Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a reel seat and a fishing rod equipped with the same. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Various fishing rods equipped with fishing rod reel seats have been known in the past.

[0003] In such a fishing rod, a fishing rod reel seat and a fishing rod grip are typically placed on the rod body, and the fishing rod reel seat has a reel leg mounting portion formed on the upper or lower side of the main body for mounting the reel legs.

[0004] As an example of such a fishing rod, Patent Document 1 discloses a butt rod 1 having a high rigidity portion X located on the butt side of the reel seat 8 and a low rigidity portion Y located on the tip side of the high rigidity portion X and having a lower rigidity than the high rigidity portion X, and even if an angler holds the butt rod 1 near the reel seat 8 and rests the butt end against his elbow or stomach, the high rigidity portion X maintains sufficient rigidity so that this portion is unlikely to bend, and the butt rod 1 can be pulled in a stable state to support the entire fishing rod.

[0005] Patent document 2 also discloses a telescopic rod in which a reel seat 4 is attached to a butt rod 2, and a fishing line guide 6 is attached to a tip side portion 1a located on the tip side of the tip rod 1, the tip side portion 1a being made more rigid than a butt side portion 1b located closer to the butt than the tip side portion 1a, the butt side portion 1b being held in a stored state within the butt rod 2 and being capable of being held in an extended state pulled out towards the tip side of the butt rod 2, and in the extended state the butt side portion 1b is easily bent when pulled by a fish.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2002-84928 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2008-263843 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Conventionally, fishing rods have been used in which the rigidity of the tip of the reel seat body is higher than the rigidity of the butt of the rod tube. In particular, in fishing rods using offset reel seats, when the rod tube does not penetrate the offset reel seat, the reel seat body is made of metal material to maintain the strength of the reel seat, or in the case of resin material, the thickness is increased to ensure strength, which increases the rigidity of the reel seat body. However, it has been found that when a load is applied to the rod tube, if the rigidity of the tip of the reel seat to which the rod tube is connected is high, stress concentration occurs in the rod tube at the tip of the reel seat, making the rod tube prone to breakage. In this regard, the butt rod of Patent Document 1 has a problem in that stress concentration occurs in the low rigidity part Y, which is located on the tip side of the high rigidity part X and has a lower rigidity than the high rigidity part X. On the other hand, the fishing rod disclosed in Patent Document 2 is merely made more rigid than the butt side portion located closer to the butt than the tip side portion, and does not solve the problem that stress is concentrated in the rod tube at the tip of the reel seat, making the rod tube prone to breakage.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a reel seat and a fishing rod equipped with the same, which can prevent stress concentration at the base of the rod tube by adjusting the bending rigidity of the tubular part and the intermediate connecting part of the reel seat even when a structure is adopted in which the position of the reel leg mounting part of the reel seat is offset in a direction that drops relative to the axis of the base rod, thereby making the base of the rod tube less likely to break even with an offset structure, and significantly increasing the durability and strength of the rod. Other objects of the present invention will become clear by referring to the entire specification. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] A reel seat according to one embodiment of the present invention is a reel seat attached to a fishing rod body, comprising: a reel leg mounting portion on which a reel leg is mounted, a fixed hood provided on the axial front or rear side of the reel leg mounting portion, a tubular portion provided on the axial rear or front side of the reel leg mounting portion, and an intermediate connecting portion that connects the tubular portion to the front or rear tubular portion in the axial direction, a movable hood provided on the axial rear or front side of the reel leg mounting portion, and a nut member provided on the outer surface of the tubular portion and capable of moving the movable hood by rotation, wherein the bending rigidity of the intermediate connecting portion of the reel seat body is set to be the same as or lower than the bending rigidity of the base portion of the fishing rod body.

[0010] In a reel seat according to one embodiment of the present invention, the bending rigidity of the intermediate connecting portion of the reel seat body relative to the bending rigidity of the base portion of the rod body in the downward direction of the vertical direction of the reel seat is in the range of 0.8 to 1.0.

[0011] In the reel seat according to one embodiment of the present invention, the bending rigidity of the lower part of the reel mounting portion of the reel seat main body is set so that the horizontal direction is four to six times greater than the vertical direction.

[0012] A fishing rod according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include any of the reel seats described above and a rod body. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the above embodiment, even if a structure is adopted in which the position of the reel leg mounting portion of the reel seat is offset in a downward direction relative to the axis of the butt rod, by adjusting the bending rigidity of the tubular portion and the intermediate connecting portion of the reel seat, it is possible to prevent stress concentration at the butt portion of the rod tube, thereby making it difficult for the butt portion to break even with an offset structure, and to provide a reel seat and a fishing rod equipped with the same that can significantly increase the durability and strength of the rod.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of a reel seat and a fishing rod according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Components common to multiple drawings are designated by the same reference numerals throughout the multiple drawings. Please note that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale for the sake of convenience.

[0016] 1 is a diagram showing one embodiment of a fishing rod according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, a fishing rod 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a rod body 2, a reel 6 attached to the rod body 2 via a reel seat 9, and a fishing line guide 10 attached to the rod body 2. In the illustrated embodiment, each of the reel seat 9 and the fishing line guide 10 corresponds to an attachment part attached to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body.

[0017] The rod body 2 is formed by connecting, for example, a butt rod 3, a middle rod 5, and a tip rod 7. These rod bodies are joined, for example, in a parallel joint. The butt rod 3, middle rod 5, and tip rod 7 can be joined by a telescoping type, a reverse parallel joint type, a spigot joint type, or any other known joint type. The rod body 2 may be formed from a single rod body.

[0018] The base rod 3, the middle rod 5, and the tip rod 7 are each formed of, for example, a tubular body made of fiber-reinforced resin. This tubular body made of fiber-reinforced resin is produced by winding a fiber-reinforced resin prepreg (prepreg sheet) in which reinforcing fibers are impregnated with a matrix resin around a core bar, and heating and curing the prepreg sheet. As the reinforcing fibers contained in the prepreg sheet, for example, carbon fiber, glass fiber, and any other known reinforcing fibers can be used. As the matrix resin contained in the prepreg sheet, a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin can be used. After the prepreg sheet is cured, the core bar is de-cored. In addition, the outer surface of the tubular body is appropriately polished. Each rod body may be formed in a solid shape.

[0019] In the illustrated embodiment, the butt rod 3, middle rod 5 and tip rod 7 are provided with a number of line guides 10 (line guides 10A-10D) that guide the fishing line that is let out from the reel 6 attached to the reel seat 9. More specifically, the butt rod 3 is provided with line guide 10A, the middle rod 5 is provided with line guide 10B, and the tip rod 7 is provided with line guide 10C. A top guide 10D is provided at the tip of the tip rod 7, but details will be omitted.

[0020] Next, the basic configuration of the reel seat main body 12 and the reel seat 9 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. In the following description, the axial direction (front-rear direction) and the up-down direction refer to the directions shown in Fig. 2, and the left-right direction (side direction) refers to the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of Fig. 2. In other words, the front refers to the tip side of the fishing rod, the rear refers to the base side, the top refers to the reel side with respect to the axis X of the butt rod (rod) when a double-bearing reel is attached, and the bottom refers to the opposite side.

[0021] The reel seat body 12 has a reel leg mounting surface 12a on which the reel leg 6a of the fishing reel 6 is mounted along its axial direction. The reel seat body 12 can be configured to have a length ranging from 150 mm to 200 mm, for example, but is not limited to this. The reel seat body 12 is slightly bulged on the opposite side of the reel leg mounting surface 12a to form a bulged portion (trigger) 12b having a curved outer surface that is easy to grip by supporting the ball of the foot or the vicinity thereof when gripped with a gripping hand. The reel seat body 12 may be configured so that a fishing rod body is joined to the rear side of the reel seat body 12.

[0022] The reel leg mounting surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 can be formed flat or substantially flat with a larger curvature than other circumferential portions (e.g., trigger 12b) adjacent to the reel leg mounting surface 12a of the reel seat body 12, and is formed to extend in the axial direction of the reel seat body 12 shown in Fig. 2. A fixed hood 14 is integrally disposed at one end (rod base side) of the reel seat body 12. One end of the reel leg mounting surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 is disposed inside the fixed hood 14.

[0023] A movable hood 13 is attached to the other end (rod tip side) of the reel seat body 12 so as to be movable in the axial direction. The fishing reel 200 is attached and fixed to the reel seat 9 by placing the reel leg 6a on the reel leg placement portion 12a, and fastening the front end side with the movable hood 13 which moves in the axial direction, with the rear end side fitted into the fixed hood 14. The reel seat 9 includes the reel seat body 12 and the movable hood 13, but may include other members.

[0024] Referring again to Fig. 2, the reel seat according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail. As shown in the figure, the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention is a reel seat attached to a fishing rod body 2, the reel seat body 12 includes a reel leg mounting portion 12a on which the reel leg 6a is mounted, a fixed hood 14 provided on the axial rear side (rod butt side) of the reel leg mounting portion 12a, a cylindrical portion 15 provided on the axial front side (rod tip side) of the reel leg mounting portion 12a and partially cut out, a movable hood 13 provided on the axial front side (rod tip side) of the reel leg mounting portion 12a, and a nut member 18 provided on the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 15 and capable of moving the movable hood 13 by rotating. 9, the tubular portion 15 has a cylindrical portion 21 and a recessed portion 22 with a portion cut out, the movable hood 13 has an engagement portion 16 provided on the inner surface of the tubular portion 15 and a hood portion 17 that accommodates at least a portion of the reel leg 6a, the nut member 18 is provided on the outer surface of the recessed portion 22 so as to be rotatable relative to the recessed portion 22, the inner surface 18a of the nut member 18 engages with the engagement portion 16 so that the movable hood 13 can be moved axially rearward (toward the rod butt) by rotation of the nut member 18, and the rod body 2 is configured so as to be insertable up to the cylindrical portion 21 of the tubular portion 15.

[0025] Next, the reel seat according to one embodiment of the present invention will be further described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. The reel seat body 12 of the reel seat 9 has a cylindrical portion 15 at the front, and a grip portion (rear grip) 23 to be grasped and held is fixed at the rear. The reel seat body 12 has an intermediate connecting portion 24 that connects the cylindrical portion 15 and the rear cylindrical portion 4b along the axial direction, and they are integrally formed. The base end side outer peripheral surface of the rod body 2 constituting the fishing rod is fixed to the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 15 by adhesion or the like, and the grip portion 23 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical protrusion 4a formed to protrude along the axial direction on the rear side of the reel seat body 12, and is configured to be flush with the surface of the rear cylindrical portion 4b. In this case, the rear cylindrical portion 4b is also a portion to be grasped and held together with the grip portion 23, and can constitute a grip. The fishing rod 1 to which the reel seat 9 is fixed may be a telescopic type, a joint type, a single rod, etc., and its configuration is not limited, and Fig. 2 shows a part of the fishing rod (a part of the rod body) and does not show the entire configuration. Also, an example is shown in which the reel seat 9 is attached to and fixed to a low-profile type dual-bearing reel (hereinafter also referred to as a reel) as a fishing reel 6.

[0026] The movable hood 13 includes an engagement portion 16 having a male thread formed thereon, and a hood portion 17 curved radially inward to accommodate at least a portion of the reel leg 6a. The hood portion 17 is disposed so as to enter an opening 8 formed below the front end face (end face of the cylindrical portion 15) of the intermediate connecting portion 24, and this opening 8 is connected to the reel leg mounting portion 12a. In other words, when the movable hood 13 moves rearward, the hood portion 17 fits into the front end portion of the reel leg 6a mounted on the reel leg mounting portion 12a within the opening 8.

[0027] The male screw of the engagement portion 16 of the movable hood 13 is screwed into the female screw formed on the inner surface 18a of the nut member 18 that is fitted onto the cylindrical portion 15 (or the recessed portion 22 of the cylindrical portion 15). That is, by rotating the nut member 18 in one direction, the movable hood 13 moves axially backward and tightens the front end side of the reel leg 6a (reel attachment, fixed state), and by rotating the nut member 18 in the other direction, the movable hood 13 moves axially forward and releases the front end side of the reel leg 6a (reel removal state). Here, the method of engaging the engagement portion 16 with the inner surface of the nut member 18 can be various conventionally known methods, and is not limited to a specific mode (screwed engagement). A circumferential groove is formed on the front end side of the cylindrical portion 15 along the circumferential direction, and by attaching a ring-shaped member (retaining ring) 20 to this portion, the nut member 18 can be restricted from slipping out forward.

[0028] A grip support portion 25 is adhered to the outer surface of the reel seat body 12 adjacent to the nut member 18, and a grip portion (front grip) 26 is fixed onto the grip support portion 25 so as to be flush with the surface of the nut member 18 which is rotated, however, the configuration may also be such that the grip portion 26 is not provided.

[0029] Next, with reference to Fig. 5, the cross-sectional structure of the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 5 shows the AA cross section of Fig. 2. As shown in the figure, in the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the rod body 2 is inserted (and the movable hood 13 is in the position of Fig. 2), the rod body 2, the movable hood (the engagement portion 16), and the reel seat main body 12 (the cylindrical portion 15 or the cylindrical portion 21) are provided in this order from the inside when viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 15 in a direction from the center axis of the cylindrical portion 15 downward (downward in the vertical direction of the paper surface of Fig. 5). As shown in the figure, the cylindrical portion 21 of the cylindrical portion 15 of the reel seat main body 12 has a circular or approximately circular outer surface, and the inner surface forms a space capable of accommodating the cylindrical rod body 2 and the engagement portion 16 formed by curving. The internal shape of the cylindrical portion 21 can be variously considered depending on the size of the rod body and the shape of the engagement portion 16, and is not limited to a specific embodiment.

[0030] In this way, in the reel seat 9 of one embodiment of the present invention, the rod body 2 can be inserted into the thicker part of the reel seat main body 12 inside the reel seat main body (the cylindrical portion 21 of the tubular portion 15 is thicker than the concave portion 22), so that even if a structure is adopted in which the position of the reel leg mounting portion of the reel seat is offset in a downward direction relative to the axis of the base rod, it is possible to provide a reel seat that is compatible with both round and low-profile double-shaft reels, is less likely to lose strength, and can significantly increase durability.

[0031] Next, with reference to Fig. 4, the cross-sectional structure of the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 4 shows the BB cross section of Fig. 2. As shown in the figure, in the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the rod body 2 is inserted (and the moving hood 13 is in the position of Fig. 2), the rod body 2, the reel seat main body 12 (the cylindrical part 15 or the concave part 22), and the nut member 18 are provided in this order from the inside when a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical part 15 is viewed in a direction from the central axis of the cylindrical part 15 toward the upward direction (the upward direction in the vertical direction of the paper of Fig. 4), and when a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical part 15 is viewed in a direction from the central axis of the cylindrical part 15 toward the downward direction (the downward direction in the vertical direction of the paper of Fig. 4), the rod body 2 and the nut member 18 are provided in this order from the inside, and a space through which the moving hood 13 passes is formed between the rod body 2 and the nut member 18. In this way, the engagement portion 16 of the movable hood 13 is made movable back and forth in the axial direction of the reel seat 9 in the cut-out portion of the recessed portion 22 of the tubular portion 15. Here, as shown in Fig. 4, the recessed portion 22 is formed in a concave shape having an opening in the downward direction, thereby reducing the weight of the tubular portion 15 of the reel seat body 12. In this way, the tubular portion 15 includes the cylindrical portion 21 and the recessed portion 22, and although it does not form a complete cylinder, it can be said to be a tubular portion 15 with a portion thereof cut out (the same applies throughout this specification).

[0032] Next, referring to FIG. 6, the structure of the movable hood 13 in the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6(a) and FIG. 6(b) are both perspective views (the former is seen from diagonally above, and the latter is seen from diagonally below). As shown in the figures, the movable hood 13 includes an engagement portion 16 and a hood portion 17, and the engagement portion 16 is formed in an arc shape or curved shape when viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 15 (cross section shown in FIG. 4). In this way, the inner surface is firmly attached to the surface of the fishing rod body 2, and the male screw portion provided on the outer surface can be screwed into the female screw portion formed on the inner surface 18a of the nut member 18. The angle of the arc of the engagement portion 16 of the movable hood 13 is in the range of 70 degrees to 90 degrees.

[0033] 6, in the movable hood 13 in the reel seat according to one embodiment of the present invention, the engagement portion 16 and the hood portion 17 are offset in the radial direction of the central axis of the reel seat 9 (the hood portion 17 is formed inward of the engagement portion 16 in the radial direction of the central axis of the reel seat 9). When the engagement portion 16 and the hood portion 17 are offset, a connecting portion 19 is provided between the engagement portion 16 and the hood portion 17, which extends perpendicularly to the central axis of the reel seat 9 and connects the engagement portion 16 and the hood portion 17. In this way, by adjusting the length of the connecting portion 19, the fishing rod body itself can be inserted up to the portion where the reel seat body has a thick-walled structure.

[0034] A reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention is a reel seat 9 attached to a fishing rod body 2, comprising a reel leg mounting portion 12a on which a reel leg 6a is mounted, a fixed hood 14 provided on the axial front or rear side of the reel leg mounting portion 12a, a tubular portion 15 provided on the axial rear or front side of the reel leg mounting portion 12a, and an intermediate connecting portion 24 connecting the tubular portion 15 to the front or rear tubular portion 4b along the axial direction, a movable hood 13 provided on the axial rear or front side of the reel leg mounting portion 12a, and a nut member 18 provided on the outer surface of the tubular portion 15 and capable of moving the movable hood by rotation, wherein the bending rigidity of the intermediate connecting portion 24 of the reel seat body 12 is set to be the same as or lower than the bending rigidity of the base portion of the fishing rod body.

[0035] According to the reel seat 9 of one embodiment of the present invention, even if a structure is adopted in which the position of the reel leg mounting portion of the reel seat is offset in a downward direction relative to the axis of the butt rod, by adjusting the bending rigidity of the tubular portion and the intermediate connecting portion of the reel seat, stress concentration at the butt portion of the rod tube can be prevented.This makes it possible to provide a reel seat that is less likely to break at the butt portion of the rod tube even with an offset structure, and which can significantly increase the durability and strength of the rod, as well as a fishing rod equipped with the same.

[0036] In the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the bending rigidity of the intermediate connecting portion 24 of the reel seat body 12 relative to the bending rigidity of the tubular portion 15 of the reel seat body 12 in the downward direction of the vertical direction of the reel seat 9 (the vertical direction shown in FIG. 2 (the vertical direction shown in FIG. 7 described below)), the same applies below) is in the range of 0.8 to 1.0. In this way, it is possible to improve the durability (or strength) of the rod.

[0037] In the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the flexural rigidity of the lower part of the reel seat body reel mounting portion is set to be 4 to 6 times as large in the horizontal direction as in the vertical direction, thereby making it possible to improve casting accuracy.

[0038] Next, the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be further described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 and the following table show the bending rigidity at each position in the extending direction of the reel seat. Position A is the position of the nut engagement portion of the cylindrical portion 15, and position B is the position of the front part of the reel stand of the cylindrical portion 15. Position C is the position of the lowest rigidity part of the lower part of the reel stand of the intermediate connecting portion 24, position D is the position of the convex part of the lower part of the reel stand of the intermediate connecting portion 24, and position E is the position of the front part of the trigger of the intermediate connecting portion 24. Position F is the position of the connecting part with the grip of the rear cylindrical portion 4b. Position X is the position of the rear end part of the base rod tube (matching member), range Y is the range between the base rod tube (matching member) and the front part of the reel stand, and position Z is the position of stress concentration of the base rod tube (base part of the rod body) of the matching member 27.

[0039] As shown in the table below, the bending stiffness (vertical direction) at positions B and F is 63.7 and 66.9 respectively, which is configured to be larger than the other positions. At position A, the bending stiffness (vertical direction) is 42.8, which is lower than positions B and F. At positions C, D and E, the bending stiffness (vertical direction) is 5.1, 7.6 and 6.4 respectively, which is lower than position B. In this way, it is possible to lower the minimum stiffness relative to the stiffness of the rod tube base, which is 6.0. Also, the bending stiffness (horizontal direction) at positions C, D and E is 27.5, 33.0 and 33.9 respectively, which is found to be 4.9 to 5.4 times higher than the vertical direction.

[0041] When fishing with a fishing rod equipped with a reel seat according to one embodiment of the present invention, a downward force is applied to the tip of the fishing reel when the fishing reel is facing upward. At this time, stress is concentrated in the range Y, which makes it prone to breakage, so it is necessary to increase the bending rigidity. On the other hand, it is known that if the bending rigidity of the entire reel seat body 12 is increased, stress is concentrated near the position Z, which makes it prone to breakage. Therefore, by lowering the bending rigidity of the reel seat body 12 and the lower side of the reel leg mounting portion 12a, it is possible to prevent stress concentration at position Z. In addition, in order to prevent the entire lower part of the reel seat from bending and stress concentration at a specific part of the lower part of the reel seat, which reduces the durability (or strength) of the reel seat, the bending rigidity is lowered at the convex part at the position D where the finger is placed and at the position E near the tip of the reel leg 6a. In addition, the minimum bending rigidity of the reel seat body 12 is set to be 80% to 100% of the bending rigidity at position Z. In addition, when casting, the fishing rod is swung in the lateral direction of the reel seat body 12, and in order to reduce shaking during casting, the lateral bending rigidity of the reel seat body 12 is increased. Specifically, by setting the bending rigidity value as described above, it is possible to improve casting accuracy.

[0042] A fishing rod 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include any one of the reel seats 9 described above and the rod body 2.

[0043] According to a fishing rod equipped with a reel seat of one embodiment of the present invention, even if a structure is adopted in which the position of the reel leg mounting portion of the reel seat is offset in a downward direction relative to the axis of the butt rod, by adjusting the bending rigidity of the tubular portion and the intermediate connecting portion of the reel seat, stress concentration at the butt portion of the rod tube can be prevented, making it possible to provide a reel seat that is less likely to break at the butt portion of the rod tube even with an offset structure, and which can significantly increase the durability and strength of the rod, and a fishing rod equipped with the same.

[0044] Here, in the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the reel seat body 12 can be made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), glass reinforced plastic (GFRP), Al or Mg. The reel seat 12 may be made of GFRTP (continuous fiber), GFRTP (discontinuous fiber), CFRTP (continuous fiber), CFRTP (discontinuous fiber) or a hybrid material. By making the reel seat 12 from such a material, it is possible to suppress an increase in weight while ensuring sufficient rigidity and strength.
