FR2605846A1 - Fixed-drum reel spool - Google Patents

Abstract

Device for facilitating the unwinding at the end of fixed-drum reel spools. The spool has two detachable elements: one is a ring 1 whose inner edge is fixed, preferably by screwing, onto the central part 2 of the upper flank of the spool, and whose free edge 10, which is bulging, has an asymmetric profile; the other is a cylindrical skirt 3, which is slit vertically 7, which partitions the groove in the spool where its stability is ensured, while leaving a slight clearance at the top by a collar 6, and, at the bottom, by a circular cut 4. The deep spool 8 is used as a line reserve for the smaller spool 9 whose level of filling it is desired to increase when it is too low. The end unwinding conditions may also be improved by inverting the ring 7 or by replacing it by another with different outer diameter. The spool may be fitted both to rear-brake reels and front-brake reels.

Description

TECHNICAL AREA
The present invention relates to an improvement to reels of a fixed drum reel.

PROBLEM POSED This involves providing a coil with a system capable of making it easier to adjust the filling level of said coil.

TECHNICAL KTAT AND DISADVANTAGES
The first concern of a user of a reel with a fixed spool, with regard to its spool, is that the wire unwinds at the end with the least reformation as possible by friction against the upper edge of said spool.

This is achieved by filling the spool to the brim or, better, up to 2 to 3 millimeters from the edge to avoid excessive swelling of the turns that come out of the spool at the time of launch. This good filling level is unfortunately not stable; in particular it is quickly in deficit at the sinner concerned about the good solidity of its wire and which does not hesitate to eliminate, as of the first signs of premature wear, the meters and mixes the tens of meters of nylon which suffered lé more in fishing action. It is therefore often necessary to increase the level of thickness of nylon wound on the spool. For this we must empty all the thread of the spool and either replace it completely with new nylon, an expensive and tedious solution which consists in throwing away a few hundred meters of wire, or the rewind able to have garnished the bottom of the reel groove with a "backing", a more economical but also tedious solution. There is another drawback in this case, as is the case with reels with reduced capacity offered by some manufacturers: there is a risk of running out of nylon the day a large fish takes wire in large quantities. I1 does not seem, at present, to exist a winding system making it possible to easily and quickly adjust the optimum level of filling while having a good reserve of wire.

The research aims to find a winding system combining the advantages of reduced capacity coils with those of large capacity coils without accumulating the disadvantages.

STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION
The invention is characterized by the fact that the following modifications are made to a bare coil very common in trade: - The upper cheek of the coil is broken down into two concentric elements, the peripheral part being a removable ring. The outer edge of it has an asymmetrical profile.

- The groove of the spool is partitioned by a cylindrical jacket, Removable, so as to form two concentric compartments communicating between
them by a slit, 1 mm wide, which opens the shirt on all s? hau
tor. The shirt is posed before the ring, which, once posed and
fixed, keeps it in its position, leaving it a slight play.

Result: Several operations, which can be combined, allow modi
depend on demand the filling level of the coil
- Depending on whether you mount the battery side or face side, on the spool, the ring
removable whose free edge has an asymmetrical profile, the ratios of said
edge with the wire coming out at the end of the spool will be different.

- By having a set of rings of different outside diameters, we
can change the size of the upper cheek of the spool and so
adapt it to the quantity of wire with content.

-The removable ring can between disassembled the time to set up the chemi
is cylindrical which comes to partition the groove of the coil in two parts
concentric partitions, the deepest of which will serve as a wire reserve
to align the external compartment on demand so that it
is always sufficiently filled.

DESCRIPTION @@ AN EMBODIMENT
The upper cheek of the spool is composed of a peripheral part
or ring (1), removable, which screws onto the central part (2), overhang
bant, without leaning on it, the upper extremity of a cylindrical jacket
(3), also removable, lowered across the groove of the coil.

The upper edge (5) of the shirt (3) carries a collar (6) whose form
me and the dimensions are studied so that its underside, cel
the of the central part (2) of the upper cheek of the coil and that
the free edge (10) of the ring (1) constitute a continuous curved surface,
if one disregards the vertical wall of the shirt, said
surface serving as the upper slope of the reel groove. The edge
Lower of the liner (3) is housed in a circular groove (4)
placed on the lower cheek of the spool.
concentric compartments in the groove of the spool: the compartment
central or deep coil (8) and the external compartment or reduced coil
te (9). The shirt (3) is split along its entire height, the slot (7)
whose edges are foamed so as not to damage the wire, being provided
to seseitre the wire to pass from one to the other coil. The two faces of the ring (1) have the same relief and therefore said ring can be screwed onto the cbtk coil or face side facing the groove of the coil. The free edge (10) of the ring (1), swollen, has an asymmetrical rounded profile. Each time the turns of the wire coming out of the reel rub on the free edge (10) of the ring (1) opposite to that of the winding of the wire on the spool; therefore, to avoid insidious loosening of the ring (1) by dint of launching, the direction of screwing of said ring is provided opposite to that of the winding.

Important note
The device of the invention operates only at the bare coil and remains completely independent of the braking system. The invention therefore relates both to reels with fixed drum with front brake and those with rear brake.

OPERATION
Recall that the object of the invention is to facilitate the restoration of a good filling level of the coil when it has moved away from the free edge of the coil.

- Filling the coil:
- The spool is shown on the reel without being dressed in its two removable parts. the pick-up is folded down (basket handle) of the reel and the wire is wound up by turning the crank until almost filling the deep spool (8)
- The jacket (3) is put in place, taking care to pass the wire through the slot (7) then the ring (1) is screwed on the central part of the spool (2)
- The wire is then wound by milling until almost filling the reduced coil (9)
The puke action can begin.

- Correction of a filling level in deficit
The operation can be done in two ways, which can also be completed: either by acting at the level of the ring (1), or by supplying the reduced coil (9) with wire by taking it from the deep coil ( 8)
- Intervention at the level of the ring (1):
Oubien one turns over said ring to orient the gently sloping slope of its free edge (10) towards the groove of the coil if this was not its previous position
Oubien we replace the ring (1) by another of smaller outside diameter.

In one case as in the other the unscrewing of the ring must be done after having taken out of the reel a quantity of wire lowering the level of this one, on the reel, below the external edge of the collar (6) the shirt (3) so as not to let spirals upwards escape; for that, you just have to make a long throw and complete if necessary the staring by not folding the pick-up of the reel and moving away from a few tens of meters from the starting point of the throw.

When handling the ring (1), the jacket (3) must be kept firmly in place. The ring (1) once screwed, the pick-up is folded down and milled to recover all of the wire that has come out.

- Reduced coil supply by removing wire from the deep coil:
First we practice as before to empty the wire, open pick-up, but this time to expose the shirt (3). We then fold the pickup. we engage the reel non-return, we serve the reel brake and bn out of the deep spool (8) the amount of wire necessary to sufficiently power the reduced spool (9). The operation is carried out by pulling on the thread, the spool releasing its nylon by turning the shirt (3) without causing its rotation, a slight clearance having been provided in the joints of said shirt with the two sides of the throat of the spool. taken from the deep spool, the brake of the reel is applied and the spool is milled to rewind on the reduced reel (9) all the wire which had been taken out during the operation.

- Notes:
- When the brake is released and the non-return ratchet of the reel engaged, we pull thread from the deep spool, this spins but not the jacket (3) because the thread comes out taut in the direction of the pick's guide up (basket handle) and therefore forces the slot (7) which it crosses to remain oriented towards the quide-fil of the pick-up which is a fixed point. The collar (6) exerts slight braking on the ring (1) but in the direction of tightening of the ring which therefore does not risk loosening
- In the case of a reel spool with fixed drum with rear brake, it is not necessary to provide, in the middle of the upper face of the spool, bare, a location for the brake button; consequently there is much more freedom to imagine and realize a method of fixing the ring (1) on the coil. An example is shown in Figure 5. The ring (1) mounted on the central part (2) of the upper cheek of the coil 6 is fixed by a tightening button (11), any means is used to make the ring (1) integral with the coil in its rotations, for example nn blind hole which covers a boss (12)
