[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 4616204

[0006] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent No. 6424110

[0007] Patent Document 3: Japanese Statute No. 57-34944 Summary of the Invention

[0008] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0009] For example, in fishing rods designed for large fish, the rod body and line guides require corresponding mechanical strength. Therefore, the rod body and line guides are enlarged, and the guide frame holding the line guides is designed as a large, bipedal type to ensure the necessary rigidity. This increases the weight of the rod. Furthermore, since a large line reel adapted to the target is attached to the rod, the assembled rod and rig become quite heavy.

[0010] In this specification, "bipedal type" refers to a structure in which the guide frame holding the guide ring has a pair of support feet arranged in a direction along the central axis of the guide ring. Additionally, the term "bipedal type" also includes cases where at least one support foot has a pair of foot pieces spaced apart radially along the guide ring.

[0011] Furthermore, in shore fishing, anglers sometimes rest by placing or leaning their fishing rods (with the rig assembled) against rocks. There are also instances where rods leaning against rocks may fall over due to sudden gusts of wind. In these situations, because the rod is heavy, the guide ring, which is held in place by the guide frame, may be damaged when the guide frame collides with the rock. Since the guide ring supports the fishing line, if it is damaged and the line comes into contact with the damaged area, the line may break, preventing the angler from continuing to fish. This problem is particularly pronounced when the guide ring is made of ceramic; a strong impact can cause the ceramic guide ring to crack or break.

[0012] The present invention is made against this background, and its object is to provide a bipedal fishing line guide that improves impact resistance in order to reliably protect the guide ring.

[0013] Methods used to solve problems

[0014] (1) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the fishing line guide of the first technical solution of the present invention includes: a guide ring for guiding the fishing line; an annular frame for holding the guide ring; a first support foot for mounting on a pair of first support portions that are circumferentially separated from the frame; a second support foot for mounting on a second support portion of the frame, the second support portion being disposed in a first region between the pair of first support portions; and a buffer portion disposed in a second region opposite to the first region with reference to the pair of first support portions to mitigate the impact on the guide ring.

[0015] This fishing line guide is a bipedal type with a first support foot and a second support foot. The first and second support feet are fixed to the rod body constituting the fishing rod. In the aforementioned frame, the first region is located on the side closest to the rod body, and the second region is located further outward from the first region, relative to the rod body. Therefore, for example, when the fishing rod is leaned against a rock or similar object during actual fishing, the portion of the aforementioned frame corresponding to the second region comes into contact with the rock or similar object. In this invention, because a buffer portion is provided in the second region, it can buffer the impact even when the fishing rod is strongly leaned against a rock or similar object, applying a strong impact force to the aforementioned frame. Therefore, damage to the aforementioned guide ring can be prevented.

[0016] (2) In the fishing line guide according to the first technical solution of the present invention, the aforementioned buffer portion is formed by the gap between the aforementioned frame and the aforementioned guide ring formed in the aforementioned second region.

[0017] According to this structure, by providing the aforementioned gap, a non-contact portion is formed between the aforementioned frame and the aforementioned guide ring. Therefore, in the event of an impact force applied to the aforementioned frame, the aforementioned gap also mitigates the impact force, preventing the transmission of a large force to the guide ring. Thus, the guide ring can be reliably protected.

[0018] (3) In the fishing line guide of the third technical solution following the second technical solution of the present invention, the aforementioned gap has a first gap extending circumferentially along the aforementioned guide ring.

[0019] Based on this structure, the guide ring is distributed throughout its circumference to suppress the transmission of impact force. Therefore, damage to the guide ring can be prevented more reliably.

[0020] (4) In the fishing line guide of the fourth technical solution following the third technical solution of the present invention, the aforementioned first gap is formed by a first notch in which at least a portion of the aforementioned frame is cut in the aforementioned second region.

[0021] According to this structure, the first gap can be easily formed by cutting through the aforementioned frame. Furthermore, by cutting through the aforementioned frame in the second region, the transmission of impact force can be suppressed at a location closer to the point where the impact force is applied. Therefore, damage to the guide ring can be prevented more effectively.

[0022] (5) In the fishing line guide of the fifth technical solution following any one of the second to fourth technical solutions of the present invention, the aforementioned gap has a second gap extending in a direction that intersects the circumferential direction of the aforementioned guide ring.

[0023] According to this structure, by providing the aforementioned second gap, a non-contact portion is formed between the aforementioned frame and the aforementioned guide ring. Therefore, in the event of an impact force applied to the aforementioned frame, the aforementioned second gap also mitigates the impact force, preventing the transmission of a large force to the guide ring. Thus, the guide ring can be reliably protected.

[0024] (6) In the fishing line guide of the sixth technical solution following the fifth technical solution of the present invention, the aforementioned second gap is formed by a second notch in which at least a portion of the aforementioned frame is cut in the aforementioned second region.

[0025] According to this structure, the aforementioned second gap is simply formed by cutting through the frame. Furthermore, by cutting through the frame in the aforementioned second region, the transmission of the impact force can be suppressed at a location closer to the point where the impact force is applied. Therefore, damage to the guide ring can be prevented more effectively.

[0026] (7) In the fishing line guide of the seventh technical solution following the first technical solution of the present invention, the aforementioned buffer portion has an elongated groove formed in the aforementioned frame in the aforementioned second region.

[0027] According to this structure, when an impact force is applied to the aforementioned frame, the elongated groove will also mitigate the impact force, preventing the transmission of a large force to the guide ring. Therefore, the guide ring can be reliably protected.

[0028] (8) In the fishing line guide of the eighth technical solution following the seventh technical solution of the present invention, the aforementioned elongated groove extends circumferentially along the aforementioned guide ring.

[0029] Based on this structure, the guide ring is distributed throughout its circumference to suppress the transmission of impact force. Therefore, damage to the guide ring can be prevented more reliably. Attached Figure Description

[0045] The following is a brief reference to the appendix. Figure 1 The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below. Furthermore, this embodiment is merely one form of the fishing line guide of the present invention, and variations may be made without altering the spirit of the invention.

[0046] <First Implementation>

[0047] 1. Overview of Fishing Line Guides

[0048] Figures 1 to 4 The structure of the fishing line guide 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 This is the front view of the fishing line guide 10. Figure 2 and Figure 3 They are Figure 1 II-direction view and III-direction view. Figure 4 yes Figure 2 Sectional view IV-IV.

[0049] The fishing line guide 10 is mounted on the rod body that constitutes the fishing rod. The fishing line guide 10 has a guide ring 14, a frame 15 that holds the guide ring 14, a first support leg 16, and a second support leg 17. That is, the fishing line guide 10 is bipedal. A characteristic of the fishing line guide 10 of this embodiment is the construction of the frame 15, specifically the provision of a buffer portion 12 within the frame 15. That is, by providing the buffer portion 12, when an external force is applied to the frame 15, the propagation of the impact force to the guide ring 14 can be suppressed. As a result, damage to the guide ring 14 can be prevented during actual fishing.

[0050] 2. Framework

[0051] In this embodiment, the frame 15, the first support leg 16, and the second support leg 17 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, they are made of titanium alloy. However, other metal materials, resins, etc., can also be used to form the frame 15, the first support leg 16, and the second support leg 17. Alternatively, the frame 15, the first support leg 16, and the second support leg 17 can be configured as different components and assembled together.

[0052] The frame 15 is annular, and in this embodiment, it is circular. A guide ring 14 is embedded in the inner circumferential surface of the frame 15. The guide ring 14 is a component that guides the fishing line and is formed into a ring shape. The material constituting the guide ring 14 is typically silicon carbide (SiC). The center of the frame 15 coincides with the center of the guide ring 14, and reference numeral 18 indicates the axis of the guide ring 14 and the frame 15. In this embodiment, with the fishing line guide 10 fixed to the rod body, reference numeral 19 indicates the rod tip orientation in the direction of the axis 18, and reference numeral 20 indicates the rod butt orientation in the direction of the axis 18. However, the frame 15 may also be configured such that reference numeral 19 indicates the rod butt orientation and reference numeral 20 indicates the rod tip orientation.

[0053] 3. First support leg

[0054] The first support leg 16 is mounted on the frame 15 and extends toward the rod tip 19. The first support leg 16 has a pair of foot plates 21 and foot plates 22 (see reference). Figure 2 and Figure 3 Foot piece 21 and foot piece 22 as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is formed symmetrically from left to right as shown.

[0055] One end 23 of foot piece 21 and one end 24 of foot piece 22 are mounted on a designated portion 25 (equivalent to the "first support portion" as described in the claims) on the periphery of frame 15. This designated portion 25 is located at two circumferentially separated locations on the periphery of frame 15 (see reference 25). Figure 3 In this specification, the region 33 between a pair of defined portions 25 on the periphery of the frame 15 is defined as the "first region". This first region 33 corresponds to the lower edge portion of the frame 15 in this figure.

[0056] The other end 31 of foot piece 21 and the other end 32 of foot piece 22 are connected to form a fixing part 26. In this embodiment, the fixing part 26 is formed as a generally rectangular plate and extends toward the rod head 19 in the direction of the aforementioned axis 18. However, the external shape of the fixing part 26 is not particularly limited.

[0057] 4. Second support leg

[0058] The second support leg 17 is mounted on the frame 15 and extends downward in the figure. One end 27 of the second support leg 17 is mounted on the lower edge of the frame 15. Specifically, one end 27 of the second support leg 17 is mounted in the central portion 34 of the first region 33 of the frame 15 (corresponding to the "second support portion" as described in the claims). A fixing portion 29 is formed at the other end of the second support leg 17. In this embodiment, the fixing portion 29 is formed in a generally rectangular plate shape, similar to the fixing portion 26 of the first support leg 16. The fixing portion 29 extends toward the rod end 20 in the direction of the aforementioned axis 18. However, the external shape of the fixing portion 29 is not particularly limited.

[0059] 5. Buffer section

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the buffer portion 12 is provided in the second region 35 of the frame 15, opposite to the first region 33. Specifically, the second region 35 is provided on the opposite side (the upper side in this figure) of the first region 33, with reference to the defined portion 25 of the frame 15. This second region 35 is the region outside the frame 15 with reference to the rod body in actual fishing.

[0061] Figure 5 yes Figure 2 Enlarged view of the main parts Figure 6 yes Figure 3 Enlarged views of the main parts. These views show the shape of the buffer section 12 in detail.

[0062] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the buffer section 12 is formed by a gap 36 between the frame 15 and the guide ring 14. This gap 36 extends through the frame 15 along the direction of the axis 18 (perpendicular to the plane of the paper in this figure) (see reference). Figure 4 In this embodiment, the gap 36 (equivalent to the "first gap" as described in the claims) is crescent-shaped and extends circumferentially along the guide ring 14.

[0063] Figure 7 This is the front view of the metal plate 37, which is the material of frame 15.

[0064] In this embodiment, the frame 15 is formed by pressure processing of the metal plate 37 shown in the figure. The metal plate 37 is made of titanium alloy in this embodiment. The wall thickness of the metal plate 37 is not particularly limited, but is approximately 1.5 mm in this embodiment. The metal plate 37 is formed into the shape shown in the figure by a so-called punching process. The metal plate 37 has a central annular portion 38, a U-shaped foot 39, and a straight foot 40. A portion of the central annular portion 38 is cut to form a notch 42 (corresponding to the "first notch" as described in the claims). This notch 42 is crescent-shaped as shown in the figure. The U-shaped foot 39 is continuous with the defined portion 41 of the central annular portion 38, and is continuous below the central annular portion 38 in the figure. The straight foot 40 is continuous with the center of the lower edge of the central annular portion 38, and extends downwards in the figure.

[0065] The metal plate 37 is bent along pressure lines 43 to 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, and 51. By bending the metal plate 37 along pressure line 43, the central annular portion 38 forms the frame 15, and this bent portion becomes the part into which the guide ring 14 is embedded. Because the aforementioned notch 42 is provided in the central annular portion 38, a gap 36 (see reference) is formed by bending the metal plate 37 along pressure line 43. Figure 5 and Figure 6 ).

[0066] The metal plate 37 is bent along pressure lines 44 and 45, and the straight foot 40 forms the second support foot 17. The portion bent along the pressure line 45 forms the fixing part 29.

[0067] The metal plate 37 is bent along pressure lines 46 and 47, and further bent along pressure lines 48 and 49, forming a U-shaped foot 39 that constitutes the first support foot 16. Specifically, the aforementioned defined portion 41 of the metal plate 37 constitutes the defined portion 25 of the frame 15, and pressure lines 46 and 47 become one end 23 of the aforementioned foot piece 21 and one end 24 of the aforementioned foot piece 22. The portion bent along pressure lines 50 and 51 forms a fixing portion 26.

[0068] 6. Effects

[0069] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, if the first support leg 16 and the second support leg 17 of the fishing line guide 10 are fixed to the rod body, the first region 33 of the frame 15 is located on the side closest to the rod body, and the second region 35 is located on the outside of the first region 33 relative to the rod body. Therefore, for example, when the fishing rod is leaned against a rock or similar object during actual fishing, the part corresponding to the second region 35 of the frame 15 will contact the rock or similar object. Since a buffer portion 12 is provided in this second region 35, even if the fishing rod is strongly leaned against a rock or similar object and a strong impact is applied to the frame 15, the buffer portion 12 will also mitigate the impact and prevent damage to the guide ring 14.

[0070] In this embodiment, since the buffer portion 12 is formed by the gap 36 formed in the second region, a portion is formed between the frame 15 and the guide ring 14 where the two do not contact each other. Because of the formation of this "non-contact portion", even if an impact force is applied to the frame 15, a large force is not transmitted to the guide ring 14, thus reliably protecting the guide ring 14.

[0071] In particular, the aforementioned gap 36 (the aforementioned "non-contact portion") is as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a gap (the aforementioned "first gap") extending circumferentially along the guide ring 14 is formed. Therefore, the guide ring 14 and its circumference suppress the transmission of impact force, and the damage prevention of the guide ring 14 becomes more reliable.

[0072] In this embodiment, the aforementioned gap 36 is as follows Figure 7 As shown, it is constructed by cutting a portion of the frame 15. Thus, the aforementioned gap 36 is constructed simply and inexpensively. Furthermore, as... Figure 2 As shown, by cutting the frame 15 in the second region 35, the impact is mitigated in the area closer to where the impact force was applied, thus more effectively preventing damage to the guide ring 14.

[0073] 7. Variations

[0074] Figure 8 This is a side view of the fishing line guide 60 of the aforementioned modified example of the first embodiment, showing the state of the rod head facing 19 in the axial direction 18. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 IX-IX sectional view.

[0075] The difference between the fishing line guide 60 in this modified example and the fishing line guide 10 in the aforementioned embodiments lies in the shape of the buffer portion 62. That is, the buffer portion 12 of the fishing line guide 10 (see...) Figure 5 and Figure 6The guide ring 14 is a crescent shape extending circumferentially, while the buffer portion 62 of the fishing line guide 60 has an irregular shape as described later. Other than that, the structure of the fishing line guide 60 is the same as that of the fishing line guide 10.

[0076] Figure 10 yes Figure 8 The enlarged view of the main part shows the shape of the buffer part 62 in detail. Figure 11 Indicates in Figure 10 The state of the buffer section 62 as viewed from the back side, that is, the state of the rod tip facing 20 in the direction of the axis 18.

[0077] The buffer section 62 is formed by cutting out a portion of the frame 15, similar to the embodiment described above (see reference). Figure 7 The buffer portion 62 has a transverse notch 63 and a longitudinal notch 64 in the second region 35. The transverse notch 63 extends radially along the guide ring 14, and the longitudinal notch 64 (corresponding to "second gap" or "second notch" as stated in the claims) is continuous at the center of the transverse notch 63 and extends in a direction intersecting the transverse notch 63 (corresponding to "direction intersecting the circumferential direction" as stated in the claims).

[0078] The length 65 of the transverse notch 63 can be appropriately set, but in this modified example, it is different from the aforementioned gap 36 (see reference). Figure 5 The length (radial dimension) of the longitudinal notch 64 is the same. The longitudinal notch 64 extends radially (upwards in this figure) from the transverse notch 63 into the guide ring 14. The length 67 of the longitudinal notch 64 is set to approximately 0.50 mm to 1.00 mm, and in this variation, it is set to 0.75 mm, but is not particularly limited. The width 66 of the longitudinal notch 64 is set to approximately 0.50 mm to 0.80 mm, and in this variation, it is set to 0.63 mm, but is not particularly limited. Furthermore, in this variation, the longitudinal notch 64 is continuous with the center of the transverse notch 63, but it may also be continuous with other portions.

[0079] In the fishing line guide 60 of this modification, the longitudinal notch 64 creates a non-contact portion between the frame 15 and the guide ring 14. Therefore, even when an impact force is applied to the frame 15, the longitudinal notch 64 mitigates the impact force and protects the guide ring 14. In this modification, the buffer portion 62 also has a transverse notch 63, thus providing high buffering performance. However, the transverse notch 63 can be omitted.

[0080] In this modified example, since the horizontal notch 63 and the vertical notch 64 are formed by cutting through a portion of the frame 15, the horizontal notch 63 and the vertical notch 64 can be formed simply and inexpensively. Furthermore, as... Figure 8As shown, because the frame 15 is cut in the second region 35, the impact is mitigated at the location closer to where the aforementioned impact force was applied. As a result, damage to the guide ring 14 can be prevented more effectively.

[0081] <Second Implementation Method>

[0082] Figure 12 This is a side view of the fishing line guide 70 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, showing the state of the rod head facing 19 in the axial direction 18. Figure 13 yes Figure 12 Cross-sectional view of XHI-XIII.

[0083] The difference between the fishing line guide 70 of this embodiment and the fishing line guide 10 of the aforementioned embodiments lies in the shape of the buffer portion 72. That is, the buffer portion 12 of the fishing line guide 10 (see...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 The gap 36 is formed by cutting through a part of the frame 15, and in contrast, the buffer part 72 of the fishing line guide 70 is provided in the elongated slot 73 of the frame 15. Other than that, the structure of the fishing line guide 70 is the same as that of the fishing line guide 10.

[0084] Figure 14 yes Figure 12 The enlarged view of the main part shows the shape of the buffer part 72 in detail. Figure 15 Indicates in Figure 14 The state of the buffer section 72 as viewed from the back side, that is, the state of the rod tip facing 20 in the direction of the axis 18.

[0085] The buffer section 72 is formed by punching through a portion of the frame 15. That is, as... Figure 7 As shown, during the processing of metal plate 37, metal plate 37 is punched to replace the notch 42 and form a groove extending in an arc shape. The punched groove constitutes the aforementioned elongated groove 73.

[0086] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the elongated groove 73 constituting the buffer section 72 extends circumferentially along the guide ring 14 in the second region 35.

[0087] An elongated groove 73 is disposed at the center of the second region 35. That is, the center of the arc-shaped elongated groove 73 coincides with the center of the second region 35. The elongated groove 73 extends symmetrically from the center of the second region 35 in the aforementioned circumferential direction as shown in the figure. The central angle θ formed by the elongated groove 73 is set to be between 45 degrees and 60 degrees in this embodiment, but the central angle θ is not particularly limited. Alternatively, the center of the elongated groove 73 may not coincide with the center of the second region 35. The width 74 of the elongated groove 73 is set to be approximately from 0.50 mm to 0.10 mm, and is set to 0.80 mm in this embodiment, but is not particularly limited.

[0088] In the fishing line guide 70 of this embodiment, since an elongated groove 73 is provided, the elongated groove 73 also mitigates the impact force when the frame 15 is subjected to an impact force, thus protecting the guide ring 14.

[0089] In this embodiment, since the elongated groove 73 is formed by punching the metal plate 37, the elongated groove 73 can be constructed simply and inexpensively. Furthermore, as... Figure 12 As shown, because an elongated groove 73 is formed in the frame 15 in the second region 35, the impact is mitigated at a location closer to the point where the aforementioned impact force is applied. As a result, damage to the guide ring 14 can be prevented more effectively.

[0090] In particular, since the elongated groove 73 extends circumferentially along the guide ring 14, the guide ring 14 can suppress the transmission of impact force throughout its circumference. Therefore, damage to the guide ring 14 can be prevented more reliably.
