Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, the said Patent Document 1 is an invention called a bait reel offset handle, which is used in shallow seas, marshes, rivers, etc. such as black bass fishing, and has a different use from jigging (also called "lure fishing") used for deep fishing. Originally, it is very difficult to apply for jigging. In addition, in Patent Document 1, the offset is only slightly bent, and the distance between the handle knob of the reel, which is the fulcrum, and the rod (fishing rod) is still far apart. Therefore, when winding the reel, there is play between the rod and the handle knob. Due to this play, the burden on the person winding up the fish increases, and there are drawbacks such as the risk of hurting the wrist. Also, in deep water areas, it is difficult to tell when the fish bites, it is difficult to apply force to pull up the fish, and there are drawbacks such as the body's bracing not being effective.

[0006] Patent Document 2 and Non-Patent Document 1 also have the same problems as Patent Document 1.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a jigging handle arm structure that reduces the burden on the person winding up the fish, prevents hurting the wrist, makes it easy to tell when the fish bites, makes it easy to apply force to pull up the fish, and has good bracing when using jigging fishing gear.

[0008] As shown in Figure 2 of Patent No. 6979709, jigging uses a tackle consisting of a rod, reel, main line, leader, jig, and fishing hook. As the main line, PE line is often used, which is a thin but strong fishing line with little stretch, and its thickness and strength are expressed in numbers and kg. The higher the number, the thicker and stronger the fishing line. For example, number 2 can withstand a load of 14 kg, and number 3 can withstand a load of 20 kg. Anglers choose the number according to their preference and the fish they are fishing for. The leader is a line that is tied to the end of the main line to prevent the line from breaking due to root or tooth misalignment, and is tied to the end of the main line about 2 to 3 meters long. As the leader, fishing line with different properties from that used for the main line, such as fluorocarbon or nylon line, which is stronger and thicker than the strength of the main line, is used. The jig and fishing hook are tied to the end of the leader. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention provides a handle arm structure for jigging comprising: a handle arm attached to a reel body to which a rod is attached, one end of which is rotatably provided to the side of the rotation axis of the reel body; and a handle knob attached to the other end of the handle arm, wherein the handle arm has a first straight portion parallel to the rod, an inclined portion bent from the first straight portion at an angle so as to approach the rod and having an inclination angle of 30 degrees to 50 degrees with respect to the first straight portion, and a second straight portion extending from the inclined portion and parallel to the rod, wherein a total length of the handle arm is set to 120 mm to 150 mm, and a distance between the second straight portion and the rod is set to 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm.

[0010] It is preferable that the angle between the inclined portion and the second straight portion is set to 30 to 50°, and the width of the handle arm is set to 20 mm to 40 mm.

[0011] It is preferable that the effective length of the first straight portion is set to 25 mm to 80 mm, the length of the inclined portion is set to 50 mm to 70 mm, and the effective length of the second straight portion is set to 20 mm to 45 mm.

[0012] It is preferable that the handle arm has a height that gradually decreases from the ends of the first straight portion and the second straight portion toward the center of the inclined portion. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the present invention, the force point of the handle knob is bent inward more than in the conventional case, and the position of the force point of the handle knob is brought as close as possible to the rod, thereby reducing the above-mentioned shaking and making it possible to wind up the reel in a natural position. In the environment in which jigging is used, there are many situations where the reel is wound up for a long time, and it is also used for fishing that requires speedy winding, so the effect of being able to wind up extremely smoothly without the rod and handle knob shaking is great. Furthermore, when used for a jigging reel offshore, the effect is enormous. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a jigging handle arm structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a side view of a handle arm as a plate material before being provided with an inclination in the jigging handle arm structure according to the embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a plan view of the handle arm as an inclined member after providing an inclination in the jigging handle arm structure according to the embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 5] FIG. 11 is a plan view of a jigging handle arm structure of a comparative example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] A preferred embodiment of a jigging handle arm structure 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0016] 1 and 2 are diagrams showing a state in which a grip part 102 of a rod 101 is attached to a reel body 103 to which a jigging handle arm structure 1 of this embodiment is attached. The jigging handle arm structure 1 is attached to the reel body 103 and includes a handle arm 2 having one end rotatably provided to the side of a rotation shaft 104 of a mechanical part of the reel body 103, and a handle knob 4 attached to the other end of the handle arm 2 via a handle shaft 3.

[0017] A spool 106 is rotatably housed between both sides of the reel body 103 and is linked to the handle arm 2 via gears (not shown). The handle arm 2 is rotatable in the direction in which the fishing line is wound up, and the spool 106 can be rotated to wind the line, but rotation is restricted in the direction in which the fishing line is let out. A level winder 107 is provided in front of the reel body 103 to guide the fishing line in response to the rotation of the handle arm 2 so that the fishing line is evenly wound onto the spool 106. A mechanical brake 108 is provided on the reel body 103.

[0018] The handle arm 2 has a first straight portion 21 parallel to the rod 101, an inclined portion 22 bent at an angle from the first straight portion 21 to approach the rod 101 and having an inclination angle of 30 degrees to 50 degrees with respect to the first straight portion 21, and a second straight portion 23 extending from the inclined portion 22 and parallel to the rod 101.

[0019] The effective length from the center of the rotating shaft 104 to the center of the handle shaft 3 is defined as ET. The angle between the first straight portion 21 and the inclined portion 22 is defined as α, the angle between the second straight portion 23 and the inclined portion 22 is defined as β, and the distance between the second straight portion 23 and the rod 101 is defined as W. The point of force is defined as E.

[0020] The total length T (see FIG. 4) of the handle arm 2 is set to 120 mm to 150 mm, the effective length ET is set to 100 mm to 130 mm, and the end of the second straight portion 23 is extended away from the reel body 103 (away from the rotation axis 104). If the total length exceeds the upper limit, it is difficult to turn, and if it is below the lower limit, the first straight portion 21 and the inclined portion 22 are not long enough to cause contact with fingers or require a strong force to turn the handle arm 2. The distance W between the second straight portion 23 and the rod 101 is set to 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm. If the distance W is less than 2.5 cm, it is disadvantageous that it may come into contact with fingers gripping the grip portion 102, and if the distance W exceeds 3.5 cm, it is disadvantageous that a strong force is required to turn the handle arm 2 due to shaking. In FIG. 4, J is the width of reel body 303, which is 56 mm to 120 mm, K is the length of reel body 303, which is 55 mm to 80 mm, and the diameter L of rod 101 is 8 mm to 10 mm. For these ranges, all combinations of the above total length T of 120 mm to 150 mm, effective length ET of 100 mm to 130 mm, and spacing W of 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm are applicable.

[0021] FIG. 3 shows a metal plate material, which is bent at a specific angle with respect to the bending line to produce the handle arm 2 shown in FIG. 4. The plate material has a total length of T0, a height of H1, and a bending position of M 10 and bending position M 20 4 are formed. A first mounting hole 5 (e.g., a long hole of 5 mm in length and 8 mm in width) for mounting to the rotating shaft 104 and a second mounting hole 6 (e.g., an M6 screw hole) for mounting the handle shaft 3 are provided.

[0022] 3, the height is gradually decreased from H1 to H2 from the ends of the first straight portion 21 and the second straight portion 23 toward the center of the inclined portion 22. This has the effect of reducing the force required to wind the handle arm 2 (especially when pushing out and rotating the handle arm 2).

[0023] In FIG. 4, the total length of the handle arm 2 is T, the effective length is ET, the non-effective lengths are ET1 and ET2, the effective length of the first straight portion 21 is C, the length of the inclined portion 22 is G, the effective length of the second straight portion is S, the width is Y, and the plate thickness is TH.

[0024] The jigging handle arm structure 1 comprises a handle arm 2 axially attached to a rotation shaft 104 of a reel body 103, a handle shaft 3 perpendicular to a rod 101, and a handle knob 4 attached to the handle shaft 3. The handle arm 2 is provided with bent portions 7 and 8.

[0025] One end of the handle arm 2 is rotatably supported by a rotating shaft 104, and the other end is rotatably provided with the handle knob 4. As described above, the handle arm 2 is formed with bent portions 7 and 8, and the other end of the handle arm 2 is bent so as to be offset toward the reel body 103.

[0026] A star drag 109 is disposed on the handle arm 2 side of the reel body 103. The star drag 109 is disposed inside (on the rotation shaft 104 side) of the second straight portion 23 of the handle arm 2 so that the two do not interfere with each other. In addition, a mechanical brake 108 that adjusts the rotation of the spool 106 is provided on the handle arm 2 side of the reel body 103.

[0027] The operation during casting is similar to that of general technology, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0028] After the lure has landed on the water through a casting operation, the grip portion 102 of the rod 101 is transferred to the left hand, and the handle knob 4 is gripped with the right hand to perform handle operation.

[0029] When a fish is caught on the hook, the line is wound up onto the spool 106 while holding the grip portion 102 of the rod 101 with the left hand and operating the handle knob 4 and the level winder 107, etc.

[0030] Figure 5 shows a comparative example of a handle arm structure for jigging, and corresponding elements are numbered in the 200s, and primes are added to the letters of dimensions, etc. The symbols J, K, and L in Figure 1 are used, so they are omitted from the illustration.

[0031] In the jigging handle arm structure 1, as shown in Figs. 1 to 4, in comparison with the comparative example in Fig. 5, one end of the handle arm 2 is bent extremely at two points toward the reel body 103 side, so that when the handle knob 4 is rotated, the position of the force point E of the handle knob 4 is brought as close as possible to the rod 101, and the handle knob 4 is also extended, thereby reducing the above-mentioned shaking and making it possible to reel in the line with little force in a natural position. In the environment in which jigging is used, there are many situations in which the line is reeled in for a long time, and it is also used for fishing that requires speedy reeling, so the effect of the rod 101 and the handle arm 2 being reeled in extremely smoothly without shaking is great. In addition, when used in a jigging reel offshore, the effect is enormous. Furthermore, it is easy to judge whether or not the fish is biting, it is easy to apply force to pull up, and it is effective to brace your body. EXAMPLES

[0032] Referring to FIG. 3, the size of the handle arm 2 in the embodiment before bending is as follows: total length T0=128 mm, height H1=30 mm, height H2=6 mm (may be 6 mm to 8 mm), bending position M 10 and bending position M 20 The distance is 56 mm (it can also be 55 to 57 mm).

[0033] Referring to FIG. 4, the size of the handle arm 2 after bending is as follows: angle α = 32° (may be 30 to 50°), angle β = 32° (may be 30 to 50°), width Y = 36 mm (20 mm to 46 mm), thickness TH = 5 mm (3 mm to 6 mm), total length T of the handle arm 2 = 120 mm (120 mm to 150 mm), effective length ET = 100 mm (96 mm to 135 mm), non-effective length ET1 = 14 mm (10 mm to 16 mm), ET2 = 6 mm (5 mm to 8 mm), effective length C of the first straight portion 21 = 28 mm (25 mm to 80 mm, preferably 42 mm to 80 mm), length G of the inclined portion 22 = 56 mm (50 mm to 70 mm), effective length S of the second straight portion = 37 mm (20 mm to 45 mm, preferably 27 mm to 45 mm). The values ​​in parentheses indicate the preferred range. The effective length is the length excluding the areas of fastening parts such as bolts and nuts.

[0034] The present invention can solve multiple problems simultaneously, and has great industrial value in the fields of fishing, recreational fishing, and leisure.

[0035] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications and the like can be made without departing from the technical idea of ​​the present invention. Such modifications and equivalents are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
