Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fishing tackle, and in particular relates to a rod holder. Background Technology
[0002] Rod supports are essential auxiliary tools for both hand and sea rod fishing. Their purpose is to prop up fishing rods and set them up on the bank of the fishing area. The main benefits of using rod supports are: firstly, reducing the angler's physical exertion, as prolonged rod holding can easily lead to fatigue; secondly, rod supports allow for the monitoring of multiple rods simultaneously, thus improving fishing efficiency; and thirdly, some fishing methods, such as sea rod fishing, require rod supports. Rod supports come in various structural types. As an outdoor tool, lightweight, flexible, compact, easy to carry, and easy to assemble are all design goals for rod supports.
[0003] Currently, the main material of most metal shelves on the market is round or irregularly shaped tubing. The extension and retraction are usually locked by plastic parts or tightened by handwheels. The above structure results in a relatively simple main material form for the shelf. After locking, the gap between the outer and inner tubes is relatively large and the stability is not good. In addition, when folding the existing shelf, it is usually necessary to disassemble and separate each part before putting it into an outer bag. This will result in the parts being scattered and easy to lose after disassembly and assembly, and the packaging is also inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of shelf with a novel design and structure, which offers better stability and more compact packaging.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A support frame includes a connector, a support leg assembly, and a crossbeam assembly. The support leg assembly is hinged or inserted into the connector. The connector is disposed at the end of the crossbeam assembly. The crossbeam assembly and / or the support leg assembly include a telescopic assembly. The telescopic assembly includes an inner telescopic member and an outer telescopic member. Both the inner and outer telescopic members are profile or sheet metal structures. The inner telescopic member is slidable along the outer telescopic member. The inner and outer telescopic members are provided with locking components to keep them in a fixed position. When locked, at least a portion of the profile or sheet metal inner telescopic member is in contact with the outer telescopic member.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the locking assembly includes a locking knob, a locking block, and an elongated through hole provided on the outer telescopic member and / or the inner telescopic member. One of the locking knob and the locking block is connected to a screw that passes through the elongated through hole, and the other of the locking knob and the locking block is threadedly connected to the screw. By adjusting the locking knob, the locking block clamps / releases the outer telescopic member and the inner telescopic member.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the outer telescopic component includes a first side wing and a second side wing. The first side wing is bent and / or flexed towards the inner telescopic component, and the second side wing is bent and / or flexed towards the inner telescopic component. The inner telescopic component includes a third side wing and a fourth side wing. The third side wing is bent and / or flexed away from the outer telescopic component, and the fourth side wing is bent and / or flexed away from the outer telescopic component. When in the locked state, the first side wing is in contact with the third side wing, and the second side wing is in contact with the fourth side wing. This structure allows multiple different surfaces of the inner and outer telescopic components to come into contact and fit together when locked, with almost no gaps between the inner and outer telescopic components, greatly improving stability.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the outer telescopic component includes a first intermediate connecting portion, which connects to a first side wing and a second side wing. The inner telescopic component includes a second intermediate connecting portion, which connects to a third side wing and a fourth side wing. An elongated through hole is located in either the first or second intermediate connecting portion. The locking block has a first mating surface and a second mating surface on both sides. When in the locked state, the first mating surface fits against the first or third side wing, and the second mating surface fits against the second or fourth side wing. This structure ensures a tight fit between the locking block and the outer or inner telescopic component, reducing gaps and further improving stability. It also facilitates the rotation and unlocking operation of the locking knob.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the assembly also includes a support fork assembly and a support fork upright. The support fork upright is disposed at the lower part of the support fork assembly and is inserted into the connector. The support fork upright is fixed in position to the connector by a latch disposed on the connector.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the connector includes a connector body, the upper end face of which is provided with an installation hole for inserting the support fork upright, and one side of the connector body is provided with a storage hole for placing the support fork upright after folding.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, when the support frame is in the folded state, the support leg assembly is folded relative to the crossbeam assembly, and there is a gap space between the support leg assembly and the crossbeam assembly. At least a portion of the support fork upright is located within the storage hole and the gap space. This structure allows the support fork upright to be inserted into the internal gap of the support frame through the storage hole on the connector after folding, resulting in a more compact storage structure.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the gap space is formed by the first and second side wings of the crossbeam assembly or the third and fourth side wings of the crossbeam assembly combined with the first and second side wings of the support leg assembly or the third and fourth side wings of the support leg assembly.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the connector includes a connector body, and a top block that slides along the extension direction of the crossbeam assembly is provided inside the connector body. A locking hole is provided on the connector body. The latch includes a latch body and a notched shaft fixed to the lower part of the latch body. The shaft passes through the locking hole and is inserted into the top block. As the latch body rotates, the shaft drives the top block to move, so that the top block presses against or disengages from the support fork upright.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the main body of the connector is also provided with a limiting protrusion, and the two sides of the latch body are also provided with notches. When the latch body is in the locked or unlocked position, one side wall of the notch abuts against the limiting protrusion.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] The crossbeam assembly and / or support leg assembly of this utility model are made of profiles or plates, and are fixed in position by locking components. Compared with traditional pipe support brackets, the gap is smaller and the stability is better after locking. Attached Figure Description
