Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a grip of a fishing rod and a fishing rod equipped with the same.

Background Art

[0002] In the inventor's opinion, there are various types of fishing, fishing methods, and fishing rods for fishing. There are various fishing methods for fishing, such as bottom fishing, float fishing, and fishing with artificial lures. Bottom fishing is a fishing method in which a light weight is attached, or using a needle, a sinker, or the weight of bait, etc., and feeling the change of the line, the rod, and the impact on the fingertips to catch fish. It is a so-called fish bite (in fishing, when a fish touches bait, etc., it is transmitted to the fishing rod, line, or float. It is about the impact). By lifting the fishing rod upward, it is a fishing method of hooking the needle with bait into the mouth of the fish, etc.

[0003] [[ID=–16]]And when catching this fish bite, the transmission to the fingertips is, for example, bait-attached needle → fishing line → rod core → fisherman's fingers, or bait-attached needle → fishing line → reel → fisherman's fingers. Furthermore, bait-attached needle → fishing line → guide of the rod core → rod core → grip of the rod core → reel seat → reel → fisherman's fingers, or bait-attached needle → fishing line → guide of the rod core → rod core → pipe seat, etc. (a reel seat for fixing the reel and a pipe-shaped base part integrated with the thickness of the rod core) → fisherman's fingers, etc.

[0004] Therefore, the role of a fishing rod used for fishing fish, etc. is, for example, depending on the type of fish to be caught, etc. and the fishing method, to lift the fishing rod by the movement of the rod tip by vision and / or the feeling transmitted from the fishing line with bait to the rod core and grip, and catch the fish, etc. (prey) hooked on the needle attached to the fishing line. From this, in addition to the movement of the rod tip, it is important that the feeling of fish, etc. preying on the bait attached to the needle or the artificial lure attached to the tip of the fishing line is transmitted to the fisherman's hand, etc., and the roles of the rod core, grip, or pipe seat, etc. become important.

[0005] Furthermore, we will examine the form of the fishing rod and its grip. For example, there are specific preferences and characteristics regarding the materials and the compatibility between the rod core and the grip. To elaborate individually below, most fishing rods are made of composite materials such as fiberglass and carbon. On the other hand, fishing rod grips include those with paint applied directly to the material, those with a textured finish or rubber coating for grip, those using cork, polyurethane foam, or foamed rubber for lightness and grip, and, rarely, grips made of natural materials such as bamboo.

[0006] Considering the above, we have conceived the present invention and propose its configuration.

[0007] To give an example of conventional literature, Patent Document 1 describes a configuration in which a cork grip is fitted onto the rod core. However, this invention involves constructing a solid cork grip on the rod core. However, with this type of cork grip structure, it is thought that vibrations from the rod tip, etc., are not easily transmitted to the handle, reel, etc. Furthermore, no descriptions of wooden grips other than cork have been found.

[0008] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 provides an example in which the grip is composed of multiple short cylindrical bodies (short cylindrical bodies of the present invention). However, this invention has a configuration in which the short cylindrical bodies are directly fitted onto a fiberglass pipe, and there is no space between the pipe and the short cylindrical bodies. Therefore, it is thought to have the same problems as Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0010] As mentioned above, a structure that "transmits vibrations from the rod tip and / or fishing line to, for example, a wooden grip" has not been seen before, starting with the patent document 1 that we have identified.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0037] In Figures 1 to 4-4, 1 is the core of fishing rod A, and this core 1 is made of metal, resin, or a combination of fiberglass, carbon fiber reinforced composite material, etc. It possesses the required strength and flexibility for fishing rod A. A grip 2 is provided at the handle portion 100 of this core 1.

[0038] Figures 2, 3-1(a), 3-2B, and 3-3(a) show that the grip 2, which is made of wood, metal, resin, or fiberglass / carbon fiber reinforced composite resin, is composed of multiple ring-shaped short tubes 200. The short tubes 200 will be explained using two examples: one shown in Figures 3-1(a) and 4-1, and two shown in Figures 3-2B and 4-2.

[0039] (One idea) In one design, the outer circumference 200a of a short pipe body 200 is cut in a ring shape (ring-shaped) insertion piece 201, either all around or in part, and an outer tube body 202 in a ring shape connected to the insertion piece 201. The inner surface 201a of the insertion piece 201 is recessed in the center, and the inner surface 202a of the outer tube body 202 is located outside the inner surface 201a. Therefore, the outer surface 201b of the insertion piece 201 is inserted into and supported by the inner surface 202a of the adjacent outer tube body 202 (for example, supported so as to be in close contact). Adhesion means such as adhesive 3, a retaining ring, or a fitting ring (not shown) are applied to this insertion support point to fix the two (adjacent short pipe bodies 200) together. This fixed state is shown in Figures 3-1(a) and (b). Figures 2 and 4-1(a) to (c) are schematic diagrams (perspective views) of the disassembled short pipe body 200. The outer surface 2a of the grip 2 is coated with paint, epoxy resin, urethane resin, or other solvents for aesthetic purposes, durability, salt damage prevention, and other purposes. However, the reel seat 2b and grip portion 2c of the grip 2 may not be coated with paint, epoxy resin, urethane resin, or other solvents for anti-slip and durability purposes. In the figure, 5 indicates the butt cap. This butt cap 5 is screwed into a threaded hole on the inner surface 1a of the base of the rod core 1. A ring-shaped space 6 is formed between the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1 and the inner circumferential surfaces 202a of each outer tube body 202 (the inner circumferential side 200b of each short tube body 200). To secure the space 6, the inner circumferential surfaces 201a of each insertion piece 201 are attached and supported to the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1, for example, so as to be in close contact. The required number of short tube bodies 200 are connected. Figure 7 is a cap located at the tip of the grip 2. It is ring-shaped. It is also possible to form a ring-shaped space 6 between the inner circumferential surface of the grip 2 or cap 7 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. This space 6 is not limited to the axial direction of the rod core 1, but can also be in the radial direction of the grip 2 or in other shapes, as shown in Figures 4-3 (a) and (b). Furthermore, as shown in the figure, the space 6 is not limited to a ring shape (ring), but can also be a hole shape or an axial slit shape. The rod core 1 in the diagram can accommodate one or more rod tips or intermediate rods (not shown in the diagram) (the same applies hereafter). In addition, the insertion piece 201 of the grip 2 prevents the wood from splitting in the example made of wood.

[0040] (Detailed explanation of one proposal) The grip 2 of fishing rod A related to the above proposal will be described in more detail using Figures 2A, 2B, 3-1, 3-4, 4-1, and 4-5.

[0041] The grip 2 of fishing rod A shown in Figures 2A and 2B is the part of fishing rod A that the angler holds. Fishing rod A has a rod core 1 which is the rod body of fishing rod A, a reel 10 for winding the fishing line, and the aforementioned grip 2.

[0042] The rod core 1 is used for fishing along with the fishing line, float, hook, etc., and is a rod-shaped member extending in the axial direction A1, as shown in Figure 3-1. The rod core 1 is composed of two parts, for example, a tip-side portion that protrudes from the grip 2, and a butt-side portion into which the grip 2 is fitted. The tip-side portion that protrudes from the grip 2 is made of a material with the necessary resistances and flexibility / elasticity for a fishing rod A, such as water resistance and torsional rigidity, for example, fiberglass. However, it is not limited to this. The tip-side portion can be made of a material that is moderately flexible, for example, carbon, or a composite material of fiberglass and carbon. The butt-side portion into which the grip 2 is fitted is made of a material that is harder than the material of the tip-side portion, for example, in order to fit the grip 2. However, it is not limited to this. This butt-side portion may be made of the same flexible material as the tip-side portion, or of other materials. The handle portion may be, for example, a carbon pipe formed from carbon. Furthermore, the handle portion may be integrally formed with the tip portion.

[0043] The reel 10 shown in Figure 2A is a component that holds the fishing line and adjusts the length of the fishing line hanging from the tip of the rod shaft 1 using a handle. The reel 10 has legs 10a and 10b for locking and securing it to the reel seat 2b of the grip 2.

[0044] As shown in Figure 3-1, the grip 2 is attached to the rod core 1 of the fishing rod A. The grip 2 comprises a tip-side cap 20 (crack prevention member), a cap 7 (first tube 200-1), a short tube 200 (second tube 200-2), a short tube 200 (third tube 200-3), a short tube 200 (fourth tube 200-4), a butt cap screw-in member 5-2, a butt cap 5, and a reel seat 2b. The cap 20, the first tube 200-1, the second tube 200-2, the third tube 200-3, the fourth tube 200-4, the butt cap screw-in member 5-2, and the butt cap 5 are arranged in that order along the axial direction A1, from the tip side to the handle side (from left to right in Figure 3-1).

[0045] The cap 20 (crack prevention member) is a component that makes up the tip end of the grip 2 (left side in Figure 3-1). The cap 20 is made of, for example, resin or metal. The cap 20 is attached to the insertion piece 201 of the first tube body 200-1, which is made of wood, thereby preventing the insertion piece 201 from cracking. The cap 20 may be made of a material other than resin or metal, as long as it can prevent the insertion piece 201 from cracking.

[0046] The first tube body 200-1 (cap 7) is fitted onto the base of the shaft core 1, as shown in Figures 3-1 and 4-5. The first tube body 200-1 is also positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 3-1) of the cap 20. The first tube body 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a through hole that penetrates in the axial direction A1. The first tube body 200-1 is made of, for example, wood, metal, resin, fiberglass, or carbon fiber reinforced composite resin. Preferably, the first tube body 200-1 is a wooden tube formed by carving hardwood, softwood, etc. Alternatively, the first tube body 200-1 may be a wooden tube formed by carving wood in a joined state, where hardwood, softwood, etc. are glued together. The first pipe body 200-1 has an outer pipe body 202 (first main body) and an insertion piece 201 (first insertion part).

[0047] The outer tube 202 of the first tube 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft core 1.

[0048] The insertion piece 201 of the first tube body 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the shaft core 1. As a result, the insertion piece 201 is supported by the shaft core 1, and consequently, the first tube body 200-1 is fitted onto and supported by the base of the shaft core 1. The insertion piece 201 protrudes from the outer tube body 202 in the axial direction A1. The insertion piece 201 is formed, for example, by cutting off a part of the outer circumference end of the outer tube body 202, so that its outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer tube body 202. A cap 20 is fitted onto this insertion piece 201. In one design, the first tube 200-1 is a wooden tube made of wood, so cracking of the first tube 200-1 is a problem. However, the cap 20 prevents cracking of the insertion piece 201, and consequently prevents cracking of the entire first tube 200-1.

[0049] The second tube 200-2 (short tube 200), as shown in Figures 3-1 and 4-1, is fitted onto the base of the shaft core 1 together with the first tube 200-1. The second tube 200-2 is also positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 3-1) of the first tube 200-1. The second tube 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a through hole that penetrates in the axial direction A1, similar to the first tube 200-1. The second tube 200-2 is formed from, for example, wood, metal, resin, fiberglass, or carbon fiber reinforced composite resin. Preferably, the second tube 200-2 is a wooden tube formed by carving hardwood, softwood, etc. Alternatively, the second tube 200-2 may be a wooden tube formed by carving wood in a joined state, where hardwood, softwood, etc. are glued together. The second pipe body 200-2 has an outer pipe body 202 (second main body) and an insertion piece 201 (second insertion part).

[0050] The outer tubular body 202 of the second tubular body 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft core 1.

[0051] The insertion piece 201 of the second tube body 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the shaft core 1. As a result, the insertion piece 201 is supported by the shaft core 1, and consequently, the first tube body 200-1 is fitted onto and supported by the base of the shaft core 1. The insertion piece 201 protrudes from the outer tube body 202 in the axial direction A1. The insertion piece 201 is formed, for example, by cutting off a part of the outer circumference end of the outer tube body 202, so that its outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer tube body 202. This insertion piece 201 is inserted into the outer tube body 202 of the first tube body 200-1.

[0052] The third tube 200-3 (short tube 200), together with the first and second tubes 200-1 and 200-2, is fitted onto the base of the shaft core 1. The third tube 200-3 is formed in the same shape as the second tube 200-2 and has an outer tube 202 and an insertion piece 201. The insertion piece 201 of the third tube 200-3 is inserted into the outer tube 202 of the second tube 200-2.

[0053] The fourth tube 200-4 (short tube 200), together with the first to third tubes 200-1 to 200-3, is fitted onto the base of the shaft core 1. The fourth tube 200-4 is formed in the same shape as the second and third tubes 200-2 and 200-3, and has an outer tube 202 and an insertion piece 201. The insertion piece 201 of the fourth tube 200-4 is inserted into the outer tube 202 of the third tube 200-3.

[0054] With this configuration, a space 6 is formed between the inner circumferential surface 202a of the outer tubular bodies 202 of the first to fourth tubular bodies 200-1 to 200-4 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the shaft core 1. The space 6 is divided into multiple spaces 6, specifically four spaces 6 in this design, by the insertion pieces 201 of the second to fourth tubular bodies 200-2 to 200-4.

[0055] The butt cap 5 has a male threaded surface, as shown in Figure 3-1. The butt cap 5 is positioned in the butt cap space formed at the handle end of the grip 2 (the right end in Figure 3-1). This butt cap space is defined by the inner surface of the butt cap screwing member 5-2, which is fitted into the fourth pipe body 200-4 and whose inner surface is formed as a female threaded surface. The butt cap 5 is screwed into and fixed to the butt cap screwing member 5-2, which is fitted into the fourth pipe body 200-4.

[0056] As shown in Figures 3-1(b), (c) and 3-4(a), the reel seat 2b is formed in a cylindrical shape with a through hole that penetrates in the axial direction A1. The reel seat 2b is, for example, a pipe-shaped component that secures the reel 10. The reel seat 2b comprises a reel seat body 2b3 and a reel seat cap 2b4. A locking piece 2b2 is formed on the reel seat body 2b3. The reel seat cap 2b4 is screwed or fitted onto the reel seat body 2b3 and has a locking piece 2b1 formed on it. The reel seat cap 2b4 has a rotating portion 2b4-1 that rotates in the rotational direction A2 and a non-rotating portion that does not rotate. As the rotating portion 2b4-1 rotates in the rotational direction A2, the entire reel seat cap 2b4 moves back and forth in the axial direction A1. This causes the space between the locking piece 2b1 and the locking piece 2b2 to widen or narrow. The reel seat 2b is fitted onto the outer circumference of at least one of the outer tubes 202 of the first to fourth tubes 200-1 to 200-4. The reel seat 2b is formed from, for example, a single material. The reel seat 2b is formed from, for example, resin. The legs 10a and 10b of the reel 10 are locked to the locking pieces 2b1 and 2b2 of the reel seat 2b, as shown in Figure 2A. In this way, the reel seat 2b supports the reel 10.

[0057] As explained above, in the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to one proposal, as shown in Figures 2A and 3-1, a space 6 is formed between the inner surface 202a of the outer tube 202 of the first to fourth tubes 200-1 to 200-4 and the outer surface 1b of the rod core 1. This space 6 allows vibrations of the tip of the rod core 1, such as the sensation of a fish or other preying on bait, to be transmitted to the grip 2 via the space 6. This allows the angler to enjoy the thrill of fishing even more. As a result, a practical fishing rod A grip 2 can be provided.

[0058] Furthermore, in the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to one proposal, the first tube 200-1 has an insertion piece 201, which is supported by the rod core 1 and inserted into the cap 20. The second tube 200-2 also has an insertion piece 201, which is supported by the rod core 1 and inserted into the outer tube 202 of the adjacent first tube 200-1. Similarly, the third and fourth tubes 200-3 and 200-4 each have an insertion piece 201, which is supported by the rod core 1 and inserted into the outer tube 202 of the adjacent second and third tubes 200-2 and 200-3. Therefore, by easily adding another short tube 200 or removing any of the first to fourth tubes 200-1 to 200-4, grips 2 of different sizes and shapes can be formed. This makes it possible to provide a grip 2 for a fishing rod A that is simple in structure yet practical.

[0059] In one design, the grip 2 of the fishing rod A is equipped with a cap 20 that is attached to the insertion piece 201 of the first tube 200-1. In this design, since the first tube 200-1 is a wooden tube made of wood, cracking of the first tube 200-1 becomes a problem. However, the cap 20 prevents cracking of the insertion piece 201, and consequently prevents cracking of the entire first tube 200-1.

[0060] Furthermore, in one design, the first to fourth tubes 200-1 to 200-4 are made of wood. This makes them less slippery when wet, provides a comfortable temperature and softness when holding grip 2, and makes them easier to grip. It also allows for a reduction in the weight of grip 2.

[0061] In one design, as shown in Figure 2B, only the shape of the first tube 200-1 differs from the shapes of the other second to fourth tubes 200-2 to 200-4. However, this is not the only design. The shape of the first tube 200-1 may be the same as the shapes of the other second to fourth tubes 200-2 to 200-4.

[0062] (Another embodiment of one proposal) Next, the grip 2 of fishing rod A according to "another embodiment of the proposed design" will be described in detail using Figure 3-2A.

[0063] The grip 2 of fishing rod A according to "another embodiment of one proposal" differs from the grip 2 of fishing rod A according to "one proposal" in that the shapes of the second to fourth pipe bodies 200-2 to 200-4 are different and that it is equipped with a bush 81.

[0064] The second to fourth tubular bodies 200-2 to 200-4 are formed in a cylindrical shape and do not have an insertion piece 201.

[0065] The bush 81 is formed in a ring or cylindrical shape and is positioned within the space 6 to support the first to fourth pipes 200-1 to 200-4, etc., with respect to the rod core 1. The grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to this "alternative embodiment of one design" is equipped with three bushes 81. One of the three bushes 81 is positioned between the boundary between the inner circumferential surface 202a of the first pipe 200-1 and the inner circumferential surface 202a of the second pipe 200-2 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. Another bush 81 is positioned between the boundary between the inner circumferential surface 202a of the second pipe 200-2 and the inner circumferential surface 202a of the third pipe 200-3 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. Another bush 81 is positioned between the boundary between the inner circumferential surface 202a of the third pipe 200-3 and the inner circumferential surface 202a of the fourth pipe 200-4, and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. In "another embodiment of one design," the grip 2 of the fishing rod A comprises three bushes 81. However, it is not limited to this. The grip 2 of the fishing rod A only needs to have at least one bush 81 between any of the inner circumferential surfaces 202a of the first to fourth pipes 200-1 to 200-4 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1.

[0066] (Two options) In the second design, the insertion piece 201 is separated from the outer pipe body 202, and the insertion piece 201 is designated as a connecting piece 201-1. Please refer to the exploded views of the two designs shown in Figures 3-2B and 4-2. Specifically, each outer pipe body 202 is adjacent to the outer surface 201-1b of each connecting piece 201-1, on both sides thereof, and the inner surface 201-1a of each connecting piece 201-1 is attached and supported, for example, in close contact with the outer surface 1b of the core 1. The other structures are the same as in the first design. In the example where each connecting piece 201-1 is made of wood, this prevents the wood from cracking.

[0067] (Detailed explanation of the two proposals) Next, the grip 2 of fishing rod A in the second design will be described in more detail using Figures 3-2B and 4-2.

[0068] The grip 2 of fishing rod A in the second design differs from the grip 2 of fishing rod A in the first design in that the shapes of the second to fourth pipe bodies 200-2 to 200-4 are different.

[0069] The second to fourth tubes 200-2 to 200-4, as shown in Figures 3-2B and 4-2, each have a cylindrical outer tube 202 having a through hole in the axial direction A1, and connecting pieces 201-1 that are inserted into the through hole of the outer tube 202.

[0070] Furthermore, the grip 2 of the fishing rod A in the second proposal differs substantially from the "alternative embodiment of the first proposal" shown in Figure 3-2A, in that a connecting piece 201-1 is used instead of a bush 81.

[0071] (Variation 1 of "Proposal" and "Another Embodiment of Proposal") In the grip 2 according to "Proposal 1" and "Another Embodiment of Proposal 1," as shown in Figure 4-1, the second to fourth tubes 200-2 to 200-4 each have an outer tube 202 and an insertion piece 201. However, it is not limited to this. The grip 2 according to "Proposal 1" and "Another Embodiment of Proposal 1" may also include short tubes 200 shown in Figures 4-2(a), (b), (c), and (d) instead of the second to fourth tubes 200-2 to 200-4 shown in Figure 4-1. The short tubes 200 shown in Figures 4-2(a), (b), (c), and (d) each have a cylindrical outer tube 202 having a through hole in the axial direction A1, and a connecting piece 201-1 that is inserted into the through hole of the outer tube 202.

[0072] Furthermore, the connecting piece 201-1 shown in Figure 4-2(c) is formed in a cylindrical shape. However, it is not limited to this. The connecting piece 201-1 may have a slit formed in the axial direction A1 such that its cross-section is C-shaped, as shown in Figure 4-2(e). This connecting piece 201-1 shown in Figure 4-2(e) may be applied to the second to fourth tubular bodies 200-2 to 200-4 of the grip 2 according to "Proposal 1" and "Another Embodiment of Proposal 1".

[0073] Furthermore, the connecting piece 201-1 shown in Figure 4-2(c) is formed in a cylindrical shape. However, it is not limited to this. The connecting piece 201-1 may have a hole formed through it in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, as shown in Figure 4-3(b). This connecting piece 201-1 shown in Figure 4-3(b) may be applied to the second to fourth tubular bodies 200-2 to 200-4 of the grip 2 according to "Proposal" and "Another Embodiment of Proposal".

[0074] Furthermore, the short tube 200 shown in Figures 4-2(a) and (b) is formed in a cylindrical shape. However, it is not limited to this. The short tube 200 may have a hole formed through it in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction A1, as shown in Figure 4-3(a). This short tube 200 shown in Figure 4-3(a) may be applied to the second to fourth tubes 200-2 to 200-4 of the grip 2 according to "Proposal" and "Another Embodiment of Proposal".

[0075] (Three plans) Furthermore, Figures 3-3 and 4-4 show three designs, in which the grip 2, made of wood, metal, resin, or fiberglass / carbon fiber reinforced composite resin, is composed of a single ring-shaped, elongated tube 2000. This tube 2000 is fitted onto the outer surface 1b of the shaft core 1. In addition, a bush 2001 is provided in this tube 2000 to form a space 6. The other structures are the same as the first and second designs described above. Moreover, it is desirable that the inner surface of the tip of the tube 2000 be thickened to ensure a fitting relationship with the shaft core 1 (the same applies to the cap 7 in Figures 3-1 and 3-2B).

[0076] (Detailed explanation of the three proposals) Next, the grip 2 of fishing rod A related to the third proposal will be described in more detail using Figures 3-3(a) and 4-4.

[0077] The grip 2 of fishing rod A in the third proposal differs from the grip 2 of fishing rod A in the second proposal in that it does not have the second to fourth tubes 200-2 to 200-4, but instead has only one long tube 2000 (first tube 200-1) in the axial direction A1.

[0078] Furthermore, the grip 2 of fishing rod A in the third proposal is equipped with three bushings 81. The three bushings 81 are positioned between the inner circumferential surface of the first tube body 200-1, which is a long tube body 2000, and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. In the third proposal, the grip 2 of fishing rod A is equipped with three bushings 81, but is not limited to this. The grip 2 of fishing rod A only needs to be equipped with at least one bushing 81 between the inner circumferential surface of the first tube body 200-1 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1.

[0079] (Modification 2 of "Proposal 1" and "Another Embodiment of Proposal 1", and Modification 1 of "Proposal 3") The reel seat 2b of the grip 2 of fishing rod A according to "Proposal 1," "Another Embodiment of Proposal 1," and "Proposal 3" is a pipe-shaped structure fitted onto the outer circumference of at least one of the outer pipe bodies 202 of the first to fourth pipe bodies 200-1 to 200-4, as shown in Figure 3-4(a). However, it is not limited to this. The reel seat 2b of the grip 2 may also be a sheet-shaped structure attached to the surface of at least one of the outer pipe bodies 202 of the first to fourth pipe bodies 200-1 to 200-4, as shown in Figure 3-4(b).

[0080] (4 ideas) Figure 5-1 shows four different designs, illustrating yet another example of the rod core 1 and reel seat 2b. In this example, the reel seat 2b (made of metal, wood, resin, composite resin / fiber, or other materials) is a substitute for the grip 2, which is a single ring shape, as described above, and the rod core 1 passes through it. A space 6 is created between the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1 and the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the reel seat 2b. In the example of Figure 5-1, the outer circumferential surface 2bb of the reel seat 2b (regardless of the circumferential direction; the same applies hereafter) has a movable locking piece 2b1 on one side (the tip side, which is one example) and a fixed locking piece 2b2 on the other side (the butt cap side, which is one example). This reel seat 2b consists of a reel seat body 2b3 and a reel seat cap 2b4 that is screwed onto or fitted to one side of the reel seat body 2b3. The legs 10a and 10b of the reel 10 are locked by locking pieces 2b1 and 2b2. For this purpose, a gap 10c is formed on the outer circumferential surface 2bb of the reel seat body 2b3 and the other side of the reel seat cap 2b4, with the other side of the reel seat body 2b3 having a gap 10d facing the other side. The rest of the structure is, in principle, in accordance with the above-mentioned proposals 1 to 3.

[0081] (Variation 3 of "Option 1") In the grip 2 of "Proposal 1," as shown in Figures 3-1(b), (c) and 3-4(a), the reel seat 2b is positioned relative to the rod core 1 with the reel seat cap 2b4 facing towards the handle side (right side in the figure). However, this is not the only option. Conversely, as in the fourth proposal shown in Figure 5-1, the reel seat 2b may be positioned relative to the rod core 1 with the reel seat cap 2b4 facing towards the tip side (left side in the figure).

[0082] (5 ideas) Furthermore, Figures 5-2 to 5-4 show five different designs, illustrating yet another example of the rod core 1 and grip 2, or the reel seat 2b, adopting the grip 2 method described above. In principle, the structure is designed to accommodate multiple ring shapes (this is just one example). It is a combination structure of a cap 7, a short pipe 200, and a reinforcing pipe 8, and is equipped with a reel seat 2b. The reel seat 2b can be made of metal, wood, or other materials. The reinforcing pipe 8 is shown in detail in Figures 5-3 and 5-4, and is intended to guide the rod core 1, or to avoid gaps when the rod core 1 is made of a flexible material such as fiberglass and the grip 2 is made of a durable material such as wood (such as preventing bending gaps during flexing or cracks in the grip 2 when it flexes). Therefore, it is intended to be combined only when necessary (this is just one example). The reinforcing pipe 8 is installed between the grip 2 or the reel seat 2b, but it may also extend to the butt cap 5. In the figure, 80 is a notch in the reinforcing pipe 8. This notch 80 is formed, for example, along almost the entire length of the pipe. The notch 80 utilizes the holding, loose fitting, etc., of bushes (guides) 81, which will be described later, to allow insertion and / or support of the tip (not shown), and to control the diameter reduction and flexibility of the reinforcing pipe 8. The holding of the tip is made possible, for example, by one or more bushes 81 provided inside the notch ends 80a, 80b of the notch 80 and the inner circumferential surface 8a of the reinforcing pipe 8. These bushes 81 protect the reinforcing pipe 8, allow insertion of the tip, and hold and / or protect it. Furthermore, by providing the bushes 81, a space 6 is formed between the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1 and the inner circumferential surface 8a of the reinforcing pipe 8. Furthermore, the reinforcing pipe 8, in principle, is made of flexible resin, thin-walled in this example, and is installed between the rod core 1, the short pipe body 200, and the reel seat 2b. The other structures, in principle, conform to the above-mentioned proposals 1 to 4.

[0083] (Variation 4 of "Proposal 1", Variation 3 of "Another Embodiment of Proposal 1", and Variation 2 of "Proposal 3") The grip 2 of fishing rod A according to the fifth design in Figure 5-2 has substantially the same structure as the grip 2 of fishing rod A according to "Design 1," "Another Embodiment of Design 1," and "Design 3" shown in Figures 3-1, 3-2A, and 3-3, except that it has a reinforcing pipe 8. The grip 2 of fishing rod A according to "Design 1," "Another Embodiment of Design 1," and "Design 3" may further have a reinforcing pipe 8, as can be seen by referring to Figure 5-2.

[0084] (six plans, seven plans) Figures 6-1 to 6-3 show the sixth and seventh designs, respectively, which aim to reinforce the tip-side cap 7 and / or the handle-side cap 7' of the rod core 1, and to strengthen the connection between the rod core 1 and the short pipe body 200. To illustrate with an example, in the sixth design, a fitting groove is formed on the tip side of the cap 7, and the fitting groove of the cap (mouthpiece) 20 is fitted and supported into this fitting groove. This fitting support is used to integrate the cap 7 and the cap 20. This establishes integration and fixation between the two, improves strength, and is effective in preventing water intrusion. In the seventh design, in addition to the tip-side cap 20, a cap 20' is also provided on the handle side, establishing integration and fixation between the cap 20' and the cap 7' and / or the rod core 1, improving strength, and is effective in preventing water intrusion. Other structures generally follow the same principles as the first to fifth designs described above. Furthermore, it is possible to provide caps 20 and 20' on the fishing rod A in the above five designs. The relationship between caps 7 and 7' and caps 20 and 20' can also be applied to the relationship between the short pipe 200 and caps 20 and 20'. The effect is the same. In addition, although not shown in the diagram, the relationship between the short pipe 200 and caps 20 and 20' can also be used by fitting caps 20 and 20' between adjacent short pipes 200. The effect is the same. Other structures are, in principle, similar to the above five designs.

[0085] Furthermore, the present invention has a configuration that forms a space 6 between the outer surface 1b of the rod core 1 and the inner surface 202a of the grip 2 and / or the inner surface 2ba of the reel seat 2b, making it possible to transmit vibrations from the rod tip (the feeling of a fish or the like taking bait, etc.) to the wooden grip 2, for example, thus allowing anglers to enjoy the thrill of fishing. It is also thought that the enjoyment will be enhanced. Moreover, using a wooden material for the grip 2 has the following advantages. 1) It should not be slippery even when wet. 2) It should have a suitable temperature and softness when held, making it easy to grip. 3) Lightweighting is possible by making it thinner and matching the material. 4) The design variations are not limited, and you can enjoy the freedom of form and work. The tactile sensation transmitted to the hand is somewhat sensitive. 5) Also, for example, you can enjoy the warmth and softness of the wood. It is less tiring. 6) By utilizing the characteristics of the wood grain and texture, it becomes easier to bring out the unique features of the craft, or by combining different types of wood, it becomes possible to enjoy the natural colors of the wood or to enjoy the pleasure of marquetry.

[0086] (Other variations) In each of the embodiments and variations described above, the bush 81 is formed in a ring or cylindrical shape. However, it is not limited to these. The bush 81 may have a hole that penetrates in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction A1. The bush 81 may also have a notch cut out from at least one end in the axial direction A1. Furthermore, the bush 81 may have both a hole and a notch.

[0087] (Embodiment 1) The grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 7 to 11. The grip 2 of the fishing rod A shown in Figure 7 is the part of the fishing rod A that is held by the angler. In addition to the grip 2 described above, the fishing rod A has a rod core 1 which is the rod body of the fishing rod A, and a reel 10 for winding the fishing line.

[0088] The rod core 1 is a rod-shaped member that extends in the axial direction A1 and is used together with the fishing line, float, hook, etc., for catching fish. The rod core 1 is composed of two parts, for example, a tip-side portion that protrudes from the grip 2, and a butt-side portion into which the grip 2 is fitted. The tip-side portion that protrudes from the grip 2 is made of a material that has the necessary resistances for a fishing rod A, such as water resistance and torsional strength, as well as flexibility and elasticity, such as fiberglass. However, it is not limited to this. The tip-side portion can be made of a material that is moderately flexible, for example, it may be made of carbon, or a composite material of fiberglass and carbon. The butt-side portion into which the grip 2 is fitted is made of a material that is harder than the material of the tip-side portion, for example, in order to fit the grip 2. However, it is not limited to this. This butt-side portion may be made of the same flexible material as the tip-side portion, or it may be made of other materials. The butt-side portion may be a carbon pipe made of carbon, for example. The handle portion may be formed integrally with the tip portion.

[0089] The reel 10 is a component that holds the fishing line and adjusts the length of the fishing line hanging from the tip of the rod shaft 1 using a handle. The reel 10 has legs 10a and 10b for locking and securing it to the reel seat 2b of the grip 2.

[0090] As shown in Figure 8, the grip 2 is attached to the rod core 1 of the fishing rod A. The grip 2 comprises a tip-side cap 20 (crack prevention member), a tip-side cap 7 (short tube body 200 (first tube body 200-1)), a reel seat 2b, a butt-side short tube body 200 (second tube body 200-2), a cap 7', a butt-side cap 20', and a bush 81. The cap 20, the first tube body 200-1, the cylindrical reel seat 2b, the second tube body 200-2, cap 7', and cap 20' are arranged in that order along the axial direction A1, from the tip side to the butt side (from left to right in Figure 8).

[0091] The cap 20 (crack prevention member) is a component that makes up the tip end (left side in Figure 8) of the grip 2. The cap 20 is made of, for example, resin or metal. The cap 20 is attached to the insertion piece 201 of the first tube body 200-1, which is made of wood, thereby preventing the insertion piece 201 from cracking. The cap 20 may be made of a material other than resin or metal, as long as it can prevent the insertion piece 201 from cracking.

[0092] The first tube body 200-1 (cap 7, short tube body 200) is fitted onto the base of the shaft core 1, as shown in Figures 8 and 9. The first tube body 200-1 is also positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 8) of the cap 20. The first tube body 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a through hole that penetrates in the axial direction A1. The first tube body 200-1 is made of, for example, wood, metal, resin, fiberglass, or carbon fiber reinforced composite resin. Preferably, the first tube body 200-1 is a wooden tube formed by carving hardwood, softwood, etc. Alternatively, the first tube body 200-1 may be a wooden tube formed by carving wood in a joined state, where hardwood, softwood, etc. are glued together. The first pipe body 200-1 has an outer pipe body 202 (first main body), an insertion piece 201, and an insertion piece 203 (first insertion part).

[0093] The outer tube 202 of the first tube 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft core 1.

[0094] The insertion piece 203 of the first tube body 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the rod core 1. The inner circumferential surface of the insertion piece 203 is spaced apart from the rod core 1, similar to the inner circumferential surface 202a of the outer tube body 202. The insertion piece 203 also protrudes from the outer tube body 202 in the axial direction A1. The insertion piece 203 is inserted into the through hole of the reel seat 2b. The insertion piece 203 is formed, for example, by machining a portion of the outer end of the outer circumference of the outer tube body 202. As a result, the outer diameter W3 of the insertion piece 203 is formed to be smaller than the outer diameter W2 of the outer tube body 202.

[0095] The insertion piece 201 of the first tube body 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the shaft core 1. As a result, the insertion piece 201 is supported by the shaft core 1, and consequently, the first tube body 200-1 is fitted onto and supported by the base of the shaft core 1. The insertion piece 201 protrudes from the outer tube body 202 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the insertion piece 203 protrudes. The insertion piece 201 is formed, for example, by cutting a part of the end of the outer circumference of the outer tube body 202. A cap 7 is fitted onto this insertion piece 201. In this embodiment 1, since the first tube body 200-1 is a wooden tube made of wood, cracking of the first tube body 200-1 is a problem, but the cap 7 prevents cracking of the insertion piece 201, and consequently prevents cracking of the entire first tube body 200-1.

[0096] As shown in Figures 8 and 10(a) and (b), the reel seat 2b is formed in a cylindrical shape with a through hole that penetrates in the axial direction A1. The reel seat 2b is, for example, a pipe-shaped object that fixes the reel 10 and is positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 8) of the first pipe body 200-1. The reel seat 2b has a reel seat body 2b3 and a reel seat cap 2b4. A locking piece 2b2 is formed on the reel seat body 2b3. The reel seat cap 2b4 is screwed or fitted onto the reel seat body 2b3 and has a locking piece 2b1 formed on it. The reel seat cap 2b4 has a rotating portion 2b4-1 that rotates in the rotational direction A2 and a non-rotating portion that does not rotate. When the rotating portion 2b4-1 rotates in the rotational direction A2, the entire reel seat cap 2b4 moves back and forth in the axial direction A1. This causes the space between locking piece 2b1 and locking piece 2b2 to widen or narrow. The reel seat 2b is formed from, for example, a single material. The reel seat 2b is formed from, for example, resin. The legs 10a and 10b of the reel 10 are locked to the locking pieces 2b1 and 2b2 of the reel seat 2b. In this way, the reel seat 2b supports the reel 10. The diameter D1 of the through hole in the reel seat 2b is larger than the outer diameter W1 of the base section of the rod core 1.

[0097] With this configuration, a space 6 is formed between the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the through hole in the reel seat 2b and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1.

[0098] The second tube 200-2 (short tube 200), as shown in Figures 8 and 9, is fitted onto the base of the rod core 1 together with the first tube 200-1. The second tube 200-2 is also positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 8) of the reel seat 2b. The second tube 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a through hole that penetrates the axial direction A1 of the rod core 1. The second tube 200-2 is made of, for example, wood, metal, resin, fiberglass, or carbon fiber reinforced composite resin. Preferably, the second tube 200-2 is a wooden tube formed by carving hardwood, softwood, etc. Alternatively, the second tube 200-2 may be a wooden tube formed by carving wood in a joined state, where hardwood, softwood, etc. are glued together. The second pipe body 200-2 has an outer pipe body 202 (second main body), an insertion piece 201, and an insertion piece 203 (second insertion part).

[0099] The outer tubular body 202 of the second tubular body 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft core 1.

[0100] The insertion piece 203 of the second tube body 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the rod core 1. The inner circumferential surface of the insertion piece 203 is spaced apart from the rod core 1, similar to the inner circumferential surface 202a of the outer tube body 202. The insertion piece 203 also protrudes from the outer tube body 202 in the axial direction A1. The insertion piece 203 is inserted into the through hole of the reel seat 2b. The insertion piece 203 is formed, for example, by machining a portion of the outer end of the outer circumference of the outer tube body 202. As a result, the outer diameter W3 of the insertion piece 203 is formed to be smaller than the outer diameter W2 of the outer tube body 202.

[0101] The insertion piece 201 of the second tube body 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the shaft core 1. As a result, the insertion piece 201 is supported by the shaft core 1, and consequently, the first tube body 200-1 is fitted onto and supported by the base of the shaft core 1. The insertion piece 201 protrudes from the outer tube body 202 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the insertion piece 203 protrudes. The insertion piece 201 is formed, for example, by cutting a part of the outer edge of the outer tube body 202. A cap 7' is fitted onto this insertion piece 201. In this embodiment 1, since the second tube body 200-2 is a wooden tube made of wood, cracking of the second tube body 200-2 is a problem, but the cap 7' prevents cracking of the insertion piece 201, and consequently prevents cracking of the entire second tube body 200-2.

[0102] Cap 7' is a cylindrical component positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 8) of the second tube 200-2. Cap 7' is formed from, for example, wood, metal, resin, fiberglass, or carbon fiber reinforced composite resin. Preferably, Cap 7' is a wooden tube formed by carving hardwood, softwood, etc. Alternatively, Cap 7' may be a wooden tube formed by carving wood in a joined state, where hardwood, softwood, etc. are glued together. Cap 7' is attached to the insertion piece 201 of the second tube 200-2, which is made of wood, to prevent the insertion piece 201 from cracking. Cap 7' may be formed from a material other than resin and metal, as long as it can prevent the insertion piece 201 from cracking. Cap 7' has an outer tube and an insertion piece that protrudes from the outer tube in the axial direction A1.

[0103] The cap 20' is a component that makes up the grip 2 closest to the handle (right side in Figure 8). The cap 20' is made of, for example, resin or metal. The cap 20 is attached to the insertion piece of the cap 7', which is made of wood, to prevent the insertion piece of the cap 7' from cracking. The cap 20' may be made of a material other than resin or metal, as long as it can prevent the insertion piece of the cap 7' from cracking.

[0104] The bush 81 is formed in a ring or cylindrical shape and is positioned within the space 6 to support the reel seat 2b, etc., relative to the rod core 1. The bush 81 is positioned between the inner circumferential surfaces of the first pipe body 200-1, the second pipe body 200-2, and the reel seat 2b, respectively, and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. The grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to this embodiment 1 includes three bush 81. One of the three bush 81 is positioned between the inner circumferential surface 202a of the first pipe body 200-1 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. Another bush 81 is positioned between the inner circumferential surface 202a of the second pipe body 200-2 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. The third bush 81 is positioned between the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the reel seat 2b and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. In this embodiment 1, the grip 2 of the fishing rod A includes three bush 81. However, it is not limited to this. The grip 2 of fishing rod A only needs to have at least one bushing 81 between at least one inner surface of the first tube body 200-1, the second tube body 200-2, and the reel seat 2b, and the outer surface 1b of the rod core 1.

[0105] As described above, in the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to this embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 11(a), the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the through hole of the reel seat 2b contacts the outer circumferential surface of the insertion piece 203 of the first pipe body 200-1 at the contact portion C. Also, the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the through hole of the reel seat 2b contacts the outer circumferential surface of the insertion piece 203 of the second pipe body 200-2 at the contact portion C. Therefore, even without arranging another member in the portion between the first pipe body 200-1 and the second pipe body 200-2, it is possible to stably position the reel seat 2b relative to the first and second pipe bodies 200-1 and 200-2 while having a simple structure. This makes it possible to provide a grip 2 of the fishing rod A that is suitable for practical use.

[0106] On the other hand, the inventions described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have the problem that it is difficult to stably position the reel seat.

[0107] The invention according to this first embodiment was made under the circumstances described above, and provides a fishing rod grip that allows for the stable placement of the reel seat.

[0108] Furthermore, the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to this embodiment 1 comprises a first tube 200-1, a second tube 200-2 spaced apart from the first tube 200-1 in the axial direction A1, and a reel seat 2b positioned between the first and second tubes 200-1 and 200-2. Therefore, it is possible to add another short tube 200 (a third tube) separate from the first and second tubes 200-1 and 200-2, or to add multiple short tubes 200 (third and fourth tubes). This allows the length of the grip 2 of the fishing rod A in the axial direction A1 and the diameter of the grip 2 to be adjusted as appropriate to the angler's preference. Ultimately, this makes it possible to provide a fishing rod A grip 2 that is in practical use.

[0109] Furthermore, the grip 2 of fishing rod A is equipped with caps 20, 7' that are attached to the insertion pieces 201 of the first and second tube bodies 200-1 and 200-2. In this embodiment 1, since the first and second tube bodies 200-1 and 200-2 are wooden tubes made of wood, cracking of the first and second tube bodies 200-1 and 200-2 becomes a problem. However, the caps 20, 7' prevent cracking of the insertion piece 201, and consequently, prevent cracking of the entire first and second tube bodies 200-1 and 200-2.

[0110] Furthermore, in this embodiment 1, a space 6 is formed between the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the through hole in the reel seat 2b and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. Therefore, vibrations of the rod tip, such as the sensation of a fish or other preying on bait, can be transmitted to the grip 2 through the space 6. This allows the angler to enjoy the thrill of fishing even more.

[0111] Furthermore, in this embodiment 1, the first and second tube bodies 200-1 and 200-2 are made of wood. Therefore, for anglers, it is less likely to slip even when wet, and the grip 2 has a suitable temperature and softness when held, making it easy to grip. In addition, the weight of the grip 2 can be reduced.

[0112] In this embodiment 1, the diameter D1 of the through hole in the reel seat 2b is constant from the tip side to the handle side, as shown in Figures 10(a) and (b). However, it is not limited to this. As shown in Modification 1 of Embodiment 1 in Figure 10(c), a fitting portion 2bc into which the insertion piece 203 of the first tube body 200-1 is fitted may be formed at the end of the reel seat 2b. The fitting portion 2bc can be formed, for example, by cutting a part of the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the reel seat 2b.

[0113] Furthermore, in this embodiment 1, the insertion pieces 203 of the first and second pipe bodies 200-1 and 200-2 are inserted into the through holes of the reel seat 2b, and the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the through holes of the reel seat 2b contacts the outer circumferential surface of the insertion piece 203 of the first pipe body 200-1 and the outer circumferential surface of the insertion piece 203 of the second pipe body 200-2 at the contact portion C. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. As shown in the modified example 2 in Figure 11(b), the first and second pipe bodies 200-1 and 200-2 may not have insertion pieces 203, and the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the through holes of the reel seat 2b may contact the outer circumferential surface of the outer pipe body 202 of the first pipe body 200-1 and the outer circumferential surface of the outer pipe body 202 of the second pipe body 200-2 at the contact portion C.

[0114] (Embodiment 2) The grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 12 and 13(a) and (b). The grip 2 of the fishing rod A differs from that of Embodiment 1 described above in that the structure of the reel seat 2b is different. In the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to Embodiment 2, components that are the same as or equivalent to those in Embodiment 1 are given the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted.

[0115] The grip 2 according to Embodiment 2 is attached to the rod core 1 of the fishing rod A, similar to the grip according to Embodiment 1. The grip 2 comprises a tip-side cap 20, a first tube 200-1, a reel seat 2b, a second tube 200-2, a cap 7', a handle-side cap 20', and a bush 81. All components except the reel seat 2b are the same as those according to Embodiment 1.

[0116] Unlike the one in Embodiment 1, the reel seat 2b has a reel seat body and a frame pipe 2b5.

[0117] The reel seat body is cylindrical and, for example, made of resin. However, it is not limited to this, and the material of the reel seat body may be other than resin.

[0118] The frame pipe 2b5 is integrally attached to the reel seat body by being in close contact with the cylindrical inner surface of the reel seat body. This frame pipe 2b5 is provided to increase the rigidity of the reel seat 2b.

[0119] As described above, in the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to this second embodiment, the reel seat 2b has a frame pipe 2b5. Therefore, the rigidity of the reel seat 2b can be increased, and consequently, a grip 2 of the fishing rod A that is suitable for practical use can be provided. Furthermore, the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to this second embodiment can achieve the same effects as that according to the first embodiment.

[0120] In this second embodiment, the diameter D1 of the through hole in the reel seat 2b is constant from the tip side to the handle side, as shown in Figures 13(a) and (b). However, it is not limited to this. As shown in the modified example of the second embodiment in Figure 13(c), a fitting portion 2bc into which the insertion piece 203 of the first tube body 200-1 is fitted may be formed at the end of the reel seat 2b. The fitting portion 2bc can be formed, for example, by cutting a part of the inner circumferential surface 2ba of the reel seat 2b.

[0121] (Modification 1 of Embodiments 1 and 2) In the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to Embodiments 1 and 2, as shown in Figure 9, the first and second tubes 200-1 and 200-2 have an outer tube 202 (first and second main body parts), an insertion piece 201, and an insertion piece 203 (first and second insertion parts). However, it is not limited to this. In the grip 2 according to Embodiment 1, instead of the first and second tubes 200-1 and 200-2 shown in Figure 9, it may be equipped with a short tube 200 as shown in Figures 4-2(a) to (d). The short pipe body 200 shown in Figures 4-2(a) to (d) comprises a cylindrical outer pipe body 202 (first and second main body parts) having through holes in the axial direction A1, as shown in Figures 4-2(a) and (b), and connecting pieces 201-1 (first and second connecting parts) that are inserted into the through holes of the outer pipe body 202 and also into the through holes of the reel seat 2b or the outer pipe body 202, as shown in Figures 4-2(c) and (d).

[0122] Furthermore, the connecting piece 201-1 shown in Figure 4-2(c) is formed in a cylindrical shape. However, it is not limited to this. The connecting piece 201-1 may have a slit formed in the axial direction such that its cross-section is C-shaped, as shown in Figure 4-2(e). The connecting piece 201-1 (first and second connecting parts) shown in Figure 4-2(e) may be applied to the first and second tubular bodies 200-1 and 200-2 of the grip 2 according to these 1 and 2 embodiments.

[0123] Furthermore, the connecting piece 201-1 shown in Figure 4-2(c) is formed in a cylindrical shape. However, it is not limited to this. The connecting piece 201-1 may have a hole formed through it in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction A1, as shown in Figure 4-3(b). The connecting piece 201-1 (first and second connecting parts) shown in Figure 4-3(b) may be applied to the first and second tubular bodies 200-1 and 200-2 of the grip 2 according to these 1 and 2 embodiments.

[0124] Furthermore, the short tube 200 shown in Figure 4-3(a) is formed in a cylindrical shape. However, it is not limited to this. The short tube 200 may have a hole formed through it in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction A1, as shown in Figure 4-3(a). The short tube 200 shown in Figure 4-3(a) may be applied as the first and second tubes 200-1 and 200-2 of the grip 2 according to these 1 and 2 embodiments.

[0125] (Modification 2 of Embodiment 1) In the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to Embodiment 1, as shown in Figures 8 and 10(a) and (b), the reel seat 2b is positioned relative to the rod core 1 such that the reel seat cap 2b4 faces the handle side (right side in the figure). However, it is not limited to this. Conversely, as in the four designs shown in Figure 5-1, the reel seat 2b may be positioned relative to the rod core 1 such that the reel seat cap 2b4 faces the tip side (left side in the figure).

[0126] (Modification 2 of Embodiments 1 and 2) The grip 2 in the fifth design shown in Figure 5-2 is substantially identical to the grip 2 in Embodiment 1 shown in Figures 7 to 10, and the grip 2 in Embodiment 2 shown in Figures 11 and 12, except that it has a reinforcing pipe 8. Therefore, the grips 2 in Embodiments 1 and 2 may also have a reinforcing pipe 8 in addition to the first and second pipe bodies 200-1 and 200-2 and the reel seat 2b, etc.

[0127] (Embodiment 3) The grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 14 to 20. The grip 2 of the fishing rod A shown in Figure 14 is the part of the fishing rod A that is held by the angler. In addition to the grip 2 described above, the fishing rod A has a rod core 1 which is the rod body of the fishing rod A, and a reel 10 for winding the fishing line.

[0128] The rod core 1 is a rod-shaped member that extends in the axial direction A1 and is used together with the fishing line, float, hook, etc., for catching fish. The rod core 1 is composed of two parts, for example, a tip-side portion that protrudes from the grip 2, and a butt-side portion into which the grip 2 is fitted. The tip-side portion that protrudes from the grip 2 is made of a material with the necessary resistances and flexibility / elasticity required for a fishing rod A, such as water resistance and torsional rigidity, for example, fiberglass. However, it is not limited to this. The tip-side portion can be made of a material that is moderately flexible, for example, it may be made of carbon, or a composite material of fiberglass and carbon. The butt-side portion into which the grip 2 is fitted is made of a material that is harder than the material of the tip-side portion, for example, in order to fit the grip 2. However, it is not limited to this. This butt-side portion may be made of the same flexible material as the tip-side portion, or it may be made of other materials. The butt-side portion may be a carbon pipe made of carbon, for example. Furthermore, the handle portion may be integrally formed with the tip portion.

[0129] The reel 10 is a component that holds the fishing line and adjusts the length of the fishing line hanging from the tip of the rod shaft 1 using a handle. The reel 10 has legs 10a and 10b for locking and securing it to the reel seat 2b of the grip 2.

[0130] As shown in Figure 15, the grip 2 is attached to the rod core 1 of the fishing rod A. The grip 2 comprises a tip-side cap 20 (crack prevention member), a tip-side cap 7 (short tube body 200 (first tube body 200-1)), a reel seat 2b, a short tube body 200 (second tube body 200-2), a butt-side short tube body 200 (third tube body 200-3), a butt-side cap 20', and a reinforcing pipe 8. The cap 20, the first tube body 200-1, the cylindrical reel seat 2b, the second tube body 200-2, and the cap 20' are arranged in that order along the axial direction A1, from the tip side to the butt side (from left to right in Figure 15).

[0131] The cap 20 (crack prevention member) is a component that makes up the tip end (left side in Figure 15) of the grip 2. The cap 20 is made of, for example, resin or metal. The cap 20 is attached to the insertion piece 201 of the first tube body 200-1, which is made of wood, thereby preventing the insertion piece 201 from cracking. The cap 20 may be made of a material other than resin or metal, as long as it can prevent the insertion piece 201 from cracking.

[0132] The first tube body 200-1 (cap 7, short tube body 200) is fitted onto the base of the shaft core 1, as shown in Figures 15 and 16. The first tube body 200-1 is also positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 15) of the cap 20. The first tube body 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a through hole that penetrates in the axial direction A1. The first tube body 200-1 is made of, for example, wood, metal, resin, fiberglass, or carbon fiber reinforced composite resin. Preferably, the first tube body 200-1 is a wooden tube formed by carving hardwood, softwood, etc. Alternatively, the first tube body 200-1 may be a wooden tube formed by carving wood in a joined state, where hardwood, softwood, etc. are glued together. The first pipe body 200-1 has an outer pipe body 202 (first main body) and an insertion piece 201 (first insertion part).

[0133] The outer tube 202 of the first tube 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the core 1. One end of the reinforcing pipe 8 is fitted into this outer tube 202. As a result, the outer surface of the reinforcing pipe 8 is in contact with the inner surface 202a of the outer tube 202.

[0134] The insertion piece 201 of the first tube body 200-1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, the inner diameter of which is equal to the outer diameter of the shaft core 1. As a result, the insertion piece 201 is supported by the shaft core 1, and consequently, the first tube body 200-1 is fitted onto and supported by the base of the shaft core 1. The insertion piece 201 protrudes from the outer tube body 202 in the axial direction A1. The insertion piece 201 is formed, for example, by cutting off a part of the end of the outer circumference of the outer tube body 202. A cap 20 is fitted onto this insertion piece 201. In this embodiment 3, since the first tube body 200-1 is a wooden tube made of wood, cracking of the first tube body 200-1 is a problem, but the cap 20 prevents cracking of the insertion piece 201, and consequently prevents cracking of the entire first tube body 200-1.

[0135] As shown in Figures 15 and 17, the reel seat 2b is formed in a cylindrical shape with a through hole that penetrates in the axial direction A1. The reel seat 2b is, for example, a pipe-shaped object that fixes the reel 10 and is positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 15) of the first pipe body 200-1. The reel seat 2b has a reel seat body 2b3 and a reel seat cap 2b4. A locking piece 2b2 is formed on the reel seat body 2b3. The reel seat cap 2b4 is screwed or fitted onto the reel seat body 2b3 and has a locking piece 2b1 formed on it. The reel seat cap 2b4 has a rotating portion 2b4-1 that rotates in the rotational direction A2 and a non-rotating portion that does not rotate. When the rotating portion 2b4-1 rotates in the rotational direction A2, the entire reel seat cap 2b4 moves back and forth in the axial direction A1. This causes the space between locking piece 2b1 and locking piece 2b2 to widen or narrow. Also, a reinforcing pipe 8 is fitted into the through hole of the reel seat 2b. The reel seat 2b is formed from, for example, a single material. The reel seat 2b is formed from, for example, resin. The legs 10a and 10b of the reel 10 are locked to the locking pieces 2b1 and 2b2 of the reel seat 2b. In this way, the reel seat 2b supports the reel 10. The inner diameter of the through hole of the reel seat 2b is formed to be equal to the inner diameter of the outer pipe body 202 of the first pipe body 200-1. However, the inner diameter of the through hole of the reel seat 2b does not need to match the inner diameter of the outer pipe body 202 of the first pipe body 200-1; it is sufficient if they are equivalent.

[0136] The second tube 200-2 (short tube 200), as shown in Figures 15 and 18, is fitted onto the base of the rod core 1 together with the first tube 200-1. The second tube 200-2 is also positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 15) of the reel seat 2b. The second tube 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a through hole that penetrates in the axial direction A1. The second tube 200-2 is made of, for example, wood, metal, resin, fiberglass, or carbon fiber reinforced composite resin. Preferably, the second tube 200-2 is a wooden tube formed by carving hardwood, softwood, etc. Alternatively, the second tube 200-2 may be a wooden tube formed by carving wood in a joined state, where hardwood, softwood, etc. are glued together. The second pipe body 200-2 has an outer pipe body 202 (second main body) and an insertion piece 201 (second insertion part).

[0137] The outer casing 202 of the second pipe body 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The other end of the reinforcing pipe 8 is fitted into this outer casing 202. As a result, the outer surface of the reinforcing pipe 8 is in contact with the inner surface 202a of the outer casing 202. The inner diameter of the outer casing 202 is formed to be equal to the inner diameter of the through hole of the reel seat 2b and the inner diameter of the outer casing 202 of the first pipe body 200-1. However, the inner diameter of the outer casing 202 does not need to match the inner diameter of the through hole of the reel seat 2b and the inner diameter of the outer casing 202 of the first pipe body 200-1; it is sufficient if they are equivalent.

[0138] The insertion piece 201 of the second tube body 200-2 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with its inner diameter being equal to the outer diameter of the shaft core 1. As a result, the insertion piece 201 is supported by the shaft core 1, and consequently, Second tube 200-2 However, it is fitted onto and supported by the base of the shaft core 1. The insertion piece 201 protrudes from the outer tube body 202 in the axial direction A1. The insertion piece 201 is formed, for example, by cutting off a part of the end of the outer circumference of the outer tube body 202. This insertion piece 201 is Third tube 200-3 It is inserted into the outer casing 202.

[0139] As shown in Figures 15 and 19, the third pipe body 200-3 (short pipe body 200) is fitted onto the base of the shaft core 1 together with the first and second pipe bodies 200-1 and 200-2. The third pipe body 200-3, like the first and second pipe bodies 200-1 and 200-2, has an outer pipe body 202 (third main body) and an insertion piece 201 (third insertion part).

[0140] The outer tubular body 202 of the third tubular body 200-3 is formed in a cylindrical shape.

[0141] The insertion piece 201 of the third tube body 200-3 is formed in a cylindrical shape, the inner diameter of which is equal to the outer diameter of the shaft core 1. As a result, the insertion piece 201 is supported by the shaft core 1, and consequently, the third tube body 200-3 is fitted onto and supported by the base of the shaft core 1. The insertion piece 201 protrudes from the outer tube body 202 in the axial direction A1. The insertion piece 201 is formed, for example, by cutting off a part of the end of the outer circumference of the outer tube body 202. A cap 20' is fitted onto this insertion piece 201. In this embodiment 3, since the third tube body 200-3 is a wooden tube made of wood, cracking of the third tube body 200-3 is a problem, but the cap 20' prevents cracking of the insertion piece 201, and consequently prevents cracking of the entire third tube body 200-3.

[0142] As shown in Figure 15, the cap 20' is a component that makes up the grip 2 closest to the handle (right side in Figure 15). The cap 20' is a cylindrical component positioned adjacent to the handle side (right side in Figure 15) of the second tube 200-2. The cap 20' is formed from, for example, wood, metal, resin, fiberglass, or carbon fiber reinforced composite resin. Preferably, the cap 20' is a wooden tube formed by carving hardwood, softwood, etc. Alternatively, the cap 20' may be a wooden tube formed by carving wood in a joined state, where hardwood, softwood, etc. are glued together. The cap 20' is attached to the insertion piece 201 of the second tube 200-2, which is made of wood, to prevent the insertion piece 201 from cracking. The cap 20' may be made from a material other than resin and metal, as long as it can prevent the insertion piece 201 from cracking.

[0143] As shown in Figure 15, the reinforcing pipe 8 is formed in a cylindrical shape with the axis of the rod core 1 in the axial direction A1. The reinforcing pipe 8 is also formed with an outer diameter that allows it to be fitted into the outer tubing 202 of the first pipe body 200-1, the through hole of the reel seat 2b, and the outer tubing 202 of the second pipe body 200-2. When the reinforcing pipe 8 is fitted into the outer tubing 202 of the first pipe body 200-1, the through hole of the reel seat 2b, and the outer tubing 202 of the second pipe body 200-2, the outer surface of the reinforcing pipe 8 is in contact with the inner surface 202a of the outer tubing 202 of the first pipe body 200-1, the inner surface 2ba of the through hole of the reel seat 2b, and the inner surface 202a of the outer tubing 202 of the second pipe body 200-2. This reinforcing pipe 8 is formed from, for example, a wood-based material, metal, resin, fiberglass, or carbon fiber reinforced composite resin.

[0144] With this configuration, a space 6 is formed between the inner circumferential surface 8a of the reinforcing pipe 8 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the core rod 1.

[0145] As explained above, in the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to this third embodiment, as shown in Figure 20, the outer surface of the reinforcing pipe 8 is in contact with the inner surface 202a of the outer casing 202 of the first and second pipe bodies 200-1 and 200-2 at contact portions C1 and C2. Therefore, a space 6 can be secured throughout the entire hole of the reinforcing pipe 8. Consequently, it becomes possible to secure a large space 6 in the grip 2.

[0146] On the other hand, Patent Document 3 discloses a grip 2' in which a pair of cylindrical mounting tubes 200' attached to a fishing rod are fitted with metal tubular mounting legs 8' as reinforcing pipes. These metal tubular mounting legs 8' are tubes that support the reel seat, and the inner circumferential surface of the metal tubular mounting legs 8' is provided to contact the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical mounting tubes 200'.

[0147] In the comparative example grip 2' shown in Figure 21 (the grip disclosed in Patent Document 3), the inner circumferential surface of the metal tubular mounting support leg 8', which serves as a reinforcing pipe, is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the insertion piece of the cylindrical mounting tube 200' at contact portions C3 and C4. As a result, the insertion piece of the mounting tube 200' fits into the tube of the metal tubular mounting support leg 8', and the length L2 of the space 6' becomes shorter than the length L1 of the hole in the tube of the metal tubular mounting support leg 8'. This makes it difficult to secure space 6' throughout the entire hole in the tube of the metal tubular mounting support leg 8'. Consequently, space 6' becomes smaller than space 6 of grip 2 shown in Figure 20. Furthermore, the mounting tube 200' is formed in a cylindrical shape without a through hole, rather than a cylindrical shape with a through hole. As a result, the weight of grip 2' may increase.

[0148] The invention according to Embodiment 3 was made under the circumstances described above, and provides a fishing rod grip that can achieve weight reduction.

[0149] In other words, in this embodiment 3, as shown in Figure 20, the outer surface of the reinforcing pipe 8 is in contact with the inner surface 202a of the outer casing 202 of the first pipe body 200-1 at contact portions C1 and C2. Therefore, the length L1 of the hole in the reinforcing pipe 8 and the length of the space 6 are the same, and as a result, the space 6 can be secured throughout the entire hole of the reinforcing pipe 8. By securing this space 6, the grip 2 can be made lighter. Consequently, a grip 2 for a fishing rod A that can be put into practical use can be provided. Furthermore, in this embodiment 3, the space 6 can be secured throughout the entire hole of the reinforcing pipe 8 without changing the appearance from the grip 2' of the comparative example shown in Figure 21.

[0150] Furthermore, in this third embodiment, as shown in Figure 20, the reinforcing pipe 8 is fitted into the outer pipe 202 of the first pipe 200-1, the through hole of the reel seat 2b, and the outer pipe 202 of the second pipe 200-2. This increases the rigidity of the grip 2. Consequently, a grip 2 for a fishing rod A that is suitable for practical use can be provided.

[0151] Furthermore, the grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to this third embodiment comprises a first tube 200-1, a second tube 200-2 spaced apart from the first tube 200-1 in the axial direction A1, and a reel seat 2b positioned between the first and second tubes 200-1 and 200-2. Therefore, it is possible to add another short tube 200 (a fifth tube) separate from the first and second tubes 200-1 and 200-2, or to add multiple short tubes 200 (fourth and fifth tubes). This allows the length of the grip 2 of the fishing rod A in the axial direction A1 and the diameter of the grip 2 to be adjusted as appropriate to the angler's preference. Ultimately, this makes it possible to provide a fishing rod A grip 2 that is in practical use.

[0152] Furthermore, in this third embodiment, the grip 2 of the fishing rod A is equipped with caps 20 and 20' that are attached to the insertion pieces 201 of the first and third tube bodies 200-1 and 200-3. In this third embodiment, since the first and third tube bodies 200-1 and 200-3 are wooden tubes made of wood, cracking of the first and third tube bodies 200-1 and 200-3 becomes a problem. However, the caps 20 and 20' prevent cracking of the insertion pieces 201, and consequently, prevent cracking of the entire first and third tube bodies 200-1 and 200-3.

[0153] Furthermore, in this third embodiment, a space 6 is formed between the inner circumferential surface 8a of the reinforcing pipe 8 and the outer circumferential surface 1b of the rod core 1. Therefore, vibrations of the rod tip, such as the sensation of a fish or other preying on bait, can be transmitted to the grip 2 through the space 6. This allows the angler to enjoy the thrill of fishing even more.

[0154] Furthermore, in this third embodiment, the first to third tubes 200-1 to 200-3 are made of wood. Therefore, for anglers, it is less likely to slip even when wet, and the grip 2 has a suitable temperature and softness when held, making it easy to grip. In addition, the weight of the grip 2 can be reduced.

[0155] (Embodiment 4) The grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figure 22. The grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to Embodiment 4 differs from that according to Embodiment 3 in that it further comprises a bush 81.

Alternatively, the grip tube 205 is formed from a combination of multiple materials, for example, a combination of resin and wood. The inner diameter of the through hole of the grip tube 205 is formed to be equal to the inner diameter of the outer tube 202 of the first and second tube bodies 200-1 and 200-2. However, the inner diameter of the through hole of the grip tube 205 does not need to match the inner diameter of the outer tube 202 of the first and second tube bodies 200-1 and 200-2; it is sufficient if they are equivalent.

[0161] The grip 2 of the fishing rod A according to this 5th embodiment can also achieve the same effects as those according to embodiments 3 and 4.
