  By the way, in an actual fishing spot, while using a heavy device to some extent, depending on the case, it is possible to change the device and release or drop a light device to a distant point. In such a case, since the importance of free rotation of the spool (low spool rotation resistance) is important, the fisherman purchases a fishing reel with low spool rotation resistance in advance and uses it as a spare for fishing. Bring it with you or use the existing fishing reel as is.

  For this reason, there are problems such as being wasteful in cost and inferior in portability, and even if the existing fishing reel is used as it is, the light load cast performance is inferior, so during actual fishing However, there is a problem that it cannot be used in a state suitable for the weight of the device to be cast.

  The present invention has been made on the basis of the above-described problem, and a fishing reel capable of changing the free rotation performance of the spool while being a single fishing reel, and such fishing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a spool unit used for an industrial reel.

  To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a fishing reel in which a spool shaft having a spool around which a fishing line is wound is rotatably supported via a bearing mounted on a bearing support portion of the reel body. An annular support is detachably fitted and held between the bearing support portion of the reel body and the bearing.

  In the fishing reel having the above-described configuration, the bearing is held by interposing the annular support in the bearing support portion of the reel body. It is possible to use a bearing having a diameter reduced by the thickness, thereby reducing the frictional resistance during rotation inside the bearing and improving the free rotation performance of the spool.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a fishing reel in which a spool shaft having a spool around which a fishing line is wound is rotatably supported via a bearing mounted on a bearing support portion of the reel body. The spool unit includes a small-diameter bearing having a smaller diameter than the bearing, and an annular support body that can be attached to and detached from the bearing support portion. It can be attached to the part with the annular support interposed therebetween.

  Such a spool unit can be exchanged for a fishing reel equipped with a normal spool unit (basic spool unit). No need to carry a fishing reel. The exchanged spool unit includes an annular support mounted on the bearing support portion, and the diameter of the bearing is reduced with respect to the basic spool unit, and the rotation resistance is reduced accordingly. Since the spool shaft is replaced, the friction resistance during rotation at the bearing portion is reduced when compared with the basic spool unit when the reel body is exchanged and mounted, and free rotation performance is improved.

  In the above-described spool unit to be replaced, the reduced-diameter bearing and the annular support may be integrated with the spool shaft in advance, or may be detachable from the spool shaft. It may be.

  According to the configuration of the present invention, the free rotation performance of the spool can be improved, and the free rotation performance of the spool can be changed while using one fishing reel.

  1 is a view showing an embodiment of a fishing reel according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a spool portion, and FIG. 3 is attached to the fishing reel shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the structure of the exchangeable spool unit (exchange spool unit). 4 and 5 are diagrams showing a configuration of a spool unit (basic spool unit) that is initially mounted in the fishing reel shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a fishing reel reel body 1 includes left and right frames 2a and 2b and left and right side plates 3a and 3b attached to the left and right frames 2a and 2b with a predetermined space.

  An exchange spool unit 10 is mounted between the left and right frames 2a and 2b (left and right side plates 3a and 3b). The replacement spool unit 10 includes a spool shaft 12 and a spool 13 that is fixed to the spool shaft 12 and on which a fishing line is wound. The spool shaft 12 has bearings 15a and 15b at both ends thereof. Further, the bearings are rotatably supported by concave bearing support portions 2c and 2d formed on the frames 2a and 2b of the reel body 1 via annular supports 16a and 16b having a predetermined thickness, respectively. The configuration and support structure of the replacement spool unit 10 will be described later.

  A handle shaft 20 is disposed on the right frame 2b side. The handle shaft 20 is rotatably supported on the right frame 2b via a bearing and is interposed between the right frame and the right plate. A rolling one-way clutch (not shown) can rotate only in the fishing line winding direction. The end of the handle shaft 20 protrudes from the right side plate 3b, and the handle 21 is attached to that portion. The handle 21 is provided with a lever 21b having a handle knob 21a attached to the tip thereof, and a base end portion of the lever 21b is attached to the handle shaft 20.

  Between the right frame 2b and the right side plate 3b, there is a driving force transmission mechanism for transmitting the rotational movement of the handle 21 to the spool shaft 12, a clutch mechanism for transferring the driving force, and a spool 13 for fishing. When the fishing line is unwound, a braking device for applying a drag force to the spool 13 is accommodated.

  The driving force transmission mechanism includes a driving gear 22 that is rotatably supported by the handle shaft 20 and a pinion 23 that meshes with the driving gear 22. The pinion 23 is supported between the right frame 2 b via a bearing 23 a, is rotatably provided on a pinion shaft 24 that extends coaxially with the spool shaft 12, and extends along the pinion shaft 24. Can be moved in the axial direction. Further, a circumferential groove 23b is formed on the outer periphery of the pinion 23, and an operating member 25 of the clutch mechanism is engaged with the circumferential groove, and the driving force is generated by moving the pinion 23 in the axial direction. It is to be inherited.

  A fitting portion is formed at the end of the pinion 23, the pinion 23 is moved to the spool side by the operating member 25 of the clutch mechanism, and the fitting portion is fitted into the end of the spool shaft 12. By engaging with the engaging pin 12a, the driving force is transmitted (clutch ON state), and the pinion 23 is moved to the right side plate by the operating member, and the engaging portion is disengaged from the engaging pin 12a. A force non-transmission state (clutch OFF state) is established.

  The actuating member 25 moves the pinion 23 to the clutch OFF state by pressing the operation lever 27 disposed between the left and right frames, and the pinion 23 is turned on by the winding operation of the handle 21. (These mechanisms are well-known techniques and will not be described in detail).

  In addition, the braking device is configured by accommodating a plurality of friction plates in a recess formed in the drive gear 22, for example, and rotationally operates an adjustment member 29 attached to the end of the handle shaft 20. As a result, the pressing force against the friction plate is increased or decreased, whereby a desired braking is applied to the rotation of the spool 13 in the fishing line feeding direction.

  The above-described replacement spool unit 10 is configured as shown in FIG. 3. For example, the replacement spool unit 10 can be detached from the reel body by pulling it out in the axial direction with the left side plate 3 a removed from the left frame 2 a. Yes. The spool shaft 12 constituting the replacement spool unit 10 is fitted and held (press-fitted) into a bearing 15a and a concave bearing support portion 2c formed on the reel body (left frame) on the outer side of the bearing 15a. An annular support 16a is mounted, and an annular support that is fitted and held (press-fitted) into a bearing 15b at the right end and a concave bearing support 2d formed on the reel body (right frame) on the outside thereof. A body 16b is attached.

  In the configuration of the present embodiment, the bearing 15b and the annular support body 16b are mounted on the spool shaft 12 in advance, and then the engaging pin 12a is press-fitted into the spool shaft 12 from the radial direction, so that these constituent members are provided. Is integrated with the spool shaft 12. Further, the bearing 15a and the annular support body 16a are not necessarily integrated with the spool shaft 12 because the engagement pins as described above are not press-fitted.

  In the case where the right end surface of the spool shaft 12 is configured to have a non-circular cross-section instead of the engagement pin 12a described above in the fitting relationship with the fitting portion of the pinion 23 described above, the bearing 15b The annular support 16b may not be integrated with the spool shaft 12. The bearing 15a and the annular support 16a may be integrated with the spool shaft 12 on the contrary.

  The above-described replacement spool unit 10 holds the bearings 15a and 15b with the bearing supports 2c and 2d of the reel body interposed between the annular supports 16a and 16b. Compared with FIG. 5), the spool shaft 12 and the bearings 15a and 15b can be reduced in diameter by the thickness of the annular support.

  That is, as compared with the spool shaft 52, the spool 53, and the bearings 55a and 55b constituting the basic spool unit 50 that is initially mounted on the bearing support portions 2c and 2d of the reel body, the replacement spool unit 10 has a spool shaft. The diameter of at least the bearing portion of 12 can be reduced (D> d in the figure), and the bearings 15a and 15b having a smaller friction resistance (rotational resistance) than the bearings 55a and 55b can be used.

  The replacement spool unit 10 described above can be replaced with a basic spool unit 50 that is mounted in advance on the reel body. Compared with the basic spool unit 50, the friction resistance during rotation at the bearing portion is reduced. Free rotation performance will be improved. That is, the angler may remove the basic spool unit 50 from the reel body and install the replacement spool unit 10 when a fishing method with high free rotation performance of the spool is required, such as casting a lightly loaded device. Eliminates the need to carry different types of fishing reels. When the use of the light load device casting is finished, the original basic spool unit 50 may be replaced.

  As described above, although it is a single fishing reel, it is possible to cope with the difference in the mechanism and the fishing method, and the convenience can be improved.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above-described replacement spool unit may be such that either the left or right bearing has a smaller diameter than the bearing of the basic spool unit. For example, the structure which does not interpose the cyclic | annular support body 16a in the bearing support part 2c by the side of a counter handle may be sufficient. Further, the spool 13 of the replacement spool unit 10 may have a different configuration from the spool 53 of the basic spool unit 50. Furthermore, the spool shaft 12 of the replacement spool unit 10 may have a smaller diameter than the spool shaft 52 over the entire axial direction.
