ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for supporting a fishing rod, includes receptacle and cover members pivotably connected to each other and movable about a pivot axis between open and closed positions, the two members when in an open relation being adapted to receive a portion of a fishing rod therebetween, and the two members when in a closed relation cooperating to define a housing circumscribing at least part of the contained portion of a fishing rod while supporting the fishing rod in a rest position with the axis thereof generally parallel to such pivot axis, and the two members being cooperative to engage with a part of the fishing rod to resist pivoting movement toward an open position in response to forces in the fishing rod tending to tilt the same on an angle with respect to such pivot axis, and an opening device or portion responsive to force applied by such fishing rod to the cover member in a direction generally perpendicular to such pivot axis to open the members to permit removing such fishing rod. Features of the invention include a unique secure interference fit of multiple parts of the invention for increasing strength thereof and facilitating use of molded plastic parts, a unique slide-lock to permit insertion and removal of the receptacle and cover members with respect to a support base, and a rotatability feature that both securely retains the receptacle and cover members in a support base while also facilitating expeditious and secure insertion and removal of the receptacle and cover members with respect to the base.
