Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the fishing line passer of Patent Document 1 has poor storage property, and there is a problem that the fishing line passer is often lost or forgotten to be brought to the fishing ground. In addition, since it is made of metal, there is a risk of damaging the inside of the rod.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a fishing line passer with high operability and storage property.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a fishing line passer used when inserting a fishing line into the inside of a through-type fishing rod having a fishing line introduction portion for introducing the fishing line and a fishing line export portion for exporting the fishing line, which has an elongated shape, It is composed of a polymer alloy made by mixing two or more polymers or copolymers containing polyvinylidene fluoride or polyvinyl acetate. is formed of a thermoplastic resin, 27℃~47℃The material can change its form between a softened state and a hardened state at the glass transition temperature. In its softened state, it can be deformed into a coiled shape, and in its hardened state, it can be held in a straight line. The fishing line is connected to the fishing line, and then inserted into the fishing line introduction section and removed from the fishing line exit section while in a hardened state below the glass transition temperature.

[0007] According to the present invention, the material can change its form between a softened state and a hardened state depending on the temperature. In other words, it is hardened when inserted into a fishing rod together with the fishing line, and softened when stored or when connected to the fishing line. By changing its form according to the situation in this way, operability and storage can be improved. When storing, it is softened and can be wrapped around a fishing rod or storage container, for example. Furthermore, for example, it can be softened by body temperature and hardened by wetting it with water. Also, the materials can be procured inexpensively and easily.

[0012] The width is preferably 1 mm or more and less than 3 mm.

[0013] According to the present invention, operability can be further improved.

[0014] Furthermore, it is preferable to have a cover member provided at the tip that reduces in diameter in the direction of insertion.

[0015] According to the present invention, it can be easily inserted using a through-hole fishing rod.

[0016] Furthermore, it is preferable that a magnetic material is attached to the cover member.

[0017] According to the present invention, since the magnetic material can be pulled from the outside by a magnet or the like, it can be easily inserted using a through-line fishing rod. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] According to the present invention, a fishing line threading tool with high operability and storage capabilities can be provided. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] <First Embodiment> The first embodiment of the fishing line passing tool according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are omitted as appropriate.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the through-type fishing rod 1 includes a rod shaft 2, a reel seat 3, an end cap 4, a fishing line introduction part 5, and a fishing line outlet part 6. The through-type fishing rod 1 is provided on the rod shaft 2 in the order of the fishing line outlet part 6, the fishing line introduction part 5, the reel seat 3, and the end cap 4 from the tip side.

[0022] The rod shaft 2 is a telescopic rod shaft including a base rod tube 2A, a middle rod tube 2B, and a tip rod tube 2C. The base rod tube 2A, the middle rod tube 2B, and the tip rod tube 2C are all cylindrical, and are formed of, for example, a fiber reinforced resin. Note that the rod shaft 2 may be a jointed rod, and the number of tubes constituting the rod shaft 2 may be any number as long as it is one or more.

[0023] The reel seat 3 is a cylindrical member to which a fishing reel R around which a fishing line T is wound is detachably fixed. The material of the reel seat 3 is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, it is formed of resin in consideration of weight reduction. The rod shaft 2 is inserted into the hollow part inside the reel seat 3 and fixed by adhesion.

[0024] The end cap 4 is a bottomed cylindrical member that seals the butt end of the main rod tube 2A. The fishing line introduction section 5 is a member that introduces the fishing line T unwound from the reel R into the inside of the rod shaft 2. As shown in Figure 2, the fishing line introduction section 5 comprises a fishing line introduction guide 5A that bulges out from the side of the main rod tube 2A and a line introduction hole 5B formed on the side of the main rod tube 2A.

[0025] The fishing line introduction guide 5A is provided with a line introduction guide ring 5C, and the line introduction hole 5B is provided with a guide ring 5D. These line introduction guide rings 5C and 5D are for the smooth sliding of the fishing line T and are made of, for example, ceramic or metal and attached in predetermined positions.

[0026] A butt cap 8 is attached to the rear end of the central rod tube 2B, and a guide ring 8A is attached to the butt cap 8 to guide the fishing line T introduced from the fishing line introduction section 5. This guide ring 8A is made of a metal such as ceramic, aluminum, or stainless steel.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, a fishing line outlet section 6 is attached to the tip of the rod tip tube 2C. The fishing line outlet section 6 is integrally formed in a cylindrical shape from, for example, resin or metal, and is attached by fitting it into the tip of the rod tip tube 2C.

[0028] Next, an embodiment of a fishing line threading tool used when threading a fishing line through the through-hole fishing rod 1 configured as described above will be explained with reference to Figures 1 to 4.

[0029] As shown in Figure 3, the fishing line threader 10 has an elongated shape. The width of the fishing line threader 10 can be set appropriately within a range that allows it to be inserted through the rod 2 together with the fishing line T, but for example, it can be set appropriately within a range of 1 mm or more and less than 3 mm. The cross-sectional shape of the fishing line threader 10 is rectangular, but it may also be circular, elliptical, triangular, or other shapes. Furthermore, the fishing line threader 10 may also be in the shape of an elongated strip.

[0030] The fishing line threader 10 is made of a thermoplastic resin and can change its form between a softened state and a hardened state at the glass transition temperature. The fishing line threader 10 is made of a thermoplastic resin whose glass transition temperature is near body temperature. Specifically, it is preferable to use a thermoplastic resin with a glass transition temperature of 27°C or higher and 37°C or lower. Examples of thermoplastic resins that can be used include polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinyl acetate. In addition, a polymer alloy made by mixing two or more polymers or copolymers can be used as the thermoplastic resin. Examples of combinations include PA / PP (polyamide / polypropylene), PA / PPE (polyamide / polyphenylene ether), PA / ABS (polyamide / acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer synthetic resin), PBT / ABS (polybutylene terephthalate / acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer synthetic resin), and PP / PC (polypropylene / polycarbonate).

[0031] In its softened state, the fishing line threader 10 is flexible and can be reshaped to any desired form. For example, as shown in Figure 5, it can be wrapped around the outer surface of the main rod tube 2A for storage. Although not shown in detail, it can also be wrapped around a storage container for storage. Furthermore, in its softened state, it can be tied to and connected to the fishing line T, as shown in Figure 4.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3, the fishing line threader 10 can be hardened by wetting it with water or the like to bring its temperature below the glass transition temperature. For example, by immersing the fishing line threader 10 in water while it is stretched straight, a hardened, straight fishing line threader 10 can be formed. Note that the means of cooling the fishing line threader 10 are not limited to water. For example, if the ambient temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, it can be hardened simply by leaving it stretched straight.

[0033] For example, after softening the fishing line T and connecting the fishing line threader 10, water is brought into contact with the fishing line threader 10 to harden it into a straight shape. Then, the fishing line threader 10 with the fishing line T attached is inserted through the fishing line introduction section 5, moved inside the rod 2, and pulled out from the fishing line exit section 6 at the tip, thereby allowing the fishing line T to be threaded into the inside of the rod 2.

[0034] As described above, the fishing line threader 10 according to this embodiment is elongated, made of thermoplastic resin, and can change its form between a softened state and a hardened state at the glass transition temperature. This allows the user to change its form between a softened state and a hardened state depending on the temperature. In other words, when storing or connecting to a fishing line T, the temperature of the fishing line threader 10 is increased to above the glass transition temperature, thereby softening the fishing line threader 10.

[0035] On the other hand, when inserting the fishing line T into the through-hole fishing rod 1, the temperature of the fishing line threader 10 is lowered to below its glass transition temperature, thereby hardening the fishing line threader 10. The hardened fishing line threader 10 can then be inserted into the fishing line introduction section 5 and removed from the fishing line exit section 6 to guide the fishing line T into the rod shaft 2. In this way, the shape can be changed according to the situation, improving operability and storage. Furthermore, since the fishing line threader 10 is made of resin, it can prevent damage to the inside of the through-hole fishing rod 1.

[0036] Furthermore, thermoplastic resins have a glass transition temperature of 27°C to 47°C. This means that by using a thermoplastic resin with a glass transition temperature close to human body temperature, the fishing line threader 10 can be softened by, for example, squeezing it in your hand. Conversely, the fishing line threader 10 can be cooled and hardened by wetting it with seawater or river water. Therefore, switching between the softened and hardened states can be easily done without using any special tools.

[0037] Furthermore, the thermoplastic resin is composed of polyvinylidene fluoride or polyvinyl acetate. Therefore, it is possible to easily switch between a softened state and a hardened state. In addition, the material can be procured inexpensively and easily.

[0038] Furthermore, if the width of the fishing line threader 10 is 1 mm or more, it is possible to prevent it from bending midway when inserted into the rod 2 in its hardened state, making insertion difficult. Also, if the width of the fishing line threader 10 is less than 3 mm, it becomes easier to insert it through the rod 2, and it is also possible to change its shape more easily when it is softened. Therefore, the operability can be further improved.

[0039] <Second Embodiment> Next, as shown in Figure 6, a fishing line threader 10A according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The fishing line threader 10A of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a cover member 20 is attached to the tip portion of the fishing line threader (the same as the fishing line threader 10 of the first embodiment).

[0040] The cover member 20 is constructed by overlapping a pair of cover bodies 21. The cover body 21 is hollow inside. The cover body 21 is made of ABS resin, ASA resin, PLA resin, PP resin, PET resin, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, polyamide resin, or resins containing reinforcing fibers such as carbon. The cover body 21 can be easily manufactured, for example, by a 3D printer.

[0041] The cover body 21 has a semi-dome shape and includes a bottom portion 21a, a rear end portion 21b, a protruding portion 21c, and a front end portion 21d. The bottom portion 21a is the portion facing the other cover body 21. The rear end portion 21b is the portion that rises perpendicularly to the bottom portion 21a from the rear end of the bottom portion 21a and comes into contact with the fishing line threading device 10A. The protruding portion 21c is the portion that protrudes in a direction away from the bottom portion 21a. The front end portion 21d is the portion that rises perpendicularly to the bottom portion 21a from the front end of the bottom portion 21a. The cover body 21 is configured to decrease in diameter from the protruding portion 21c to the front end portion 21d.

[0042] The cover member 20 further comprises a magnetic material 22. The magnetic material 22 is a substance capable of becoming magnetic. The magnetic material 22 is composed of, for example, iron oxide, chromium oxide, cobalt, nickel, ferrite, cadrinium, etc. In this embodiment, the magnetic material 22 is arranged in a part between the protrusion 21c and the tip 21d, but it may be arranged throughout the entire cover body 21. Also, two or more magnetic materials 22 may be arranged.

[0043] The fishing line threader 10A according to the second embodiment can achieve substantially the same effects as the first embodiment. Furthermore, because it is equipped with a cover member 20 at the tip that decreases in diameter in the insertion direction, it can be inserted more easily into the rod 2. In addition, since the cover bodies 21, 21 can cover the knot between the fishing line T and the fishing line threader 10A, it is possible to prevent the knot from getting caught inside the rod 2 when inserting the fishing line T.

[0044] Furthermore, since the magnetic material 22 is attached to the cover member 20, the magnetic material 22 can be guided from outside the rod 2 using a magnet or the like, making it easy to insert the fishing line T through the rod 2.

[0045] While embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the design can be modified as appropriate without violating the spirit of the invention. For example, in this embodiment, a fishing line introduction section is provided on the butt end of the rod and a fishing line exit section is provided on the tip end of the rod. However, the fishing line threading device 10 and the fishing line T may be introduced from the tip end of the rod and exited from the butt end of the rod. In other words, the tip end may be the fishing line introduction section and the butt end may be the fishing line exit section. [Explanation of Symbols]
