Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, the said Patent Document 1 is an invention called a bait reel offset handle, which is used in shallow seas, marshes, rivers, etc. such as black bass fishing, and has a different use from jigging (also called "lure fishing") used in deep fishing. Originally, it is very difficult to apply it to jigging. Also, in Patent Document 1, the offset is only slightly bent, and the distance between the handle knob of the reel, which is the fulcrum point, and the rod (fishing rod) still remains far. Therefore, when winding the reel, there is play between the rod and the handle knob. Due to this play, the burden on the person winding up the fish increases, and there are drawbacks such as the risk of hurting the wrist. Also, in deep water areas, it is difficult to tell when the fish bites, it is difficult to apply force to pull up the fish, and there are drawbacks such as the body's bracing not being effective.

[0006] Patent Document 2 and Non-Patent Document 1 also have the same problems as Patent Document 1.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a handle arm structure for jigging that reduces the burden on the person winding up the fish, prevents hurting the wrist, makes it easy to tell when the fish bites, makes it easy to apply force to pull up the fish, and has good bracing in the use of jigging fishing gear.

[0008] Jigging, as shown in Figure 2 of Patent No. 6979709, uses a rig consisting of a rod, reel, main line, leader, jig, and hook. PE line, which is thin yet strong and has little stretch, is commonly used as the main line. Its thickness and strength are indicated by a number or kilogram, with higher numbers indicating thicker and stronger lines. For example, a No. 2 line can withstand a load of 14 kg, and a No. 3 line can withstand a load of 20 kg. Anglers choose the No. based on their preference and the type of fish they are targeting. The leader is a line tied to the end of the main line to prevent breakage due to abrasion against rocks or teeth, and is typically 2-3 meters long. For the leader, a different type of fishing line is used, such as fluorocarbon or nylon line, which is stronger and thicker than the main line. The jig and hook are tied to the end of the leader. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention comprises a handle arm attached to a reel body on which a rod is mounted, with one end rotatably provided to the side of the rotation axis of the reel body, and a handle knob attached to the other end of the handle arm, wherein the handle arm has a first straight section parallel to the rod, an inclined section bent at an angle from the first straight section to approach the rod, with an inclination angle of 30 to 50 degrees relative to the first straight section, and a second straight section extending from the inclined section and parallel to the rod, the total length of the handle arm is set to 120 mm to 150 mm, and the distance between the second straight section and the rod is set to 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm. The angle between the inclined section and the second straight section is set to 30 to 50 degrees, the width of the handle arm is set to 20 mm to 40 mm, the effective length of the first straight section is set to 25 mm to 80 mm, the length of the inclined section is set to 50 mm to 70 mm, and the effective length of the second straight section is set to 20 mm to 45 mm. This is a jigging handle arm structure characterized by the following features. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to this invention, the point of force application of the handle knob is bent inward more drastically than conventional designs, bringing the point of force application as close to the rod as possible. This reduces the aforementioned wobble and allows the reel to be wound in a comfortable position. In environments where jigging is used, there are many situations where the reel is wound in for long periods of time, and furthermore, it is used in fishing where it is necessary to wind in quickly, so the effect of winding in extremely smoothly without wobbling the rod and handle knob is significant. Moreover, when used in jigging reels at sea, the effect is tremendous. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0014] [Figure 1] This is a plan view of a jigging handle arm structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a perspective view of a jigging handle arm structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a side view of the handle arm as a plate material before the inclination is added to the jigging handle arm structure of an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a plan view of the handle arm as an inclined member after the inclination has been added to the jigging handle arm structure of an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] This is a plan view of a jigging handle arm structure as a comparative example. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] A preferred embodiment of the jigging handle arm structure 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4.

[0016] Figs. 1 and 2 are diagrams showing a state in which the grip portion 102 of the rod 101 is attached to the reel main body 103 to which the digging handle arm structure 1 of the present embodiment is attached. The digging handle arm structure 1 is attached to the reel main body 103, and includes a handle arm 2 having one end rotatably provided on the side of the rotation axis 104 of the mechanism portion of the reel main body 103, and a handle knob 4 attached to the other end of the handle arm 2 via a handle shaft 3.

[0017] A spool 106 is rotatably accommodated between both side portions of the reel main body 103 and is interlocked with the handle arm 2 via a gear group (not shown) and the like. The handle arm 2 is rotatable in the winding direction of the fishing line (line) and can rotate the spool 106 to wind the line, but the rotation is restricted in the feeding direction of the fishing line. In front of the reel main body 103, a level winder 107 for guiding the fishing line in conjunction with the rotation of the handle arm 2 is provided to uniformly wind the fishing line around the spool 106. A mechanical brake 108 is provided on the reel main body 103.

[0018] The handle arm 2 has a first straight portion 21 parallel to the rod 101, an inclined portion 22 that is bent so as to incline and approach the rod 101 from the first straight portion 21, and the inclination angle with respect to the first straight portion 21 is set to 30 degrees to 50 degrees, and a second straight portion 23 that extends from the inclined portion 22 and is parallel to the rod 101.

[0019] Let the effective length from the center of the rotation axis 104 to the center of the handle shaft 3 be ET. Let the angle formed by the first straight portion 21 and the inclined portion 22 be α, the angle formed by the second straight portion 23 and the inclined portion 22 be β, and the distance between the second straight portion 23 and the rod 101 be W. Let the point of force be E.

[0020] Set the overall length T (see Fig. 4) of the handle arm 2 to be 120 mm to 150 mm and the effective length ET to be 100 mm to 130 mm, and extend the end of the second straight portion 23 so as to move away from the reel body 103 (in the direction away from the rotation axis 104). If the overall length exceeds the upper limit, it will be inconvenient to turn, and if it is below the lower limit, the lengths of the first straight portion 21 and the inclined portion 22 will not be sufficient, resulting in contact with the finger or the need for a strong force to rotate the handle arm 2. Set the distance W between the second straight portion 23 and the rod 101 to be 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm. If the distance W is less than 2.5 cm, it will be inconvenient to contact the finger holding the grip portion 102, and if the distance W exceeds 3.5 cm, it will be inconvenient to require a strong force to rotate the handle arm 2 due to play. In Fig. 4, J is the lateral width of the reel body 303, 56 mm to 120 mm, K is the length of the reel body 303, 55 mm to 80 mm, and the diameter L of the rod 101 is 8 mm to 10 mm. For these ranges, all combinations of the above overall length T of 120 mm to 150 mm, effective length ET of 100 mm to 130 mm, and distance W of 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm are suitable.

[0021] Fig. 3 is a metal plate as a raw material, which is bent at a specific angle with respect to the bending line to form the handle arm 2 in Fig. 4. The plate has an overall length of T0 and a height of H1, and the bending positions M , ,

[0023] ,

[0022] , and the bending position M 20 are bent at two places to form the bending portions 7 and 8 in Fig. 4 respectively. A first mounting hole 5 (for example, an oblong hole with a length of 5 mm and a width of 8 mm) for mounting on the rotation axis 104 and a second mounting hole 6 (for example, an M6 screw hole) for mounting the handle shaft 3 are provided.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 3, it is inclined so that the height gradually decreases from H1 to H2 from the ends of the first straight portion 21 and the second straight portion 23 toward the central portion of the inclined portion 22. Thereby, the effect of reducing the force when winding the handle arm 2 (especially when pushing and rotating the handle arm 2) is produced.

[0023] In Figure 4, the total length of the handle arm 2 is T, the effective length is ET, the non-effective lengths are ET1 and ET2, the effective length of the first straight section 21 is C, the length of the inclined section 22 is G, the effective length of the second straight section is S, the width is Y, and the thickness of the plate is TH.

[0024] The jigging handle arm structure 1 comprises a handle arm 2 that is pivotally attached to the rotation axis 104 of the reel body 103, a handle shaft 3 perpendicular to the rod 101, and a handle knob 4 attached to the handle shaft 3. The handle arm 2 is provided with bends 7 and 8.

[0025] The handle arm 2 is rotatably supported on the rotation axis 104 at one end, and the handle knob 4 is rotatably mounted at the other end. As described above, the handle arm 2 has bent portions 7 and 8, and the other end of the handle arm 2 is bent so as to be offset toward the reel body 103.

[0026] A star drag 109 is positioned on the handle arm 2 side of the reel body 103. The star drag 109 is positioned inside (towards the rotation axis 104) of the second straight section 23 of the handle arm 2 so that the two do not interfere with each other. In addition, a mechanical brake 108 for adjusting the rotation of the spool 106 is provided on the handle arm 2 side of the reel body 103.

[0027] The casting technique is the same as in general fishing techniques, so I will omit the explanation.

[0028] After the lure hits the water during the casting motion, the angler switches the grip section 102 of the rod 101 to their left hand and grips the handle knob 4 with their right hand to operate the handle.

[0029] When a fish is caught on the hook, the angler holds the grip section 102 of the rod 101 with their left hand and operates the handle knob 4 and the level winder 107, etc., to wind the line onto the spool 106.

[0030] Figure 5 shows a comparative example of a jigging handle arm structure. Corresponding elements are numbered with a suffix in the 200s, and dimensions and other English letters are preceded by dashes. The symbols J, K, and L from Figure 1 are used, so the illustrations are omitted.

[0031] In the jigging handle arm structure 1, as shown in Figures 1-4, compared to the comparative example in Figure 5, one end of the handle arm 2 is bent extremely in two places toward the reel body 103. Therefore, when rotating the handle knob 4, the position of the point of force application E of the handle knob 4 is brought as close as possible to the rod 101, and the handle knob 4 is also extended, thereby reducing the aforementioned wobble and making it possible to reel in the line with little force in a comfortable position. In environments where jigging is used, there are many situations where reeling is done for a long time, and furthermore, it is used in fishing where reeling is required quickly, so the effect of being able to reel in extremely smoothly without wobbling the rod 101 and the handle arm 2 is great. Moreover, when used in a jigging reel at sea, the effect is tremendous. Furthermore, it makes it easier to judge whether or not a fish has bitten, makes it easier to apply force when reeling in, and has the effect of allowing the body to brace itself. [Examples]

[0032] The dimensions of the handle arm 2 in the embodiment before bending, as shown in Figure 3, are: total length T0 = 128 mm, height H1 = 30 mm, height H2 = 6 mm (6 mm to 8 mm is also acceptable), and bending position M 10 and bending position M 20 The distance is 56mm (55-57mm is also acceptable).

[0033] Referring to Figure 4, the dimensions of the handle arm 2 after bending are as follows: angle α = 32° (30-50° is also acceptable), angle β = 32° (30-50° is also acceptable), width Y = 36 mm (20 mm-46 mm), thickness TH = 5 mm (3 mm-6 mm), total length T of the handle arm 2 = 120 mm (120 mm-150 mm), effective length ET = 100 mm (96 mm-135 mm), non-effective length ET1 = 14 mm (10 mm-16 mm), ET2 = 6 mm (5 mm-8 mm), effective length C of the first straight section 21 = 28 mm (25 mm-80 mm, preferably 42 mm-80 mm), length G of the inclined section 22 = 56 mm (50 mm-70 mm), and effective length S of the second straight section = 37 mm (20 mm-45 mm, preferably 27 mm-45 mm). The values ​​in parentheses indicate preferred ranges. Effective length refers to the length excluding the area of ​​fastening parts such as bolts and nuts.

[0034] This invention can solve multiple problems simultaneously and has great industrial value in fisheries, recreational fishing, and leisure.

Such modifications and equivalents are also included within the technical scope of the present invention. [Explanation of Symbols]
