Abstract

A method of manufacturing a fishing line guide includes a step of cutting a plate to form a guide including a holding part, a step for forming a ring-shaped holder by pressing the holding part such that a first opening is formed at one end of the holder and a second opening is formed at the other end of the holder, a step for inserting a ceramic ring into the holder to extend through the first opening and the second opening so that the ceramic ring is in contact with the inner surface of the holder in the first opening and is spaced apart from the inner surface of the holder in the second opening, and a step of filling an adhesive in a space between the ceramic ring and the inner surface of the holder in the second opening.

Claims (9)

1. A method for manufacturing a fishing line guide for a fishing rod, comprising:

a preparation step for cutting a plate having a certain thickness into a guide including a holding part and a fastening part, wherein the holding part is a circular disk having a hole at a center;

a step for forming a ring-shaped holder by pressing and expanding an inner surface of the holding part toward an outer direction along a center axis of the hole such that a first opening is formed at one end of the ring-shaped holder, a second opening having a larger diameter than the first opening is formed at the other end of the ring-shaped holder, and a thickness of the ring-shaped holder is gradually reduced from the second opening to the first opening;

a ceramic ring attaching step for inserting a ceramic ring into the ring-shaped holder, to pass through the second opening, such that the ceramic ring is fixed in contact with an inner surface of the ring-shaped holder in the first opening and is spaced apart from the inner surface of the ring-shaped holder in the second opening; and

a step of filling an adhesive in a space between the ceramic ring and the inner surface of the ring-shaped holder in the second opening.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening part is formed to extend from the ring-shaped holder for fastening the ring-shaped holder on the fishing rod.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is made of epoxy resin.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the holder is made of steel.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the adhesive filled in the space between the ceramic ring and the inner surface of the ring-shaped holder is gradually reduced from the second opening toward the first opening.
