[Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0019] The following describes in detail an embodiment of the hood structure according to the present invention and a mobile hood equipped therewith, with reference to the attached drawings. Components common to multiple drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings. Please note that, for the sake of clarity, each drawing is not necessarily drawn to an exact scale.

[0020] Figure 1 illustrates a hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention and a fishing rod having a movable hood equipped therewith. As shown in the figure, the fishing rod 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a rod body 2, a reel 6 attached to the rod body 2 via a reel seat 9, and a fishing line guide 10 attached to the rod body 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the reel seat 9 and the fishing line guide 10 each correspond to mounting parts attached to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body.

[0021] In the illustrated example, the butt section 3, middle section 5, and tip section 7 are provided with multiple fishing line guides 10 (fishing line guides 10A to 10D) to guide the fishing line unfurled from the reel 6 attached to the reel seat 9. More specifically, the butt section 3 is provided with fishing line guide 10A, the middle section 5 is provided with fishing line guide 10B, and the tip section 7 is provided with fishing line guide 10C. A top guide 10D is provided at the tip of the tip section 7, but further details are omitted.

[0022] Next, with reference to Figure 2, a brief overview of a reel seat 9 comprising a reel seat body 12 and a nut 8, including a hood structure and a movable hood equipped therewith, according to one embodiment of the present invention, will be described. As shown in the figure, the reel seat 9 including a movable hood according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a reel seat body 12 having a reel leg mounting surface (reel leg mounting portion) 12a along its axial direction on which the reel leg 6a of a fishing reel 6 is placed. The reel seat body 12 is formed in a cylindrical shape as a whole. The reel seat body 12 is also formed from an appropriate material such as synthetic resin (e.g., polyamide-based synthetic resin or ABS resin) or metal (e.g., SUS, aluminum, titanium, brass). The reel seat body 12 can be configured to have a length of, for example, 60-160 mm, but is not limited thereto.

[0023] The reel leg mounting surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 can be formed to be flat or substantially flat with a greater curvature than other circumferential parts adjacent to the reel leg mounting surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 (e.g., the grip portion 12b), and is formed to extend in the axial direction of the reel seat body 12 as shown in Figure 2. A fixed hood 14 is provided at one end (the butt end side) of the reel seat body 12. One end of the reel leg mounting surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 is located inside the fixed hood 14.

[0024] The reel seat body 12 has a cylindrical body with a guide groove formed at the other end (butt end) and a threaded portion (male threaded portion) 18 integrally provided. The cylindrical body has a cylindrical portion mounting surface 13 formed on it, which is continuous with the reel leg mounting surface 12a of the reel seat body 12, or with a slight step. The cylindrical portion mounting surface 13 is also continuous with the threaded portion (male threaded portion) 18. At the other end (butt end), a movable hood 22 is mounted on the outside of the cylindrical body and the threaded portion 18 so as to be movable in the axial direction. Here, the reel seat body 12 and the movable hood 22, or the reel seat body 12, the movable hood 22 and the nut 8 described later, are sometimes collectively referred to as the reel seat 9, but details are omitted. Also, the movable hood 22 corresponds to the hood described later, but it may also refer to the hood structure including the hood, or it may refer to these together with the nut 8 as the movable hood 22, but from now on, unless otherwise specified, it will be described as corresponding to the hood described later.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2, the fixed hood 14 of the reel seat body 12 has an opening 14a facing the movable hood 22 to receive one end of the reel leg 6a. When one end of the reel leg 6a is received in this opening 14a and pressed by the opening 14a, the reel leg 6a is biased (pressed) toward the reel leg mounting surface 12a located inside the fixed hood 14.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing hood 14 is not limited to being integrally disposed with the reel seat body 12; it may also be formed as a separate structure from the reel seat body 12 using metal or a hard synthetic resin and firmly fixed to the reel seat body 12. In addition, if the fixing hood 14 is made of metal, a resin component may be placed at the part that contacts the reel leg 6a of the reel 6 to prevent damage to each component due to contact between metal parts.

[0027] The movable hood 22 is formed in a sleeve shape that penetrates an axial hole through which the threaded portion (male threaded portion) 18 of the reel seat body 12 is inserted, and has a hood body 26 and a reel leg holding portion 28 formed inside the hood body 26. The hood body 26 is made of, for example, synthetic resin. A nut 8 is rotatably connected to the rear (butt end) of the hood body 26 of the movable hood 22. The nut is made of, for example, synthetic resin, polyamide-based synthetic resin, ABS resin, or metal such as SUS, aluminum, or brass, but is not limited to these.

[0028] Nut 8 has a female threaded portion 24 formed on its inner circumference that screws onto the threaded portion (male threaded portion) 18 of the reel seat body 12. The front end of nut 8 (referring to the end of the movable hood 22 on the hood body 26 side) is connected (locked) to the rear end of the hood body 26 of the movable hood 22 (referring to the end on the front end side of nut 8) in a state that allows for relative rotation and prevents it from coming loose (note that the hood body 26 and nut 8 are usually constructed as separate components). Nut 8 is screwed onto the threaded portion (male threaded portion) 18 of the reel seat body 12 and is rotatably arranged. As described above, since the hood body 26 is connected to nut 8, when nut 8 is rotated in the forward direction relative to the threaded portion (male threaded portion) 18, nut 8 moves closer to the fixed hood 14 and the hood body 26 of the movable hood 22 moves closer to the fixed hood 14. On the other hand, when the nut 8 is rotated in the opposite direction relative to the threaded portion (male threaded portion) 18, the nut 8 separates from the fixed hood 14, and the hood body 26 of the movable hood 22 separates from the fixed hood 14. The hood body 26, which is moved in the axial direction of the reel seat body 12 by the rotation of the nut 8, has an opening 26a that opens forward and inward, and is fixed in a state in which a reel leg holding portion 28 that receives the rear end of the reel leg 6a of the fishing reel 6 is disposed. This opening 26a of the hood body 26 faces the opening 14a of the fixed hood 14 when the movable hood 22 is attached to the threaded portion (male threaded portion) 18 of the reel seat body 12.

[0029] Next, with reference to Figures 3 to 5 and Figure 11, the details of the hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention will be further described. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4(a) is a perspective view of the hood in the hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4(b) is a side view of the hood in the hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention (in the direction perpendicular to the axis (central axis) X (from the radially outer side of the hood to the inner side)), (c) is a front view of the hood in the hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention (from the left side to the right side of the page in Figure 3), and (d) is a cross-sectional view of the hood in the hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention (cross-section in Figure 3). Furthermore, Figure 5(a) is a perspective view of the ring member in a hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5(b) is a side view of the ring member in a hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention (direction perpendicular to the axis (central axis) X (radially from the outside to the inside of the ring member)), Figure 5(c) is a front view of the ring member in a hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention (direction from the left to the right of the page in Figure 3), and Figure 5(d) is a cross-sectional view of the ring member in a hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention (cross-section in Figure 3). Also, Figure 11 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the mechanism for fixing the reel leg in a hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, a hood structure 15 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a hood (movable hood 22) having a hood body 26 for holding reel legs on its inner surface, and a ring member 16 fitted to the outer surface 26a of the hood body 26. The hood (movable hood 22) has a first fixing portion 17 provided on the outer surface 26a of the hood body 26, and the ring member 16 has a first fixed portion 20 on its inner surface that is fixed to the first fixing portion 17, and a gap 25 is formed between the hood body 26 and the ring member 16. Herein, the illustrated example has been described assuming that the hood is a movable hood 22, but it may also be a fixed hood, and it is not intended to be limited to one or the other.Hereafter, the case in which the hood is a movable hood 22 will be described as an example.

[0031] According to the hood structure 15 of one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a hood structure that can stably fix the reel leg of a fishing reel regardless of the dimensions and shape of the reel leg, and a movable hood equipped therewith. More specifically, as shown in Figure 11 as a conceptual diagram illustrating the mechanism, when the reel leg of a fishing reel is inserted, the hood (hood body) can deform by utilizing the gap (space) between the ring member and the hood (hood body), thereby absorbing differences in the shape and dimensions of the reel leg and making the reel leg fit to the hood (hood body), allowing the reel leg to be stably fixed by the hood (hood body), and thereby enabling the fixing of reel legs of various shapes and dimensions. Furthermore, wear on the hood (hood body) by the reel leg can be suppressed, and by providing a ring member on the outside of the hood (hood body), it is possible to suppress the hood (hood body) from deforming and being damaged more than necessary.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, in the hood structure 15 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first fixing part 17 and the first fixed part 20, and the second fixing part and the second fixed part, which will be described later, are each fixed by a fixing structure, and the fixing structure is configured to include press-fitting (an example shown in one of Figure 6, which will be described later), engagement (as shown in Figure 3, an example shown in the other of Figure 6, which will be described later), or screwing. In this way, by using a structural fixing method to fix the ring member and the hood, the amount of adhesive can be reduced or eliminated, thereby reducing the adhesive application work and improving workability.

[0033] Next, a hood structure according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 10. Figures 6 to 8 are cross-sectional views illustrating a hood structure according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9(a) is a cross-sectional view (a cross-sectional view in a plane passing through axis X) illustrating a hood structure according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 9(b) is a cross-sectional view (a cross-sectional view in a plane perpendicular to axis X) illustrating a hood structure according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a hood structure according to another embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in Figure 6, in a hood structure 15 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the hood (movable hood 22) has a second fixing portion 19 (in the example shown in Figure 6, a fixing structure by press-fitting) provided on the outer surface 26a of the hood body 26, and the ring member 16 has a second fixed portion 21 (in the example shown in Figure 6, a fixing structure by press-fitting) on ​​its inner surface that is fixed to the second fixing portion 19, and the gap 25 is formed between the first fixing portion 17 and the first fixed portion 20 (in the example shown in Figure 6, a fixing structure by engagement) and the second fixing portion 19 and the second fixed portion 21 (in the example shown in Figure 6, a fixing structure by press-fitting as described above) when viewed in the axial direction (axis (central axis) X in Figure 6) of the hood body 26. In this way, the ring member and the hood (hood body) are fixedly supported on both sides of the gap in the axial direction, which allows for the generation of a restoring force when the hood (hood body) deforms, thereby further improving the fixing force of the reel leg to the hood (hood body).

[0034] In a hood structure 15 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first fixing part 17 and the first fixed part 20, and the second fixing part 19 and the second fixed part 21 are provided spaced apart from each other when viewed in the axial direction (axis (central axis) X in Figure 6) of the hood (hood body) (in the example shown in Figure 6, they are spaced apart from each other at both ends of the ring member 16 and the hood body 26). In this way, the ring member and the hood (hood body) are fixedly supported on both sides, so a gap can be formed between the two sides, which generates a restoring force when the hood (hood body) is deformed, and makes it possible to further improve the fixing force of the reel leg to the hood (hood body).

[0035] Furthermore, in the hood structure 15 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the ring member 16 is made of metal, and the hood (movable hood 22) is made of resin. As shown in Figure 7, a recess 23 is formed on the inner surface 16a of the ring member 16, which is recessed away from the outer surface 26a of the hood body 26 of the hood (movable hood 22), and the gap 25 is the recess 23. In this way, a gap can be formed between the ring member and the hood body of the hood (movable hood), while reducing the volume of the metal ring member, thus enabling weight reduction of the hood structure. Here, although the reference numeral is not shown, the recess 23 is formed in the same way as in Figure 7 in Figures 3 and 6 described above. Also, although the reference numeral is not shown, the recess 23 is formed in the same way as in Figure 7 in Figures 8, 9 and 10 described later. Further details are omitted.

[0036] In a hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention, the gap is formed such that the radial width of the gap 25 (width in the direction perpendicular to the axis X (radial direction of the hood body 26)) decreases as it approaches the front side (towards the nut 8 side in Figures 3 and 6 (towards the tip of the reel leg 6a)) when viewed in the direction in which the reel leg is inserted into the hood body (left-right direction as viewed in the paper of Figures 3 and 6 (direction of axis X)). In this way, insertion is made easier regardless of the shape and dimensions of the reel leg in the pre-insertion stage, and it can be firmly fixed in the post-insertion stage, thus making it possible to ensure fixing force while absorbing differences in the shape and dimensions of the reel leg.

[0037] Next, with reference to Figures 8 to 10, a hood structure according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, as shown in Figure 8, in the hood structure 15 according to another embodiment of the present invention, the hood (movable hood 22) has a second fixing part 19 (in the example shown in Figure 8, a fixing structure by screwing) provided on the outer surface 26a of the hood body 26, the ring member 16 has a second fixed part 21 (in the example shown in Figure 8, a fixing structure by screwing a male screw and a female screw) fixed to the second fixing part 19 on its inner surface 16a, and the gap 25 is formed between the first fixing part 17 and the first fixed part 20 (in the example shown in Figure 8, a fixing structure by engagement similar to that in Figure 6) and the second fixing part 19 and the second fixed part 21 (in the example shown in Figure 8, a fixing structure by screwing a male screw and a female screw, as previously described). In this way, the ring member and the hood (hood body) are fixedly supported on both sides of the gap in the axial direction, which allows for the generation of a restoring force when the hood (hood body) deforms, thereby further improving the fixing force of the reel leg to the hood (hood body).

[0038] Next, as shown in Figures 9(a) and (b), in a hood structure 15 according to another embodiment of the present invention, the hood (movable hood 22) has a second fixing portion 19 provided on the outer surface 26a of the hood body 26 (in the example shown in Figures 9(a) and (b), a locking structure (fixing structure) with a key projection and a key groove), and the ring member 16 has a second fixed portion 21 fixed to the second fixing portion 19 on its inner surface 16a (in the example shown in Figures 9(a) and (b), a key The ring member has a locking structure (fixing structure) consisting of a protrusion and a keyway, and the gap 25 is formed between the first fixing part 17 and the first fixed part 20 (in the examples shown in Figures 9(a) and (b), a fixing structure by engagement similar to that in Figure 6) and the second fixing part 19 and the second fixed part 21 (in the examples shown in Figures 9(a) and (b), a locking structure (fixing structure) consisting of a key protrusion and a keyway, as previously described). In this way, the ring member and the hood (hood body) are fixedly supported on both sides of the gap in the axial direction, so that a restoring force can be generated when the hood (hood body) is deformed, and the fixing force of the reel leg to the hood (hood body) can be further improved.

[0039] Next, as shown in Figure 10, in a hood structure 15 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the hood (movable hood 22) has a second fixing portion 19 (in the example shown in Figure 10, a locking structure (fixing structure) by an annular snap fit) provided on the outer surface 26a of the hood body 26, the ring member 16 has a second fixed portion 21 (in the example shown in Figure 10, a locking structure (fixing structure) by an annular snap fit) on its inner surface 16a that is fixed to the second fixing portion 19, and the gap 25 is formed between the first fixing portion 17 and the first fixed portion 20 (in the example shown in Figure 10, a fixing structure by engagement similar to that in Figure 6) and the second fixing portion 19 and the second fixed portion 21 (in the example shown in Figure 10, a locking structure (fixing structure) by an annular snap fit). In this way, the ring member and the hood (hood body) are fixedly supported on both sides of the gap in the axial direction, which allows for the generation of a restoring force when the hood (hood body) deforms, thereby further improving the fixing force of the reel leg to the hood (hood body).

[0040] A movable hood 22 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include any of the above-described hood structures 15. Alternatively, a movable hood 22 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include any of the above-described hood structures 15 and a nut 8 for moving the hood body 26 in the axial direction of the hood body 26.

[0041] According to a movable hood equipped with a hood structure according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a hood structure and a movable hood equipped therewith that can stably fix the reel leg of a fishing reel regardless of the dimensions and shape of the reel leg. More specifically, as shown in Figure 11 as a conceptual diagram illustrating the mechanism, when the reel leg of a fishing reel is inserted, the hood (hood body) can deform by utilizing the gap (space) between the ring member and the hood (hood body), thereby absorbing differences in the shape and dimensions of the reel leg and making the reel leg fit to the hood (hood body), allowing the reel leg to be stably fixed by the hood (hood body), and thereby enabling the fixing of reel legs of various shapes and dimensions. Furthermore, wear of the hood (hood body) by the reel leg can be suppressed, and by also providing a ring member on the outside of the hood (hood body), it is possible to suppress the hood (hood body) from deforming and being damaged more than necessary.

[0042] The dimensions, materials, and arrangements of each component described herein are not limited to those explicitly described in the embodiments, and each component can be modified to have any dimensions, materials, and arrangements that fall within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, components not explicitly described herein may be added to the described embodiments, and some of the components described in each embodiment may be omitted. [Explanation of Symbols]
