Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a reel seat for securing a fishing reel, and a fishing rod including such a reel seat. [Background technology]

[0002] To connect a fishing reel to the body of a fishing rod, a reel seat capable of securing the reel is connected to the rod body. The reel seat can have a pipe-shaped seat body into which the rod body is inserted. The seat body is connected to the rod body and has a fixed hood for securing one of the reel legs and a male thread portion formed on the other end facing the fixed hood. A movable hood for securing the other of the reel legs is connected to the seat body so as to be movable in the axial direction of the rod body, and the fixed hood and the movable hood clamp the respective reel legs to secure the reel.

[0003] Referring to Fig. 1, a fishing rod 10 according to the prior art includes a reel 11 including reel legs, a reel seat 12 that clamps the reel legs to secure the reel 11, and a rod body 13 that passes through the reel seat 12. The reel seat 12 includes a seat body 121 and a movable hood 122. Referring to Fig. 2, the seat body 121 includes an attachment body 121a that clamps one end of the reel legs of the reel (reel 11 in Fig. 1), a cylindrical portion 121b through which the rod body (rod body 13 in Fig. 1) is inserted, and a grip body 121c that is fastened to surround the outside of the cylindrical portion 121b.

[0004] 3, which is an enlarged view of region A in FIG. 2, the fixed hood 123 of the attachable body (e.g., the attachable body 121a in FIG. 2) includes an opening HP into which one end of a reel leg is inserted, and the angle aa formed by the imaginary plane VP on which the entrance of the opening HP is formed and the upper contour line 123L of the inclined shape of the fixed hood 123 is approximately perpendicular. Due to this angle aa, when one end of the reel leg is connected to the fixed hood 123, an unevenness is formed between the reel and the reel seat, which can cause a fisherman to feel a foreign object or discomfort when holding the reel seat, resulting in a poor grip.

[0005] Therefore, to allow the angler to grip the fishing rod comfortably, it is required to minimize the unevenness between the reel leg and the reel seat. For example, it is required that the opening (HP) of the fixed hood (123) and the connecting part where the reel leg is connected form a continuous curved surface.

[0025] In one embodiment, the fixed hood portion has an opening edge portion extending from the seating portion to form an opening through which the first leg of the reel is inserted, and an inner surface extending from the opening edge portion to cover the first leg, the opening edge portion being located on a first imaginary plane inclined at an acute angle to the seating portion, and a first imaginary line bisecting the inner surface along a central axis formed in the longitudinal direction of the reel seat and the first imaginary plane meeting at an obtuse angle. Therefore, the reel seat according to one embodiment can be gripped comfortably without giving a strange sensation to the angler's fingers.

[0026] According to one embodiment, the opening edge portion includes a pair of first opening edge portions spaced apart from each other based on a central axis extending from the seating portion and formed in the longitudinal direction of the reel seat, and a second opening edge portion connecting the pair of first opening edge portions, each of the pair of first opening edge portions having a first inner edge line that is linear toward the central axis, and the second opening edge portion having a second inner edge line that is formed in a semicircular shape, and the edge depth, which is defined by the length of a third imaginary line connecting the midpoint of a second imaginary line connecting the intersections of the pair of first inner edge lines and the second inner edge line, has a specific ratio to the edge width, which is defined by the length of the second imaginary line. This reduces the foreign body sensation felt by the angler's fingers when gripping along the fixed hood portion, improving the grip.

[0027] According to one embodiment, the fixed hood includes an inclined wall between each of the pair of first opening edge portions and the mounting portion, and the inclined wall has a constant thickness, and the thickness at the boundary between the inclined wall and the mounting portion is within a certain range. This reduces the discomfort felt by the angler's fingers gripping along the first opening edge portion due to the difference in level between the reel legs and the fixed hood.

[0028] According to one embodiment, the seat body is integrally formed using a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin with low density and high tensile strength, which allows the portions that come into contact with the index and middle fingers to be thin, and the seat body to be light in weight, improving the ability to transmit fish bites to the angler.

However, omission of a description of a component does not imply that such a component is not included in a certain embodiment.

[0039] Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a reel seat (1000) according to one embodiment. Fig. 5 is a side view showing a fishing rod (2000) including the reel seat (1000) of Fig. 4 with a reel (2300) attached. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing a seat body (1100) according to one embodiment, including an auxiliary plane for explaining the angles between the components of the fixed hood. Fig. 7 is a side view showing the seat body (1100) shown in Fig. 6. Please refer to Figs. 4 to 7.

[0040] The fishing rod (2000) includes a rod body (2100) having an elongated shape that can be elastically deformed during fishing. The fishing rod (2000) may include one rod body or multiple rod bodies. The rod body may be a pipe-shaped part or a cylindrical part.

[0041] The fishing rod 2000 includes a reel seat 1000 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The reel seat 1000 can be coupled to the rod body 2100. The reel seat 1000 securely supports a reel onto which fishing line is wound. A fisherman can grip the reel seat 1000 with one hand and operate the reel with the other. Thus, the reel seat 1000 can function as a component for coupling the reel to the rod body and as a component for the fisherman to grip. The reel 2300 has a first leg 2310 and a second leg 2320 extending forward (FD) and rearward (RD), respectively. The reel seat 1000 releasably secures the first leg 2310 and the second leg 2320 of the reel, allowing the reel to be detachably coupled to the reel seat 1000.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 5, in a fishing rod according to one embodiment, the reel (2300) may be a spinning reel, but the reel attached to the reel seat is not limited to a spinning reel. The spinning reel may be attached to the underside of the reel seat (1000). Therefore, in FIGS. 4 to 7, the upper side may be one side of the reel seat to which the reel (2300) is attached. In addition, the reel seat (1000) may be configured such that a portion thereof moves from rear to front to secure one of the reel legs (see, for example, FIGS. 5 and 19), or such that a portion thereof moves from front to rear to secure one of the reel legs (see, for example, FIG. 24).

[0043] Referring to Figure 4, the reel seat 1000 includes a seat body 1100 that functions as the main body of the reel seat 1000. An angler can grip a portion of the seat body 1100. The first leg 2310 and the second leg 2320 of the reel are seated on the upper side of the seat body 1100, and the seat body 1100 secures the first leg 2310. The reel seat 1000 includes a movable hood 1200 that secures the second leg of the reel to the seat body 1100. The movable hood 1200 is movably connected to the seat body 1100.

[0044] In one embodiment of the reel seat (1000), the seat body (1100) functions to attach the reel seat (1000) to the fishing rod body (2100) and to support the reel (2300). A portion of the seat body (1100) can be gripped by the angler's fingers, and the remaining portion of the seat body (1100) can be connected to the movable hood (1200).

[0045] 4 and 5, the seat body 1100 has a pipe shape. The seat body 1100 can be divided into a male thread portion 1131, an attachment body 1111, a cylindrical portion 1112, and a grip body 1113. The attachment body 1111 can be formed to surround the cylindrical portion 1112 in the circumferential direction CD of the central axis CA. The attachment body 1111 can be gripped by the angler's fingers. The cylindrical portion 1112 extends rearward from the attachment body 1111. The grip body 1113 is fitted to the front end of the cylindrical portion 1112 along the central axis CA. The grip body 1113 is connected to the fishing rod body 2100. The outer periphery of the grip body 1113 is formed so as to have no step within a predetermined range relative to the outer periphery of the attachment body 1111.

[0046] The adhesive body 1111 has a seat 1121. The seat 1121 forms a portion of the upper surface of the adhesive body 1111 (or a portion of the upper surface of the sheet body) along the central axis CA. For example, referring to FIG. 6, the seat 1121 may include a pair of surfaces formed on the upper side of the adhesive body along the central axis CA.

[0047] The attachment body 1111 has a fixed hood portion 1122 located at the front end of the mounting portion 1121. The fixed hood portion 1122 faces the movable hood 1200 along the central axis CA. The fixed hood portion 1122 may be formed as a wedge-shaped groove at the front end of the mounting portion 1121. When the reel is attached to the seat body 1100, the first leg 2310 of the reel is inserted into and fitted into the fixed hood portion 1122. The fixed hood portion 1122 secures the first leg 2310 to the mounting portion 1121. Referring to FIG. 6, the fixed hood portion 1122 includes an opening edge portion 1125 extending from the mounting portion 1121 to form an opening 1130 through which the first leg 2310 of the reel is inserted. 7, the fixed hood portion (1122) includes an inner surface (1124) that extends from the opening edge portion (1125) toward the inside of the opening (1130) and covers the first leg. The fixed hood portion (1122) includes an outer surface (1123) that extends from the opening edge portion (1125) toward the outside of the opening (1130) and is formed on the opposite side of the inner surface (1124). The fixed hood portion (1122) includes a closed end portion (1126) formed at the boundary where the inner surface (1124) and the seating portion (1121) meet.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 4 or 5, the attachment body 1111 includes a first protrusion 1140 forming the rear end of the attachment body 1111. When an angler grips the attachment body 1111 of the seat body, the angler's palm may come into contact with the first protrusion 1140. The first protrusion 1140 is located on the opposite side of the seating portion 1121 with respect to the central axis CA and is formed in the circumferential direction CD of the central axis. The first protrusion 1140 is located below the seating portion 1121 with respect to the central axis CA. The first protrusion 1140 also protrudes in the outer radial direction OD of the central axis CA. Specifically, the first protrusion 1140 protrudes in the outer radial direction OD relative to the cylindrical portion 1112.

[0049] The male thread portion 1131 and the pair of guide grooves 1132 function as parts for connecting the movable hood 1200 to the seat body 1100. The male thread portion 1131 has a threaded shape within a predetermined range, and a non-threaded portion formed on the outer periphery of the male thread portion 1131 forward of the thread end. The male thread portion 1131 is connected to the movable hood 1200. The pair of guide grooves 1132 extend along the central axis CA from the rear end of the seat body, passing through the male threads 1131, to the attachment body 1111. The pair of guide grooves 1132 guide the movement of the movable hood 1200 along the central axis CA. The pair of guide grooves 1132 face each other across the central axis CA. The cylindrical portion 1112 includes a first bore 1114 that can be connected to the rod body 2100. The first bore 1114 may be formed to surround the cylindrical outer periphery of the rod 2100. The first bore 1114 may have a constant circumference along the central axis CA. The radius of the first bore 1114 (e.g., radius 1114R in FIG. 15) may be determined by the distance from the central axis CA to the inner periphery of the first bore 1114.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 4, the grip body 1113 includes a second bore 1116, a third bore 1117, and a notched edge 1118. The second bore 1116 is fitted to the cylindrical portion 1112 along the central axis CA. The second bore 1116 may be formed by cutting out a portion of the grip body 1113 surrounding the second bore 1116. The third bore 1117 is coupled to the rod body 2100 of the fishing rod 2000 along the central axis CA. The third bore 1117 communicates with the second bore 1116. The notched edge 1118 corresponds to a corner formed by cutting out a portion of the outer circumferential surface surrounding the second bore 1116. The notched edge 1118 is formed to expose the second bore 1116.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 4, the movable hood 1200 is movably coupled to the seat body 1100 along the central axis (CA). Specifically, the movable hood 1200 is movably coupled to the male thread portion 1131. The movable hood 1200 can be moved along the male thread portion 1131 by a screw action. The movable hood 1200 includes a nut 1211 that causes the screw action and a movable body 1212 that can move along the central axis (CA) by the nut 1211. The nut 1211 and the movable body 1212 are formed in a ring shape, and the male thread portion 1131 penetrates the nut 1211 and the movable body 1212. The nut 1211 is screw-coupled to the male thread portion 1131 of the cylindrical portion 1112 so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction (CD) of the central axis (CA). The nut (1211) has a female thread on its inner periphery. The female thread and the male thread portion (1131) mesh with each other, and the nut (1211) is movably coupled to the cylindrical portion (1112) by a threading action. As the nut (1211) rotates in the circumferential direction (CD), the threading action between the female thread and the male thread portion (1131) allows the nut (1211) to move backward or forward as it rotates.

[0052] The nut (1211) is connected to the movable body (1212) so as to be rotatable relative to the circumferential direction (CD). The movable body (1212) is shaped so as to cover and press against the second leg of the reel. The movable body (1212) is movable in the axial direction (AD) along the central axis (CA) but does not rotate in the circumferential direction (CD). In other words, the movable body (1212) is guided by the guide groove (1132) of the male thread portion (1131) so as to move only along the central axis (CA).

[0053] 4 and 5, the movable body 1212 includes a movable hood portion 1240 and a housing portion 1250. The movable hood portion 1240 may form a portion of the upper and front portions of the movable body 1212. The housing portion 1250 is located on the opposite side of the movable hood portion 1240 in the vertical direction (VD). The housing portion 1250 may form a portion of the lower and front portions of the movable body 1212.

[0054] The movable hood portion 1240 may extend forward and be shaped to cover the second leg 2320 of the reel 2300. The movable hood portion 1240 may be shaped to roughly correspond to the shape of a truncated cone bisected in its axial direction. As the movable body 1212 is moved toward the fixed hood portion 1122 by the nut 1211, the movable hood portion 1240 presses and fixes the second leg against the seating portion 1121 of the attachment body 1111.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the movable body 1212 may further include a reinforcing cover 1270 that engages with the movable hood portion 1240 to reinforce the movable hood portion 1240. The reinforcing cover 1270 is configured to cover the outer surface of the movable hood portion 1240 of the movable hood 1200 along the central axis (CA) and in the circumferential direction (CD) of the central axis. This allows the reinforcing cover 1270 to prevent deformation of the movable hood portion 1240 of the movable hood. The reinforcing cover 1270 may be made of a metal material. For example, the metal material of the reinforcing cover may be titanium, which is lightweight and high-strength. As another example, the metal material of the reinforcing cover may be stainless steel or aluminum, which has a decorative finish. Since the reinforcing cover 1270 made of a metal material covers the movable hood portion 1240, the movable hood 1200 has a decorative and luxurious feel. The reinforcing cover 1270 may be formed by pressing a metal plate. The reinforcing cover 1270 made of a metal material may have both elasticity and rigidity. Therefore, the reinforcing cover 1270 may be connected to the movable hood portion 1240 by pressing the reinforcing cover 1270 toward the movable hood portion 1240 to snap the reinforcing cover 1270 into place.

[0056] The receiving portion 1250 is located on the opposite side of the movable hood portion 1240 in the vertical direction (VD). For example, the receiving portion 1250 is located below the movable hood portion 1240. Assuming the movable body 1212 has a truncated cone shape, the receiving portion 1250 can be formed in a shape corresponding to the truncated cone shape cut out to leave the movable hood portion 1240. Thus, the receiving portion 1250 can be formed as a space below the movable hood portion 1240. Thus, the movable hood 1200 includes the movable hood portion 1240, which presses and fixes the second leg to the mounting portion 1121, and the receiving portion 1250, which is located below the movable hood portion 1240 in the vertical direction (VD) and is formed as a space below the movable hood portion 1240. The movable hood portion 1240 and the receiving portion 1250 share a common edge in the circumferential direction (CD).

[0057] 4, the first protrusion 1140 of the seat body and the receiving portion 1250 of the movable body have complementary shapes. As the movable hood 1200 moves toward the fixed hood portion 1122 to secure the second leg, the movable hood portion 1240 of the movable body 1212 intersects with the first protrusion 1140 along the central axis CA, and the first protrusion 1140 is received in the receiving portion 1250. As a result, when the movable hood 1200 secures the second leg, a portion of the movable hood (e.g., the movable hood portion 1240) and a portion of the seat body (e.g., the first protrusion 1140) are positioned in the vertical direction VD, and the portion of the movable hood is positioned above the first protrusion 1140.

[0058] The first protrusion 1140 faces the receiving portion 1250 along the central axis CA. The receiving portion 1250 is recessed relative to the first protrusion 1140. Therefore, when the movable hood 1200 moves toward the fixed hood portion 1122 and presses and fixes the second leg against the seating portion 1121, the first protrusion 1140 is inserted and fitted into the receiving portion 1250, and the receiving portion 1250 can receive the first protrusion 1140.

[0059] According to one embodiment, the seat body (1100) of the reel seat is integrally formed by injection molding. The seat body (1100) may be integrally molded from a thermoplastic resin so that the grip body (1113) fits into the cylindrical portion (1112). As an example, the seat body (1100) may be integrally formed using a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin. The carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin has a lower density and higher tensile strength than commonly used glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resins. As an example, a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin having a grade of PA12-CF30(L7) is used as the material for forming the seat body (1100). The material properties of such a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin may include a tensile strength of 270 MPa, a flexural strength of 340 MPa, a flexural modulus of 17,000 MPa, and a Charpy notch impact strength of 22 kJ / m. 2 the deflection temperature under load may be 178°C and the density may be 1.16 g / cm 3 It could be.

[0060] For example, the seat body of a reel seat may be integrally formed using glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin with a grade of PA66-GF30. The material properties of such glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin include a tensile strength of 140 MPa, a flexural strength of 215 MPa, a flexural modulus of 6,800 MPa, and a Charpy notch impact strength of 16 kJ / m. 2 the deflection temperature under load may be 262°C and the density may be 1.37 g / cm 3 The seat body of the reel seat of one embodiment is made of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, which has a lower density and higher tensile strength than glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin. Therefore, the seat body of one embodiment can have a thinner wall in the portion that comes into contact with the angler's fingers, thereby reducing the weight.

[0061] 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the seating portion (1121) may be flat to stably seat the first and second legs of the reel. Specifically, the seating portion (1121) is formed within the seating surface (1121P). The opening edge portion (1125) is formed in an inverted U-shape based on the seating portion (1121). The opening edge portion (1125) is formed to surround at least a portion of the opening (1130). The opening edge portion (1125) is formed within a first imaginary plane (VP1). The opening edge portion (1125) is formed to slope upward from the seating portion (1121). The first imaginary plane (VP1) on which the opening edge portion (1125) is formed forms a predetermined angle (a2) with the seating surface (1121P). The first imaginary plane (VP1) meets the seating surface (1121P) at an acute angle. The first imaginary plane (VP1) is formed to be inclined at an angle of 15 to 25 degrees with respect to the seating surface (1121P). Preferably, the first imaginary plane (VP1) is formed to be inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the seating surface (1121P). By forming the first imaginary plane (VP1) to be inclined within this angle range with respect to the seating surface (1121P), the foreign body sensation felt by the angler's fingers can be reduced, thereby improving the grip feeling.

[0062] A second imaginary plane (VP2) is formed perpendicular to the seating surface (1121P) along the central axis (CA). The inner surface (1124) extending from the opening edge portion (1125) toward the seating portion (1121) and into the opening (1130) is bisected by the second imaginary plane (VP2). The inner surface (1124) is bisected by a first imaginary line (L1) where the second imaginary plane (VP2) and the inner surface (1124) intersect. The first imaginary line (L1) has a predetermined angle (a1) with the first imaginary plane (VP1). That is, the first imaginary line (L1) is formed so as to be inclined with respect to the first imaginary plane (VP1). The first imaginary line (L1) and the first imaginary plane (VP1) meet at an obtuse angle.

[0063] Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing a sheet body (1100) according to one embodiment for explaining the opening edge portion. Fig. 9 is a plan view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is a side view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing a sheet body (1100) according to one embodiment for explaining the inclined wall. Fig. 12 is a front view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 11. Please refer to Figs. 8 to 12.

[0064] 8 and 9, the opening edge portion 1125 has a pair of first opening edges 1125a. The pair of first opening edges 1125a are spaced apart from each other based on the central axis CA. The pair of first opening edges 1125a extend from one end that meets the seating portion 1121 on the first imaginary plane VP1 in a direction perpendicular to the line where the seating surface 1121P meets the first imaginary plane VP1. Each of the pair of first opening edges 1125a has a first inner edge line EL1 formed along the line where the first opening edge 1125a meets the inner surface 1124. The first inner edge line EL1 is linear.

[0065] The opening edge portion (1125) has a second opening edge portion (1125b). The second opening edge portion (1125b) is formed to connect a pair of first opening edge portions (1125a). The second opening edge portion (1125b) is connected to the other end of each first opening edge portion (1125a) formed on the opposite side of the one end. The second opening edge portion (1125b) has a curved shape on the first imaginary plane (VP1). The second opening edge portion (1125b) may have a semicircular shape. The second opening edge portion (1125b) has a second inner edge line (EL2) formed along the line where the second opening edge portion (1125b) meets the inner surface (1124). The second inner edge line (EL2) has a curved shape. When the reel seat is viewed in a plan view, the second inner edge line (EL2) is formed to surround a portion of the center axis (CA). For example, the second inner edge line (EL2) has a semicircular shape surrounding a portion of the central axis (CA). The second inner edge line (EL2) is connected to the first inner edge line (EL1) at an intersection point (1125c). The semicircular shape of the second inner edge line (EL2) is tangent to the pair of first inner edge lines (EL1) at the intersection point (1125c). The intersection points (1125c) are formed in pairs. Specifically, the first inner edge line (EL1) and the second inner edge line (EL2) are continuously connected. The second inner edge line (EL2) has a midpoint (1125p) that bisects the length of the second inner edge line (EL2).

[0066] 9, the edge width (EW) is defined as the length of the second virtual line (L2) connecting the pair of intersections (1125c). The edge depth (ED) is defined as the length of the third virtual line (L3) connecting the midpoint of the second virtual line (L2) connecting the pair of intersections (1125c) to the midpoint (1125p) of the second inner edge line (EL2). The edge depth (ED) is the distance from the second virtual line (L2) connecting the pair of intersections (1125c) to the midpoint (1125p) of the second inner edge line (EL2). The edge depth (ED) is 0.45 to 0.55 times the edge width (EW). Preferably, the edge depth (ED) is 0.5 times the edge width (EW). By having the edge depth (ED) be within the above range relative to the edge width (EW), the grip feeling can be improved by reducing the stress felt by the angler's fingers when holding the reel seat.

[0067] 10, the sum of the length (L4) of one of the pair of first opening edge portions (1125a) and the length (L5) of the second opening edge portion (1125b) on the side view of the reel seat is longer than the length of the first imaginary line (L1). That is, the length of the opening edge portions (1125) on the side view of the reel seat is longer than the length of the first imaginary line (L1).

[0068] 9 to 12, the fixed hood portion 1122 includes an inclined wall 1127 formed between each of the pair of first opening edge portions 1125a and the seating portion 1121. The inclined wall 1127 has a hypotenuse 1127a that includes one of the pair of first inner edge lines EL1. The inclined wall 1127 has a base 1127b formed at the boundary between the fixed hood portion 1122 and the seating portion 1121. The inclined wall 1127 has a constant thickness (ww). Preferably, the thickness (ww) of the inclined wall 1127 is within a range of 2 mm to 3 mm. More preferably, the thickness (ww) of the inclined wall 1127 may be 2.5 mm. By having the inclined wall 1127 have the above thickness (ww), sufficient tensile strength can be ensured while providing a reel seat with a sharp appearance. In addition, by reducing the thickness of the fixed hood portion (1122), when the first leg of the reel is inserted into the opening (1130), the step between the fixed hood portion (1122) and the first leg is reduced, improving the grip felt by the angler's fingers holding the reel seat.

[0069] Figure 13 is a side view of a portion of a fishing rod including a reel seat according to one embodiment. Figure 14 is a side view of the seat body (1100) of the reel seat shown in Figure 13. Figure 15 is a front view of the reel seat shown in Figure 13. The following description will refer to Figures 13 to 15.

[0070] As described above, the seat body 1100 may include the male thread portion 1131, the attachment body 1111, the cylindrical portion 1112, and the grip body 1113. The attachment body 1111 includes a first protrusion 1140 that forms the rear end of the attachment body 1111. The attachment body 1111 further includes a second protrusion 1150 that forms the side and front ends of the attachment body 1111. The second protrusion 1150 extends from the first protrusion 1140 along the central axis CA. The second protrusion 1150 forms the fixed hood portion 1122 together with the seat portion 1121. The first protrusion 1140 has a first outer circumferential surface 1141. The first protrusion 1140 has a first radius 1141R. The first radius (1141R) is defined as the distance from the central axis (CA) to the first outer circumferential surface (1141). The radius (1114R) of the first bore (e.g., the first bore (1114) in FIG. 12) may be in the range of 0.59 to 0.71 times the first radius (1141R). Preferably, the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) may be 0.65 times the first radius (1141R). The above ratio of the first radius (1141R) to the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) allows the reel seat to be most easily gripped, taking into account the range and length ratio of a typical angler's palm and fingers.

[0071] The notched edge 1118 of the grip body 1113 is formed to be complementary to the edges of the first protrusion 1140 and the second protrusion 1150 of the attachment body 1111. The notched edge 1118 of the grip body 1113 is formed by cutting out a portion of the grip body surrounding the second bore (e.g., the second bore 1116 in FIG. 4 ) in a shape complementary to the edges of the first protrusion 1140 and the second protrusion 1150, and is formed to expose the second bore 1116. The grip body 1113 has a second outer circumferential surface 1115. The grip body 1113 has a second radius 1115R. The second radius 1115R is defined as the distance from the central axis CA to the second outer circumferential surface 1115. The second radius (1115R) is the same as the first radius (1141R). Specifically, the radius (1114R) of the first bore (e.g., the first bore (1114) in FIG. 12) may be in the range of 0.59 to 0.71 times the second radius (1115R). Preferably, the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) may be 0.65 times the second radius (1115R). The second radius (1115R) may be formed within the range of 10.0 mm to 14.5 mm. When the second radius (1115R) is within this range, a reel seat having the thickness most easily grippable based on the average palm and finger length of an angler can be designed. On the assumption that the second radius (1115R) is formed within the range of 10.0 mm to 14.5 mm, if the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 6.0 mm to 8.0 mm, it is preferable that the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) be in the range of 0.59 to 0.65 times the second radius (1115R), and if the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 8.0 mm to 10.0 mm, it is preferable that the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) be in the range of 0.65 to 0.71 times the second radius (1115R).

[0072] Fig. 16 is a plan view for explaining the length ratio between the components of a sheet body (1100) according to one embodiment. Fig. 17 is a side view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 16. Fig. 18 is a front view of the sheet body (1100) shown in Fig. 16. Please refer to Figs. 16 to 18.

[0073] As described above with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the opening edge portion 1125 has a pair of first opening edge portions 1125a and a second opening edge portion 1125b connecting the pair of first opening edge portions 1125a. Each of the pair of first opening edge portions 1125a has a first inner edge line EL1 formed along the line where the first opening edge portion 1125a meets an inner surface (e.g., inner surface 1124 in FIG. 10). The second opening edge portion 1125b has a second inner edge line EL2 formed along the line where the second opening edge portion 1125b meets the inner surface 1124. The semicircular shape of the second inner edge line EL2 is tangent to the pair of first inner edge lines EL1 at intersection points 1125c. The intersection points 1125c are formed in pairs. The edge width (EW) is limited to the length of the second imaginary line (L2) connecting the pair of intersections (1125c). Furthermore, as described above with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15, the first protrusion (1140) has a first outer peripheral surface (1141). The first protrusion (1140) has a first radius (1141R). The first radius (1141R) is defined as the distance from the central axis (CA) to the first outer peripheral surface (1141). The edge width (EW) may be in the range of 1.18 to 1.42 times the first radius (1141R). Preferably, the edge width (EW) may be 1.3 times the first radius (1141R).

[0074] Considering the thickness of the reel legs of commonly used spinning reels, the edge width (EW) can be formed within the range of 14.5 mm to 17.0 mm. The reel used with a fishing rod is selected based on the radius (e.g., radius (1114R) in Figure 14) of the first bore (e.g., first bore (1114) in Figure 12). Therefore, assuming that the edge width (EW) is formed within the range of 14.5 mm to 17.0 mm, if the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 6.0 to 8.0 mm, it is preferable that the edge width (EW) be in the range of 1.30 to 1.42 times the first radius (1141R), and if the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 8.0 mm to 10.0 mm, it is preferable that the edge width (EW) be in the range of 1.18 to 1.30 times the first radius (1141R).

[0075] 16 to 18, the fixed hood portion (1122) includes an inclined wall (1127) formed between each first opening edge portion (1125a) and the seating portion (1121). The inclined wall (1127) has a certain height (1127H). The height (1127H) of the inclined wall (1127) is limited to the distance from the seating portion (1121) to the intersection point (1125c). The height (1127H) of the inclined wall (1127) may be in the range of 0.19 to 0.27 times the first radius (1141R).

[0076] In order to design the height (1127H) of the inclined wall (1127) to approximate the height of the reel legs of a commonly used spinning reel, the height (1127H) can be formed within the range of 2.1 mm to 3.6 mm. The reel used with the fishing rod is selected based on the radius (e.g., radius (1114R) in FIG. 14) of the first bore (e.g., first bore (1114) in FIG. 12). Therefore, assuming that the height (1127H) of the inclined wall (1127) is formed within the range of 2.1 mm to 3.6 mm, if the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 6.0 mm to 8.0 mm, it is preferable that the height (1127H) be in the range of 2.1 mm to 2.3 mm or in the range of 0.19 to 0.21 times the first radius (1141R). If the radius (1114R) of the first bore (1114) is formed within the range of 8.0 mm to 10.0 mm, it is preferable that the height (1127H) be in the range of 3.3 mm to 3.6 mm or in the range of 0.25 to 0.27 times the first radius (1141R).

[0077] Figure 19 is a side view of a portion of a fishing rod according to an embodiment, showing an example of a fisherman gripping the reel seat with a reel attached to the reel seat according to an embodiment. Figure 20 is a bottom view of the portion of the fishing rod shown in Figure 19. Figure 21 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 20-20 in Figure 19. Please refer to Figures 19 to 21.

[0078] In one embodiment, the reel seat is designed so that the length ratio and / or dimensional ratio between each component included in the reel seat is within the aforementioned range, thereby reducing the step between the first leg 2310 and the fixed hood portion 1122 of the attachment body 1111. This allows the fingers (e.g., the angler's index finger in FIGS. 19-21) gripping the fixed hood portion 1122 of the reel seat and the first leg 2310 of the reel 2300 to naturally grip the reel seat, thereby allowing the angler to maintain a comfortable grip while fishing. The angler's thumb is positioned on the outer periphery of the grip body 1113, supporting a more natural grip on the reel seat 1000. Next, referring to FIG. 21, the inclined wall 1127 of the fixed hood portion 1122 may have a curved outer surface that is continuous with the rounded outer periphery of the grip body 1113. This further improves the grip that the angler feels while holding the reel seat (1000).

[0079] Fig. 22 is a side view of a seat body (1100') according to another embodiment. Fig. 23 is a front view of the seat body (1100') shown in Fig. 22. Please refer to Figs. 22 and 23.

[0080] The seat body 1100' includes all the same components as the seat body 1100 according to the embodiment described above with reference to Figures 4 to 21, except for the components described below. The seat body 1100' has an attached body 1111'. The attached body 1111' includes a first protrusion 1140' forming the front end of the attached body 1111'. When a fisherman grips the attached body 1111' of the seat body, the angler's palm may come into contact with the first protrusion 1140'. The first protrusion 1140' is formed in the circumferential direction CD of the central axis CA. The first protrusion 1140' has a first outer circumferential surface 1141'. The first protrusion 1140' has a first radius 1141R'. The first radius (1141R') is defined as the distance from the central axis (CA) to the first outer circumferential surface (1141'). The attachment body (1111') further includes a pair of inclined protrusions (1144). The pair of inclined protrusions (1144) are located on opposite sides of the first protrusion (1140) with respect to the central axis (CA). The pair of inclined protrusions (1144) are arranged adjacent to the boundary of the movable hood portion (e.g., movable hood portion (1240) in FIG. 4) of the movable hood (e.g., movable hood (1200) in FIG. 4). The pair of inclined protrusions (1144) are formed to protrude upward from the seat (1121') (e.g., seat (1121) in FIG. 4). Each of the pair of inclined protrusions (1144) has an inclined protrusion height (1144H). The height (1144H) of the inclined protrusions is limited to the distance from the seat (1121') to the apex of each inclined protrusion (1144). The height (1144H) of the inclined protrusions may be in the range of 0.06 to 0.10 times the first radius (1141R'). In this case, the radius (1114R') of the first bore (1114') is preferably formed in the range of 6.0 mm to 10.0 mm. Figure 24 is a side view of a portion of a fishing rod according to one embodiment, showing an example of a fisherman gripping a reel seat with a reel attached to the reel seat having a seat body according to another embodiment. Please refer to Figure 24.

[0081] The reel seat 1000' according to another embodiment shown in Figure 24 is a so-called down-lock type reel seat in which the movable hood portion 1240' is disposed on the front side of the reel seat. The orientation of the components included in the reel seat 1000' can be understood by reversing the front-to-back orientation of the components of the reel seat according to the previous embodiment. By designing the length ratio and / or dimensional ratio between each component included in the reel seat 1000' to be within the above-mentioned range, the step between the legs of the reel 2300 and the movable hood portion 1240' and the inclined protrusion portion 1144 of the attachment body 1111' can be reduced. This allows the angler's fingers (e.g., the angler's index finger in FIG. 24) that grip the movable hood portion 1240' of the reel seat, the inclined protrusion 1144 of the attachment body 1111', and the leg of the reel 2300 to naturally grip the reel seat, allowing the angler to maintain a comfortable grip while fishing. The angler's thumb is positioned on the first protrusion 1140' of the attachment body 1111', which supports a more natural grip on the reel seat 1000'.

[0082] Although the technical idea of ​​the present disclosure has been described above by way of some embodiments and examples shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that various substitutions, modifications, and alterations can be made without departing from the technical idea and scope of the present disclosure, which would be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains. Furthermore, such substitutions, modifications, and alterations should be considered to fall within the scope of the appended claims. [Explanation of symbols]
