Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing rod case that is carried when fishing and that houses a fishing rod, and a protector used for such a fishing rod case. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, anglers may use multiple fishing rods when fishing on rocks, reefs, boats, surf, breakwaters, etc., and may carry these fishing rods in a fishing rod case. It is preferable for such fishing rod cases to protect the fishing rods stored inside, and for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a fishing rod case in which a sheet with a concave and convex shape is attached to the periphery of the main body of the fishing rod case, thereby improving the protective performance of the fishing rods stored inside. In addition, Patent Document 2 discloses a fishing rod case in which a protruding protector is formed on the periphery of the main body of the fishing rod case, thereby mitigating impacts on the fishing rods stored inside and protecting the fishing rods.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP2004-154005 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 11-235144 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The fishing rod case disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has a circular cross section of the case body, so there is a small surface area that can be leaned against a rock, and there is a possibility that it may tip over. In addition, the fishing rod cases disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 and 2 have an uneven multi-faceted sheet attached to the periphery of the case body, and protruding protective equipment is integrally formed on the outer surface of the case body, so depending on the rocky area where it is used, it cannot be leaned against or placed stably, and problems such as tipping over or rolling (falling into the sea) may occur. Furthermore, since the above-mentioned unevenness is formed on the outer surface of the case body, repeated use may cause the uneven parts to become damaged or deteriorated, and the fishing rod case may not be able to fully function as a fishing rod case.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod case in which the case body will not tip over or roll regardless of the conditions of the fishing spot where it is used, and a protector for use with such a fishing rod case. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The fishing rod case of the present invention comprises a case body in which a fishing rod is housed, and a protector which is detachably attached to at least one or more arbitrary positions on the case body and has a plurality of protrusions, the case body being provided with fixing portions at intervals along the longitudinal direction to fix the protector, and the protector being provided with a detachable portion which is detachably fixed to any of the fixing portions.

[0007] In the fishing rod case of the above configuration, the protector having multiple protrusions can be detachably fixed at any position, so the fishing rod case can be leaned up or placed regardless of the fishing spot conditions, and can be stably maintained in that state. In addition, since one or more protectors can be fixed at any position in the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod case, it is possible to arrange the protector in the optimal position according to the fishing spot conditions.

[0008] In addition, the present invention is a fishing rod case that can be attached and detached to any position on the case body of the fishing rod case in which the fishing rod is stored. The protector has a detachable part for fixing, the protector being a bendable sheet-like member having a plurality of protrusions formed on its surface, and is characterized in that the protector can be wrapped around the surface of the case body and fixed tightly by the detachable part.

[0009] Such a protector can be fixed at any position on the fishing rod case by the detachable part, so there is no need to form uneven or protruding protective equipment on the fishing rod case, and it is possible to fix the protector in the optimal position. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, a fishing rod case in which the case body will not tip over or roll regardless of the conditions of the fishing spot where it is used, and a protector for use with such a fishing rod case are obtained. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] Hereinafter, the configuration of one embodiment of a fishing rod case according to the present invention and a protector that is detachably attached to the fishing rod case will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 6. 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 vertical direction (longitudinal direction) is defined as the horizontal direction.

[0013] 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.

[0014] 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.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Further, a fastener 10 is provided in the vertical direction on the wall 3, which extends from one end toward the tray 5 and terminates at the tray 5 to open / close the storage section. The fastener 10 is disposed between an edge of the front wall 3A and an edge of the left side wall 3B, It is disposed so as to extend from the upper end region (upper end wall portion 3E) of case body 1A toward tray 5. Therefore, by pinching operating piece 11 of fastener 10 and moving it downward, wall portion 3 (between the edge of front wall portion 3A and the edge of left side wall portion 3B) opens, and the storage portion is opened.

[0017] The fastener 10 is disposed so as to extend linearly downward from midway in the longitudinal direction of the case body 1A (the bending start position) while crossing the left side wall 3B, and to wrap around the left side wall 3B and terminate at approximately the middle of the tray 5. That is, when operating the fastener 10 of this embodiment, the operating piece 11 is pinched and moved approximately vertically from the upper end wall 3E side of the case body 1A toward the tray 5 side, and at the bending start position on the lower end side, it is displaced from the front wall 3A to the left side wall 3B side, and then moved linearly as it wraps around the left side wall 3B.

[0018] A protector 20 having a plurality of protrusions 22 is detachably fixed at at least one or more arbitrary positions on the case body 1A of the above-mentioned fishing rod case 1. For this reason, the case body 1A is provided with a plurality of fixing parts 7A to 7D at intervals along the longitudinal direction to fix the protector 20, and the protector 20 is provided with a detachable part 30 that is detachably fixed to any one of the fixing parts 7.

[0019] In this embodiment, fixing parts 7A to 7D are provided at four locations at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of case body 1A. Each fixing part is configured to be provided in pairs in the same horizontal plane between the edge of front wall 3A and the edge of left side wall 3B, and between the edge of front wall 3A and the edge of right side wall 3C, and protector 20 is fixed to two locations, fixing part 7B, which is the second from the top, and fixing part 7D, which is the fourth from the top (bottom) (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

[0020] Each fixing part is, for example, configured in a ring-like shape by fastening both ends of a band-shaped member to the case body 1A. The detachable part 30 is configured in a band-like shape with one end fastened to the sheet-like member 20A of the protector 20, and a hook-and-loop fastener is disposed on its inner surface. This allows the protector 20 to be detachably fixed to any position of the case body 1A by inserting the band-shaped detachable part 30 into the opening of any one of the fixing parts 7A to 7D configured in a ring-like shape and fastening the hook-and-loop fastener as it is.

[0021] As described above, the protector 20 with multiple protrusions 22 can be attached at any position according to the fishing spot conditions (such as the surface shape of the rocks), preventing the leaning fishing rod case 1 from falling over. In addition, even if the fishing rod case 1 is placed sideways, it is difficult for it to roll, so the fishing rod case can be prevented from moving, such as falling into the sea. Furthermore, since the fishing rod case 1 is prevented from falling or rolling over, damage to the case main body 1A (damage to the fishing rods housed inside) can be prevented.

[0022] Next, the protector 20 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The protector 20 of this embodiment includes a sheet-like member (main body) 20A made of a flexible material (e.g., rubber, silicone rubber, soft resin, etc.) and a plurality of protrusions 22 made of an elastic material (e.g., foamed resin material, etc.) on the surface of the sheet-like member 20A. Therefore, the sheet-like member 20A is bendable, and can be wrapped around and fixed closely to the surface of the case main body 1A of the fishing rod case 1 (see Figs. 1, 2, and 6).

[0023] As shown in Fig. 4, the sheet-like member 20A has a generally elongated elliptical shape that is long in the horizontal direction, and the detachable portions 30 are provided on both sides. This allows the protector 20 to be easily wrapped around the surface of even a fishing rod case that has an inner diameter, and In addition, when the protector 20 is not used, the surface without the protrusions 22 (the back surface) can be placed on the ground, a cooler box, or the seat of a boat to serve as a cushion, preventing pain in the buttocks when sitting down.

[0024] The size, bulging shape, arrangement, shape of each of the plurality of protrusions 22, etc. are not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, they are configured as follows.

[0025] A plurality of vertical grooves 21a-21f are formed in the sheet-like member 20A, and the plurality of protrusions 22 are formed on both sides of the vertical grooves 21a-21f along the vertical direction (up-down direction). In this embodiment, six vertical grooves 21a-21f are formed in the vertical direction, and protrusions 22 are formed on both sides of each groove.

[0026] In Figures 4 and 5, for each convex portion formed by six vertical grooves, the group of convex portions formed vertically in the central portion is shown as the first convex portion 22A, the group of convex portions formed on both sides of that is shown as the second convex portion 22B, the group of convex portions formed on both sides of that is shown as the third convex portion 22C, and the group of convex portions formed on both sides of that is shown as the fourth convex portion 22D.

[0027] In this way, when forming the multiple convex parts, by forming multiple vertical grooves, the sheet-like member 20A can be easily curved along the outer surface of the fishing rod case, and can be easily wound around the case body 1A in close contact. It is preferable that the sheet-like member 20A is formed to a size that covers the entire circumference of the case body 1A. Since the entire circumference is covered by the protector 20 in this way, it is possible to handle it without worrying about the placement position when moving or using it. Alternatively, it may be configured to cover only a part of the circumference. For example, as in this embodiment, it may be configured to cover three sides of the case body 1A that has a substantially rectangular cross section (see FIG. 1). This makes it possible to avoid covering the wall portion on which the fastener is provided, and it becomes possible to operate (move) the fastener with the protector attached.

[0028] In addition, the sheet-like member 20A of this embodiment is formed with a plurality of (two) horizontal grooves 21g, 21h, and the vertically aligned convex portions (the first convex portion 22A, the second convex portion 22B, the third convex portion 22C, and the fourth convex portion 22D) are further divided in the vertical direction by the horizontal grooves. That is, the sheet-like member 20A is formed with a total of 21 convex portions by the vertical grooves and horizontal grooves.

[0029] By forming the lateral grooves in this way, the number of protrusions can be increased, increasing the contact area with the rocks or ground, improving friction, and the fishing rod case can be more effectively prevented from falling or rolling because a wider area can easily come into contact with the unevenness of the rocks. Also, each protrusion 22 can be easily displaced in the horizontal and vertical directions, effectively coming into contact with the unevenness of the rocks, effectively preventing damage to the fishing rod case.

[0030] The plurality of protrusions 22 may all be configured to have a uniform height, or may include some having different heights, as shown in FIG. Typically, the surface of rocky areas and the like is uneven, so if the heights of the protrusions vary, the degree of adhesion to the uneven surface can be increased, making it more effective at preventing the fishing rod case from falling over or rolling around.

[0031] In this case, it is preferable that the convex portions having different heights are formed on both sides of the vertical grooves 21a to 21f. Specifically, in the configuration shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, when the rear surface of the sheet-like member 20A is used as a reference, the height H1 of the first convex portion 22A, which is the center in the horizontal direction, is formed to be lower than the height H3 of the second convex portions 22B on both sides thereof. Also, the height H3 of the second convex portion 22B is formed to be higher than the height H2 of the third convex portion 22C and the fourth convex portion 22D on both sides thereof. It is formed into.

[0032] In this way, by forming the height H1 of the first convex portion 22A low and the height H2 of the second convex portions 22B on both sides thereof high, as shown in FIG. 6, when the protector 20 is wrapped around the case body 1A, the curvature makes it possible to make the heights of the contacting portions of the convex portions uniform or nearly uniform (nearly aligned with the same plane PL), making it easier to stabilize the fishing rod case when placed on a surface or when leaned against something.

[0033] It is also preferable that at least one of the plurality of protrusions 22 has a chamfer 25 formed at a corner thereof. By forming the chamfer 25 in this manner, the first convex portion 22A and the second convex portion 22B can come into contact (or surface contact) at multiple points (two or more points) on the same surface PL, which increases stability and prevents tipping or rolling. In addition, since the corners are not edged, the corners of the convex portion 22 will not be damaged and the appearance will not be impaired.

[0034] Furthermore, the case body 1A may be provided with various members for easy handling. For example, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, 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. A handle 41 is attached to the middle part of the back wall 3D, and shoulder belt attachment parts 42 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the handle 41.

[0035] By providing such belt-shaped member 40, handle 41, and shoulder belt attachment portion, the fishing rod case 1 can be easily lifted and carried. In this configuration in which another object is provided on the case body 1A, it is preferable that at least one of the multiple protrusions 22 of the protector 20 wrapped around the case body 1A is formed so as to be higher than the height of the handle 41 or the attachment portion 42 of the shoulder belt.

[0036] By configuring it in this manner, the protector 20 is higher than the handle 41 and the shoulder belt attachment part 42 described above, and it can be handled without worrying about the placement position when moving (for example, when placing it in a car, etc.).

[0037] 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 configuration and cross-sectional shape of the case body 1A of the fishing rod case 1 described above can be modified as appropriate. In addition, the method of attaching the protector 20 to the case body 1A can be modified as appropriate, for example, by using a hook-and-loop fastener exposed on the surface, and the configuration and installation positions of the fixing parts 7A to 7D can also be modified as appropriate. Furthermore, the shape, material, shape and arrangement of the convex parts and grooves of the sheet-like member 20A of the protector 20 can also be modified as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
