Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing line guide for guiding a fishing line. [Background technology]

[0002] The fishing line guide 101 has an attachment leg 103 attached to the rod body 102. The attachment leg 103 extends along the axial direction of the rod body 102 and is fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 102, for example, as shown in FIG. 9. When a fish is hooked, the rod body 102 bends. FIG. 10 schematically shows the rod body 102 in a bent state. When the rod body 102 is bent in this manner, the attachment leg 103 has difficulty following the bending of the rod body 102. In other words, the attachment leg 103 is in a tense state. As a result, the tip of the attachment leg 103 may come into contact with and scratch the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 102, or may even pierce and damage the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 102. Even if such damage is small, the surface paint may peel off from the damaged area, or the rod body 102 may break from the damaged area. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] An object of the present invention is to suppress damage to the rod body. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A fishing line guide according to a first aspect of the present invention is attached to the rod body of a fishing rod. The fishing line guide includes a guide portion and a first attachment leg portion. The guide portion guides the fishing line. The first attachment leg portion has a first base end portion and a first tip end portion in the axial direction of the rod body. The first attachment leg portion extends in the axial direction of the rod body. The first attachment leg portion is attached to the rod body. The first attachment leg portion has a first relaxation portion at the first tip end portion. The first relaxation portion relieves the first tip end from digging into the rod body when the rod body is bent. The first base end portion is the end of the first attachment leg portion that is closer to the guide portion than the end of the first attachment leg portion in the axial direction of the rod body. The first tip end portion is the end of the first attachment leg portion that is farther from the guide portion than the end of the first attachment leg portion in the axial direction of the rod body.

[0006] According to this configuration, the first absorbing portion is provided at the first tip of the first mounting leg, so when the rod body is bent, stress concentration is less likely to occur in the rod body at the first tip of the first mounting leg.

[0007] In the fishing line guide of the second aspect according to the first aspect of the present invention, the first relaxation portion has a first separation surface. The first attachment leg has a first abutment surface. The first abutment surface abuts against the rod body. The first separation surface is provided radially outward of the rod body from the first abutment surface. The first separation surface forms a first gap between the rod body and the first attachment leg. According to this configuration, at the first tip end of the first attachment leg, the first separation surface is separated radially outward from the rod body. Therefore, when the rod body is bent, the first tip end of the first attachment leg is less likely to come into contact with the rod body. Therefore, damage to the rod body can be easily prevented. An adhesive may be interposed in the first gap between the first separation surface and the rod body.

[0008] In the fishing line guide of the third aspect according to the second aspect of the present invention, the first separating surface widens the first gap from the first base end side toward the first tip end side. With this configuration, at the first tip end of the first mounting leg, the first separating surface moves away radially outward from the rod body from the first base end side toward the first tip end side. Therefore, even if the rod body bends significantly, the first tip end of the first mounting leg is less likely to come into contact with the rod body, and damage to the rod body is more reliably prevented.

[0009] In a fishing line guide of a fourth aspect according to the second or third aspect of the present invention, the first attachment leg has a first leg main portion and a first bent portion. The first leg main portion extends in the axial direction of the rod body. The first bent portion is provided at the first tip portion and bends radially outward of the rod body relative to the first leg main portion. The first separating surface is provided at the first bent portion. With this configuration, the first separating surface is provided at the first bent portion, making it easy to provide the first separating surface. Furthermore, since the first bent portion is provided at the first tip portion, when the first attachment leg is fixed to the rod body with the wound line, the first bent portion functions as a stopper for the wound line. This makes it less likely that the first attachment leg will shift position from the rod body.

[0010] In the fishing line guide of a fifth aspect according to the first aspect of the present invention, the first relaxation section has a branched section. The branched section branches in the circumferential direction of the rod body from the first base end side toward the first tip end side. With this configuration, when the rod body bends, the branched section expands in the circumferential direction of the rod body in response to the bending of the rod body. Therefore, the first tip end of the first attachment leg is less likely to dig into the rod body, preventing damage to the rod body.

[0011] A fishing line guide according to a sixth aspect of the present invention, which is in accordance with any one of the first to fifth aspects, further includes a second attachment leg. The second attachment leg has a second base end and a second tip end in the axial direction of the rod body. The second attachment leg extends toward the opposite side of the axial direction of the rod body from the first attachment leg. The second attachment leg is attached to the rod body. The second tip end of the second attachment leg has a second buffer portion that buffers the second tip end from biting into the rod body when the rod body is bent. With this configuration, stress concentration is less likely to occur in the rod body at the first tip end of the first attachment leg and the second tip end of the second attachment leg when the rod body is bent. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] As described above, when the rod body is bent, the first tip of the first mounting leg is less likely to dig into the rod body, which effectively prevents damage to the rod body that is likely to occur at the first tip of the first mounting leg when the rod body is bent.

[0014] A fishing line guide and a fishing rod according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. The fishing line guide 1 is fixed at a predetermined position on the outer periphery of the rod body 2. The fishing line guide 1 is a so-called outer guide, and is immovably attached to the outer periphery of the rod body 2, for example, by a spool 3 (see FIG. 3). The fishing line guide 1 can be attached to various fishing rods to which a fishing reel can be attached. Examples of such reels include spinning reels and dual-bearing reels. In a fishing rod to which a spinning reel is attached, the fishing line guide 1 is located below the rod body 2 during use, while in a fishing rod to which a dual-bearing reel is attached, the fishing line guide 1 is located above the rod body 2 during use. The fishing line guide 1 of this embodiment is suitable for a fishing rod to which a spinning reel is attached. However, for convenience of explanation, FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 7 show the fishing line guide 1 located above the rod body 2.

[0015] The rod body 2 is a so-called blank, and is made of fiber-reinforced resin. The rod body 2 is made up of one or more rod bodies. The rod body 2 may be cylindrical, i.e., hollow, or may be solid, but the fishing line guide 1 of this embodiment is particularly effective when the rod body 2 is hollow. Note that multiple fishing line guides 1 are attached to the rod body 2 at intervals in the axial direction of the rod body 2, and the fishing line guide 1 of this embodiment is the fishing line guide 1 located closest to the butt of the multiple fishing line guides 1 attached to the fishing rod.

[0016] The axial direction of the rod body 2 is the front-to-rear direction, with the rod tip side being the front side indicated by arrow X1 in the drawing, and the rod butt side being the rear side indicated by arrow X2 in the drawing.

[0017] The fishing line guide 1 comprises a guide section 10 that guides the fishing line, a first mounting leg section 11 and a second mounting leg section 12 that are attached to the rod body 2, a first support leg section 13 that connects the guide section 10 and the first mounting leg section 11, and a second support leg section 14 that connects the guide section 10 and the second mounting leg section 12.

[0018] The fishing line guide 1 is composed of two components: a guide ring 5 and a guide frame 6. The guide ring 5 guides the fishing line. The guide ring 5 is annular, and the fishing line passes through its radially inner side. The guide ring 5 guides the fishing line with its inner peripheral surface. The guide frame 6 holds the guide ring 5 and is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the fishing rod body 2.

[0019] The guide frame 6 is preferably made of metal, and preferably consists of a single metal plate. Therefore, the guide frame 6 is preferably composed of a single member. The guide frame 6 is formed by punching a single metal plate into a predetermined shape and bending the flat metal plate punched into the predetermined shape. The metal plate used has a constant thickness, for example, about 1 mm. The material is, for example, stainless steel or titanium (titanium alloy).

[0020] The guide frame 6 includes an annular holding portion 15 that holds a guide ring 5, a first support leg 13 extending from the holding portion 15, a first mounting leg 11 extending from the first support leg 13, a second support leg 14 extending from the holding portion 15, and a second mounting leg 12 extending from the second support leg 14. The holding portion 15 holds the guide ring 5 and, together with the guide ring 5, constitutes a guide portion 10. Note that, although the guide portion 10 includes the guide ring 5 in this embodiment, the guide portion 10 may not necessarily include the guide ring 5. In other words, the holding portion 15 may directly guide the fishing line.

[0021] The first mounting leg 11 and the second mounting leg 12 are both attached to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2. The first mounting leg 11 and the second mounting leg 12 are spaced apart from each other in the front-to-rear direction. Both the first mounting leg 11 and the second mounting leg 12 extend along the front-to-rear direction. Either of the first mounting leg 11 or the second mounting leg 12 may be on the rod tip side. That is, one of the first mounting leg 11 and the second mounting leg 12 faces the rod tip side, and the other faces the rod butt side. In this embodiment, a case is described in which the first mounting leg 11 faces the rod butt side and the second mounting leg 12 faces the rod tip side, but the opposite is also possible. The first mounting leg 11 extends rearward relative to the holding part 15, and the second mounting leg 12 extends forward relative to the holding part 15.

[0022] The first support leg 13 extends rearward and downward from the holding portion 15. The first support leg 13 is connected to the first mounting leg 11. The first support leg 13 connects the holding portion 15 and the first mounting leg 11, and supports the holding portion 15. The first support leg 13 extends at an angle from the holding portion 15 to the first mounting leg 11.

[0023] The first mounting leg 11 is bent rearward relative to the first support leg 13. The first mounting leg 11 extends rearward from the first support leg 13. The first mounting leg 11 has a first base end 20 which is a connected end connected to the first support leg 13, and a first tip end 21 which is a free end on the opposite side in the front-to-rear direction from the first base end 20. In this embodiment, the first base end 20 is a front end, and the first tip end 21 is a rear end.

[0024] The first mounting leg 11 has a first back surface 22 facing the radially inward direction of the rod body 2 and a first front surface 23 facing the radially outward direction of the rod body 2. The first back surface 22 and the first front surface 23 face each other in the radial direction of the rod body 2. The first front surface 23 is the surface opposite to the first back surface 22.

[0025] FIG. 2(a) shows the details of the first mounting leg portion 11. The first back surface 22 has a first abutment surface 24 that abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2, and a first separation surface 25 adjacent to the rear side of the first abutment surface 24. The first separation surface 25 is provided on the first tip portion 21. The first separation surface 25 is provided radially outward of the rod body 2 relative to the first abutment surface 24. The first separation surface 25 is separated radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2. The first separation surface 25 gradually separates radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2 toward the rear side. The first separation surface 25 is an inclined surface. The first separation surface 25 forms a first gap 26 between itself and the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2. The first gap 26 gradually widens toward the rear side.

[0026] The first surface 23 has a first abutment opposing surface 27 that faces the first abutment surface 24 in the radial direction of the rod body 2, and a first spaced opposing surface 28 that is adjacent to the rear side of the first abutment opposing surface 27. The first abutment opposing surface 27 is along the front-to-rear direction. The first abutment opposing surface 27 is parallel to the first abutment surface 24. The first spaced opposing surface 28 is bent radially outward from the first abutment opposing surface 27. The first spaced opposing surface 28 moves radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2 toward the rear. The first spaced opposing surface 28 is an inclined surface. The first spaced opposing surface 28 is parallel to the first spaced opposing surface 25.

[0027] The first mounting leg 11 has a first leg main section 30 and a first bent section 31. The first leg main section 30 extends in the front-to-rear direction. The first leg main section 30 extends rearward from the first base end section 20. The first leg main section 30 accounts for most of the overall length of the first mounting leg 11 and is the main section of the first mounting leg 11. The first bent section 31 is provided at the first tip section 21. The first bent section 31 is bent radially outward from the rod body 2 relative to the first leg main section 30. The bending angle of the first bent section 31 relative to the first leg main section 30 is less than 90 degrees, and preferably less than 45 degrees. The first leg main portion 30 is provided with the first abutment surface 24 and the first abutment opposing surface 27, and the first bent portion 31 is provided with the first separating surface 25 and the first separating opposing surface 28.

[0028] The first mounting leg 11 has a first mitigating portion 32 at the first tip portion 21. The first mitigating portion 32 mitigates stress concentration of the rod body 2 at the first tip portion 21 when the rod body 2 is bent downward. In this embodiment, the first mitigating portion 32 has the above-mentioned first separating surface 25.

[0029] The second support leg 14 extends downward from the holding portion 15. The second support leg 14 may extend obliquely from the holding portion 15 toward the front. The second support leg 14 is connected to the second mounting leg 12. The second support leg 14 connects the holding portion 15 and the second mounting leg 12, and supports the holding portion 15 together with the first support leg 13.

[0030] The second mounting leg 12 extends forward from the second support leg 14. The second mounting leg 12 is bent rearward relative to the second support leg 14. The second mounting leg 12 has a second base end 40 which is a connected end connected to the second support leg 14, and a second tip end 41 which is a free end on the opposite side in the front-to-rear direction from the second base end 40. In this embodiment, the second base end 40 is the rear end, and the second tip end 41 is the front end.

[0031] The second mounting leg 12 has a second back surface 42 facing the radially inward direction of the rod body 2 and a second front surface 43 facing the radially outward direction of the rod body 2. The second back surface 42 and the second front surface 43 face each other in the radial direction of the rod body 2. The second front surface 43 is the surface opposite to the second back surface 42.

[0032] FIG. 2(b) shows the second mounting leg 12 in detail. The second back surface 42 has a second abutment surface 44 that abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2. The second abutment surface 44 is provided over the entire second back surface 42. The second front surface 43 has a second abutment opposing surface 47 that faces the second abutment surface 44 in the radial direction of the rod body 2, and a tip inclined surface 48 adjacent to the front side of the second abutment opposing surface 47. The second abutment opposing surface 47 is parallel to the second abutment surface 44. The tip inclined surface 48 is provided on the second tip portion 41. The tip inclined surface 48 is gradually inclined downward toward the front side. By providing the tip inclined surface 48 on the second tip portion 41, the second tip portion 41 gradually becomes thinner toward the front side.

[0033] FIG. 3 shows the state of attachment of the fishing line guide 1 to the rod body 2. The fishing line guide 1 is attached, for example, by winding the spool 3 around it and applying adhesive. In FIG. 3, the adhesive layer 4 made of adhesive is indicated by numerous dots. In this embodiment, the fishing line guide 1 is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2 with the second attachment leg 12 facing forward and the first attachment leg 11 facing backward, but it may also be attached in the reversed orientation. With the first abutment surface 24 of the first attachment leg 11 in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2, the spool 3 is wound around the first surface 23 of the first attachment leg 11, and then adhesive is applied. Similarly, with the second abutment surface 44 of the second attachment leg 12 in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2, the spool 3 is wound around the second surface 43 of the second attachment leg 12, and then adhesive is applied.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 3, it is preferable that the winding line 3 be wound around the first abutting opposing surface 27 of the first surface 23, but not around the first separated opposing surface 28. The first separated opposing surface 28, i.e., the first bent portion 31, prevents the first attachment leg 11 from shifting forward relative to the winding line 3. In this way, the first bent portion 31 functions as a stopper. This makes it easy to stabilize the attached state of the fishing line guide 1. The adhesive continues beyond the first attachment leg 11 to the rear and adheres to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2 located rearward of the first attachment leg 11. Therefore, the adhesive layer 4 extends beyond the first tip portion 21 to the rear. The adhesive layer 4 also bulges radially outward at the first bent portion 31, locally raising the adhesive layer. That is, the adhesive layer 4 has a raised portion 4a at a position corresponding to the first bent portion 31, which bulges outward in the radial direction to cover the first bent portion 31. The raised portion 4a extends rearward beyond the first bent portion 31. The adhesive is filled in the first gap 26. This prevents the fishing line from entering the first gap 26, preventing tangling. Furthermore, because the raised portion 4a of the adhesive layer 4 covers the first bent portion, contact between the first bent portion 31 and the fishing line is also prevented.

[0035] FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a state in which the fishing rod body 2 is bent downward. As mentioned above, for convenience of explanation, in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 7, the fishing line guide 1 is shown "located on the upper side" of the rod body 2. However, to make it easier to understand the state in which the fishing rod body 2 is bent downward, in FIGS. 4, 9, and 10, the fishing line guide 1 is shown "located on the lower side" of the rod body 2. The winding line 3 and adhesive layer 4 are not shown. When the rod body 2 is bent, the fishing line guide 1 stretches in opposition to the bending of the rod body 2. When the rod body 2 is bent, stress tends to concentrate at the location of the rod body 2 where the first mounting leg 11 is attached, particularly at the location corresponding to the first tip 21 of the first mounting leg 11. In this embodiment, the first separating surface 25 at the first tip portion 21 of the first mounting leg 11 is separated radially outward from the rod body 2. Therefore, even if the rod body 2 is bent, stress concentration is less likely to occur in the rod body 2 at the first tip portion 21. Therefore, damage to the rod body 2 can be prevented.

[0036] In particular, since the first separating surface 25 is inclined and moves away radially outward from the rod body 2 toward the rear, damage to the rod body 2 can be effectively prevented even when the rod body 2 is bent significantly. Moreover, since the first bending portion 31 is formed in the first tip portion 21 and the first separating surface 25 is provided at the first bending portion 31, the first separating surface 25 can be easily manufactured.

[0037] Note that a second relaxation portion 52 may be provided at the second tip portion 41 of the second mounting leg 12, and a first relaxation portion 32 and a second relaxation portion 52 may be provided at the first tip portion 21 and the second tip portion 41, respectively. For example, as shown in Fig. 5(a), a first bent portion 31 and a second bent portion 51 may be provided at the first tip portion 21 and the second tip portion 41, respectively.

[0038] In detail, the second back surface 42 has a second spaced-apart surface 45 adjacent to the front side of the second abutting surface 44. The second spaced-apart surface 45 is provided on the second tip portion 41. The second spaced-apart surface 45 is provided radially outward from the second abutting surface 44. The second spaced-apart surface 45 is spaced radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2. The second spaced-apart surface 45 moves radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2 toward the front side. The second spaced-apart surface 45 is an inclined surface. The second spaced-apart surface 45 forms a second gap 46 with the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2. The second gap 46 gradually widens toward the front side. The second front surface 43 has a second spaced-apart opposing surface 48 adjacent to the front side of the second abutting opposing surface 47. The second spaced-apart opposing surface 48 is bent radially outward with respect to the second abutting opposing surface 47. The second spaced apart opposing surface 48 moves radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 2 toward the front. The second spaced apart opposing surface 48 is an inclined surface. The second spaced apart opposing surface 48 is parallel to the second spaced apart surface 45.

[0039] The second mounting leg 12 has a second leg main section 50 and a second bent section 51. The second leg main section 50 extends in the front-to-rear direction. The second leg main section 50 extends forward from the second base end section 40. The second leg main section 50 accounts for most of the overall length of the second mounting leg 12 and is the main section of the second mounting leg 12. The second bent section 51 is provided at the second tip end section 41. The second bent section 51 is bent radially outward from the rod body 2 relative to the second leg main section 50. The bending angle of the second bent section 51 relative to the second leg main section 50 is less than 90 degrees, and preferably less than 45 degrees. The second leg main portion 50 is provided with the second abutment surface 44 and the second abutment opposing surface 47, and the second bent portion 51 is provided with the second separating surface 45 and the second separating opposing surface 48.

[0040] The second mounting leg 12 has a second absorbing portion 52 at the second tip portion 41. The second absorbing portion 52 absorbs stress concentration of the rod body 2 at the second tip portion 41 when the rod body 2 is bent downward. In this embodiment, the second absorbing portion 52 has the second separating surface 45 described above.

[0041] In this way, when the first tip portion 21 is provided with the first relaxation portion 32 and the second tip portion 41 is provided with the second relaxation portion 52, it is possible to prevent stress concentration on the rod body 2 at both the first tip portion 21 and the second tip portion 41. Also, either the first tip portion 21 or the second tip portion 41 may be the front, which reduces restrictions on how the fishing line guide 1 can be attached to the rod body 2 and increases the versatility of the fishing line guide 1.

[0042] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the fishing line guide 1 has a so-called double-foot configuration, having a first mounting leg 11 and a second mounting leg 12, but as shown in Figure 6, the fishing line guide 1 may have a so-called single-foot configuration, having only the first mounting leg 11.

[0043] Furthermore, the first relaxation portion 32 may have various configurations. For example, it may have no first bent portion 31. FIG. 7 illustrates another example of the first relaxation portion 32. As shown in FIG. 7( a), the first separation surface 25 may be provided rearward of the first contact surface 24 via a first step portion 33. The first mounting leg 11 has a first leg main portion 30 and a first thin portion 34 adjacent to the rearward side of the first leg main portion 30 and thinner than the first leg main portion 30. The first thin portion 34 is provided in the first tip portion 21, and the first separation surface 25 is provided in the first thin portion 34. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7( b), the first tip portion 21 may be gradually thinner toward the rear, so that the first separation surface 25 slopes rearward and radially outward. Thus, the first separation surface 25 may have various configurations. The same applies to the second relaxation portion 52.

[0044] The configuration of the first relaxation section 32 can also be modified in various ways, and the first relaxation section 32 may be configured without the first separating surface 25. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the first relaxation section 32 may have a branched section. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the branched section uses a bifurcated section 60 that branches into two, and the bifurcated section 60 branches into two in the circumferential direction of the rod body 2 toward the rear. The bifurcated section 60 has a pair of bifurcated legs 61 on the left and right. The pair of bifurcated legs 61 open in a V-shape so that the lateral separation distance between them increases toward the rear. Note that FIG. 8 shows only the guide frame 6, and the guide ring 5 is not shown.

[0045] When the rod body 2 bends, the forked portion 60 deforms so as to expand in the circumferential direction of the rod body 2 in accordance with the bending of the rod body 2. Therefore, the first tip portion 21 of the first mounting leg 11 is less likely to dig into the rod body 2, and damage to the rod body 2 can be prevented. [Explanation of symbols]
