Abstract
A rod chucking handle for fishing rods has a front extension having an axial hole for receiving a butt end of a rod, a fixing sleeve screwed over the front extension, an annular groove formed between the end of the extension and the sleeve in such an arrangement as to change its width by movement of the fixing sleeve and an elastic clamping ring disposed in the annular groove and configurated such that the elastic clamping ring is deformed into pressure contact with the outer peripheral surface of the butt end of the rod for joining the fishing rod with the handle by narrowing the width of the annular groove.
Claims1
A rod chucking handle for a fishing rod which comprises in combination, a handle portion having a cylindrical front extension, said extension having an axial hole disposed for receiving a butt end of a fishing pole, said cylindrical front extension having outer threads formed on the front end portion, a fixing sleeve having inner surface threads and matingly disposed over said threads of the cylindrical front extension, said fixing sleeve having an inner flange formed near its front end adjacent a non-threaded surface thereof, an elastic clamping ring having a cylindrical configuration and disposed in a nonthreaded annular recess gap defined by the rear end surface of said inner flange, the adjacent non-threaded surface of the fixing sleeve and a front end surface of said front extension, an anti-friction annular spacer, said spacer having an L-shaped transverse cross-sectional profile taken in half-section from an axial line and having one leg member thereof disposed between the inner flange of the fixing sleeve and the elastic clamping ring, and the other leg member thereof being disposed between the non-threaded surface of the fixing sleeve and the elastic clamping ring, said anti-friction annular spacer being supported in the recess gap by the elastic clamping ring, said axial hole having a terminal rear inner wall converging and disposed to receive the butt end of a fishing pole along the converging inner wall, said threads on the cylindrical front extension and the fixing sleeve being mated such that fastening of the fixing sleeve onto the cylindrical front extension causes narrowing of the annular recess gap and thereby said clamping ring is forced to deform inwardly to provide a reduced inner diameter snugly engaging said butt end and transmitting an axial force thereto, and whereby the butt end of a fishing pole may be secured to the chucking handle by forceful engagement with the converging wall at one end and by the elastic clamping ring along a body portion of the butt end thereof.
