Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize a reel and simplify the construction in a mechanism that emits sound when a start drag is operated. SOLUTION: In a sound-emission mechanism 34 for a double bearing reel, the sound is emitted by the relative rotation between a handle shaft 30 that is rotatably mounted to the reel body 1 and a start drag 3 that is mounted to the handle shaft 30 so that it may be freely rotatable relatively to the handle shaft. This mechanism 34 is equipped with a guide hole 30d and a sound-emitting pin 37, a concaved and convexed part 36b and a coil spring 38. The guide hole 30d is formed on the handle shaft 30 so that it may open on the outer peripheral face along the radial direction of the handle shaft 30. The sound-emitting pin 37 is reciprocally set to the guide hole 30d. The concaved and convexed part 36b is formed along the peripheral direction on the inner peripheral face of the start drag 3 facing to an opening. The coil spring 38 is contained in the guide hole 30d to energize the sound-emitting pin 37 to the concaved and convexed part 36b.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sound generating mechanism,
The present invention relates to a dual-bearing reel sounding mechanism that emits sound by the relative rotation of a handle shaft rotatably mounted on a reel body and a drag operation member relatively rotatably mounted on the handle shaft, and a dual-bearing reel equipped with the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a dual-bearing reel includes a handle,
A reel body on which the spool is rotatably supported, a spool rotation handle arranged on the side of the reel body,
A star drag for drag adjustment arranged on the reel body side of the handle. The crank arm of the handle is fixed to the tip of the handle shaft with a nut,
A retainer for stopping the nut from rotating is screwed to the outer surface of the crank arm. The star drag is screwed to the handle shaft, and by turning the star drag, the degree of adhesion of a drag plate provided inside the reel body can be adjusted to adjust the drag force.

In this type of dual-bearing reel, in order to improve the operational feeling and operability when operating the star drag, a sound generating mechanism for generating a sound when the star drag is operated is provided between the star drag and the handle arm. Are conventionally known. A conventional sound generating mechanism includes a sound output pin housed in a retainer mounted on a handle, a sound output member non-rotatably mounted on a star drag, and a coil spring for urging the sound output pin toward the sound output member. Have. The sound output pin has a head and a shaft portion smaller in diameter than the head, and is arranged along the handle axis with the head facing the sound output member. The sounding pin penetrates through the through hole provided in the crank arm and is housed over the through hole and the retainer. A large number of sound output holes are formed in the sound output member at positions facing the sound output pins at intervals in the circumferential direction. The sounding member is mounted on the star drag movably in the axial direction, and is urged toward the crank arm by an urging member. The coil spring is arranged outside the sounding pin, and has one end in contact with the head of the sounding pin.

In this sound generating mechanism, when the star drag is operated and rotated relative to the handle, the star drag moves in the axial direction because it is screwed into the handle shaft.
However, since the sounding member is urged toward the crank arm, the distance between the sounding member and the crank arm is maintained constant, and the sounding pin urged toward the sounding member is inserted into the sounding hole. Repeatedly pronounce the collision.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned conventional configuration,
Since the sound output pin is stored over the retainer and the crank arm, the thickness of the retainer is increased, and the axial dimension of the reel is increased. In addition to providing a sound output member separately from the star drag that moves in the handle axis direction,
Since an urging member for urging the sounding member toward the crank arm must be provided, the number of parts of the sound generating mechanism increases and the configuration becomes complicated. Further, since the sound generating mechanism is arranged outside the handle shaft, the radial size of the star drag increases, and the size of the reel increases.

There is also a dual-bearing reel in which a plurality of mounting holes are provided in a crank arm to change a handle length from a handle shaft to a handle handle. In such a dual bearing reel, when changing the handle length, the user removes the retainer and the nut, removes the crank arm from the handle shaft, and attaches the crank arm to the handle shaft again with another mounting hole. In such a case where the handle length is changed, when the retainer is removed, the sound output pin is urged by the coil spring and jumps out, and the sound generating mechanism may be disassembled and parts may be lost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to reduce the size of a reel and simplify the structure of a mechanism that emits sound when a star drag is operated. Another object of the present invention is to provide a dual-bearing reel having a variable handle length so that the sound generating mechanism is not disassembled when the handle length is changed.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sound generating mechanism for a dual-bearing reel, wherein a handle shaft rotatably mounted on a reel body and a drag operation member rotatably mounted on the handle shaft are relatively rotated. Is a mechanism that is pronounced by
A guide portion, a sounding pin, an uneven portion, and an urging member are provided. The guide portion is formed on the handle shaft so as to open on the outer peripheral surface along a direction intersecting the axial direction of the handle shaft. The sound output pin is mounted on the guide portion so as to be able to advance and retreat. The uneven portion is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the drag operation member facing the opening along the circumferential direction. The biasing member is
The sound output pin is housed in the guide portion and urges the sound output pin toward the uneven portion side.

In this sound generating mechanism, when the drag operation member is rotated with respect to the handle shaft, the uneven portion also rotates. Then, the sounding pin urged by the urging member repeatedly collides with the concave and convex portions to generate sound. Since the uneven portion is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the drag operation member, it is not necessary to separately provide a component for generating sound having unevenness or separately provide an urging member. Further, since the sound output pin is housed in the guide portion which is opened on the outer peripheral surface formed on the handle shaft, the size of the reel in the axial and radial directions does not increase. For this reason, the size of the reel can be reduced, and the configuration of the sound generating mechanism can be simplified.

The sound generating mechanism of the dual bearing reel according to the second aspect of the invention
In the mechanism according to the first aspect, a male screw portion is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the handle shaft facing the drag operation member,
The drag operation member has a nut portion having a female screw portion screwed into the male screw portion, and the uneven portion is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the nut portion of the drag operation member so as to be axially aligned with the female screw portion. . In this case, since the uneven portion and the nut portion are provided side by side, the configuration is simplified even when the drag operation member is screwed onto the handle shaft.

The sound generating mechanism of the dual-bearing reel according to the third aspect of the present invention includes:
In the mechanism according to the first or second aspect, the sounding pin has a hemispherical head portion and a shaft portion having a smaller diameter than the head portion.
In this case, the sound output pin can be easily biased toward the concave / convex portion by locking the distal end of the biasing member to the step between the shaft portion and the head.

[0012] The sound generating mechanism of the dual bearing reel according to the fourth aspect of the present invention includes:
In the mechanism according to the third aspect, the biasing member is a coil spring disposed on the outer peripheral side of the shaft portion. In this case, since the urging member can be arranged on the outer periphery of the shaft portion, the configuration of the sound generating mechanism becomes compact. A sound generating mechanism for a dual-bearing reel according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the third or fourth aspect, wherein the head includes:
A locking recess is formed, and a locking hole is formed in the handle shaft along the axial direction from the distal end surface toward the guide portion. In this case, if the rod-shaped member is inserted from the locking hole and its tip is locked in the locking recess, the sounding pin can be locked at a predetermined position against the urging force of the urging member. For this reason, the operation of mounting the drag operation member on the handle shaft during assembly is facilitated.

The sound generating mechanism of the dual-bearing reel according to the sixth aspect of the present invention includes:
In the mechanism according to the fifth aspect, the head has a hemispherical tip portion, and a locking portion having a diameter larger than the tip portion and capable of locking the urging member. It is an annular groove formed in the portion. In this case, since the head has a small diameter, the sounding interval can be shortened. Moreover, since the locking recess is an annular groove, the sounding pin can be reliably locked even if the sounding pin rotates around the axis during assembly.

A dual-bearing reel according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is a dual-bearing reel mounted on a fishing rod and configured to wind a fishing line around an axis intersecting a longitudinal direction of the fishing rod, comprising a reel body, a handle shaft, and a handle assembly. , A spool, a rotation transmission mechanism, a drag mechanism, a drag operation member, and a sound generation mechanism. The reel body is mounted on a fishing rod. The handle shaft is a shaft rotatably supported by the reel body and having one end protruding outward. The handle assembly has a distal end extending radially outward of the handle shaft, a crank arm detachably fixed to the handle shaft so that the radial length can be changed, a rotation support portion attached to the distal end of the crank arm, And a handle grip mounted on the rotation support portion. The spool is
It is rotatably mounted on the reel body. The rotation transmission mechanism is a mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the handle assembly to the spool. The drag mechanism is provided in the rotation transmission mechanism,
This is a mechanism for braking the rotation of the spool in the line payout direction. The drag operation member is a member mounted on the handle shaft for operating the drag mechanism. 7. The mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the sound generating mechanism is provided between the handle shaft and the drag operation member.

In this dual-bearing reel, when the drag operation member is relatively rotated with respect to the handle shaft, the uneven portion also rotates. Then, the sounding pin urged by the urging member repeatedly collides with the concave and convex portions to generate sound. Since the uneven portion is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the drag operation member, it is not necessary to separately provide a component for generating sound having unevenness or separately provide an urging member. Further, since the sound output pin is housed in the guide portion which is opened on the outer peripheral surface formed on the handle shaft, the size of the reel in the axial and radial directions does not increase. For this reason, the size of the reel can be reduced, and the configuration of the sound generating mechanism can be simplified. Moreover, since the sound generating mechanism is provided to be scattered between the drag operation member and the handle shaft, the sound generating mechanism is not disassembled even if the crank arm is removed from the handle shaft. For this reason, even if the handle length is adjusted, there is no risk of losing parts of the sound generating mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIG. 1, a dual-bearing reel adopting an embodiment of the present invention is, for example, a medium-sized round reel capable of winding No. 5 fishing line by about 300 m. The round reel includes a reel body 1, a spool rotating handle assembly 2 disposed on the side of the reel body 1,
A star drag 3 disposed on the reel body 1 side of the handle assembly 2. In addition, this dual bearing reel
It does not have a level wind mechanism.

A spool 15 is rotatably mounted on the reel body 1. The reel body 1 can be mounted on a fishing rod RD via a rod mounting leg 4. The reel body 1 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, a frame 5 having a pair of left and right side plates 10, 11 arranged at a predetermined interval and a plurality of support members 12 connecting the side plates 10, 11 is mounted on both sides of the frame 5. A first cover 13 and a second cover 14,
And a mechanism mounting plate 16 mounted on the second cover 14. The mechanism mounting plate 16 is arranged in contact with the side plate 11,
A space is formed between the mechanism mounting plate 16 and the second cover 14 for accommodating various mechanisms described below.

The frame 5 is obtained by die casting, and the second side cover 14 is obtained by pressing a thin metal plate. The pair of side plates 10 and 11 and the first cover 13
Each has a circular shape when viewed from the side, and the outer peripheral surface is machined using, for example, a lathe. Second cover 1
As shown in FIG. 2, the part 4 and the mechanism mounting plate 15 have a shape in which a part of a circular shape as viewed from a side surface protrudes in a radial direction. The second side cover 14 also protrudes outward in the axial direction around a mounting portion of a handle shaft 30 (described later).

The support member 12 is a plate-like member formed along the outer peripheries of the both side plates 10 and 11 and integrally formed with the both side plates 10 and 11. A pair of side plates 10 and 11 are connected at several places.
By integrally forming the side plates 10 and 11 and the plurality of support members 12 in this manner, even if a large load is applied to the reel body 1, deformation such as bending does not easily occur, and a reduction in winding efficiency is suppressed. . The outer peripheral portion of the support member 12 is also attached to the side plates 10, 1
It is machined integrally with the first and first covers 13.

The rod mounting leg 4 is fixed to the lower support member 12. The rod mounting legs 4 are connected to the side plates 10 and 1 of the frame 5.
They are arranged along the center position between them. This center position is also the center position of the yarn winding section of the spool 15. The rear support member 12 is provided with a thumbrest 17 made of synthetic resin for holding the reel together with the fishing rod.

The thumb rest 17 is formed so as to be in contact with the upper part and the rear part of the support member 12, and the rear part has the side plates 10,
11 protrudes radially outward, that is, rearward. The rear portion of the upper surface of the thumb rest 17 is inclined while projecting downward. Further, the left end and the right end of the rear portion of the upper surface of the thumbrest 17 gradually decrease as the amount of rearward projection increases toward the left.

A thumb rest 17 having such a shape is provided.
For example, by placing the thumb of the left hand on the thumb rest 17 and grasping the fishing rod RD with another finger and holding the reel together with the fishing rod RD, the fishing rod RD can be securely held together with the reel during vertical jigging or the like. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the handle assembly 2 includes a crank arm 6 that is non-rotatably mounted on a distal end of a handle shaft 30, and a crank arm 6.
At one end thereof, a handle handle 7 rotatably mounted around an axis orthogonal to one end of the crank arm 6, and a rotation support portion 8 for rotatably mounting the handle handle 7 to the crank arm 6. I have.

At the tip of the handle shaft 30, a first male screw portion 30a and a chamfered portion 30b are formed from the first male screw portion 30a to the base end side. Also, the first male screw portion 3
A second male screw portion 30c having a larger diameter is formed adjacent to Oa. In the handle assembly 2, a portion where the handle shaft 30 is mounted on the crank arm 6 is separated from the reel body 1 from a portion where the rotation support portion 8 is mounted. That is, the rotation plane of the base end of the handle handle 7 is closer to the reel unit 1 side than the rotation plane of the fixed portion of the crank arm 6 to the handle shaft 30.

The crank arm 6 is a flat metal member extending in the radial direction of the handle shaft 30. The crank arm 6 is non-rotatably mounted on the handle shaft 30. At the base end of the crank arm 6, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, two mounting holes 6d are arranged in the radial direction. The crank arm 6 is non-rotatably locked to the chamfered portion 30b of the handle shaft 30 by one of the two mounting holes 6d, and is attached to and detached from the handle shaft 30 by a fixing nut 41 screwed into the first male screw portion 30a. It is freely fixed. The fixing nut 41 is prevented from rotating by a retainer 42 screwed to the crank arm 6. Therefore, the handle assembly 2 is capable of adjusting the handle length (the distance from the handle shaft 30 to the handle handle 7) in two stages, long and short.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the star drag 3 is a member for screwing with the second male screw portion 30c and moving in the axial direction of the handle shaft 30 to adjust the drag force. The star drag 3 includes a plurality of radial arm portions 35a.
And an operation part 35 made of a metal such as an aluminum alloy, for example, and a metal nut part 36 made of a brass (brass) or the like which is non-rotatably attached to the operation part 35. The inner peripheral surface of the nut portion 36 includes a second male screw portion 30.
A female screw portion 36a to be screwed with c is formed. A sound generating mechanism 34 is provided between the nut 36 and the handle shaft 30. Note that at least a joint surface of the joint portion between the operation unit 35 and the nut unit 36 is plated. This prevents the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion at the joint.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sound generating mechanism 34 is formed in a second male screw portion of the handle shaft 30 and is open to the outer peripheral surface of the handle shaft 30. The sound output pin 37 mounted on the inner surface of the nut portion 36, the uneven portion 36b formed on the inner peripheral surface of the nut portion 36, and the coil spring 38 housed in the guide hole 30d and biasing the sound output pin 37 toward the uneven portion 36b. Have.

The guide hole 30d is formed in the handle shaft 30 so as to open along the radial direction intersecting the axial direction of the handle shaft 30 on the outer peripheral surface where the second male screw portion 30c is formed.

The concave / convex portion 36b is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the nut portion 36 so as to be arranged in the axial direction with the female screw portion 36a. The axial length of the concave-convex portion 36b is formed such that it can always contact the tip of the sound output pin 37 even when the star drag 3 moves in the axial direction by drag adjustment. The concavo-convex portion 36b has a shape in which a large number of arcs are formed along the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface having a larger diameter than the female screw portion 36a.

The sound output pin 37 has a hemispherical head 3.
7a and a shaft portion 37b smaller in diameter than the head. The head 37a has a hemispherical tip portion 37c and a columnar locking portion 37d having a diameter larger than that of the tip portion 37c and capable of locking the tip of the coil spring 38. An annular groove 37e is formed in the axial center of the locking portion 37d. Handle axis 3
At 0, a jig insertion hole 30e is formed from the distal end surface of the handle shaft 30 toward the guide hole 30d. As shown in FIG. 4, by inserting a bar-shaped locking tool 39 into the jig insertion hole 30e and locking the tip end in the annular groove 37e, the sound output pin 37 is pressed against the urging force of the coil spring 38. Can be maintained in a state where the head 37a is retracted into the guide hole 30d. This makes it easier to assemble the star drag 3 on the handle shaft 30. Further, since the tip 37c of the head 37a has a small diameter,
The interval between the concave and convex portions of the concave and convex portion 36b can be reduced, and the interval between generated click sounds becomes shorter.

The coil spring 38 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the shaft portion 37b, and its tip contacts the step between the locking portion 37d and the shaft portion 37b, and its base end contacts the bottom of the guide hole 30d. Usually, it is mounted in a compressed state in the guide hole 30d. Thus, the sound output pin 37 is constantly biased toward the concave / convex portion 36b. Here, since the uneven portion 36b is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the star drag 3, it is not necessary to separately provide a component for generating sound or a separate member for urging the member. Further, since the sound output pin 37 is housed in the guide hole 30d formed in the handle shaft 30, the size of the reel in the axial and radial directions does not increase. For this reason, the size of the reel can be reduced, and the configuration of the sound generating mechanism can be simplified.

The spool 15 is rotatably arranged between the pair of side plates 10 and 11, as shown in FIG. The spool 15 has a bobbin trunk 15a and flanges 15b integrally formed at both ends of the bobbin trunk 15a.
A spool shaft 25 passes through and is fixed to the center of the spool 15. The spool shaft 25 is rotatably supported by the first cover 13 and the mechanism mounting plate 16 via bearings 26a and 26b.

In the space between the mechanism mounting plate 16 and the second cover 14, torque from the handle assembly 2 is supplied to the spool 15.
Transmission mechanism 20 for transmitting to the
A clutch mechanism 21 provided in the
And a clutch operation mechanism 22 for turning on and off the clutch. The rotation transmission mechanism 20 includes a rotation control mechanism 23 for regulating torque when torque is reversely transmitted from the spool 15 to the handle assembly 2 side.
A centrifugal brake mechanism 2 for braking the spool 15 that freely rotates in the line payout direction is provided at the center of the side plate 11.
4 are arranged. The first cover 13 outside the side plate 10
Inside, a sound generating mechanism for generating sound when the spool 15 rotates, a lock mechanism for completely locking the spool 15 when the spool 15 gets stuck, etc. to facilitate thread breakage, and the like are arranged.

The rotation transmission mechanism 20 includes a handle shaft 30 having one end to which the handle assembly 2 is fixed, a main gear 31 connected to the other end of the handle shaft 30 via a rotation control mechanism 23, and a main gear 31. And a pinion gear 32 that meshes. The handle shaft 30 is disposed in parallel with the spool shaft 25, and one end is rotatably supported by the mechanism mounting plate 16. The main gear 31 is a handle shaft 3
0 can be connected to one end side via a rotation control mechanism 23 so as not to rotate relatively. In such a configuration, when the clutch mechanism 21 is turned on, the handle assembly 2
Is transmitted directly to the spool 15.

The clutch mechanism 21 includes a cylindrical pinion gear 3 slidably mounted on an outer peripheral portion of a spool shaft 25.
2 and an engaging groove 32 arranged in a part of the pinion gear 32
a and a pin 33 arranged on the spool shaft 25. When the pinion gear 32 is slid along the spool shaft 25 to engage the engagement groove 32 a with the pin 33, rotational force is transmitted between the spool shaft 25 and the pinion gear 32. This state is a connection state (clutch-on state).
If the engagement between the engagement groove 32a and the pin 33 is released, the spool shaft 2
No rotational force is transmitted between the pinion gear 5 and the pinion gear 32.
This state is a disconnection state (clutch off state). In the clutch off state, the spool 15 rotates freely. The pinion gear 32 is urged by the clutch operating mechanism 22 in a direction in which the engagement groove 32a and the pin 33 are engaged, that is, in a clutch-on state.

The rotation control mechanism 23 rotates the handle shaft 30 only in the yarn winding direction (prohibits the rotation in the yarn unwinding direction) and a roller type one-way clutch mechanism 55, and controls the rotation of the spool 15 in the yarn unwinding direction. A drag mechanism 57 for applying a set drag force and a ratchet mechanism 59 of a claw type for rotating the handle shaft 30 only in the line winding direction are provided. The drag force of the drag mechanism 57 is adjusted by the star drag 3. Drag mechanism 57
Has a plurality of friction disks arranged between the star drag 3 and the main gear 31.

If only the reverse rotation (rotation in the line pay-out direction) of the handle shaft 30 is to be prohibited, only the ratchet mechanism 59 may be provided and the one-way clutch mechanism 55 may be omitted. However, the ratchet mechanism 59 requires a certain amount of time for the operation of the ratchet pawl engaging and disengaging from the ratchet wheel. The roller-type one-way clutch mechanism 55 described above is preferable in order to achieve the quick and smooth reverse rotation inhibiting operation required for the fishing operation. The ratchet mechanism 59 applies an excessive force that the one-way clutch mechanism 55 cannot bear. It is effective to bear. The clutch operating mechanism 22 includes a clutch lever 40 mounted on the second cover 14 of the reel body 1 so as to be swingable between a connected position and a disconnected position.

Next, the operation of the fishing reel during use will be described. Adjust the drag force before fishing. When adjusting the drag force, a weight or spring scale having the same weight as the target fish is connected to the tip of the fishing line, and the spring scale or the weight is pulled so that a desired drag force is generated. The drag 3 is rotated. When the star drag 3 is rotated, the star drag 3 moves in the axial direction of the handle shaft 30 by screwing with the handle shaft 30, and the drag force for pressing the main gear 31 via the friction disk of the drag mechanism 57 changes. . When the star drag 3 is rotated, the uneven portion 36b and the handle shaft 30 rotate relative to each other, so that the sound output pin 37 repeatedly collides with the uneven portion 36b to generate a click sound.

When the fishing line is paid out, the clutch mechanism 21 is brought into the clutch off state by the clutch lever 40. As a result, the spool 15 enters a free rotation state, and the spool 15 rotates in the line payout direction due to the weight of the jig (device), and the fishing line is paid out from the spool 15.
When the jig reaches the seabed, the handle assembly 2 is rotated in the line winding direction to start vertical jigging. When the handle assembly 2 is rotated in the line winding direction, the clutch is turned on by a clutch return mechanism (not shown).

When performing vertical jigging, for example, the rear end (not shown) of the fishing rod RD is sandwiched between the left side
Place the thumb of the left hand on the thumb rest 17 fixed to the rear part of the reel body 1, hold the fishing rod with the remaining fingers, hold the reel and the fishing rod RD, and, while sucking the fishing rod RD with the left hand, handle the handle assembly 2 with the right hand. The operation of pinching the handle 7 and rotating the handle shaft 30 at high speed is repeated. When the handle assembly 2 is rotated in the yarn winding direction, the handle assembly 2
Rotation of the one-way clutch mechanism 5 from the handle shaft 30
5, transmitted to the main gear 31 via the drag mechanism 57 as it is. At this time, since the clutch mechanism 21 is in the ON state, the rotation of the main gear 31 is transmitted from the pinion gear 32 to the spool 15, and the fishing line is wound up. At this time, the one-way clutch mechanism 55 and the ratchet mechanism 59 allow the rotation because the rotation is in the line winding direction.

When the fishing line is paid out by pulling a fish or the like, the rotation of the spool 15 is transmitted to the main gear 31.
The power is transmitted to the handle shaft 30 and the one-way clutch mechanism 5 via the drag mechanism 57. One-way clutch mechanism 5
In 5, the reverse rotation of the handle shaft 30 is prohibited. If the fish is weakly pulled, the spool 15 does not rotate and the fishing line is not pulled out. And the fish pull becomes strong and the spool 15
When the rotational force of the drag mechanism 57 increases, the transmitted rotational force exceeds the set rotational resistance of the drag mechanism 57. Then, since the drag mechanism 57 slides, the spool 15 side including the main gear 31 starts rotating. At this time, a constant resistance, that is, a drag force always acts on the spool 15 from the drag mechanism 57.

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, the sound output pin is composed of the head and the shaft, but may be composed of only the head. in this case,
The head may be composed only of a spherical ball. (B) In the above-described embodiment, the operation section 35 and the nut section are configured separately, but the operation section 35 and the nut section 36 may be integrally formed of metal or resin. However, when it is desired to make a crisp click sound, the nut portion 36 is preferably made of metal.

[0042]

According to the present invention, since the concave and convex portions are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the drag operation member, it is not necessary to separately provide a component for generating sound having irregularities or separately provide an urging member. . Further, since the sound output pin is housed in the guide portion which is opened on the outer peripheral surface formed on the handle shaft, the size of the reel in the axial and radial directions does not increase. For this reason, the size of the reel can be reduced, and the configuration of the sound generating mechanism can be simplified.

In the dual-bearing reel in which the handle length can be adjusted, when changing the handle length, the sound generating mechanism is not disassembled, and there is no risk of losing parts of the sound generating mechanism.
