Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は釣り竿、特に磯場での大物釣りやカジキ等を対象とするトローリング、又はマグロ類を対象とするジギングに使用して有用な釣り竿に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、大物釣り用の釣り竿に於いて、竿尻の部分にゴム等の弾性材料からなるエンドキャップを装着した構成のものが提案されている。竿尻に弾力性のあるエンドキャップを装着しておけば、竿尻を衝撃から保護でき破損を防止でき、また竿尻を釣り人の腹部に押し当てて大物とファイトする時には、竿尻と腹部との間でクッションとして機能し、腹部への負荷ひいては痛みを軽減することができる。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、エンドキャップを構成している弾性材料から得られるクッション性だけでは自ずと限界があり、特に大物とのファイト時における、釣り人腹部への負荷ひいては痛みの軽減効果は未だ不十分であり、より一層の改善が望まれていた。
【０００４】
また、カジキ等の大物を対象とするトローリング用の釣り竿として、竿尻に竿の回転防止用のギンバルを備えた構成のものが提案されているが、このギンバルもまた大物とのファイト時には釣り人の腹部に押し当てられるので、腹部への負荷ひいては痛みを軽減できる構成のものが望まれていた。
本発明は、大物とのファイト時における釣り人腹部への負荷ひいては痛みを大幅に軽減できる釣り竿を提供することを目的としてなされたものである。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、竿尻部にエンドキャップが付勢部材に抗し釣り人腹部への負荷を軽減できる方向に移動可能に備えられていることを特徴とする釣り竿に係る。
【０００６】
さらに本発明は、竿尻部にギンバルが付勢部材に抗し釣り人腹部への負荷を軽減できる方向に移動可能に備えられていることを特徴とする釣り竿に係る。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の一実施形態を添付図面に基づき説明する。図１は本発明の第１発明の一実施形態を示し、釣り竿の竿尻部１にエンドキャップ２が備えられている。エンドキャップ２は有底筒型で筒状部２ａに於いて竿尻部１上に嵌装され、この嵌装状態に於いて、竿尻部１上を図１に実線で示す浅い嵌合位置から同仮想線で示す深い嵌合位置迄の間を軸方向に移動できる構成になっている。竿尻部１は後端部に外向き突出の外鍔部３を備え、該外鍔部３は筒状部２ａの内周面にほぼ摺接している。一方筒状部２ａは前端部に内向き突出の内鍔部４を備え、該内鍔部４は竿尻部１の外周面にほぼ摺接している。図１に実線で示す浅い嵌合位置においては内鍔部４が外鍔部３に係止し、この係止により、エンドキャップ２は後方へ抜け止めされている。エンドキャップ２は浅い嵌合位置から前方へ摺動移動することができ、この前方への摺動移動は、エンドキャップ２の底面２ｂが竿尻部１の後端面１ａに当止する深い嵌合位置まで継続できる。
【０００８】
エンドキャップ２を浅い嵌合位置に拘束するために、竿尻部１内に付勢部材例えばコイルばね５が収納設置されている。コイルばね５はバネが働いた状態で、一端側が竿尻部１内に設置のバネ受け板６に、また他端側がエンドキャップ２の底面２ｂに当接し、エンドキャップ２を外方へ押圧している。この押圧でエンドキャップ２の内鍔部４は竿尻部１の外鍔部３にしっかりと係止し、エンドキャップ２は通常時は浅い嵌合位置を安定確実に保持する。エンドキャップ２は図１に示す状態からコイルばね５に抗し前方へ摺動移動することができ、この移動の間、高度のクッション性を発揮できる。
【０００９】
而して、竿尻を釣り人の腹部に押し当てた状態で大物とファイとするときは、竿尻と腹部との間でエンドキャップ２が高度のクッション性を発揮し、腹部への負荷ひいては痛みを大幅に軽減することができる。
【００１０】
ファイトを終えると、エンドキャップ２はコイルばね５の働きで、図１に実線で示す浅い嵌合位置に自動的に復元し、次のファイトに備える。
【００１１】
第１発明に於いて、付勢部材としては、図示のコイルばね５、その他板バネ等の公知の各種のバネ材を単独又は併用して適用できる。また棒状であって保有弾性に抗し軸方向に圧縮変形可能なゴム等の弾性部材を使用することも可能である。
【００１２】
エンドキャップ２に付与されるクッション性は、コイルばね５等の付勢部材の付勢力の強さとエンドキャップ２の摺動移動距離を適宜選択することにより、最適のものとなしえる。
【００１３】
エンドキャップ２の材質は、ゴム,プラスチック,金属等、特に制限は無いが、ゴム等の弾性材料が釣り人の腹部へあたりが柔らかくなり適当である。
【００１４】
図２は本発明の第２発明の一実施形態を示し、エンドキャップ２に変えてギンバル７が竿尻部１に対し回り止め状態に備えられている以外は、第１発明と実質的に異なるところがない。ギンバル７は金属製であり、腹当て等に備えられている係合突部に係合する凹溝８が形成されている。竿尻部１に対するギンバル７の回り止め手段は、図では省略されているが、例えばギンバル７の筒状部７ａと竿尻部１とを角形のはめ合いにするなどの公知の各種の回り止め手段を適用できる。
【００１５】
第２発明においても、ギンバル７が竿尻部１と腹部との間で高度のクッション性を発揮し、大物とのファイト時における腹部への負荷ひいては痛みを大幅に軽減できる。
【００１６】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、上記構成により、大物とのファイト時における釣り人の腹部への負荷ひいては痛みを大幅に軽減できる釣り竿を提供することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fishing rod, particularly a fishing rod useful for trolling targeting large fish and marlin in a fishing field, or jigging targeting tuna.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a fishing rod for large fishing has been proposed in which an end cap made of an elastic material such as rubber is attached to the butt portion. If you put a flexible end cap on the buttock, you can protect the buttock from impact and prevent damage, and when you press the buttock against the angler's abdomen and fight against a big shot, It functions as a cushion between and the load on the abdomen, and thus pain can be reduced.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the cushioning obtained from the elastic material that constitutes the end cap has its own limits, especially when fighting with a big man, the load on the angler's abdomen and the pain reduction effect is still insufficient. Further improvements were desired.
[0004]
In addition, as a fishing rod for trolling such as swordfish, a configuration with a gimbal for preventing the rotation of the heel on the butt is proposed, but this gimbal is also a fisherman when fighting with a big game Therefore, it is desired to have a structure that can reduce the load on the abdomen and, in turn, the pain.
The present invention has been made for the purpose of providing a fishing rod that can greatly reduce the load on the abdomen of the angler and, in turn, the pain when fighting with a big game.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to a fishing rod characterized in that an end cap is provided at a heel portion so as to be movable in a direction that can resist a biasing member and reduce a load on an angler's abdomen.
[0006]
Furthermore, the present invention relates to a fishing rod characterized in that a gimbal is provided at the heel portion so as to be movable in a direction that can resist the biasing member and reduce the load on the angler's abdomen.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the first invention of the present invention, in which an end cap 2 is provided on a rod butt portion 1 of a fishing rod. The end cap 2 has a bottomed cylindrical shape and is fitted onto the buttock 1 in the tubular portion 2a. In this fitted state, the shallow fitting position indicated by a solid line on the buttock 1 is shown in FIG. To a deep fitting position indicated by the phantom line. The buttock part 1 is provided with an outwardly projecting outer collar part 3 at the rear end part, and the outer collar part 3 is substantially in sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical part 2a. On the other hand, the cylindrical portion 2a is provided with an inner flange portion 4 projecting inwardly at the front end portion, and the inner flange portion 4 is substantially in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the collar butt portion 1. In the shallow fitting position shown by a solid line in FIG. 1, the inner flange portion 4 is locked to the outer flange portion 3, and the end cap 2 is prevented from coming back backward by this locking. The end cap 2 can slide forward from a shallow fitting position, and this forward sliding movement is a deep fitting in which the bottom surface 2b of the end cap 2 comes into contact with the rear end surface 1a of the buttock 1. Can continue to position.
[0008]
In order to constrain the end cap 2 to a shallow fitting position, an urging member such as a coil spring 5 is housed and installed in the buttock 1. The coil spring 5 is in a state in which the spring is working, one end is in contact with the spring receiving plate 6 installed in the buttock 1 and the other end is in contact with the bottom surface 2b of the end cap 2 to press the end cap 2 outward. ing. By this pressing, the inner collar portion 4 of the end cap 2 is firmly locked to the outer collar portion 3 of the butt end portion 1, and the end cap 2 stably holds the shallow fitting position normally. The end cap 2 can slide forward against the coil spring 5 from the state shown in FIG. 1, and can exhibit a high degree of cushioning during this movement.
[0009]
Thus, when the big butt is pressed against the angler's abdomen, the end cap 2 exhibits a high degree of cushioning between the buttock and the abdomen, and the load on the abdomen Pain can be greatly reduced.
[0010]
When the fight is finished, the end cap 2 is automatically restored to the shallow fitting position shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 by the action of the coil spring 5 to prepare for the next fight.
[0011]
In the first invention, as the urging member, various known spring materials such as the illustrated coil spring 5 and other leaf springs can be used alone or in combination. It is also possible to use an elastic member such as a rubber that is rod-shaped and can compress and deform in the axial direction against the retained elasticity.
[0012]
The cushioning property imparted to the end cap 2 can be optimized by appropriately selecting the strength of the urging force of the urging member such as the coil spring 5 and the sliding movement distance of the end cap 2.
[0013]
The material of the end cap 2 is not particularly limited, such as rubber, plastic, metal, etc., but an elastic material such as rubber is suitable because it softens the abdomen of the angler.
[0014]
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the second invention of the present invention, which is substantially different from the first invention except that the end cap 2 is replaced with a gimbal 7 which is provided in a non-rotating state with respect to the buttocks 1. There is no place. The gimbal 7 is made of metal, and is formed with a concave groove 8 that engages with an engaging protrusion provided in a belly pad or the like. The means for preventing the rotation of the gimbal 7 with respect to the buttocks 1 is omitted in the figure. For example, various known anti-rotations such as fitting the cylindrical portion 7a of the gimbal 7 and the buttocks 1 with a square shape. Means can be applied.
[0015]
Also in the second invention, the gimbal 7 exhibits a high degree of cushioning between the buttock part 1 and the abdomen, and can greatly reduce the load on the abdomen and the pain when fighting with a big game.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the above configuration can provide a fishing rod that can greatly reduce the load on the abdomen of the angler and the pain during a fight with a big game.
