2. Description of the Related Art A fishing reel provided with a level wind device (a fishing line guide device) for winding a fishing line in parallel on a spool rotatably supported between reel side plates is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. Hei.
No. 44062 is conventionally known. FIG. 8 is a sectional view of a main part of a conventional fishing line guide device.

[0003] A guide cylinder 85 erected between inner frames 83, 84 of both side plates 81, 82 of a dual-bearing type reel,
A traverse shaft 87 having a traverse groove 86 and rotating in conjunction with the handle is fitted and fitted. A fishing line guide 89 having a fishing line guide hole 88 is slidably fitted to the outside of the guide cylinder 85. A long hole 91 for guiding the engaging pin 90 at the bottom of the fishing line guide body 89 to engage with the left and right is provided in the guide cylinder 85.
Has been drilled. With the rotation of the traverse shaft 87 interlocked with the rotation of the handle, the traverse groove 8 is formed through the elongated hole 91.
The fishing line guide 89 slides left and right on the guide cylinder 85 by the engagement pin 90 that engages with 6, and the fishing line is evenly distributed around the spool by the fishing line guide hole 88 and wound.

An engaging pin is provided in a guide cylinder, and a support for supporting the engaging pin and a fishing line guide are spring-biased radially outward, and both are integrally formed in the axial direction. A fishing reel of the type linked to move is disclosed in
No. 82530 is conventionally known. FIG. 9 is a sectional view of a main part of a conventional fishing reel. FIG. 10 is a bottom view showing a long hole of the guide cylinder shown in FIG. 9. Inside the guide cylinder 100, a traverse shaft 101 having a traverse groove 104 is slidably supported on the inner wall of the guide cylinder 100. An engaging pin 103 to which the body 102 is attached and which is supported by the support 102 protrudes from above to a position where it engages with the traverse groove 104.

On the other hand, a connecting pin 106 urged outward by a one-sided spring 105 is attached to the support 102 at a position facing the engaging pin 103, and the connecting pin 106 has a shape as shown in FIG. A fishing line guide 108 protrudes downward and outward through a long hole 107 of the drilled guide cylinder 100.
And the support 102 and the fishing line guide 1
08 are connected. If the connection is released by a clutch mechanism (not shown), the fishing line guide 108 can be made free. The traverse shaft 101 is rotated by the rotation of the handle, and the engaging pin 103 is engaged with the traverse groove 104.
, The support 102 is slid left and right along the traverse shaft 101, and the fishing line guide 108 reciprocates right and left on the guide cylinder 100 by the connecting pin 106 which reciprocates right and left in the long hole 107 with the time. As a result, the fishing line is evenly wound around the spool.

[0006]

However, in the above conventional example, in the former case, the long hole 9 formed in the guide cylinder 85 is not provided.
1 is for guiding the engaging pin 90 to the left and right, so that the opening space (exposure amount) is large. Therefore, when guiding the fishing line to which a large amount of seawater, water, dust, sand, etc. adheres, it is large. Seawater, dust, sand, and the like easily enter and adhere to the inside (traverse groove 86, engagement pin 90, etc.) from the opened elongated hole 91, which hinders the sliding action of the fishing line guide 89 and smooth operation can be obtained. There is a problem of disappearing.

In the latter case, although the opening width of the elongated hole 107 of the guide cylinder 100 can be made smaller than in the former case, the connecting pin 1 for accommodating and holding the bias spring 105 therein.
Due to the configuration for guiding the 06 to the left and right, there is a restriction even if the opening width of the long hole 107 formed in the guide cylinder 100 is reduced.
Furthermore, the structure in which the support 102 of the engaging pin 103 and the fishing line guide 108 are engaged and connected by the stretchable and unstable connecting pin 106 increases the play of the fishing line guide 108 and makes the fishing line uncomfortable during fishing operation. However, there is a problem that it is not preferable in terms of durability and strength.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention minimizes the width of a long hole formed in a guide cylinder of a level wind device and reliably prevents malfunction due to intrusion and adhesion of seawater, dust, sand, etc. into the interior. It is another object of the present invention to provide a fishing reel capable of performing a smooth fishing line guiding operation while minimizing backlash of the fishing line guide.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms a traverse groove interlocking with the rotation of a handle inside a guide tube provided in front of a spool rotatably supported between reel side plates. And a fishing line guide, which slides left and right through an engaging member engaging with the traverse groove, is fitted to the outside of the guide cylinder, and the traverse groove of the traverse shaft is A support supporting the engaging element, which is engaged with the traverse shaft, is slidably fitted between the inside of the guide tube and the outside of the traverse shaft, and the support and the fishing line guide are formed in an elongated guide tube. The support and the fishing line guide are attached to the guide tube so as to be able to move in the axial direction by a fixing member via a long hole.

[0010]

According to the above construction, the support supporting the engaging element engaged with the traverse groove of the traverse shaft and the fishing line guide are connected by the fixing member through the elongated hole formed in the guide cylinder. Since the support and the fishing line guide are attached to the guide cylinder so as to be able to move in the axial direction, the long hole width of the guide cylinder is elongated and made as small as possible so that seawater, dust, sand and the like can enter. Adhesion can be prevented and rattling of the fishing line guide can be suppressed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 show a fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view of a fishing reel according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of the embodiment shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a partially cutaway view of the embodiment shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows B of the embodiment shown in FIG.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment shown in FIG.
It is a line sectional view.

As shown in FIG. 1, a traverse shaft 6 interlocked with a handle shaft 4 via a gear mechanism 5 or the like is provided between traverse grooves 7 between reel side plates 2 and 3 supporting a spool 1 of a dual-bearing type reel. And a guide tube 8 in which the traverse shaft 6 is inserted is provided between the reel side plates 2 and 3 on the outside thereof. The traverse shaft 6 or an elastic body 15 that regulates unnecessary rattling of the gear in the axial direction is interposed at the end of the gear mechanism 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, a fishing line guide 9 having a fishing line guide hole 10 is fitted to the outside of the guide cylinder 8 having a cylindrical cross section so as to be reciprocally movable in the axial direction. Inside the guide tube 8,
A support 12 that supports an engaging element (referred to as an engaging pin) 11 that engages with a traverse groove 7 formed on the traverse shaft 6.
Are fitted between the inside of the guide tube 8 and the outside of the traverse shaft 6 so as to be slidable in the axial direction. As also shown in FIG.
The support 12 is slid left and right on the traverse shaft 6 by the engaging pin 11 engaging with the traverse groove 7.

Further, at the position opposite to the position of the engagement pin 11 of the support 12, the fishing line guide 9 and the slot 1 on the guide tube 8 are provided.
Through 4, a connecting pin (press-fit pin or screw body) 13 having a let processed portion 13 a, which is a fixing member, is mounted. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the long hole 14 is formed in a small width shape into which the elongated press-fit pin 13 on the guide cylinder 8 is inserted in the axial direction. The press-fit pin 13 is inserted into the support 12 from the outer fishing line guide 9 through the elongated hole 14, and the fishing line guide 9 and the support 12 are fixed as shown in FIG. Fishing line guide 9 with sliding
Also, the guide pin 8 is guided by the elongated hole 14 that guides the press-fit pin 13 in the left-right direction, and slides right and left on the guide cylinder 8.

In the dual-bearing type reel having the above structure, the spool 1 is rotated by the rotation of the handle shaft 4, and the traverse shaft 6 is rotated by the gear mechanism 5 to engage with the traverse groove 7. The support 12 slides left and right on the traverse shaft 6 by the engaging pin 11
A press-fit pin 13 is provided by a well-known level wind sliding mechanism that converts the so-called handle rotation into a reciprocating linear movement.
The fishing line guide 9 connected and fixed to the support 12 by
The guide line 8 is slid left and right on the guide tube 8 while being guided by the long hole 14, and the fishing line is wound around the spool 1 on average.

In this case, in this embodiment, the press-fit pin 13 reciprocates and guides the sliding of the fishing line guide 9, and the width of the elongated hole 14 of the guide cylinder 8 is set within the range in which the press-fit pin 13 can reciprocate. Since the width of the long hole is improved to be considerably smaller than that of the conventional example, it is possible to minimize the invasion and adhesion of seawater, dust, sand and the like to the inside.

The connecting method between the fishing line guide 9 and the support 12 is not an unstable structure, but is improved so as to be firmly fixed by using the press-fit pin 13, so that the play during operation of the fishing line guide 9 is improved. Sticking can also be reliably prevented.

Further, since the playability of the traverse shaft 6 or the gear rotating the traverse shaft 6 in the thrust direction is regulated by interposing the elastic body 15, the fishing line is vigorously swung down together with the fishing rod to discharge the fishing line. During the casting operation, the rattling sound can be prevented from occurring, the operation is comfortable, and the line winding state in which the fishing line is wound around the spool 1 can be stabilized.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a main part of a level winding device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the elastic body 16 for regulating the degree of play of the traverse shaft 6 and the like is provided not on the gear mechanism 5 but on the reel side plate 2 supporting the traverse shaft 6. With this position, as compared with the gear mechanism 5 side where the attachment meshing position is severe, the same regulation effect can be obtained, and the assembling work is facilitated.

FIG. 7 is a partially cutaway sectional view of a level winding device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the connecting press-fit pin 13 shown in FIG.
This is an example in which the fishing line guide 9 and the support 12 are fixed. Similarly, rattling during operation of the fishing line guide 9 can be reliably prevented, and the cost of parts can be reduced.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention,
In a dual-bearing type reel using a level wind device, a support for supporting an engaging element engaged with a traverse groove of a traverse shaft is fitted between the inside of the guide cylinder and the outside of the traverse shaft so as to be movable in the axial direction. Since the support and the fishing line guide were connected to each other by a fixing member via an elongated slot formed in the guide tube, and the support and the fishing line guide were attached to the guide tube so as to be rotatable in the axial direction, It is possible to make the slot width of the guide cylinder necessary for converting the rotational force of the traverse shaft into the reciprocating motion of the fishing line guide to the left and right as small as possible, and the penetration of seawater, dust, sand, etc. into the inside becomes possible. An operation failure can be surely prevented, and with a simple structure, rattling of the fishing line guide can be suppressed as much as possible, and a smooth fishing line guiding operation can be performed.
