Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing spinning reel, and more particularly to a fishing spinning reel having an improved bail arm mechanism.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a spinning reel for fishing has a structure including a rotor that rotates in association with a winding and rotating operation of a handle and a spool that moves back and forth by the winding and rotating operation of the handle. A pair of support arms that rotate around the spool are attached to the. A bail support member is reversibly supported at the front of each of the pair of support arms, and a fishing line guide portion is formed on one of the bail support members, and a fishing line introduction portion is provided near the fishing line guide portion. The bail is formed and is supported between the other bail support member and the fishing line introducing portion.

In the above structure, when the handle is wound and driven, the fishing line is evenly wound around the spool that moves back and forth through the fishing line guide portion that rotates together with the rotor. When releasing the fishing line, the bale is raised from the fishing line winding position to the fishing line releasing position (the bail support member is inverted), and in this state, the fishing rod is swung down vigorously, whereby the fishing line moves from the spool depending on the weight of the tackle. It is released in a fixed amount. After the tackle has reached the water, by returning the bail support member (rotation operation of the handle in the winding direction or manual return operation), the fishing line moves from the fishing line introducing section to the fishing line guiding section along the bale. Then, depending on the situation, the handle is wound to wind the fishing line on the spool.

By the way, in the bale mechanism having the above structure, the pair of bail support members and the bail are generally made of a metal material from the viewpoint of increasing the strength and preventing scratches. However, if these members are made of a metal material, the weight becomes heavy, which causes a problem that tires are easily tired from fishing for a long time and it is difficult to balance the rotation of the rotor.

In order to solve such a problem, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 187268/1983 proposes that at least the bale among the members constituting the bale mechanism is made of a resin material having elasticity. Further, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 7-23679 proposes molding a veil with a reinforced fiber resin.

As described above, when the veil is made of the resin material, the weight of the reel can be reduced, the rotation of the rotor can be easily balanced, and the handle rotation can be reduced.

[0007]

However, when the veil is made of a resin material, the surface of the veil is easily scratched when the reel is dropped or when the reel is brought into contact with an obstacle. Such scratches reduce the strength of the veil and may cause damage to the veil.

In addition, when the bail is scratched, when the bale is inverted and the fishing line is scooped by the bale, the fishing line is caught by the scratch and it is difficult to reliably guide the fishing line to the fishing line guide portion. There is.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a spinning for fishing which is lightweight, inexpensive, suitable for mass production, and equipped with a bail mechanism that is not easily scratched and has excellent durability. To provide reels.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a spool supported by a reel body, a rotor rotatably supported by the reel body, and a reversibly mounted rotor. Further, in a fishing spinning reel comprising a fishing line guide member for guiding a fishing line to the spool, at least a part of the fishing line guide member is formed by applying metal plating to a surface of a main body made of resin. Is characterized by.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fishing spinning reel 1 according to the present embodiment has a reel body 1
a, a leg portion 1b extending from the reel unit 1a, and a leg portion 1
It has a rod attaching portion 1c formed at the end of b and attached to the reel attaching portion B of the fishing rod A. Reel body 1
A handle shaft (not shown) to which the handle 5 is fixed is rotatably supported in a. A drive gear (not shown) is fixed to the handle shaft, and the drive gear has a tubular pinion gear extending in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft and rotatably supported by the reel unit 1a. (Not shown) meshes. A rotor 8 rotatably supported by the reel unit 1a is integrally attached to the tip of the pinion gear. The bail 6 is supported on the rotor 8 via a bail support member, which will be described later, so that the bail 6 can be turned and rotated between a fishing line discharging (feeding) position and a fishing line winding position.

A spool shaft (not shown) extending in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft passes through the pinion gear. In this case, the spool shaft is arranged concentrically with the pinion gear and can be moved back and forth along a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft. A spool 10 around which fishing line is wound is attached to the tip of the spool shaft. When the handle shaft is rotated by rotating the handle 5, the spool shaft is reciprocally driven (moved back and forth) in the axial direction via an oscillating mechanism (not shown).

Therefore, in such a construction, when the bail 6 is reversed to the fishing line discharging position and the fishing line is removed from the line roller 24 which will be described later, the fishing rod A is swung down (casting) to the spool 10. The wound fishing line is released (the device is thrown). Next, when the handle 5 is rotated from this state, the bail 6 is reversed and returned to the fishing line winding position, the handle shaft is rotated, and the spool 10 attached to the spool shaft via the oscillating mechanism is rotated. While reciprocating back and forth, the rotor 8 is rotationally driven via the drive gear and the pinion gear. Therefore, in the spool 10,
The fishing line is evenly wound via the line roller 24.

In the present embodiment, as an example of the base metal layer 41, a nickel layer made of a nickel material is applied. On the other hand, the outer coating layer 42 is, for example, composed of a copper layer, a nickel layer, and a chromium layer sequentially laminated on the underlying metal layer 41 by continuously electrolytically plating copper, nickel, and chromium. It

In the second example, a veil base material 40 injection-molded using a glass fiber reinforced ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) resin mixed with a desired amount of reinforcing fibers is used. On the surface (outer peripheral surface) of the bale base material 40, a coating layer composed of a plurality of layers is plated to a desired thickness. In this example, the coating layer is the surface (outer peripheral surface) of the veil base material 40 as in the first example.

For example, in the embodiment described above, the fishing line introducing portion 26, the swing arm 23, and the bail 6 are all formed by applying the metal plating 41 to the surface of the main body 40 made of resin. At least one of the oscillating arm 23 and the bail 6 is provided on the surface of the main body 40 made of resin by metal plating
It may be formed by applying 1. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the fishing line introducing portion 26 and the swing arm 23.
Although the bail 6 and the bail 6 are integrally formed, the swing arm 2
3 and the bail 6 may be integrally formed and the fishing line introducing portion 26 may be formed separately from them, or the fishing line introducing portion 26 and the bail 6 may be integrally formed and the swing arm 2
3 may be formed separately from these, and as shown in FIG. 8, the fishing line introducing portion 26, the swing arm 23, and the bail 6 may all be formed separately. Further, in the above-described embodiment, a material having a higher specific gravity than the material of the swing arm 23 is insert-molded in the swing arm 23, but the swing arm 23 may be formed of a high specific gravity resin. If the swing arm 23 is made of high specific gravity resin, it can be integrally formed with the bail 6 by ordinary injection molding without insert molding.
