Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing spinning reel having an improved retaining structure for a retaining member for retaining a friction plate of a drag mechanism.

Conventionally, a fishing spinning reel has been supported by a spool for winding and holding a fishing line via a spool shaft. The spool is applied in the direction of feeding a fishing line while applying a braking force to the spool. A configuration in which a drag mechanism is provided in the spool accommodating portion in order to allow rotation is known.
The drag mechanism is generally composed of a plurality of friction plates, and the friction force can be adjusted by an adjustment knob provided on the drag mechanism.
The plurality of friction plates in the drag mechanism are held in the receiving portion by the retaining ring, and even if the drag adjusting knob is removed at the time of changing the spool, the friction plates are removed from the receiving portion. It is the structure which prevents doing.
As described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the retaining ring is formed in an annular groove formed in the annular wall portion of the housing portion, or an annular groove formed in a portion extending from the ring for fixing the front collar into the housing portion. It is generally locked.
JP 59-17931 A JP 2000-217473 A

However, in any case, since the engaging groove is provided on the annular inner peripheral surface, it is necessary to perform a centering process, and there is a problem that the processing is troublesome and the processing cost increases.
Further, considering the strength and machining allowance at the portion where the locking groove is formed, a certain amount of thickness is required, and thus it is difficult to reduce the weight.
In particular, the locking groove is provided in the vicinity of the front end portion of the spool located on the front side, which is the tip side of the spinning reel, and as a result, the weight on the front side of the hook mounting leg portion can be sufficiently reduced. As a result, the reel becomes a balance closer to the tip of the tip, the balance when gripping the heel is poor, and there is still room for improvement.
In order to remedy the above problem, the present applicant has proposed a configuration in which a retaining portion for retaining the friction plate of the drag mechanism is formed in the front side flange portion formed separately from the spool in Patent Document 3.
JP-A-9-298994

The above configuration has an excellent effect that the problems of Patent Documents 1 and 2 can be solved. However, the friction plate of the drag is worn and worn, and the friction plate needs to be replaced. In doing so, it is necessary to once separate the collar from the spool.
For this reason, since the friction plate cannot be replaced unless the line is removed from the fishing line winding body portion, it takes a little time and a problem that the cost at the time of replacement has been pointed out, and improvement has been desired.

  The problem to be solved is that when the retaining ring for retaining the plurality of friction plates of the drag mechanism is held by the retaining groove provided on the annular inner peripheral surface, It is necessary to perform grind processing, there is a problem that the processing is troublesome and the processing cost increases, and a certain thickness is required at the site where the locking groove is formed considering the strength and processing cost Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the weight.

  In view of the above-described drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing spinning reel that eliminates the need for groove processing of a medium grind, reduces processing costs, and facilitates replacement of friction plates.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a reel main body, a splinet supported by the reel main body via a spool shaft, and having a fishing line winding body between the front side hook and the rear side hook. A drag mechanism accommodating portion opened radially inward of the fishing line winding body portion and forward of the tip of the fishing line, and a plurality of members provided in the accommodating portion and between the spool shaft and the spool. A drag mechanism configured to allow the brake to rotate and rotate with respect to the spool shaft by a friction plate and having an adjustment knob capable of adjusting the braking force; and a front side of the front side of the spool; An anti-tangle part formed separately from the spool, in a spinning reel for fishing, which is provided on the outer side in the radial direction of the adjustment knob and has a tangle prevention part for preventing tangles on the adjustment knob. Is attached and fixed in the vicinity of the opening end of the spool housing portion. A recess formed at a predetermined interval in the spool axis direction is provided between the housing portion and the yarn entanglement prevention portion, and a retaining member for retaining the friction plate of the drag mechanism is engaged with the recess. The gist of the present invention is that the engaging portion is capable of.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a reel main body, a splinet supported by the reel main body via a spool shaft, and having a fishing line winding body between the front side hook and the rear side hook. A drag mechanism accommodating portion opened radially inward of the fishing line winding body portion and forward of the tip of the fishing line, and a plurality of members provided in the accommodating portion and between the spool shaft and the spool. In a fishing spinning reel comprising a drag mechanism with an adjusting knob, which is configured to allow a braking rotation of the spool relative to the spool shaft by a friction plate and which can adjust the braking force. An annular step portion having an inner diameter larger than that of the housing portion is formed on the inner peripheral surface in the vicinity of the opening end of the portion, and a ring member separate from the spool is allowed to be fixed. Annular vertical wall and ring part in the annular step part A recess formed at a predetermined interval in the spool axial direction, and an engagement portion capable of engaging the recess with a retaining member for retaining the friction plate of the drag mechanism. This is what I have done.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the recessed portion in which the friction plate of the drag mechanism and the retaining member for retaining the dish-shaped ratchet ring are engaged is formed in the opening recessed portion separately from the spool. Since the ring portion, which is an annular extending portion located on the radially inner side of the yarn entanglement prevention portion, is configured by being fitted and fixed at a predetermined interval in the opening concave portion and the spool axial direction, It eliminates the need for machining the center groove in the spool or separate thread entanglement prevention part, and also eliminates the need to remove the front collar of the spool, reducing machining costs and friction of the drag mechanism. It is possible to simultaneously reduce the troublesomeness in exchanging plates and the cost in exchanging friction plates.
In addition, the separate thread entanglement prevention part also serves as a lid member when a concave portion for removing the meat is provided on the outside of the cylindrical fixing part of the spool, thereby reducing the weight of the front side of the spool. I can plan.
Further, since it is not necessary to process the groove of the medium grind in the spool or the separate yarn entanglement prevention portion, it is not necessary to make it thick to take the machining allowance, and the weight can be reduced.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, a separate ring member is fitted and fixed to the inner peripheral surface in the vicinity of the opening end portion with a predetermined distance from the opening concave portion in the spool axial direction. Since the front collar and thread entanglement prevention part are integrated with the spool, the structure is simplified, the number of parts is reduced, and the parts and assembly costs can be reduced. This eliminates the need to remove the groove on the spool, and eliminates the need to remove the front flange of the spool, thus reducing processing costs and the troublesomeness of replacing the friction plate of the drag mechanism and the replacement of the friction plate. Cost reduction at the same time.
Further, since it is not necessary to form a slot in the spool or a separate ring member, it is not necessary to increase the thickness in order to take a machining allowance, and the weight can be reduced.

The fishing spinning reel is supported so as to be axially movable and non-rotatable with respect to the reel body 1, and is attached to the front end of the spool shaft 2 protruding toward the front side of the reel body.
