Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of float seat and float foot fixing technology, and in particular to float seat metal retaining rings. Background Technology

[0002] In fishing, the float seat is a crucial component connecting the fishing line and the float. Its core function is to securely hold the float's stem in place and clearly transmit the bite signal to the float. Existing float seat structures typically have a hole in the center of the seat for the float stem to insert. The most common form of this type of hole is a simple straight cylindrical hole, which relies primarily on the friction between the inserted float stem and the hole wall for fixation.

[0003] This traditional single friction fixing method has the drawbacks of insufficient stability and easy loosening and loss. In particular, when the fishing line is frequently swayed, vibrated or impacted by external forces such as water flow, wind, line reeling or casting, or the struggle of a fish after being hooked, the clamping force generated by the friction of the straight tube hole wall is often insufficient to firmly fix the float foot. The float foot is very easy to rotate, shake or even fall off completely in the hole. This not only leads to the loss of the float and economic loss, but more importantly, it forces the interruption of fishing for repair, which seriously affects the efficiency and experience of fishing.

[0004] In other words, existing technology has the following technical problem: ordinary float seats are prone to loosening when fixing the float foot. Therefore, a float seat metal retaining spring is proposed to address the above problem. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In this embodiment, a metal retaining ring for the float seat is provided to solve the problem that ordinary float seats in the prior art are prone to loosening when fixing the float foot.

[0006] According to one aspect of this application, a float seat metal retainer is provided, the float seat metal retainer comprising:

[0007] A float base, wherein a socket is provided in the middle of the float base for inserting the float foot;

[0008] A retaining spring assembly is disposed inside the float base. The retaining spring assembly consists of a horizontal plate, an elastic part, and a protrusion. The retaining spring assembly is used to further clamp and fix the inserted float foot.

[0009] Furthermore, the socket has an inverted frustum shape, which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, a raised strip is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the insertion hole.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of raised strips are provided, and the plurality of raised strips are arranged in an equidistant circular array on the inner wall of the socket.

[0012] Furthermore, the raised strip is elongated and vertically oriented, and is made of an elastic material.

[0013] Furthermore, a through hole is provided at the middle position of the horizontal plate portion of the snap ring assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, elastic portions are fixedly connected to both sides of the horizontal plate, and a protrusion is provided at one end of the elastic portion.

[0015] Furthermore, the sides of the protrusion are arc-shaped.

[0016] Furthermore, the surface of the protrusion is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0017] In order to solve the problem that ordinary float seats in the prior art are prone to falling off and being lost after prolonged use due to insufficient stability after the float foot is inserted, this application designs a retaining spring assembly. By setting the retaining spring assembly inside the float seat, the inserted float foot can be effectively fixed, making the float foot more stable and avoiding the problem of falling off and being lost. At the same time, the insertion and fixing is simple and convenient, and it is not easy to damage the float foot, making it suitable for widespread use. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, the float seat metal retainer spring includes:

[0033] The float base 1 has a socket 101 in the middle, which is used to insert the float foot.

[0034] The snap ring assembly 3 is disposed inside the float seat 1. The snap ring assembly 3 is composed of a horizontal plate, an elastic part and a protrusion. The snap ring assembly 3 is used to further clamp and fix the inserted float foot.

[0035] Preferably, the interior of the float seat 1 has a mounting cavity below the insertion hole 101 for accommodating the snap ring assembly 3, the shape of which matches the outer periphery of the horizontal plate portion of the snap ring assembly 3.

[0036] Through the above technical solution, the snap ring assembly 3 set inside the float seat 1 can effectively fix the inserted float foot, making the float foot more stable and avoiding the problem of falling off and being lost. At the same time, the insertion and fixing is simple and convenient, and it is not easy to damage the float foot, making it suitable for widespread use.

[0037] The socket 101 has an inverted frustum-shaped structure with a larger upper end and a smaller lower end; a protruding strip 102 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the socket 101; a plurality of protruding strips 102 are provided, and a plurality of protruding strips 102 are arranged in an equidistant ring array on the inner wall of the socket 101.

[0038] The raised strip 102 is long and vertically oriented. The raised strip 102 is made of elastic material, preferably wear-resistant rubber. With this technical solution, when the float foot is inserted into the insertion hole 101, it will come into contact with the raised strip 102. As it is inserted, the float foot will be squeezed against the raised strip 102, which will help to squeeze and fix the float foot.

[0039] A through hole is provided at the middle position of the horizontal plate of the snap ring assembly 3.

[0040] Both sides of the horizontal plate are fixedly connected to elastic parts, and one end of the elastic part is provided with a protrusion. With this technical solution, after the float foot is inserted, it is inserted between the two protrusions through the through hole of the horizontal plate. Thus, through the elastic action of the elastic part, the protrusion clamps the float foot and plays a role in fastening and fixing. The side of the protrusion is arc-shaped, and the surface of the protrusion is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0041] Example 1 of snap ring assembly 3:

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the snap ring assembly 3 includes a first horizontal plate 301, a connecting plate 303, a circular bent protrusion 304, and a first groove 305. The first horizontal plate 301, the connecting plate 303, and the circular bent protrusion 304 are integrally formed of elastic metal material. A first hole 302 is provided on the first horizontal plate 301, and a first groove 305 is provided on the surface of the circular bent protrusion 304.

[0043] Specifically, the connecting plate 303 is an elastic metal sheet with a certain width, and its bottom two sides are bent towards the center to form two symmetrical circular bending protrusions 304 with concave arc surfaces.

[0044] Embodiment 2 of the snap ring assembly 3:

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, the snap ring assembly 3 includes a second horizontal plate 306, a spring sheet 308, a semi-circular protrusion 309, and a second groove 310. One end of the spring sheet 308 is fixedly connected to both sides of the second horizontal plate 306. The bottom end of the spring sheet 308 is fixedly connected to the semi-circular protrusion 309. The surface of the semi-circular protrusion 309 is provided with a second groove 310. A second hole 307 is provided on the second horizontal plate 306.

[0046] The spring sheet 308 is an elastic metal sheet, which can be straight or slightly curved.

[0047] When in use, after the snap ring assembly 3 is fixedly installed inside the float base 1, the central axis of the through hole (first hole 302, second hole 307) on its horizontal plate portion coincides with the central axis of the insertion hole 101.

[0048] The protrusions (circular bent protrusion 304 and semi-circular protrusion 309) of the snap ring assembly 3 are located above or directly below the lower opening of the insertion hole 101. In the initial state when the float foot is not inserted, the minimum gap between the two protrusions is also smaller than the diameter of the float foot.

[0049] When the float foot is inserted: the float foot passes through the inverted frustum-shaped insertion hole 101 in sequence, and squeezes the elastic protrusion strip 102 on the inner wall to obtain initial guidance and friction fixation; the end of the float foot continues to descend and passes through the through hole of the horizontal plate of the snap ring assembly 3; the end of the float foot squeezes the protrusion of the snap ring assembly 3 downward, forcing the protrusion to overcome the elastic force of its elastic part (connecting plate 303 / spring sheet 308) and produce elastic deformation, thereby making room for the float foot.

[0050] Fixed state: When the float foot reaches the designed insertion depth, the restoring force of the elastic part (connecting plate 303 / spring sheet 308) acts on the protrusion (circular bent protrusion 304 / semi-circular protrusion block 309), pushing the protrusion to press tightly against the outer circumferential surface of the float foot. The anti-slip groove (first groove 305 / second groove 310) provided on the surface of the protrusion increases the friction with the surface of the float foot, forming a clamping force, effectively preventing the float foot from loosening due to external force or vibration.

[0051] When the float foot is pulled out: the user applies a pulling force to overcome the friction of the inner wall protrusion strip 102 and the elastic clamping force and frictional resistance of the protrusion of the snap ring assembly 3. The protrusion of the snap ring assembly is squeezed and deformed again by the float foot until the float foot is completely pulled out, and the protrusion returns to its initial natural state.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
