Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing reel fishing line clip device, and more particularly to a fishing reel fishing line clip device for securing the end of a fishing line wound on a fishing reel. [Background technology]

[0002] Fishing reels are typically used for a variety of types of fishing, including freshwater fishing, sea fishing, and surf fishing. By turning the handle of a fishing reel, a user can wind the line onto the spool in an even, aligned fashion. However, unless the end of the line is secured in place with a separate device, the line can become entangled on the spool or unwind from the spool, resulting in an uneven alignment. Furthermore, if the end of the line is not positioned at the top or end of the line, the line cannot be smoothly unwound, resulting in significant inconvenience during fishing. Typically, using a clip to secure the line can prevent these inconveniences.

[0003] Related prior art documents include Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 0194980 (Prior Document 1) and Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 0361073 (Prior Document 2).

[Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic diagram of a clip device according to the present invention in an applied state; [Figure 2] 1 is an exploded view showing the clip device according to the present invention; [Figure 3] 1 is a structural diagram showing an operating state of a clip device according to the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The present invention proposes a clip device for securing the end of a fishing line on a fishing reel. The invention is directed to, but is not limited to, a fishing line clip device used in the process of storing a fishing reel separately from a fishing rod. Fishing reels come in a variety of types, including baitcasting reels, spinning reels, double-ended reels, and fly reels. The gist of the present invention is to secure the end of a fishing line wound on such a fishing reel while keeping it at the top of the spool.

[0018] 1 shows the spool, level winder 11, hole 13, fishing line 15, etc. that make up a bait casting reel 10. In the present invention, directions such as up and down, front and back, etc. are referred to based on the state in which the fishing line 15 is engaged as shown in FIG.

[0019] The main body member 20 according to the present invention is formed by combining a support table 21 and a tool table 24, and has a box-like structure with an open top.

[0020] 1 and 2 show the support base 21, groove portion 22, tool holder table 24, etc. that make up the main body member 20. The main body member 20 has a structure in which the rear support base 21 is joined to the front tool holder table 24. When the support base 21 and tool holder table 24 are joined together, an attachment groove with at least an open top surface is formed. The groove portion 22 is connected to the attachment groove inside the support base 21 and is formed at approximately half the height.

[0021] According to the configuration of the present invention, the main body member 20 is made of a resin material, has a bite portion 25 on the front surface, and is joined by ultrasonic welding.

[0022] 1 and 2, the support base 21 and the bite table 24 of the main body member 20 are joined together with other components accommodated in the mounting groove. The bite portion 25 protrudes integrally from the front of the bite table 24. An opening is formed from the front of the bite table 24 to the underside of the bite portion 25. The support base 21 and the bite table 24 are preferably made of a resin material that is harmless to the human body and biodegradable. The support base 21 and the bite table 24 are preferably joined together by ultrasonic welding rather than using separate parts such as screws. Of course, forming an uneven surface at the joint between the support base 21 and the bite table 24 will improve the joining strength.

[0023] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the movable member 30 housed in the main body member 20 so as to be able to move up and down is configured to engage the fishing line at the front surface.

[0024] 1 shows the movable member 30 housed in the mounting groove of the main member 20. The movable member 30 is also made of the same resin material as the main member 20, but at least a portion of it can be made of a relatively soft material. The movable member 30 is supported by the support base 21 and the bite base 24 so that it can move up and down. The movable member 30 can cooperate with the bite portion 25 of the main member 20 to engage the fishing line 15.

[0025] According to the configuration of the present invention, the movable member 30 is characterized by having a bite portion 34 on the front surface, and supporting a pad material 35 on the bite portion 34.

[0026] 2 shows the protrusion 32, bite portion 34, pad material 35, and other components of the movable member 30. The protrusion 32 protrudes from the rear surface of the movable member 30 and is slidably received in the groove 22 of the support base 21. The groove 22 and the protrusion 32 guide the up and down movement of the movable member 30 while limiting its range of movement. The bite portion 34 protrudes integrally from the front surface of the movable member 30, facing the bite portion 25 of the main member 20. The pad material 35 is made of a rubber material with a high coefficient of friction and wear resistance, and is tightly coupled to the bite portion 25 on the bite table 24. The pad material 35 may be formed with a curved surface to increase the gripping force when engaging the fishing line 15, and may also have additional irregularities.

[0027] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the elastic member 40 is sandwiched between the main body member 20 and the movable member 30 .

[0028] 1 and 2 show a state in which the elastic member 40 is connected to the main body member 20 and the movable member 30. The elastic member 40 is housed in the housing groove 31 of the movable member 30 using a compression spring. The lower end of the elastic member 40 is in close contact with the main body member 20. When the movable member 30 is pressed, the elastic member 40 is elastically compressed, and when the pressure on the movable member 30 is released, the elastic member 40 returns to its original position.

[0029] According to the configuration of the present invention, the main body member 20 and the movable member 30 are characterized by having opposing male and female stepped portions 27 and 37 on the bite portions 25 and .

[0030] 3 shows the stepped portions 27, 37 formed on the main body member 20 and the movable member 30. The stepped portion 27 of the main body member 20 is recessed, while the stepped portion 37 of the movable member 30 is protruding. The protruding height of the stepped portion 37 of the movable member 30 is maintained higher than the pad material 35. This prevents the fishing line 15, which is engaged between the bite portion 25 and the pad material 35, from shifting forward due to an external force.

[0031] As shown in Figure 3(a), when storing the bait casting reel 10, pressing the top surface of the movable member 30 opens the upper and lower bite portions 25, 34, allowing the end of the fishing line 15 to be inserted.As shown in Figure 3(b), when the pressure on the movable member 30 is released, the elastic member 40 causes the bite portions 25, 34 to tightly grip the fishing line 15.

[0032] In the past, when clips made of metal were used, scratches were created in the holes 13 of the level winder 11, which not only prevented the fishing line from fraying and winding smoothly, but also increased the risk of the line breaking during fishing.

[0033] In a modification of the present invention, the main body member 20 further comprises a hook portion for attaching to and detaching from a fishing reel.

[0034] Although not shown, the main body member 20 can be equipped with hooks for hanging on multiple locations on the fishing reel. If the baitcasting reel 10 is stored in the state shown in Figure 3(b) or if a strong external force is applied during transportation, the clip device may shake or the fishing line may become loose. The hooks may be formed into a groove that engages with the level winder 11 or a separate resin ring to prevent unnecessary shaking of the clip device.

[0035] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, it can be said that such modifications and variations belong to the technical scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
