Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spinning reel mounted on a fishing rod and winding a fishing line around a first axis along a longitudinal direction of the fishing rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A spinning reel is generally a reel mounted on a fishing rod and winding a fishing line around a first axis along a longitudinal direction of the fishing rod. The spinning reel comprises a reel body mounted on a fishing rod, a rotor rotatably mounted on the reel body around a first axis, and a spool mounted movably in the first axis direction at the front of the reel body. Have. The rotation of the handle is transmitted by the rotor drive mechanism to rotate the rotor about the first axis. The rotor has a cylindrical portion and a fishing line guide mechanism provided on the cylindrical portion to guide the fishing line to the spool. The rotation of the handle is transmitted by the oscillating mechanism, and the spool reciprocates in the first axial direction.

As this type of spinning reel, an in-spool type and an out-spool type are known. The in-spool type spinning reel is provided so that the spool enters the inside of the cylindrical portion of the rotor, and the out-spool type spinning reel is provided so that the spool covers the outside of the cylindrical portion of the rotor. In the in-spool type, a fishing line guide mechanism is swingably mounted on the tip of the cylindrical portion of the rotor. In the outspool type, a fishing line guide mechanism is swingably mounted on the tip of a pair of rotor arms extending forward from the rear end of the cylindrical portion of the rotor at a distance from the cylindrical portion.

[0004]

The in-spool type spinning reel is provided with a fishing line guide mechanism at the tip of the cylindrical portion of the rotor, so that the rotation balance is good and the size can be reduced as a whole. However, the fishing line hits the rotor during casting, causing resistance, making it difficult to fly the tackle far away. In addition, foreign substances such as sand and salt easily enter the inside of the rotor. Further, there is a problem that the fishing line easily penetrates into the gap between the rotor and the spool. Because of this,
Most spinning reels are outspool.

[0005] The out-spool type can eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the in-spool type. However, since it is necessary to provide a pair of rotor arms on the rotor, the entire reel becomes larger. Further, since the rotor arm has a cantilever structure extending forward from the rear end of the cylindrical portion, the shape is disadvantageous in strength. For this reason, in order to maintain sufficient strength against drop impact of the reel and transmission of force from the fishing line guide,
Further, the reel body becomes larger.

An object of the present invention is to solve the drawbacks of the in-spool type spinning reel and to provide a high strength and compact out-spool type spinning reel having its advantages.

[0007]

A spinning reel according to a first aspect of the present invention is a reel mounted on a fishing rod and configured to wind a fishing line around a first axis along a longitudinal direction of the fishing rod. The spinning reel comprises a reel body, a rotor, and a spool. It has a shaft, a spool, a reciprocating mechanism, and a rotation transmitting mechanism. The reel body has a handle and is mounted on a fishing rod.
The rotor includes a cylindrical portion rotatably mounted on a reel body around a first axis, and first and second cylindrical members disposed opposite to each other and swingably mounted around a second axis different from the first axis. It has a fishing line guide mechanism including a second bail support member. The spool shaft is a shaft movably mounted on the reel body in the first axial direction. The spool is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the bobbin trunk portion and the cylindrical portion that is immovably mounted in the first axial direction at the tip of the spool shaft, and is rotatable with respect to the bobbin trunk portion and interlocks with the first axial direction. It has a cylindrical skirt portion in which a pair of cutouts are formed along the first axial direction so that the mounting portions of both bail support members of the cylindrical portion can pass and engage. The reciprocating mechanism is a mechanism that reciprocates the spool shaft in the first axis direction in conjunction with the rotation of the handle. The rotation transmission mechanism is a mechanism that rotates the rotor about the first axis in conjunction with the rotation of the handle.

In this spinning reel, when the handle is rotated, the rotor is rotated in the line winding direction by the rotation transmitting mechanism. When the rotor rotates, the skirt portion arranged on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical portion of the rotor engages with the mounting portion of the fishing line guide mechanism of the rotor and rotates together with the rotor. Reciprocate in the direction. Thus, the fishing line guided by the fishing line guide mechanism is wound around the bobbin trunk of the spool. Here, since the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical portion of the rotor is covered by the skirt portion, the disadvantage of the in-spool type is eliminated. Also, since a fishing line guide mechanism including a pair of bail support members is swingably mounted on the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion,
The rotor arm is not required, and the advantages of the in-spool type can be provided. Therefore, it is possible to provide a compact outspool type spinning reel having high strength.

The spinning reel according to the second aspect of the present invention provides
Wherein the spool shaft is not rotatable with respect to the reel body, and further includes a drag mechanism disposed between the bobbin trunk and the spool shaft. In this case,
It is possible to provide a high-strength and compact front drag type spinning reel. A spinning reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the spinning reel according to the first aspect, wherein the spool shaft is rotatable with respect to the reel body, and the bobbin trunk is non-rotatably mounted on the tip of the spool shaft. It further includes a drag mechanism disposed between the reel unit and the reel unit. In this case, a compact rear drag type spinning reel having high strength can be provided.

A spinning reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is a spinning reel according to the first aspect.
In the reel according to any one of Items 1 to 3, the skirt portion is connected to the bobbin trunk portion so as to be rotatable and immovable in the first axial direction. In this case, since the skirt is connected to the bobbin trunk, the fishing line is less likely to bite between the bobbin trunk and the skirt. A spinning reel according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the spinning reel according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the skirt portion is mounted on the spool shaft so as to be rotatable and immovable in the first axial direction. In this case, since the skirt is mounted on the spool shaft instead of the bobbin trunk, a connection structure between the skirt and the bobbin trunk becomes unnecessary.

A spinning reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the spinning reel according to the first aspect.
In the reel according to any one of the above items (1) to (5), both bail support members are swingably attached to the distal end of the cylindrical portion.
In this case, since the bail support member is attached to the tip of the cylindrical portion, the arm length of the fishing line guide mechanism is shortened, and the whole rotor is compact.
