Abstract

A frame for a line guide ring in which an operation of a fishing line is not prevented while a drawing work is performed to a holding frame is provided. The frame comprises a ring shaped holding frame for holding a guide ring through which a fishing line extends and a front side mounting leg integrally formed in a lower side of the holding frame. The holding frame is formed by a drawing in such a manner that an axial portion extending to an axial direction is formed and that the front side mounting leg extends from a rear end of the axial portion. The front side mounting leg is bent in such a manner that a front end thereof extends to the front side against the holding frame formed by a drawing. The front side mounting leg is bent such that a starting end for bending is set to a side closer to the axial portion than a root end.

Claims

1. A frame for a line guide ring comprising a ring shaped holding frame for holding a guide ring through which a fishing line extends, said holding frame having a circular axial portion extending in an axial direction and having a front and a rear surface;

and a front mounting leg integrally formed at the bottom rear surface of the axial portion, said front mounting leg having a distal end, a proximal end, and a root end intermediate said distal and proximal ends and in the vicinity of said proximal end;

said front mounting leg extending from the rear of the axial portion and being bent in such a manner such that it does not project rearwardly from the rear surface of said axial portion, and that the distal end thereof extends to the front of said holding frame; and

the bending of the front mounting leg begins at the bottom rear surface of said axial portion where the front mounting leg is integrally formed to the axial portion.

2. A frame for a line guide ring as defined in claim 1, wherein said front mounting leg is bent so as to form a recess having a size which serves as a pouring inlet for an adhesive material in a rear surface where bending of the front mounting leg begins.

3. A frame for a line guide ring as defined in claim 1, wherein said front mounting leg is bent so as to form a recess having a size which serves as a pouring inlet for an adhesive material in a rear surface where bending of the front mounting leg begins.
