Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a spool that is rotatably supported between side plates of a reel body.

  In the double-bearing reel, which is a fishing reel, a spool for winding and holding a fishing line is rotatably supported between both side plates in accordance with the winding operation of the handle. Generally, the spool is formed by cutting an aluminum alloy so that the weight can be reduced. After anodizing, the desired dyeing and sealing treatment is performed, and the spool can be rotated. A spool shaft for supporting is inserted and fixed.

  The spool shaft is rotatably supported by a bearing installed between the side plates. However, when slight fluctuation occurs on the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool with respect to the spool shaft, as disclosed in Patent Document 1. The outer peripheral surface of the spool flange comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the annular cover of the reel body that is overlapped with a minute gap on the radially outer side of the outer peripheral surface of the flange.

In order to solve such a problem, a spool manufacturing method is known in which after the spool shaft is inserted and fixed to the spool, the outer periphery of the spool is cut using the spool shaft as a proof. The spool created in such a manufacturing process is masked on the outer periphery of the spool shaft (for example, on the spool shaft) in order to protect the spool shaft made of stainless steel from the electrolyte when performing surface treatment such as anodizing. A method of attaching a masking cap) is common.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a general spool includes a winding drum portion 10b around which a fishing line is wound, a central coupling portion 10c integrated into a disk shape at the central portion of the winding drum portion 10b, and a spool shaft. The cylindrical portion 10d is inserted and supported, and these are integrally formed of an aluminum alloy, a magnesium alloy, or the like. Then, when performing the surface treatment as described above, a masking process is performed to protect the spool shaft 12. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a masking cap 50 is press-fitted along the spool shaft so as to completely cover the spool shaft 12 protruding from the side surface of the spool. An adhesive is used in combination for prevention and sealing performance (only press-fitting of the masking cap 50 is insufficient).

  However, in some cases, the adhesive may flow during the actual anodizing process, or the amount of the adhesive or the application position may be uneven during the masking process. When such a problem occurs, there is a portion where the alumite coating layer due to defective electrolysis is not formed on the spool side portion (here, the spool side surface 10a which is the exposed surface of the central connecting portion 10c) to which the masking cap is attached. It may occur (alumite defect) or color unevenness may occur when dyeing.

  As shown in FIG. 6, such alumite defects and color unevenness 60 are not formed in a circular shape corresponding to the pressed portion of the masking cap 50, but are often formed in a non-uniform shape. When the product is removed or sold as a single unit, it is visually recognized by the user.

  The present invention has been made based on the above-described problems, and relates to a fishing reel spool that has been subjected to a surface treatment, and in particular, to provide a fishing reel spool that does not deteriorate the appearance of the side portion. With the goal.

  In order to achieve the above object, a fishing reel spool according to the present invention includes a spool shaft that is rotatably supported by a reel body, and is wound by rotating a handle provided on one side of the reel body. It is characterized in that a member to be attached is mounted on a side portion of the spool in the vicinity of the spool shaft.

  As described above, after the surface treatment is performed on the spool, defects such as alumite failure and color unevenness may occur on the side portion of the spool. By attaching the adherent member so as to cover this portion, Such defects can be concealed, and the appearance can be improved. In this case, the appearance can be further improved by applying a design to the adherend member.

  In this case, the side portion of the spool in the vicinity of the spool shaft on which the adherend member is mounted refers to the side surface of the spool itself into which the spool shaft is inserted or the surface of the cylinder portion that supports the insertion of the spool shaft depending on the spool structure. This is a concept that includes a region, and corresponds to a region that is visible from at least the side. Therefore, the adherent member may have an annular shape that covers the entire side surface of the spool that is visible, or a shape that covers a part of the surface if the appearance can be improved. There may be. Further, the adherent member may be configured to cover not only the side surface of the spool but also all or a part of the cylindrical portion region.

  In the above configuration, the adherent member is preferably made of a material having corrosion resistance. By configuring the adherent member with a material having corrosion resistance in this manner, it is possible to prevent the corrosion resistance from being deteriorated in a portion that has not been subjected to the surface treatment due to the masking cap being adhered, or a portion that has alumite treatment unevenness.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a configuration that does not particularly deteriorate the appearance of the side surface region with respect to the spool of the fishing reel that has been subjected to the surface treatment.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a fishing reel according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In these drawings, the same components as those shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are given the same reference numerals.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a configuration example of a fishing reel (double bearing type reel) equipped with a spool according to the present invention.

  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.

  A spool 10 is rotatably supported between the left and right frames 2a and 2b (left and right side plates 3a and 3b). The spool 10 is provided with a spool shaft 12 fixed to the center portion thereof, and the spool shaft 12 rotates at both ends thereof to the frames 2a and 2b of the reel body 1 through bearings 15a and 15b, respectively. Supported as possible. In this case, the spool 10 can be removed from the reel body together with the spool shaft 12, for example, by pulling out the left side plate 3a in the axial direction with the left plate 3a removed from the left frame 2a.

  On the right frame 2b side, a handle shaft 20 having a handle 21 attached to the protruding end is disposed. The handle shaft 20 is rotatably supported on the right frame 2b via a bearing, and in a fishing line winding direction by a rolling one-way clutch (not shown) interposed between the right side plate and the right frame 2b. Can only rotate.

  Between the right frame 2b and the right side plate 3b, 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 for fishing. When a fishing line is unwound from 10, a braking mechanism for applying a drag force to the spool 10 is accommodated (these mechanisms are well-known techniques and will not be described in detail).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the spool 10 is integrally formed with the spool shaft 12, and as described above, the spool 10 is formed of stainless steel or the like on the spool 10 integrally formed of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, or the like. After the spool shaft 12 is inserted and fixed, the outer periphery of the spool is cut by using the spool shaft 12 as a proof. In this case, the spool 10 is inserted and supported with a winding drum portion 10b around which the fishing line is wound, a central connecting portion 10c integrated in a disc shape with the central portion of the winding drum portion 10b, and the spool shaft 12. A cylindrical portion 10d is integrally formed.

  The spool 10 created in such a manufacturing process is subjected to a predetermined surface treatment such as an alumite treatment or a coloring treatment, as shown in FIG. In this case, when the surface of the spool is treated, a masking cap 50 that completely covers the outer periphery of the spool shaft 12 is attached to protect the spool shaft 12 from the electrolytic solution. In order to prevent or secure the sealing performance, an adhesive is applied to the spool side face 10a or the end face of the masking cap when the masking cap is attached.

  After the surface treatment is performed on the spool 10 and the masking cap 50 is removed, the annular adherent member 30 is mounted so as to cover the spool side surface 10a in the vicinity of the spool shaft 12. The adherent member 30 may cover the entire surface of the spool side surface 10a, or a region in a predetermined range in the radial direction in which color unevenness or the like is likely to occur, centering on a region where the masking cap 50 is pressed. It may be covered.

  The shape of the adherend member 30 is not particularly limited as long as it can conceal at least color unevenness (to improve the appearance). However, in consideration of workability and the like, the adherend member 30 has an annular shape. Preferably it is formed. Further, the material of the adherent member is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the material is composed of a corrosion-resistant member, for example, a thin polyester film of about 25 μm, an aluminum plate of about 0.1 mm, or the like. . That is, by using such a member having corrosion resistance, it is possible to effectively prevent corrosion of a portion where the alumite treatment is not sufficient when moisture or the like adheres during actual fishing.

  Further, as shown in the drawing, it is preferable that such an adherent member 30 cover the surface portion of the cylindrical portion 10d to which the masking cap 50 is attached and the surface treatment is not performed.

  According to the spool having the above-described configuration, the masking cap is attached due to problems such as the adhesive flowing during anodizing or unevenness in the amount and application position of the adhesive during work. Even if a portion where the alumite coating layer is not formed due to electrolysis failure occurs on the spool side surface 10a (alumite failure) or color unevenness occurs during dyeing, such a portion is concealed and visibility is improved. It becomes possible to plan. Moreover, it is possible to effectively prevent the spool from corroding by forming such an adherent member from a material having corrosion resistance.

  In addition, the above-described adherent member 30 may be configured to cover only the spool side surface 10a without covering the cylindrical portion 10d, for example, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the spool having a configuration in which the cylindrical portion 10 d is formed to protrude only on one side may be configured to cover the surface of the protruding cylindrical portion.

  The shape of the adherend member 30 described above can be appropriately modified according to the shape of the spool, the configuration of the masking cap, and the like. In addition, by appropriately designing the above-described adherend member 30, the appearance can be further improved, and the appeal when selling the spool as an optional part can be improved.
