Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A reel seat attached to a rod body includes: a main body including a reel leg placing portion, a fixed hood, and a tubular portion; a movable hood; and a cylindrical nut member. The reel seat is capable of fixing a reel to the reel seat by preventing a hand or a finger from touching an operating member for fixing a reel leg to the reel seat when the reel is gripped or during a casting operation, and a fishing rod including the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A reel seat that is 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 provided on a front side in an axial direction of the reel leg placing portion, and a tubular portion provided on a rear side in the axial direction of the reel leg placing portion; a movable hood provided on the rear side in the axial direction of the reel leg placing portion; and a cylindrical nut member provided on an inner side of the tubular portion and enabling movement of the movable hood by rotation, wherein the movable hood comprises an engaging portion that is provided on an inner side of the tubular portion, and a hood portion that accommodates at least a part of the reel leg, the nut member comprises an operating part that protrudes outward in the axial direction from an end on the rear side in the axial direction of the tubular portion and operates a radially outer surface of the cylindrical nut member to enable rotation of the cylindrical nut member, an engaged portion that is provided to be relatively rotatable with respect to the tubular portion and has an inner surface or an outer surface seen in a radial direction of the cylindrical nut member engaging with the engaging portion, and a connecting portion that connects the operating part and the engaged portion, and the movable hood is movable to the front side in the axial direction by rotation of the nut member by operation of the operating part. 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 a grip portion is provided on an outer surface of the tubular portion. 4 . The reel seat according to claim 3 , wherein an end on the rear side in the axial direction of the grip portion is provided between the end on the rear side in the axial direction of the tubular portion and the operating part of the nut member as seen in the axial direction of the reel leg placing portion. 5 . The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the rod body is insertable into the tubular portion from the rear side in the axial direction. 6 . The reel seat according to claim 5 , wherein a spacer member is provided between an inner surface of the nut member and an outer surface of the rod body. 7 . The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein a stopper member is provided at an end on the rear side in the axial direction of the operating part of the nut member. 8 . The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein in a state in which the rod body is inserted, the rod body, the engaged portion, and the tubular portion are provided in order from an inner side as seen in a downward direction from a central axis of the tubular portion in a cross section perpendicular to an axial direction of the reel leg placing portion. 9 . The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion, the engaged portion, and the tubular portion are provided in order from an inner side as seen in a downward direction from a central axis of the tubular portion in a cross section perpendicular to an axial direction of the reel leg placing portion. 10 . The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion is formed into an arc shape as seen in a cross section perpendicular to an axial direction of the reel leg placing portion. 11 . The reel seat according to claim 10 , wherein an angle of an arc of the arc shape ranges from 70 degrees to 140 degrees. 12 . The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the rod body is attached by being inserted through some or all of the reel seat. 13 . A fishing rod comprising the reel seat according to claim 1 ; and a rod body.
