Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly, to a fishing reel having a spool arranged in front of a reel body and a rotor for driving a fishing line to be wound around the spool, and having a fishing line insertion hole in the front center thereof. And a closed face reel including a cover member that covers the spool and the rotor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a fishing reel of the above type slides a rotor, which is biased rearward by a spring, to a front side by operating a clutch operating member provided on the reel body. At the same time, the fishing line locking pin, which is supported so as to project to the outer periphery of the rotor, is retracted into the rotor so that the fishing line can be discharged.
Normally, the fishing line locking pin is biased by a biasing spring in the direction of retracting to the inside of the rotor, and the engagement with the cam member formed on the front surface of the spool is released (the rotor is slid forwardly). It comes to retreat to the inside of the rotor. In this state, the fishing line is temporarily held between the fishing line locking body attached to the front side of the rotor and the inner surface of the cover member, and the fishing line locking is performed by releasing the clutch operating member at the same time as the operation of swinging down the fishing rod. The state is released and the device is thrown.

Then, when the clutch operating member is released during the throwing operation of this device, the rotor is slid back to the original position by the spring, and the cam member formed on the front surface of the spool and the fishing line locking body are in the engaged state. Then, when the rotor is rotated by the winding operation of the handle, the fishing line locking pin projects from the outer circumference of the rotor by the cam action.

In addition, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-101669,
A closed face reel that does not drive the rotor to slide is disclosed, and a sliding body is attached to the tip of the sliding shaft,
The fishing line locking pin is retracted into the rotor by moving the sliding body forward without moving the rotor in the axial direction. The fishing line locking pin is held by a plurality of spring members so as to be movable in the vertical and axial directions with respect to the rotor. When the fishing line locking pin is projected from the surface of the rotor, it is slid backward. The fishing line locking pin is tilted by the sliding body, and the lower end portion thereof is engaged with the cam portion formed on the spool.

[0005]

In the structure in which the rotor moves back and forth when the clutch is actuated as described above, a force larger than the spring force for urging the rotor, for example, when a large fish is caught or when the fishing line is engaged, When a large tension is applied,
There is a problem that the fishing line locking pin retracts into the rotor due to the rotor tilting or moving, and the clutch mechanism malfunctions. Then, in order to prevent such malfunction, it is possible to increase the spring force, but the frictional force applied to the rotor becomes large and the fishing line winding rotation becomes heavy and the clutch operation becomes heavy. Each operation will be hindered.

Incidentally, according to the above-mentioned known technique in which the rotor is not slidably driven, there is no inclination or movement of the rotor.
Although it is possible to prevent the clutch mechanism from malfunctioning due to this, since the fishing line locking pin is held so that it can be tilted, the support of the pin itself is not stable, and when a large tension is applied to the fishing line, the clutch mechanism The problem of malfunctioning is not solved. Further, in such a configuration, a plurality of spring members for stabilizing the position of the pin are required, the structure is complicated, the number of parts is increased, and further, a space for tilting the pin is required. Therefore, the dimension in the axial direction becomes large.

In any of the above-mentioned prior arts, the fishing line locking pin movably supported by the rotor is engaged with the cam portion formed on the spool, and when the rotor or the sliding body is advanced. Is disengaged and the fishing line locking pin is retracted. When the rotor or the sliding body is retracted, both are engaged and the fishing line locking pin is projected by the cam action by the rotation of the rotor. In this way, since the cam surface is formed on the spool, the axial dimension becomes large, and if the drag mechanism is incorporated in the spool, the spool will rotate when the drag force is set to be suppressed. , There is a problem that the clutch cannot be returned smoothly.

The present invention has been made on the basis of the above-mentioned problems, and operates the clutch mechanism stably.
An object of the present invention is to provide a closed face reel that can be downsized in the axial direction.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a closed face reel according to the present invention comprises a spool supported on a front portion of a reel body and a fishing line locking pin for guiding a fishing line to the spool. A rotor movably supported in a radial direction and a cylinder shaft rotatably supported by the reel body and having a pinion meshed with a drive gear rotated by an operation of a handle are provided, and cover the spool and the rotor. In addition, in a configuration in which a cover member having a fishing line insertion hole in the center of the front part is attached to the front part of the reel body, the rotor is integrally rotatable with respect to the cylinder shaft and is not movable in the axial direction. And a cam shaft formed on the cam member, in which a sliding shaft having a cam member separate from the rotor is disposed in the cylindrical shaft so as to be slidable and non-rotatable in the axial direction. By Te, characterized in that the line clip pin and retractable controlled with respect to the rotor.

As described above, since the rotor is configured to be immovable in the axial direction, even if a strong tension is applied to the fishing line, the rotor does not tilt or move via the fishing line locking pin. The malfunction of the clutch mechanism is prevented. The cam member for retracting the fishing line locking pin from the rotor is attached to the tip of the sliding shaft that slides with respect to the rotor in the axially fixed state, and is not provided on the spool. As a result, the reel body can be downsized in the axial direction.

The cam member 25 is formed in a substantially truncated cone shape, and a back surface 25a on the reel body side is provided with a cam portion 25b that guides a fishing line locking pin, which will be described later, in a radially outward direction. There is. The cam member 25 in this embodiment is configured to hold the fishing line S between the front surface 25c and the inner surface of the cover member, which will be described later, during the fishing line discharging operation. A recess 25d is formed in the central region of the back surface 25a so that a nut for fixing a rotor, which will be described below, is positioned during the fishing line winding operation.

On the tip end side of the cylinder shaft 15, a lid-shaped rotor 30 having an opening on the spool side is attached by a nut 31 so as to rotate integrally with the cylinder shaft 15 and to be immovable in the axial direction. By rotating the handle, the circumferential wall 30a of the face gear 11 and the pinion 15a is rotated around the spool 3 by rotating the handle. A recess 30c is formed in the center region of the front wall 30b of the rotor 30, and the cam member 25 is positioned in the recess during the fishing line winding operation.

A fishing line locking pin 35 is provided on the circumferential wall 30a of the rotor 30 so as to be retractable from the surface thereof. Fishing line locking pin 35 in the present embodiment
Is constituted by a main body portion 35a located in the rotor and engaged with the cam portion 25b of the cam member 25, and a pin 35b located in the hole 30d formed in the circumferential wall 30a and picking up the fishing line. The main body 35a
A long hole 35c extending in the radial direction is formed in the. The front wall 30b of the rotor 30 is inserted into the long hole 35c.
A support screw 36 that is screwed in is provided, whereby the fishing line locking pin 35 is supported by the rotor 30 so as to be movable in the radial direction.

A urging spring 38 is provided between the main body portion 35a and the inner surface of the circumferential wall 30a, and the fishing line locking pin 35 is always kept radially inward (the direction in which the pin 35b is inserted). ).

A cover member 40, which covers the spool 3 and the rotor 30 and has a fishing line insertion hole 40a for leading out the fishing line S in the front side, is detachably arranged on the front side of the reel body 2. Has been done. In this case, the fishing line S wound around the spool 3 is led out from the fishing line insertion hole 40a through a gap between the circumferential wall 30a of the rotor 30 and the inner surface of the cover member 40.

A clutch operating lever 51 is rotatably supported by a support shaft 50 on the base of the leg portion 2a formed on the reel body 2. This clutch operating lever 5
1 has one end of a support shaft extending forward from the reel body, and an operation portion 51a that can be operated while holding a fishing rod is formed at the end thereof. Further, the other end side of the support shaft extends into the reel body, and an operating portion 51b is formed at the end portion of the support shaft, which abuts against the rear end of the sliding shaft 20. An urging spring 53 is held between the spindle and the reel unit 2, and the clutch operating lever 51 is connected to the urging spring 53.
Are always biased in the counterclockwise direction in FIG.

The operation and effect of the closed face reel configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

1 and 2 show a state in which the fishing line can be wound up. The fishing line S is wound around the spool 3 by being locked by the pin 35b of the fishing line locking pin 35 and rotationally driving the rotor 30. To be done. At this time, the main body portion 35a of the fishing line locking pin 35 is in contact with the outermost periphery of the cam member 25, and the pin 35b resists the urging force of the urging spring 38 to form the surface of the circumferential wall 30a of the rotor 30. Protruding from (Fig. 6
(See (a)).

When the operating portion 51a of the clutch operating lever 51 is rotated upward from this state, the operating portion 51b rotates clockwise against the urging force of the urging spring 53, as shown in FIGS. Is rotated in the direction to urge the sliding shaft 20 to urge the spring 2
It is moved to the spool side against the biasing force of 2. Along with this, the cam member 25 is also moved integrally, and the fishing line locking pin 3
5 is disengaged from the lower end of the main body portion 35a of the cam member 25 and protrudes from the circumferential wall 30a of the rotor 30, the pin 35b is rotated by the urging force of the urging spring 38.
It sinks inside 0 (see FIG. 6 (b)).

As described above, since the cam member 25 has a fishing line holding function, the fishing line S is held between the surface 25c of the cam member and the inner surface of the cover member 40, and the fishing line insertion hole is provided. It is derived from 40a.

In this state, when the finger is removed from the operating portion 51a of the operating lever 51 while casting the fishing rod, the fishing line holding state is released and the tackle is released. At this time, the sliding shaft 20 and the operating lever 51 are connected to each urging spring 2
The cam member 25 is returned to the state shown in FIG. 5 by the urging forces of 2, 53, and the cam portion 25b of the cam member 25 can give a cam action to the main body portion 35a of the fishing line locking pin. Has become.

When the handle is wound up, the rotor 30 is rotationally driven in the clockwise direction in FIG. 6 (c), so that the pin 35b is driven by the lower end of the main body portion 35a and the cam action of the cam portion 25b. The fishing line S is picked up by protruding from the circumferential wall 30a of the rotor 30 against the biasing force of the biasing spring 38. Then, by further winding the handle, the fishing line is wound around the spool 3 while being guided by the pin 35b of the rotor 30.

According to the above-mentioned structure, since the member (cam member 25) for locking the fishing line at the time of discharging the fishing line is attached to the front part of the sliding shaft 20 to make the rotor 30 immovable in the axial direction, the tension of the fishing line is increased. Thus, malfunction of the clutch due to tilting of the rotor or axial movement is eliminated. Further, since the fishing line is held by the cam member 25 when the fishing line is discharged, it is not necessary to lock the fishing line with a finger, and a series of operations from clutch operation to fishing line discharging can be smoothly performed.

Further, as in the prior art, since the spool 3 does not have the cam portion for advancing and retracting the fishing line locking pin, when the drag mechanism is incorporated in the spool, even when the drag force is set to be suppressed, The clutch can be restored smoothly. Further, since no cam for advancing and retracting the fishing line locking pin 35 is formed in the front portion of the spool 3, the axial dimension of the reel unit can be reduced. Further, the fishing line locking pin 35 is configured to move only in the radial direction, and is not supported by a plurality of springs, but is supported by the elongated hole 35c and the support screw 36 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. Since this is a form, the number of parts is small, the supporting state is stable, the axial dimension of the reel unit is small, and malfunction of the clutch mechanism due to malfunction of the pin 35b can be prevented.

FIGS. 7A and 7B are views showing a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7A shows a fishing line winding state,
(B) is a figure which shows a fishing line discharge state.

In this embodiment, the cam member 25 described above is used.
Is configured so that the fishing line is not clamped between the fishing line and the inner surface of the cover member 40 when the fishing line is discharged. For this reason,
Through holes 55a and 55b for inserting fishing lines are formed in front of and behind the operating portion 51a of the operating lever 51.
The fishing line S derived from the fishing line insertion hole 40a of the cover member 40.
When the finger is pressed against the operation section 51a by inserting the
The fishing line can be held between the surface of the operation part.

With such a structure, the axial stroke of the cam member 25 can be shortened, and the reel unit can be miniaturized in the axial direction. Also,
Along with this, the fishing line insertion hole 40a can be increased in diameter, and it becomes possible to make it difficult for the fishing line to have a peculiar tendency. Furthermore, in such a configuration, since the finger can be kept in contact with the fishing line S at all times, the summing performance can be improved.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, in the present invention, the rotor is immovable in the axial direction, and the cam member for controlling the fishing line locking pin to slide in and out slides in the cylindrical shaft for rotationally driving the rotor. It suffices if it is provided at the tip of the sliding shaft.
Therefore, the fishing line locking pin, the shape of the cam member, and the like can be appropriately modified.

[0033]

According to the present invention, even if a strong tension is applied to the fishing line, the rotor does not move or tilt in the axial direction, and a clutch mechanism with stable operation can be obtained. Further, the reel body can be downsized in the axial direction.
