PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure for minimizing the number of screwing when mounting a rod keeper on a boat side and a structure for enabling an arm part of the rod keeper to softly move up and down to an external force.SOLUTION: In a rod keeper, equally-spaced key grooves are provided on two side surfaces of a square pole pipe 5 incorporated with a fixing bolt 6, and a bifurcated key 4 is inserted in the key grooves, so that the height of the square pole pipe 5 can be fixed. Accordingly, the square pole pipe is brought closely to the boat side lower face and is fixed with the bifurcated key 4, and thereby the bolt can be fixed to the boat side with the smallest number of screwing. An arm 1 is formed movable in a seesaw manner around an arm mounting mandrel 2 of the rod keeper as a fulcrum, and a kick spring and a stretching spring 7 mounted to the arm 1 are adjusted to maintain a balance between an anchor direction and a hand direction from the fulcrum, which enables even a small force applied on the top of a fishing rod be handled. Accordingly, the top of the fishing rod can softly handle the bounce and entrainment of the fishing rod due to wave and waviness at the time when the fishing rod is set in the rod keeper.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】ロッドキーパを船縁に取り付ける時にねじ込み回数が最小限で済む仕組みと、ロッドキーパのアーム部が外力に対して柔らかな上下運動が出来る仕組みを提供する。【解決手段】ロッドキーパーを構成する固定ボルト6を組み込んだ四角柱管5の側面2面に等間隔のキー溝を施し、このキー溝に二股キー4を差し込むことで四角柱管5の高さが固定できるため、船縁下部面まで四角柱管を近づけ、二股キー4で固定することで、ボルトを最小のねじ込み回数で船縁に固定できる。ロッドキーパーのアーム取り付け心棒2を支点にアーム1がシーソー運動出来るようにして、アーム1に取り付けたキックバネと引っ張りバネ7の調節により支点からアンカー方向と手元方向のバランスが保て、竿先に掛かる小さな力にも対応出来き、ロッドキーパーに竿をセットした時の波やうねりによる竿の跳ね上がりや引き込みに竿先が柔らかく対応出来る。【選択図】図1
