[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional example disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which a separate mounting plate, which functions as a support substrate for various driving members constituting a driving mechanism, is interposed between the side plate and the frame, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced. It has been pointed out that it is difficult to maintain the accuracy of assembling the side frame, the mounting plate, and the side plate with high accuracy.
[0006]
On the other hand, in the conventional example disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the side frame is cut into a shape along the bulging shape of the side plate, there is a disadvantage that it cannot be easily cut like a circular outer shape and the processing cost increases. there were.
In both of the conventional examples of Patent Documents 1 and 2, the end of the handle shaft of the winding drive mechanism is passed through a bearing hole provided in a mounting plate or a side frame, and the end of the handle shaft is fixed with a retaining ring from the outside of the handle shaft end. Because of the retaining and locking structure, the handle shaft end is exposed from one side of the spool to the outside, resulting in poor corrosion resistance, poor workability with a retaining ring, and the need for a retaining ring. It was pointed out that there was a problem that the score increased and the cost increased.
[0007]
The present invention has been devised in view of the above-described circumstances, and has been devised in order to reduce the manufacturing cost and the processing cost while securing a high assembling accuracy in providing a large driving member accommodating portion on the side plate. The purpose is to provide reels.
[0008]

[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIGS. 1 to 6 show an embodiment of a fishing reel according to claim 1. In FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a reel body of a fishing reel 3, and the reel body 1 is a left side. The frame 5 includes a frame (frame) 11 formed by connecting the frame 5 and the right frame 7 with a plurality of columns 9, and a left plate 13 and a right plate 15 attached to the sides of the frame 11. The left frame 5, right frame 7, and left plate 13 are each formed in a circular shape in a side view.
[0011]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the right side plate 15 is formed in the same circular shape as the left side plate 13, but a part from the outer peripheral edge A of the right side frame 7 so as to accommodate a large-diameter drive gear 17 described later. A bulging portion 19 that bulges out is formed.
As shown in FIG. 1, a cylindrical bearing mounting portion 21 is provided on the inner peripheral side of the left side plate 13 so as to protrude toward the right side plate 15, and a spool provided on the bearing mounting portion 21 and the right side frame 7. Bearings 25 and 27 are mounted in shaft insertion holes (hereinafter referred to as “insertion holes”) 23, respectively. A spool shaft 31 penetratingly fixed to the axis of the spool 29 is rotatably supported by the bearings 25 and 27, and the spool 29 is rotatably mounted between the side plates 13 and 15 and covers the bearing 25. As a result, the seal member 33 is locked to the bearing mounting portion 21, and the seal member 33 ensures waterproofness between the spool shaft 31 and the bearing mounting portion 21 and the bearing 25.
[0012]
The spool shaft 31 protrudes into the right side plate 15, and its end 35 is supported by a bearing 39 in a tubular support member 37 mounted on the right side plate 15.
A brake adjustment knob 41 is screwed to the support member 37, and a friction plate 43 is interposed between the brake adjustment knob 41 and the end 35 of the spool shaft 31. A friction plate 47 is interposed between the part 45 and the bearing mounting part 21. In the same manner as in the prior art, the operation of the brake adjustment knob 41 gives a rotation resistance to the ends 35 and 45 of the spool shaft 31 to apply a braking force to the rotation of the spool.
[0013]
As shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, a pinion 49 which can be engaged with and disengaged from a clutch portion 47 provided on the spool shaft 31 is rotatable on the spool shaft 31 protruding from the right side plate 15 and is rotatable in the axial direction. The pinion 49 is slidably mounted on a shaft. The pinion 49, together with a clutch plate 53, a clutch lever 55, and a clutch operating plate 57, which engages with a locking groove 51 provided on the outer periphery thereof, transfers the winding power of the handle 59 to the spool 29. A clutch mechanism 61 for transmitting to and disconnecting from the (spool shaft 31) is configured, and the clutch lever 55 is mounted above a side portion of the right side plate 15.
[0014]
When the clutch section 47 is engaged with the pinion 49 via the clutch operating plate 57 and the clutch plate 53 by operating the clutch lever 55, the spool 29 is brought into the fishing line winding state (clutch ON), and the clutch When the clutch engagement between the pinion 49 and the clutch part 47 is released by operating the lever 55, the spool 29 is switched to the spool free state (clutch OFF), and the spool 29 is further changed from the spool free state by operating the handle 59. It switches to the fishing line winding state.
[0015]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 59 denotes a handle, 63 denotes a handle shaft to which the handle 59 is connected, and a clutch return gear 67 is attached to the insertion tip 65 side.
Further, a drive gear 17 that meshes with the pinion 49 is rotatably attached to the handle shaft 63, and the handle shaft 63, the drive gear 17, the pinion 49, and the like transfer the winding power of the handle 59 to the spool 29. A take-up drive mechanism 69 for transmission is configured.
[0016]
The drive gear 17 and the handle shaft 63 are frictionally coupled by a conventionally known drag mechanism 71, and the rotational force of the handle 59 is transmitted from the drive gear 17 and the pinion 49 to the spool shaft 31 via the drag mechanism 71. Further, the clutch 59 is configured so that the turning force of the handle 59 to the spool shaft 31 is shut off by the clutch OFF operation by the clutch lever 55. As in the conventional case, the drag force of the drag mechanism 71 is adjusted by a drag knob 73 attached to the handle shaft 63.
[0017]
Meanwhile, in order to increase the speed of the take-up gear, the drive gear 17 has a larger diameter than a normal drive gear, and as shown in FIG. It has a size that bulges out toward you.
For this reason, the right side plate 15 is formed with an arc-shaped bulging portion 19 that bulges partially from the outer peripheral edge A of the right frame 7 in accordance with the bulging shape so that the driving gear 17 can be accommodated. I have. An opening 75 that opens to the right frame 7 side of the bulging portion 19 is closed by a lid member 77 formed separately from the right frame 7.
[0018]
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the lid member 77 is a substantially semicircular plate extending inward to the axis of the handle shaft 63 in a side view. It is fixed with a screw 79.
[0019]
The lid member 77 is provided with a U-shaped notch 83 that is locked in a locking groove 81 provided on the insertion-side tip portion 65 side of the handle shaft 63. It is rotatably locked to the right frame 7 via a member 77. As shown in FIG. 1, a concave portion 85 into which the insertion side distal end portion 65 can be inserted is formed on the axis of the handle shaft 63 in the right frame 7, and the insertion side distal end portion 65 is located in the concave portion 85. It is supported by the mounted bearing 87.
[0020]
FIG. 6 shows a joint structure between the lid member 77 and the bulging portion 19. In the present embodiment, a concave engaging portion 89 is provided on the peripheral edge of the opening 75 of the bulging portion 19, and Although the cover member 77 is engaged, the cover member 77 may be abutted against the peripheral portion of the bulging portion 19 as shown in FIG. 7, or the lid member 77 may be brought into contact with the peripheral portion of the bulging portion 19 as shown in FIG. May be fixed with bolts 91. Although not shown, an O-ring is desirably attached to the joint between the lid member 77 and the bulging portion 19 to secure the sealing property.
[0021]
The present embodiment is configured as described above, and drive members such as the handle shaft 63 and the pinion 49 that constitute the winding drive mechanism 69 are housed in a space formed by the right frame 7 and the right plate 15, and are wound. The drive gear 17 constituting the take-out drive mechanism 69 is housed in a space formed by the bulging portion 19, the lid member 77, and the right frame 7.
Then, the locking groove 81 is locked in the notch 83 of the lid member 77, and the handle shaft 63 is rotatably stopped and locked to the right frame 7 via the lid member 77, and the handle shaft 63 is inserted. The side end portion 65 is accommodated in the concave portion 85 covered by the lid member 77, so that its corrosion resistance is ensured.
[0022]
As described above, in the present embodiment, when the large-diameter drive gear 17 is accommodated in the right side plate 15, the right side plate 15 is formed with the bulging portion 17 bulging from the outer peripheral edge A of the circular right frame 7. The opening 75 opening to the right frame 7 side of the bulging portion 17 is closed by a lid member 77 separate from the right frame 7, and the handle shaft 63 is rotatably stopped and locked by the lid member 77. Therefore, unlike the conventional example of Patent Literature 1, the right side plate 15 having the irregular shape is easily and highly assembled into the right side frame 7 without interposing a separate mounting plate between the right side frame 7 and the right side plate 15. Since the right frame 7 can be cut into a circular shape on the outer periphery, manufacturing and processing costs can be reduced as compared with the conventional example of Patent Document 2.
[0023]
In addition, as described above, the present embodiment has a structure in which the cover member 77 also serves as the stopper for the handle shaft 63, so that the structure of the present embodiment is smaller than that of the conventional example in which the retaining shaft is used to prevent the handle shaft 63 from being removed. Simplification is possible, workability is improved, and there is an advantage that manufacturing cost can be further reduced.
In addition, in the present embodiment, since the insertion-side distal end portion 65 of the handle shaft 63 is housed in the concave portion 85 covered with the lid member 77, its corrosion resistance can be ensured.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a separate mounting plate is provided between the side frame and the side plate when providing the housing (bulging portion) for storing the large driving member in the side plate. Without using, it is possible to easily connect the side plate of irregular shape to the circular side frame with high assembling accuracy, and since the side frame only needs to be cut into the outer peripheral circle, the manufacturing and processing costs can be reduced, and The lid also serves as a stopper for the handle shaft, making it possible to simplify the structure compared to the conventional case where the retaining shaft was used to prevent the handle shaft from being removed, improving workability and manufacturing. There is an advantage that the cost can be further reduced.
