  However, user requests (requests) are diverse and change with the times. For this reason, an unprecedented novel decoration form is desired every day. It is also desired that such a novel decorative form can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod having a novel decorative portion with an excellent appearance and a method for easily and inexpensively manufacturing such a fishing rod. There is to do.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the fishing rod of the present invention includes a rod main body and a decorative portion provided at a predetermined portion of the rod main body, and the decorative portion is a minute part formed on the surface of the rod main body. An uneven portion, a smooth surface portion formed at an arbitrary position on these minute uneven portions, a light reflecting layer formed on the uneven portion and the smooth surface portion, and approximately half a circumference of the heel body A light-transmitting colored layer formed on the light-reflecting layer, and the colored layer has a light transmittance that gradually increases toward a peripheral end thereof.

  In the above-described configuration, the minute unevenness formed on the surface of the heel body is smoothed by the smooth surface formed at an arbitrary position, and the colored layer formed on the smooth surface Since it has optical transparency, the glitter is exhibited by reflection by the lower light reflection layer. In other words, since the smooth surface portion smoothes minute uneven portions, light is not irregularly reflected here, and becomes a portion exhibiting a lustrous appearance in combination with the color of the colored layer. On the other hand, the light reflection layer on the minute uneven portion where the smooth surface portion is not formed becomes a portion exhibiting the ground color of the colored layer as the appearance because the glittering property is lowered by irregular reflection by the uneven portion. As a result, when the entire fishing rod is viewed, an appearance in which a portion exhibiting brilliancy and a color appearing by desired coloring in the colored layer (a portion having reduced brilliancy) is obtained.

  In the above-described configuration, in addition to the above-described effects, the colored layer is further formed on the light reflecting layer over substantially half the circumference of the bag body, and the light transmittance of the colored layer is gradually increased toward the peripheral edge. Therefore, a fantastic and novel appearance and gloss that the color of the colored layer is blurred and the glitter changes so that the colored layer and the light reflecting layer are mixed at the peripheral edge portion, the both sides of the colored layer are It will appear on both sides of the fishing rod corresponding to the peripheral edge. That is, a novel decorative part having an excellent appearance can be obtained.

  Further, in the above-described configuration, the colored layer is formed on the first colored layer having a substantially uniform thickness across the peripheral end portions on both sides thereof, and toward the peripheral end portion. You may consist of the 2nd colored layer from which thickness becomes thin gradually. In such a form, the color of the colored layer can be clearly and easily blurred, and the novelty of the wrinkle appearance can be further enhanced.

  Further, in the above configuration, the peripheral end portion of the first colored layer extends in a substantially wave shape along the longitudinal direction of the heel body, and the peripheral end portion of the second colored layer is the heel body. It may extend in a substantially linear form along the longitudinal direction. In such a configuration, a decorative form in which the glitter is regularly or irregularly changed along the longitudinal direction is obtained, and so-called corrugated shapes are formed on both sides of the fishing rod corresponding to the peripheral end portions on both sides of the colored layer. A form of “blade” can be obtained, and a very novel appearance can be obtained as a decoration form of a fishing rod. In such a configuration, the peripheral end portion of the colored layer includes a first colored region formed by laminating a first colored layer and a second colored layer, and a second colored layer consisting only of the second colored layer. It is preferable that the two colored regions are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the heel body. As a result, the form of “blade” clearly appears on the surface of the heel, and the novelty can be further enhanced.

In the present invention, the first step of forming a minute uneven portion on the surface of the bag main body, the second step of forming a smooth surface portion at an arbitrary position on the uneven portion, the uneven portion and A third step of forming a light reflecting layer over the smooth surface portion, a fourth step of masking over a substantially half circumference of the bag body on which the light reflecting layer is formed, and a mask body subjected to the masking. A fifth step of forming a first colored layer with a substantially uniform thickness by spraying a colored paint on a portion of the light reflecting layer that is not masked while being rotated; and the first colored layer After the mask is formed, the masking is removed, and the paint is similar to the paint that forms the first colored layer without rotating the bag main body at a substantially central position between the peripheral edge portions on both sides of the first colored layer. The paint of the above Fishing rod manufacturing method which comprises a sixth step of forming a second colored layer is provided by spraying on to the colored layer. In this case, the peripheral edge of the masking may have a substantially wave shape.
According to such a manufacturing method, the fishing rod having the characteristic configuration described above can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the fishing rod which has the novel decoration part excellent in the external appearance, and the method which can manufacture such a fishing rod easily and cheaply can be provided.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an entire configuration of a fishing rod 1 having a decorative portion A having a characteristic shape. As shown in the figure, the fishing rod 1 includes a plurality of tubular bodies (pipes), specifically, a main rod 3 having a grip 3a, a first middle rod 5, a second middle rod 7, and a fishing line fastener 9a. It is comprised by the tip 9 which has. In this case, each kite pipe is configured as a swing-out type or a relay type, and the kite body constituting each kite pipe is formed by winding a fiber reinforced prepreg impregnated with a synthetic resin in a reinforced fiber, A decorative portion A, which will be described later, is formed on the soot tube.

  7 to 10 show the detailed configuration of the decorative portion A. FIG. 7 is a side view of the decorative portion, FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. 7, FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line YY of FIG. 7, and FIG. It is a cross-sectional view along ZZ. Here, a description will be given by taking out the second middle rod 7 from the above-mentioned rods.

  As shown in these drawings, the collar body 10 constituting the middle collar 7 is formed of fiber reinforced plastic as described above, and particularly forms the decorative portion A as shown in FIG. On the surface of the bag main body 10, minute uneven portions 10 a are formed. In this case, “microscopic” means that the average height (difference between peaks and valleys) of the convex portions in the concave and convex portions is roughened to 0.1 to 5 μm, preferably 0.3 to 3 μm. . This is because when the average height of the protrusions is 0.1 μm or less, the surface is smoothed, and when it is 5 μm or more, the unevenness becomes clear and finally looks bad. Because. Such a surface can be formed by, for example, buffing the surface of the main body 10, performing wet blasting, or spraying particles having a predetermined particle diameter.

  Moreover, on the uneven part 10a formed in this way, a smooth surface part 11 having a desired shape is dispersed and formed at an arbitrary position so as to exhibit a glossy appearance. These smooth surface portions 11 are only required to be at least thick enough to fill the concavo-convex portions 10a and have a smooth surface side. For example, a synthetic resin such as epoxy, urethane, acrylic, acrylic silicon, or silicon is used. It can be formed by various coating methods such as spray coating, squeaking coating, and brush coating. Further, it may be colored by mixing a pigment or the like.

  Further, a light reflecting layer 14 is formed on the smooth surface portion 11 formed in a dispersed manner and on the uneven portion 10a where the smooth surface portion 11 is not formed. The light reflecting layer 14 is made of a glittering material, for example, a predetermined synthetic resin (acrylic resin, epoxy resin, vinyl resin, etc.) and a plurality of particles having glitter (hereinafter referred to as glitter particles). ) Can be formed by painting a desired density and uniformly mixed. In this case, the thickness of the light reflecting layer 14 is formed in accordance with the shape of the uneven portion 10a, and it is sufficient that the uneven portion 10a has an uneven state on the surface. That is, if the wall thickness is too thick, the surface side becomes smooth, and if it is too thin, uniform glitter cannot be obtained, so in practice it is 10 μm or less, preferably 8 μm or less, More preferably, it is good to set to 1-5 micrometers.

The glitter particles mixed in the predetermined synthetic resin have glitter and various colors such as Al, Cu, Ag, Mg, In, Cr, Si, Ni, Ti, Au, Rh, and Pt. Metal materials can be used. In this case, the size of each particle is set to 2 μm or less, preferably 0.3 μm to 1 μm, and the thickness is set to 1 μm or less, preferably 0.03 μm to 0.5 μm. Good to do. That is, if the size and thickness of the particle body are set outside this range, the glitter particles cannot be uniformly arranged in the synthetic resin at a desired density and the boundaries of the glitter particles become conspicuous. This is because the light reflection direction is not constant, and a uniform glossy appearance cannot be exhibited. For example, such a glittering particle is formed by depositing or sputtering the metal material on a film-like support substrate made of Teflon (registered trademark), silicon resin, or the like, and then forming the metal layer. It can be formed by peeling the layer from the support substrate and crushing. It is preferable that the plurality of glittering particles formed in this way are uniformly arranged at such a density as to sufficiently exhibit the glitter and produce a desired color. Specifically, the density of the glitter particles mixed in the synthetic resin is preferably set so that the number of glitter particles per unit area is 50,000 to 20 million / mm ² . According to the light reflecting layer 12 formed in this way, it is possible to present a glittering appearance that is uniform and colored in a desired color.

  In addition to the configuration described above, the light reflecting layer 14 may be composed of, for example, metal pieces such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, chromium, cobalt, nickel, iron, and zinc, or particles such as pigments alone or these. It is also possible to form by arbitrarily combining the above, mixing this in a small amount of synthetic resin, diluting with a large amount of solvent, spraying this with gun spray coating, etc., and then removing (volatilizing) the solvent. . In this case, by increasing the ratio of the solvent to the synthetic resin, it is possible to increase the volatile components and reduce the thickness of the light reflecting layer. As described above, the thickness of the light reflecting layer 12 can be reduced. In order to set the thickness to 10 μm or less, preferably 8 μm or less, more preferably 1 to 5 μm, the ratio of the solvent to the synthetic resin may be 250% or more. Various appearances can be formed by changing the size and combination of particles such as metal pieces and pigments.

Alternatively, in addition to the configuration described above, the light reflecting layer 14 may be made of metal such as Cr, Ni, Ti, Al, Ag, and Be, alloys such as TiN, TiCN, CrN, and Fe—Cr—Ni, TiO ₂ , SiC, and the like. It is possible to form ceramics as a main material, and this can also improve the appearance. Such a light reflection layer using metal or ceramics can be formed using physical plating such as ion plating, sputtering or vapor deposition, dry plating such as chemical vapor deposition or vacuum vapor deposition, or wet plating. It is. In addition, the thickness of the light reflection layer formed at that time is 10 μm or less, preferably 8 μm or less, more preferably, in consideration of weight reduction, flexibility, appearance such as glitter, touch of unevenness, etc. It is good to set it as the range of 0.1-5 micrometers. 8 and 9 do not show the light reflecting layer 14 for simplification.

  Further, on the light reflecting layer 14 formed in this way, a colored layer 12 (12a, 12b) having light transmittance is formed over a substantially half circumference (for example, in a range of 160 ° to 200 °) of the bag main body 10. Has been. In this case, the light transmittance of the colored layer 12 (12a, 12b) gradually increases toward the peripheral end portions 12ax, 12bx. Here, “gradually” means that the light transmittance changes with a predetermined gradient or stepwise. In the present embodiment, as one means for gradually increasing the light transmittance toward the peripheral ends 12ax, 12bx of the colored layer 12 (12a, 12b), the colored layer 12 is used as the peripheral ends 12ax on both sides thereof. , 12ax, a first colored layer 12a having a substantially uniform thickness, and a first colored layer 12a formed on the first colored layer 12a and gradually decreasing in thickness toward the peripheral end portions 12bx, 12bx on both sides. 2 colored layers 12b.

  Here, the thickness of the first colored layer 12a is preferably 15 to 30 μm. Moreover, it is preferable that the thickness of the 2nd colored layer 12b is 2-7 micrometers. In addition, the thickness of the second colored layer 12b is gradually reduced toward the peripheral end portion 12bx.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as clearly shown in FIG. 7, the peripheral end portion 12ax of the first colored layer 12a extends in a substantially wave shape along the longitudinal direction of the collar body 10, and The peripheral end portion 12bx of the second colored layer 12b extends in a substantially linear form along the longitudinal direction of the collar body 10. In addition to this, in the peripheral ends 12ax and 12bx of the colored layer 12, the first colored region R1 formed by laminating the first colored layer 12a and the second colored layer 12b, and the second colored The second colored regions R <b> 2 including only the layer 12 b are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the bag main body 10. In this case, the transition from the first colored region R1 to the second colored region R2 or the transition from the second colored region R2 to the first colored region R1 is made with a predetermined step or with a smooth slope. Yes. When the transition between the colored regions R1 and R2 is made with a smooth slope, the fishing line can be prevented from being caught at this portion, and the feel of the hand can be improved.

  In addition, the material which comprises the colored layer 12 is formed by making a main material which mixed coloring materials, such as a pigment and dye, into transparent or semi-transparent synthetic resins, such as an epoxy and urethane, contain a hardening | curing agent, for example. The colored layer 12 can be formed by painting the material thus formed. In this case, the mixing amount of the colorant is preferably 20% or less with respect to the resin amount and the thickness thereof is preferably 10 μm or less so that a certain degree of translucency can be obtained. As the color of the coloring material, black is used in the present embodiment, but any color can be selected.

  Further, in the decorative portion A formed as described above, the region in which the unevenness is smoothed by the smooth surface portion 11 among the fine unevenness portions 10a formed on the surface of the heel body 10 is a colored layer. Since 12 has translucency, it becomes a portion exhibiting glitter due to the glossiness of the light reflecting layer 14 below. That is, since the smooth surface portion 11 formed in a dispersed manner smoothes the minute uneven portions 10a, light is not irregularly reflected, and the color of the colored layer 12 and the glitter of the light reflecting layer 14 are accompanied. Combined with the color, it becomes a portion A1 exhibiting an appearance with a large glitter (see FIG. 10). On the other hand, in the region of the minute uneven portion 10a where the smooth surface portion 11 is not formed, the light incident on the light reflecting layer 14 is reduced in radiance due to irregular reflection by the uneven portion, so that the ground of the colored layer 12 is mainly used. The color appears as an appearance (becomes a portion A2 exhibiting an appearance with a small glitter).

  In the present embodiment, a protective layer may be formed on the colored layer 12 using a transparent or translucent synthetic resin such as epoxy, urethane, acrylic, acrylic silicon, or the like. In this case, the thickness of the protective layer is 30 μm or less, preferably 20 μm or less so that the weight can be reduced. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a base layer 15 may be formed in advance on the surface of the bag main body 10, and the uneven portion 10 a may be formed on the base layer 15. Such an underlayer 15 can be formed by metallic coating, color clear, pearl coating, other colored paints, etc., and by forming such an underlayer 15, hue, brightness, etc. It is possible to adjust the color tone, change, and glitter, and to improve the appearance in combination with each layer formed thereon. Such an underlayer 15 is preferably formed with a thickness of 30 μm or less, preferably 20 μm or less, in consideration of weight reduction.

  Next, a method for manufacturing the decorative portion A having the above configuration will be briefly described.

  First, after forming the minute irregularities 10a on the surface of the bag main body 10 by the above-described method, as shown in FIG. The smooth surface portion 11 is formed at an arbitrary position on the concavo-convex portion 10a by spraying mottled over the entire periphery of the ridge body 10. Subsequently, the light reflecting layer 14 is formed over the uneven portion 10a and the smooth surface portion 11 by the method described above. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, masking 60 is applied over substantially half the circumference of the bag body 10 on which the light reflecting layer 14 is formed. In this case, the peripheral edge of the masking 60 has a substantially wave shape.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5, while rotating the heel body 10 to which the masking 60 is applied, as shown in FIG. 5, the non-masking includes almost the entire periphery of the heel body 10 including the masking 60 or at least the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the masking 60. A predetermined coating material (here, a black transparent material) 42 is spray-coated from the spray coating apparatus 40 over the part. That is, the first colored layer 12a is formed with a substantially uniform thickness by spraying the paint 42 on the portion of the light reflecting layer 14 where the masking 60 is not applied.

  When the first colored layer 12a is thus formed, the masking 60 is removed as shown in FIG. At this time, the peripheral end portion 12ax of the first colored layer 12a extends in a substantially wave shape along the longitudinal direction of the collar body 10 corresponding to the shape of the peripheral end portion of the masking 60. . Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the spray coating device 40 is positioned at a substantially central position between the peripheral end portions 12ax, 12ax on both sides of the first colored layer 12a. The same coating material 42 as the coating material forming the first colored layer 12a is sprayed onto the first colored layer 12a by the spray coating apparatus 40. Thereby, on the first colored layer 12a, the second colored layer 12b is gradually thinned toward the peripheral end portion 12bx (light transmission gradually toward the peripheral end portion 12bx). (To increase the rate). In this case, the coating 42 is sprayed so that the peripheral end portion 12bx of the second colored layer 12b extends in a substantially linear form along the longitudinal direction of the main body 10, and the peripheral end portion of the colored layer 12 is also sprayed. The coating material 42 is sprayed so that the first colored region R1 and the second colored region R2 are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the bag main body 1 at 12ax and 12bx. Thereby, the decoration part A as shown in FIGS. 7-10 mentioned above is formed.

  As described above, in the decorative portion A of the present embodiment, an appearance in which a portion A1 that exhibits an appearance with a large glitter and a portion A2 that exhibits an appearance with a small glitter is mixed is obtained, and in addition, coloring is further performed. The layer 12 is formed on the light reflecting layer 14 over substantially half the circumference of the cocoon body 10, and the light transmittance of the colored layer 12 gradually increases toward the peripheral end. Therefore, a fantastic and novel appearance and luster in which the color of the colored layer 12 is blurred and the glitter is changed so that the colored layer 12 and the light reflecting layer 14 are mixed in the peripheral end portions 12ax and 12bx. 12 appears on both sides of the fishing rod 1 corresponding to the peripheral end portions 12ax, 12bx on both sides. That is, a novel decorative portion A having an excellent appearance can be obtained.

  In the present embodiment, the colored layer 12 is formed on the first colored layer 12a, the first colored layer 12a having a substantially uniform thickness between the peripheral end portions 12ax, 12ax on both sides thereof, and It consists of a second colored layer 12b that gradually decreases in thickness toward the peripheral end 12bx. Therefore, it is possible to clearly and easily blur the color of the colored layer 12, and to further improve the novelty of the wrinkle appearance.

  In the present embodiment, the peripheral end portion 12ax of the first colored layer 12a extends in a substantially wave shape along the longitudinal direction of the collar body 10, and the peripheral end portion 12bx of the second colored layer 12b. Is extending in a substantially linear form along the longitudinal direction of the heel body 10. Therefore, a decorative form in which the glitter is changed regularly or irregularly along the longitudinal direction is obtained, and corrugations are formed on both sides of the fishing rod 1 corresponding to the peripheral ends 12ax, 12bx on both sides of the colored layer 12. A so-called “blade” form can be obtained, and a very novel appearance can be obtained as a decoration form of the fishing rod 1.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first coloring region R1 formed by laminating the first coloring layer 12a and the second coloring layer 12b and the second coloring at the peripheral ends 12ax and 12bx of the coloring layer 12 are used. The second colored regions R <b> 2 including only the layer 12 b are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the bag main body 10. Therefore, the form of “blade” clearly appears on the surface of the heel, and the novelty can be further enhanced.
