Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a rod attachment tool such as a reel seat attached to a fishing rod.
Background Art
[0002] A reel is attached to the reel seat. Generally, the reel seat is fixed at a predetermined position on the fishing rod. Therefore, the position where the reel is attached to the fishing rod is constant.
[0003] On the other hand, in Patent Document 1 below, a reel seat that can be moved in the axial direction of the rod body and fixed at that position is described. This reel seat includes a tubular member having male screw portions formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of both front and rear end portions, and a pair of tightening members that are screwed onto the male screw portions. Elastomer rings are respectively attached between the pair of tightening members and the outer peripheral surface of the rod body. The pair of elastomer rings are respectively located on the front side and the rear side of the tubular member. When the tightening member is screwed onto the male screw portion, the tightening member moves the elastomer ring in the axial direction of the rod body and approaches the tubular member. Thereby, the tubular member is fixed to the rod body. However, since the elastomer ring is moved in the axial direction of the rod body by the tightening member, for example, when dust adheres to the outer peripheral surface of the rod body, it is difficult for the elastomer ring to move. Further, since the elastomer ring is interposed between the tightening member and the outer peripheral surface of the rod body, it is difficult to rotate the tightening member.
[0004] On the other hand, in FIG. 11 of Patent Document 1 below, a slit is provided in the male screw portion at the end of the tubular member. When the tightening member is screwed onto the male screw portion, the end of the tubular member is deformed, and thereby the tubular member is fixed to the rod body. However, it is difficult to bring the inner peripheral surface of the end of the tubular member into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rod body. That is, it is difficult to firmly fix the tubular member to the rod body.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 50-121091 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0006] The present invention aims to provide a way to securely fix a displaceable rod mount to the rod body. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The first rod mount according to the present invention is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body of a fishing rod. The rod mount comprises a main body, a pressing body, and a holding body. The main body has an insertion hole through which the rod body passes. The main body is displaceably mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body. The pressing body is attached to the main body. The pressing body elastically deforms the main body radially inward through the insertion hole. The holding body is provided between the inner circumferential surface of the main body and the outer circumferential surface of the rod body. The holding body holds the main body on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body. With this configuration, when the main body elastically deforms radially inward, the main body presses the holding body against the outer circumferential surface of the rod body. Therefore, the rod mount can be firmly fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body.
[0008] In a rod holder according to a second aspect of the present invention, the main body has a first deformable portion. The first deformable portion is provided at the first axial end of the insertion hole. The pressing body has a first tightening member. The first tightening member is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the first deformable portion. The first tightening member elastically deforms the first deformable portion radially inward. The retaining body has a first layered portion. The first layered portion is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the first deformable portion. With this configuration, since the first deformable portion is provided at the first end of the main body, the first deformable portion can be easily deformed radially inward. Furthermore, since the first layered portion is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the first deformable portion, the first layered portion can be reliably brought into close contact with the outer circumferential surface of the rod body. Therefore, the rod holder can be fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body more reliably.
[0009] In the rod holder according to the third aspect of the second aspect of the present invention, the first deformable portion has a plurality of first elastic pieces. The plurality of first elastic pieces extend in the axial direction. The plurality of first elastic pieces are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction. With this configuration, the plurality of first elastic pieces are easily and reliably elastically deformed radially inward by the first clamping member, causing the first layered portion to adhere closely to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body.
[0010] In the rod holder according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, which is a third aspect, the first deformable portion has a first threaded portion on its outer circumferential surface. The first threaded portion expands in diameter toward the second end of the main body. The first tightening member has a second threaded portion. The second threaded portion is screwed into the first threaded portion. With this configuration, by rotating the first tightening member, the multiple first elastic pieces can be uniformly and easily elastically deformed radially, and the first layered portion can be uniformly brought into close contact with the rod body.
[0011] In a rod holder according to a fifth aspect of the present invention, which follows any one of the second to fourth aspects, the main body further comprises a second deformable portion. The second deformable portion is provided at the second end of the main body. The pressing body further comprises a second tightening member. The second tightening member is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the second deformable portion. The second tightening member elastically deforms the second deformable portion radially inward. The retaining body further comprises a second layered portion. The second layered portion is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the second deformable portion. With this configuration, the first and second ends of the main body are fixed to the rod body, respectively, and a large fixing force is obtained.
[0012] In the rod holder according to the sixth aspect of the fifth aspect of the present invention, the second deformable portion has a second elastic piece. The second elastic piece extends in the axial direction. The second elastic pieces are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction. With this configuration, the second end of the main body can be securely fixed to the rod body.
[0013] In the rod holder according to the seventh aspect of the sixth aspect of the present invention, the second deformable portion has a third threaded portion on its outer circumferential surface. The third threaded portion expands in diameter toward the first end of the main body. The second tightening member has a fourth threaded portion. The fourth threaded portion is screwed into the third threaded portion. With this configuration, by rotating the second tightening member, the multiple second elastic pieces can be uniformly and easily elastically deformed in the radial direction, and the second layered portion can be uniformly brought into close contact with the rod body.
[0014] In the rod mount according to the eighth aspect of the present invention, which follows any one of the first to seventh aspects, the main body has a reel mounting portion. The reel mounting portion is for attaching a reel to a fishing rod. With this configuration, a reel can be attached to the reel mounting portion of the rod mount. If the rod mount is movable in the axial direction relative to the rod body, the axial fixed position of the reel relative to the fishing rod can be easily changed. If the rod mount is rotatable relative to the rod body in the circumferential direction, the circumferential orientation of the reel relative to the fishing rod can be easily changed. If the rod mount is movable in the axial direction and rotatable relative to the rod body, the axial fixed position of the reel relative to the fishing rod and the circumferential orientation of the reel relative to the fishing rod can be easily changed.
[0015] In the rod holder according to the ninth aspect of the present invention, which follows any one of the first to seventh aspects, the main body has a fishing line guide. With this configuration, if the rod holder is movable in the axial direction relative to the rod body, the axial position of the fishing line guide can be easily changed. If the rod holder is circumferentially rotatable relative to the rod body, the circumferential orientation of the fishing line guide can be easily changed. If the rod holder is movable in the axial direction and circumferentially rotatable relative to the rod body, the fixed axial position and circumferential orientation of the fishing line guide can be easily changed.
[0016] The tenth side reel seat of the present invention is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body of a fishing rod in order to attach a reel to the rod. The reel seat comprises a body, a movable hood, a nut, a pressing body, and a retaining body. The body is displaceably mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body. The body has an insertion hole. The rod body passes through the insertion hole. The body has a male threaded portion on its outer circumferential surface. The movable hood is mounted on the body. The movable hood holds the leg of the reel. The nut is screwed onto the male threaded portion. The nut moves the movable hood axially through the insertion hole. The pressing body is mounted on the body. The pressing body elastically deforms the body radially inward through the insertion hole. The retaining body is provided between the inner circumferential surface of the body and the outer circumferential surface of the rod body. The retaining body holds the body on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body. With this configuration, the reel seat can be securely fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body.
[0017] In the reel seat of the 11th aspect according to the 10th aspect of the present invention, the main body has a first deformable portion. The first deformable portion is provided at the first end of the main body. The pressing body has a first tightening member. The first tightening member is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the first deformable portion. The first tightening member elastically deforms the first deformable portion radially inward. The retaining body has a first layered portion. The first layered portion is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the first deformable portion. With this configuration, the reel seat can be fixed more securely to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body.
[0018] In the reel seat of the twelfth side according to the eleventh side of the present invention, the first deformable portion has a plurality of first elastic pieces. The plurality of first elastic pieces extend in the axial direction. The plurality of first elastic pieces are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction. With this configuration, the plurality of first elastic pieces are easily and reliably elastically deformed radially inward by the first clamping member, causing the first layered portion to adhere closely to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body.
[0019] In the reel seat of the 13th side according to the 12th side of the present invention, the first deformable portion has a first threaded portion on its outer circumferential surface. The first threaded portion expands in diameter toward the second end of the main body. The first tightening member has a second threaded portion. The second threaded portion is screwed into the first threaded portion. With this configuration, by rotating the first tightening member, the multiple first elastic pieces can be uniformly and easily elastically deformed in the radial direction, and the first layered portion can be uniformly brought into close contact with the rod body.
[0020] In the reel seat of the 14th side according to the 13th side of the present invention, the male screw portion is located on the first end side of the main body. With this configuration, the male screw portion and the first screw portion are aligned in the axial direction. The first screw portion has a different screw specification from the male screw portion. The reel can be securely fixed to the reel seat by rotating the nut that screws onto the male screw portion. The reel seat can be securely fixed to the rod body by rotating the first tightening member that screws onto the first screw portion. Since the nut and the first tightening member are located on the same side in the axial direction relative to the reel, the two rotational operations can be easily performed. Moreover, since the male screw portion and the first screw portion have different specifications, the feel of operating the nut and the first tightening member is also different. Therefore, even though the nut and the first tightening member are aligned in the axial direction, it is difficult to make a mistake in operation.
[0021] In a reel seat of the 15th side according to any one of the 11th to 14th sides of the present invention, the main body has an outer cylinder portion and a first inner cylinder portion. The outer cylinder portion has a first external engaging portion. The first inner cylinder portion has a first internal engaging portion. The first internal engaging portion engages with the first external engaging portion in the axial direction. The first inner cylinder portion has a first projection. The first projection protrudes from the outer cylinder portion in the direction from the second end to the first end of the main body. A male screw portion is provided on the outer cylinder portion. A first deformation portion is provided on the first projection portion. With this configuration, by making the first inner cylinder portion a separate part from the outer cylinder portion, the materials of the outer cylinder portion and the first inner cylinder portion can be different. For example, the material of the first inner cylinder portion can be made more elastically deformable than that of the outer cylinder portion. Therefore, the first deformation portion provided on the first projection portion of the first inner cylinder portion can be easily elastically deformed. It is also easy to increase the strength of the outer cylinder portion compared to the first inner cylinder portion. Therefore, the reel can be securely fixed to the outer cylinder.
[0022] In the reel seat of the 16th aspect according to the 15th aspect of the present invention, the main body further has a second deformable portion. The second deformable portion is provided at the second end of the main body. The pressing body further has a second clamping member. The second clamping member is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the second deformable portion. The second clamping member elastically deforms the second deformable portion radially inward. The retaining body further has a second layered portion. The second layered portion is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the second deformable portion. The outer cylinder portion further has a second external engaging portion. The main body further has a second inner cylinder portion. The second inner cylinder portion has a second internal engaging portion. The second internal engaging portion engages with the second external engaging portion in the axial direction. The second inner cylinder portion has a second projection. The second projection protrudes from the outer cylinder portion in the direction from the first end to the second end of the main body. The second deformable portion is provided on the second projection. With this configuration, for example, the first inner cylinder and the second inner cylinder can be made of a material that is more elastically deformable than the outer cylinder. Therefore, the first deformable part provided on the first protrusion of the first inner cylinder and the second deformable part provided on the second protrusion of the second inner cylinder can be easily elastically deformed. Furthermore, the material of the second inner cylinder can be different from that of the first inner cylinder, or the materials of the first and second inner cylinders can be the same.
[0023] In the reel sheet of the 17th aspect according to the 15th aspect of the present invention, the outer cylindrical portion has a reel mounting portion. The legs of the reel are placed on the reel mounting portion. The first inner cylindrical portion has a first inner overlapping portion. The first inner overlapping portion overlaps the inner side in the radial direction of the reel mounting portion. According to this configuration, the reel mounting portion is supported from the inner side in the radial direction by the first inner overlapping portion. Therefore, the legs of the reel placed on the reel mounting portion are stabilized.
[0024] In the reel sheet of the 18th aspect according to the 16th aspect of the present invention, the outer cylindrical portion has a reel mounting portion. The legs of the reel are placed on the reel mounting portion. The second inner cylindrical portion has a second inner overlapping portion. The second inner overlapping portion overlaps the inner side in the radial direction of the reel mounting portion. According to this configuration, the reel mounting portion is supported from the inner side in the radial direction by the second inner overlapping portion. Therefore, the legs of the reel placed on the reel mounting portion are stabilized.
[0025] In the reel sheet of the 19th aspect according to the 16th aspect of the present invention, the first inner cylindrical portion and the second inner cylindrical portion are the same parts as each other. According to this configuration, the first inner cylindrical portion and the second inner cylindrical portion can be shared as one part. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced, and the assembly work of the reel sheet becomes easier. Furthermore, since the first deformed portion and the second deformed portion are elastically deformed to the same extent as each other, the operation feeling is common. Also, since the first fixing force in the first deformed portion and the second fixing force in the second deformed portion are equal to each other, the reel sheet can be fixed to the fishing rod more stably.
Effect of the Invention
[0026] As described above, since the pressing body elastically deforms the main body inward in the radial direction and the holding body is provided between the inner peripheral surface of the main body and the outer peripheral surface of the rod body, the rod mounting tool is firmly and stably fixed to the rod body.

[0028] Hereinafter, a rod mounting device and a fishing rod equipped therewith according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 9. The rod mounting device in this embodiment is a cylindrical reel seat 1. The entire reel seat 1 is shown in Figures 1 to 5. The type of fishing rod is arbitrary and may be a telescopic rod, a rod with two sections together, or a so-called one-piece rod consisting of a single rod body. Hereinafter, the tip side of the rod will be referred to as the front side and the butt side as the rear side. The axial direction of the fishing rod will be referred to as the front-rear direction. If the fishing rod has multiple rod bodies, it is preferable that the reel seat 1 be attached to the rod body located at the rearmost position. The fishing rod is equipped with a fishing line guide (not shown) through which the fishing line is inserted. The fishing line guide may be an external guide provided on the outer circumference of the rod body, or an internal guide through which the fishing line is inserted on the inner circumference of the rod body. The reel seat 1 may be suitable for attaching a spinning reel to the fishing rod, or it may be suitable for attaching a double-bearing reel to the fishing rod. The reel seat 1 of this embodiment is suitable for attaching a spinning reel to a fishing rod.
[0029] The reel seat 1 is mounted on the outer surface of the rod body 3. The reel seat 1 is displaceable relative to the rod body 3 and can be fixed relative to the rod body 3 in a predetermined posture and position. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the reel seat 1 is movable in the front-rear direction relative to the rod body 3, and further, although not shown, is also movable (rotatable) in the circumferential direction relative to the rod body 3. However, the reel seat 1 may be movable only in the front-rear direction relative to the rod body 3, or only in the circumferential direction.
[0030] <Overall configuration of reel seat 1 and main body 30> The reel seat 1 comprises a main body 10, a movable hood 11, a nut 12, a pressing body 13, and a retaining body 14. The main body 10 is displaceably mounted on the outer surface of the rod body 3. That is, the main body 10 is mounted on the outer surface of the rod body 3 so as to be movable in the front-rear and circumferential directions. The main body 10 is cylindrical. The main body 10 has an insertion hole 20 through which the rod body 3 passes in the front-rear direction. The insertion hole 20 is open in the front-rear direction. The center line of the insertion hole 20 coincides with the center line of the rod body 3. The axial direction of the insertion hole 20 is the axial direction of the rod body 3, and is the front-rear direction.
[0031] The main body 10 has a reel mounting section 21 for attaching the reel 100 to the fishing rod. The reel mounting section 21 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the main body 10. The reel mounting section 21 extends in the front-rear direction. The legs 101 of the reel 100 are placed on the reel mounting section 21. When in use, the spinning reel 100 is positioned below the fishing rod, as shown in Figures 2, 3, and 9. Therefore, the reel mounting section 21 faces downwards when in use.
[0032] The main body 10 has a fixing hood 22 that holds one end of the leg 101 of the reel 100 in the front-rear direction. The fixing hood 22 is located at one end of the front-rear ends of the reel mounting section 21. The reel seat 1 may be attached to the rod body 3 such that the fixing hood 22 is located on the front side of the reel mounting section 21 and holds the front end 102 of the leg 101, or conversely, the fixing hood 22 may be located on the rear side of the reel mounting section 21 and holds the rear end 103 of the leg 101. For example, in Figure 9, the fixing hood 22 is located on the front side of the reel mounting section 21 and holds the front end 102 of the leg 101. It is preferable that the fixing hood 22 is integrally formed with the main body 10.
[0033] The main body 10 has a male threaded portion 23 on its outer circumference. A nut 12 is screwed onto the male threaded portion 23. The male threaded portion 23 is located on the opposite side from the fixed hood 22 to the reel mounting portion 21. The male threaded portion 23 is adjacent to the front or rear side of the reel mounting portion 21. One or more guide grooves 24 are formed in the male threaded portion 23 along the front-rear direction. The movable hood 11 engages with the guide grooves 24. The movable hood 11 moves in the front-rear direction relative to the main body 10, guided by the guide grooves 24. In addition, the circumferential movement of the movable hood 11 relative to the main body 10 is restricted by the guide grooves 24. The guide grooves 24 may be provided at only one location around the entire circumference of the male threaded portion 23, or they may be provided at multiple locations spaced apart in the circumferential direction.
[0034] The main body 10 has a first deformable portion 30 at its first end 10a in the front-rear direction. The first deformable portion 30 is cylindrical overall and elastically deformable radially inward. The first deformable portion 30 is adjacent to the male threaded portion 23. The first deformable portion 30 has a first threaded portion 31 on its outer circumferential surface that expands in diameter toward the second end 10b of the main body 10. The first threaded portion 31 is a tapered thread. The first threaded portion 31 is formed along the entire length of the first deformable portion 30. The inner circumferential surface of the first deformable portion 30 has a constant diameter. The outer diameter of the first threaded portion 31 is maximum near the male threaded portion 23. Preferably, the maximum diameter of the first threaded portion 31 is the same as or smaller than the outer diameter of the male threaded portion 23. The wall thickness of the first elastic piece 33 gradually thins toward the first end 10a, i.e., toward the tip.
[0035] The first deformable portion 30 has one or more first slits 32 extending in the front-rear direction. Preferably, the first slits 32 are provided in multiples spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and preferably at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. The number of first slits 32 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, a total of four are formed at 90-degree intervals. Preferably, the first slits 32 are formed along the entire length of the first deformable portion 30. As a result of the formation of the first slits 32, the first deformable portion 30 has multiple first elastic pieces 33. The first slits 32 divide the first deformable portion 30 into multiple first elastic pieces 33. In this embodiment, since four first slits 32 are provided, the first deformable portion 30 is divided into four first elastic pieces 33. The first elastic pieces 33 extend in the front-rear direction and are provided along the entire length of the first deformable portion 30. The first elastic pieces 33 are curved radially outward along the circumferential direction.
[0036] The first elastic piece 33 has a fixed end on the male screw portion 23 side (the end adjacent to the male screw portion 23) and a free end on the opposite side (the first end 10a of the main body 10). The first elastic piece 33 can bend radially and elastically deformed with the end on the male screw portion 23 side as a fulcrum. A first slit 32 is located between adjacent first elastic pieces 33 in the circumferential direction. Multiple first elastic pieces 33 are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction. All multiple first elastic pieces 33 have the same shape. Therefore, multiple first elastic pieces 33 elastically deform radially to the same degree. Because the first slit 32 is formed in the first deformable portion 30, the first screw portion 31 is also partially divided by the first slit 32.
[0037] The main body 10 has a second deformable portion 40 at its second end 10b in the front-rear direction. The second deformable portion 40 has the same configuration as the first deformable portion 30. However, the second deformable portion 40 may have a different configuration from the first deformable portion 30. The second deformable portion 40 is cylindrical as a whole and is elastically deformable radially inward. The second deformable portion 40 has a third threaded portion 41 on its outer circumferential surface that expands in diameter toward the first end 10a of the main body 10. The third threaded portion 41 is a tapered thread. The third threaded portion 41 is formed along the entire length of the second deformable portion 40. The inner circumferential surface of the second deformable portion 40 has a constant diameter.
[0038] The second deformable portion 40 has one or more second slits 42 extending in the front-rear direction. Preferably, the second slits 42 are provided in multiples spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and preferably at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. The number of second slits 42 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, a total of four are formed at 90-degree intervals. Preferably, the second slits 42 are formed along the entire length of the second deformable portion 40. As a result of the formation of the second slits 42, the second deformable portion 40 has multiple second elastic pieces 43. The second slits 42 divide the second deformable portion 40 into multiple second elastic pieces 43. In this embodiment, since four second slits 42 are provided, the second deformable portion 40 is divided into four second elastic pieces 43. The second elastic pieces 43 extend in the front-rear direction and are provided along the entire length of the second deformable portion 40. The second elastic pieces 43 are curved radially outward along the circumferential direction. The thickness of the second elastic piece 43 gradually decreases towards the second end 10b, that is, towards the tip. In Figure 6, etc., the circumferential positions of the first slit 32 and the second slit 42 are shown to be the same, but they may be different.
[0039] The second elastic piece 43 has a fixed end at one end and a free end at the other end (the second end 10b of the main body 10), and the second elastic piece 43 can be elastically deformed by bending radially with the fixed end as a fulcrum. A second slit 42 is located between adjacent second elastic pieces 43 in the circumferential direction. Multiple second elastic pieces 43 are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction. All of the multiple second elastic pieces 43 have the same shape. Therefore, multiple second elastic pieces 43 elastically deform radially to the same extent. Due to the formation of the second slit 42 in the second deformable portion 40, the third screw portion 41 is also partially divided by the second slit 42. The second elastic piece 43 has the same shape as the first elastic piece 33. Therefore, the first elastic piece 33 and the second elastic piece 43 elastically deform radially to the same extent as each other.
[0040] <Component structure of main body 10> The main body 10 may be composed of a single component, but in this embodiment, it is composed of multiple components that are separate from each other. Figure 7 shows an exploded view of the main body 10. The main body 10 comprises an outer cylinder 50 as an outer cylindrical portion, a first inner cylinder 51 as a first inner cylindrical portion that is inserted inward from the first open end 50a of the outer cylinder 50 and fixed to the outer cylinder 50, and a second inner cylinder 52 as a second inner cylindrical portion that is inserted inward from the second open end 50b of the outer cylinder 50 and fixed to the outer cylinder 50. The outer cylinder 50, the first inner cylinder 51, and the second inner cylinder 52 are all cylindrical. The inner circumferential surfaces of the first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52 constitute the wall surface of the insertion hole 20. The inner circumferential surfaces of the first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52 may be in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3, but it is preferable that they be slightly radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3. In other words, it is preferable that an annular gap be provided between the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3 and the inner circumferential surfaces of the first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52. The first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52 are identical parts. Figure 8 shows the first inner cylinder 51 in a standalone state as a representative example.
[0041] <Outer cylinder 50> The outer cylinder 50 is the main part of the body 10 and has a constant inner diameter. The outer cylinder 50 is provided with a reel mounting portion 21, a fixing hood 22, and a male screw portion 23. The first inner cylinder 51 is provided with a first deformation portion 30, and the second inner cylinder 52 is provided with a second deformation portion 40. The outer cylinder 50 has a first external engagement portion 60 and a second external engagement portion 61. The first external engagement portion 60 is provided on the first open end 50a side of the outer cylinder 50, and the second external engagement portion 61 is provided on the second open end 50b side of the outer cylinder 50. On the side of the outer cylinder 50 opposite the reel mounting portion 21 in the circumferential direction, the outer cylinder 50 has a thick-walled portion 62, which is the thickest part of the outer cylinder 50. On the radially inner side of the thick-walled portion 62, the first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52 face each other front to back, and are spaced apart. In other words, in the main body 10, the thickened portion 62 is located radially outside the non-overlapping portion 10c where the outer cylinder 50 and the first inner cylinder 51 or the second inner cylinder 52 do not overlap.
[0042] <First inner cylinder 51> The first inner cylinder 51 is a separate component from the outer cylinder 50. Therefore, the material of the first inner cylinder 51 can be different from that of the outer cylinder 50. In particular, it is preferable that the first inner cylinder 51 be made of a material that is more elastically deformable than the outer cylinder 50, i.e., a soft material. If the first inner cylinder 51 is softer than the outer cylinder 50, the first deformable part 30 can be elastically deformed more easily. Also, if the outer cylinder 50 is harder than the first inner cylinder 51, the legs 101 of the reel 100 can be firmly fixed to the outer cylinder 50.
[0043] The first inner cylinder 51 is partially inserted inward from the first open end 50a of the outer cylinder 50. The first inner cylinder 51 has a first inner engaging portion 63 that is inserted into the outer cylinder 50 and engages with the first outer engaging portion 60, and a first protruding portion 64 that protrudes from the first open end 50a of the outer cylinder 50. The first protruding portion 64 protrudes from the first open end 50a of the outer cylinder 50 so as to be away from the reel mounting portion 21. The outer circumferential surface of the first inner engaging portion 63 is a smooth surface with a constant diameter and no threads. The outer diameter of the first inner engaging portion 63 is approximately equal to the inner diameter of the first outer engaging portion 60. The outer circumferential surface of the first inner engaging portion 63 engages with the inner circumferential surface of the first outer engaging portion 60. The outer circumferential surface of the first inner engaging portion 63 is fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the first outer engaging portion 60, for example, by adhesive. Furthermore, the inner circumferential surface of the first outer engaging portion 60 and the outer circumferential surface of the first inner engaging portion 63 may be non-circular, such as polygons, in which case the circumferential movement of the first inner engaging portion 63 relative to the first outer engaging portion 60 is restricted. Preferably, the first inner engaging portion 63 has a length of more than half of the total length of the first inner cylinder 51. The inner circumferential surface of the first inner engaging portion 63 may be in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3, but it is preferable that it be slightly radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3. That is, as shown in Figure 4(a), it is preferable that an annular first gap 53 is provided between the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3 and the inner circumferential surface of the first inner engaging portion 63.
[0044] A first deformable portion 30 is provided on the first protrusion 64. In this embodiment, the entire first protrusion 64 is the first deformable portion 30. The first protrusion 64 is adjacent to the first internal engagement portion 63. The first inner cylinder 51 is divided into the first internal engagement portion 63 and the first protrusion 64. The inner diameter of the first deformable portion 30 is larger than the inner diameter of the first internal engagement portion 63 and larger than the outer diameter of the rod body 3. A first step 65 is provided at the first boundary between the inner circumferential surface of the first internal engagement portion 63 and the inner circumferential surface of the first deformable portion 30. However, the first step 65 may not be provided, and the inner circumferential surface of the first internal engagement portion 63 and the inner circumferential surface of the first deformable portion 30 may be flush, and the inner diameter of the first deformable portion 30 and the inner diameter of the first internal engagement portion 63 may be equal.
[0045] The end of the first threaded portion 31 on the side of the first internal engagement portion 63 abuts against the first open end 50a of the outer cylinder 50, thereby preventing further insertion of the first inner cylinder 51 into the outer cylinder 50. In other words, the end of the first threaded portion 31 on the side of the first internal engagement portion 63 functions as a stopper. As shown in Figure 6, the first internal engagement portion 63 has a first internal overlapping portion 63a that overlaps the radially inner side of the reel mounting portion 21, and a third internal overlapping portion 63b that overlaps the radially inner side of the male threaded portion 23. The first internal overlapping portion 63a overlaps with a portion of the total length of the reel mounting portion 21. The third internal overlapping portion 63b overlaps with the total length of the male threaded portion 23.
[0046] <Second inner cylinder 52> The second inner cylinder 52 is a separate component from the outer cylinder 50. Therefore, similar to the first inner cylinder 51, the material of the second inner cylinder 52 can be softer than the material of the outer cylinder 50. If the second inner cylinder 52 is softer than the outer cylinder 50, the second deformable part 40 is more easily elastically deformed. Also, if the outer cylinder 50 is harder than the second inner cylinder 52, the legs 101 of the reel 100 can be firmly fixed to the outer cylinder 50. Furthermore, if the first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52 are made of the same material, the first deformable part 30 and the second deformable part 40 will elastically deform to the same extent. Therefore, the operating feel of the first tightening member 70 and the second tightening member 71 will be the same, resulting in superior operability.
[0047] The second inner cylinder 52 is partially inserted inward from the second open end 50b of the outer cylinder 50. The second inner cylinder 52 has a second inner engaging portion 66 that is inserted into the outer cylinder 50 and engages with the second outer engaging portion 61, and a second protruding portion 67 that protrudes from the second open end 50b of the outer cylinder 50. The second protruding portion 67 protrudes from the second open end 50b of the outer cylinder 50 so as to be away from the reel mounting portion 21. As shown in Figure 8, the outer circumferential surface of the second inner engaging portion 66 is a smooth surface with a constant diameter and no threads. The outer diameter of the second inner engaging portion 66 is approximately equal to the inner diameter of the second outer engaging portion 61. The outer circumferential surface of the second inner engaging portion 66 engages with the inner circumferential surface of the second outer engaging portion 61. The outer circumferential surface of the second inner engaging portion 66 is fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the second outer engaging portion 61, for example, by adhesive. Furthermore, the inner circumferential surface of the second outer engaging portion 61 and the outer circumferential surface of the second inner engaging portion 66 may be polygonal or other non-circular shapes, in which case the circumferential movement of the second inner engaging portion 66 relative to the second outer engaging portion 61 is restricted. It is preferable that the second inner engaging portion 66 has a length of at least half the total length of the second inner cylinder 52. The inner circumferential surface of the second inner engaging portion 66 may be in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3, but it is preferable that it be slightly radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3. That is, as shown in Figure 4(b), it is preferable that an annular second gap 54 is provided between the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3 and the inner circumferential surface of the second inner engaging portion 66.
[0048] A second deformable portion 40 is provided on the second protrusion 67. In this embodiment, the entire second protrusion 67 is the second deformable portion 40. The second protrusion 67 is adjacent to the second internal engagement portion 66. The second inner cylinder 52 is divided into the second internal engagement portion 66 and the second protrusion 67. The inner diameter of the second deformable portion 40 is larger than the inner diameter of the second internal engagement portion 66 and larger than the outer diameter of the rod body 3. A second step 68 is provided at the second boundary between the inner circumferential surface of the second internal engagement portion 66 and the inner circumferential surface of the second deformable portion 40. However, the second step 68 may not be provided, and the inner circumferential surface of the second internal engagement portion 66 and the inner circumferential surface of the second deformable portion 40 may be flush, and the inner diameter of the second deformable portion 40 and the inner diameter of the second internal engagement portion 66 may be equal.
[0049] The end of the second threaded portion on the second internal engagement portion 66 side abuts against the second open end 50b of the outer cylinder 50, thereby preventing further insertion of the second inner cylinder 52 into the outer cylinder 50. In other words, the end of the second threaded portion on the second internal engagement portion 66 side functions as a stopper.
[0050] As shown in Figure 6, the second internal engagement portion 66 has a second internal overlapping portion 66a that overlaps the radially inner side of the reel mounting portion 21. The second internal overlapping portion 66a overlaps with a portion of the total length of the reel mounting portion 21. When the first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52 are inserted into the outer cylinder 50, the first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction, but may be in contact with each other. That is, the first internal engagement portion 63 and the second internal engagement portion 66 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction, but may be in contact with each other in the front-rear direction. The first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52 are coaxial with each other, and the outer cylinder 50, the first inner cylinder 51 and the second inner cylinder 52 are coaxial with each other. In this way, when the first internal engagement portion 63 of the first inner cylinder 51 and the second internal engagement portion 66 of the second inner cylinder 52 are inserted into the outer cylinder 50, the outer cylinder 50 becomes a double structure for most of its total length.
[0051] <Movable hood 11 and nut 12> As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the movable hood 11 is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the main body 10 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. The movable hood 11 is cylindrical. The movable hood 11 has an engaging projection (not shown). The engaging projection engages with the guide groove 24 of the main body 10. This allows the movable hood 11 to move in the front-rear direction relative to the main body 10, but not in the circumferential direction. The movable hood 11 holds the other end of the leg 101 of the reel 100 in the front-rear direction. The leg 101 of the reel 100 is clamped in the front-rear direction by the fixed hood 22 and the movable hood 11.
[0052] The nut 12 is screwed onto the male threaded portion 23 of the main body 10. The nut 12 is connected to the movable hood 11 so as to be circumferentially rotatable relative to it. By rotating the nut 12, the movable hood 11 can be moved in the front-rear direction. Preferably, the movable hood 11 and the nut 12 can pass through the first threaded portion 31, and preferably they can be removed from and attached to the main body 10 by passing through the first threaded portion 31.
[0053] <Pressing element 13> The pressing body 13 is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the main body 10. The pressing body 13 elastically deforms the main body 10 radially inward. The pressing body 13 has a first tightening member 70 and a second tightening member 71. The first tightening member 70 is cylindrical and is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the first deformation portion 30. The first tightening member 70 has a second threaded portion 70a on its inner circumferential surface. The second threaded portion 70a is screwed into the first threaded portion 31. The second threaded portion 70a is a tapered thread. The first tightening member 70 elastically deforms the first deformation portion 30 radially inward. The first tightening member 70 elastically deforms a plurality of first elastic pieces 33 collectively and evenly radially inward. When the first tightening member 70 is screwed in so that it approaches the reel mounting portion 21, the first elastic pieces 33 elastically deform radially inward. Conversely, when the first clamping member 70 is rotated away from the reel mounting portion 21, the first elastic piece 33 returns to its radially outward position. The first clamping member 70 can be removed from the first deformation portion 30 in the front-rear direction, and then the movable hood 11 and nut 12 can be removed from the main body 10 by passing them through the first deformation portion 30. The first clamping member 70 cannot be inserted into the male screw portion 23.
[0054] The second tightening member 71 is identical to the first tightening member 70 and is a common part of both. The second tightening member 71 is cylindrical and is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the second deformable portion 40. The second tightening member 71 has a fourth threaded portion 71a on its inner circumferential surface. The fourth threaded portion 71a is screwed into the second threaded portion 70a. The fourth threaded portion 71a is a tapered thread. The second tightening member 71 elastically deforms the second deformable portion 40 radially inward. The second tightening member 71 elastically deforms multiple second elastic pieces 43 collectively and evenly radially inward. When the second tightening member 71 is screwed towards the reel mounting portion 21, the second elastic pieces 43 elastically deform radially inward. Conversely, when the second tightening member 71 is rotated away from the reel mounting portion 21, the second elastic pieces 43 return to their radially outward position. The second clamping member 71 can be removed from the second deformation portion 40 in the front-rear direction. The second clamping member 71 cannot be placed on the outer circumferential surface of the outer cylinder 50.
[0055] <Holding body 14> The retainer 14 is provided between the inner circumferential surface of the main body 10 and the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3, and holds the main body 10 to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3. The retainer 14 has a first layered body 80 as a first layered part and a second layered body 81 as a second layered part. The first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 are separate components from the main body 10. The first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction. The first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 independently hold the main body 10 at two locations spaced apart in the front-rear direction of the rod body 3.
[0056] The first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 are both thin-walled cylindrical bodies with a constant diameter, and are made of a soft, elastic material such as rubber. In this embodiment, the first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 are the same part. The first layered body 80 is attached to the inner circumferential surface of the first deformation portion 30. The second layered body 81 is attached to the inner circumferential surface of the second deformation portion 40. Figure 5 shows the state in which the first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 have been separated from the reel seat 1.
[0057] The first layered body 80 is inserted inside the first deformable portion 30. The first layered body 80 abuts against the first step 65 between the inner circumferential surface of the first internal engagement portion 63 and the inner circumferential surface of the first deformable portion 30, and cannot proceed any further inward, i.e., towards the second end 10a side of the main body 10. The abutment of the first layered body 80 against the first step 65 determines the front-rear position of the first layered body 80. The length of the first layered body 80 is longer than the length of the first deformable portion 30, but may be equal to the length of the first deformable portion 30 or shorter. In this embodiment, the first layered body 80 partially protrudes from the first end 10a of the main body 10.
[0058] The thickness of the first layered body 80 is preferably greater than the first step 65, but may be the same as the first step 65. Figure 4 shows the relationship between the inner diameter of the first internal engagement portion 63, the inner diameter of the first layered body 80, and the outer diameter of the rod body 3. The inner diameter of the first internal engagement portion 63 is preferably larger than the inner diameter of the first layered body 80, and preferably larger than the outer diameter of the rod body 3. Therefore, it is preferable that the inner circumferential surface of the first internal engagement portion 63 is slightly separated from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3. By preventing the inner circumferential surface of the first internal engagement portion 63 from contacting the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3, the sliding resistance of the reel seat 1 relative to the rod body 3 is reduced, allowing the reel seat 1 to move easily relative to the rod body 3. The inner diameter of the first layered body 80 is preferably approximately equal to the outer diameter of the rod body 3, but may be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rod body 3.
[0059] The second layered body 81 is inserted inside the second deformable portion 40. The second layered body 81 abuts against the second step 68 between the inner circumferential surface of the second internal engagement portion 66 and the inner circumferential surface of the second deformable portion 40, and cannot proceed any further inward, i.e., towards the first end 10a side of the main body 10. The abutment of the second layered body 81 against the second step 68 determines the front-rear position of the second layered body 81. The length of the second layered body 81 is longer than the length of the second deformable portion 40, but may be equal to the length of the second deformable portion 40 or shorter. In this embodiment, the second layered body 81 partially protrudes from the second end 10b of the main body 10.
[0060] The thickness of the second layered body 81 is preferably greater than that of the second step 68, but may be the same as that of the second step 68. Figure 4 shows the relationship between the inner diameter of the second internal engagement portion 66, the inner diameter of the second layered body 81, and the outer diameter of the rod body 3. The inner diameter of the second internal engagement portion 66 is preferably larger than that of the second layered body 81, and preferably larger than that of the rod body 3. Therefore, it is preferable that the inner circumferential surface of the second internal engagement portion 66 is slightly separated from the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3. By preventing the inner circumferential surface of the second internal engagement portion 66 from contacting the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3, the sliding resistance of the reel seat 1 relative to the rod body 3 is reduced, allowing the reel seat 1 to move easily relative to the rod body 3. The inner diameter of the second layered body 81 is preferably approximately equal to the outer diameter of the rod body 3, but may be slightly larger than that.
[0061] The reel seat 1, configured as described above, is attached to the rod body 3, for example, as shown in Figure 9, with the first end 10a of the main body 10 facing the rear. However, the reel seat 1 may also be attached to the rod body 3 with the first end 10a of the main body 10 facing the front. By rotating and moving the first tightening member 70 to the front, the first deformable portion 30 can be elastically deformed radially inward. When the first deformable portion 30 is elastically deformed radially inward, the first deformable portion 30 presses the first layered body 80 against the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3. As a result, the first layered body 80 adheres tightly to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3. Similarly, by rotating and moving the second tightening member 71 to the rear, the second deformable portion 40 can be elastically deformed radially inward. When the second deformable portion 40 is elastically deformed radially inward, the second deformable portion 40 presses the second layered body 81 against the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 3. As a result, the second layered body 81 adheres tightly to the outer surface of the rod body 3. By pressing the first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 together at two locations separated front to back on the outer surface of the rod body 3, the reel seat 1 can be fixed to the desired position on the rod body 3.
[0062] Then, the legs 101 of the reel 100 are placed on the reel mounting section 21, and the front end 102 of the legs 101 are inserted into the fixed hood 22 to hold them in place. By rotating the nut 12 to move the movable hood 11 forward, the rear end 103 of the legs 101 is inserted into the movable hood 11 to hold them in place. This allows the reel 100 to be attached to the reel seat 1, and the reel 100 to be attached to the fishing rod.
[0063] The mounting position of the reel seat 1 can be changed arbitrarily. For example, it can be changed from the first mounting position shown in Figure 9(a) to the second mounting position shown in Figure 9(b), and the mounting position can be changed arbitrarily according to the angler's wishes. In that case, by loosening both the first tightening member 70 and the second tightening member 71, the pressure of the first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 on the outer surface of the rod body 3 is released. Therefore, the reel seat 1 can be moved to a desired position on the rod body 3. Since the first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 are in contact with the outer surface of the rod body 3 but are not pressed against it, the reel seat 1 can be easily moved in the front-back direction. Furthermore, in the section between the first layered body 80 and the second layered body 81 in the front-rear direction, the first internal engagement portion 63 of the first inner cylinder 51 and the second internal engagement portion 66 of the second inner cylinder 52 are spaced radially outward from the outer surface of the rod body 3 and do not come into contact with the outer surface of the rod body 3, so the reel seat 1 can be moved smoothly. When moving the reel seat 1 back and forth, the reel 100 may be attached to the reel seat 1, or it may be detached from the reel seat 1.
[0064] Furthermore, the reel seat 1 is also movable relative to the rod body 3 in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the orientation of the reel seat 1 relative to the rod body 3 can be changed to any desired orientation. Incidentally, by partially making the outer surface of the rod body 3 a non-circular shape such as a polygon, or by providing grooves in the front-to-back direction on the outer surface of the rod body 3, the reel seat 1 can be made movable relative to the rod body 3 in the front-to-back direction but not in the circumferential direction.
[0065] Furthermore, the first inner overlapping portion 63a and the second inner overlapping portion 66a overlap radially on the inside of the reel mounting portion 21. As a result, the reel mounting portion 21 is supported from the inside radially by the first inner overlapping portion 63a and the second inner overlapping portion 66a, and the legs 101 of the reel 100 mounted on the reel mounting portion 21 are stabilized. In particular, since the first inner overlapping portion 63a is located radially on the inside of the movable hood 11, the movable hood 11 can firmly hold the rear end portion 103 of the legs 101. Also, since the second inner overlapping portion 66a is located radially on the inside of the fixed hood 22, the fixed hood 22 can firmly hold the front end portion 102 of the legs 101.
[0066] Furthermore, the third internal overlapping portion 63b overlaps the radially inner side of the male screw portion 23. As a result, the male screw portion 23 is less prone to deformation, the nut 12 can be tightened securely, and the reel 100 can be securely fixed. In addition, the outer cylinder 50 can be made thinner, making weight reduction easier. The male screw portion 23 can also be made smaller in diameter, allowing the reel seat 1 to be made smaller in diameter. Furthermore, since the first internal engaging portion 63 and the second internal engaging portion 66 overlap the radially inner side of the outer cylinder 50, the outer cylinder 50 can be made thinner, and the strength of the main body 10 can be ensured. In particular, since the first internal engaging portion 63 and the second internal engaging portion 66 overlap over most of the total length of the outer cylinder 50, and most of the main body 10 has a double structure, the strength of the main body 10 can be improved. Furthermore, the portion of the outer cylinder 50 where the first internal engagement portion 63 and the second internal engagement portion 66 do not overlap, i.e., the non-overlapping portion 10c, is reinforced by the thickened portion 62 of the outer cylinder 50.
[0067] The configuration of the reel seat 1 may vary. For example, as shown in Figure 10, a metal plate-shaped reel mounting member 4 may be attached to the outer surface of the main body 10. The reel mounting member 4 is wrapped around the outer surface of the main body 10 with, for example, winding thread 5 and fixed in place by adhesive. The reel mounting member 4 comprises a base plate 4a having a reel mounting portion 21, a fixed hood 22, and a movable hood 11.
[0068] Furthermore, the rod mounting device is not limited to the reel seat 1. For example, as shown in Figure 11, the rod mounting device 2 may be equipped with a fishing line guide 6. That is, the rod mounting device 2 may be a movable guide. The fishing line guide 6 is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the main body 10. In this case, the fishing line guide 6 can be moved along the front-rear direction and fixed at any position on the rod body 3. In addition, the circumferential orientation of the fishing line guide 6 relative to the rod body 3 can also be changed.
[0069] In the above embodiment, a first layered body 80 separate from the main body 10 is provided as the first layered portion. However, the first layered portion may be, for example, an elastic layer or a rough friction layer integrally laminated on the inner circumferential surface of the first deformable portion 30. The first layered portion does not have to be cylindrical and may be provided only on the inner surface of one or more first elastic pieces 33. Similarly, the second layered portion may be, for example, an elastic layer or friction layer integrally laminated on the inner circumferential surface of the second deformable portion 40. The second layered portion does not have to be cylindrical and may be provided only on the inner surface of one or more second elastic pieces 43. The first layered portion and the second layered portion do not have to be separated from each other in the front-to-back direction and may be an integral structure. For example, a retainer 14 may be provided along the entire length of the main body 10.
[0070] In the above embodiment, the main body 10 comprises an outer cylinder 50, a first inner cylinder 51, and a second inner cylinder 52, which are separate components. However, the main body 10 may be composed of a single component. The first deformation portion 30 may be integrally formed on the main body 10, or the second deformation portion 40 may be integrally formed on the main body 10. [Explanation of symbols]
