Patent number: 9832982Abstract: A movable hood for a reel seat has a hood portion and a nut portion. A body of a reel seat passes through the hood portion. The hood portion is movable in a longitudinal direction of the body. The nut portion is connected to the hood portion to rotate around the body and is threadedly coupled to an outer peripheral surface of the body at an inner peripheral surface. The hood portion has a base end facing the nut portion and a leading end located opposite the base end. When viewing the hood portion from side, a length of an upper side of the hood portion from the base end to the leading end is longer than a length of a lower side of the hood portion from the base end to the leading end, and an upper contour of the hood portion has an upward convex curve line.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: FUJI KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventor: Kazuhito Omura

Patent number: 9832981Abstract: A movable hood for a reel seat has a hood portion, through which a body of a reel seat passes, and a nut portion, which is connected to the hood portion to rotate around the body and is threadedly coupled to an outer peripheral surface of the body at an inner peripheral surface. The hood portion has a pair of first guide projections and a second guide projection which are fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the body. The first guide projections project from an inner peripheral surface of the hood portion above a central axis of the hood portion, and the second guide projection projects from the inner peripheral surface of the hood portion at a lower end of the hood portion. A radial thickness in a cross section of the hood portion gradually decreases from the first guide projections toward the second guide projection.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: FUJI KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventor: Kazuhito Omura

Patent number: 9510574Abstract: A fishing line guide includes a pair of lateral support legs and one rear support leg which extend from a guide ring. When viewing the fishing line guide from front, an outer contour of the lateral support legs is inclined from an attachment foot thereof at an angle of 45 degrees or more with respect to a horizontal line passing the attachment foot. An outer contour of the guide ring has a curve line, which has a center located outside the outer contour of the guide ring, from a position located at 45 degrees below the center of the guide ring. An upper contour of the lateral support legs joins to the outer contour of the guide ring above the center of the guide ring. A lower contour of the lateral support legs joins to the outer contour of the guide ring below the center of the guide ring.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: FUJI KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventor: Kazuhito Omura

Patent number: 8850740Abstract: A fishing rod has a rod blank, and a line guide group attached to the rod blank for guiding a fishing line delivered from a reel to a top guide. The, line guide group is classified into a choke guide group configured with three choke guides and a tip guide group configured with a plurality of tip guides having a decreased height and diameter than the choke guides. Heights and diameters of the choke guides are set to draw one virtual cone shape in which the diameters are made to be circumferences. The heights and diameters of the tip guides are set to be all the same. Since the line is converged rapidly and smoothly, the tip guide group can have a combination of light guides having small diameter, thereby the entire weight can be saved greatly, and original ability of a rod can be brought out.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2012Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Fuji Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kazuhito Omura
