Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present utility model relates to a reel seat for mounting a fishing reel and a fishing rod equipped with the reel seat. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, on a fishing rod equipped with various fishing reels, a reel seat is provided on the proximal end side. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the reel seat includes: a fixed cover into which one end of the reel foot is fitted; and a movable cover into which the other end of the reel foot is fitted. The movable cover is configured to be movable closer to / away from the fixed cover by rotating a nut member, and a fishing reel can be attached / detached between the movable cover and the fixed cover.

[0003] Generally, the end of the nut member and the end of the movable cover are integrated by an engaging unit, and are configured such that when the nut member is rotated, the movable cover is not driven, but moves axially together with the nut member. The end of the nut member bulges in the radial direction, and a ring-shaped recess is formed on its inner surface. Further, on the end of the movable cover, a ring-shaped protrusion that fits into the ring-shaped recess of the nut member is formed, and is configured such that the nut member and the movable cover can move integrally in the axial direction through the fitting of the ring-shaped recess and the ring-shaped protrusion.

[0004] At this time, on the inner surface of the movable cover, an engaging portion (such as a recess or a protrusion) extending in the axial direction is formed, and by engaging this engaging portion with a rotation restricting portion formed on the seat body, the movable cover can move axially without being driven by the nut member.

[0005] Patent Document

[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2020-89310 Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] As Figure 7 shown in (a) to (c), the existing engaging unit 100 of the nut member and the movable cover has, on the end of the nut member 110, a raised portion 112 having a ring-shaped recess 111 formed on its inner surface, and the ring-shaped protrusion 121 formed on the outer surface of the end of the movable cover 120 is fitted into the ring-shaped recess 111. Therefore, the raised portion 112 is configured to have an exposed area having a certain length in the axial direction.

[0008] Since such exposed areas are easily visually recognizable, when coating is performed to improve aesthetics, it is necessary to cover the portions other than the exposed areas, which may lead to an increase in steps and a possibility of processing defects. In addition, when coating the floating collar side, the annular convex portion is in an exposed state, so it is also necessary to cover this portion. Therefore, similar to the floating collar side, it may also lead to an increase in steps and a possibility of processing defects.

[0009] Moreover, since there are raised portions on the nut member, the diameter of the end side of the floating collar becomes larger. When holding and maintaining the fishing reel and the reel seat together, the holding feeling is damaged. In particular, in a spinning reel, a gripping method of covering the floating collar portion with fingers is adopted. Therefore, when the diameter of this portion is larger, the holding feeling becomes worse.

[0010] The present utility model is made in view of the above problems, and the technical problem to be solved is to provide a reel seat that can simplify the processing procedure of the engaging portion between the nut member and the floating collar, and has a good holding feeling for the floating collar portion.

[0011] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides a reel seat, comprising: a floating collar; a nut member for axially moving the floating collar; and an engaging unit for engaging the floating collar and the nut member so that they can move axially integrally. The engaging unit is characterized in that it has: an annular recess formed on the outer surface of the end side of the nut member; an annular convex portion formed on the inner surface of the end side of the floating collar and fitted with the annular recess; and an annular flange formed adjacent to the annular recess formed on the nut member and abutting against the open end edge of the floating collar when the annular recess of the nut member is fitted with the annular convex portion of the floating collar.

[0012] According to the above reel seat, since the engaging relationship between the nut member and the floating collar is performed by using the annular recess formed on the outer surface of the end side of the nut member and the annular convex portion formed on the inner surface of the end side of the floating collar, and when the annular recess is fitted with the annular convex portion, the open end edge of the floating collar abuts against the annular flange, the annular convex portion does not expose on the outer surface of the floating collar side. When coating the floating collar, there is no need to perform a covering process for covering the annular convex portion.

[0013] In addition, since the open end edge of the floating collar abuts against the annular flange on the nut member side, there is no need to form a relatively long raised portion in the axial direction as in the past, and the coating and covering processes on the nut member side can be omitted. Moreover, since the engaging area between the floating collar and the nut member does not become longer in the axial direction and does not bulge significantly in the radial direction, the holding feeling does not decrease.

[0014] In addition, the contact state between the annular flange and the open end edge of the movable cover also includes a state in which a slight gap is generated therebetween. For example, a gap may be generated between the nut member and the movable cover when they are pulled in opposite directions, and the gap between them disappears and they come into contact with each other when the nut member and the movable cover are pressed in the direction of pressing each other. For such a gap, if it is too large, there is a possibility of functional problems such as a reduction in appearance or the occurrence of looseness, so it is preferably 0.3 mm or less.

[0015] According to the above-described engagement unit of the movable cover and the nut member, although an annular recess is formed on the outer surface of the end portion side of the nut member, and an annular protrusion that fits into the annular recess is formed on the inner surface of the end portion side of the movable cover, it may also be configured such that an annular protrusion is formed on the outer surface of the end portion side of the nut member, and an annular recess that fits into the annular protrusion is formed on the inner surface of the end portion side of the movable cover.

[0016] According to the present utility model, a spool seat capable of simplifying the processing procedure of the engagement portion between the nut member and the movable cover and having a good grip feeling for the movable cover portion, and a fishing rod having such a spool seat can be obtained.

[0026] Next, a specific embodiment of the spool base according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] Figures 1 to 5 FIG. 15 is a view showing a first embodiment of the spool base according to the present invention. In the following embodiments, the nut member and the movable cover move integrally in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) X.

[0028] The spool base 1 according to the present embodiment includes a cylindrical spool base body 2 (hereinafter referred to as the body 2) that is fitted into a rod 80 of a fishing rod, and the following components are provided on the body 2. The body 2 can be formed of, for example, synthetic resin, metal, or the like.

[0029] The body 2 has: a spool foot placement surface 3, which is a flat surface for placing a spool foot 90 of a fishing spool; and a pair of covers 5 and 6 that are disposed opposite to each other before and after the spool foot placement surface 3 and have openings 5a and 6a for receiving the spool foot 90. Among the pair of covers, at least one is configured to be movable (in the present embodiment, the cover 5 is a movable cover; hereinafter referred to as the movable cover 5), and the movable cover 5 is integrated with the nut member 7 through an engaging unit 10, and the nut member 7 has an internal thread portion 7a on its inner peripheral surface that engages with an external thread portion 2a formed on the outer peripheral surface of the body 2.

[0030] The engaging portion 10 has a function of integrally moving the movable cover 5 along the axial direction X through the screw engagement relationship between the external thread portion 2a of the body 2 and the internal thread portion 7a when the nut member 7 is rotated. In addition, a driving restriction mechanism is provided between the body 2 and the movable cover 5 so that the movable cover 5 is not driven when the nut member 7 is rotated to move the movable cover 5 along the axial direction X. That is, by rotating the nut member 7, the movable cover 5 does not rotate but approaches or moves away from the cover 6, and thus the spool foot 90 of the fishing spool can be firmly fixed or removed.

[0031] As is well known, the driving restriction mechanism can be configured as follows, for example. On the left and right side surfaces of the main body 2, a guiding portion (not shown) for guiding the movement of the floating cover 5 is formed along the axial direction X within a specified range (corresponding to the movement length of the floating cover 5), and an engaging portion 5b integrally formed on the inner surface of the floating cover 5 is engaged with this guiding portion. Thus, when the nut member 7 is rotated, the floating cover 5 does not rotate relative to the main body 2 and can move along the axial direction X.

[0032] Next, the configuration of the above-described engaging unit 10 will be described.

[0033] The engaging unit 10 engages the floating cover 5 and the nut member 7 so that they can move integrally in the axial direction.

[0034] The engaging unit 10 of the present embodiment includes: an annular recess 11 formed on the outer surface of the end portion side of the nut member 7; an annular protrusion 16 formed on the inner surface of the end portion side of the floating cover 5 and fitted into the annular recess 11; and an annular flange 14 formed adjacent to the annular recess 11 formed on the nut member 7 and abutting against the open end edge 5A of the floating cover 5 when the annular recess 11 of the nut member 7 is fitted into the annular protrusion 16 of the floating cover 5 (see Figure 5 ).

[0035] The annular recess 11 and the annular protrusion 16 can be fitted by aligning the open end edges 7A and 5A of the nut member 7 and the floating cover 5 with each other and inserting the two along the axial direction X. Therefore, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , it is preferable to pre-form an inclined surface 11a on the open end edge 7A of the nut member 7 that gradually expands in diameter along the axial direction toward the annular recess 11. In addition, it is preferable to pre-form an inclined surface 16a on the open end edge 5A of the floating cover 5 that gradually expands in diameter toward the open side of the annular protrusion 16 so that the annular protrusion 16 can be easily inserted into the annular recess 11.

[0036] In this way, by forming the inclined surfaces 11a and 16a on the portions of the open end edges 7A and 5A of the nut member 7 and the floating cover 5, it is possible to easily insert and integrate the nut member 7 and the floating cover 5 in the axial direction.

[0037] Since the annular flange 14 formed on the outer surface of the nut member 7 is the portion that abuts against the open end edge 5A of the fitted floating cover 5, its height H (see Figure 3 ) only needs to be sufficient to ensure the wall thickness of the open end edge 5A of the floating cover 5. In addition, for its axial length (wall thickness) L (see Figure 3 ), as long as it can function as an abutting portion that abuts against the open end edge 5A of the floating cover 5, it can also be formed shorter.

[0038] Specifically, it is preferable that the height H of the flange 14 is formed to be 2.0 mm or less, and more preferably 1.5 mm or less, so that no discomfort is caused when holding the spool holder.

[0039] In addition, regarding the wall thickness L in the axial direction of the flange 14, it is preferably formed to be 1.5 mm or less so that when bonding an exterior part 20 such as a retaining ring to the outer surface 7d of the nut member 7 (see Figure 1 ), it will not affect its appearance (no additional coating etc. is required), and more preferably formed to be 1 mm or less so that it can be visually recognized as part of the pattern, such as the edge part.

[0040] According to the above-mentioned spool holder 1, since it is not necessary to form a raised portion with an engaging unit on the inner surface of the nut member as in the past, the exposed area becomes smaller, and the processing procedure of the engaging part between the nut member and the floating hood can be simplified. Specifically, the coating process of the nut member 7 can be eliminated, or the covering process during coating of the floating hood 5 can be eliminated, etc., thus simplifying the coating process. In addition, since the engaging unit is not exposed when coating is performed on the floating hood 5 side, there is no need to perform covering processes. That is, overall, the processing steps are not increased, and the possibility of processing defects is reduced.

[0041] Moreover, since no axially long raised portion that bulges in the radial direction is formed on the nut member 7, the diameter of the end portion side of the floating hood 5 does not increase. Therefore, when holding and maintaining the fishing reel together with the spool holder 1, the holding feeling is not impaired.

[0042] In the above configuration, it is preferable that the outer surface 14a of the annular flange 14 and the outer surface 5d of the floating hood 5 that abuts against the opening end edge 5A are formed in the same planar shape.

[0043] In this way, by forming the outer surface 14a of the annular flange 14 and the outer surface 5d of the floating hood 5 that abuts against the opening end edge 5A in the same planar shape, the step can be eliminated at the boundary between the two, the appearance can be improved, and the decline in the holding feeling can be suppressed. In addition, for the exterior part 20, by designing it to be in the same planar shape or integrated with the outer surface 14a of the annular flange 14, the appearance can be improved, and the decline in the holding feeling can be suppressed.

[0044] In addition, it is preferable to form an inclined surface 7e ( Figure 2 shown by the dotted line) between the outer surface 14a of the annular flange 14 and the outer surface 7d of the nut member 7.

[0045] By forming such an inclined surface, the step can be eliminated at the portion of the annular flange 14, the appearance can be improved, and the decline in the holding feeling can be suppressed.

[0046] Figure 6 FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the spool holder. (a) is a longitudinal sectional view of the nut member, (b) is a longitudinal sectional view of the movable cover, and (c) is a longitudinal sectional view showing the state where the nut member and the movable cover are integrated. In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0047] In the present embodiment, the configuration is opposite to that of the engaging unit 10 of the first embodiment described above. That is, the engaging unit 10A of the present embodiment is configured such that a ring-shaped convex portion 11A is formed on the outer surface of the end portion side of the nut member 7, and a ring-shaped concave portion 16A that engages with the ring-shaped convex portion 11A is formed on the inner surface of the end portion side of the movable cover 5. In addition, a ring-shaped flange 14 is formed on the nut member 7. The ring-shaped flange 14 is adjacent to the ring-shaped convex portion 11A, and when the ring-shaped convex portion 11A of the nut member 7 engages with the ring-shaped concave portion 16A of the movable cover 5 (refer to Figure 6 (c)), it abuts against the opening end edge 5A of the movable cover 5.

[0048] Even with such an engaging unit 10A, the same operational effects as those of the engaging unit 10 of the first embodiment can be obtained. In addition, in the present embodiment, the height and the axial thickness of the ring-shaped flange 14 may be configured to be the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0049] As described above, although the embodiments of the present invention have been described, the spool holder according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications can be appropriately made.

[0050] The above-described movable cover 5 can be disposed either on the tip side or the butt side of the fishing rod. In addition, the constituent materials and forms of the main body 2, the movable cover 5, and the nut member 7 can be appropriately modified.
