Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides a reel leg fixing apparatus having a sufficient strength in the coupling between the operation nut and the movable hood while reducing the thickness and the weight of the movable hood efficiently and effectively. In the reel leg fixing apparatus according to the present invention, the movable hood and the operation nut are coupled together when a locking portion bent and provided at an end of the movable hood is engaged with a recess at an end of the operation nut. The movable hood is formed of a prepreg sheet as a fiber-reinforced resin member including reinforcement fibers impregnated with a synthetic resin, and the reinforcement fibers oriented at least in the axial direction extend continuously at least in a coupling between the movable hood and the operation nut.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A reel leg fixing apparatus comprising: a movable hood having a tubular shape and including a protrusion protruding so as to have an opening for receiving a reel leg of a fishing reel; and an operation nut configured to be operated to move the movable hood in an axial direction, wherein the movable hood and the operation nut are coupled together when a locking portion bent and provided at an end of the movable hood is engaged with a recess at an end of the operation nut, and wherein the movable hood is formed of a fiber-reinforced resin member including reinforcement fibers impregnated with a synthetic resin, and the reinforcement fibers oriented at least in the axial direction extend continuously at least in a coupling between the movable hood and the operation nut. 2 . The reel leg fixing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the reinforcement fibers oriented at least in the axial direction extend continuously from an end of the locking portion through a bending portion of the locking portion toward the protrusion. 3 . The reel leg fixing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the reinforcement fibers oriented at least in the axial direction extend continuously over the almost entire length of the movable hood 4 . The reel leg fixing apparatus claim 1 wherein the locking portion and the recess have an annular shape. 5 . The reel leg fixing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the fiber-reinforced resin member is formed of a prepreg sheet including reinforcement fibers impregnated with a synthetic resin. 6 . The reel leg fixing apparatus of claim 1 wherein a reinforcement member for restricting radially outward deformation of the movable hood at the coupling is provided around or inside the fiber-reinforced resin member placed in the coupling or in the vicinity thereof. 7 . The reel leg fixing apparatus of claim 6 wherein the reinforcement member is formed of a metal ring-shaped member. 8 . The reel leg fixing apparatus of claim 6 wherein the reinforcement member is formed of a prepreg sheet including reinforcement fibers oriented in a circumferential direction.
