Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain the compactification and weight-lightening of the body of a fishing reel and inhibit the fishing line from being entangled due to moistening by improving the cap and the fitting means to be fitted to the opening of reel body in the fishing spinning reel of a type that the handle can be changed from the right side to the left side and vice versa. SOLUTION: In a spinning reel for fishing in which the handle 3 can be changeably set to both sides of the handle shaft 4 having the driving gears, the fitting part of the cap 10 to the reel main body on the no handle side is formed outward in the radial direction of the bearing 8.8 supporting the handle shaft 4 and the top face of the cap 10 is made close to the edge of the handle shaft 4 as much as possible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a handle cap mounting portion in a fishing spinning reel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a spinning reel for fishing, a handle is rotatably mounted on a handle shaft rotatably supported on the reel body, and a reel body corresponding to a handle shaft on which the handle of the handle shaft is not mounted. Removably fitting a cap to the opening is generally performed, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-48973.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional system, the cap is screwed and fitted to the reel body near the outer side of the bearing portion of the handle shaft provided with the drive gear of the rotor winding mechanism. The cap protrudes greatly from the reel body at the opening of the reel, so that the fishing line is entangled when the fishing line is entangled, and the compactness of the reel body is hindered. There is a defect that the number of bearings increases and the interval between a plurality of bearings for supporting the handle shaft becomes narrower, which causes a problem due to a decrease in the accuracy of support of the handle shaft.

The present invention provides a spinning reel for fishing in which the cap mounting portion of the reel body corresponding to such a handle shaft is improved so that the reel body can be made compact and the line entanglement phenomenon at the time of fishing line dangling can be prevented. It is intended to provide.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a handle is mounted on both ends of a handle shaft for driving a rotor winding mechanism supported on a reel body such that the handle can be changed from side to side and a side without the handle. In a fishing spinning reel in which a cap is removably fitted to an opening of a reel body corresponding to a handle shaft, a fitting portion of the cap with respect to the reel body is disposed radially outside of a bearing supporting the handle shaft. And the top surface of the cap is made as close as possible to the end of the handle shaft, and the means for fitting the cap includes screwing, cam-type fitting, elastic locking and the like. The cap can be fitted inside or outside the opening of the reel body as long as it can be detachably fitted.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. A handle shaft 4 having a handle 3 removably mounted on one end of a reel body 2 having a fishing rod mounting leg 1 is rotatable. The handle 4 is provided with a drive gear 7 of a winding mechanism for rotating the rotor 5 and reciprocating sliding of the spool 6 in a known manner, and the fishing line is wound around the spool 6 by the rotation of the handle 3. It is configured to be worn.

[0007] Both ends of the handle shaft 4 are rotatably supported by bearings 8 engaged and fitted to the reel body 2, and the reel body 2 is disposed radially outside the bearing 8.
A screw portion 9 ′ is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the opening 9. The screw portion 9 ′ on the side where the handle 3 is not attached is particularly provided on the outer peripheral edge of the cap 10 whose top surface is as close to the handle shaft 4 as possible. The formed screw portion 10 'is detachably screwed. In the drawing, reference numeral 11 denotes a decorative plate fitted to the outside of the top surface of the cap 10, and reference numeral 12 denotes an air vent hole for bonding the decorative plate.

Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above, the width of the reel body 2 can be reduced on both sides by the dimension B from the position of the conventional cap A shown by the dashed line and the number of protrusions can be reduced. The entanglement of the fishing line when the fishing line is inflated can be prevented, and the reduction in the number of protruding portions can reduce the weight of the reel body 2 and the spacing between the bearings 8, 8 can be sufficient as before. Since it can be ensured, the support accuracy of the drive gear 5 does not decrease.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a screw portion 10 'is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cap 10 and is detachably screwed into a screw portion 9' formed on the outer peripheral surface of the opening 9.
0 is fitted to the outer cylindrical portion 2 'of the reel body 2. In this method, a screw portion 9' is formed on the outer circumference of the locking fitting portion of the bearing 8, and this portion is formed as a wall. Since the thickness is increased, the supporting accuracy and the supporting strength of the bearing can be improved.

In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the outer cylindrical portion 2 'of the reel body 2 in the second embodiment is removed, so that the radial size of the cap 10 can be reduced and the weight can be reduced. Can be

In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the decorative plate 11 in the third embodiment is omitted and the top surface of the cap is made thinner to further reduce the weight.

[0012]

According to the present invention, a cap fitted to an opening corresponding to a handle shaft of a reel body is detachably fitted to a reel body radially outward of a bearing supporting the handle shaft, and a cap top surface. Is formed so as to be as close to the handle shaft end as possible, so that increase in the size of the reel body in the handle axial direction can be suppressed, and the reel body can be made more compact, and the fishing line is dipped in the opening of the reel body. Can be reliably prevented from occurring.

Further, according to the present invention, since the projecting portion of the opening of the reel body is reduced, the weight can be reduced accordingly, and the bearing interval of the handle shaft can be sufficiently secured, and the accuracy of supporting the driving gear is reduced. Thus, the winding action of the fishing line can be performed smoothly and reliably.
