[0025] As shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is an auxiliary part 1 for a fishing rod that is composed of a belly support member 4 having a storage part 2 with an opening 2a and a bottom part 3 with a through hole 3a, and a string-like member 5, and the storage part 2 is inserted with a fixture 10b attached to the rear end of the rod body 10a of the fishing rod 10, and the bottom 3 is formed at the end 2b of the storage part 2 on the opposite side to the opening 2a side, and is inserted into the through hole 3a. A recess 3b having a diameter (L) larger than the diameter (D) of the through hole 3a is formed on the outer surface 3c of the bottom 3 and is connected to the through hole 3a. The string-like member 5 is inserted through the through hole 3a and the storage section 2, with a first end 5a of the string-like member 5 engaged with the recess 3b (the manner of engagement will be described later), the string-like member 5 is inserted through the storage section 2, and the second end 5b of the string-like member 5 is exposed to the outside from the opening 2a side of the storage section 2.

[0026] According to the auxiliary part 1 for a fishing rod in one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide an auxiliary part for a fishing rod that can be used as an abdominal support member, and when a string-like member is provided to prevent the abdominal support member from falling off, the knot or the like does not interfere with the abdominal portion that is placed against the abdominal support member.

[0027] 2 and 3, in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second end 5b of the string-like member 5 is connected to the fishing rod body 10a or the fixture 10b (as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3). In this way, it is possible to configure the accessory so that it can be used as an abdominal support member, and when a string-like member is provided to prevent the abdominal support member from falling off, the knot or the like does not interfere with the abdominal part that is in contact with the abdominal support member.

[0028] 2, 3, and 4, in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface 2c of the storage part 2 expands in diameter in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the storage part 2 (or the fishing rod 10) from the opening 2a side toward the bottom 3 side, i.e., in the radial direction, when viewed in the extension direction of the storage part 2 (or the fishing rod 10). In this way, by increasing the area of ​​the surface that comes into contact with the abdomen (the rear end surface (bottom 3) of the storage part 2), it is possible to further reduce pain during operation.

[0029] 4, in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom part 3 is curved so as to protrude outward (outward) from the outer surface 3c of the bottom part 3. In this way, the area of ​​the surface that comes into contact with the abdomen (the rear end surface (bottom part 3) of the storage part 2) is increased, which makes it possible to further reduce pain during operation.

[0030] 4(c), in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the bottom part 2 in the extension direction of the storage part 2 (or the fishing rod 10) is greater than the thickness of the storage part 2 in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction (radial direction) of the storage part 2 (or the fishing rod 10). In this way, damage through the through-holes formed in the bottom part 2 is reduced, and since the thickness of the storage part 2 (the thickness of the side surfaces) is thinner than the thickness of the bottom part 2 (the thickness of the bottom surface), elastic deformation is facilitated, which makes it possible to reduce the likelihood of the fastener 10b attached to the rear end of the rod body 10a of the fishing rod 10 falling off the storage part 2 when it is attached (stored).

[0031] In the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the belly support member 4 is made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin), rubber, or elastomer. By making the belly support member 4 from an easily deformable elastic material, it is possible to further reduce pain when the surface that contacts the belly (the rear end surface (bottom 3) of the storage section 2) comes into contact with the belly.

[0032] 3, in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the accommodating part 2 is formed with a pressure-contact part 2d and a non-pressure-contact part 2e when viewed in the circumferential direction of the accommodating part 2, and the pressure-contact part 2d is configured to press the fastener 10b when the fastener 10b is attached (housed) in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1, and the string-like member 5 is configured to be inserted into a gap 2f between the non-pressure-contact part 2e and the fastener 10b. In this way, the fastener 10b can be more securely attached (housed) by being pressed by the pressure-contact part 2d, and the non-pressure-contact part 2e allows the string-like member 5 to be inserted into the accommodating part 2 by utilizing the gap 2f between the non-pressure-contact part 2e and the fastener 10b, and the provision of the non-pressure-contact part 2e makes it possible to expose the second end 5b of the string-like member 5 to the outside from the opening 2a side of the accommodating part 2.

[0033] Furthermore, in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the inner diameter of the pressure contact portion 2d is smaller by 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm than the outer diameter of the fixing device 10b at the position where it is pressed against the pressure contact portion 2d when the fixing device 10b is not housed in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1. In this way, the pressure contact portion 2d allows the fixing device 10b to be more securely pressed against and attached (housed) and also makes it easier to intentionally remove the fixing device.

[0034] Furthermore, in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is even more preferable if the inner diameter of the pressure contact part 2d is 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm smaller than the outer diameter of the fixing device 10b at the position where it is pressed against the pressure contact part 2d when the fixing device 10b is not housed in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1. In this way, the pressure contact part 2d allows the fixing device 10b to be more securely pressed against and attached (housed) and also makes it easier to intentionally remove the fixing device.

[0035] 4(d), in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the opening area (X) of the recess 3b in a cross section perpendicular to the extension direction of the storage part 2 (or the fishing rod 10) is 1.5 times or more the cross-sectional area (Y) of the through hole 3a in a cross section perpendicular to the extension direction of the storage part 2 (or the fishing rod 10). In this way, it is possible to reduce interference of the knot of the string-like member with the abdomen that is in contact with the abdomen support member.

[0036] As shown in Fig. 6, in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the recess 3b is formed by a plurality of steps (two steps in Fig. 6). In this way, it is possible to improve the design while preventing interference with the midsection of the knot of the string-like member. In addition, in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the through hole 3a is formed in the center of the bottom part 3. In this way, it is possible to prevent damage to the through hole.

[0037] 5, in the fishing rod auxiliary component 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plate 6 (as shown in FIG. 5) or a plug (not shown) is provided on the outer surface of the recess 3b. In this way, it is possible to reduce interference of the knot of the string-like member with the abdominal area that is in contact with the abdominal support member. As described above, the first end 5a of the string-like member 5 is engaged with the recess 3b of the bottom portion 3. However, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4(c), the engagement may be configured such that the first end 5a of the string-like member 5 is knotted to a diameter sufficiently larger than the diameter of the through-hole 3a and the knot is positioned in the recess 3b so that the first end 5a of the string-like member 5 does not slip out (detach) from the through-hole 3a. Alternatively, the first end 5a of the string-like member 5 may be attached to the end of the plate 6 shown in FIG. 5 so that the first end 5a of the string-like member 5 does not slip out (detach) from the bottom portion 3 to which the plate 6 is attached. The manner of locking is not limited to these specific manners.

[0038] In addition, in the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second end 5b of the string-like member 5 is attached to the fishing rod body 10a or the fixing device 10b directly (as shown in Figures 2 and 3), or via a hook-and-loop fastener or a fastener. In this way, the belly support member 4 of the fishing rod auxiliary part 1 can be connected to the fishing rod 10 via the string-like member 5, which makes it possible to prevent the belly support member 4 from becoming detached from the fishing rod 10 and being lost.

[0039] The dimensions, materials, and arrangement of each component described in this specification are not limited to those explicitly described in the embodiments, and each component can be modified to have any dimensions, materials, and arrangement that can be included in the scope of the present invention.
