Japanese Patent JPS5581576

U

A telescopic fishing rod including a plurality of rod elements, a terminal rod portion and a fishing rod extending and contracting device including a reel having an elongated member wound thereon, the elongated member being connected at one end to the reel and at the other end to the rear end of the terminal rod portion, a spiral spring supported coaxially with the reel, a feed gear for feeding the elongated member having a ratchet-and-pawl arrangement connected unitarily therewith, a knob for bringing the pawl into and out of engagement with the ratchet wheel, and a handle lever for turning the reel to pay the elongated member out of the reel. The elongated member wound on the reel when the fishing rod is in a contracted state is paid out of the reel as the handle lever is turned to thereby rotate the reel and cause the rod elements and terminal rod portion to slide out one from another while energy is stored in the spiral spring as the latter is compressed, thereby bringing the fishing rod to an extended state. The extended fishing rod can be automatically contracted if the energy stored in the spiral spring is released by pushing the knob downwardly to bring the pawl out of engagement with the ratchet wheel.
