Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a bearing mechanism of a rotating shaft supported on a reel body of a fishing reel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a fishing reel, a fishing line is wound on a spool supported by the reel body through a fishing line winding drive mechanism by a rotating action of a handle attached to the reel body. Bearings provided on the reel body supporting the rotating shaft of
As shown in the publication, the retainer such as a ring or a bush nut normally prevents the falling off, but the waterproof and dustproof functions to prevent the invasion of water such as seawater and sand and other foreign matter attached to the spool etc. are insufficient. There is a defect to do.

In order to eliminate this defect, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 1-220985, a packing made of an elastic member is interposed between the bearing and the reel body, and the bearing is prevented from coming off and fixed by a screw head screwed to the reel body. It is known to retain.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned fixing method using packing and screws requires a plurality of screws for retaining and fixing the bearing, which results in an increase in the number of parts, an increase in labor and manufacturing cost due to the assembling work, and an increase in quality. Currently, it can only be used for models.

In view of such circumstances, the present invention provides a fishing reel which achieves a waterproof and dustproof function of a shaft portion and a function of preventing a bearing from falling off with a simple structure and also reduces the manufacturing cost. It is the purpose.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a fishing reel having a rotating shaft rotatably supported by a bearing fitted to a reel body. A waterproof member having a contact portion for retaining the bearing that comes into contact and an annular contact portion that comes into contact with the peripheral surface of the rotating shaft is fitted and locked to the reel body so as to regulate the axial direction of the bearing and perform waterproofing. Wherein the rotating shaft is provided with a spool in a dual bearing type reel, and a spinning type reel is provided with a rotor for winding a fishing line around the spool, and furthermore, nitrile is used as the waterproofing member. It is preferable to use a soft resin such as rubber, styrene rubber, chloroprene rubber, and silicone rubber, but the material is not particularly limited as long as it is a resin material that can be elastically deformed. Member is preferred to fit locking detachably to the projecting tubular portion for supporting the bearing formed on the reel body.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Consists of opposed frames 2 and 2 'and side plates 3.3 and 3' respectively fitted to the outside thereof. A rotating shaft 5 provided with a spool 4 between the frames 2.2 and 2 'is rotated by bearings 6 and 7. Supported as possible.

The rotating shaft 5 is mounted on the frame 2 in a known manner.
And a handle shaft 9 having a handle 8 provided between the side plate 3 and a drive shaft mechanism 9, a clutch mechanism 11, and a drag mechanism 12 so as to be interlocked with each other. , Drive gear mechanism 1
0, the fishing line can be wound around the spool 4 via the clutch mechanism 11 and the rotating shaft 5, and the fishing line wound around the spool 4 can be fed out.

Thus, the bearing 6 is fitted and engaged from the spool side with a projecting tubular portion 13 formed inside the frame 2, and a tubular waterproof made of a soft synthetic resin is provided on the outside of the projecting tubular portion 13. The member 14 is fitted and locked to the engaging portion 13 'of the projecting cylindrical portion 13 via the engaging edge 14'.
Reference numeral 4 denotes a contact portion 1 for preventing the bearing from coming off, which is in contact with the side surface of the bearing 6.
5 and an annular contact portion 16 that contacts the peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5 are integrally formed.

Therefore, by merely fitting and locking the waterproof member 14 to the protruding cylindrical portion 13, the contact portion 15 for preventing the bearing from coming off restricts the bearing 6 in the axial direction to prevent the bearing 6 from coming off and to prevent the bearing 6 from being waterproof and dustproof. In addition, the annular contact portion 16 can perform a waterproof and dustproof action of water and the like entering from the spool side of the rotating shaft 5, and furthermore, the waterproof member 14 can be attached and detached during assembly or disassembling operation of the bearing 6 at the time of manufacture. Just can be quick and easy.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the fitting operation of the waterproof member 14 to the projecting cylindrical portion 13 is further facilitated, and an engaging projection 14 ″ formed on the inner peripheral surface of the waterproof member 14 is shown.
Is fitted into and engaged with an engaging groove 13 ″ provided on the periphery of the protruding cylindrical portion 13 so as to be detachable.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the present invention is applied to a spinning reel type, and a rotor 17 for locking a fishing line is
The inside of the rotary shaft 5 is formed to be hollow, and is configured to rotate in association with a handle shaft (not shown) and a pinion 18 as is well known, and a spool having a spool at the distal end portion in the hollow portion of the rotary shaft 5. The shaft 19 is reciprocally slidably fitted, and the rotor 17 is rotated through the rotating shaft 5 by a turning operation of a handle, so that the fishing line is wound around a reciprocating sliding spool.

The rotating shaft 5 is supported by a bearing 6 fitted and locked on the reel body 1 and a bearing 6 is mounted on the projecting cylindrical portion 13 of the reel body 1 fitted and locked with the bearing 6. An engaging member 13 ′ and an engaging edge 14 ′ of the protruding cylindrical portion 13 are provided with a prevention member 14 having a retaining contact portion 15 for regulating the axial direction of the shaft and an annular contact portion 16 for contacting the peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5. The bearing 6 is detachably fitted and latched through the same, and performs the function of preventing the bearing 6 from coming off and the function of waterproofing and dustproofing in the same manner as in the previous embodiment.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the waterproof member is detachably fitted to and engaged with the reel main body which supports and supports the bearing, and the contact member for retaining the bearing and the peripheral surface of the rotating shaft are fixed to the waterproof member. Since the annular contact part that contacts the shaft is integrally formed, it is possible to quickly and easily attach and detach the product during manufacturing assembly and disassembly while preventing the bearing from coming off, and also to ensure the waterproof and dustproof functions of the bearing and rotating shaft. In addition, the number of parts formed by integral formation can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
