ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improved fishing rod structure, and more particularly to a fishing rod in which the movable seat for fixing the line winder has simple structure and can be easily manufactured.
FIGS. 4
to
6
show a conventional fishing rod including a handle
81
and a fixing seat
82
mounted on the handle
81
. The front end of the fixing seat
82
is formed with a thread section
83
. The front end of the thread section
83
has a differential sect ion
84
. A movable seat
9
is screwed on the thread section
83
. A collar
91
is fixed on the front section of the movable seat
9
corresponding to the differential section
84
. The collar
91
has a diameter larger than the maximum diameter of the differential section
84
. A top section of the collar
91
is formed with a receptacle
92
. The bottom face of the receptacle
92
is formed with a hole
93
in which an abutting pin
94
and a spring
95
are disposed. A disc member
97
is locked in the receptacle
92
by a fastening ring
96
. The disc member
97
is formed with a central differential hole
971
complementary to the differential section
84
. The disc member
97
has a toothed bottom face
972
. The abutting pin
94
is pushed by the spring
95
to abut against the toothed face
972
of the disc member
97
. The differential section
84
is inserted into the differential hole
971
of the disc member
97
to restrict the disc member
97
from rotating. When rotating the movable seat
9
, the collar
91
is driven to rotate. At this time, the abutting pin
94
abrades the toothed face
972
of the disc member
97
to increase the frictional resistance so as to avoid loosening. In addition, when rotating the movable seat
9
for tightly clamping the line winder, the tightening travel of the movable seat
9
can be judged by means of the number of the sound emitted by the rotated movable seat
9
so as to identify the tightness of the line winder clamped by the movable seat
9
.
According to the above arrangement, the hole
93
of the collar
91
of the movable seat
9
, the abutting pin
94
and the spring
95
all have very small size so that it is uneasy to manufacture and process these components and the manufacturing cost is relatively high. Moreover, it is uneasy to assemble these tiny components and it often takes place that some of the components miss or are neglected when installed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved fishing rod structure including a handle and a fixing seat disposed on front section of the handle for fixing a line winder. A toothed section axially extends from front end of the thread section. A fitting sleeve is fitted in a top section of the movable seat. An abutting member is disposed on a bottom section of the fitting sleeve. The abutting member protrudes from inner circumference of the fitting sleeve to abut against the toothed section so as to increase the frictional resistance. The fishing rod has less components and simple structure so that the fishing rod can be easily manufactured and assembled. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is lowered.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
