Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a closed face reel equipped with a front cover for covering a spool provided on a front portion of a reel unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a closed face reel is
A spool supported by the reel body and a rotor for winding the fishing line around the spool are provided, and a bowl-shaped cover member (front cover) that covers the spool and the rotor and has a fishing line insertion hole formed in the front center is provided. The rotor rotates around the spool by transmitting the rotational drive of the drive gear provided on the handle shaft to the pinion provided on the drive shaft on which the rotor is mounted. ing.

Such a closed face reel is
By operating the clutch operating member provided on the reel unit, the rotor is slid forward, whereby the fishing line locking pin supported by the rotor is retracted into the rotor to enable the fishing line to be discharged, and the front side of the rotor The fishing line is sandwiched between the fishing line locking body attached to the front cover and the back surface of the front cover. Then, in this state, by releasing the clutch operating member at the same time as the throwing operation, the fishing line releasing operation can be performed.

In the closed face reel of the above-mentioned type, a reverse rotation preventing device for preventing the reverse rotation of the rotor is incorporated, and normally, the reverse rotation preventing device is mounted on a ratchet arranged on the handle shaft. It is general to prevent the rotor from rotating in the reverse direction by engaging a claw supported by the reel unit.

[0005]

However, in the above-described reverse rotation preventing device, since the ratchet or the like is arranged on the handle shaft, the reel main body becomes large.

Further, since the ratchet and pawl engagement method is used, there is a large amount of rattling at the time of preventing reverse rotation, and in particular, the reverse rotation of the rotor is prevented by the ratchet and pawl on the handle shaft via the pinion and the drive gear. The backlash of the rotor becomes large, and further, the meshing portion between the tooth surface of the pinion and the tooth surface of the drive gear is apt to be damaged, and the durability of the gear is deteriorated.

Further, as described above, since the backlash of the rotor is large, dandruff is likely to occur, and as a result, the fishing line falls off from the fishing line locking pin, causing troubles such as winding failure and entanglement. easy. Furthermore, since the diameter of the fishing line winding body of the spool is reduced in order to secure the amount of line winding, the fishing line is likely to have a habit, and resistance is likely to occur when the fishing line is discharged. In particular, in the closed face reel, since the resistance of the cover member is large, if a twist occurs, the contact resistance between the closed face reel and the cover member becomes large, and the throwing distance of the tackle is greatly shortened.

The present invention has been made on the basis of the above-mentioned problems, and the size of the reel unit can be reduced, and
An object of the present invention is to provide a closed face reel in which backlash during reverse rotation of a rotor is reduced and troubles such as dandruff and thread entanglement are less likely to occur.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a closed face reel of the present invention is supported by a front portion of a reel body, and has a fishing line winding body portion and flange portions formed before and after the fishing line winding body portion. And a rotor configured to wind a fishing line on the spool, and a pinion that meshes with a drive gear that is rotated by the drive of a handle rotatably supported by the reel unit. The mounted drive shaft, the reverse rotation preventing device for preventing the rotor from rotating in the fishing line feeding direction, the spool and the rotor are attached to the front part of the reel body so as to cover the fishing line insertion hole at the center of the front part. And a cover member, wherein the reverse rotation preventing device is a rolling one-way clutch, and the one-way clutch is located between the spool and the drive shaft. Because, and at least a part is characterized by being arranged such that the front of the side flanges after said spool.

As described above, the reverse rotation preventing device is a rolling type one-way clutch, and the reverse rotation of the rotor is not directly prevented through the pinion and the drive gear, but can be directly prevented. There is no rattling of the rotor in. In addition, the reel unit is small in size because it is arranged between the spool and the drive shaft and at least part of which is located in front of the end face of the rear flange of the spool without providing it on the handle shaft portion. Be converted.

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.

In the spool 3 of the present embodiment, the fishing line winding body 3a has a large diameter, and the internal space formed by this is used to dispose the rolling type one-way clutch 60 serving as a rotor reverse rotation preventing device. I have set up. That is, the rolling type one-way clutch 60 is interposed between the spool 3 and the cylinder shaft 15. Specifically, the outer ring side is the cylinder shaft 2c.
Further, the inner ring side is engaged with the tubular shaft 15 in a non-rotating manner so that the tubular shaft 15 can be rotated only in one direction (the fishing line winding direction) by a wedge action. In this case, at least a part (a part of the unit) of the one-way clutch 60 overlaps with the end surface P of the rear flange 3c of the spool 3 (so that at least a part thereof is located in front of the end surface P). It is arranged.

The operation and effect of the closed face reel configured as above will be described. The fishing line is wound around the spool 3 by being locked by the pin 35b of the fishing line locking pin 35 and by rotationally driving the rotor 30. 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.

When the operating portion 51a of the clutch operating lever 51 is rotated upward from this state, the operating portion 51b is rotated clockwise against the urging force of the urging spring 53, and the sliding shaft 20 is rotated. Is moved to the spool side against the urging force of the urging spring 22. Along with this, the cam member 25 is also moved integrally, the lower end of the main body portion 35a of the fishing line locking pin 35 and the cam member 25 are disengaged, and the circumferential wall 30 of the rotor 30 is released.
The pin 35b projecting from a has a biasing spring 38
It is sunk into the rotor 30 by the urging force of.

At this time, the fishing line S is the surface 25 of the cam member.
It is sandwiched between c and the inner surface of the cover member 40, and is led out from the fishing line insertion hole 40a. In this state, the operating portion 51 of the operating lever 51 while casting the fishing rod.
When the finger is released from a, the fishing line holding state is released and the tackle is released. In addition, the sliding shaft 20 and the operating lever 51 move the respective biasing springs 22,
The cam member 25 is returned to the original position by the biasing force of 53, and the cam portion 25b of the cam member 25 is in a state capable of exerting a cam action on the main body portion 35a of the fishing line locking pin.

When the handle is wound up, the rotor 30 is driven to rotate, and the pin 35b is fixed to the main body 35a.
The lower end of the spring and the cam action of the cam portion 25b cause the biasing spring 3 to move.
The fishing line is wound around the spool 3 while being guided by the pin 35b of the rotor 30 by picking up the fishing line by projecting from the circumferential wall 30a of the rotor 30 against the urging force of the rotor 8 and further winding the handle. Go away.

Further, since the rolling type one-way clutch 60 is engaged with the cylindrical shaft 15 to which the rotor 30 is attached, the rotor 30 is prevented from rotating in the fishing line feeding direction.
In this case, the rolling type one-way clutch 6 as a reverse rotation preventing device is provided in the space created by increasing the diameter of the spool 3.
By arranging 0, the reel body 2 can be downsized in the front-rear direction, and since the ratchet and the claws are not provided on the handle shaft unlike the conventional case, the reel body 2 can be downsized as a whole. Can be converted. In order to reduce the size of the reel unit 2 in this manner, at least a part of the reel unit 2 may be disposed so as to overlap with the end surface P of the rear flange 3c of the spool 3, and more preferably, the one-way clutch 6 is used.
It suffices that it is arranged so that the entire 0 is in front of the end face P.

Further, since the reverse rotation preventing device is the rolling type one-way clutch and the reverse rotation of the rotor 30 is directly prevented, the backlash of the rotor 30 at the time of preventing the reverse rotation is reduced and the pinion 15a is formed. The impact on the meshing portion with the drive gear 11 is mitigated, and its durability is improved. Since the reverse rotation play of the rotor 30 is reduced and the diameter of the winding body 3a is increased, the fishing line is prevented from falling off the fishing line locking pin 35b due to a dandruff, a habit, etc. It is possible to eliminate the yarn entanglement that occurs in.

The above-mentioned rolling type one-way clutch 6
Reverse rotation prevention state (ON) and reverse rotation possible state (OFF)
It is also possible to provide a switching mechanism capable of switching the. That is, an operation lever is provided so as to project from the reel unit 2, and the switching mechanism is turned on by operating this operation lever.
You may make it drive off / off. By doing so, the handle can be reversely rotated.
