Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel in which a spool can be attached to or detached from a spool shaft, capable of ensuring the stable anti-slipping operation of the spool from the spool shaft and the stable operation for detaching the spool from the spool shaft over a long period. SOLUTION: A small diameter engaging groove 6 formed at the tip of the spool shaft 5 of the fishing reel is nipped and held with a pair of plate-like holding members 8, 8, whose outer ends are inward energized with spring members 7 disposed thereon, respectively. The tapered portion 9 of a push button 10 disposed in a spool 4 and capable of being freely pushed is engaged with the inner ends of a pair of the plate-like holding members 8, 8. When the push button is pushed, the plate-like holding members 8, 8 are opened and separated from the engaging groove 6 to release the spool 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a spool attaching / detaching device in a fishing reel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A means for attaching and detaching a spool supported on a spool shaft of a fishing reel is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-878.
As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. Hei. 2-33668 and the like, a linear or plate-shaped spring locking member is engaged with an engaging groove formed at the tip of the spool shaft to prevent the spool from coming off. It is known that the spool is stopped and the spool is removed from the spool shaft by expanding the spring locking member with a push button provided at the end of the spool shaft.

[0003]

However, in the conventional system, the spring engaging member is directly engaged with the engaging groove of the spool shaft, and the spring engaging member is directly expanded by a push button to remove the spool. Therefore, the pinching force of the spring locking member to the engagement groove is weakened due to repeated repetition of the pressing operation of the push button and a load action in the thrust direction of the spool, for example, an impact due to a fishing line winding operation or a drop of the spool. There is a defect that the locking function cannot be performed stably, which causes backlash, and sometimes causes the spool to fall off the spool shaft, thereby deteriorating the reel function. The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and has been made to improve these defects to ensure and stably perform a locking operation of a spool on a spool shaft and a detaching operation thereof so that a reel function can be sufficiently exhibited for a long period of time. It is an object to provide a fishing reel.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, the outer ends of a pair of opposed plate-like locking members are biased inward by spring members to support the spool. The spool at the distal end of the spool shaft is provided with a tapered portion that engages between the inner ends of the pair of plate-shaped locking members. A push button is provided so as to be able to be pressed, and the spool can be removed from the spool shaft by pressing the push button.As a fishing reel, a spool rotating type double bearing type or single bearing type reel is used. In some cases, the present invention is applied to a spinning reel in which the spool is fixed and the rotor is a rotating system.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings of the embodiments. The embodiments shown in FIGS.
The present invention is applied to a single-bearing type reel, and a spool shaft 5 rotatably supporting a spool 4 having a handle 3 is fixed to a reel body 2 having a mounting portion 1 at a lower portion thereof, and the spool shaft 5 is fixed. A small-diameter engagement groove 6 is provided at the tip of the spool shaft 5.
Is provided.

[0006] A pair of plate-like locking members 8, 8 urged in the axial direction of the spool by spring members 7 provided at the outer ends of the spool 4 are disposed on the outer surface of the shaft cylinder portion 4 'of the spool 4. A push button 10 having a tapered portion 9 at the front end is provided on the outer side of the push button 10 with the inner end edges of the plate-shaped locking members 8.8 being engaged with the engagement grooves 6 of the spool shaft 5 from both sides. 4
The tapered portion 9 is movably engaged in the axial direction between the inner ends of the pair of plate-shaped locking members 8, 8 so as to be movable in the axial direction. , The pair of plate-like locking members 8.8 facing each other are expanded outwardly against the spring members 7.7 to disengage from the engagement grooves 6 and the spool 4 is moved laterally from the spool shaft 5. It is configured to be removable.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is a case where the present invention is applied to a spinning reel, in which an engaging groove 6 is provided at the upper end of a reciprocally slidable spool shaft 5 as is well known. The plate-like locking members 8.8 urged by springs 7.7 provided on the outer end so as to squeeze the engaging grooves 6 from the left and right are engaged, and are freely pressable provided on the upper portion of the spool 4. The push button 10 of the push button 10 is axially movably engaged between the inner ends of the plate-like locking members 8 and 8.
The spool 4 is detached upward from the spool shaft 5 by the pressing operation of 0, the tapered portion 9 causes the plate-shaped locking members 8.8 to expand and slide outwardly against the springs 7 respectively. is there.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a pair of plate-shaped locking members are engaged with the engaging grooves of the spool shaft, and the pair of plate-shaped locking members are urged by spring members provided at the outer ends thereof. As described above, since the taper portion of the push button is prevented from directly acting on the spring member engaged with the engagement groove as in the conventional method, it is necessary to repeatedly perform the attaching / detaching operation of the spool or the load acting on the spool shaft. It is possible to prevent the spring portion of the locking member from being deformed or damaged, thereby preventing play, and to always stably and reliably lock the spool with respect to the spool shaft,
The operation of attaching and detaching the spool on the fishing reel can be performed smoothly for a long time.
