DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel subjected to a water-repellent treatment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, among fishing tools indispensable for fishing in rivers, lakes, seas, etc., fishing rods and fishing reels are easily wetted with water or seawater. In addition, the attachment of water droplets due to rain or splashes of water promotes the deterioration of fishing rods and fishing reels, so that waterproof measures are required. In particular, fishing reels are difficult to care for when water penetrates not only to the outer surface of the component members but also to the internal structure, not only promotes deterioration of the component parts, but also causes malfunctions due to rust and salt bite. In order to make it work, it is necessary to take waterproof measures.

As a waterproof measure, there has been proposed a method of performing a water-repellent treatment by forming a water-repellent coating on the surface of a fishing tackle. For example, Japanese Patent No. 2725175 discloses a method for fishing rods and fishing reels. It discloses a fishing tackle having a surface subjected to a water-repellent treatment.

[0004] In the above-mentioned publication, water-repellent treatment is applied only to the outer surface of members of a fishing gear such as a fishing rod, thereby preventing a thread wet with water and dust adsorbed by water droplets from adhering to the outer surface. It is disclosed that rust and corrosion of the outer surface of the member are prevented.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned publication, however, water-repellent treatment is applied only to the surface of each member to provide waterproofing. However, fishing gear having a complicated internal structure such as a fishing reel is not used. In addition, seawater or debris-adsorbed water enters the reel body by sewing the gaps between the components, and salt or debris adheres to the gaps between the components having a structure where water easily accumulates, The problem that the reels malfunction due to rusting between the members remains unresolved.

Further, as disclosed in the above publication, a water-repellent film is formed on a member by dispersing fluorine compound particles or fibers in a polymer matrix, or grease is applied to the member. When the water repellent treatment is performed, the members are connected to each other by a polymer base material and grease, and there is a problem that the reels cannot be operated after all. Therefore, forming a water-repellent coating on a member by dispersing fluorine compound particles or fibers in a polymer base material, or applying grease to perform a water-repellent treatment is similar to a fishing reel. However, it is not suitable for a device having a complicated structure, and even if such a water-repellent treatment is applied to a precise component member inside the reel body, the reel cannot operate.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a water-repellent treatment that prevents water, seawater, and the like from entering the inside of the reel body first, and performs a water-repellent treatment so as not to cause a malfunction even in case of flooding. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel excellent in operation durability and the like.

[0008]

D) and particles (32a, 31b) of a fluorine compound or a silicon compound or a mixture thereof at the portions (31a, 31b) to which the intruded water adheres among the internal components of the reel body.
A fishing reel wherein a) is dispersed and applied in a volatile solvent together with a binder (32b).

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the fluorine compound is graphite fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polytrifluorochloroethylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, ethylene tetrafluoride, ethylene trifluoride. , A fluororesin such as propylene hexafluoride, or vinyl fluoride, wherein the silicon compound is trichloromethylsilane, chlorotrimethylsilane, dichlorodimethylsilane, or a fishing reel, which is a silicon resin. is there.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a fishing reel subjected to a water-repellent treatment according to the present invention will be described.

[0011] The present invention provides a water-repellent agent, a fluorine compound, a silicon compound or a mixture of these particles, which has excellent water repellency, and a binder for adhering the particles to a mechanism, to which seawater or the like easily adheres. And apply it. The applied portion has excellent water repellency because the volatile solvent is volatilized and particles of the fluorine compound, the silicon compound, or a mixture thereof are attached to the surface of the mechanism together with the binder.

Accordingly, it is possible to prevent seawater and the like from adhering to and transmitting on the surface of the mechanism. Even if saltwater and the like remain on the periphery of the mechanism due to seawater and the like remaining thereon, the mechanism adheres to the surface of the mechanism. Can be prevented from getting stuck.

Hereinafter, a water repellent obtained by dispersing particles of a fluorine compound or a silicon compound or a mixture thereof and a binder according to the present invention in a volatile solvent will be described.

First, a fluorine compound, a silicon compound or a mixture thereof will be described.

The fluorine compound particles include, for example, graphite fluoride particles in a polymer or oligomer state, polytetrafluoroethylene, polytrifluorochloroethylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, A fluororesin such as ethylene fluoride, propylene hexafluoride, or vinyl fluoride is used. In this case, since the water repellency improves as the density of fluorine atoms increases, the size of the particles is preferably as small as possible, and fine particles having a particle size of about 0.3 to 4 μm are preferred.

As the silicon compound particles, trichloromethylsilane, chlorotrimethylsilane, dichlorodimethylsilane, fine particles of thermosetting resin to which silicon is added, and the like are used. Also in this case, the size of the particles is preferably as fine as possible, and fine particles having a particle size of about 0.3 to 4 μm are preferred.

The fluorine compound and the silicon compound are both chemically inert and excellent in water repellency, and impart corrosion resistance to the member. However, the fluorine compound is disadvantageous in that it is expensive. When a water-repellent film is formed, its adhesiveness may be low. Therefore, it is preferable to use the compound as a silicon compound or a mixture of a fluorine compound and a silicon compound. Can be improved.

Next, examples of the binder include camphor, paraffin, resin, PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) and the like, as well as a fluororesin derivative or a fluorosurfactant. For example, the above-mentioned fluorine compound particles are mixed and added so that the content of fluorine atoms is several volume%.

Examples of the volatile solvent include xylene, mineral spirit, toluene, butyl acetate, methanol, ethylene glycol, florinate (fluorinated inert liquid), and ligroin. For example, fluorine-containing polymer fine particles having a particle size of about 0.3 to 4 μm and the above-mentioned binder are dissolved or dispersed and used.

Particles of a fluorine compound or a silicon compound or a mixture thereof are applied as a water-repellent agent dispersed in a volatile solvent together with a binder to a predetermined passage on the reel surface where water may enter the inside of the reel body. In addition, water entering the interior is dropped without being transmitted by the water repellent action, and even if it is not dropped, the water can be prevented by the water repellent action.

2. Even if water is immersed inside the reel, particles of a fluorine compound or a silicon compound or a mixture thereof are applied as a water-repellent agent dispersed in a volatile solvent together with a binder to a mechanism portion where water accumulates. It is possible to protect against corrosion due to biting, rust, and the like, and it is possible to improve the operational durability since the members are not bonded by the water repellent.

3. As a water repellent, particles of a fluorine compound, a silicon compound or a mixture thereof are dispersed in a volatile solvent together with a binder, and the dispersion is applied only to a passage through which water enters the reel body and a portion where water accumulates, so that the solvent is volatilized. By doing so, a uniform water-repellent film can be easily formed on the member, and the water-repellent treatment can be efficiently performed on the entire reel.

4. Since the water-repellent material is applied as a water-repellent by dispersing it in a volatile solvent together with a binder, the water-repellent material adheres well even when applied directly to the member, forming a uniform water-repellent film and providing water repellency. Excellent water repellent treatment can be performed.

5. Particles of a fluorine compound or a silicon compound or a mixture thereof, particularly particles of a tetrafluoroethylene resin or a silicon resin or a mixture thereof, used as a water-repellent material, are excellent in aging resistance and abrasion resistance,

Water repellent treatment is applied to the passage through which water, seawater, etc. enter the inside of the reel body, so that unnecessary water repellent treatment can be omitted.
The entire internal structure can be protected from corrosion due to water intrusion, biting by foreign matter, and the like. Further, even in the event that the reel is flooded inside the reel body, the reel can be protected from corrosion of members due to the flooding, biting by foreign matter, and the like by performing the water-repellent treatment only on the portion where the invading water accumulates.

Therefore, unlike the conventional water-repellent treatment, it is not necessary to apply water-repellent treatment to all the members, so that the production efficiency is high. Further, the water-repellent material is applied as a water-repellent by dispersing it in a volatile solvent together with a binder. Therefore, even if it is applied directly to a member, the water-repellent material has good adhesion, and a uniform water-repellent film can be formed to perform a water-repellent treatment excellent in water repellency. Furthermore, since particles of a fluorine compound or a silicon compound or a mixture thereof are used as a water-repellent material, by dispersing these in a volatile solvent together with a binder and applying them, the aging resistance and the abrasion resistance are excellent. In addition, it is possible to efficiently manufacture and provide a fishing reel excellent in water resistance, operation durability, and the like by eliminating unnecessary coupling between members by the water-repellent coating.
