Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an extendable fishing rod composed of a plurality of rod segments.

Background Art

[0002] An extendable fishing rod is one in which a plurality of rod segments constituting the rod can be stored in the main rod tube. When in use, by extending each rod segment in order from the rod segment at the tip of the rod, it becomes a fishing rod connected in one piece. When carrying such an extendable fishing rod with a plurality of rod segments stored in the main rod tube, for example, when carrying it, external forces such as impact and bending may be applied to each rod segment protruding from the tip of the main rod tube, causing it to break or be damaged. Therefore, there is an extendable fishing rod in which a protective cover that covers a plurality of rod segments protruding from the tip of the main rod tube and is firmly fixed to the main rod tube is attached to prevent the rod segments from being damaged by external forces when a plurality of rod segments are stored (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in such an extendable fishing rod, when storing a plurality of rod segments, the tip portions of those plurality of rod segments are configured to be stored in the grip portion, and while being coupled to the tip of the grip portion, in a state where the tip portions of the plurality of rod segments protruding from the tip of the grip portion are covered with a bottomed cylindrical cover portion, by screwing the cover portion into the grip portion and coupling it, it is possible to prevent the rod segments from being damaged by external forces. Further, by providing a notch extending in the axial direction on the side surface of the cover portion, a fishing line guide can be inserted into the notch, so that the diameter of the cover portion can be reduced and it can be made compact.

[0005] However, in a cover section with a bottom and a notch extending axially along the side, a fishing line guide can be inserted into the notch, making the cover section more compact. However, when a reel is attached to the grip section and the fishing line is threaded through the fishing line guide, the cover section is screwed into the clip section, and even with the notch, the fishing line can get tangled. In other words, there was a problem in that it could not be used with a reel attached to the grip section and the fishing line threaded through the fishing line guide.

[0006] This invention has been made in view of these problems, and aims to provide a telescopic fishing rod that can prevent damage to the rods due to external forces, even when a reel is attached, when fishing line is threaded through the fishing line guide, and when multiple rods are stored. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve at least some of the above-mentioned problems and can be realized in the following application examples. The reference numerals and supplementary explanations in parentheses in this section are provided to aid in understanding the present invention and correspond to the embodiments described later; they do not limit the present invention in any way.

[0008] [Application Example 1] The invention described in Application Example 1 is, A telescopic fishing rod (1) having multiple rods (11-18) each having a fishing line guide (11a-18a) connected in a telescopic manner, The tip portions of the multiple rods (11-18) are stored in a protruding state, and a reel (5) is attached, and a grip portion (20) is held by the user. When the tip portions of the plurality of rods (11-18) are stored in the grip portion (20), the cover portion (30) covers the tip portions of the plurality of rods (11-18) that protrude from the tip of the grip portion (20), Equipped with, The grip portion (20) is provided with a first connecting portion (21) for connecting to the cover portion (30) at the portion where the tips of the plurality of rods (11-18) protrude. The cover portion (30) is A cover body (32) having a cylindrical shape and having at least one notch (33) extending axially on its side, A cap portion (34) is attached to the opening at one end of the cover body (32) and closes the opening, The end opposite to the opening to which the cap portion (34) is attached has a second connecting portion (31) for connecting with the first connecting portion (21), This is a telescopic fishing rod (1) whose main feature is that it is equipped with a telescopic design.

[0009] In this type of telescopic fishing rod (1), the tips of multiple rod shafts (11-18), each having a fishing line guide (11a-18a), are stored in the grip section (20) with their tips protruding. The multiple rod shafts (11-18), with their tips protruding from the grip section (20), are covered by a cylindrical cover section (30).

[0010] At this time, the cover portion (30) is directly connected to the grip portion (20) by connecting the second connecting portion (31) of the cover portion (30) and the first connecting portion (21) of the grip portion (20).

[0011] Therefore, when multiple rods (11-18) are housed in the grip section (20) and the cover section (30) is connected to the grip section (20), no external force is directly applied to the rods (11-18).

[0012] In other words, even when transporting a telescopic fishing rod (1) with multiple rods (11-18) stored in the grip section (20) and the cover section (30) attached to the grip section (20), the multiple rods (11-18) equipped with fishing line guides (11a-18a) will not be damaged by external forces.

[0013] In addition, since at least one notch (33) extending in the axial direction is provided on the side surface of the cover portion (30), with the fishing line passed through the fishing line guides (11a to 18a), while inserting the fishing line guides (11a to 18a) into the notch (33), if the rod shafts (11 to 18) are contracted and the cap portion (34) is attached to the opening of the cover portion (30), the rod shafts (11 to 18) can be protected in a state of being stored inside the cap portion (34).

[0014] [Application Example 2] The casting rod (1) described in Application Example 2 is the casting rod (1) described in Application Example 1, wherein the second coupling portion (31) of the cover portion (30) is mainly coupled to the first coupling portion (21) in a screwed-in form.

[0015] In such a casting rod (1), since the cover portion (30) is coupled to the first coupling portion (x1) in a screwed-in form by the second coupling portion (31), the structure is simple, easy to use for the user, and moreover, the cover portion (30) is firmly coupled to the grip portion (20).

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments at all, and various forms can be taken as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

[0018] Based on FIGS. 1 to 4, the structure of the telescopic fishing rod 1 will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic external appearance of the telescopic fishing rod 1, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic external appearance in a state where a cover portion is connected to an end portion of the grip portion opposite to the end portion from which the rod portion 10 is pulled out. Further, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the cover portion, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the cap portion.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the telescopic fishing rod 1 includes a rod portion 10, a grip portion 20, and a cover portion 30. Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the rod portion 10 includes eight rods 11 to 18 and is assembled in a so-called telescopic manner. The rods 11 to 18 are configured in a known manner.

[0020] That is, each of the rods 11 to 18 constituting the rod portion 10 is formed in a tapered shape as a whole, and is formed such that the outer diameter of the rear end portion is larger than the outer diameter of the front end portion. Also, the outer diameter of the rear end portion of the rod 11 is set smaller than the inner diameter of the front end of the rod 12. Thereby, the rod 11 can be retractably stored inside the rod 12.

[0021] The relationship between the rod 12 and the rod 13, the relationship between the rod 13 and the rod 14, the relationship between the rod 14 and the rod 15, the relationship between the rod 15 and the rod 16, the relationship between the rod 16 and the rod 17, and the relationship between the rod 17 and the rod 18 are the same.

[0022] As the material of the rods 11 to 18, carbon FRP is used, but other materials such as glass fiber, boron, and bamboo may also be used. Furthermore, annular fishing line guides 11a to 18a for guiding the fishing line through the side surfaces of the front end portions of the respective rods 11 to 18 are attached to the reel 5.

[0023] The grip portion 20 has a cylindrical shape and is formed of a metal such as an aluminum alloy, but various FRPs and the like may also be used. The grip section 20 is designed to be held by the user to support the entire telescopic fishing rod 1, and also allows for the attachment of the reel 5. The grip section 20 also has a function for storing the rod shaft section 10, and has a first connecting section 21 at the end that stores and extends the rod shaft section 10, and a third connecting section 22 at the end in the opposite direction.

[0024] The first connecting portion 21 has a cylindrical shape with a male thread, and its diameter is formed to be smaller than the diameter of the grip portion 20. The third connecting portion 22 has a cylindrical shape with the same length and diameter as the first connecting portion 21, and is also fitted with the same male thread as the first connecting portion 21.

[0025] The cover portion 30 is the part that covers the tip portions of each rod 11 to 18 that make up the rod portion 10, which protrude from the tip of the grip portion 20 when the rod portion 10 is stored in the grip portion 20, and as shown in Figure 3, it comprises a cover body 32 and a cap portion 34.

[0026] The cover body 32 is made of a metal such as an aluminum alloy and is formed in a cylindrical shape with open surfaces at both ends. A female thread is cut into the inner circumferential surface of one end of this cylindrical shape, which fits into the male thread cut into the first connecting part 21, forming the second connecting part 31.

[0027] Furthermore, a notch 33 is provided in one place on the side of the cover body 32, running axially. The width of this notch 33 (the size of the notch perpendicular to the axis of the cover body 32) is sized to accommodate the largest of the fishing line guides 11a to 18a on each rod. Therefore, when attaching the cover body 32 to the grip section 20, the fishing line guides 11a to 18a on each rod are fitted into the notch 33.

[0028] The cap portion 34 is a cap for closing the opening at the end of the cover body 32 opposite to the end with a female thread for connecting to the first connecting portion 21, and is made of a metal such as an aluminum alloy.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4, the cap portion 34 has a threaded portion 34b that has a male thread that fits into the female thread of the second connecting portion 31 of the cover body 32, and a closing portion 34a that has a larger diameter than the diameter of the threaded portion 34b and closes the opening of the cover body 32. By screwing the threaded portion 34b into the second connecting portion 31 and attaching it to the cover body 32, the opening of the cover body 32 can be closed by the closing portion 34a.

[0030] (How to use telescopic fishing rod 1) Next, we will explain how to use the telescopic fishing rod 1.

[0031] When fishing with the telescopic fishing rod 1, the cover portion 30, with the cap portion 34 attached to the cover body 32, is removed from the grip portion 20, and the removed cover portion 30 is connected to the third connecting portion 22 at the opposite end of the grip portion 20. Then, the rod rods 11 to 18 protruding from the tip of the grip portion 20 are sequentially extended to form a single rod.

[0032] To store each of the rods 11-18 and move them to a different location, the cover portion 30, which is connected to the third joint portion 22 of the grip portion 20, is removed and connected to the first joint portion 21 at the opposite end of the grip portion 20.

[0033] The cap section 34 is removed from the cover section 30, and the extended rods 11-18 are sequentially stored in the grip section 20, with the fishing line still threaded through the fishing line guides 11a-18a, while the fishing line guides 11a-18a are inserted into the notches 33 of the cover body 32.

[0034] After storing each rod 11-18, the cap portion 34 is attached to the first joint portion 21 of the cover body 32 to prevent each rod 11-18 from protruding from the cover portion 30.

[0035] (Features of telescopic fishing rod 1) In this type of telescopic fishing rod 1, when the rods 11 to 18 that make up the rod section 10 are stored in the grip section 20, the fishing line remains threaded through the fishing line guides 11a to 18a provided at the tips of each rod, and the rods are stored inside the cover body 32 with the fishing line guides 11a to 18a inserted into the notches 33 of the cover body 32, and the opening of the cover body 32 is closed by the cap section 34.

[0036] In other words, each rod 11-18 is stored in the cover section 30 without rotating, thus protecting each rod 11-18 from damage due to external forces. At that time, the fishing line can remain threaded through the fishing line guides 11a-18a of each rod 11-18, resulting in a convenient telescopic fishing rod 1.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, when using the telescopic fishing rod 1, the cover portion 30, which was connected to the grip portion 20 by a first and second connecting portion so as to cover the tips of each rod section 11 to 18, is removed, and the removed cover portion 30 is connected to the third connecting portion 22 at the end of the grip portion 20 opposite to the end having the first connecting portion 21 using the second connecting portion 31, thereby extending the axial length of the grip portion 20 by the length of the cover portion 30.

[0038] Therefore, the extended length of the grip section 20 increases the range of the telescopic fishing rod 1 that the user can grip, making the fishing rod easier for the user to use.

[0039] [Other embodiments] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and can take various forms.

[0040] (1) In the above embodiment, the number of rods constituting the rod section 10 is set to 8, but it is not limited to this. (2) In the above embodiment, a cylindrical shape was used for the grip portion 20, but a rectangular prism shape may be used as long as there is a cavity inside that can house the rod portion 10, and the end of the grip portion 20 having the second joint portion may be a curved shape such as U-shape or r-shape.

[0041] (3) In the above embodiment, the second coupling portion 31 is provided with a female thread and the first coupling portion 21 and the third coupling portion 22 are provided with male threads in order to connect the second coupling portion 31 with the first coupling portion 21 and the third coupling portion 22. However, the second coupling portion 31 may be provided with a male thread and the first coupling portion 21 and the third coupling portion 22 may be provided with female threads.

[0042] (4) In the above embodiment, a screw structure is used to connect the second joint 31 with the first joint 21 and the third joint 22, but a snap-fit ​​structure may also be used. (5) In the above embodiment, there is one notch 33 provided in the axial direction on the side surface of the circumferential surface of the cover portion 30, but multiple notches 33 may be provided in the axial direction at different locations on the side surface of the circumferential surface.

[0043] As a result, when attaching the cover portion 30 to the grip portion 20 using the second connecting portion 31 and the first connecting portion 21, the fishing line guides 11a to 18a can be stored in any of the multiple notches 33, making the telescopic fishing rod 1 easier to use.
