DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing line auxiliary fitting for a fishing rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in throwing fishing performed from a rock or a quay, fishing lines wound on a reel are stretched in a straight line against a rotation resistance of the reel in order to throw a fishing line at a distant point on the water surface. In order to extend the fishing rod, the elastic force due to the bending of the fishing rod and the centrifugal force generated at the tip of the fishing rod due to the swinging of the fishing rod were timely converted into the inertia force of the weight attached to the vicinity of the tip of the fishing line and then injected.

[0003]

For this purpose, it is necessary to have an arm strength for swinging the fishing rod vigorously and a motor nerve for releasing the fishing line fixed between the finger and the fishing rod in advance at the hand of the fishing rod at a good timing. Advanced experience and skills were required. Particularly, in the case of beginners and women, it is difficult to release a fishing line in a timely manner, since only the one who swings the fishing rod vigorously loses interest.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a casting assisting mechanism which enables even beginners and women to easily and easily throw fishing at a distant target location with good timing.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a casting auxiliary mechanism comprising: a hook for temporarily restraining free movement of a fishing line on a fishing rod; and an urging means for applying a fishing line restraining force to the hook. And a lever for releasing the fishing line restraining force applied to the hook.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a casting auxiliary mechanism provided to a fishing rod, a hook for temporarily restraining free movement of a fishing line on a fishing rod, an urging means for applying a fishing line restraining force to the hook, and a fishing rod. It is characterized by having a means for detecting the acceleration and a connecting member for automatically releasing the fishing line restraining force when the acceleration given to the fishing rod becomes a certain value or more.

[0007]

[Function] If the casting auxiliary mechanism having the above configuration is installed on a fishing rod, and casting is performed at the time of throwing fishing,
Since there is no need to pay attention to releasing the fishing line in a timely manner, it is possible to concentrate only on swinging the fishing rod vigorously well, even for beginners and women, it is possible to easily throw a fishing rod in a distant target place, You can enjoy throw fishing easily.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A specific embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a configuration of a casting auxiliary mechanism according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the same. FIG. 3 is a side view showing the structure of the casting auxiliary mechanism according to one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a fishing rod 1 is provided with a reel 2 on which a normal fishing line 4 is wound around a hand portion, and a guide ring 3 for guiding the fishing line on the reel. A casting assist mechanism 5 is provided between the reel and the guide ring. This casting assist mechanism includes a hook 5a, a spring 5b, a release lever 5c, a fulcrum 5d, and a base bracket 5e.
The main parts are configured.

The hook 5a has a function of holding down the fishing line 4 between the hook 5a and the base bracket 5e, and the spring 5b shown in FIG. 2 has a role of pressing the hook 5a toward the base bracket 5e with the fulcrum 5d as the center of rotation.
The release lever 5c is used to rotate the hook 5a in a direction away from the base bracket 5e against the spring 5b.

According to the first aspect, at the time of casting, as shown in FIG. 1, the fishing line 4 is sandwiched between the hook 5a and the base bracket 5e, and the fishing rod is swung while the finger is put on the release lever 5c. When the release lever 5c is gripped at the time when the tip is directed to the point, the fishing line 4 pinched by the turning operation of the hook 5a is released from the hook 5a to be in a free state, and is stretched straight toward the point.

When performing casting without the casting assisting mechanism, the fishing line is usually sandwiched between the finger and the fishing rod, and the fishing line is released at the timing described above. In this case, during the turning operation of the fishing rod, Since the fishing line must be released by loosening the force of the fingertip, only the fingertip can be relaxed while the force is applied to the entire arm. Since the force is applied so that the fingertips are also narrowed down with the force applied, the entire operation can be performed in a natural motion, and the motion can be easily performed even by a beginner.

Next, claim 2 will be described. Fishing line 4
Is pressed by the hook 5a by using the reaction force of the spring 5b, but in this case, there is no release lever as shown in FIG. 3, and the hook 5a is connected to the connecting rod 5f so that the weight of the hook 5a is reduced. It is connected to a weight 5h that is rotatably supported about a turning fulcrum 5g.

At the time of casting, as shown in FIG. 3, the fishing line 4 is sandwiched between the hook 5a and the base bracket 5e, and when the fishing rod 1 is swung, when the tip of the fishing rod faces the point, the fishing rod 4 is connected by the acceleration acting on the weight 5h. The swiveling motion of the hook 5a connected to the weight 5h by the rod 5f releases the hooked fishing line 4 from the hook 5a and becomes free, so that it is stretched straight toward the point.

In this case, since the angler can automatically release the line at an optimum timing without any consideration of the releasing operation of the line at the time of casting, all the nerves can be concentrated only on the swinging of the fishing rod. It is possible to easily throw the weight at the target point.

In the above invention, specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention. Will be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, the restraining of the fishing line need not be limited to only between the hook and the base bracket, but may be performed between the guide ring and the reel, or the hook may be restrained by the hook alone.

Further, a spring has been exemplified as a means for giving the fishing line restraining force to the hook, but an elastic body such as rubber may be used. You may give a binding force. Also,
The release lever may employ a slide mechanism instead of a turning operation, or may be moved to another location by a wire cable or the like depending on the gripping operation position.

Further, the installation position of the casting assisting mechanism is not limited to the position between the guide ring and the reel, and can be installed at an arbitrary position on the fishing rod or attached to the reel.

Further, in claim 2, as the means for detecting the acceleration, a hydraulic pressure sealed in a fixed container may be used, or a change in the tension of the fishing line may be detected.

[0020]

As described above, the use of the casting auxiliary mechanism of the present invention allows even a beginner or a woman to easily throw a fishing rod away from a target place on the water surface. You can get the results.
