[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] https: / / www.daiwa.com / jp / product / phqnfgz Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, if the tray side of the case body is made of a soft material in order to open the case body widely, the case body will be easily distorted, and there is room for improvement in the operation of removing and storing the fishing rod. In other words, it is desirable for the fishing rod case to have a structure in which the storage section opens widely, regardless of the material of the case body.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod case whose fasteners are easy to open and close and whose storage compartment can be opened widely. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The fishing rod case of the present invention has a case body including a tray and a cylindrical wall portion that is integral with the tray and forms a storage section in which a fishing rod is stored, and the wall portion is provided with a fastener that extends from one end of the wall portion toward the tray and terminates at the tray to open and close the storage section, and the fastener extends from a bending start position halfway along the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical wall portion, crossing the wall portion in a straight line and / or non-straight line, and reaches the tray, and the wall portion is provided with an angled turn-back portion in the range from the bending start position to the tray.

[0008] In the fishing rod case of the above configuration, the storage section of the case body is opened and closed by operating a fastener provided on the cylindrical wall of the case body, and the fishing rod can be removed and stored. The fastener runs linearly and / or non-linearly from the bending start position halfway along the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical wall to the tray, eliminating the need to open and close the case body in stages in different directions, and allowing the case body to be opened widely, making it easier to insert and remove the fishing rod. In addition, the wall has an angled cut-back section in the range from the bending start position to the tray, which prevents distortion regardless of the material of the case body and allows for easy removal of the fishing rod. This allows the fasteners to be arranged in a manner that advantageously widens the opening. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, a fishing rod case can be obtained which has a fastener which is easy to open and close and which allows easy removal of the fishing rod. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 5] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the fishing rod case shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from above. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, the configuration of one embodiment of a fishing rod case according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. In the following description, the directionality is defined as the upper side (top end) and the lower side (bottom end) based on the state where the tray is placed on the ground, as shown in Figures 2(a) to 2(d). The direction perpendicular to the up-down direction is defined as the horizontal direction.

[0012] The case body 1A of the fishing rod case 1 according to this embodiment has a storage section capable of storing multiple fishing rods (not shown), and the storage section is configured so that it can be opened / closed by operating a fastener 10 provided on the side wall of the case body 1A.

[0013] The case body 1A is formed of, for example, fibers such as nylon, resins such as polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), polyethylene (PE), EVA, ABS, or composite materials thereof, and has a cylindrical wall 3 to form the storage section. The wall 3 of this embodiment has a front wall 3A, side walls (left wall 3B, right wall 3C), and a rear wall 3D, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in a cross section along the horizontal direction. Therefore, adjacent walls are bent at a predetermined angle (approximately 90°) and integrated. Such a wall 3 can be formed, for example, by integrating the edges of a plurality of outer shell members (plate-shaped members) by bonding, sewing, welding, or the like.

[0014] A tray 5 for receiving the base end of the fishing rod stored in the storage section is integrally provided by gluing, sewing, etc. on the lower end of the wall section 3. The tray 5 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape so as to be integrated with the lower ends of the front wall section 3A, the left and right side walls 3B, 3C, and the rear wall section 3D in accordance with the cross-sectional shape of the wall section 3.

[0015] Further, a fastener 10 is provided in the vertical direction on the wall 3, extending from one end toward the tray 5 and terminating at the tray 5 to open / close the storage section. The fastener 10 is disposed between the edge of the front wall 3A and the edge of the left side wall 3B, and is disposed so as to extend from the upper end region (upper end wall 3E) of the case main body 1A toward the tray 5. Therefore, by pinching an operating piece 11 of the fastener 10 and moving it downward, the wall 3 (between the edge of the front wall 3A and the edge of the left side wall 3B) opens, and the storage section is released.

[0016] The fastener 10 extends downward in a straight line from a predetermined position (referred to as bending start position P) midway in the longitudinal direction of the case body 1A while crossing the left side wall portion 3B. The fastener 10 of this embodiment is arranged so that it wraps around and terminates at approximately the middle position P1 of the tray 5. That is, to operate the fastener 10 of this embodiment, the operating piece 11 is grasped and moved approximately vertically from the upper end wall 3E side of the case body 1A toward the tray 5 side, and then at bending start position P on the lower end side, it is displaced from the front wall 3A toward the left side wall 3B, and then the operating piece is moved linearly so as to wrap around the left side wall 3B.

[0017] The approximately intermediate position P1 may be between the edges 5a, 5b on both sides of the tray 5 formed in an approximately rectangular shape (see FIG. 3), and the fastener 10 may be arranged to extend linearly, or to extend nonlinearly, such as curved, or to reach the tray 5 in a combination of linear and nonlinear shapes, as shown in the figure. In this case, if the end position of the fastener is moved across the entire left side wall 3B and close to one edge 5a, a wide opening is formed, allowing the case body to be opened widely, making it easier to take out and store the fishing rod. Also, if it is moved close to the other edge 5b, it is possible to make the lower side of the case body 1A less likely to warp (improve shape retention), and it is possible to improve stability when the case is erected to take out and store the fishing rod.

[0018] In this embodiment, the upper end side 10A of the fastener 10 extends across the upper end wall 3E of the case body 1A. In this case, the upper end side 10A of the fastener 10 is disposed so as to terminate at a substantially midpoint of the edge 3E2 on the opposite side from the corner region 3E1 (the region corresponding to the area between the edge of the front wall 3A and the edge of the left side wall 3B) of the upper end wall 3E opposite the tray 5, as shown in FIG. 5. In this manner, by configuring the upper end wall 3E to be openable by the fastener 10, the opening can be made wider when the fastener 10 is opened, making it easier to remove the fishing rod.

[0019] The wall 3 is provided with an angled turn-back portion 20 in a range from the bending start position P to the tray 5. The turn-back portion here refers to a portion where the wall 3 is processed to bend at a predetermined angle when the case body 1A is viewed in cross section, and corresponds to, for example, a portion where the ends of two plate-like members are joined together, such as by laminating cloth on a board, or a portion where one member is bent, and there are no limitations on the position or length of the turn-back portion.

[0020] In this embodiment, a turn-back portion 20 is disposed between the front wall portion 3A and the left side wall portion 3B on the tray 5 side with respect to the bending start position P. The angle of the turn-back portion 20 (the bending angle of both walls) is set to approximately 90°. By disposing such a turn-back portion 20, the rigidity in the vertical direction is improved, so that even if the fastener 10 is disposed so as to go around across the left side wall portion 3B, a wide opening can be achieved and smooth opening and closing operations can be performed regardless of the material of the case body 1A.

[0021] In this case, in order to enhance the reinforcing effect, a flange may be formed at the cut-back portion 20, for example, by piping. The cut-back portion 20 may be bent at a predetermined angle using one board member, or may be formed at a predetermined angle by abutting the edges of different board members. For example, if the wall portion is formed to have a cross section with pentagons or more (polygons), the angle of the cut-back portion will be greater than 90°, and if it is formed to have a triangular shape, the angle of the cut-back portion will be less than 90°.

[0022] According to the fishing rod case 1 configured as above, the following operational effects can be obtained. The fastener 10 extends from a bending start position P midway along the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical wall portion (left side wall portion 3B) of the case body 1A in a straight line across the wall portion (left side wall portion 3B) to the tray 5. In other words, the fastener 10 is moved downward by gripping the operating piece 11 of the fastener 10, and then changed direction from the bending start position P and simply slid downward so as to go around the left side wall portion 3B. Therefore, there is no need to operate it stepwise in different directions. This eliminates the need for a fastener, improving the ease of use of the fastener.

[0023] In addition, the wall (left side wall 3B) is provided with an angled cut-back portion 20 in the range from the bending start position P to the tray 5, which prevents distortion regardless of the material of the case body 1A, and allows the fastener 10 to be arranged in a manner that widens the opening so that the fishing rod can be easily removed. That is, by forming the cut-back portion 20 in the wall 3, it is possible to freely set the orientation direction of the fastener 10 without distortion, and the wall of the case body 1A can be opened widely, allowing the fishing rod to be smoothly inserted and removed. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the fastener 10 is arranged so as to go around the wall (left side wall 3B) to create a wide opening, making it easy to remove and store the fishing rod.

[0024] As described above, in this embodiment, the wall 3 of the case body 1A includes the front wall 3A and the side walls (left and right side walls 3B, 3C), and the fastener 10 extends between the edge of the front wall 3A and the edge of the side wall (left side wall 3B), so that operability is improved by simply sliding the fastener 10. In addition, the cut-back portion 20 is provided between the edge of the front wall 3A and the edge of the side wall (left side wall 3B), so that the strength of the corners of the wall is improved and self-supporting properties are enhanced.

[0025] The material of the case body (walls) is not limited, but by forming it from a hard material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, EVA, ABS, or other resin, or a composite material of these, the shape retention is increased. Therefore, when the case body 1A is made to stand on its own, it is less likely to deform under its own weight, and the stability is improved. Note that stability is not impaired even if the upper part from the bending start position P is formed from a soft material such as nylon fiber, and the lower part is formed from the hard material.

[0026] It is also preferable to provide reinforcing boards harder than the lower part of the case body on both sides of the cut-back portion 20. By providing reinforcing boards in this manner, the rigidity is increased (resistance to distortion) and shape retention is further improved. In particular, in this embodiment, the wall portion is configured to have a substantially rectangular cross section, and the cut-back portion 20 is provided between the front wall portion 3A and the left side wall portion 3B, so that the substantially rectangular hard board 30 and the substantially triangular hard board 31 are combined.

[0027] This increases the rigidity of the underside of the case body 1A (resistance to distortion), improves shape retention and self-supporting properties, and the fastener 10 can be formed along the inclined side 31a of the roughly triangular hard board 31, allowing smooth opening and closing of the fastener 10. The shape of the hard board 31 can be appropriately modified depending on the arrangement of the fastener 10.

[0028] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified in various ways. The fishing rod case 1 described above may be provided with various storage compartments and various members for easy handling in the case body 1A. For example, in the embodiment shown in the figure, a belt-shaped member 40 is attached to the upper end wall 3E of the case body 1A, connecting the left side wall 3B and the right side wall 3C. Also, a handle 41 is attached to the middle part of the back wall 3D.

[0029] By attaching such a belt-shaped member 40 and a handle 41, the fishing rod case 1 can be easily lifted and carried. Alternatively, a shoulder belt (not shown) may be attached so that the fishing rod case 1 can be easily carried over the shoulder. Alternatively, the case body 1A may be configured to have an appropriate reinforcing member (wire member or the like) to improve the overall strength.

[0030] Also, storage pockets may be provided on the left and right side walls. Such storage pockets can be formed, for example, by sewing or welding a deformable sheet material or a resin board (opening and closing cover) to the surface of the side walls. By providing storage pockets in this way, it becomes possible to store various tackles, reels, etc. Also, storage pockets may be provided inside the case body 1A.

[0031] The shape (cross-sectional shape) of the side wall 3 can be appropriately modified. For example, the cross-sectional shape can be a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, or a combination of these. The cross-sectional shape can be changed in the vertical direction. Therefore, the bending angle of the turning part 20 is not limited to approximately 90°, and can be appropriately modified.
