Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a telescopic fishing rod consisting of multiple rods. [Background technology]
[0002] A telescopic fishing rod is a rod in which multiple rod shafts that make up the rod can be stored in a base rod tube, and when in use, each rod is extended in order from the rod shaft at the tip to form a single connected fishing rod. Generally, in a telescopic fishing rod, even if each rod is stored in the base tube, because there is a fishing line guide provided near the tip of each rod, not all of the rods fit into the base tube, and the tip ends of the rods where the fishing line guides are provided protrude from the tip of the base tube. For this reason, when a telescopic fishing rod is carried with multiple rods stored in a butt tube, external forces such as impacts and bending may be applied to the rods protruding from the tip of the butt tube, causing them to break or be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the butt tube and the tips of the rods protruding from the tip of the butt tube from external forces acting on them to prevent them from breaking or being damaged. To solve this problem, in a telescopic fishing rod, when multiple rods are stored in the butt tube, there is conventionally a protective cover that covers the multiple rods protruding from the tip of the butt tube and is fixed to the butt tube to protect only the rods protruding from the tip of the butt tube (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-173021 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] However, although such a protective cover can cover each rod protruding from the tip of the main rod, the protective cover is only fixed to the main rod by a belt-shaped fixing portion on the protective cover, and the protective cover cannot be firmly fixed to the main rod. Therefore, although the tip of each rod protruding from the tip of the main rod tube can be protected from the outside, when an external force is actually applied, the protective cover can come off or the fixing parts can become loose, resulting in the problem of multiple rods stored in the main rod tube being damaged. The present invention has been made in consideration of these problems, and aims to provide a telescopic fishing rod that can prevent damage to the rods due to external forces when multiple rods are stored in the telescopic fishing rod. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The present invention has been made to solve at least part of the above-mentioned problems, and can be realized as the following application examples. Note that the reference symbols and supplementary explanations in parentheses in this section indicate correspondence with the embodiments described below in order to aid in understanding the present invention, and do not in any way limit the present invention.
[0006] [Application example 1] The invention described in Application Example 1 is as follows: A telescopic fishing rod in which a plurality of rods (11-18) each having a fishing line guide are connected in a telescopic manner, a grip portion (20) in which the tip portions of the plurality of rods (11 to 18) are stored with projecting ends and which is held by a user; a cover portion (30) that covers the tip portions of the plurality of rods (11 to 18) that protrude from the tip of the grip portion (20) when the tip portions of the plurality of rods (11 to 18) are stored in the grip portion (20); Equipped with The grip portion (20) includes a first connecting portion (21) for connecting to the cover portion (30) at the protruding tip end of each of the plurality of rods (11 to 18), The telescopic fishing rod (1) is characterized in that the cover portion (30) is provided with a second connecting portion (31) for connecting to the first connecting portion (21).
[0007] In such a telescopic fishing rod (1), the rods (11-18) each having a fishing line guide are stored in the grip portion (20) with their tips protruding. The rods (11-18) with their tips protruding from the grip portion (20) are covered by the cover portion (30). At this time, the cover portion (30) is directly connected to the grip portion (20) by connecting the second connecting portion (31) of the cover portion (30) to the first connecting portion (21) of the grip portion (20).
[0008] Therefore, when the rods (11-18) are housed in the grip portion (20) and the cover portion (30) is connected to the grip portion (20), no external force is directly applied to the rods (11-18).
[0009] In other words, even when the telescopic fishing rod (1) is transported with the multiple rods (11-18) stored in the grip part (20) and the cover part (30) connected to the grip part (20), the multiple rods (11-18) equipped with fishing line guides (11a-18a) will not be damaged by external forces.
[0010] [Application example 2] The telescopic fishing rod (1) according to Application Example 2 is the telescopic fishing rod (1) according to Application Example 1, The cover portion (30) has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and is provided with at least one groove portion (32) extending in the axial direction on the inner peripheral surface side.
[0011] In such a telescopic fishing rod (1), the cover part (30) can be connected to the grip part (20) by aligning the fishing line guides (11a-18a) provided on the multiple rod shafts (11-18) protruding from the tip of the grip part (20) with at least one groove part (32) provided in the axial direction on the inner surface of the cover part (30).
[0012] As a result, by forming the groove portion (32) in accordance with the size of the fishing line guide (11a-18a) of the rod (11-18), the body diameter of the cover portion (30) does not become larger than necessary than the body diameter of the grip portion (20). Therefore, when the cover portion (30) is joined to the grip portion (20), the fishing rod is integrated into one piece, making it easy to handle.
[0013] [Application example 3] The telescopic fishing rod (1) according to Application Example 3 is the telescopic fishing rod (1) according to Application Example 1, The cover portion (30) has a cylindrical shape with a bottom and is provided with at least one notch (33) extending in the axial direction on the side surface.
[0014] In such a telescopic fishing rod (1), the cover part (30) can be connected to the grip part (20) by aligning the fishing line guides (11a-18a) provided on the multiple rod shafts (11-18) protruding from the tip of the grip part (20) with at least one notch (33) provided in the axial direction on the inner surface of the cover part (30).
[0015] This allows the cover part (30) to be connected to the grip part (20) without the fishing line guides (11a-18a) of the rod interfering with the cover part (30), so that the body diameter of the cover part (30) does not become larger than necessary than the body diameter of the grip part (20). Therefore, when the cover portion (30) is joined to the grip portion (20), the fishing rod is integrated into one piece, making it easy to handle.
[0016] [Application example 4] The telescopic fishing rod (1) according to Application Example 4 is the telescopic fishing rod (1) according to any one of Application Examples 1 to 3, The grip portion (20) has a third connecting portion (22) at the end opposite to the end having the first connecting portion (21), which can be connected to the second connecting portion (31) of the cover portion (30).
[0017] In such a telescopic fishing rod (1), the cover part (30) can be connected to the end of the grip part (20) opposite the first connecting part (21) by connecting the cover part (30) removed from the first connecting part (21) of the grip part (20) to the third connecting part (22).
[0018] This eliminates the need for a place to store the removed cover portion (30), and eliminates the risk of losing the cover portion (30) or being unable to quickly attach the cover portion (30) when needed.
[0019] Furthermore, because the cover portion 30 is connected to the opposite end of the grip portion 20, the grip portion 20 is extended in the axial direction by the axial length of the cover portion 30. Therefore, when a user uses the fishing rod, the range of the handle portion of the fishing rod is expanded, making it easier for the user to use the fishing rod. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments, and various forms may be adopted as long as they fall within the technical scope of the present invention.
[0022] [First embodiment] The configuration of a telescopic fishing rod 1 will be described with reference to Figures 1, 2, and 3. Figure 1 is a front view showing the general appearance of a telescopic fishing rod 1. Figure 2 is a front view showing the general appearance of a state in which a cover part is connected to the end of the grip part opposite the end from which the rod part is pulled out. Figure 3 is a three-view diagram showing the general appearance of the cover part (Figure 3(a) is a front view, Figure 3(b) is a left side view, and Figure 3(c) is a plan view).
[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, the telescopic fishing rod 1 includes a rod portion 10, a grip portion 20, and a cover portion 30. The rod section 10 includes eight rods 11 to 18, which are assembled in a so-called telescopic manner. The rods 11 to 18 are constructed in a known manner.
[0024] That is, each of the rods 11 to 18 constituting the rod section 10 is formed in a tapered shape as a whole, and is formed so that the outer diameter of the rear end is larger than the outer diameter of the front end. Also, the rear end diameter of the rod 11 is set larger than the front end diameter of the rod 12. This allows the rod 11 to be stored inside the rod 12 so that it can be freely pulled out.
[0025] The same applies to the relationship between rod 12 and rod 13, the relationship between rod 13 and rod 14, the relationship between rod 14 and rod 15, the relationship between rod 15 and rod 16, the relationship between rod 16 and rod 17, and the relationship between rod 17 and rod 18.
[0026] The rods 11 to 18 are made of carbon FRP, but may also be made of other materials such as glass fiber, boron, or bamboo. Furthermore, at the tip of each rod 11 to 18, an annular fishing line guide 11a to 18a is attached for threading the fishing line.
[0027] Grip portion 20 has a cylindrical shape and is made of metal such as aluminum alloy, but may also be made of various FRPs, etc. It also has the function of storing rod portion 10, and has first connecting portion 21 at the end where rod portion 10 is stored and pulled out, and third connecting portion 22 at the end opposite thereto.
[0028] The first connecting portion 21 has a cylindrical shape with an external thread and its body diameter is formed to be smaller than the body diameter of the grip portion 20, and the third connecting portion 22 has a cylindrical shape with the same length and body diameter as the first connecting portion 21 and has the same external thread as the first connecting portion 21.
[0029] The cover part 30 is a part that covers the tip parts of the rods 11 to 18 that constitute the rod part 10 and protrude from the tip of the grip part 20 when the rod part 10 is stored in the grip part 20, and is made of metal such as aluminum alloy. Also, as shown in Fig. 3, the cover part 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and a female thread that fits into the male thread cut in the first coupling part 21 is cut on the inner circumferential surface of the end opposite to the end having the bottom of this cylindrical shape.
[0030] (How to use telescopic fishing rod 1) Next, a case where the telescopic fishing rod 1 is used will be described.
[0031] When fishing using the telescopic fishing rod 1, the cover part 30 is removed from the grip part 20 and the removed cover part 30 is connected to the opposite end part of the grip part 20. Then, each of the rod rods 11 to 18 protruding from the tip of the grip part 20 is sequentially extended to form a single rod.
[0032] When storing the rods 11 to 18 and moving the location, the extended rods 11 to 18 are stored in the grip part 20 one by one, the cover part 30 is removed from the grip part 20, and the removed cover part 30 is attached to the grip part 20 so as to cover the tip parts of the rods 11 to 18 protruding from the tip of the grip part 20.
[0033] (Features of telescopic fishing rod 1) In such a telescopic fishing rod 1, when each of the rods 11 to 18 that make up the rod section is stored in the grip section 20, the tip of each of the rods 11 to 18 protrudes from the tip of the grip section 20 because fishing line guides 11a to 18a are provided at the tip of each of the rods 11 to 18.
[0034] Even in such a case, the cover portion 30 is connected to the grip portion 20 so as to cover the tip end of each rod 11 to 18 protruding from the tip of the grip portion 20, thereby preventing each rod 11 to 18 from being damaged by external forces.
[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, when using the telescopic fishing rod 1, the cover portion 30, which is connected to the grip portion 20 by the first and second connecting portions so as to cover the tip end of each rod shaft 11 to 18, is removed, and the removed cover portion 30 is connected to the third connecting portion 22 at the end opposite to the end having the first connecting portion 21 of the grip portion 20 using the second connecting portion 31, thereby extending the axial length of the grip portion 20 by the length of the cover portion 30.
[0036] Therefore, the range of the part where the user can hold the telescopic fishing rod 1 is expanded by the amount of the length of the grip portion 20 being extended, making the fishing rod easier for the user to use.
[0037] [Second embodiment] Next, a telescopic fishing rod in a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Note that the telescopic fishing rod in the second embodiment is a modification of the telescopic fishing rod 1 in the first embodiment in that only the shape of the cover portion 30 is changed, and therefore only the cover portion 40 will be described, and descriptions of other portions will be omitted. Fig. 4(a) shows a front view, Fig. 4(b) shows a left side view, and Fig. 4(c) shows a plan view.
[0038] As shown in FIG. 4, the cover part 40 in the second embodiment has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, similar to the cover part 30 in the first embodiment, and has a groove part 32 formed in the axial direction at one location on the inner peripheral surface thereof.
[0039] The cross-sectional shape of the groove 32 in a cross section perpendicular to the axis of the cover 40 is such that the largest of the fishing line guides 11a-18a of each rod fits into it. Therefore, when the cover 40 is attached to the grip 20, the fishing line guides 11a-18a of each rod fit into the groove 32.
[0040] (Features of the telescopic fishing rod in the second embodiment) In such a telescopic fishing rod, when the cover portion 40 is attached to the grip portion 20, the fishing line guides 11a to 18a provided on each rod shaft 11 to 18 are fitted into the grooves 32 provided in the cover portion 40.
[0041] In this way, the fishing line guides 11a to 18a are inserted into the grooves 32 provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cover portion 40, and the cover portion 40 is attached to the grip 20 without the fishing line guides 11a to 18a being pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the cover portion 40 and bending.
[0042] Therefore, it is no longer necessary to determine the diameter of the body of cover portion 40 in accordance with the size of fishing line guides 11a to 18a. Therefore, the diameter of cover portion 40 can be made smaller, and when cover portion 40 is attached to grip portion 20, a sense of unity as a fishing rod is created, making it easier to handle as a fishing rod.
[0043] [Third embodiment] Next, a telescopic fishing rod in a third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Note that the telescopic fishing rod in the third embodiment is a modification of the telescopic fishing rod 1 in the first embodiment in that only the shape of the cover portion 30 is changed, and therefore only the cover portion 50 will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted. Fig. 5(a) shows a front view, Fig. 4(b) shows a left side view, and Fig. 4(c) shows a plan view.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 5, the cover portion 50 in the third embodiment has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, similar to the cover portion 30 in the first embodiment, and has a notch 33 in the axial direction at one location on the inner circumferential surface thereof. is provided.
[0045] The cover part 50 is coupled to the grip part 20 by the cutout 33 provided in the cover part 50, with the fishing line guides 11a to 18a of the rod projecting from the cover part 50 without being deformed such as bent.
[0046] (Features of the telescopic fishing rod in the second embodiment) In such a telescopic fishing rod, a notch 33 is provided in the axial direction of the circumferential surface of the cover part 50, so that when the cover part 50 is attached to the grip part 20, the fishing line guides 11a to 18a provided on each rod part 11 to 18 are aligned with the notch 33 provided in the cover part 50.
[0047] As a result, the fishing line guides 11a to 18a are positioned in the cutouts 33 provided in the cover portion 50, and the cover portion 40 can be attached to the grip 20 without the fishing line guides 11a to 18a being pressed against the inner surface of the cover portion 40 and being bent.
[0048] Therefore, there is no need to determine the body diameter of the cover part 50 according to the size of the fishing line guides 11a to 18a, and the body diameter of the cover part 50 can be made smaller. When the cover part 50 is attached to the grip part 20, a sense of unity as a fishing rod is created, making it easier to handle as a fishing rod.
[0049] [Other embodiments] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can take various forms.
[0050] (1) In the above embodiment, the number of rods constituting the rod portion is eight, but the number is not limited to this. (2) In the above embodiment, a cylindrical shape was used as the shape of the grip portion 20, but a prismatic shape may be used as long as there is a cavity inside that can accommodate the rod portion 10, or the end portion having the second connecting portion of the grip portion 20 may be curved, such as U-shaped or R-shaped.
[0051] (3) In the above embodiment, in order to connect the second connecting portion 31 to the first connecting portion 21 and the third connecting portion 22, a female thread is provided on the second connecting portion 31 and a male thread is provided on the first connecting portion 21 and the third connecting portion 22. However, the second connecting portion 31 may be a male thread and the first connecting portion 21 and the third connecting portion 22 may be a female thread.
[0052] (4) In the above embodiment, a screw structure is used to connect the second connecting portion 31 to the first connecting portion 21 and the third connecting portion 22, but a fitting structure may also be used. (5) In the second embodiment, one groove 32 is provided in the axial direction on the inner circumferential surface of the cover portion 40, but multiple grooves 32 may be provided in the axial direction at different locations on the inner circumferential surface.
[0053] As a result, when the cover portion 40 is attached to the grip portion 20 using the second connecting portion 31 and the first connecting portion 21, it is no longer necessary to align the fishing line guides 11a to 18a provided at the tip portions of the multiple rods 11 to 18 protruding from the tip of the grip portion 20 on a certain axis and align them with the position of the groove portion 32.
[0054] (6) In the third embodiment, there is one notch 33 provided in the axial direction of the side surface of the circumferential surface of the cover portion 50, but multiple notches 33 may be provided in the axial direction at different locations on the side surface of the circumferential surface.
