Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fishing line guide mechanism,
In particular, the present invention relates to a fishing line guide mechanism of a spinning reel which is swingably mounted at the tip of the first and second rotor arms in a line guiding posture and a line releasing posture and guides a fishing line to a spool.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A spinning reel is provided with a fishing line guide mechanism for guiding a fishing line to a spool. The fishing line guide mechanism is mounted on the tips of the first and second rotor arms, rotates with the rotor, and is swingably provided between a line releasing position and a line guiding position. The fishing line guide mechanism includes a first and a second bail support member, a fixed shaft having one end fixed to the tip of the first bail support member, a fixed shaft cover fixed to the other end of the fixed shaft, and a fixed shaft cover. And a line roller supported on a fixed shaft. One end of the bail is inserted and fixed in the fixed shaft cover, and a step is formed at a connection portion between the fixed shaft cover and the bail. The other end of the bail is attached to the tip of the second bail support member.

In a spinning reel having such a fishing line guide mechanism, when winding a fishing line onto a spool, the bail is swung toward the line guiding posture and the handle is turned. Then, the fishing line is guided by the bail, guided to and contacted with the outer peripheral surface of the line roller via the fixed shaft cover. And
The fishing line is guided by the line roller and changes direction,
Winded around the spool.

[0004]

In the conventional fishing line guide mechanism, a step is formed between the fixed shaft cover and the bail. For this reason, the fishing line guided by the line roller is caught by the step and hinders the smooth guiding of the fishing line, and the fishing line is wrapped between the fixed shaft cover and the bail, so that the line is easily entangled.

Therefore, it is conceivable to attach a cylindrical collar member between the fixed shaft cover and the bail to reduce the step. However, in order to smoothly connect the fixed shaft cover and the bail, it takes time and effort to process the collar member, which may increase the manufacturing cost. An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive fishing line guide mechanism that does not easily cause line entanglement.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fishing line guide mechanism for a spinning reel, wherein the fishing line is swingably mounted on a leading end of a first and a second rotor arm in a line guiding position and a line releasing position. A first and second bail support member swingably mounted at the tips of first and second rotor arms, respectively, and one end fixed to the first bale support member. Fixed shaft, a fixed shaft cover having a hole provided at the other end of the fixed shaft and spaced apart from the first bail support member and having an opening at an end thereof, and a connecting portion at an outer edge of the fixed shaft; A line roller which is freely supported and has a guide portion formed on its peripheral surface for guiding the fishing line, one end of which is fixed to the second bail support member and the other end of which is inserted into the hole and is curved outward in the circumferential direction of the spool; The fishing line is fixed A bale guiding the line roller via a shaft cover, and a line member wound around the outer periphery of the bale and the connecting portion.

In this fishing line guide mechanism, a line member is wound around the outer periphery of the bail and the connecting portion. The line member is, for example, a relatively inexpensive thread-like member such as nylon, and can be easily wound around the outer periphery of the bale and the connecting portion with an arbitrary thickness. Therefore, by winding the line member so as to smoothly connect the veil and the fixed shaft cover, the fishing line can be smoothly guided to the veil and the fixed shaft cover. As described above, the line member can smoothly connect the bale and the fixed shaft cover at low cost, and can reduce the possibility of thread entanglement.

A fishing line guide mechanism according to a second aspect of the present invention is the fishing line guide mechanism of the first aspect, wherein the connecting portion is a step portion having a smaller diameter than the other portion of the fixed shaft cover. In this case, since the connecting portion has, for example, a cylindrical step, it becomes easy to wind the line member. A fishing line guide mechanism according to a third aspect of the present invention is the fishing line guide mechanism according to the first or second aspect, wherein a groove is formed along the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the bail around which the line member is wound. It can be locked in the groove.

A fishing line guide mechanism according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the fishing line guide mechanism according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the peripheral surface of the line member smoothly connects the peripheral surface of the bail and the peripheral surface of the fixed shaft cover. . A fishing line guide mechanism according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the fishing line guide mechanism according to any of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the line member is fixed at least by an adhesive applied to the surface. In this case, for example, by applying a dry adhesive from the surface of the line member, the line member can be firmly fixed and the surface of the line member can be made smoother.

A fishing line guiding mechanism according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the fishing line guiding mechanism of the fifth aspect, wherein the adhesive contains a pigment. In this case, the decorativeness of the line member can be improved.
