Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a spinning reel for fishing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, spinning reels for fishing have
A reverse rotation prevention device is provided to prevent the rotor from rotating in the fishing line feeding direction (reverse rotation direction). This reverse rotation preventing device operates in accordance with the operation of the switching mechanism (rotor reverse rotation prevention state: ON) and non-operational state (rotor reverse rotation possible state: O).
FF).

By the way, such a spinning reel may be used in a state in which the reverse rotation preventing device is turned off (the rotor is set in the reverse rotation possible state) in order to catch the fish while running. . However, in this case, when the caught fish runs offshore or toward the roots,
Since the handle and rotor rotate in reverse at high speed, it is not possible to immediately shift to the winding operation, and when the running fish suddenly stops, the rotor overruns and backlash phenomenon (thread dander) etc. occurs. May occur.

Therefore, some spinning reels have a braking mechanism for applying a braking force to the reverse rotation of the rotor. According to such a braking mechanism, the reverse rotation of the rotor can be controlled according to the fishing situation such as the fish species and the fish fight situation, so that the caught fish can be caught without trouble. Spinning reels having the braking mechanism are disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3.

The spinning reel disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-242242 has a braking plate that rotates in conjunction with the reverse rotation of the rotor,
An operation lever provided on the leg of the reel body and applying a braking force to the braking plate, and a reverse rotation preventing gear that rotates integrally with the rotor are provided. A locking claw is always locked to the reverse rotation prevention gear by the urging force of a spring, which prevents reverse rotation of the rotor. When the operating lever is pulled up, the locking claw is disengaged from the reverse rotation prevention gear against the biasing force of the spring, and the rotor can be rotated in reverse, and the braking force is applied to the rotating rotor through the braking plate. Granted. That is, the rotor is switched from the reverse rotation prevention state to the reverse rotation possible state in conjunction with the operation of the operation lever (the rotor reverse rotation prevention state is automatically released during reverse rotation braking of the rotor).

Further, the spinning reel disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a braking plate that rotates integrally with the rotor through a one-way clutch only when the rotor rotates in the reverse direction, and a braking plate that is provided on a leg portion of the reel body and is a braking plate. An operation lever for applying a braking force, and a reverse rotation preventing gear that rotates integrally with the rotor are provided. In addition, this spinning reel has a reverse rotation preventing position where the reverse rotation preventing gear is locked with a locking pawl to prevent the rotor from rotating in reverse, and a reverse rotation enabling position where the locking pawl is removed from the reverse rotation preventing gear to allow the rotor to reverse. It has a switching lever that can be switched between. When the operation lever is pulled up while the switching lever is located at the reverse rotation prevention position, the switching lever is switched to the reverse rotation possible position in conjunction with this, so that the locking claw is disengaged from the reverse rotation prevention gear. It has become. Further, the spinning reel disclosed in Patent Document 3 is provided with a braking plate that rotates integrally with the rotor through a one-way clutch only when the rotor rotates in the reverse direction, and a braking force that is provided on the leg portion of the reel unit and that is applied to the braking plate. An operating lever for applying and a holding lever for holding a state where the braking force is applied to the braking plate by the operating lever are provided.

In the structure of the spinning reel disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the operating lever is returned to the original position to some extent, the locking claw engages with the reverse rotation preventing gear by the biasing force of the spring. I will end up. That is, when the operation lever is strongly pulled, the reverse rotation of the rotor can be braked, but when the pulling force of the operation lever is weakened or the operation lever is released, the reverse rotation of the rotor is prevented. Will end up. Therefore, it is impossible to apply weak braking to the reverse rotation of the rotor or to freely rotate the rotor in reverse without braking, and it is difficult to perform delicate interaction with the fish. Therefore, there is a risk that the big ones will be separated.

Further, in the case of the spinning reel disclosed in Patent Document 2, the rotor can be switched from the reverse rotation prevention state to the reverse rotation possible state by both the switching lever and the operation lever, but the rotor reverse rotation possible state. The switching from the reverse rotation prevention state can be performed only by the switching lever. Therefore, when switching from the reverse rotation possible state to the reverse rotation prevention state due to the situation change during actual fishing, it is necessary to operate the switching lever with the finger of the hand opposite to the hand operating the operation lever. It is bad, and it is difficult and quick to interact with fish. In particular, when holding a net or the like with the hand opposite to the hand operating the operating lever, the switching lever cannot be operated, and there is a risk that the fish will fall apart.

Also, in the case of the spinning reel disclosed in Patent Document 3, there is a problem in operability because it is necessary to properly use the operating lever and the holding lever at the time of actual fishing. In addition, since the two levers are provided so as to project largely from the reel unit, the reel as a whole becomes large and there is a problem in portability.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide both a reverse rotation braking force adjusting state of the rotor and a rotor reverse rotation preventing state or a rotor reverse rotation braking holding state. An object of the present invention is to provide a spinning reel for fishing, which can be easily and quickly switched to have good operability.

[0014]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a rotor for winding a fishing line on a spool that moves back and forth by a rotating operation of a handle provided on a reel body via a fishing line guide device. , A brake rotor that is connected to the rotor via a one-way clutch and that rotates integrally with the rotor when the rotor rotates in the reverse direction with respect to the direction in which the fishing line is wound, and when the rotor rotates in the reverse direction. In a fishing spinning reel capable of braking the rotor via the brake rotor, an operating lever having a finger hooked operation portion at one end and rotatably provided on a leg portion of the reel body, At the end, by operating a control member provided in the reel body, an engaging position for applying a constant resistance force to the reverse rotation of the rotor through the brake rotor, and a brake roller. To release the resistance from data in both positions of the spaced apart position to allow forward and reverse rotation of the rotor, characterized in that the control member and can be switched.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention.
2 shows an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the fishing spinning reel 1 of the present embodiment includes a reel body 1a,
It has a leg portion 1b extending from the reel body 1a, and a rod attaching portion 1c formed at an end of the leg portion 1b and attached to a fishing rod (not shown). A handle shaft 2 is rotatably supported in the reel body 1a, and a handle (not shown) is fixed to an end of the handle shaft 2 protruding from the reel body 1a.

A drive gear 3 is attached to the handle shaft 2, and the handle shaft 2 is attached to the drive gear 3.
A pinion gear 13 that extends in a direction orthogonal to and is rotatably supported via a bearing 11 is meshed. A rotor 8 including a bail 6 and a fishing line guide device 15 is integrally attached to a tip end portion of the pinion gear 13.

A spool shaft 9 slidably supported in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft 2 is inserted inside the pinion gear 13, and a fishing line is wound around the tip of the spool shaft 9. The spool 10 is detachably attached. An oscillating mechanism 19 is engaged with the drive gear 3. This oscillating mechanism 19
Drives the spool shaft 9 back and forth along the axial direction when the handle shaft 2 is rotated by rotating the handle.

In such a structure, when the handle shaft 2 is rotated by rotating the handle, the spool 10 attached to the spool shaft 9 via the oscillating mechanism 19 reciprocates back and forth and the drive gear 3 The rotor 8 is rotationally driven via the pinion gear 13.
Therefore, the fishing line is evenly wound around the spool 10 via the fishing line guide device 15.

Further, the reel unit 1a is provided with a braking mechanism for applying a braking force to the reverse rotation of the rotor 8 and a reverse rotation preventing mechanism for preventing the reverse rotation of the rotor 8. These mechanisms are operated by an operation lever 5 rotatably attached to the leg 1b via a support shaft 7. Operating lever 5
An operation portion 5a on which a finger can be hooked is formed at one end portion of the. In addition, the operation lever 5 located in the reel body 1a
A pressing plate 14 is attached to the other end of the via a screw 12. A pressing portion 1 that presses a brake shoe 17 of a braking mechanism, which will be described later, is provided at an end of the pressing plate 14.
4a is formed.

As will be described later, when the operating lever 5 is pushed up in the direction A from the initial position shown in FIG. 1, the brake shoe 17 is pressed by the pressing portion 14a to operate the braking mechanism and the operating lever 5 When is pushed down from the initial position in the B direction, the reverse rotation preventing mechanism operates. In addition, the pressing plate 14 and the reel body 1a
A tension spring 16 is provided between the bracket 18 and the bracket 18 to constantly hold the operation lever 5 at the initial position. Therefore, when the operating lever 5 is pushed up in the direction A (clockwise) about the support shaft 7 and then the operating force is released,
The operation lever 5 is returned to the initial position by the biasing force of the spring 16.

As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 2, the braking mechanism for applying the braking force to the reverse rotation of the rotor 8 includes a one-way clutch 2
The brake rotor 31 attached to the pinion gear 13 via 0, the ring-shaped brake plate (brake disc) 33 attached and fixed to the surface of the brake rotor 31 via a screw, and so as to straddle the brake plate 33. It is provided with a pressure contact piece 35 that is arranged and supported by the frame 1f of the reel unit 1a, and a brake shoe 17 that is movably held by the frame 1f and that slides in a direction in which it can press contact with the braking plate 33, for example, a wooden shoe. .

The one-way clutch 20 includes a pinion gear 13
It has an inner ring 21 that is fitted to prevent rotation, a retainer 27 that is arranged outside the inner ring 21, and an outer ring 25 that is arranged outside the retainer 27. The cage 27 holds a plurality of rolling members, and each rolling member is biased in one direction by a spring member provided on the cage 27. Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 25, a free rotation area where each rolling member can freely rotate and a wedge area which prevents the rotation of each rolling member are formed. In the one-way clutch 20 having such a configuration, when the inner ring 21 rotates normally with the pinion gear 13 (the rotor 8 rotates in the line winding direction), the rolling member of the retainer 27 is positioned in the free rotation region of the outer ring 25. Therefore, the rotational force of the inner ring 21 is not transmitted to the outer ring 25. However, when the inner ring 21 rotates in reverse with the pinion gear 13 (the rotor 8 rotates in the yarn feeding direction), the cage 2
7 rolling members are located in the wedge region of the outer ring 25 and the inner ring 21
Is transmitted to the outer ring 25.

A holder 29 is press-fitted onto the outer periphery of the outer ring 25. A brake rotor 31 is non-rotatably fitted on the outer periphery of the holding body 29. Specifically, on the outer peripheral surface of the holding body 29, a plurality of projecting portions 29a ... Which are arranged at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction of the holding body 29 are formed, and between the projecting portions 29a, 29a. Is fitted with each of a plurality of extending portions 31a extending from the brake rotor 31 along the axial direction of the spool shaft 9. That is, the brake rotor 31 includes the protruding portion 29a and the extending portion 31.
It engages with the holding body 29 in a non-rotatable manner by meshing with a and can move only in the axial direction with respect to the holding body 29.

When the pressing force acting from the operating lever 5 via the brake shoe 17 is released, the brake rotor 31 is axially moved along the holding body 29 by the urging force of the spring 61 (see FIG. 2). It is moved and returned to the initial position shown in FIG.

According to the above-described connecting structure of the pinion gear 13 and the brake rotor 31 via the one-way clutch 20, the brake rotor 31 and the holding body 29 are unidirectional only when the pinion gear 13 rotates in the reverse direction. It is directly connected to the pinion gear 13 (hence, the rotor 8) via the clutch 20 and rotates integrally with the rotor 8.

At the periphery of the back surface of the brake rotor 31,
A plurality (eg, 8) arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction.
Individual) engaging projections 40 are formed to project. Each engaging protrusion 40 has an engaging claw 4 which will be described later when the rotor 8 rotates in the reverse direction.
A tapered surface that guides 3a into the gap between the engaging protrusions 40 and a stopper surface that abuts the engaging claw 43a located in the gap between the engaging protrusions 40 are formed.

On the other hand, a rotating member 43 is rotatably supported on the rotor 8 via a pin 42 toward the brake rotor 31 side. At one end of the rotating member 43, the engaging protrusion 4
Engaging claws 43a that can engage with the gap between 0 are bent and formed. Further, the rotor 8 is formed with two bosses protruding toward the brake rotor 31 side for restricting the rotation of the rotating member 43 in each direction. Further, the rotating member 43 has a U
A groove cut into a letter is formed, and in this groove,
The end portion of the leaf spring 45 wound and held so as to cling to the holding body 29 is fixed.

The reverse rotation preventing mechanism for preventing the reverse rotation of the rotor 8 is provided with an operating body 50 protruding from the other end of the operating lever 5 or the pressing plate 14, and a supporting shaft 52 rotatably supported by the operating body 50. Control cam 54 rotated by
A locking claw 56 that is movably held on the frame 1f of the reel unit 1a and that is moved toward the braking plate 33 by the rotation of the control cam 54; and a locking claw formed and locked on the inner peripheral surface of the braking plate 33. It is composed of a plurality of locking grooves 33a that mesh with the claws 56. The control cam 54 has first and second contact portions 54 a and 54 b that contact the actuation body 50, and a third contact portion 54 c that contacts the locking claw 56. First contact portion 5
4a and the second contact portion 54b, the actuation body 50 is positioned, and the third contact portion 54c contacts the protruding portion 56a protruding laterally from the end of the locking claw 56. ing. The control cam 54 is constantly urged in the rotation direction by a distribution spring 58 provided between the control cam 54 and the bracket 18. Further, the locking claw 56 is constantly urged by a spring 57 wound around the support shaft 52 in a direction to engage with the locking groove 33 a of the braking plate 33.

In the above structure, when the operation lever 5 is located at the initial position shown in FIG. 1, the urging force of the distribution spring 58 (in the direction of rotating the control cam 54 counterclockwise in the drawing). 1) of the control cam 54 by
The contact portion 54a of the third contact portion 54c is in contact with the actuating body 50 and is in contact with the protruding portion 56a of the locking claw 56.
Holds the locking claw 56 in a state of being separated from the braking plate 33 against the biasing force of the spring 57. Further, the operation lever 5 is pushed down in the B direction from the initial position (see FIG. 4).
Then, the actuation body 50 rotates the control cam 54 clockwise in the figure against the biasing force of the distribution spring 58. At this time, the distribution spring 58 swings with the rotation of the control cam 54, but when the dead point is exceeded, a biasing force is applied to the control cam 54 in a direction to rotate the control cam 54 clockwise. Like Therefore, after that, the control cam 54
Regardless of the actuation body 50, the urging force of the allocating spring 58 causes it to rotate clockwise. As a result, the first contact portion 54a is separated from the actuating body 50, and the third contact portion 54a
The locking claw 56 that abuts on the abutting portion 54c is moved toward the braking plate 33. Then, the locking claw 56 meshes with the locking groove 33a of the braking plate 33, and the second abutting portion 54b engages with the operating member 5.
The rotation of the control cam 54 is stopped when the control cam 54 comes into contact with 0. That is, the engagement state between the engagement groove 33a and the engagement claw 56 is maintained, and the operation lever 5 is held in the rotor reverse rotation prevention position in which the operation lever 5 is pushed down in the B direction.

Next, the operation of the spinning reel 1 having the above construction will be described.

First, with the operating lever 5 held at the initial position shown in FIG. 1, the pinion gear 1 is moved through the handle.
When 3 is rotated in the normal direction, the rotor 8 attached to the pinion gear 13 also rotates in the normal direction (rotates in the yarn winding direction). However, at this time, the brake rotor 31
Does not rotate due to the connecting action of the one-way clutch 20. The rotating member 43, which is supported by the rotor 8 and rotates in the same direction as the rotor 8, receives a force in the reverse rotating direction by the action of the leaf spring 45, rotates about the pin 42, and one end thereof is the boss of the rotor 8. Abut on the engaging claw 43
a is retracted inward so as to be separated from the engaging protrusion 40 of the brake rotor 31. Therefore, the rotating member 43 is
The brake rotor 31 freely rotates forward without being restricted by the brake rotor 31. Therefore, in this state, even if the operation lever 5 is pushed up in the direction A and the brake plate 33 is pinched between the brake shoe 17 and the pressure contact piece 35 (in this case, the brake rotor 31 does not move to the brake shoe 17).
By the pressing force of the above, the rotor 8 moves in the axial direction along the holding body 29 as shown in FIG. 3), and no braking force acts on the rotor 8.

When the pinion gear 13 is rotated in the reverse direction while the operation lever 5 is held at the initial position, the rotor 8 attached to the pinion gear 13 also rotates in the reverse direction (rotates in the yarn feeding direction). ). At this time, the brake rotor 31 also reversely rotates together with the rotor 8 due to the coupling action of the one-way clutch 20. Therefore, in this state,
By pushing up the operating lever 5 in the A direction,
When the brake plate 33 is sandwiched between the brake shoe 17 and the pressure contact piece 35 to brake the rotation of the brake rotor 31 (see FIG. 3), the rotor 8 that rotates integrally with the brake rotor 31 in a directly connected state is also obtained. The braking force corresponding to the amount of rotation of the operating lever 5 acts via the directional clutch 20 without causing a time lag. In this case, the braking force applied to the brake rotor 31 and the rotational force of the rotor 8 act in opposite directions on the wedge region of the outer ring 25 of the one-way clutch 20, but these forces act on the one-way clutch 20. If it is within the allowable load range, the rotor 8 and the brake rotor 31 do not rotate with respect to each other. That is, the rotor 8 and the brake rotor 31 rotate together even during braking. Therefore, the rotor 8
The engaging claw 43a of the rotating member 43 that rotates integrally with the brake rotor 31 does not mesh with the brake rotor 31, and all the rotational force of the rotor 8 (for example, the force pulled by the fish) is received by the one-way clutch 20. However, the force acting on the wedge region of the outer ring 25 (the rotor 8
Torque and braking force acting on the brake rotor 31)
When exceeds the allowable load of the one-way clutch 20, the one-way clutch 20 slips and the rotor 8 starts to rotate with respect to the brake rotor 31. As a result, the rotating member 43, which rotates integrally with the rotor 8 in the reverse direction, receives a force in the forward rotation direction due to the action of the leaf spring 45, rotates about the pin 42, and one end of the rotating member 43 is the rotor 8. Hit the boss,
The engaging claws 43 a project between the engaging protrusions 40 of the brake rotor 31. As a result, the rotor 8 and the brake rotor 31 mesh with each other, and they rotate in reverse together. Therefore, after that, the braking force acting on the brake rotor 31 directly acts on the rotor 8 without passing through the one-way clutch 20, and all the rotating force of the rotor 8 (for example, the force pulled by the fish) is received by the brake rotor 31. To be

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, when the operation lever 5 is pushed down in the B direction, the control cam 54 is rotated clockwise in the figure via the actuating body 50 as described above. As a result, the locking claw 56 that contacts the third contact portion 54c is moved toward the braking plate 33, and the locking claw 56 meshes with the locking groove 33a of the braking plate 33 so that the brake rotor 31 is engaged.
Is prevented from rotating. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to reversely rotate the pinion gear 13 via the handle in this state, the rotation of the brake rotor 31 directly connected to the pinion gear 13 via the one-way clutch 20 is blocked, so that the pinion gear 13 is blocked. Therefore, the rotor 8 does not rotate in the reverse direction. Of course, if the pinion gear 13 is normally rotated in this state, the direct connection state between the brake rotor 31 and the pinion gear 13 via the one-way clutch 20 is released, and thus the rotor 8 can be normally rotated.

When the operation lever 5 is returned to the initial position,
The control cam 5 is controlled by the actuation body 50 and the distribution spring 58.
4 is rotated counterclockwise in the figure, and the locking claw 56 that contacts the third contact portion 54c of the control cam 54 returns to the initial position against the biasing force of the spring 57 (see FIG. 1). . As a result, the engagement between the engagement groove 33a of the braking plate 33 and the engagement claw 56 is released, and the brake rotor 31 can be rotated.

As described above, according to the spinning reel 1 of the present embodiment, the rotor 8 has the first state (initial state) in which not only the forward rotation but also the reverse rotation is allowed, and the rotor 8
A second state (see FIG. 3) that can be applied to the rotor while adjusting the braking force, and a third state (see FIG. 4) that prevents reverse rotation of the rotor 8.
(See) can be switched by one operating lever 5. Therefore, the switching operation between the three states can be performed easily and quickly, and the situation change at the time of actual fishing can be quickly dealt with. Therefore, it is possible to surely perform delicate exchange with the fish, and it is possible to avoid a situation in which the fish caught is broken or the fishing line is instantaneously cut. Further, since it is not necessary to operate an operating means other than the operating lever 5, it is excellent in operability. Further, since it is not necessary to provide an operating means other than the operating lever 5, the reel as a whole can be made compact and excellent in portability. ing. In addition, this also increases the degree of freedom in designing the external appearance, and makes it possible to design a good external appearance.

Further, according to the spinning reel 1 of this embodiment, the first state and the third state are held by the switching operation of the operation lever 5. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the unintended rotor operation from being performed by switching between the two states depending on the adjustment of the operating force.

Further, in the spinning reel 1 of the present embodiment, when braking the reverse rotation of the rotor 8, if the rotational force of the rotor 8 due to the pulling of the fish is within the allowable load range of the one-way clutch 20, the brake is applied. When the braking force applied to the rotor 31 acts on the rotor 8 via the rolling one-way clutch 20 having a small reverse play degree due to the wedge action, and the rotational force of the rotor 8 exceeds the allowable load of the one-way clutch 20, the brake is applied. The braking force applied to the rotor 31 is the one-way clutch 20.
It directly acts on the rotor 8 without passing through. That is, in the present embodiment, the brake rotor 3 has a large allowable load but a slight delay occurs in transmission of the braking force.
1 and the rotor 8 (the force transmission mechanism by the engagement of the engaging claw 43a of the rotating member 43 and the engaging protrusion 40 of the brake rotor 31), and the allowable load is small, but the transmission of the braking force is linear. The braking force transmission structure is adopted in which the force transmission mechanism by the one-way clutch 20 that can be performed in the above is organically coupled, and the defect of one mechanism is compensated by the other mechanism.

Therefore, when the rotational force of the rotor 8 is small, this force is received by the one-way clutch 20 and the braking force is linearly transmitted to the rotor 8 via the one-way clutch 20. When the rotor 8 reverses at a high speed due to, for example, the rolling member of the one-way clutch 20 slips, the brake rotor 31 and the rotor 8 mesh with each other, and the brake rotor 31 is reliably rotated in the reverse rotation of the rotor 8. The brake rotor 31 follows and is integrally rotated (therefore, the braking force applied to the brake rotor 31 directly acts on the rotor 8), and the rotor rotational force applied to the one-way clutch 20 is directly received by the brake rotor 31. As a result, damage to the one-way clutch 20 is prevented. As a result, stable rotor reverse braking can be performed even when the rotor rotates at high speed in reverse, and troubles during actual fishing can be prevented. That is, it is possible to improve the responsiveness of transmission of the braking force while ensuring a sufficient allowable load.

Further, in such a structure, the sliding of the rolling member of the rolling type one-way clutch 20 is caused by the engagement claw 43a.
The minimum amount until the engagement with the engagement protrusion 40 (the engagement claw 43a
Therefore, the rolling member and the outer ring 25 can be prevented from being damaged or worn as much as possible, and the wedge action performance can be maintained and the life can be improved.

Further, in the reverse rotation preventing mechanism of this embodiment, a plurality of locking grooves 33a that mesh with the locking claws 56 are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the braking plate 33, not on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Therefore,
Since the driving elements such as the locking claws 56 are arranged inside the reel body 1a, the entire reel can be made compact without increasing the size in the radial direction.

Further, in the spinning reel 1 of this embodiment, the brake rotor 31 has the protruding portion 29a and the extending portion 31.
It engages with the holding body 29 in a non-rotatable manner by meshing with a and can move only in the axial direction with respect to the holding body 29. In the configuration in which the braking force acts on the peripheral portion of the brake rotor 31 (braking plate 33) via the brake shoe 17 as in the present embodiment, the brake rotor 31 causes the shaft of the spool shaft 9 to move by the pressing force from the brake shoe 17. Since it is moved at an angle with respect to the direction, in that case, an unbalanced load acts on the spool shaft 9, causing a problem such as a heavy forward rotation operation of the rotor 8. However, if the brake rotor 31 is configured to be movable only in the axial direction with respect to the holding body 29, the pressing force from the brake shoe 17 can be released in the axial direction, so that the above-mentioned problems can be solved.

5 to 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention. The spinning reel 1A of the present embodiment does not have a reverse rotation prevention mechanism, has a braking force holding mechanism capable of holding a state in which a constant braking force is applied to the rotor 8, and has a one-way clutch 20. Since the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that it is not provided, the same components as those of the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted, and only different portions will be described. I will.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the spinning reel 1A of this embodiment, the brake rotor 31 is rotatably attached to the pinion gear 13 via the collar 62 instead of the one-way clutch. A spring 61 is interposed between the brake rotor 31 and the rotor 8 for urging the brake rotor 31 against a stopper portion 66 fixed to the pinion gear 13 provided on the frame 1f side so as not to rotate. There is. When the brake rotor 31 is pressed by the brake shoe 17, the brake rotor 31 is moved in the axial direction against the biasing force of the spring 61, and the braking plate 33 thereof is pressed against the pressure contact piece 35.

A pressing spring 60 is provided between the operating lever 5 and the leg portion 1b to constantly hold the operating lever 5 at the initial position shown in FIG. Therefore, when the operation lever 5 is pushed up in the direction A (clockwise) around the support shaft 7 and then the operation force is released, the operation lever 5 is returned to the initial position by the urging force of the spring 60. Also,
An end portion of a leaf spring 45 wound and held so as to cling to the brake rotor 31 is fixed to a U-shaped groove formed in the rotating member 43. Further, an operating portion 5b for pushing out the brake shoe 17 is formed at the other end of the operating lever 5 located inside the reel body 1a.

The braking force holding mechanism has a shaft 65 provided at the other end of the operating lever 5 and a control cam 63 which is rotatably supported by the support shaft 64 and rotated by the shaft 65. A distribution spring 58 that constantly urges the control cam 63 in the rotation direction, and a contact portion 63b that is formed on the control cam 63 so as to project and that contacts the brake shoe 17 by the rotation of the control cam 63 and pushes it out. Have Control cam 6
3 has an elongated hole 63a formed therein, and the shaft portion 65 of the operating lever 5 is engaged with the elongated hole 63a. The length of the long hole 63a is determined by the stroke of the brake shoe 17 moved by the operation portion 5b of the operation lever 5 (the brake shoe 17).
Is set to be longer than the distance from the initial position shown in FIG. 5 to the position where the brake plate 33 is brought into contact with the press contact piece 35). The brake shoe 17 includes a pressing portion 17a that abuts the operating portion 5b of the operating lever 5 and is pressed against the braking plate 33, and an extending portion 17b that abuts the abutting portion 63b of the control cam 63. It is constantly urged in a direction away from the braking plate 33 by a compression spring 67 that is interposed between the compression plate 1 and 1f.

In the above construction, when the operation lever 5 is located at the initial position shown in FIG. 5, the urging force of the allocating spring 58 (in the direction of rotating the control cam 63 counterclockwise in the drawing). By the action), the upper end portion of the elongated hole 63a of the control cam 63 is brought into contact with the shaft portion 65, and the contact portion 63b of the control cam 63 is retracted to the rear side.
Therefore, the extension part 17b of the brake shoe 17 is pressed against the contact part 63b by the urging force of the compression spring 67 (the pressing part 17a is also pressed against the operation part 5b), and is separated from the braking plate 33. Held in a state. Further, in this state, even if the operation lever 5 is pushed up in the direction A, the length of the elongated hole 63a is set to be longer than the stroke of the brake shoe 17, so that the shaft portion 65 simply moves inside the elongated hole 63a. It only moves, and the control cam 63 is not rotated clockwise by the shaft portion 65.

When the operating lever 5 is pushed down in the direction B from the initial position (see FIG. 7), the shaft portion 65 rotates the control cam 63 clockwise in the figure against the biasing force of the distribution spring 58. To move. At this time, the distribution spring 58 swings in accordance with the rotation of the control cam 63, but when the dead point is exceeded, a biasing force is applied to the control cam 63 in the direction of rotating the control cam 63 in the clockwise direction. Like Therefore, after that, the control cam 63 is rotated clockwise by the biasing force of the distribution spring 58, not by the shaft portion 65. As a result, the brake shoe 17 in contact with the contact portion 63 b is pushed out against the urging force of the compression spring 67, and the brake shoe 17 and the pressure contact piece 35 are braked by the brake plate 3.
When the lower end portion of the elongated hole 63a of the control cam 63 comes into contact with the shaft portion 65 by pinching 3, the rotation of the control cam 63 is stopped. That is, the braking plate 3 by the brake shoe 17
3 is held (rotor braking state), and the operation lever 5 is held at the position pushed down in the B direction.

Next, the operation of the spinning reel 1A having the above structure will be described.

First, with the operating lever 5 held in the initial position shown in FIG. 5, the pinion gear 1 is inserted through the handle.
When 3 is rotated in the normal direction, the rotor 8 attached to the pinion gear 13 also rotates in the normal direction (rotates in the yarn winding direction). At this time, the brake rotor 31 also rotates integrally with the frictional force of the spring 61. In this state, push up the operation lever 5 in the direction A to operate the brake shoe 1
When the rotation of the brake rotor 31 is braked via 7, the rotating member 43 supported by the rotor 8 and rotating in the forward direction receives a force in the reverse rotation direction by the action of the leaf spring 45, and the pin 42 is centered. It rotates and one end thereof abuts against the boss of the rotor 8, and the engaging claw 43a is retracted inward so as to be separated from the engaging protrusion 40 of the brake rotor 31. Therefore, the rotating member 43 freely rotates forward together with the rotor 8 without being restricted by the brake rotor 31. That is, only the rotor 8 remains rotating regardless of the stop of the brake rotor 31,
No braking force acts on the rotor 8.

When the operation lever 5 is held at the initial position and the pinion gear 13 is rotated in the reverse direction, the rotor 8 attached to the pinion gear 13 also rotates in the reverse direction (rotates in the yarn feeding direction). ). At this time, the brake rotor 31 also reversely rotates integrally due to the frictional force of the spring 61 and the like. Therefore, in this state, by pushing up the operation lever 5 in the direction A, the brake shoe 17
When the brake plate 33 is sandwiched between the pressure contact piece 35 and the pressure contact piece 35 to brake the rotation of the brake rotor 31, the rotating member 43 rotating in reverse together with the rotor 8 rotates forward by the action of the leaf spring 45. Force is applied in the direction to rotate about the pin 42, one end of the pin 42 abuts on the boss of the rotor 8, and the engaging claw 43a is engaged with the engaging protrusion 40 of the brake rotor 31.
It comes to protrude in the middle. As a result, the rotor 8 and the brake rotor 31 mesh with each other, and they rotate in reverse together. Therefore, the braking force acting on the brake rotor 31 directly acts on the rotor 8.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, when the operation lever 5 is pushed down in the B direction, as described above, the shaft portion 6 is released.
The control cam 63 is rotated clockwise in FIG.
As a result, the brake shoe 1 that contacts the contact portion 63b
7 is pushed out against the urging force of the compression spring 67, the brake shoe 17 presses the braking plate 33 between it and the press contact piece 35, and the lower end portion of the elongated hole 63a of the control cam 63 becomes the shaft portion 65. The rotation of the control cam 63 is stopped at the time of contact. That is, the pressing state of the brake plate 33 by the brake shoe 17 is maintained, and the operation lever 5 is held at the position pushed down in the B direction. Therefore, in this state, when the pinion gear 13 is rotated in the reverse direction via the handle, a predetermined braking force (distribution spring 5) is applied to the rotor 8 by the same operation as when the operation lever 5 is pushed up in the direction A.
8 depends on the spring force). Further, if the pinion gear 13 is normally rotated in this state, the rotor 8 freely rotates regardless of the stop of the brake rotor 31 for the reason described above, and no braking force acts on the rotor 8.

When the operating lever 5 is returned to the initial position,
The control cam 63 is controlled by the shaft 56 and the distribution spring 58.
Is rotated counterclockwise in the figure, and the brake shoe 17 contacting the contact portion 63b is returned to the initial position shown in FIG. 5 by the urging force of the compression spring 67.

As described above, according to the spinning reel 1A of this embodiment, the rotor 8 is applied with the braking force in the first state (initial state) in which not only the forward rotation but also the reverse rotation is allowed. It is possible to switch between the second state that can be applied while being adjusted and the third state (see FIG. 7) in which the state in which the braking force is applied to the rotor 8 is maintained by one operating lever 5. Therefore, the switching operation between the three states can be performed easily and quickly, and the situation change at the time of actual fishing can be quickly dealt with. Therefore, it is possible to surely perform delicate exchange with the fish, and it is possible to avoid a situation in which the fish caught is broken or the fishing line is instantaneously cut. Further, since it is not necessary to operate an operating means other than the operating lever 5, it is excellent in operability. Further, since it is not necessary to provide an operating means other than the operating lever 5, the reel as a whole can be made compact and excellent in portability. ing. This also increases the freedom of external design,
It can be designed to have a good appearance.

Further, the spinning reel 1A of the present embodiment
According to the above, the first lever is operated by switching the operation lever 5.
And the third state are retained. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the unintended rotor operation from being performed by switching between the two states depending on the adjustment of the operating force.

FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In the spinning reel 1B of the present embodiment, the rotor 8 is directly braked by the end portion of the pressing plate 14, the rotating member 43 that meshes with the brake rotor 31 is not provided in the rotor 8, and the spinning rotor 1B.
1 is the same as that of the first embodiment except that it functions not as a braking mechanism but as a reverse rotation preventing mechanism. Therefore, in the following, components common to those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals. The description will be omitted and only different parts will be described.

As shown in the figure, a braking portion 14b facing the inner surface of the rotor 8 is formed at the end of the pressing plate 14. When the operating lever 5 is operated in the A direction, the braking portion 14b comes into contact with the braking ring 8a provided on the inner surface of the rotor 8 to apply a braking force to the rotor 8. Unlike the first embodiment, the brake rotor 31 attached to the pinion gear 13 via the one-way clutch 20 is not provided with the engaging protrusion 40. Further, neither the brake shoe 17 nor the press-contact piece 35 is provided.

In the spinning reel 1B having such a structure, first, with the operating lever 5 held in the initial position shown in the drawing, the pinion gear 13 is normally rotated through the handle and is attached to the pinion gear 13. The rotor 8 also rotates integrally in the normal direction (rotates in the yarn winding direction). However, at this time, the brake rotor 31 does not rotate due to the coupling action of the one-way clutch 20. In this state, the operation lever 5 is pushed up in the direction A to operate the operation portion 14b of the pressing plate 14 on the braking ring 8a on the inner surface of the rotor 8.
When pressed against, the braking force acts on the rotor 8.

When the pinion gear 13 is rotated in the reverse direction while the operating lever 5 is held at the initial position, the rotor 8 attached to the pinion gear 13 also rotates in the reverse direction (rotates in the yarn feeding direction). ). At this time, the brake rotor 31 reversely rotates together with the rotor 8 due to the coupling action of the one-way clutch 20, but is in a idle state without affecting the rotor 8. In this state, when the operation lever 5 is pushed up in the direction A, the operation portion 14b of the pressing plate 14 is pressed against the braking ring 8a on the inner surface of the rotor 8, and the braking force acts on the rotor 8, as in the case of normal rotation. To do.

On the other hand, when the operation lever 5 is pushed down in the B direction, the control cam 54 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the figure via the operating body 50. As a result, the locking claw 56 that contacts the third contact portion 54c is moved toward the braking plate 33, the locking claw 56 meshes with the locking groove 33a of the braking plate 33, and the rotation of the brake rotor 31 is blocked. To be done. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to reversely rotate the pinion gear 13 via the handle in this state, the rotation of the brake rotor 31 directly connected to the pinion gear 13 via the one-way clutch 20 is blocked, so that the pinion gear 13 is blocked. Therefore, the rotor 8 does not rotate in the reverse direction. Of course, in this state the pinion gear 13
When is rotated forward, the direct connection state between the brake rotor 31 and the pinion gear 13 via the one-way clutch 20 is released, so that the rotor 8 can be rotated forward.

As described above, according to the spinning reel 1B of this embodiment, the rotor 8 is applied with the first state (initial state) in which not only the forward rotation but also the reverse rotation is allowed, and the braking force is applied to the rotor 8. It is possible to switch between the second state that can be applied while being adjusted and the third state that prevents reverse rotation of the rotor 8 by one operating lever 5. Therefore, the switching operation between the three states can be performed easily and quickly, and the situation change at the time of actual fishing can be quickly dealt with. Therefore, it is possible to surely perform delicate exchange with the fish, and it is possible to avoid a situation in which the fish caught is broken or the fishing line is instantaneously cut. Further, since it is not necessary to operate an operating means other than the operating lever 5, it is excellent in operability. Further, since it is not necessary to provide an operating means other than the operating lever 5, the reel as a whole can be made compact and excellent in portability. ing. In addition, this also increases the degree of freedom in designing the external appearance, and makes it possible to design a good external appearance.

Further, the spinning reel 1B of the present embodiment
According to the above, the first lever is operated by switching the operation lever 5.
And the third state are retained. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the unintended rotor operation from being performed by switching between the two states depending on the adjustment of the operating force.

9 to 18 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The spinning reel 1C of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the configuration and operation of the reverse rotation prevention mechanism and the operation lever 5 are different, and therefore is common to the first embodiment below. Constituent elements will be assigned the same reference numerals and explanation thereof will be omitted, and only different portions will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 9, the operating lever 5 is rotatably attached to the leg portion 1b of the spinning reel 1C of the present embodiment via the support shaft 70. The support shaft 70 is
A spherical support portion 70a that supports the operation lever 5, and a horizontal shaft portion 70b and a vertical shaft portion 70 that extend from the spherical support portion 70a.
It consists of c and. Therefore, the operation lever 5 can rotate in the vertical direction (directions A and B in the drawing) about the horizontal shaft portion 70b, and can also rotate in the horizontal direction about the vertical shaft portion 70c. A clearance 71 is provided between the spherical support portion 70a and the operating lever 5 to allow the operating lever 5 to rotate in the lateral direction (see FIG. 11). A spring 75 for urging the operation lever 5 in the upward rotation direction is interposed between the operation lever 5 and the leg portion 1b.

The leg portion 1b is formed with a stepped groove for allowing the rotation of the operation lever 5 and partially holding the other end side of the operation lever 5. This stepped groove is formed on the horizontal shaft portion 70b.
The first fitting groove 72a on the inner side that allows only the vertical rotation of the operation lever 5 around the center and the outer side that also allows the lateral rotation of the operation lever 5 about the vertical shaft portion 70c. It is composed of the second fitting groove 72b. A biasing means for biasing the operation lever 5 in the lateral direction is provided on the other end of the second fitting groove 72b with the operation lever 5 interposed therebetween. This urging means is a pressing plate 73 that comes into contact with the side surface of the operation lever 5.
And a compression spring 74 for urging the pressing plate 73.

The reverse rotation preventing mechanism for preventing the reverse rotation of the rotor 8 includes a switching lever 76 projectingly formed on the other end of the operation lever 5 or the pressing plate 14, and a support shaft 77 rotatably supported by the switching lever 76. The control cam 78 that is rotated by the brake plate 33 that is movably held by the frame 1f of the reel body 1a and that is rotated by the control cam 78.
And a plurality of locking grooves 33 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the braking plate 33 and meshing with the locking claws 56.
It consists of a and.

The control cam 78 has a first contact portion 78a that contacts the switching lever 76, and a second contact portion 78b that contacts the contact surface 56a of the locking claw 56. . Also,
The control cam 78 is constantly urged by a spring 79 wound around a support shaft 77 in a direction to come into contact with the switching lever 76. The locking claw 56 is constantly urged in a direction away from the braking plate 33 by a spring 80 inserted between the locking claw 56 and the frame 1f.

In the above structure, when the operating lever 5 is located at the initial position shown in FIG. 9 (see FIGS. 9 to 13), the first contact portion 78a of the control cam 78 is urged by the urging force of the spring 79. Comes into contact with the switching lever 76,
The locking claw 56 is pressed against the second contact portion 78b of the control cam 78 by the urging force of the spring 80 and is held in a state of being separated from the braking plate 33. Further, the operation lever 5 is fitted in the first fitting groove 72a and its lateral rotation is restricted. From this state, move the operating lever 5 to the horizontal shaft portion 70b.
When it is rotated (pushed down) in the B direction around, the other end side of the operation lever 5 fitted in the first fitting groove 72a enters the second fitting groove 72b. At this time, the operating lever 5
Is pressed by the pressing plate 73 arranged in the second fitting groove 72b, and is rotated laterally about the vertical shaft portion 70c to be fitted into the second fitting groove 72b with a contact ( 14 to 18). In this way, the operating lever 5 moves the horizontal shaft portion 70.
When rotated around b and the vertical shaft portion 70c, the control cam 78 is rotated by the switching lever 76 against the urging force of the spring 79, and the locking claw 5 that abuts the second abutting portion 78b.
6 is moved toward the braking plate 33 against the biasing force of the spring 80. Then, at the stage where the operation lever 5 is pressed against the second fitting groove 72b and fitted, the locking groove 33a of the braking plate 33 is formed.
The locking claw 56 meshes with. That is, the operating lever 5 is held at the laterally rotating position (the operating lever 5 is in contact with and fitted to the second fitting groove 72b) by the urging means including the pressing plate 73 and the compression spring 74, Along with this, the engagement state of the engagement groove 33a and the engagement claw 56 is maintained.

Next, the operation of the spinning reel 1C having the above structure will be described.

The operation when the pinion gear 13 is rotated forward and backward while the operating lever 5 is held at the initial position shown in FIG. 9 is the same as that of the first embodiment. Further, when the pinion gear 13 rotates forward and backward, the operation lever 5
The operation when pushing up in the same direction is also the same as in the first embodiment.

On the other hand, when the operation lever 5 is rotated (pushed down) in the direction B around the horizontal shaft portion 70b from the initial position, as described above, the operation lever 5 has the second fitting groove 72b on the other end side. At the time of entering the position, the pressing plate 73 horizontally rotates about the vertical shaft portion 70c and fits the second fitting groove 72b with contact (see FIGS. 14 to 18). As a result, the control cam 78 is rotated by the switching lever 76, the locking claw 56 that contacts the second contact portion 78b meshes with the locking groove 33a of the braking plate 33, and rotation of the brake rotor 31 is blocked. . Therefore, even if an attempt is made to reversely rotate the pinion gear 13 via the handle in this state, the rotation of the brake rotor 31 directly connected to the pinion gear 13 via the one-way clutch 20 is blocked, so that the pinion gear 13 is blocked. Therefore, the rotor 8 does not rotate in the reverse direction. Of course, if the pinion gear 13 is normally rotated in this state, the direct connection state between the brake rotor 31 and the pinion gear 13 via the one-way clutch 20 is released, and thus the rotor 8 can be normally rotated.

In this state, when the operation lever 5 is rotated in the second fitting groove 72b in the opposite direction about the vertical shaft portion 70c against the biasing force of the pressing plate 73, the operation lever 5 is moved. When facing the first fitting groove 72a, the operating lever 5 is automatically returned to the initial position where it is fitted into the first fitting groove 72a by the biasing force of the spring 75. As a result, the control cam 78 that contacts the switching lever 76 is rotated by the biasing force of the spring 79 to return to the initial position shown in FIG. 9, and the locking claw 56 that contacts the control cam 78 also biases the spring 80. Is returned to the initial position (see FIG. 9) separated from the braking plate 33. That is, the locking groove 33a of the braking plate 33
The engaging claw 56 is disengaged, and the brake rotor 31 can rotate.

As described above, according to the spinning reel 1C of the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the first embodiment.
