Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a reel seat for fixing a fishing reel, and a fishing rod including such a reel seat. [Background technology]

[0002] In order to connect a fishing reel to the rod body of a fishing rod, a reel seat capable of fixing the reel is connected to the rod body. The reel seat can have a seat body formed in a pipe shape so that the rod body can be inserted. The seat body is connected to the rod body, and has a fixed hood for fixing one of the legs of the reel and a male screw portion formed on the other end facing the fixed hood. A movable hood for fixing the other of the legs of the reel is connected to the seat body so as to be movable in the axial direction of the rod body, and the fixed hood and the movable hood clamp the respective reel legs to fix the reel.

[0003] Referring to Fig. 1, a fishing rod (10) according to the prior art includes a reel (11) including reel legs, a reel seat (12) that holds the reel legs to fix the reel (11), and a rod body (13) that passes through the reel seat (12). The reel seat (12) includes a seat body (121) and a movable hood (122). Referring to Fig. 2, the seat body (121) includes an attachment body (121a) that holds one end of the reel legs of the reel (reel (11) in Fig. 1), a cylindrical portion (121b) through which the rod body (rod body (13) in Fig. 1) is inserted, and a grip body (121c) that is fastened to surround the outside of the cylindrical portion (121b).

[0004] 3, which is an enlarged view of region A in FIG. 2, the fixed hood (123) of the attached body (e.g., the attached body (121a) in FIG. 2) includes an opening (HP) into which one end of the reel leg is inserted, and the angle (aa) between the imaginary plane (VP) where the entrance of the opening (HP) is formed and the upper contour line (123L) of the inclined shape of the fixed hood (123) is formed to be approximately vertical. Due to this angle (aa), when one end of the reel leg is coupled to the fixed hood (123), unevenness is formed between the reel and the reel seat, which may cause a fisherman to feel a foreign object or discomfort when holding the reel seat, resulting in a poor grip.

[0005] For this reason, it is required that the unevenness between the reel leg and the reel seat be minimized so that the angler can grip the fishing rod comfortably. For example, it is required that the opening (HP) of the fixed hood (123) and the connecting part where the reel leg is connected form a continuous curved surface.

[0039] Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a reel seat (1000) according to one embodiment. Fig. 5 is a side view showing a fishing rod (2000) including the reel seat (1000) of Fig. 4 with a reel (2300) attached. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing a seat body (1100) according to one embodiment including an auxiliary plane for explaining the angle between the components of the fixed hood. Fig. 7 is a side view showing the seat body (1100) shown in Fig. 6. Please refer to Figs. 4 to 7.

[0040] The fishing rod (2000) includes a rod body (2100) having an elongated shape that can be elastically deformed during fishing. The fishing rod (2000) may include one rod body or multiple rod bodies. The rod body may be a pipe-shaped part or a cylindrical part.

[0041] The fishing rod (2000) includes a reel seat (1000) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The reel seat (1000) may be coupled to the rod body (2100). The reel seat (1000) secures and supports a reel on which a fishing line is wound. A fisherman can grip the reel seat (1000) with one hand and operate the reel with the other hand. Thus, the reel seat (1000) can function as a part for coupling the reel to the rod body of the fishing rod and as a part that the fisherman grips. The reel (2300) has a first leg (2310) and a second leg (2320) extending forward (FD) and rearward (RD), respectively. The reel seat (1000) releasably secures the first leg (2310) and the second leg (2320) of the reel so that the reel is detachably coupled to the reel seat (1000).

[0042] Referring to FIG. 5, in the fishing rod according to one embodiment, the reel (2300) may be a spinning reel, but the reel attached to the reel seat is not limited to a spinning reel. The spinning reel may be attached to the underside of the reel seat (1000). Thus, in FIGS. 4 to 7, the upper side may be one side of the reel seat to which the reel (2300) is attached. In addition, the reel seat (1000) may be configured such that a part of it moves from rear to front to fix one of the reel legs (see, for example, FIGS. 5 and 19), or such that a part of it moves from front to rear to fix one of the reel legs (see, for example, FIG. 24).

[0043] Referring to Fig. 4, the reel seat (1000) includes a seat body (1100) that functions as the main body of the reel seat (1000). An angler can grip a part of the seat body (1100). A first leg (2310) and a second leg (2320) of the reel are seated on the upper side of the seat body (1100), and the seat body (1100) fixes the first leg (2310). The reel seat (1000) includes a movable hood (1200) that fixes the second leg of the reel to the seat body (1100). The movable hood (1200) is movably connected to the seat body (1100).

[0044] In the reel seat (1000) according to one embodiment, the seat body (1100) functions to attach the reel seat (1000) to the rod body (2100) of the fishing rod and to support the reel (2300). A portion of the seat body (1100) can be gripped by the angler's fingers, and the remaining portion of the seat body (1100) can be coupled to the movable hood (1200).

[0045] 4 and 5, the seat body (1100) has a pipe shape. The seat body (1100) can be divided into a male thread portion (1131), an attachment body (1111), a cylindrical portion (1112), and a grip body (1113). The attachment body (1111) can be formed to surround the cylindrical portion (1112) in the circumferential direction (CD) of the central axis (CA). The attachment body (1111) can be gripped by the fingers of an angler. The cylindrical portion (1112) extends rearward from the attachment body (1111). The grip body (1113) is fitted to the front end of the cylindrical portion (1112) along the central axis (CA). The grip body (1113) is connected to the fishing rod body (2100). The outer circumferential surface of the grip body (1113) is formed so as not to have a step with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the attachment body (1111) within a predetermined range.

[0046] The adhesive body 1111 has a seat 1121. The seat 1121 forms a portion of the upper surface of the adhesive body 1111 (or a portion of the upper surface of the sheet body) along the central axis CA. As an example, referring to FIG. 6, the seat 1121 may include a pair of surfaces formed on the upper side of the adhesive body along the central axis CA.

[0047] The attachment body (1111) has a fixed hood part (1122) located at the front end of the mounting part (1121). The fixed hood part (1122) faces the movable hood (1200) along the central axis (CA). The fixed hood part (1122) may be formed as a wedge-shaped groove at the front end of the mounting part (1121). When the reel is attached to the seat body (1100), the first leg (2310) of the reel is inserted and fitted into the fixed hood part (1122). The fixed hood part (1122) fixes the first leg (2310) to the mounting part (1121). Referring to FIG. 6, the fixed hood part (1122) includes an opening edge part (1125) extending from the mounting part (1121) to form an opening (1130) into which the first leg (2310) of the reel is inserted. 7, the fixed hood part (1122) includes an inner surface (1124) that extends from the opening edge part (1125) toward the inside of the opening (1130) and covers the first leg. The fixed hood part (1122) includes an outer surface (1123) that extends from the opening edge part (1125) to the outside of the opening (1130) and is formed on the opposite side to the inner surface (1124). The fixed hood part (1122) includes a closed end part (1126) that is formed at the boundary where the inner surface (1124) and the seat part (1121) meet.

[0048] 4 or 5, the attachment body (1111) includes a first protrusion (1140) forming a rear end of the attachment body (1111). When an angler grips the attachment body (1111) of the seat body, the angler's palm may contact the first protrusion (1140). The first protrusion (1140) is located on the opposite side of the seating part (1121) with respect to the central axis (CA) and is formed in the circumferential direction (CD) of the central axis. The first protrusion (1140) is located below the seating part (1121) with respect to the central axis (CA). In addition, the first protrusion (1140) protrudes in the outer radial direction (OD) of the central axis (CA). In particular, the first protrusion (1140) protrudes in the outer radial direction (OD) relative to the cylindrical part (1112).

[0049] The male screw portion (1131) and the pair of guide grooves (1132) function as parts for connecting the movable hood (1200) to the seat body (1100). The male screw portion (1131) has a threaded shape in a predetermined range, and has a non-threaded shape formed on the outer periphery of the male screw portion (1131) forward of the thread end. The male screw portion (1131) is connected to the movable hood (1200). The pair of guide grooves (1132) extend from the rear end of the seat body along the central axis (CA) through the male screw (1131) to the attachment body (1111). The pair of guide grooves (1132) guide the movement of the movable hood (1200) along the central axis (CA). The pair of guide grooves (1132) face each other with respect to the central axis (CA). The cylindrical portion (1112) includes a first bore (1114) that can be connected to the rod body (2100). The first bore 1114 may be formed to surround the cylindrical outer periphery of the rod 2100. The first bore 1114 may have a constant circumference along the central axis CA. The radius of the first bore 1114 (e.g., radius 1114R in FIG. 15) may be defined as the distance from the central axis CA to the inner periphery of the first bore 1114.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 4, the grip body (1113) includes a second bore (1116), a third bore (1117), and a cutout edge (1118). The second bore (1116) is fitted to the cylindrical portion (1112) along the central axis (CA). The second bore (1116) may be formed such that a portion of the grip body (1113) surrounding the second bore (1116) is cut out. The third bore (1117) is coupled to the rod body (2100) of the fishing rod (2000) along the central axis (CA). The third bore (1117) communicates with the second bore (1116). The cutout edge (1118) corresponds to a corner that is left when a portion of the outer circumferential surface surrounding the second bore (1116) is cut out. The cutout edge (1118) is formed to expose the second bore (1116).

[0051] Referring to FIG. 4, the movable hood (1200) is movably coupled to the seat body (1100) along the central axis (CA). In particular, the movable hood (1200) is movably coupled to the male thread portion (1131). The movable hood (1200) can be moved along the male thread portion (1131) by a screw action. The movable hood (1200) includes a nut (1211) that causes a screw action, and a movable body (1212) that can be moved along the central axis (CA) by the nut (1211). The nut (1211) and the movable body (1212) are formed in a ring shape, and the male thread portion (1131) penetrates the nut (1211) and the movable body (1212). The nut (1211) is screwed to the male thread portion (1131) of the cylindrical portion (1112) so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction (CD) of the central axis (CA). The nut (1211) has a female thread on its inner circumference. The female thread and the male thread portion (1131) mesh with each other, and the nut (1211) is movably coupled to the cylindrical portion (1112) by a threading action. As the nut (1211) rotates in the circumferential direction (CD), the threading action between the female thread and the male thread portion (1131) allows the nut (1211) to move backwards or forwards as it rotates.

[0052] The nut (1211) is connected to the movable body (1212) so as to be rotatable relative to the reel in the circumferential direction (CD). The movable body (1212) has a shape that allows it to cover and press against the second leg of the reel. The movable body (1212) is movable in the axial direction (AD) along the central axis (CA) but does not rotate in the circumferential direction (CD). In other words, the movable body (1212) is guided by the guide groove (1132) of the male thread portion (1131) so as to move only along the central axis (CA).

[0053] 4 and 5, the movable body 1212 includes a movable hood portion 1240 and a housing portion 1250. The movable hood portion 1240 may form a portion of the upper and front portion of the movable body 1212. The housing portion 1250 is located opposite the movable hood portion 1240 in the vertical direction (VD). The housing portion 1250 may form a portion of the lower and front portion of the movable body 1212.

[0054] The movable hood part (1240) may be formed in a shape that extends forward and covers the second leg (2320) of the reel (2300). The movable hood part (1240) may be formed in a shape that roughly corresponds to a shape obtained by dividing a truncated cone in half in the axial direction. As the movable body (1212) is moved to the fixed hood part (1122) by the nut (1211), the movable hood part (1240) presses and fixes the second leg against the seat part (1121) of the attachment body (1111).

[0055] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the movable body (1212) may further include a reinforcing cover (1270) engaged with the movable hood portion (1240) to reinforce the movable hood portion (1240). The reinforcing cover (1270) is configured to cover the outer surface of the movable hood portion (1240) of the movable hood (1200) along the central axis (CA) and in the circumferential direction (CD) of the central axis. In this way, the reinforcing cover (1270) can prevent deformation of the movable hood portion (1240) of the movable hood. The reinforcing cover (1270) may be made of a metal material. As an example, the metal material of the reinforcing cover may be titanium, which is lightweight and has high strength. As another example, the metal material of the reinforcing cover may be stainless steel or aluminum, which has a decorative property. Since the reinforcing cover (1270) made of a metal material covers the movable hood portion (1240), the movable hood (1200) may have a decorative property and a luxurious feel. The reinforcing cover 1270 may be formed by pressing a metal plate material. The reinforcing cover 1270 made of a metal material may have elasticity and rigidity. Therefore, the reinforcing cover 1270 may be connected to the movable hood portion 1240 by pressing the reinforcing cover 1270 toward the movable hood portion 1240 to snap-connect the reinforcing cover 1270 to the movable hood portion 1240.

[0056] The receiving portion (1250) is located on the opposite side of the movable hood portion (1240) in the vertical direction (VD), for example, under the movable hood portion (1240). Assuming that the movable body (1212) has a truncated cone shape, the receiving portion (1250) may be formed in a shape corresponding to the truncated cone shape cut out so that the movable hood portion (1240) remains. Thus, the receiving portion (1250) may be formed as a space under the movable hood portion (1240). In this manner, the movable hood (1200) includes the movable hood portion (1240) which presses and fixes the second leg to the seating portion (1121), and the receiving portion (1250) which is located under the movable hood portion (1240) in the vertical direction (VD) and is formed as a space under the movable hood portion (1240). The movable hood portion (1240) and the receiving portion (1250) have a common edge in the circumferential direction (CD).

[0057] 4, the first protrusion (1140) of the seat body and the receiving portion (1250) of the movable body have complementary shapes. As the movable hood (1200) moves toward the fixed hood portion (1122) to fix the second leg, the movable hood portion (1240) of the movable body (1212) crosses the first protrusion (1140) along the central axis (CA), and the first protrusion (1140) is received in the receiving portion (1250). Thus, when the movable hood (1200) fixes the second leg, a part of the movable hood (e.g., the movable hood portion (1240)) and a part of the seat body (e.g., the first protrusion (1140)) are located in the vertical direction (VD), and the part of the movable hood is located above the first protrusion (1140).

[0058] The first protrusion (1140) faces the receiving portion (1250) along the central axis (CA). The receiving portion (1250) is recessed with respect to the first protrusion (1140). Therefore, when the movable hood (1200) moves toward the fixed hood portion (1122) and presses and fixes the second leg to the seating portion (1121), the first protrusion (1140) is inserted and fitted into the receiving portion (1250), and the receiving portion (1250) can receive the first protrusion (1140).

[0059] According to one embodiment, the seat body (1100) of the reel seat is integrally formed by injection molding. The seat body (1100) may be integrally molded from a thermoplastic resin so that the grip body (1113) is fitted to the cylindrical portion (1112). As an example, the seat body (1100) may be integrally formed using a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin. The carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin has a lower density and a higher tensile strength than the commonly used glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin. As an example, a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin having a grade of PA12-CF30 (L7) is used as a material constituting the seat body (1100). In terms of material properties of such a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, the tensile strength may be 270 MPa, the flexural strength may be 340 MPa, the flexural modulus may be 17,000 MPa, and the Charpy notch impact strength may be 22 kJ / m 2 the deflection temperature under load may be 178°C and the density may be 1.16g / cm 3 It could be.

[0060] As a comparative example, the seat body of the reel seat may be integrally formed using glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin having a grade of PA66-GF30. The material properties of such glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin include a tensile strength of 140 MPa, a bending strength of 215 MPa, a bending modulus of elasticity of 6,800 MPa, and a Charpy notch impact strength of 16 kJ / m 2 the deflection temperature under load may be 262°C and the density may be 1.37g / cm 3 The sheet body of the reel seat of the embodiment is made of a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, which has a lower density and a higher tensile strength than a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin. Therefore, the sheet body of the embodiment can have a thinner wall at the portion that contacts the angler's fingers, and can be made lighter.

[0061] 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the seating portion (1121) may be formed flat to stably seat the first and second legs of the reel. Specifically, the seating portion (1121) is formed within the seating surface (1121P). The opening edge portion (1125) is formed in an inverted U-shape based on the seating portion (1121). The opening edge portion (1125) is formed to surround at least a portion of the opening (1130). The opening edge portion (1125) is formed within a first imaginary plane (VP1). The opening edge portion (1125) is formed to be inclined upward from the seating portion (1121). The first imaginary plane (VP1) on which the opening edge portion (1125) is formed forms a predetermined angle (a2) with the seating surface (1121P). The first imaginary plane (VP1) meets the seating surface (1121P) at an acute angle. The first imaginary plane (VP1) is formed to be inclined at an angle of 15 to 25 degrees with respect to the mounting surface (1121P). Preferably, the first imaginary plane (VP1) is formed to be inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the mounting surface (1121P). By forming the first imaginary plane (VP1) to be inclined within this angle range with respect to the mounting surface (1121P), the foreign body sensation felt by the angler's fingers can be reduced, thereby improving the grip feeling.

[0062] A second imaginary plane (VP2) is formed perpendicular to the seating surface (1121P) along the central axis (CA). An inner surface (1124) extending from the opening edge portion (1125) toward the seating portion (1121) toward the inside of the opening (1130) is bisected by the second imaginary plane (VP2). The inner surface (1124) is bisected by a first imaginary line (L1) where the second imaginary plane (VP2) and the inner surface (1124) intersect. The first imaginary line (L1) has a predetermined angle (a1) with respect to the first imaginary plane (VP1). That is, the first imaginary line (L1) is formed to be inclined with respect to the first imaginary plane (VP1). The first imaginary line (L1) and the first imaginary plane (VP1) meet forming an obtuse angle.

[0063] Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing a sheet body (1100) according to one embodiment for explaining an opening edge portion. Fig. 9 is a plan view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is a side view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing a sheet body (1100) according to one embodiment for explaining an inclined wall. Fig. 12 is a front view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 11. Please refer to Figs. 8 to 12.

[0064] 8 and 9, the opening edge portion (1125) has a first opening edge portion (1125a). The first opening edge portion (1125a) is formed in a pair. The pair of first opening edge portions (1125a) are formed spaced apart from each other based on the central axis (CA). The pair of first opening edge portions (1125a) extend on the first imaginary plane (VP1) from one end that meets the seating portion (1121) in a direction perpendicular to the line where the seating surface (1121P) meets the first imaginary plane (VP1). Each of the pair of first opening edge portions (1125a) has a first inner edge line (EL1) formed along the line where the first opening edge portion (1125a) meets the inner surface (1124). The first inner edge line (EL1) has a straight line shape.

[0065] The opening edge portion (1125) has a second opening edge portion (1125b). The second opening edge portion (1125b) is formed to connect a pair of first opening edge portions (1125a). The second opening edge portion (1125b) is connected to the other end formed on the opposite side of the one end of each of the first opening edge portions (1125a). The second opening edge portion (1125b) has a curved shape on the first virtual plane (VP1). The second opening edge portion (1125b) may have a semicircular shape. The second opening edge portion (1125b) has a second inner edge line (EL2) formed along a line where the second opening edge portion (1125b) meets the inner surface (1124). The second inner edge line (EL2) has a curved shape. When the reel seat is viewed in a plan view, the second inner edge line (EL2) is formed to surround a part of the central axis (CA). For example, the second inner edge line (EL2) has a semicircular shape surrounding a portion of the central axis (CA). The second inner edge line (EL2) is connected to the first inner edge line (EL1) at an intersection point (1125c). The semicircular shape of the second inner edge line (EL2) is tangent to the pair of first inner edge lines (EL1) at the intersection point (1125c). The intersection points (1125c) are formed in pairs. Specifically, the first inner edge line (EL1) and the second inner edge line (EL2) are continuously connected. The second inner edge line (EL2) has a midpoint (1125p) that bisects the length of the second inner edge line (EL2).

[0066] 9, the edge width (EW) is limited to the length of the second virtual line (L2) connecting the pair of intersections (1125c). The edge depth (ED) is limited to the length of the third virtual line (L3) connecting the midpoint of the second virtual line (L2) connecting the pair of intersections (1125c) to the midpoint (1125p) of the second inner edge line (EL2). The edge depth (ED) is the distance from the second virtual line (L2) connecting the pair of intersections (1125c) to the midpoint (1125p) of the second inner edge line (EL2). The edge depth (ED) is 0.45 to 0.55 times the edge width (EW). Preferably, the edge depth (ED) is 0.5 times the edge width (EW). By having the edge depth (ED) be within the above-mentioned range relative to the edge width (EW), the stress felt by the angler's fingers when gripping the reel seat can be reduced, thereby improving the grip feeling.

[0067] 10, the sum of the length (L4) of one of the pair of first opening edge portions (1125a) and the length (L5) of the second opening edge portion (1125b) on the side view of the reel seat is longer than the length of the first virtual line (L1). That is, the length of the opening edge portion (1125) on the side view of the reel seat is longer than the length of the first virtual line (L1).

[0068] 9 to 12, the fixed hood portion (1122) includes an inclined wall (1127) formed between each of the pair of first opening edge portions (1125a) and the seating portion (1121). The inclined wall (1127) has an oblique side (1127a) including one of the pair of first inner edge lines (EL1). The inclined wall (1127) has a bottom side (1127b) formed at the boundary between the fixed hood portion (1122) and the seating portion (1121). The inclined wall (1127) has a certain thickness (ww). Preferably, the thickness (ww) of the inclined wall (1127) may be in the range of 2 mm to 3 mm. More preferably, the thickness (ww) of the inclined wall (1127) may be 2.5 mm. The inclined wall (1127) has the above-mentioned thickness (ww), thereby ensuring sufficient tensile strength and providing a reel seat with a sharp impression. In addition, by reducing the thickness of the fixed hood portion (1122), when the first leg of the reel is inserted into the opening (1130), the step between the fixed hood portion (1122) and the first leg is reduced, improving the grip felt by the fingers of the angler holding the reel seat.

[0069] Fig. 13 is a side view of a portion of a fishing rod including a reel seat according to one embodiment. Fig. 14 is a side view of a seat body (1100) of the reel seat shown in Fig. 13. Fig. 15 is a front view of the reel seat shown in Fig. 13. The following description will refer to Figs. 13 to 15.

[0070] As described above, the seat body (1100) may include the male thread portion (1131), the attachment body (1111), the cylindrical portion (1112), and the grip body (1113). The attachment body (1111) includes a first protruding portion (1140) forming a rear end portion of the attachment body (1111). The attachment body (1111) further includes a second protruding portion (1150) forming a side end portion and a front end portion of the attachment body (1111). The second protruding portion (1150) extends from the first protruding portion (1140) along the central axis (CA). The second protruding portion (1150) forms the fixed hood portion (1122) together with the seating portion (1121). The first protruding portion (1140) has a first outer circumferential surface (1141). The first protruding portion (1140) has a first radius (1141R). The first radius (1141R) is defined as the distance from the central axis (CA) to the first outer circumferential surface (1141). The radius (1114R) of the first bore (e.g., the first bore (1114) in FIG. 12) may be in the range of 0.59 to 0.71 times the first radius (1141R). Preferably, the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) may be 0.65 times the first radius (1141R). The above ratio of the first radius (1141R) to the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) may provide the reel seat with the greatest grip when considering the range and length ratio of the typical palm and fingers of an angler.

[0071] The cutout edge (1118) of the grip body (1113) is formed to be complementary to the edges of the first protrusion (1140) and the second protrusion (1150) of the attachment body (1111). The cutout edge (1118) of the grip body (1113) is formed by cutting out a portion of the grip body surrounding the second bore (e.g., the second bore (1116) in FIG. 4) in a shape complementary to the edges of the first protrusion (1140) and the second protrusion (1150), and is formed to expose the second bore (1116). The grip body (1113) has a second outer circumferential surface (1115). The grip body (1113) has a second radius (1115R). The second radius (1115R) is defined as the distance from the central axis (CA) to the second outer circumferential surface (1115). The second radius (1115R) is the same as the first radius (1141R). Specifically, the radius (1114R) of the first bore (e.g., the first bore (1114) in FIG. 12) may be in the range of 0.59 to 0.71 times the second radius (1115R). Preferably, the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) may be 0.65 times the second radius (1115R). The second radius (1115R) may be formed within the range of 10.0 mm to 14.5 mm. When the second radius (1115R) is in the above range, a reel seat having a thickness that is most easily gripped based on the average palm and finger length of an angler may be designed. On the premise that the second radius (1115R) is formed within the range of 10.0 mm to 14.5 mm, when the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 6.0 mm to 8.0 mm, it is preferable that the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is in the range of 0.59 to 0.65 times the second radius (1115R), and when the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 8.0 mm to 10.0 mm, it is preferable that the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is in the range of 0.65 to 0.71 times the second radius (1115R).

[0072] Fig. 16 is a plan view for explaining the length ratio between components of a sheet body (1100) according to one embodiment. Fig. 17 is a side view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 16. Fig. 18 is a front view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 16. Please refer to Figs. 16 to 18.

[0073] As described above with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the opening edge portion (1125) has a pair of first opening edge portions (1125a) and a second opening edge portion (1125b) connecting the pair of first opening edge portions (1125a). Each of the pair of first opening edge portions (1125a) has a first inner edge line (EL1) formed along a line where the first opening edge portion (1125a) meets an inner surface (e.g., inner surface (1124) in FIG. 10). The second opening edge portion (1125b) has a second inner edge line (EL2) formed along a line where the second opening edge portion (1125b) meets an inner surface (1124). The semicircular shape of the second inner edge line (EL2) is tangent to the pair of first inner edge lines (EL1) at an intersection point (1125c). The intersection points (1125c) are formed in pairs. The edge width (EW) is limited to the length of the second virtual line (L2) connecting the pair of intersections (1125c). As described above with reference to Figs. 13 to 15, the first protrusion (1140) has a first outer circumferential surface (1141). The first protrusion (1140) has a first radius (1141R). The first radius (1141R) is defined as the distance from the central axis (CA) to the first outer circumferential surface (1141). The edge width (EW) may be in the range of 1.18 to 1.42 times the first radius (1141R). Preferably, the edge width (EW) may be 1.3 times the first radius (1141R).

[0074] Considering the thickness of the reel legs of commonly used spinning reels, the edge width (EW) can be formed within the range of 14.5 mm to 17.0 mm. A reel to be used with a fishing rod is selected based on the radius (e.g., radius (1114R) in FIG. 14) of the first bore (e.g., first bore (1114) in FIG. 12). Therefore, under the premise that the edge width (EW) is formed within the range of 14.5 mm to 17.0 mm, when the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 6.0 to 8.0 mm, it is preferable that the edge width (EW) be in the range of 1.30 to 1.42 times the first radius (1141R), and when the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 8.0 mm to 10.0 mm, it is preferable that the edge width (EW) be in the range of 1.18 to 1.30 times the first radius (1141R).

[0075] 16 to 18, the fixed hood portion (1122) includes an inclined wall (1127) formed between each first opening edge portion (1125a) and the seating portion (1121). The inclined wall (1127) has a certain height (1127H). The height (1127H) of the inclined wall (1127) is limited to the distance from the seating portion (1121) to the intersection point (1125c). The height (1127H) of the inclined wall (1127) may be in the range of 0.19 to 0.27 times the first radius (1141R).

[0076] In order to design the height (1127H) of the inclined wall (1127) to approximate the height of the reel legs of a commonly used spinning reel, the height (1127H) may be formed within the range of 2.1 mm to 3.6 mm. A reel used with a fishing rod is selected based on the radius (e.g., radius (1114R) in FIG. 14) of the first bore (e.g., first bore (1114) in FIG. 12). Therefore, under the premise that the height (1127H) of the inclined wall (1127) is formed within the range of 2.1 mm to 3.6 mm, when the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 6.0 mm to 8.0 mm, it is preferable that the height (1127H) is in the range of 2.1 mm to 2.3 mm or in the range of 0.19 to 0.21 times the first radius (1141R), and when the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 8.0 mm to 10.0 mm, it is preferable that the height (1127H) is in the range of 3.3 mm to 3.6 mm or in the range of 0.25 to 0.27 times the first radius (1141R).

[0077] Fig. 19 is a side view of a portion of a fishing rod according to an embodiment, showing an example of an angler gripping a reel seat with a reel attached to the reel seat according to an embodiment. Fig. 20 is a bottom view of a portion of the fishing rod shown in Fig. 19. Fig. 21 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 20-20 in Fig. 19. Please refer to Figs. 19 to 21.

[0078] In one embodiment of the reel seat, the length ratio and / or size ratio between each of the components included in the reel seat is designed to be within the above-mentioned range, thereby reducing the step between the first leg (2310) and the fixed hood part (1122) of the attachment body (1111). As a result, the fingers (e.g., the index finger of the angler in Figs. 19 to 21) gripping the fixed hood part (1122) of the reel seat and the first leg (2310) of the reel (2300) can naturally grip the reel seat, thereby allowing the angler to maintain a comfortable grip while fishing. The angler's thumb is positioned on the outer circumferential surface of the grip body (1113), which supports a more natural grip on the reel seat (1000). Next, referring to Fig. 21, the inclined wall (1127) of the fixed hood part (1122) may have a curved outer surface so as to be continuous with the rounded outer circumferential surface of the grip body (1113). This provides an improved grip for the angler while holding the reel seat (1000).

[0079] Fig. 22 is a side view of a seat body (1100') according to another embodiment. Fig. 23 is a front view of the seat body (1100') shown in Fig. 22. Please refer to Figs. 22 and 23.

[0080] The seat body (1100') includes all the same components as those included in the seat body (1100) according to the embodiment described above with reference to FIGS. 4 to 21, except for the components described below. The seat body (1100') has an attached body (1111'). The attached body (1111') includes a first protruding portion (1140') forming a front end portion of the attached body (1111'). When an angler grips the attached body (1111') of the seat body, the angler's palm may come into contact with the first protruding portion (1140'). The first protruding portion (1140') is formed in a circumferential direction (CD) of the central axis (CA). The first protruding portion (1140') has a first outer circumferential surface (1141'). The first protruding portion (1140') has a first radius (1141R'). The first radius (1141R') is defined as the distance from the central axis (CA) to the first outer circumferential surface (1141'). The attachment body (1111') further includes a pair of inclined protrusions (1144). The pair of inclined protrusions (1144) are located on the opposite side of the first protrusion (1140) with respect to the central axis (CA). The pair of inclined protrusions (1144) are disposed adjacent to the boundary of the movable hood part (e.g., movable hood part (1240) in FIG. 4) of the movable hood (e.g., movable hood (1200) in FIG. 4). The pair of inclined protrusions (1144) are formed to protrude upward from the seating part (1121') (e.g., seating part (1121) in FIG. 4). Each of the pair of inclined protrusions (1144) has an inclined protrusion height (1144H). The height (1144H) of the inclined protrusion is limited to the distance from the seat (1121') to the apex of each inclined protrusion (1144). The height (1144H) of the inclined protrusion may be in the range of 0.06 to 0.10 times the first radius (1141R'). In this case, it is preferable that the radius (1114R') of the first bore (1114') is formed in the range of 6.0 mm to 10.0 mm. FIG. 24 is a side view of a part of a fishing rod according to an embodiment, showing an example of a fisherman gripping a reel seat with a reel attached to the reel seat having a seat body according to another embodiment. Please refer to FIG. 24.

[0081] The reel seat (1000') according to another embodiment shown in Fig. 24 is a so-called down lock type reel seat in which the movable hood portion (1240') is disposed on the front side of the reel seat. The orientation of the components included in the reel seat (1000') can be understood by reversing the front-to-back orientation of the components of the reel seat according to the above-mentioned embodiment. By designing the length ratio and / or dimensional ratio between each component included in the reel seat (1000') to be within the above-mentioned range, the step between the leg of the reel (2300) and the movable hood portion (1240') and the inclined protrusion portion (1144) of the attached body (1111') can be reduced. This allows the finger (e.g., the angler's index finger in FIG. 24) that grips the movable hood portion (1240') of the reel seat, the inclined protrusion portion (1144) of the attachment body (1111'), and the leg of the reel (2300) to naturally grip the reel seat, thereby enabling the angler to maintain a comfortable grip while fishing.
