Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a reel body, and more particularly, to a reel body of a spinning reel capable of feeding out fishing line forward.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A spinning reel generally has a reel body mounted on a fishing rod, a handle rotatably mounted on the reel body, a rotor rotatably mounted on the reel body, and a front-rear movable front-rear to the reel body. And a spool around which the fishing line guided by the rotor is wound.
[0003]
The reel body includes a T-shaped rod mounting leg mounted on a fishing rod, and a reel body integrally formed with the rod mounting leg and housing various mechanisms therein. The reel body includes a main body member having therein a storage space having a side opening, and a lid member detachably attached to the main body member so as to cover the opening of the main body member. Further, a cover member is attached to the lower rear portion of the reel body from the rear so as to cover the reel body. The cover member is screwed and fixed to a plurality of locations on the reel body by a plurality of screw members.
[0004]
In a spinning reel to which such a cover member is attached, the front end of the cover member may rise from the reel body. When the cover member rises, the external appearance is impaired, and the raised portion may be caught by another member or the like, and the cover member may be damaged. In order to prevent the cover member from lifting, there is known a cover member provided with a locking projection protruding from the front end mounting surface of the cover member and a rectangular locking hole formed in the reel body. . Here, when the cover member is mounted on the reel body, the locking projections are locked in the locking holes to keep the cover member floating.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-mentioned conventional spinning reel, a locking projection provided on the cover member is locked in a locking hole of the reel body to prevent the cover member from floating. However, since the locking hole of the reel body is formed in a rectangular shape, the processing is complicated and the formation may be difficult.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily hold a cover member on a reel body of a spinning reel.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A reel body of a spinning reel according to a first aspect of the present invention is a reel body of a spinning reel mounted on a fishing rod and capable of paying out fishing line in a forward direction, wherein the rod mounting leg mounted on the fishing rod and the rod mounting leg are connected to each other. A reel body, a cover member mounted from the rear so as to cover a lower portion of the reel body, a locking projection protruding from a front end mounting surface of the cover member and having a substantially semicircular cross section, and a reel. And a circular locking hole formed on the body for locking the locking projection and retaining the cover member.
[0008]
In this reel body, a circular locking hole formed in the reel body locks a locking projection having a substantially semicircular cross section formed on the cover member to prevent the cover member from floating. Here, since the locking hole is formed in a circular shape, the formation is facilitated. Therefore, the cover member can be prevented from floating with an easy configuration.
The reel body according to a second aspect of the present invention is the reel body according to the first aspect, wherein the reel body is detachably screwed to the main body member so as to cover an opening of the main body member and a main body member having a storage space with an open side. And a cover member to be used. In this case, for example, a locking hole is formed in the lid member, and the locking projection is formed in the cover member from behind the lid member and locked. Here, the cover member can be prevented from floating with a simple configuration by locking the locking protrusions to the circular locking holes.
[0009]
A reel body of a spinning reel according to a third aspect is the reel body of the second aspect, wherein the locking hole is formed in the main body member. In this case, the cover member can be prevented from floating on the main body member.
A reel body of a spinning reel according to a fourth aspect is the reel body of the second or third aspect, wherein the locking hole is formed in the lid member. In this case, the cover member can be prevented from floating on the lid member.
[0010]
A reel body according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the reel body according to any of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the locking projection is formed integrally with the cover member. In this case, the locking projection can be easily formed.
A spinning reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the reel body according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the locking projection is formed separately from the cover member. In this case, for example, by attaching and fixing a pin member separate from the cover member, the locking projection can be formed at low cost.
[0011]
A spinning reel according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the reel body according to any of the second to sixth aspects, wherein the rod mounting leg is formed integrally with the main body member. In this case, since the rod mounting leg and the main body member are integrally formed, the configuration of the lid member is simplified as compared with the case where the rod mounting leg and the lid member are integrally formed.
According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a reel body of the spinning reel according to any one of the second to sixth aspects, wherein the rod mounting leg is formed integrally with the lid member. In this case, since the rod attachment leg and the lid member are integrally formed, the mixture of the thick portion and the thin portion is reduced, the body member is made thin to maintain high accuracy, and the attachment leg is made thick. To maintain the strength.
