Description

The present invention relates to a swing-out fishing rod.

Conventionally, a swing-type fishing rod is known. A swing-out type fishing rod stores a plurality of rods inside a base rod, pulls out each rod in turn from the inside of the base rod, and attaches the rear end of a small diameter rod to the tip of the large diameter rod. Used by splicing. Such a swing-out fishing rod has the advantage of being more convenient to carry than a parallel rod. , 2 to prevent the stored rods from protruding.

In addition, in recent fishing, it is difficult to carry a long rod, transportation is not possible due to restrictions by shipping companies, and transportation costs are rising. Fishing rods (also called mobile rods) have received much attention. Such a mobile rod has a short base rod so that it can be stored in a bag or an accessory case, and has a large number of rods, so that it can be easily used when fishing. there is

A protective cover or a top cover (hereinafter referred to as a protective cover) attached to the swing-out type fishing rod as described above prevents the rod from carelessly protruding or being damaged when stored, and furthermore, prevents the fishing line from being inserted. In the case of a fishing rod equipped with a fishing line guide, the fishing line guide plays a role of protecting the fishing line guide from damage. Such a protective cover needs to be stored somewhere else when fishing, but if it is lost or damaged by stepping on the ground, the fishing rod is stored without the protective cover. As a result, there arises a problem that the rod and the fishing line guide are damaged during transportation. Moreover, when fishing, the protective cover becomes an unnecessary component, which is inconvenient to store and handle.

In addition to the above-mentioned problems, the mobile rod described above needs to shorten the base rod to reduce the size of the final rod. Since the total length of the time is shortened, there arises a problem that the operability is deteriorated, such as restrictions on usage conditions.

On the other hand, the fishing gear used together with the mobile rod is individually stored in a storage body such as a storage case and carried together with the mobile rod. In some cases, the luggage is bulky and the use of the mobile rod, which is excellent in mobility and portability, cannot be effectively used.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and is capable of securing a storage space for fishing gear used for fishing, and preventing the loss or damage of the protective cover during use. To provide a swing-type fishing rod with good operability.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a swing-out fishing rod that includes a base rod that houses a plurality of rods, and joins each of the housed rods in a swing-out manner, the base rod A cover member is attached to the rods so that the plurality of rods do not protrude, and the cover member constitutes a grip that can be attached to and detached from the rear end of the base rod, and the grip. It is characterized by defining inside a storage space capable of storing a fishing tackle when constructing the.

In the swing-out type fishing rod with the above configuration, a cover member (protective cover) that does not project the plurality of rods housed in the base rod constitutes a grip detachable from the rear end of the base rod (combined use). Therefore, the cover member can be prevented from being lost or damaged during actual fishing, and the cover member can be effectively utilized, resulting in excellent handleability of the cover member. In addition, since the cover member is attached to the base rod as a grip, the base rod can be lengthened during use, and since it functions as a cover member when stored, it is easy to transport and use. operability is improved. Furthermore, in the above configuration, since the cover member defines a storage space in which the fishing gear can be stored when the grip is constructed, the fishing gear used together with the fishing rod can be stored compactly in the storage space of the cover member. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to individually store fishing gear in a storage body such as a storage case and carry it together with the mobile rod, and the use of the mobile rod, which is not bulky and has excellent mobility and portability, can be effectively used. can be If the cover member is used as a fishing tackle storage case by making effective use of the space inside the cover member in this way, not only the portability of the mobile rod but also the storage capacity can be increased, which is beneficial.

It is preferable that the cover member that defines such a housing space inside is configured by a cylindrical body that covers the base rod along the axial direction. According to this, the accommodation space can be effectively and easily formed in the cover member. In the above configuration, the term "fishing tackle" refers not only to articles exclusively for fishing, such as floats, lures, weights, tackle, and replacement spools for reels, but also to articles originally used for purposes other than fishing. It can include anything that can be used for cleaning (eg, cloth, water, sand, etc.).

Moreover, it is preferable that the fishing rod configured as described above further includes a housing body that is mounted in the housing space of the cover member and that receives and houses the fishing tackle. In the above configuration, the fishing tackle may be accommodated directly in the accommodation space of the cover member. It is also possible to stably hold and store the object. In this sense, the container may be an elastically deformable soft member (e.g., EVA, rubber, etc.), a cushioning material such as a foamed material (e.g., polyurethane, etc.), or a rigid member (e.g., metal, materials such as resin, wood, etc.) and soft members (materials such as EVA, rubber, etc.).

Moreover, in the above configuration, it is preferable that the container is detachable from the cover member and has a threaded portion that is screwed and fixed to the cover member. According to this, since the container is detachable, it becomes easy to store the fishing tackle in the container. In addition, since the container has the threaded portion, the container can be stably arranged inside the cover member by fixing using the threaded portion, and the container can be prevented from moving and rattling within the cover member. .

Moreover, in the above configuration, the container may constitute the balance weight. For example, in the case of throwing the fishing rod, such as when using it as a casting rod, or in the waiting state during actual fishing in which a fish is usually caught, the position of the fishing rod held by the hand is used first. The hand side is short compared to the length of the side, and therefore the weight balance with the position of the holding hand as the fulcrum is imbalanced. This is because it is possible to solve the problem that the front part is heavy, that is, the so-called feeling of weight cannot be eliminated in the case of the state. If the containing body constitutes a balance weight, it is possible to bring the weight balance closer to a balanced state simply by mounting the containing body in the cover member.

Further, in the above configuration, it is preferable that the container is covered with the cover member so that the plurality of rods do not protrude with respect to the base rod, thereby suppressing rattling of the rods inside the cover member. According to this, it is possible to avoid situations in which the rod rod and the fishing line guide rattle in the cover member, generate abnormal noise, and collide with the cover member to damage the rod rod and the fishing line guide. In addition, such a storage body exists between the inner surface of the cover member and the rod and the fishing line guide and occupies a space that allows them to move freely, thereby preventing the rod and the fishing line guide from rattling. can be prevented.

According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a swing-type fishing rod that can secure a storage space for fishing gear used for fishing, that prevents the protective cover from being lost or damaged during use, and that has excellent transportability and operability. be done.

As is well known, the fishing rod 1 of the present invention sequentially swings out a plurality of rods 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e, . A plurality of rods are sequentially stored in a rod with a large diameter, and all the rods are stored in a rod with the largest diameter (original rod) 5. state. In the present invention, the number of rods (number of joints) housed inside the base rod 5 is arbitrary, and the N rods (rod 6a to rod 6N) are sequentially larger in diameter. , and the rod rod 6N, which has the smallest diameter, serves as the tip rod.

1(a) and 2 do not show all of the rods to be housed. In addition, in FIG. 1(a), for the sake of clarity, the housed rod is shown, but since the base rod 5 is covered with a cover member 30, which will be described later, the base rod is exposed. (See FIG. 1(b)). Furthermore, the fishing rod of this embodiment is equipped with a reel seat and a fishing line guide, and is configured so that both types of reels, a spinning reel and a dual-bearing reel, can be used. Therefore, when using a spinning reel, the reel seat and fishing line guide are directed downward, and when using a dual-bearing reel, the reel seat and fishing line guide are directed upward.

As described above, the fishing rod 1 of the present embodiment is configured to be usable by attaching a reel such as a spinning reel or a double-bearing reel. Fishing line guides 8, 8a to 8N are attached (attached) for guiding the insertion of the fishing line. In this case, the fishing line guide 8N is a so-called tip guide. Although FIG. 1(a) does not show the fishing line guide 8 attached to the base rod 5 shown in FIG. 2, the fishing line guide 8 is detachable as described later. Also, a part of the fishing line guide may include a floating guide.

The base rod 5 and the plurality of rods 6a to 6N housed in the base rod 5 are configured as tubular bodies made of fiber-reinforced resin as is well known. , glass fiber, etc.) is formed according to a standard method, such as winding a fiber-reinforced resin prepreg sheet impregnated with a synthetic resin such as epoxy resin around a mandrel, heating it, and then removing the core. The tip rod and rod 6N may be composed of a solid body, or a combination of a solid body and a tubular body, instead of the tubular body.

The base rod 5 is provided with a reel seat 7 on which a reel is mounted. The reel seat 7 is provided in the base end region of the base rod 5. As is well known, the reel leg mounting portion 7a on which the reel leg is mounted and the reel leg mounting portion 7a are arranged in front and rear thereof to tighten the reel leg. It has hood portions 7b and 7c. In this embodiment, the hood portion 7c on the rear side is a fixed hood, and the hood portion 7b on the front side is a moving hood that moves in the axial direction (hereinafter referred to as the moving hood 7b and the fixed hood 7c). .

The fixed hood 7c is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the base end portion of the base rod 5, and has a receiving hole 7ca that opens toward the reel leg mounting portion 7a. Further, the moving hood 7b is provided with a receiving hole 7ba that opens toward the reel leg mounting portion 7a (the receiving hole 7ba may be open over 360 degrees). The moving hood 7b has an operation portion 7bb formed with a female screw portion that is screwed into a male screw portion provided on the base rod 5, and the reel leg is placed on the reel leg placing portion 7a. By inserting the rear side into the receiving hole 7ca of the fixed hood 7c and rotating the operating portion 7bb, the reel leg is tightened and fixed between the receiving hole 7ba of the moving hood 7b and the receiving hole 7ca of the fixed hood 7c. be. Since the configuration of the reel seat, the moving mechanism of the moving hood, etc. are known, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The rear end side of the fixed hood 7c of the base rod 5 protrudes in the axial direction, and a lower plug (butt plug) 10 is attached to the outer periphery of the protruding portion 5a. As shown in FIG. 4, the lower plug 10 is formed in a cap shape, and an air hole 10b is formed in the rear end surface 10a. The inner surface of the peripheral wall 10c of the lower plug 10 is provided with a female screw portion 10d that is screwed into the male screw portion formed on the projecting portion 5a. The female screw portion 10d may be formed directly on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 10c, or may be formed on the inner surface of an annular body 10e that is press-fitted and fixed to the peripheral wall 10c as shown in FIG. In addition, a plurality of ring-shaped unevennesses 10f are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 10c (a press-fitting structure is formed) so that the opening end of the cover member 30, which will be described later, can be easily press-fitted and fixed. That is, the lower plug 10 has the function of closing the opening at the rear end of the base rod 5 and closing the opening at the rear end of the cover member 30 .

The inner surface of the lower plug 10 may have a press-fit structure instead of a screw-fit structure, and the outer surface of the lower plug 10 may have a screw-fit structure instead of a press-fit structure.

A cap member 12 is detachably fixed to the rear end opening portion of the base rod 5 . This cap member 12 has a function of preventing the housed rod from falling when the lower plug 10 is removed from the base rod 5 and attached to the cover member 30 . The rear end surface of the cap member 12 is preferably formed with an air vent opening 12a.

To the base rod 5, a cover member 30 is detachably attached that functions as a protective cover in a conventional swing-out fishing rod (function to prevent projection of a plurality of rods housed in the base rod). It is The cover member 30 can be removed from the base rod 5 and attached to the rear end portion of the base rod 5 so as to function as a so-called grip that is gripped and held during actual fishing.

The configuration of the cover member 30 will be specifically described below.
The cover member 30 of the present embodiment is configured as a cylindrical body so as to cover the base rod 5 along the axial direction (so as to cover the base rod 5), and is shaped like a rod in the housed state. is configured to be The cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical body is not particularly limited, and may be polygonal, circular, elliptical, or the like. It is preferable to form the shape (circular in cross section). Also, the material is not particularly limited. For example, the same material as the base rod 5 and the plurality of rods 6a to 6N housed therein, various metals such as aluminum and SUS, resin, and fiber reinforcement. It may be made of resin or the like, and various surface treatments such as painting, physical vapor deposition, and chemical vapor deposition may be applied as necessary to improve the appearance. Alternatively, since it also functions as a grip, it may be covered with a flexible material such as EVA, cork, etc., to improve gripping and holding properties, like a normal grip.

Since the cylindrical cover member 30 is attached so as to cover the base rod 5 from the tip end side in the axial direction, when the cover member 30 is attached to the cover member 30 and the base rod 5, both of them are covered. A fixing structure is provided for fixing the The cover member 30 of this embodiment is configured to be able to cover the reel seat 7 provided on the base rod 5 up to a position where it is exposed. It is configured to be fixed by frictional force with the rod 5.

Specifically, ring-shaped unevennesses 5A and 5B are formed on the outer surface of the moving hood 7b and on the outer surface of a ring member attached to the front side of the operating portion 7bb of the moving hood (or an O-ring or the like). ), and the inner surface of the opening of the cover member 30 and the inner surface of the tip side can be press-fitted and fixed at that portion. Therefore, when the cover member 30 is attached and fixed to the base rod 5, the reel leg mounting portion 7a of the reel seat 7 is exposed.

The fixing structure, fixing position, and fixing method of the cover member 30 and the base rod 5 are not particularly limited. Is possible.

An upper plug 40 is detachably provided at the tip of the cover member 30 of the present embodiment. The upper plug 40 can be press-fitted into the tip opening of the cover member 30. In this embodiment, as clearly shown in FIG. By screwing this portion into a female screw member 32 fixed to the tip of the cover member 30, the cover member 30 is detachably fixed. Further, the main body 41 of the upper plug 40 is formed with an opening engaging portion 41b so that it can be set by being engaged with a ring-shaped holding member 70 (see FIG. 8) which will be described later. The opening engaging portion 41b may be of any structure as long as it allows the holding member 70 to be inserted therethrough, and as shown in FIG. is.

Note that the upper plug 40 may have a structure in which it is press-fitted into the inner surface of the opening at the tip of the cover member 30 and fixed. Also, the cover member 30 may have a structure that only prevents the plurality of rods from protruding without providing the upper plug 40 . In such a configuration, one of the cover members 30 may be provided with an opening engaging portion.

The above-described cover member 30 has a predetermined length L1 in the axial direction, and as shown in FIGS. configure the grip. That is, in the conventional swing-out type fishing rod, the portion to be gripped and held is the region of the base rod 5 having a length L, but by attaching the cover member 30 to the rear end of the base rod 5, , the fishing rod during actual fishing can be extended by the length L1 of the cover member 30 (the operating method will be described later).

As described above, the fishing rod of this embodiment is configured to be attachable to a reel, and each rod is provided with fishing line guides 8, 8a to 8N through which the fishing line unwound from the reel is inserted. In this case, it is preferable that the cover member 30 to be attached is constructed so as not to interfere with the attached fishing line guide. For example, in the case of a double-bearing type reel, the height of the fishing line guide to be mounted does not have to be so high. It is possible to avoid it. Alternatively, such interference can be prevented by increasing the diameter of the cover member 30 to some extent.

However, when a spinning reel is attached, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the height of the fishing line guide (especially the fishing line guide 8 on the base end side) is increased, and the cover member 30 attached to the base rod 5 is increased. There is a possibility of interference between As described above, it is possible to prevent the interference by increasing the diameter of the cover member 30. However, by configuring the fishing line guide that causes the interference to be detachable from the rod, the cover member 30 can be removed. Eliminates the need to increase the diameter. For example, if the height of the fishing line guide 8 attached to the tip of the base rod 5 is high, as shown in FIG. , the leg portion 8A of the fishing line guide 8 is press-fitted into this portion to form a detachable structure. That is, in this embodiment, the fishing line guide 8 that interferes with the cover member 30 when the cover member 30 is attached to the base rod 5 (if there is another interfering fishing line guide, the fishing line guide also ) is detachably attached to the rod (original rod 5).

Such a detachable fishing line guide 8 is formed with a fishing line insertion hole 8B through which the fishing line is inserted and, in some cases, an opening 8C for weight reduction. (ie, the holding member 70 can hold the detachably attached fishing line guide 8).

As described above, the fishing rod of this embodiment can use both types of reels, a spinning reel and a dual-bearing reel. A set includes a high fishing line guide 8 and a low fishing line guide 18 for dual bearing reels (FIGS. 8 and 10). That is, in this embodiment, the detachably attached fishing line guides include a plurality of fishing line guides 8 and 18 that can be mounted at the same position on the rod and have different heights. , and dual-bearing reels can be used.
A plurality of detachable fishing line guides may be provided. Also, instead of detachably attaching the interfering fishing line guides to each rod, it is possible to adopt a bendable structure so that the cover member 30 and the fishing line guides do not interfere when stored. be. As a bendable structure, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, a structure in which the fishing line guide 8 is attached to the base rod 5 by a hinge or the like so as to be able to rise and fall, or a structure in which the fishing line guide 8 is elastically deformed. A configuration that allows the robot to rise and fall can be mentioned (in FIG. 11, the solid line indicates the upright state, and the one-dot chain line indicates the lying state). Also, when the height of the undulating fishing line guide 8 is high, as shown in FIG. A second guide hole 82 for a double-bearing reel having a diameter smaller than that of 81 may be arranged side by side.

The above-described fishing rod can be used in various forms according to the fishing method, etc. For example, in lure fishing using a bait reel, it is possible to hook a finger on the part where the reel is attached. It is preferable to provide a trigger such as In this embodiment, the trigger 50 is detachably fixed to the base rod 5 (although the directions of the fishing rod and fishing line guide shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are for spinning reels, , the trigger 50 is also shown for convenience).

The trigger 50 can be detachably arranged corresponding to the position where the reel seat 7 of the base rod 5 is provided. In addition, it is preferably attached to the portion of the fixed hood 7c so that a finger can be hooked thereon. In this embodiment, it is configured to be attachable to the protruding portion 5a provided at the rear end of the base rod 5, and as shown in FIG. It is configured to include a portion 52 .

With such a trigger 50, the lower plug 10 is removed from the base rod 5, the opening 51 is fitted to the projecting portion 5a, and the cover member 30 is attached to the projecting portion 5a in this state. It can be clamped and fixed between the rods 5 . With such a detachable structure, the position of the finger hook portion 52 of the trigger 50 can be shifted in the circumferential direction and fixed. It becomes possible to

Since the trigger 50 is provided with an opening 51 that fits into the projecting portion 5a of the base rod, this portion can be used as shown in FIG. It is possible to lock the ring-shaped holding member 70 and set it.

The holding member 70 is inserted through opening locking portions provided on the fishing rod used during actual fishing and its constituent elements (fishing line guide, trigger, top plug, other small items, etc.) to integrate them. It is a member that is used so that it can be easily carried without losing the fishing rod and components used during actual fishing. The holding member 70 is preferably formed of a ring-shaped member such as a carabiner-type hook, and by attaching it to the belt attachment portion of the trousers, the handling during transportation and use can be improved. In particular, in a mobile fishing rod set (rods with a closed length of about 30 cm or less), the overall length is shortened to improve handling.

In this embodiment, as a configuration of the fishing rod set, as shown in FIG. A guide 18 is held. Similar to the fishing line guide 8, the fishing line guide 18 has a fishing line insertion hole 18B through which the holding member 70 is inserted and a leg portion 18A that is press-fitted into the insertion opening 5e of the base rod 5. As shown in FIG. As for the trigger, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, a trigger 55 having a slightly curved finger hook 56 may be held.

Further, in this embodiment, the cover member 30 is attached to the rear end of the base rod 5 as shown in FIG. . As a result, the fishing tackle to be used together with the fishing rod can be compactly stored in the housing space S of the cover member 30, so that it is not necessary to store the fishing tackle individually in a storage body such as a storage case and carry it together with the fishing rod 1. Therefore, it is possible to effectively use the fishing rod 1 as a mobile rod that is not bulky and has excellent mobility and portability. If the space S inside the cover member 30 is effectively used in this way and the cover member 30 is used as a fishing gear storage case, not only the portability of the mobile rod but also the storage capacity can be increased, which is beneficial.

Moreover, the fishing rod 1 of this embodiment further has a housing 60 that is mounted in the housing space S of the cover member 30 and that receives and houses the fishing tackle. Such a container 60 is schematically illustrated in FIG. 3 by a dash-dotted line. In the present embodiment, the fishing tackle may be directly accommodated in the accommodation space S of the cover member 30, but if the fishing tackle is accommodated in the accommodation space S via such an accommodation body 60, the fishing tackle can be stored. It also becomes possible to stably hold and store without rattling. In this sense, the container 60 may be an elastically deformable flexible member (eg, materials such as EVA, rubber, etc.), a cushioning material such as foamed material (eg, polyurethane, etc.), or a hard member. (for example, materials such as metal, resin, wood, etc.) and soft members (for example, materials such as EVA, rubber, etc.) can be combined.

A specific example of such a container 60 is illustrated in FIGS. 12-14. A container 60A shown in (a) of FIG. 12 is a tubular body 60a integrally formed only by a flexible member, and is fitted into the cover member 30 with almost no gap. The cylindrical body 60a defines a housing space S1 for housing a fishing tackle, and has open front and rear ends 61 and 62 that can be used as inlets for the fishing tackle. A portion of the tubular body 60a on the rear end 62 side has a male screw portion 63 that can be screwed with the female screw portion 10d of the lower plug 10 attached to the rear end (proximal end) of the cover member 30. A joint portion 60b is formed. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12(b), the threaded portion may be formed by a threaded member 65 separate from the cylindrical body 60a and coupled to the cylindrical body 60a.

On the other hand, the container 60B shown in FIG. 13 has an upper member 66 which has a substantially semicircular cross section and is made of a hard material (for example, plastic), and a soft material which similarly has a substantially semicircular cross section. (for example, a material such as EVA, rubber, etc.), and is fitted into the cover member 30 with almost no gap. In this case, the upper member 66 has a dome shape with both axial ends (front end 66a and rear end 66b) closed, and is attached to the rear end (base end) of the cover member 30 at its rear end. A threaded portion 60b having a male threaded portion 63 that can be screwed with the female threaded portion 10d of the lower plug 10 is formed. On the other hand, the lower member 67 has a curved plate shape, and its both side edges 67a and 67b extending along its longitudinal axis are press-fitted into the edges of the lower opening 66c of the upper member 66. It is detachably attached to the upper member 66 by being put together, and in the attached state, cooperates with the upper member 66 to define an accommodation space S1 for accommodating the fishing tackle. Inside the housing space S1, there is an opening 69 formed at the front end of the lower member 67, by removing the lower member 67 from the upper member 66, or along the axial direction of the lower member 67. It is designed to be able to accommodate fishing gear through slits that do not. A plurality of lower members 67 having different heights H are prepared, and a member suitable for the size of the cover member 30 to which the container 60B is to be attached is selected. You may enable it to fit inside without gap. Also, the front end of the lower member 67 does not need to be the opening 69, and may be closed by a wall, for example.

It is preferable to receive the fishing tackle so as to suppress rattling of the fishing tackle in both the containers 60A and 60B. As a result, it is possible to avoid situations in which the fishing tackle rattles in the housings 60A and 60B, makes noise, and is damaged by colliding with each other or by colliding with the housing. In addition, since both the containing bodies 60A and 60B are detachable from the cover member 30, the fishing gear can be easily stored in the containing bodies 60A and 60B. Further, by fixing using the threaded portion 60b or the threaded member 65, the containing bodies 60A and 60B can be stably arranged inside the cover member 30, and the containing bodies 60A and 60B move and rattle within the cover member 30. can be prevented.

Further, a container 60C shown in FIG. 14 constitutes a balance weight. 60 C of accommodating bodies as such a rod balancer are comprised by the cylinder part 92 and the piston part 90 which can reciprocate along the axial direction (longitudinal direction) within the cylinder part 92 like illustration. The cylinder portion 92 is a cylindrical body 60a integrally formed of a material such as resin or metal, and is fitted into the cover member 30 with almost no gap. The rear end portion of the tubular body 60a has a male screw portion 63 that can be screwed with the female screw portion 10d of the lower plug 10 attached to the rear end (proximal end) of the cover member 30. 60b.

On the other hand, the piston portion 90 is formed of a material such as resin or metal, and has a shaft portion 90a extending along the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the container 60C and a flange shape formed at one end of the shaft portion 90a. an operating portion 90b positioned outside the cylinder portion 92; and an action portion formed in a flange shape at the other end of the shaft portion 90b and positioned inside the cylinder portion 92 to contact the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder portion 92. 90c. The acting portion 90c defines a substantially sealed accommodation space S1 in cooperation with the cylinder portion 92, and changes the volume of the accommodation space S1 by advancing and retreating within the cylinder portion 92 by an operation force input from the operation portion 90b. be able to.

The acting portion 90c may be press-fitted into the cylinder portion 92 in a sealed state and slide with respect to the cylinder portion 92, but in this embodiment, a male screw portion formed on the outer peripheral surface of the acting portion 90c 96 is screwed into a female screw portion 95 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder portion 92 over substantially the entire length of the cylinder portion 92 so that it can advance and retreat within the cylinder portion 92 . Also, in the accommodation space S1, an article that can be used as a balance weight, for example, a weight as a fishing tackle, or water or sand that may exist in a fishing spot can be accommodated.

The accommodation body 60C as such a balance weight (rod balancer) is used when the weight balance of the fishing rod 1 with the position of the hand holding the fishing rod 1 as the fulcrum is imbalanced. The weight balance of the fishing rod 1 can be brought close to a balanced state simply by mounting the container 60C inside the cover member 30 while adjusting the weight.

Further, the container as described above, particularly the flexible container 60A shown in FIG. By inserting it into the cover member 30 in the state shown in FIG. In this case, the container 60 (60A) exists between the inner surface of the cover member 30 and the rods 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e, . The threaded portion 60b or the threaded member 65 is threaded into the female threaded member 32 fixed to the tip of the cover member 30. good too.

By the way, in the containing body 60C as such a piston-cylinder type rod balancer, if the insertion and fitting of the piston portion 90 into the cylinder portion 92 is of a press-fitting type, the piston portion 90 may be pushed into the cylinder portion when the fishing rod 1 is swung. There is also the risk of movement with respect to 92. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, a cylindrical fixing member 120 made of an elastic material is press-fitted into the piston insertion opening of the cylinder portion 92. A gap between them may be filled to prevent relative movement of the piston portion 90 with respect to the cylinder portion 92 . In this case, the fixing member 120 has a notch 120a along its entire length on its side surface, and elastic expansion/contraction using this notch 120a (that is, the portions of the fixing member 120 on both sides of the notch 120a are mutually By widening/narrowing the notch portion 120a so as to approach/separate, the piston portion 90 can be easily attached to and detached from the shaft portion 90a and inserted into and removed from the cylinder portion 92. Due to the presence of the notch portion 120a, the piston portion 90 is detachably fixed to the shaft portion 90a. Further, in order to further facilitate insertion of the fixing member 120 into the cylinder portion 92, a portion 120b of the peripheral side surface of the fixing member 120 to be inserted into the cylinder portion 92 is formed as a tapered surface that tapers toward the tip. ing.

FIG. 16 shows a modification of such a fixing member. The fixing member according to this modification consists of a fixing stopper 100 (see FIGS. 16(a) and 16(b)) formed as an elastic tubular body and a crimping screw member 130 (see FIG. 16(c)). Configured. The fixing stopper 100 includes a threaded portion 100A having a tapered frustoconical outer shape and a male screw 110 formed on the outer peripheral surface, and a cylindrical cylinder fitting portion provided with an annular projection 102 on the outer surface. 100B. The projection 102 of the cylinder fitting portion 100B can be releasably engaged with an annular engagement groove 92a formed on the inner surface of the cylinder portion 92 (see FIGS. 16(b) and 16(c)). By engaging the projection 102 with the engaging groove 92a, the fixing stopper 100 is fixed to the cylinder portion 92 so as not to move in the axial direction.

In addition, the fixing stopper 100 has an inner hole 104 into which the shaft portion 90a of the piston portion 90 can be inserted. It penetrates through the stopper 100 for use. In addition, the fixing stopper 100 has a notch 106 on its side along its entire length, and elastic expansion and contraction using this notch 106 (that is, the parts of the fixing stopper 100 on both sides of the notch 106 are mutually By widening/narrowing the notch portion 106 so as to approach/separate, the attachment/detachment of the piston portion 90 with respect to the shaft portion 90a and the insertion/removal of the cylinder portion 92 via the crimping screw member 130 are facilitated. Due to the presence of 106, it is detachably fixed to the shaft portion 90a of the piston portion 90. As shown in FIG.

The crimping screw member 130 has a female thread on its inner peripheral surface that can be screwed with the male thread 110 of the threaded portion 100A of the fixing stopper 100. is elastically contracted to press the threaded portion 100A against the outer circumference of the shaft portion 90a of the piston portion 90, thereby fixing the shaft portion 90a of the piston portion 90 to the fixing stopper 100. That is, the piston portion 90 is prevented from moving relative to the cylinder portion 92 by the fixing member composed of the fixing stopper 100 and the crimping screw member 130 .
Since the fixing stopper 100 is an elastic member, when the piston portion 90 is pulled out from the cylinder portion 92, the projection 102 is elastically deformed by being pressed by the acting portion 90c of the piston portion 90. The engagement groove 92a is disengaged from the engagement groove 92a. In order to facilitate and ensure this disengagement, an annular recess 90d is formed in the piston portion 90 near the action portion 90c as indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 16(c). may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 90a so that when the piston portion 90 is pulled out from the cylinder portion 92, the cylinder fitting portion 100B is dropped into the recessed portion 90d. As a result, the projection 102 can be easily disengaged from the engagement groove 92a, and the fixing stopper 100 can be reliably removed from the cylinder portion 92. As shown in FIG.

FIG. 17 shows another example of a container as a rod balancer. A containing body 60D according to this example constitutes a balance weight in the same manner as the containing body 60C shown in FIG. 14, but has a different form. That is, the containing body 60D has a plurality of balancers 140A, 140B, 140c, . have a part. Specifically, the first balancer 140A, which constitutes the head of the connection group, has a small-diameter male screw connection portion 140Aa only at one end thereof, and two balancers that can be sequentially connected to the first balancer 140A. The second balancer 140B, the third balancer 140C, ... have large-diameter female screw connection portions 140Ba, 140Ca, ... at one end thereof, and small-diameter male screw connection at the other end thereof. It has parts 140Bb, 140Cb, . Each of the balancers 140A, 140B, 140c, . (For example, a weight as a fishing tackle, or water, sand, etc. that may exist in a fishing spot) is defined inside. In other words, the container 60D can adjust its own weight as a balance weight depending on the number of balancers connected and/or the weight of the object housed in the housing space S2 of each balancer.

The housing space S2 of each balancer 140A, 140B, 140c, . Also, the plurality of connected balancers are connected and fixed to the cover member 30 via the connecting member 145 as one connecting body. Here, the connecting member 145 has, at one end, a large-diameter female screw connection portion 145a that can be screwed with the small-diameter male screw connection portions 140Bb, 140Cb, . The other end has a small-diameter male screw connecting portion 145b having a male screw portion 63 on the outer peripheral surface that can be screwed with the female screw portion 10d of the lower plug 10 attached to the rear end (proximal end) of the cover member 30. .

When the weight balance of the fishing rod 1 with the position of the hand holding the fishing rod 1 as the fulcrum is imbalanced, the container 60D as such a balance weight (rod balancer) also has a number of connected balancers and/or The weight balance of the fishing rod 1 can be brought close to a balanced state simply by mounting the containing body 60D inside the cover member 30 while adjusting the weight of the object to be contained in the containing space S2. In this example, the balancers are connected by screwing, but the balancers may be connected in series by press-fitting instead of screwing.

FIG. 18 shows still another example of a container as a rod balancer. The storage body 60E according to this example has a storage space S3 inside which can store an article that can be used as a balance weight (for example, a weight as a fishing tackle, or water or sand that may exist in a fishing spot). and a resilient crimping body 160 that is crimp-fitted into the cover member 30 while retaining the resilient housing 170 inside.

The elastic storage body 170 is made of resin such as PP, PE, silicone, or the like. A housing space S3 for the body 170 is sealed by a plug body 165 that is detachable from the elastic housing body 170. As shown in FIG.

Further, the crimping body 160 is formed by folding back (bending) an arc-shaped elastic plate 160A toward the center of curvature of the arc, for example. It is endowed with an expansion habit (elastically biased to expand). In addition, the elastic plate 160A is formed with an accommodating portion 160b for accommodating and holding the elastic accommodating body 170 on the side of the folded portion 160d. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18(b), the crimping body 160 closes the accommodation portion 160b when the both ends 160a, 160a are gripped as operation knobs and an operation force F is applied radially inward. The diameter is reduced in the direction (see the arrow in the figure).

Therefore, in the state in which the crimping body 160 is expanded (the state on the left side of FIG. 18(b)), the elastic storage body 170 storing an article that can be used as a balance weight is stored in the storage portion 160b, and then, When both ends 160a, 160a are pinched and an operation force F is applied radially inward to reduce the diameter of the crimping body 160, the elastic housing body 170 is sandwiched by the elastic plates 160A and held in the housing portion 160b. . Therefore, in this state, after inserting the accommodation body 60E composed of the compression body 160 and the elastic accommodation body 170 into the accommodation space S of the cover member 30, the operating force F applied to both ends 160a of the compression body 160 18A, the crimping member 160 expands radially outward due to the elastic expansion restoring force of the end portions 160a, 160a, and adheres to the inner peripheral surface of the cover member 30. The container 60</b>E is mounted in the cover member 30 in a fixed state by elastic crimping.

In order to prevent the elastic housing member 170 from moving toward the end portions 160a and 160a of the crimping body 160 and coming out of the housing portion 160b in this mounting state of the housing body 60E, the end portions 160a and 160a of the crimping body 160 are A recessed bent portion 160c that engages with the wall surface of the elastic housing body 170 in the housing portion 160b is formed in the portion of the elastic plate 160A between the housing portion 160b and the housing portion 160b.
The accommodation body 60E as such a balance weight (rod balancer) is also used when the weight balance of the fishing rod 1 with the position of the hand holding the fishing rod 1 as the fulcrum is imbalanced. The weight balance of the fishing rod 1 can be brought close to a balanced state simply by mounting the container 60F inside the cover member 30 while adjusting the weight.

FIG. 19 shows another housing shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, which is mounted in the housing space S of the cover member 30 and stably holds and houses the fishing gear without rattling. An example is shown. The container 60F shown in FIG. 19(a) is composed of a pair of elastically deformable elastic holding bodies 170A and 170B, which are columnar bodies with a semicircular cross section that can be separated left and right. The cover member 30 is elastically fitted into the cover member 30 with almost no gap in a state in which the fishing tackle is sandwiched and fixed. Materials for forming the elastic retainers 170A and 170B include flexible members (e.g. materials such as EVA and rubber), cushioning materials such as foam materials (e.g. materials such as polyurethane), or hard materials. A combination of a member (eg, metal, resin, wood, etc.) and a soft member (eg, EVA, rubber, etc.) can be used.

A container 60G shown in FIG. 19(b) is composed of an elastically deformable elastic holding body 172 which is a columnar body with a circular cross section, and a cut groove 172a is formed so as to penetrate the entire length of the elastic holding body 172 . Therefore, after the fishing tackle is embedded and inserted into the elastic holder 172 from the side end face by expanding the cut groove 172a, the fishing tackle can be inserted into the elastic holder 172 by releasing the force for expanding the cut groove 172a. In this state, if the elastic holder 172 is elastically fitted into the cover member 30 with almost no gap as shown in FIG. can be accommodated inside.

A container 60H shown in (c) of FIG. 19 is a modification of the container 60G shown in (b) of FIG. It is composed of a wave-shaped cushion body 176 made of a more flexible flexible member integrally provided inside, and a cut groove 177 is formed so as to run through the entire length thereof. Therefore, after the fishing tackle is embedded and inserted into the housing body 60H from the side end face by expanding the cut groove 177, the fishing tackle can be accommodated and held in the housing body 60H by releasing the force to spread the cut groove 177. In this state, if the containing body 60H is elastically fitted into the cover member 30 with almost no gap, the fishing tackle can be contained in the cover member 30 together with the containing body 60H.

Here, a female screw portion 174a is formed on the inner peripheral surface of one end of the outer elastic frame 174, and the female screw portion 174a is connected to one end of the threaded member 65 similar to the case of FIG. 12(b). The male screw portion 64 on the side can be screwed. Further, the threaded member 65 has the male threaded portion 63 that can be screwed with the female threaded portion 10d of the lower plug 10 attached to the rear end (proximal end) of the cover member 30, as described above.

A container 60H' shown in (d) of FIG. 19 is a modification of the container 60H shown in (c) of FIG. . Therefore, according to this configuration, two or more containers 60H' can be connected to each other via the joint member 190 as shown in the drawing. That is, the male threaded portion 190a on one end side of the joint member 190 is screwed into the female threaded portion 174a of the outer elastic frame 174 of one container 60H', and the male threaded portion 190a on the other end side of the joint member 190 is screwed. The containers 60H' can be connected to each other by screwing them into the female screw portion 174a of the outer elastic frame 174 of the other container 60H'.

Next, a usage example of the above-described fishing rod 1 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), in the unused state, the cover member 30 is attached to the base rod 5 (covers the outer peripheral surface of the base rod except for the reel seat area). The closing length of the fishing rod is the axial length L1 of the cover member 30 plus the length up to the exposed reel seat 7 (the length including the lower plug 10). Further, in this unused state, by inserting a flexible container 60A as shown in FIG.

In the present embodiment, since the reel seat 7 is exposed, it is possible to transport the fishing rod with the reel mounted in the stored state. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the upper plug 40 is locked to the holding member 70, and the fishing line guide 8 and the trigger 50 are also locked to the holding member 70. Transportability and handleability are improved, and loss of constituent members necessary for a fishing rod is prevented.

When using the fishing rod, the cover member 30 is removed from the base rod 5 and attached to the base end of the base rod 5 as it is (see FIGS. 2 and 3). In this embodiment, since the tip of the cover member 30 is attached to the base end of the base rod 5, the upper plug 40 is removed and the tip of the cover member 30 is opened. Also, the lower plug 10 attached to the base rod 5 is removed from the rear end of the base rod 5. - 特許庁Even if the lower plug 10 is removed, since the cap member 12 is attached to the rear end of the base rod, the stored rod will not fall off during the mounting work of the cover member.

The cover member 30 removed from the base rod 5 and the upper plug 40 is formed with the female screw member 32 screwed with the upper plug 40 as described above. It is designed to be screwed into the male screw portion formed on the protruding portion 5a of the base rod as it is. By connecting both, a grip having a length L1 is formed by the cover member 30 on the rear end side of the base rod 5 (see FIGS. 2 and 3). A fishing line guide 8 (for a spinning reel) or a fishing line guide 18 (for a dual-bearing reel; see FIG. 8) is fixed to the tip of the base rod 5. A trigger 50 or a trigger 55 is fixed between the cover member 30 and the lower plug 10 removed from the base rod 5 is press-fitted and fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the rear end opening of the cover member 30 (lower The rear end opening of the cover member is press-fitted into the ring-shaped unevenness 10f of the plug 10, and the edge of the opening abuts against the stepped portion 10f' and is fixed). Also, in this state of use, a fishing tackle or a balance weight can be accommodated in the accommodation space S of the cover member 30 directly or through the accommodation body 60 (60A, 60B, 60C).

Since the cover member 30 is attached to the rear end of the base rod 5 and functions as a grip, unlike a conventional protective cover, it will not be lost during actual fishing. In addition, by attaching it to the base rod 5 as a grip, the length of the base rod 5 is lengthened, and as a swing-out type fishing rod, although the closing dimension is short and compact, the base rod can be used in actual use. becomes longer to improve operability. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the storage state is compact, so that it is not bulky and can be easily carried.

2 and 3 to be stored as shown in FIG. is removed, each rod is housed in the base rod 5, and the cover member 30 is attached from the axial direction. At this time, even if the lower plug 10 is fixed to the rear end of the base rod 5 and the cover member 30 is attached, the rear end surface of the cap member 12 does not have the air vent opening 12a as described above. In addition, air holes 10b are also formed in the lower plug 10, so that the air is released when the cover member 30 is inserted, and the attachment operation can be easily performed. Since the fishing line guide 8 is also removed from the base rod 5 (in the example of FIG. 11, the fishing line guide 8 is laid down), the fishing line guide 8 and the cover member 30 do not interfere with each other.

The length relationship between the cover member 30 and the base rod 5 can be changed as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the dimension L1 of the cover member 30 may be lengthened to lengthen the hollow portion between it and the tip of the base rod 5 . In this case, it is preferable to attach a flexible member (not shown) to the inside of the cover member 30 so that the housed rods do not protrude from the tip of the base rod 5 . Alternatively, a partition structure may be provided inside the cover member 30 so that various small items (devices, etc.) can be accommodated. Regarding the axial dimension L1 of the cover member 30, by making the axial dimension L of the base rod 5 or more (L1>L), the grip length can be sufficiently secured while shortening the base rod 5. It is possible to improve compactness and fishing operability.

9 and 10 are diagrams showing a second embodiment of a fishing rod according to the present invention, where FIG. 9(a) is a partial cross-sectional view showing a plurality of rods stored, and FIG. FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the state, and FIG. 10 is a view showing the grip portion of the fishing rod shown in FIG. 9 in use, FIG. 10(a) being a partial cross-sectional view, and FIG. 10(b) being a perspective view.

In the above-described first embodiment, the cover member 30 is configured to expose the reel seat 7, but in the present embodiment, the cover member 30 covers the base end of the base rod 5 while covering the base rod 5. It is designed to be fixed at the part. Specifically, a ring-shaped unevenness 5C is formed on the outer surface of the fixed hood 7c so that the inner surface of the opening of the cover member 30 can be press-fitted and fixed at that portion. Therefore, when the cover member 30 is attached and fixed to the base rod 5, the reel seat 7 is covered without being exposed.

With such a configuration, the final size can be further shortened, and the handleability and transportability can be improved. The fishing rod of this embodiment is assumed to be equipped with a dual-bearing reel, and the base rod 5 is equipped with a low-height fishing line guide 18 and a large trigger 55. . The insert 60 is also inserted into the cover member 30 in the same manner as in the first embodiment described above.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made, for example, as follows.
In the above-described embodiment, the fishing rod to which the reel is attached was exemplified, but it is possible to configure the fishing rod as a normal swing-out type fishing rod that does not have a reel seat and a fishing line guide. Alternatively, the fishing rod may be configured as a fishing rod dedicated to a spinning reel or a fishing rod dedicated to a dual-bearing reel.

The cover member 30 has a structure in which the front end portion thereof is fixed to the base end portion of the base rod 5 , but a structure in which the rear end portion of the cover member is fixed to the base end portion of the base rod 5 may be employed.
The length of the cover member 30 can be changed as appropriate. For example, by making it substantially the same length as the base rod 5 and covering the entire length, the fishing rod can be made compact (mobile). ), and can be lengthened at the time of use, improving handling.

The method of fixing the cover member 30 to the base rod 5 can be appropriately modified, such as a press-fit structure, a screw-engagement structure, a structure using a clamp, etc., and the fixing position can also be appropriately modified. .
As for the shape of the cover member 30, if it prevents the rod housed in the base rod 5 from popping out and functions as a grip for the base rod, the shape, length, etc., can be appropriately modified.
