Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing gear and equipment, and in particular to a front plug structure for fishing rods. Background Technology

[0002] When not in use, telescopic fishing rods retract into the handle section, with a front cap covering the handle to prevent the internal sections from slipping out during handling. Therefore, conventional front caps are solid. However, after use, water can accumulate inside the rod sections. Failure to clean this promptly can cause paint peeling, affecting the rod's appearance and making it prone to mold growth, accelerating wear and tear. Conventional front caps lack the ability to drain this water, forcing anglers to dry all sections with a towel before retracting them into the handle and storing them, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a front plug structure for fishing rods, which aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] This application provides a fishing rod front plug structure, including an insert with a hexagonal frame of a certain thickness. An outer sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame, and an inner sleeve with a reduced diameter is fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve is hollow and cylindrical. The front side of the insert is convex in the forward direction, and multiple holes arranged in a ring around the central axis are provided on the insert. The holes communicate with the inner sleeve.

[0005] Furthermore, there is a connecting claw between two adjacent holes on the insert, with the outer end of the connecting claw fixedly connected to the frame and the inner end fixedly connected to the central protrusion.

[0006] Furthermore, the rear end of the central protrusion is fixedly connected to multiple stepped discs, the diameter of which gradually decreases from front to back, and each stepped disc has a slit on its rear end surface that extends to the side of the stepped disc.

[0007] Furthermore, the front surface of the connecting claw is inclined, and a small groove is formed on the front surface of the connecting claw, and a central groove is formed on the front surface of the central protrusion.

[0008] Furthermore, the leak holes are triangular in shape, and there are six leak holes in total.

[0009] Furthermore, the material of the insert is rust-resistant metal; the material of the inner sleeve is soft rubber; and the material of the outer sleeve is rust-resistant metal.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the fishing rod front plug proposed in this utility model, through the leakage hole and the slit, allows the rod section to retract into the handle section while still maintaining the functions of water control and drainage, without affecting the normal function of the front plug. The shape of the insert and the setting of the groove can increase the aesthetics of the front plug. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] like Figures 1-4 The diagram shows a fishing rod front cap structure, including an insert 1. The insert 1 is made of rust-resistant metal, such as aluminum alloy or titanium alloy. The metal insert 1 serves to prevent corrosion and enhance aesthetics. The insert 1 has a hexagonal frame, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the frame has a certain thickness, and an outer sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame. An inner sleeve 3 with a reduced diameter is fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer sleeve 2. In use, the inner sleeve 3 is inserted into the front end of the fishing rod tube. The inner sleeve 3 is preferably made of soft rubber, which increases friction with the inner wall of the fishing rod tube, making the front cap less likely to fall off. The outer sleeve 2 is made of rust-resistant metal and can be made of the same material as the inner sleeve 1. In terms of color, the outer sleeve 2 can be the same color or a complementary color as the inner sleeve 1, and the colors of the inner sleeve 1 and the outer sleeve 2 can be a single color or a polarized color to enhance the aesthetics of the fishing rod front cap.

[0019] The inner sleeve 3 is hollow cylindrical. The front side of the insert 1 is convex forward, and the insert 1 has multiple perforations 4 arranged in a ring around the central axis. The perforations 4 communicate with the inner sleeve 3, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the water inside the fishing rod can flow out through the drain hole 4 through the inner sleeve 3, thereby draining the water from the fishing rod and preventing water accumulation inside the fishing rod.

[0020] In this embodiment, the border of the insert 1 is hexagonal. To match the shape of the border, the perforations 4 are triangular, and there are six perforations 4 arranged in a triangular shape. Figure 3 The pattern shown is as follows. A connecting claw 5 is spaced between two adjacent holes 4 on the insert 1. The outer end of the connecting claw 5 is fixedly connected to the frame, and the inner end is fixedly connected to the central protrusion 6. The front surface of the connecting claw 5 is inclined, and a small inlay groove 7 is formed on the front surface of the connecting claw 5. A central inlay groove 8 is formed on the front surface of the central protrusion 6. The small inlay groove 7 and the central inlay groove 8 are used to inlay decorative items with visual effects, such as diamond-like decorations, pearl-like decorations, or colored gemstone-like decorations. The shape and number of the small inlay grooves 7 are not fixed; in this embodiment, the small inlay grooves 7 are preferably teardrop-shaped.

[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple stepped discs 9 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the central protrusion 6. The diameter of the stepped discs 9 gradually decreases from front to back to correspond to the increasingly thinner rod sections. Each stepped disc 9 has multiple slits 10 on its rear end surface, which are radially distributed and extend to the side of the stepped disc 9. The stepped discs 9 are used to block the thin rod sections contained in the fishing rod. During the water control stage of the fishing rod, the thin rod sections fall onto the stepped discs 9 by gravity, and the water inside the thin rod sections flows downward, entering from the slits 10 on the rear end surface of the stepped disc 9 and flowing out from the slits 10 on the side of the stepped disc 9 into the drain hole 4, preventing the front blockage from obstructing the drainage of accumulated water.

[0022] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. The present invention is not limited to the examples above. Changes, modifications, additions, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention are also within the protection scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described above can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0023] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects.
