  • Patent number: 6871441
    Abstract: In an apparatus for mounting a reel on a fishing rod, a moving hood and a nut member respectively have contact surfaces which are brought into contact with each other. The outer sites in the diametrical direction of the respective contact surfaces are formed as pressure contact surfaces which are forced to contact each other when a fishing-reel fitting leg portion is clamped between a first and a second retaining portion by the clamping and pivotal operation of the nut member with respect to a seat body. The inner sites in the diametrical direction of the respective contact surfaces are formed into a click mechanism for producing a click sound with an elastic body and an engaging portion with which the elastic body detachably engages therewith during the rotation of the nut member.

  • Patent number: 6766975
    Abstract: An outer-side holding member (5) of a braking device (A) is fitted to the inner side of a large-diameter recessed portion (2g) in a rear portion of the inner side of a fishing-line winding barrel portion (2h) of a spool (2) in such a manner as to be prevented from rotating, and is prevented from coming off. An adjusting member 8 is provided at a distal end portion of the spool shaft for adjusting braking force of the braking device by relatively displacing an outer-side holding member (5) and the inner-side holding member (7) of the braking device in an axial direction.

  • Patent number: 6709347
    Abstract: A sporting rod member which is strong against flexure, which is improved in tough and balance when it is flexed, and which can be made finer in thickness and lighter in weight. The sporting rod member uses a solid rod (8). The solid rod (8) is made up of a solid-state core member (10) and an outer layer (12) formed of fiber reinforced resin and disposed on the outside of the core member (10). In the solid rod (8), most of reinforcing fibers that are used in at least one of the solid-state core member and outer layer and that extend substantially in the axial direction thereof have a longitudinal elastic modulus of 40 ton/mm2 or higher.
