Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a reel body, and more particularly to a dual-bearing reel body mounted on a fishing rod and winding a fishing line around an axis intersecting the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A dual-bearing reel generally includes a reel body mounted on a fishing rod, a spool rotatably supported in the reel body, and a handle mounted on one side of the reel body for rotating the spool. A rotation transmission mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the handle to the spool. The reel body has a reel frame having a pair of left and right side plates and a connecting member for connecting the side plates, and a pair of left and right side covers covering both sides of the reel frame. In a space between the side cover and the side plate on which the handle is mounted, a mechanism such as a rotation transmission mechanism for transmitting rotation of the handle to the spool is housed. The rotation transmission mechanism has a main gear mounted on the handle shaft, and a pinion gear mounted on the spool shaft and meshing with the main gear.

[0003] As this type of dual-bearing reel, there is known a metal round reel in which the side of the reel body is circular. For round reels, the side cover and reel frame are
Usually, it is manufactured by a die casting method or a forging method. Further, the pair of side plates and the side cover are circular in side view, and the outer peripheral surface of the reel body is machined by a lathe, so that the appearance is high in decorativeness and a sense of quality can be obtained.

[0004] On the other hand, in a dual-bearing reel, a fishing method of performing a hiking operation of a fishing rod while performing high-speed winding called jigging has been performed. The gear ratio of the rotation transmission mechanism (the gear ratio between the main gear and the pinion gear) has been increased in response to such high-speed winding. Until then, the gear ratio was about 4: 1, but recently, the gear ratio is about 6: 1. As the gear ratio increases, the diameter of the main gear increases. For this reason, in the case of a round reel, in order to store the main gear in a circular reel body, the outer diameter of the reel body becomes considerably larger than the outer diameter of the spool, and the reel body becomes larger.

Therefore, in a round reel having a large gear ratio,
The main gear is housed by projecting the handle mounting side of the reel body outward in the radial direction, so that the outer diameter of the reel body does not become much larger than the outer diameter of the spool, thereby reducing the size of the reel body. In such a miniaturized round reel, only the side cover is projected radially outward to increase the number of machined portions on the outer peripheral surface, and the side plate remains circular. Further, another cover member made of, for example, metal or synthetic resin, which covers the back side of the protruding portion of the side cover from the circular shape, is attached to the circular side plate by fixing means such as screws.

[0006]

In the above-mentioned conventional reel body having a protruding portion, a cover member is mounted on a circular side plate to cover the back side of the side cover, thereby constituting a reel body having a protruding portion as a whole. Therefore, the configuration of the reel body becomes complicated. Moreover, since the cover member is attached to the side plate by fixing means such as screws, it is difficult to maintain the strength of the reel body at a high level.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to make it possible to reduce the size of a reel body of a dual-bearing reel having a large gear ratio with a simple structure and to maintain a high strength.

[0008]

The reel body of the dual bearing reel according to the first aspect of the present invention is a spool mounted on a fishing rod and rotated about an axis intersecting the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod by rotation of a handle mounted on one side. A reel body of a dual-bearing reel for winding a fishing line, comprising a reel frame and a side cover. The reel frame includes a pair of side plates arranged at intervals in a direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction, a plurality of connecting members for connecting the both side plates, and a rod mounting portion provided on the connecting member for mounting on a fishing rod. And a part or all of the outer peripheral surface including one side plate is cut so as to be a non-circumferential surface, and the remaining outer peripheral surface is cut so as to be a circumferential surface. The pair of side covers are side covers that respectively cover the outside of the pair of side plates.

In this dual-bearing reel, the outer peripheral surface of at least a part of the side plate on one side of the reel frame is cut so as to be a non-circumferential surface. The main gear can be stored between the side plate on the handle mounting side and the side cover without making the outer diameter much larger than the diameter. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a cover member, and the reel body having a large gear ratio can be reduced in size with a simple configuration and can maintain high strength. In addition, if the entire outer peripheral surface of the reel frame is cut so as to be a non-circular surface, an unprecedented new design can be obtained, and the sense of quality can be further increased.

The reel body of the dual bearing reel according to the second aspect of the present invention is the same as the reel body according to the first aspect, except that the outer peripheral surface of at least a part of the one side plate is turned so as to be a non-circumferential surface, and the remaining part is formed. It is turned so that the outer peripheral surface becomes a circumferential surface. In this case, since only the outer peripheral surface of the side plate on the handle mounting side is turned to be a non-circular surface,
Processing costs are reduced.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the dual-bearing reel according to the first aspect, wherein at least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the one side plate and the outer peripheral surface of the rod mounting portion of the connecting member are non-circular surfaces. The turning is performed so that the remaining outer peripheral surface becomes a circumferential surface. In this case, since the machining cost is reduced and the forming portion of the rod attachment portion of the connecting member is turned so as to have a non-circumferential surface, the rod mounting portion can be formed integrally with the connecting member. it can. Therefore, even in the case of a metal reel body, the fishing rod can be brought closer to the axis of the spool, and a low profile can be realized, so that a reel body that is easy to perform palming can be realized.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a reel unit for a dual bearing reel according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the rotation of the handle is spooled between one side plate and a side cover covering the outside. A rotation transmission mechanism for transmission is mounted. In this case, even if a rotation transmission mechanism having a high gear ratio is housed, the size of the reel body can be reduced. The reel body of the dual-bearing reel according to the fifth aspect is the same as that of the first to fourth aspects.
Wherein at least one of the reel frame and the pair of side covers is made of metal. In this case, since at least one of the reel frame and the pair of side covers is made of metal, a high-grade appearance is obtained, and the weight and strength are increased.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the dual-bearing reel body according to the fifth aspect, wherein the reel frame is obtained by die-casting an aluminum alloy. In this case, the shape can be easily obtained even if the outer peripheral surface is a complicated non-circumferential surface. The reel body of the dual-bearing reel according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the reel body according to the fifth aspect, wherein the reel frame is obtained by forging an aluminum alloy. In this case, the strength is increased by forging, and the shape is easily obtained even if the outer peripheral surface is a non-circular surface.

According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in the dual-bearing reel according to any one of the fifth to seventh aspects, the side cover is obtained by press-molding an aluminum alloy. In this case, the thickness of the side cover can be reduced, the weight of the side cover can be reduced, and the shape of the side cover in which the outer peripheral surface is a non-circular surface can be easily obtained. A reel body of a dual-bearing reel according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is the reel body according to any one of the first to eighth aspects, wherein the side plate having the non-circular outer peripheral surface has a circular portion and a radially outward portion from the circular portion. It has a projecting protruding portion, and both portions have a shape that does not have an overhang that continues smoothly. In this case, since both parts are smoothly continuous and have no overhang, the side plate whose outer peripheral surface becomes a non-circular surface can be easily formed by turning the tool to move back and forth in synchronization with the rotation of the work. Can be obtained.

The reel frame 5 is obtained by forging an aluminum alloy. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the reel frame 5 has a pair of left and right side plates 10 and 11 having a spool 15 interposed therebetween and arranged at a predetermined interval in the axial direction of the spool 15. And a plurality of connecting members 12 for connecting the connecting members 10 and 11.

The side plate 10 is a ring-shaped member in which an eccentric hole 10a in which a spool 15 is slightly eccentrically arranged at the center is formed.

The protruding portion 11b is provided for accommodating a rotation transmission mechanism to be described later, and has an outer peripheral surface formed of a smooth convex surface having no overhang so as to be easily turned. The peripheral edge of the side plate 11 is edged so as to protrude outward in the axial direction, and four bosses 11c are formed on the outer peripheral side of the edged edge at intervals in the peripheral direction. A screw hole 11d is formed at the tip of the boss 11c.

A bearing housing 16a is formed at a position slightly eccentric above the center of the circular portion 11a of the side plate 11 so as to protrude inward.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the outer peripheral surface of the side plate 11 has a circumferential surface 11e and a non-circular surface 11f located axially outward of the circumferential surface 11e. Both the circumferential surface 11e and the non-circumferential surface 11f are surfaces that have been turned, and the non-circumferential surface 11f is located on the outer peripheral side of the circular portion 11a and the protruding portion 11b. The portion of the non-circumferential surface 11f to which the second side cover 14 is attached is machined so that the outer diameter is one step smaller than the other portions.

The connecting member 12 connects the pair of side plates 10 and 11 at three places, for example, a rear portion, a lower portion, and an upper portion of the reel body 1. By integrally forming the side plates 10 and 11 and the plurality of connecting 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 connecting member 12 is also turned integrally with the side plates 10 and 11 and the first side cover 13 to form a circumferential surface.

The rod mounting leg 4 is fixed to the lower connecting member 12. The rod mounting leg 4 is a side plate 1 of the reel frame 5.
It is arranged along a center position C between 0 and 11. This center position C is also the center position of the spool portion of the spool 15. On the rear connecting member 12, a thumb rest 17 made of synthetic resin for holding the reel together with the fishing rod is mounted.

The thumb rest 17 is formed so as to be in contact with the upper portion and the rear portion of the connecting member 12, and the rear portion 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.

The first side cover 13 is a dish-shaped member,
For example, it is obtained by die-casting an aluminum alloy. A bearing housing 13a is formed to protrude inward at a position slightly eccentric above the center of the first side cover 13. A bearing 26a for rotatably supporting the spool shaft 25 of the spool 15 is provided in the bearing housing 13a.
(FIG. 2) is stored. Four stepped screw holes 13b penetrating inside and outside are formed in a peripheral portion of the inner side surface of the cylindrical first side cover 13 at a position facing the screw hole 10b. The first side cover 13 is fastened to the reel frame 5 by four mounting screws 35 inserted from the stepped screw holes 13b and screwed into the screw holes 10b.

The second side cover 14 is a member obtained by press-forming a thin metal plate such as an aluminum alloy, and has a circular portion 14a having substantially the same diameter as the side plate 11 when viewed from the side.
And a bulging portion 14b bulging radially outward from the circular portion 14a. The bulging portion 14b is formed in a drum shape when viewed from the side, and accommodates a rotation transmission mechanism described later therein. The bulging portion 14b bulges outward in the axial direction around a mounting portion of the handle shaft 30 (described later). Four screw holes 14c penetrating therethrough are formed in the peripheral portion of the circular portion 14a of the second side cover 14. The screw hole 14c is provided in the side plate 1
It is formed at a position facing one boss 11c. The bulging portion 14b is formed with a handle hole 14d through which the handle shaft 30 passes, and a spool shaft hole 14e through which a spool shaft 25 (described later) passes. Further, the bulging portion 14b

It is fastened to the reel frame 5 by four mounting screws 37 screwed into f.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the handle assembly 2 has a crank arm 6 that is non-rotatably mounted at the tip of a handle shaft 30, and one end of the crank arm 6 that is orthogonal to one end of the crank arm 6. And a handle 7 rotatably mounted about a first axis. In the handle assembly 2, the rotation plane of the base end of the handle handle 7 is closer to the reel body 1 than the rotation plane of the fixed portion of the crank arm 6 to the handle shaft 30. As a result, the distance between the handle 7 and the fishing rod R becomes shorter than before, and the torque in the direction in which the fishing rod R is turned when the handle 7 is turned to wind up the fishing line is reduced, thereby reducing the handle winding efficiency. It can be suppressed effectively.

The spool 15 is rotatably disposed between the pair of side plates 10 and 11, as shown in FIG. A spool shaft 25 passes through and is fixed to the center of the spool 15. The spool shaft 25 includes the first side cover 13 and the side plate 1.
1 is rotatably supported via bearings 26a and 26b. The outer diameter of the spool 15 is in the range of 60% to 90% of the outer diameter of the side plate 10 of the reel body 1, and the outer diameter of the spool 15 is larger than the outer diameter of the reel body 1 compared to the related art. The size of the reel body 1 is reduced.

A rotation transmission mechanism 20 for transmitting torque from the handle assembly 2 to the spool 15 and a clutch mechanism 21 provided in the rotation transmission mechanism 20 are provided in a space between the side plate 11 and the second side cover 14. And a clutch operation mechanism 22 for operating the clutch mechanism 21 on and off. 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 24 for braking the spool 15 that freely rotates in the line payout direction is provided at the center of the side plate 11.
Is arranged. The first side 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 gear ratio between the pinion gear 32 and the main gear 31 is about 1: 6, thereby increasing the speed of the spool 15.

The handle shaft 30 is arranged in parallel with the spool shaft 25, and one end of the handle shaft 30 is supported by a bearing 26b.
It is supported rotatably. The main gear 31 can be connected to one end of the handle shaft 30 via the rotation control mechanism 23 so as to be relatively non-rotatable. In such a configuration, the torque from the handle assembly 2 is directly transmitted to the spool 15 when the clutch mechanism 21 is turned on.

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 the set braking force, and a pawl type ratchet mechanism 60 for rotating the handle shaft 30 only in the line winding direction are provided. As shown in FIG. 5, the ratchet mechanism 60 has a ratchet wheel 61 non-rotatably mounted on the handle shaft 30 and a ratchet claw 62 that can mesh with the ratchet wheel.

As shown in FIG. 4, the clutch operating mechanism 22 swings freely between the connection position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 and the disengagement position shown by the two-dot chain line on the second side cover 14 of the reel body 1. It has a mounted clutch operating member 40. Further, as shown in FIG.
Clutch plate 4 arranged in the space inside side cover 14
2 and a clutch yoke 43. The clutch plate 42 reciprocates between the connection position and the disconnection position by the swing of the clutch operation member 40. Clutch yoke 4
The clutch plate 4 is guided by the guide portion 16c.
The movement of 2 moves the spool shaft 25 in the axial direction, and switches the pinion gear 32 between the connected state and the disconnected state.

Next, the operation of the dual-bearing reel when it is used will be described. When unwinding the fishing line,
The clutch operation member 40 is swung from the connected position to the disconnected position. Then, the clutch mechanism 21 enters the clutch off state. 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 R is sandwiched by the left side, the thumb of the left hand is placed on the thumb rest 17 fixed to the rear part of the reel unit 1, and the fishing rod R is held with the remaining fingers. , The reel and the fishing rod R are held, and the pumping operation of rotating the handle shaft 30 at a high speed is performed by gripping the fishing rod R with the left hand and grasping the handle handle 7 of the handle assembly 2 with the right hand.

When the handle assembly 2 is rotated in the line winding direction, the rotation of the handle assembly 2 is directly transmitted from the handle shaft 30 to the main gear 31 via the one-way clutch mechanism 55 and the drag mechanism 57. At this time, since the clutch mechanism 21 is in the clutch-on state, the main gear 3
The rotation of 1 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 60 allow rotation because the rotation is in the line winding direction.

Next, 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 and transmitted to the handle shaft 30 and the one-way clutch mechanism 55 via the drag mechanism 57. In the one-way clutch mechanism 55, 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. Then, when the fish is strongly pulled and the rotational force of the spool 15 is increased, the transmitted rotational force exceeds the set rotational resistance of the drag mechanism 57. Then, since the drag occurs in the drag mechanism 57, the spool 15 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.

When such an operation is performed, since the second side cover 14 is directly fastened to the reel frame 5, the strength of the reel body 1 is increased, and even if a high load acts on the reel, the winding efficiency is reduced. It is hard to fall or the rotation efficiency of the spool 15 falls. [Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, the reel frame 5 includes:
Although only a part of the outer peripheral surface of the side plate 11 is constituted by a non-circumferential surface and the other outer peripheral surface is constituted by a peripheral surface, the outer peripheral surface is turned.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the entire reel frame 5 may be constituted by a non-circumferential surface. Here, the front lower part and the rear lower part of the die-cast aluminum alloy reel body 1 project in the radial direction, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the reel frame 5 and the covers 13 and 14 are non-circular surfaces. Yes,
It is turned in one piece. In addition, a level wind mechanism 18 is provided using a front protruding portion.

Further, the rod mounting leg 4 is formed integrally with the lower connecting member 12 of the reel frame 5. Since the portion of the connecting member 12 where the rod mounting leg 4 is formed is non-circularly turned, such a rod mounting leg 4 can be formed integrally with the connecting member 12. The rod mounting leg 4 is already formed when the reel frame 5 is forged, and the outer peripheral surface of the reel frame 5 is formed inside the non-circular surface. Since the rod mounting leg 4 is formed integrally with the connecting member 12 as described above, the fishing rod can be brought closer to the axis of the spool 15 even in the case of the metal reel body 1, and a low profile can be obtained. And the reel body 1 that is easy to be palmed can be realized.

(B) In the above embodiment, the first side cover 13 is formed separately from the side plate 10, but the first side cover 13 and the side plate 10 may be formed integrally. (C) In the above embodiment, the reel frame 5 and the first
Although the second side covers 13 and 14 are all made of metal, at least one of the reel frame 5 and the first and second side covers 13 and 14 may be made of metal.

[0040]

According to the present invention, at least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the side plate on one side of the reel frame is cut into a non-circular shape, so that even if the gear ratio is increased, the outer diameter relative to the spool diameter is reduced. The main gear can be stored between the side plate on the handle mounting side and the side cover without increasing the size of the main gear. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a cover member, and the reel body having a large gear ratio can be reduced in size with a simple configuration and can maintain high strength. Moreover, if the entire outer peripheral surface of the reel frame is cut into a non-circular shape, a new design can be obtained, and the sense of quality can be further increased.
