Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a rotor braking device,
In particular, the present invention relates to a spinning reel rotor braking device that brakes a rotor rotatably mounted on a reel body of a spinning reel according to swing of a bail arm that swings between a line winding posture and a line releasing posture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, spinning reel rotors include:
A bail arm is provided for guiding the fishing line to the spool. The bail arm can take a line winding position in which the fishing line is guided to the outer periphery of the spool when winding the line, and a line releasing position in which the line is lowered from the line winding position so as not to be in the way when the line is pulled out from the spool. A bale reversing device is provided on the rotor in order to maintain the bail arm in the line winding position and the line releasing position, and to return from the line releasing position to the line winding position in conjunction with the rotation of the rotor in the line winding direction. .

A conventional bale reversing device is disclosed in
A device disclosed in -4839 is known. In this bail reversing device, a tip is locked near a swing center of a bail arm, a toggle spring mounted on a rotor, a tip is locked near a swing center of a bail arm, and a base end is a reel body. And a switching protrusion provided on the reel body so as to contact the moving member. The toggle spring distributes and urges the bail arm into two positions, and holds the bail arm in the two positions. When the bail arm swings to the line releasing position, the moving member retreats to a position where it contacts the switching protrusion. When the rotor rotates in the line winding direction, the rotor comes forward in contact with the switching projection. The advance causes the toggle spring to contract, and the toggle spring returns the bail arm to the line winding position.

In such a spinning reel, when the fishing line is fed out by casting, the bail arm is inverted to the line releasing position after hooking the fishing line with the forefinger of a forefinger in a state where the rotation of the rotor is prohibited. At this time, the rotor is rotated so that the line roller is on the fishing rod side so that the fishing line can be easily hooked. Then, he swings the fishing rod down, releases the fishing line from his forefinger in the middle, and waits for the device to land. After the device has landed, the handle is slightly rolled up when the device has properly settled, and the bail arm is returned to the line winding position by the bale reversing device.

[0005] When the fishing line is fed out by its own weight after casting or fishing on a boat, the bail arm is inverted to the line releasing position, the tip of the index finger is pressed by the tip of the index finger, and the abdomen of the index finger is brought into contact with the fishing line. Performs an operation called summing to prevent thread dandruff. At this time, the rotor is rotated to a position where the bail arm does not interfere.

In the conventional spinning reel, when the bail arm is in the line releasing position and the reverse rotation is prohibited by the reverse rotation preventing mechanism, the rotor does not rotate in the line feeding direction. However, the rotor may rotate in the yarn winding direction. In recent years, the rotor has become easier to rotate lightly because the rotational balance has been improved to achieve high winding efficiency. For this reason, a spinning reel having an improved rotation balance can be easily rotated in the yarn winding direction. When the rotor rotates, the rotational phase of the rotor may easily shift even if the rotor is rotated to a rotational phase suitable for casting or summing.

In order to prevent this, in the above-described conventional configuration, a braking member that contacts the reel body and brakes the rotor is mounted on the moving member. When the moving member moves to the contact position, the braking member contacts the front surface of the reel body and is compressed to brake the rotor. When the rotor is elastically braked at the time of bail reversal as described above, rotation of the rotor can be prevented, and the rotor can be rotated in the line winding direction as necessary.

[0008]

In the above-mentioned conventional configuration,
The braking member mounted on the moving member is brought into contact with the reel body and compressed to brake the rotor. For this reason, when the contact position of the moving member moves back and forth due to a manufacturing error, a mounting error, or the like, the compression amount of the braking member changes. When the compression amount fluctuates, the braking force of the rotor fluctuates, and the rotor cannot be braked stably.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the braking member is provided on the reel body, and the moving member is moved from the end of the braking member toward the outer surface in a direction intersecting the compression direction of the braking member so as to contact the braking member. . As a result, the rotor can be braked stably irrespective of the fluctuation of the moving amount of the moving member. However, with this configuration, when the moving member contacts the end of the braking member, the moving member may not be able to move smoothly. If the moving member does not move smoothly, it becomes difficult to smoothly switch the bail arm from the line winding position to the line releasing position.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a spinning reel rotor braking device capable of braking a rotor in a line releasing posture, in which the rotor can be braked stably irrespective of a change in the amount of movement of the moving member, and An object of the present invention is to enable the moving member to move smoothly at the time of contact.

They are arranged such that the locking positions with respect to the bail support member 40 are located in different directions. Thereby, the toggle spring mechanism 50 can distribute and urge the bail arm 17 to both postures and hold it in both postures.

The moving member 51 is a member formed by bending both ends of a metal wire such as a stainless alloy in directions different from each other by 90 degrees. The moving member 51 is shown in FIG.
The first arm portion 31b is attached to the separated position shown in FIG. 3A and the contact position shown in FIG.

Are locked at any of the ends in the swinging direction of.
The intermediate portion 51b extends along the first arm portion 31b radially inward of the rod 55. The rear end portion 51c is bent inward from the intermediate portion 51b, and further bent toward the center (rotation axis) of the rotor 3. When the rear end portion 51c is oriented toward the center of the rotor 3 as described above, the force is smoothly transmitted when the switching member 52 is pressed against the switching member 52. Further, the distal end portion 51a is formed into the arc-shaped engagement concave groove 40.
By locking to the end of b, the amount of movement of the moving member 51 can be made smaller than the amount of swing of the bail arm at the time of swing by the length of the engagement concave groove 40b in the arc direction. Rear end 51
c extends inward to a position penetrating through the elongated hole 36 and slightly overlapping the front end face of the braking member 65 constituting the rotor braking mechanism 54, and the rear end face is slightly rounded. The width of the long hole 36 is substantially the same as the diameter of the moving member 51. For this reason, the rear end 51c of the moving member 51
It moves back and forth along the long hole 36 in conjunction with the swing of the bail arm 17.

When the bail arm 17 is in the line releasing position, the locking end of the moving member 51 in the engagement concave groove 40b is taken up from the line connecting the rear end portion 51c and the swing center of the bail arm 17. It is located on the posture side. That is, the moving member 51
Is the rear end portion 51c at the contact position (FIG. 3B).
The first bail support member 40 is disposed so that there is a locking position with respect to the first bail support member 40 at a separation position and a contact position in the same direction from a line connecting the shaft center of the first bale support member 40 and the swing axis of the first bale support member 40. . Thus, when the rear end 51c of the moving member 51 is pressed by the switching member 52, the first bail support member 40
Can be returned to the yarn winding posture side. When in this contact position, the end face of the rear end portion 51c is slightly deeper than the front end face of the braking member 65 and slightly inward of the outer peripheral surface. For this reason, even if the moving amount of the moving member 51 slightly changes, the same braking force is always obtained.

The rotor braking mechanism 54 brakes the rotor 3 when the bail arm 17 swings to the line releasing position, and includes a moving member 51 and a braking member 65 mounted on the base end of the cylindrical portion 2e. have. That is, the moving member 5
1 constitutes the bail reversing mechanism 18 and also constitutes the rotor braking mechanism 54.

The braking member 65 is provided to brake the rotation of the rotor 3 when the bail arm 17 is in the line releasing position. The braking member 65 has a rectangular cross section, for example, styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene-rubber, butadiene-rubber, isoprene-rubber, chloroprene-rubber, silicone-rubber,
It is a ring-shaped member made of an elastic body made of synthetic rubber such as urethane-rubber. On the outer peripheral surface of the braking member 65, a braking surface 65a constituted by a flat circular surface except for a portion avoiding the switching member 52 is formed. The braking member 65 is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the base end of the cylindrical portion 2e having a D-shaped cross section.
Therefore, the braking member 65 is mounted in a D-shape when viewed from the front. The straight portion of the braking member 65 is provided to bypass the switching member 52. An introduction surface 65b is formed at the distal end edge of the braking surface 65a of the braking member 65 so as to be continuous with the braking surface 65a. The introduction surface 65b is formed such that the upstream side in the moving direction of the moving member 51 interlocked with the swing to the line releasing posture is farther from the downstream side, and in the present embodiment, the introduction surface 65b is rounded continuously with the braking surface 65a. It is formed with a round surface. When the introduction surface 65b inclined continuously to the braking surface 65a is formed as described above, when the moving member 51 comes into contact with the braking member 65, the tip of the rounded moving member 51 passes through the introduction surface 65b of the braking member 65. It comes into smooth contact with the braking surface 65a. Therefore, the switching of the posture of the bail arm 17 becomes smooth. An annular protrusion 2f is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 2e at a distance from the flange portion 2d, and the braking member 65 is mounted between the flange portion 2d and the annular protrusion 2f in contact with both. I have.

The switching member 52 is a member made of a synthetic resin such as nylon 66 or polyacetal. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the switching member 52 is attached to and detached from the flange portion 2d at a divided portion between the reel body 2a and the lid member 2b. It is freely attached. In the divided part of the reel body 2a and the lid member 2b,
A rectangular notch 53 is formed. Switching member 52

The inclined surface 60a is an inclined surface in which the downstream side in the yarn winding rotation direction of the rotor 3 shown by an arrow in FIG. The constricted portion 61 has a size that fits into the notch 53, and
A gap having substantially the same size as the thickness of d is formed between the cam portion 60 and the flange portion 62. The flange portion 62 has a cross section larger than the constricted portion 61 and comes into contact with the back surface of the flange portion 2d.

When the cover member 2b is mounted on the reel body 2a, the switching member 52 thus configured is fitted with, for example, a constricted portion 61 in a notch 53 on the reel body 2a side, and the cover member 2b is attached to the reel body 2a. It can be fixed to the reel body 2 simply by screwing. Therefore, the switching member 52 can be easily fixed to the reel body 2 without using another fixing member. Further, even if the reel body 2 is made of a magnesium alloy that is easily corroded, the switching member 52 with which the moving member 51 comes into contact is a separate member from the reel body 2,
When the bail arm 17 is inverted, the reel body 2 is not damaged. Therefore, the progress of corrosion due to the scratch can be prevented. Further, a switching member 52 mounted on the reel body 2
Is made of a synthetic resin, which is a dielectric, so that the switching member 52
Is brought into contact with the reel body 2, the reel body 2 does not undergo electrolytic corrosion.

The toggle spring mechanism 50 having the above-described structure is
It is possible to take a first position as shown in FIG. 3A and a second position as shown in FIG. 3B. The first position corresponds to the yarn winding posture of the bail arm 17, and the second position corresponds to the yarn releasing posture of the bail arm 17. Further, the movable member 51 can move back and forth between the separated position shown in FIG. 3A and the contact position shown in FIG. This separation position corresponds to the yarn winding posture, and the contact position corresponds to the yarn winding posture. In the contact position, the end surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 contacts the braking surface 65a so that the braking surface 65a is slightly compressed on the back side of the front end surface of the braking member 65. Therefore, the moving member 51
The braking force does not fluctuate even if the moving position, i.e., the contact position fluctuates in the axial direction. When the rotor 3 rotates in the line winding direction at the contact position, the peripheral surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 comes into contact with the inclined surface 60a of the switching member 52, and the moving member 51 is pressed forward toward the separated posture. Is done.

As shown in FIG. 2, a reverse rotation preventing mechanism 70 for inhibiting or canceling the reverse rotation of the rotor 3 is disposed inside the cylindrical portion 30 of the rotor 3. The reverse rotation prevention mechanism 70 has a roller type one-way clutch, and the reverse rotation of the rotor 3 is inhibited / released by switching the one-way clutch between an active state and a non-active state.

The spool 4 is disposed between the first rotor arm 31 and the second rotor arm 32 of the rotor 3, and is mounted on the tip of the spool shaft 15 via a drag mechanism 71. The spool 4 includes a bobbin trunk 4a around which the fishing line is wound, a skirt portion 4b integrally formed at a rear portion of the bobbin trunk 4a, and a flange portion 4c integrally formed at a front end of the bobbin trunk 4a. Have.

[Reel Operation and Operation] At the time of casting, the reverse rotation preventing mechanism 70 sets the rotor 3 in the reverse rotation prohibited state, and reverses the bail arm 17 to the line releasing posture. When the bail arm 17 is reversed to the line releasing posture, the first bail support member 40 and the second bale support member 42 are tilted rearward, and the bale reversing mechanism 18 is moved to the second position as shown in FIG. Be placed. When the bail arm 17 is in the line releasing position, the fishing line from the spool 4 can be easily drawn out.

In the swing from the line winding position to the line releasing position, the toggle spring mechanism 50 rotates the first bail support member 40 so that the rod 55 gradually retracts in FIG. To reach the second position shown in FIG. At this time, they retreat until the dead center is exceeded. When the dead center is exceeded, the rod 55 advances by the urging force of the coil spring 57 to switch the bail arm 17 to the line releasing position and hold it in that position.

When the bail arm 17 swings to the line releasing position, when the distal end 51a of the moving member 51 comes into contact with the end of the engaging groove 40b on the upstream side in the swinging direction, the moving member 51 comes into contact from the separated position. Start moving towards the position. Then, when reaching the second position, the end surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 slightly bites into the braking surface 65a via the introduction surface 65b of the braking member 65 and elastically contacts. As a result, the rotor 3 is braked and its rotational phase is maintained. At this time, since the end surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 slightly bites into the braking surface 65a of the braking member 65 and is elastically in contact therewith, even if the contact position of the moving member 51 is shifted in the axial direction, the contact The state does not change and the braking force does not change. Also, since the moving member 51 is elastically in contact with the braking member 65 and only the rotor 3 is braked by friction, the rotation phase can be easily changed by rotating the rotor 3 by hand or by rotating the handle 1. Can be adjusted. That is, since the rotor 3 is braked by the frictional force and the rotation phase is maintained, the bail arm 17
The rotor 3 does not rotate when is set to the line releasing position. Therefore, problems caused by unexpected rotation of the rotor 3 during casting or summing can be solved. Moreover,
Since the rotor 3 is only braked by friction,
If a force is applied to the rotor 3, the rotor 3 can be easily turned to adjust the rotation phase.

In this state, the fishing rod is cast while hooking the fishing line with the index finger of the hand holding the fishing rod. Then, the fishing line is released vigorously by the weight of the device.
After the casting, when the handle 1 is rotated in the yarn winding direction with, for example, the left hand while the bail arm 17 is maintained in the yarn releasing position, the rotor 3 is rotated by the rotor drive mechanism 5 in the yarn winding direction. When the rotor 3 rotates in the line winding direction, the bail arm 17 is returned to the line winding position by the bail reversing mechanism 18.

Specifically, in FIGS. 5 and 6, the moving member 51 rotates clockwise together with the rotor 3. Then, the peripheral surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 is
Abuts against the inclined surface 60a of the switching member 52 fixed to the side. As a result, the moving member 51 is pressed forward, and FIG.
Then, the first bail support member 40 is swung to the line winding posture. Accordingly, the guide member 56 of the toggle spring mechanism 50 swings from the second position shown in FIG. 3B to the first position shown in FIG. Then, when the dead center is exceeded, the rod 55 advances by the urging force of the coil spring 57, and switches the bail arm 17 to the line winding posture and holds it in that posture. When the bail arm 17 returns to the line winding posture, the first bail support member 40 and the second bail support member 42
As shown in FIG. When the bail arm 17 returns to the line winding posture, the fishing line is guided to the spool 4 by the bail arm 17 and wound around the spool 4.

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, the toggle spring mechanism 50 is composed of the rod 55, the guide member 56, and the coil spring 57. However, as shown in FIG. Rod 8
1 and a coil spring 82 arranged on the outer peripheral side of the rod 81.

The rod 81 of the toggle spring mechanism 80 has a locking portion 81a that is bent toward the first bail support member 40 at the tip so as to be locked in the engagement hole 40a of the first bail support member 40. ing. Further, the rod 81 is provided with a locking projection 8 for locking the distal end of the coil spring 82 at the intermediate portion.
1b, and a slightly curved portion 81c at the rear end. A washer 83 with which the tip of the coil spring 82 abuts is mounted on the locking projection 81b, whereby the force is uniformly transmitted to the rod 81 from the tip of the coil spring 82.

The coil spring 82 is guided in contact with a guide sheet 84 made of a synthetic resin such as nylon 66, which is mounted on the arm 31b. The guide sheet 84
The coil spring 82 has a wall portion 84a that is bent so as to guide and lock one surface of the coil spring 82. Wall 84
“a” has a height capable of contacting the side and the base end of the coil spring 82. Accordingly, the coil spring 82 easily expands and contracts, and the arm portion 31b is not damaged when the coil spring 82 expands and contracts.

The end of the coil spring 82, which is locked by the washer 83, has a smaller winding diameter than other portions. As a result, a large gap is formed between the coil spring 82 and the rod 81 except at the distal end, and the rod 8
Even if 1 changes the posture, the coil spring 82 is less likely to be deformed. Further, the first cover member 31c is provided on the arm portion 31b.
A boss portion 85 having a screw hole for mounting the boss 85 is formed. Even in the bail reversing mechanism having the toggle spring mechanism 80 having such a configuration, the first movement by the coil spring 82 at the time of swinging is performed.
Since the biasing direction of the bail support member 40 changes, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

In such an embodiment, a boss portion that comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the base end of the coil spring 82 and a cover that covers the outer peripheral surface of the base end are provided to lock the base end of the coil spring 82. You may make it. Further, the boss portion and the cover portion may be attached to the arm portion 31b so as to swing around an axis parallel to the swing axis of the first bail support member 40. For example, it is conceivable that an arc-shaped convex portion is formed on the base end surface of the boss portion, and an arc-shaped concave portion is formed in the arm portion 31b so as to engage with the arc-shaped convex portion.

(B) In the above embodiment, the braking member is made of synthetic rubber. However, as long as it has elasticity, it may be made of metal, synthetic resin, wood such as cork, leather material or the like. (C) In the above-described embodiment, the moving member 51 is made of a metal wire. However, the moving member is not limited to this, as long as the rear end moves back and forth and comes into contact with the braking surface of the braking member. Any form may be used.

(D) In the above embodiment, the bail reversing mechanism 18 is mounted on the first rotor arm 31 side, but may be mounted on the second rotor arm 32 side. Also, the bail reversing mechanism 18 excluding the rotor braking mechanism 54 is provided on one rotor arm.

(E) In the above-described embodiment, the inclined surface 60a of the switching member 52 is constituted by an inclined surface in which the amount of protrusion increases from the upstream side to the downstream side in the yarn winding rotation direction. As shown in FIG.
An inclined surface 60b may be formed so that the amount of protrusion decreases from the protruding portion a toward the downstream side in the yarn winding rotation direction. When the inclined surface 60b in which the amount of protrusion is reduced is formed, the switching member 52 becomes a mountain-shaped inclined surface. As a result, the bale arm 1
7 is in the line releasing position, even if the moving member 51 comes into contact with the switching member 52 due to the reverse rotation (rotation in the line feeding direction), the moving member 51 of the bail reversing mechanism 18 is switched by the inclined surface 60b. 52 guides smoothly, and is less likely to be damaged. In addition, such two inclined surfaces 60a, 60b
Can be applied to a switching member integrally formed with the reel body 2.

(F) In the above-described embodiment, the rear end 51c of the moving member 51 is guided back and forth by the long hole 36. The rear end 51c may be guided obliquely. By guiding the rear end portion 51c obliquely in this manner, the rear end portion 51c can be directed toward the center of the rotor 3 in the yarn releasing posture. Further, when the rear end portion 51c is directed toward the center of the rotor 3, it is not necessary to bend the rear end portion 51c further toward the center of the rotor 3.

(G) In the above-described embodiment, the tip of the rear end 51c of the moving member 51 is rounded. However, the tip of the rear end 51c may be curved to contact the braking surface 65a of the braking member 65. Good.

(H) In the above embodiment, the switching member 52 is detachably mounted on the flange 2d.
d may be integrally formed. (I) In the above embodiment, the introduction surface 65b is formed of a round surface, but may be formed of a tapered surface whose diameter decreases toward the front.

(J) In the above embodiment, the moving member 51 has moved back and forth, but as shown in FIG.
The rear end 151c may be moved in the radial direction. In this case, the braking surface 165a of the braking member 165 is formed on the front end surface. Also, the introduction surface 165b is not a round surface,
The braking surface 165a is formed of a tapered surface whose diameter increases radially outward and rearward. In this case, the moving member 151 is provided with an interlocking unit (not shown) that moves in response to the swing of the bail arm 17 and a moving unit 151a that moves in the radial direction by moving the interlocking unit. The rear end 151c may be moved in the radial direction.

[0066]

According to the present invention, the introduction surface is formed on the upstream side in the moving direction of the braking surface so that the upstream side is farther from the moving member than the downstream side, and the braking surface is formed along the moving direction of the moving member. Therefore, even if the moving amount of the moving member fluctuates, the braking force does not change, and the rotor can be stably braked, and comes into contact with the braking surface from the introduction surface side gradually approaching the moving member toward the braking surface. Therefore, the movement of the moving member becomes smooth.
