Fishing Rod Guide Mounting Structure That Prevents Guide Leg Damage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing line guides on fishing rods are prone to damage during attachment and detachment due to excessive force applied to the guide leg, particularly when made of lightweight materials like fiber-reinforced resin.
Innovation Solution
A fishing rod with a guide attachment/detachment structure that includes a base component with a recess for the guide leg and a tubular fixing component that slides and press-fits over the base, allowing secure attachment without applying direct force to the guide leg.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the guide leg is inserted into the opening portion of the tubular insertion member for attachment, then the fishing line guide can be securely fixed to the rod, but the guide leg may be bent or damaged due to excessive force applied during insertion
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment structure is divided into separate components: a base component with a recess that receives the guide leg, and a tubular fixing component that covers the base component. This segmentation allows the guide leg to be protected within the recess while still enabling secure attachment through the fixing component, preventing direct insertion forces from damaging the guide leg.
Solution Approach 2:
The base component acts as an intermediary between the guide leg and the rod surface. It provides a recess that cradles the guide leg, distributing attachment forces away from the guide leg itself and preventing direct insertion forces from bending or damaging the guide leg during attachment operations.
2Ease of operation
If the guide leg is pinched and inserted into the opening portion during attachment, then the fishing line guide can be attached to the rod, but the guide leg is likely to be damaged when made of fiber-reinforced resin
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the attachment mechanism into a base component and a fixing component, the guide leg is isolated from direct insertion forces. The base component with its recess provides a protective cradle for the guide leg during attachment operations, making the process easier while preventing damage to the fiber-reinforced resin material.
Solution Approach 2:
The recess in the base component is designed beforehand to cradle and protect the guide leg during attachment operations. This pre-designed protective structure prevents excessive forces from reaching the guide leg, cushioning it against bending and folding before damage can occur.
3Reliability
If a fixing member such as adhesive is used to fill the opening portion, then the fishing line guide can be fixed to the rod, but the guide leg remains vulnerable to damage during insertion and detachment
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment system is segmented into a base component with a recess and a separate tubular fixing component. This segmentation allows the guide leg to be protected within the recess while the fixing component provides the necessary bonding or mechanical fixation, eliminating the need for adhesive in the opening portion and protecting the guide leg from insertion forces.
Solution Approach 2:
The base component serves as an intermediary structure that protects the guide leg from harmful forces during attachment and detachment operations. The recess cradles the guide leg, preventing direct contact with insertion forces, while the fixing component provides the necessary fixation without compromising the guide leg's integrity.
