Abstract

A reel seat attaches to a rod body and includes a main body including a reel leg placing portion with a reel leg, a fixed hood, tubular portion and movable hood on the reel leg placing portion; and a nut member on the tubular portion rotates the movable hood, wherein the tubular portion includes cylindrical and recessed portions partially cut out, the movable hood includes an engaging portion inside the tubular portion and a hood portion accommodating at least a part of the reel leg, the nut member is on an outer surface of the recessed portion to be relatively rotatable and an inner surface of the nut member is engaged with the engaging portion so the movable hood moves to the rear side in the axial direction by rotation of the nut member, and the rod body is insertable into the cylindrical portion of the tubular portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A reel seat configured to be attached to a rod body, the reel seat comprising:
a reel seat main body comprising a reel leg placing portion on which a reel leg is placed;
a fixed hood on a rear side in an axial direction of the reel leg placing portion;
a tubular portion partially cut out and on a front side in the axial direction of the reel leg placing portion;
a movable hood on a front side in the axial direction of the reel leg placing portion; and
a nut member on an outer surface of the tubular portion and enabling movement of the movable hood by rotation, wherein
the tubular portion comprises a cylindrical portion and a recessed portion partially cut out,
the movable hood comprises an engaging portion on an inner surface of the tubular portion and a hood portion accommodating at least a part of the reel leg,
the nut member is on an outer surface of the recessed portion so as to be relatively rotatable and an inner surface of the nut member is engaged with the engaging portion in such a manner that the movable hood can be moved to the rear side in the axial direction by rotation of the nut member,
the rod body is insertable into the cylindrical portion of the tubular portion,
the engagement portion is configured to be in contact with the rod body at an inner surface of the engagement portion, and
the hood portion is configured to enter an opening formed at an end face of the tubular portion and to be fitted onto a front end of the reel leg placed on the reel leg placing portion.

2. The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion and the nut member are screwed with each other.

3. The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the rod body is inserted into the cylindrical portion in a range from 5 mm to 20 mm as seen in an axial direction of the cylindrical portion.

4. The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein, in a state in which the rod body is inserted, the rod body, the engaging portion, and the reel seat main body are in order the recited order from a central axis of the tubular portion in a cross section perpendicular to an axial direction of the tubular portion.

5. The reel seat according to claim 4 , wherein the engaging portion comprises an arc shape as seen in the cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the tubular portion.

6. The reel seat according to claim 5 , wherein an angle of an arc of the arc shape ranges from 70 degrees to 90 degrees.

7. The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion and the hood portion are offset from each other as seen in a radial direction of a central axis of the reel seat.

8. The reel seat according to claim 7 , wherein a connection part extending perpendicularly to the central axis of the reel seat and connecting the engaging portion and the hood portion is between the engaging portion and the hood portion.

9. The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion of the movable hood can move a cutout portion of the recessed portion of the tubular portion in an axial direction of the reel seat.

10. A fishing rod comprising: the reel seat according to claim 1 ; and the rod body.
