TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a drag switching device, and more particularly to a drag switching device for a spinning reel that switches a braking state of a drag mechanism that brakes a spool that moves back and forth by rotation of a handle rotatably mounted on a reel body of a spinning reel.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a spinning reel is equipped with a drag mechanism for braking the rotation of the spool in the line payout direction, and has a drag switching device capable of switching the drag mechanism between an operable state and an inoperable state (for example, a known spinning reel). And Patent Document 1).
Conventional drag switching devices include a drag switching device that switches between a first drag mechanism provided at a rear portion of a reel body and a second drag mechanism that is disposed in a spool and has a stronger braking force than the first drag mechanism. It is known to switch a third drag mechanism provided at a rear portion between an operable state and an inoperable state.
[0003]
A drag switching device that switches between the first drag mechanism and the second drag mechanism includes a cylindrical member non-rotatably mounted on a spool shaft, a rotary member non-rotatably mounted on the cylindrical member, and a rotary member. There is provided a lock member that is disengaged and an operation member that operates the lock member. The second drag mechanism is arranged on the outer periphery of the tubular member.
A drag switching device capable of switching the third drag mechanism between an operable state and an inoperable state includes a tubular member non-rotatably mounted on a spool shaft, and a drag cylinder portion rotatably mounted on the cylindrical member. A rotation member non-rotatably mounted on the drag cylinder, a lock member engaged with and disengaged from the rotation member, and an operation member for operating the lock member. The third drag mechanism is disposed between the outer periphery of the cylindrical member and the inner periphery of the drag cylinder.
[0004]
In any of the drag switching devices, the rotating member has a plurality of engaging portions formed on the outer peripheral portion, the engaging portions being engaged with the locking member. The lock member is supported by the reel body so as to be vertically movable between a lock position for engaging with the engagement portion and a disengagement position for disengagement. The operation member is mounted swingably around an axis parallel to the rotation axis of the handle above the spool shaft, and a cam for pressing the lock member swings in conjunction with the operation member, and the lock member is moved. Press down. The lock member is engaged with the engaging portion of the rotating member from below the rotating member and is urged upward by the urging member.
[0005]
In the drag switching device configured as described above, when the operation member is swung, for example, backward, the cam retreats, the lock member is pressed by the urging member, and the rotation member is engaged to lock the rotation member. Since the locking member is engaged with the rotating member by the biasing force of the spring in this manner, even if the rotating member is at a position where the rotating member does not mesh, the locking member rotates the rotating member so that the locking member securely connects the rotating member. Can be locked. Then, when the rocking member is swung forward, the cam presses the lock member, the lock member separates from the engagement portion, and the rotation member is unlocked.
[0006]
In the drag switching device that switches between the two drag mechanisms, when the rotating member is locked, the first drag mechanism is disabled, and the spool shaft is locked, so that the second drag mechanism in the spool is enabled. Further, when the rotation member is unlocked, the spool shaft becomes rotatable, so that the second drag mechanism becomes inoperable and the first drag mechanism becomes operable.
[0007]
In the drag switching device that switches the third drag mechanism, when the rotating member is locked, the drag cylinder portion cannot rotate, the spool shaft is locked, and the third drag mechanism is in a drag operable state. Further, when the rotation member is unlocked, the drag cylinder portion becomes rotatable, and the spool enters a free rotation state.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-described conventional configuration, in any of the configurations, the rotating member that rotates by the vertically moving lock member is locked and unlocked from below. On the other hand, the lock member is pressed above the spool shaft by a cam interlocking with the operation member. For this reason, the locking member is formed to surround the rotating member on the side of the rotating member and extends downward from the rotating member. In addition, since the lock member must receive the reaction force due to the rotation torque of the rotating member, the lock member contacts the inner wall of the reel body and receives the reaction force. Therefore, the space occupied by the lock member for arranging the lock member is required in the vertical and horizontal directions of the reel body, which may lead to an increase in the size of the reel body.
[0010]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to make it possible to lock a rotating member in a drag switching device for a spinning reel without increasing the size of the reel body.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A drag switching device for a spinning reel according to a first aspect of the present invention is a drag switching device for a spinning reel that switches an operation state of a drag mechanism that brakes a spool that moves back and forth by rotation of a handle rotatably mounted on a reel body of the spinning reel. A rotating member, an operating member, a locking member, a first urging unit, and a second urging unit. The rotating member is provided with a plurality of engagements formed so as to be rotatable or non-rotatable with respect to a spool shaft on which a spool is mounted at a leading end and so as not to be able to move back and forth with respect to the reel body and formed on the outer periphery at circumferential intervals. It is a member which has a part and comprises a drag mechanism. The operation member is a member mounted on the reel body so as to be swingable about a first axis that is different from the spool shaft between the lock position and the release position. The lock member engages with one of the plurality of engagement portions to lock the rotation member so that the rotation member cannot rotate. This is a member that is provided to be rotatable with respect to the operating member and that rotates from the locked position to the separated position in conjunction with the swing of the operating member from the lock position to the release position. The first biasing means is means for locking both ends of the locking member and the reel body separately, and biasing the locking member toward the locking position. The second biasing means is configured such that both ends thereof are separately locked to the operating member and the reel body, respectively, to bias the operating member between the lock position and the release position, and to bias the operation member toward the release position by the first bias. Means greater than the urging force of the means.
[0012]
In this drag switching device, when the operation member is swung to the lock position, the operation member is urged to the lock position by the second urging member and is held at the lock position. Then, the lock member is urged by the first urging means and swings to the locking position to engage with the engagement portion of the rotating member. As a result, the rotating member is locked by the locking member and cannot be rotated. When the rotating member is provided so as not to rotate with respect to the spool shaft, the spool shaft becomes unable to rotate. Therefore, a drag mechanism such as a front drag mechanism that directly brakes the spool can be operated. Further, when the rotating member is provided rotatably with respect to the spool, the rotating member becomes unrotatable and rotatable with respect to the spool shaft, so that the spool is indirectly braked via the spool shaft. A drag mechanism, such as a rear drag mechanism, can be operated.
[0013]
When the operating member is operated from the lock position to the release position, the operating member is urged to the release position and held at the release position when the dead center of the second urging means is exceeded. The lock member is separated from the locking position against the urging force of the first urging means in conjunction with the swing of the operating member urged by the second urging means, the urging force being stronger than the first urging means. Rocks. As a result, the rotating member is unlocked and becomes rotatable. In this state, when the rotating member is provided so as not to rotate with respect to the spool shaft, the spool shaft can rotate. As a result, the drag mechanism that directly brakes the spool becomes inoperable. When the rotating member is rotatable with respect to the spool shaft, the rotating member becomes rotatable, so that the drag mechanism that indirectly brakes the spool via the spool shaft becomes inoperable.
[0014]
Here, a lock member that swings about an axis different from the rotation member that rotates about the spool axis is engaged with an engagement portion of the rotation member, and the rotation member is switched between a non-rotatable state and a rotatable state. . For this reason, the rotating member can be locked only by swinging the locking member around the same first axis as the operating member, and the locking member can be arranged in a small space. Moreover, since the lock member and the rotating member are arranged around different axes, the swing shaft can reliably receive the reaction force due to the rotating torque of the rotating member. Therefore, it is not necessary to bring the lock member into contact with the reel body, and the lock member can be arranged in a more compact space. Therefore, the rotating member can be locked without increasing the size of the reel body. Further, since the lock member is urged toward the locking position by the first urging means, it is not necessary to adjust the phase between the lock member and the engaging portion of the rotating member.

Furthermore, the rotating member is rotatably or non-rotatably mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular member. In this case, since the rotating member is mounted on the cylindrical member which is non-rotatably mounted on the spool shaft and whose longitudinal movement is restricted with respect to the reel body, the rotating member is part of the configuration of the drag mechanism. In this case, the configuration of the drag mechanism is simplified by mounting the drag disk on the tubular member.

And the locking projection of the interlocking portion comes into contact with the lock member to swing the lock member to the separated position. When the second urging means exceeds the dead center, the interlocking portion is urged and is held at the release position. When the operation member is swung from the release position to the lock position with the operation portion, the locking projection is separated from the lock member, and the lock member is urged toward the lock position by the first urging means. Then, when the engaging portion of the rotating member rotates to a position where it engages with the lock member, the rotating member swings to the locking position and the rotating member is locked. Here, since the lock member and the interlocking part are arranged side by side on the shaft part and the operation part is separately arranged, the restriction on the arrangement of the operation part is relaxed, so that the operation part can be easily arranged and the operation member release position The locking member can be swung to the separated position side by the interlocking part in conjunction with the swinging to the side.

The second large-diameter portion 76c has a long hole 76e that is non-rotatably locked at the tip of the chamfered portion 76d of the small-diameter portion 76b.
[0044]
The operation unit 77 has first and second lever portions 77a and 77b. The first lever portion 77a is formed integrally with the first large-diameter portion 76a of the shaft portion 76, and has a tip extending radially outward from the shaft portion 76. The first lever portion 77a has a radially outwardly extending distal end extending substantially parallel to the shaft portion 76 toward the second lever portion 77b. The second lever portion 77b is formed integrally with the second large-diameter portion 76c, and has a distal end extending radially outward from the shaft portion 76, similarly to the first lever portion 77a. The second lever portion 77b slightly extends toward the first lever portion 77a such that a distal end extending radially outward is fixedly screwed to the first lever portion 77a. Therefore, the operation unit 77 is formed in a substantially C shape over the upper portions of the reel body 2a and the lid member 2b.
[0045]
The interlocking portion 78 has a mounting portion 78a non-rotatably mounted on the small diameter portion 76b, and an arm portion 78b extending radially outward from the mounting portion 78a. The mounting portion 78a has a long hole 78c that is non-rotatably locked to the chamfered portion 76d of the small diameter portion 76b. A locking hole 78d for locking the first toggle spring 74 is formed at the tip of the arm portion 78b in parallel with the shaft portion 76, and a mounting pin 78e for mounting the return mechanism 75 is provided on the shaft portion. It is formed so as to project in parallel with 76. Further, the interlocking portion 78 is formed with an interlocking projection 78f that is interlockedly moved to move the lock member 72 from the interlocked position to the separated position. When the operation portion 77 swings from the lock position to the release position, the locking projection 78f contacts a lock claw 72b (described later) of the lock member 72 and engages the lock member 72 in conjunction with the swing of the operation portion 77. Swing from the stop position to the release position.
[0046]
The lock member 72 has a ring-shaped mounting portion 72a rotatably mounted on the small-diameter portion 76b of the shaft portion 76 at a locking position and a separated position, and a lock claw 72b extending radially outward from the mounting portion. ing. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lock claw 72 b is a plate-like member whose tip is slightly curved upward, a torsion coil spring 73 is locked at the top of the tip, and the lock member 72 is locked at the locking position. Biased to the side. When in the locking position, the lock claw 72b is disposed on the engaging portion 52a of the rotating member 52 and makes the rotating member 42 unrotatable. As a result, the spool shaft 15 becomes unrotatable via the tubular member 51, the rear drag mechanism 7 becomes inoperable, and the front drag mechanism 8 becomes operable. When the lock claw 72b is at the separated position, the spool shaft 15 becomes rotatable, the rear drag mechanism 7 becomes operable, and the front drag mechanism 8 becomes inoperable.
[0047]
One end of the torsion coil spring 73 is locked to the reel body 2a, and the other end is locked to the lock claw 72b of the lock member as described above. Then, the lock member 72 is urged toward the locking position (clockwise in FIG. 3).
The first toggle spring 74 is a torsion coil spring having one end locked to the reel body 2a and the other end locked to a locking hole 78d at the tip of the arm portion 78b of the interlocking portion 78. The control lever 71 is divided into a lock position and a release position to be urged. Thereby, the position of the operation lever 71 is held between the lock position and the release position. The spring force of the first toggle spring 74 is set such that the biasing force toward the release position is greater than the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 73. As a result, even when the lock member 72 is urged toward the locking position by the torsion coil spring 73, the lock member 72 can be held at the separation position by the operation lever 71.
[0048]
When the operating lever 71 is urged by the first toggle spring 74, the arm portion 78b is positioned in contact with the inner side surface of the reel body 2a in the locked position, and the first lever portion 77a in the released position. The portion straddling the reel body 2a and the lid member 2b is positioned in contact with the upper outer surface of the reel body 2a and the lid member 2b.
[0049]
The return mechanism 75 includes a return protrusion 81 formed on the face gear 11 and a base end connected to the operation lever 71, as shown in FIGS. A return member 82 movably provided on the reel body 2a between a contact position shown in FIG. 5A and a release position shown in FIG. 5B separating from the return protrusion 81, and the return member 82 is separated from the contact position. And a second toggle spring 83 that is biased by being distributed to the position.
[0050]
The return protrusions 81 are formed on the rear surface of the face gear 11 so as to protrude in an axial direction parallel to the first axis X, and are provided two at intervals in the rotation direction. Note that the number of the return protrusions 81 is not limited to two. Further, the projecting direction of the return projection is not limited to the first axial direction, and may project in the radial direction. However, the configuration of the return mechanism 75 is made compact by projecting the return projection 81 on the back surface of the face gear 11.
[0051]
The return member 82 is a plate-like member, and has a movement guide 82a cut out in a substantially parallelogram shape at the center portion, and a return claw 82b contacting the return protrusion 81 at the tip. The base end of the return member 82 is swingably connected to the mounting pin 78e of the interlocking portion 78. A spring engaging portion 82c extending rearward is formed on the way, and one end of the second toggle spring 83 is engaged with the spring engaging portion 82c. A boss 2m protruding from the reel body 2a is engaged with the movement guide 82a, and the movement of the return member 82 is caused by the boss 2m to come into contact with the return projection 81 and to separate from the return projection 81. The position is restricted to. The movement of the return member 82 toward the lid member 2b is restricted by the mounting frame 2k.
[0052]
One end of the second toggle spring 83 is locked by the spring locking portion 82c of the return member 82, and the other end is locked by a locking shaft 2m erected on the mounting frame 2k.
[Reel operation and operation]
Before casting, the switching lever 67 is operated to set the rotor 3 in the reverse rotation prohibited state by the reverse rotation prevention mechanism 66. In addition, the bail arm 33 is flipped to the line releasing posture by holding the bail arm 33 by hand. Further, the operation lever 71 is swung to the release position side shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.
[0053]
When the operation lever 71 is swung toward the release position, the locking projection 78f of the interlocking portion 78 comes into contact with and presses the lock claw 72b, and the lock member 72 moves toward the separation position. When the dead point of the first toggle spring 74 is exceeded, the operation lever 71 is urged toward the release position and is held at the release position. Further, the lock member 72 is urged by the first toggle spring 74 via the interlocking portion 78 against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 73, swings from the locked position to the separated position, and is held at the separated position. You. As a result, the rotation member 52 becomes rotatable, the front drag mechanism 8 becomes inoperable, and the rear drag mechanism 7 becomes operable. Thereby, a weak drag force is applied to the spool 4. In the return mechanism 75, the return claw 82 b at the tip of the return member 82 moves toward a contact position where the return claw 82 b can contact the return protrusion 81 by the swing of the interlocking portion 78, and exceeds the dead center of the second toggle spring 83. Is held in the contact position.
[0054]
Adjustment of the drag force of the rear drag mechanism 7 is performed, for example, in accordance with the wind or water current at the fishing spot. When the rear drag knob 50 is rotated clockwise, for example, the compressive force of the coil spring 62 increases, and the drag force increases. That is, when the rear drag knob 50 is rotated clockwise, the nut member 61 advances leftward in FIG. 3 and compresses the coil spring 62. When the coil spring 62 is compressed, the pressing force on the drag disks 53a and 53b increases, and the rotating member 52 is strongly braked. As a result, the drag force for braking the spool shaft 15 via the tubular member 51 increases. Conversely, when the rear drag knob 50 is rotated counterclockwise, the drag force becomes weak.
[0055]
When these operations are completed, casting is performed. When the casting is completed, the bail arm 33 is returned to the line winding position by hand, and waits for a fish hit. When the fish is hooked, the spool 4 is reversed. When the spool 4 rotates in the reverse direction, the operation lever 71 is at the release position, so that the tubular member 51 rotates together with the spool shaft 15 and the sound generation mechanism emits sound.
[0056]
When checking and matching fish stakes, the handle 1 is rotated in the line winding direction. Then, the return protrusion 81 presses the return claw 82b to move the return member 82 toward the separated position. When the second toggle spring 83 exceeds the dead center, it is held at the separated position. With this movement, the interlocking portion 78 swings, the operating portion 77 also swings via the shaft portion 76, and the operating lever 71 swings from the release position to the lock position. As a result, the pressing of the locking member 72 by the locking projection 78f of the interlocking portion 78 is released, and the locking member 72 also rotates toward the locked position. Then, when the dead center of the first toggle spring 74 is exceeded, the operation lever 71 swings to the lock position and is held. When the engaging portion 52a of the rotating member 52 is disposed at a position facing the locking claw 72b, the locking member 72 is rotated to the locking position by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 73, and the rotating member 52 is rotated. Is locked so that it cannot rotate.
[0057]
In this state, the spool shaft 15 is locked so as not to rotate via the tubular member 51, so that the rear drag mechanism 7 cannot be operated, the front drag mechanism 8 can be operated, and a strong drag force is applied to the spool 4. I do.
Here, the lock member 72 that swings around an axis that is different from the rotation member 52 that rotates around the spool shaft 15 is engaged with the engagement portion 52a of the rotation member 52, and the rotation member 52 can be turned into a non-rotatable state. State. Therefore, the rotation member 52 can be locked only by swinging the lock member 72 around the same first axis X as the operation lever 71, and the lock member 72 can be arranged in a small space. In addition, since the lock member 72 and the rotating member 52 are arranged around a different axis, the shaft portion 76 can reliably receive the reaction force due to the rotating torque of the rotating member 52. Therefore, it is not necessary to bring the lock member 72 into contact with the reel body 2, and the lock member 72 can be arranged in a more compact space. Therefore, the rotation member 52 can be locked without increasing the size of the reel body 2. Further, since the lock member 72 is urged toward the locking position by the torsion coil spring 73, the phase adjustment between the lock member 72 and the engaging portion 52a of the rotating member 52 becomes unnecessary.
[0058]
[Other embodiments]
(A) In the above embodiment, the drag switching mechanism 9 for switching between the front drag mechanism 8 and the rear drag mechanism 7 has been exemplified. However, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the drag switching mechanism 9 is replaced with the rear drag mechanism 107 and the intermediate drag mechanism. 108 can be switched.

The rear lug knob 150 is rotatably mounted on a cylindrical screw tube portion 102d screwed and fixed to a rear portion of the reel body 2a. The rear lug knob 150 includes a knob main body 160 rotatably mounted on the screw cylinder portion 102d, and a nut member 161 mounted on the knob main body 160 so as to be non-rotatably and axially movable. A coil spring 162 is mounted between the nut member 161 and the second drag disk 153b in a compressed state. Since the configuration of these rear drag knobs 150 is substantially the same as that of the above-described embodiment, detailed description will be omitted.
[0062]
The first cylindrical member 151 is rotatable in a state in which the first cylindrical member 151 is restricted from moving forward through a through hole 102i formed in a plate-shaped mounting portion 102h provided in the screw cylindrical portion 102d via a second drag disk 153a. It is installed. Further, similarly to the tubular member 51, the backward movement is also restricted by the coil spring 162, and the first tubular member 151 cannot move in the axial direction with respect to the reel body 2.
[0063]
The first cylindrical member 151 is non-rotatably mounted on a chamfered portion 115 c formed at the rear end of the spool shaft 115 and opposed to each other in parallel with each other so as to be axially movable with respect to the spool shaft 115. An elongated hole 151a that engages with the chamfered portion 115c is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the first tubular member 151. Four projections 151b projecting radially outward are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction at an intermediate portion of the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical member 151, and are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the first drag disk 152. Is formed with four recesses 152a which are locked to the protrusions 151b. As a result, the first drag disk 152 cannot rotate with respect to the first tubular member 151. The second drag disks 153a, 153b have locking projections (not shown) similar to the drag disks 53a, 53b of the above-described embodiment, and are locked to the screw cylinder 102d so as not to rotate.
[0064]
In the rear drag mechanism 107 having such a configuration, the drag force can always be applied to the spool 104, and the drag force can be adjusted by rotating the rear drag knob 150.
The intermediate drag mechanism 108 is disposed in front of the rear drag mechanism 107 and has the same configuration as the rear drag mechanism 7 of the above-described embodiment, but the rotating member 252 is rotatable with respect to the second tubular member 251. Is different.
[0065]
The intermediate drag mechanism 108 is screwed to an outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical member 251 and a second cylindrical member 251 mounted non-rotatably and axially movable on the spool shaft 115 in front of the first cylindrical member 151. An intermediate drag adjusting nut 250, a rotating member 252 rotatably mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical member 251, and two drag disks 253a and 253b contacting both sides of the second rotating member 252. are doing. The intermediate drag adjustment nut 250 presses the drag disk 253b via the disc spring 255. Thereby, the drag force of the intermediate drag mechanism 108 can be adjusted.
[0066]
The second cylindrical member 251 constitutes the intermediate drag mechanism 108 and constitutes the drag switching mechanism 9. The second tubular member 251 is arranged in contact with the front end of the first tubular member 151. The second tubular member 251 is rotatably mounted in a stepped through hole 2i formed in a plate-shaped mounting portion 2h provided at the rear portion of the reel body 2a in a state where the movement is restricted to the front. . Similarly to the cylindrical member 51, the second cylindrical member 251 is not rotatable by a chamfered portion 115 c formed at the rear end of the spool shaft 115 and facing in parallel with each other, and is axially movable relative to the spool shaft 115. It is freely attached. The length of the chamfered portion 115c of the spool shaft 115 is longer than that of the spool shaft 15, and the shape of the tip is different due to the one-touch attachment / detachment mechanism 104d.
[0067]
A long hole 251a that engages with the chamfered portion 115c is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the second cylindrical member 251. The second tubular member 251 includes a sound-producing gear 251b formed on the front side, a flange 251c formed larger in diameter than the gear 251b, and a support 251d formed smaller in diameter than the flange 251c. have. The support portion 251d is formed with a chamfered portion 251e formed in parallel with each other. The flange portion 251c is in contact with the step of the through hole 2i, thereby restricting the forward movement of the second tubular member 251. Further, the backward movement is also restricted by the first tubular member 151. The tip of a sounding spring (not shown) that is sounded when the intermediate drag mechanism 108 operates (when the spool shaft 115 rotates) is in contact with the gear portion 251b.
[0068]
The rotating member 252 is a disk-shaped member rotatably mounted on the second cylindrical member 251, and forms the intermediate drag mechanism 108 and the drag switching mechanism 9. The rotating member 252 has a plurality of engaging portions 252a arranged on the outer peripheral surface at intervals in the circumferential direction. The engaging portion 252a is formed to be recessed from the outer peripheral portion.
The drag disks 253a and 253b are arranged with the rotating member 252 interposed therebetween through, for example, felt washers 254a and 254b, and are non-rotatably mounted on the support portion 251d of the second cylindrical member 251.
[0069]
The rotation member 252 is switched between a rotatable state and a non-rotatable state by the lock member 72 of the drag switching mechanism 9. Thereby, the intermediate drag mechanism 108 is switched between an inoperable state (rotational state of the rotating member 252) and an inoperable state (rotatable state of the rotating member 252).
The configuration of the drag switching mechanism 9 is the same as that of the above-described embodiment. When the operation lever 71 is operated to the lock position shown by the solid line in FIG. 7, the rotating member 252 is locked. As a result, the intermediate drag mechanism 108 becomes operable, and the spool 104 is braked by the drag force obtained by adding the drag force of the rear drag mechanism 107 and the drag force of the intermediate drag mechanism 108. When the operation lever 71 is operated to a release position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. As a result, the intermediate drag mechanism 108 becomes inoperable, and the spool 104 is braked by the drag force of the rear drag mechanism 107.
[0070]
(B) As shown in FIG. 8, in the interlocking portion 78 of the operation lever 71, the locking hole 178d of the connecting portion with the first toggle spring 74 may be formed as a long hole instead of a round hole. In FIG. 8, the arc-shaped long hole is formed, but the shape is not limited to the arc shape. When such a long locking hole 178d is formed, when the operation lever 71 swings between the lock position and the release position, the first toggle spring 74 moves the end of the locking hole 178d near the position beyond the dead center. Move and pronounce. Thereby, a click sound can be given to the operation lever 71.
[0071]
Further, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, a metal pipe-shaped spacer 74a may be attached to the locking end of the first toggle spring 74, and the spacer 74a may be locked in the locking hole 178d. In this case, the sound quality of the click sound is improved.
(C) In the above embodiment, the rotating member and the drag disk are mounted on the cylindrical member in order to prevent the rotating member and the drag disk from moving back and forth due to the longitudinal movement of the spool shaft. If it does not move back and forth with respect to the movement, there is no need to provide a tubular member.
[0072]
【The invention's effect】
ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the rotation member which rotates about a spool axis | shaft which intersects with the rotation member which rotates around a spool axis is engaged with the engagement part of a rotation member, and the rotation member is made into a non-rotatable state and a rotatable state. Switching. For this reason, the rotating member can be locked only by swinging the locking member around the same first axis as the operating member, and the locking member can be arranged in a small space. Moreover, since the lock member and the rotating member are arranged around different axes, the swing shaft can reliably receive the reaction force due to the rotating torque of the rotating member. Therefore, it is not necessary to bring the lock member into contact with the reel body, and the lock member can be arranged in a more compact space. Therefore, the rotating member can be locked without increasing the size of the reel body. Further, since the lock member is urged toward the locking position by the first urging means, it is not necessary to adjust the phase between the lock member and the engaging portion of the rotating member.
