Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, since the receivers disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 support the rear end portion of the fishing rod near the elbow, they can be applied to a fishing rod that a user holds at the mounting portion of the reel, like a fishing rod with a reel attached. However, it is difficult to apply them to a fishing rod having a grip portion that a user holds at the rear end portion, such as a long fishing rod for river fishing, for example, a fishing rod for ayu fishing.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod auxiliary tool capable of reducing the burden on the hand holding the grip portion provided at the rear end portion of the fishing rod.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The fishing rod auxiliary tool of the present invention has the following configuration.

[0008] (1) An annular main body portion fixed to the wrist (for example, main body portion 10), and a rod receiving portion (for example, rod receiving portion 20) fixed to the main body portion and forming an insertion port (for example, insertion port 20a) that extends along the central axis of the main body portion and into which the rear end portion of the fishing rod can be inserted. The fishing rod auxiliary tool is characterized by comprising these.

[0009] According to (1), when the user holds the grip portion of the fishing rod, by inserting the rear end portion of the fishing rod into the insertion port, the rear end portion of the fishing rod is supported at the portion straddling the wrist. Thereby, it becomes possible to disperse the load applied to the wrist, and it becomes possible to reduce the burden on the wrist and arm when holding a long fishing rod for a long time or when a large fish is hooked. In this way, it is possible to provide a fishing rod auxiliary tool capable of reducing the burden on the hand holding the grip portion provided at the rear end portion of the fishing rod.

[0010] (2) In (1), the main body portion (for example, main body portion 10) is a belt-like member wound around the wrist (for example, belt-like member 11), and surface fasteners (for example, surface fasteners 12) attached to both ends of the belt-like member and capable of connecting and disconnecting both ends of the belt-like member. A fishing rod accessory, comprising a pair of band members (for example, band member 13) each having a base end portion attached to both end portions of the strip member and a tip end portion that can be connected and disconnected from each other.

[0011] According to (2), the strip member can be fixed to the wrist by winding the strip member around the wrist, moving the strip member in the circumferential direction to determine the position of the rod receiving portion, and then connecting both end portions by a hook-and-loop fastener. In this state, by connecting the pair of band members, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of an event in which the hook-and-loop fastener peels off and the fishing rod accessory comes off the wrist. [Advantages of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a fishing rod accessory that can reduce the burden on the hand holding the grip portion at the rear end portion of the fishing rod. [Brief Description of the Drawings]

Figure 3

[0014] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically using preferred embodiments. However, the following embodiments are merely examples embodying the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a fishing rod accessory 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view of the fishing rod accessory 1.

[0016] [Configuration of Fishing Rod Accessory 1] The fishing rod accessory 1 includes a main body part 10 and a rod receiving part 20.

[0017] The main body part 10 includes a belt-like member 11 to be wound around the wrist, surface fasteners 12 attached to both ends of the belt-like member 11, a pair of band members 13, a connecting fitting 14, and passing fittings 15, 15.

[0018] The belt-like member 11 is made of leather, thick cloth made of nylon, etc., and has a length that wraps around the wrist more than once. According to this embodiment, the size of the belt-like member 11 is set to a width of 5 cm and a length of 240 cm.

[0019] The surface fastener 12 has a hook part 12a in which fine hook-shaped fibers are arranged on a rectangular sheet surface, and a loop part 12b in which fine ring-shaped fibers are arranged on a rectangular sheet surface. The hook part 12a is attached to the back side of one end of the belt-like member 11. The loop part 12b is attached to the front side of the other end of the belt-like member 11. By overlapping the hook part 12a and the loop part 12b, the ring-shaped fibers and the hook-shaped fibers engage with each other, the hook part 12a and the loop part 12b are connected, and the belt-like member 11 becomes annular.

[0020] The pair of band members 13 includes a band member 13a whose base end is attached to the front side of one end of the belt-like member 11 and whose tip extends along the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member 11 to one end side of the belt-like member 11, and a band member 13b whose base end is attached to the front side of the other end of the belt-like member 11 and whose tip extends along the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member 11 to the other end side of the belt-like member 11. As an example, the size of the band member 13a is a width of 2 cm and a length of 6 cm, and the size of the band member 13b is a width of 1.8 cm and a length of 12 cm.

[0021] The connecting fitting 14 is generally a fitting called a pin buckle and is attached to the tip of the band member 13a. The passing fitting 15 is a substantially rectangular annular member passed through the band member 13a. According to this embodiment, two passing fittings 15, 15 are passed through the band member 13a.

[0022] A plurality of holes through which the pins of the connecting fitting 14 are passed are formed at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the band member 13b at the tip of the band member 13b. By passing the holes of the band member 13b through the pins of the connecting fitting 14, the band member 13a and the band member 13b can be connected. Further, by changing the holes of the band member 13b passed through the pins of the connecting fitting 14, it is possible to adjust the length when the band member 13a and the band member 13b are connected. The tip of the band member 13b extending from the connecting fitting 14 is passed through the two through fittings 15, 15 so that the tip of the band member 13b follows the belt-like member 11.

[0023] The rod receiving portion 20 is made of a rectangular member of the same material as the belt-like member 11, and both ends of the rectangular member are sewn to the central portion on the front side of the belt-like member 11 in a state where the central portion of the rectangular member is curved.

[0024] Thereby, a cylindrical insertion port 20a surrounded by the surface of the central portion on the front side of the belt-like member 11 and the curved inner surface of the rod receiving portion 20 is formed. This insertion port 20a is oriented in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member 11, in other words, in a direction along the central axis when the main body portion 10 is formed into a ring shape. The insertion port 20a is set to a size into which the rear end portion of a long fishing rod for river fishing, for example, a fishing rod for a hera crucian carp, can be inserted.

[0025] Specifically, one end of the rod receiving portion 20 is sewn to a portion 9 cm from one end of the strip-shaped member 11 toward the central portion, and the other end of the rod receiving portion 20 is sewn to a portion 12 cm from the other end of the strip-shaped member 11 toward the central portion. The width of the rod receiving portion 20 is set to 3.8 cm, and the length of the rod receiving portion 20 is set such that the distance between the central portion in the curved state where the rod receiving portion 20 is sewn to the strip-shaped member 11 and the surface of the strip-shaped member 11 is 2.4 cm. Therefore, if the outer diameter of the grip portion of the fishing rod is about 2.4 cm, the rear end portion of the fishing rod can be inserted into the insertion opening 20a. Further, the strip-shaped member 11 and the rod receiving portion 20 have no stretchability but have flexibility. Therefore, if the outer diameter of the grip portion of the fishing rod is slightly larger than 2.4 cm, the rear end portion of the fishing rod can be inserted into the insertion opening 20a by bending the central portion of the strip-shaped member 11. Note that since the strip-shaped member 11 and the rod receiving portion 20 do not have stretchability, the movement of the rear end portion in the lateral direction is reduced.

[0026] [Usage method of the fishing rod assist tool 1] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the usage mode of the fishing rod assist tool 1. When attaching the fishing rod assist tool 1 to the wrist, first, as shown in FIG. 1, disconnect the connection of both ends of the strip-shaped member 11 by the hook-and-loop fastener 12 and keep the connection between the band member 13a and the band member 13b disconnected.

[0027] Next, bring the central portion on the back side of the strip-shaped member 11 into contact with the wrist so that the insertion opening 20a is disposed below the palm. Next, wind the strip-shaped member 11 around the wrist, connect the hook portion 12a and the loop portion 12b, and attach the strip-shaped member 11 to the wrist. Finally, connect the band member 13a and the band member 13b by passing the hole portion of the band member 13b through the pin of the connecting fitting 14. Thereby, the fishing rod assist tool 1 is attached to the user's wrist.

[0028] Then, as shown in FIG. 3, when the user holds the grip portion 110 of the fishing rod 100, the rear end portion of the fishing rod is inserted into the insertion port 20a. For example, immediately after attaching bait to the fishing hook and casting, or immediately after a fish hits, by slightly moving the rear end portion of the fishing rod toward the wrist side, the rear end portion of the fishing rod can be inserted into the insertion port 20a. Thereby, when the user holds the grip portion 110 of the fishing rod, the rear end portion of the fishing rod is supported on the wrist across the wrist joint, so that the load from the fishing rod is not concentrated on the wrist joint portion but is dispersed over the entire wrist.

[0029] For example, fishing rods for crucian carp range from as short as 6 shaku (about 180 cm) to as long as 30 shaku (about 900 cm), but are generally considered easy to handle for beginners if they are about 9 shaku (about 270 cm). Also, as an example, the original diameter of a fishing rod for crucian carp is set to about 7.5 mm if the length is about 9 shaku (about 270 cm), which is relatively thin. Therefore, the grip portion is made thicker to make it easier to handle. Generally, the diameter is about 2 - 3 cm, but the diameter of the rear end portion of the fishing rod is smaller than that. According to the present embodiment, since the distance between the central portion of the curved portion in the rod support portion 20 and the surface of the belt-like member 11 is set to about 2.4 cm, it is generally possible to insert the rear end portion into the rod support portion 20 for a fishing rod for crucian carp.

[0030] In addition, when the rear end portion of the fishing rod is thick, the degree of connection of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 is adjusted so that the diameter of the belt-like member 11 becomes slightly larger, and the central portion of the belt-like member 11 forming the insertion port 20a is made bendable, thereby enlarging the insertion port 20a. Thereby, it becomes possible to insert the rear end portion of the fishing rod into the rod support portion 20.

[0031] [Operational Effects] According to this embodiment configured as described above, since the rear end portion of the fishing rod is supported so as to straddle the wrist, it becomes possible to disperse the load applied to the wrist, and when holding a long fishing rod for a long time or when a large fish is hooked, it becomes possible to reduce the burden on the wrist and arm. Further, since the rod receiving portion 20 is located near the rear end portion of the fishing rod, it becomes possible to easily insert the rear end portion of the fishing rod into the rod receiving portion 20 when a fish is hooked.

[0032] Also, after winding the belt-like member 11 around the wrist and determining the position of the rod receiving portion 20, the belt-like member 11 can be fixed to the wrist by connecting both end portions with the hook-and-loop fastener 12. Further, in this state, by connecting the pair of band members 13, it is possible to prevent the hook-and-loop fastener 12 from peeling off and the fishing rod assist tool 1 from coming off the wrist.

[0033] As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, although the rod receiving portion 20 of the above-described embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape, it is not limited thereto and may be in a bag shape. Thereby, it is possible to regulate the rear end portion of the fishing rod from entering the rod receiving portion 20 more than necessary. Further, although the rod receiving portion 20 of the above-described embodiment has a cylindrical shape with the same thickness, it is not limited thereto and may be in a funnel shape with a large insertion-side opening and a small opposite-side opening. Thereby, it becomes possible to smoothly insert the rear end portion of the fishing rod into the rod receiving portion 20.

[0034] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the range that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.
