Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel that is attached to a fishing rod through a reel mounting leg that is integrally formed with the reel body.

  For example, a fishing reel, which is a dual-bearing type reel, supports a spool for winding a fishing line rotatably on the reel body, and the reel mounting leg provided on the lower part of the reel body frame serves as a reel leg mounting portion of a fishing rod. It is common to mount and fix.

  Such a reel mounting leg is formed as a separate member from the frame of the reel body, and in addition to a member that is caulked and fixed to the lower part of the frame, for example, in the case of a small fishing reel, There is one in which a reel mounting leg is integrally formed with a frame by molding (for example, see Patent Document 1).

In addition, in order to arrange the reel body and the fishing rod as close as possible, the reel mounting leg is divided and a gap formed in the center in the longitudinal direction between the front mounting leg and the rear mounting leg. There is also a type in which interference with the spool is prevented and the whole fishing reel is reduced in size (for example, see Patent Document 2).

  However, the mounting portion of the fishing rod that fixes the reel mounting leg portion accommodates a reel leg mounting surface having a middle and high structure with a central portion protruding outward in the circumferential direction and each end portion of the reel mounting leg portion. A fixed hood and a moving hood for pressing and fixing the reel mounting leg portion to the reel leg mounting surface are provided. For this reason, the reel mounting leg is not formed as an independent member, but is formed integrally with the frame of the reel body to reduce the weight of the small fishing reel, and the reel mounting leg is divided into a structure. Thus, even if it becomes possible to reduce the overall size of the fishing reel while reducing the weight, each end of the reel mounting leg portion is provided with a fixed hood and a movable hood provided on the mounting portion of the fishing rod. In order to adapt to the shape of the housing portion, the thin portion is formed toward the tip.

  For this reason, the reel mounting leg is affected by thermal shrinkage due to the difference in thickness during molding, and the tip side formed thinly is easily deformed (deformation due to sink marks during molding). If the reel mounting leg portion is deformed, the fixed holding state of the reel main body integrated with the reel mounting leg portion with respect to the fishing rod is not stable, and there is a disadvantage that the fishing operation is hindered.

  The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel capable of stabilizing the fixed holding state of a reel body attached to a fishing rod via a reel attachment leg. To do.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided a fishing reel having a reel mounting leg portion integrally formed with a reel body, and attached to a fishing rod through the reel mounting leg portion. A fishing reel is provided in which a groove portion is formed on the bottom surface of the reel mounting leg portion placed on the mounting portion from the inside of the bottom surface toward the tip.

  The reel mounting leg portion in which the groove portion is formed may be divided and formed along the front-rear direction of the fishing rod.

  According to the fishing reel of the present invention, the groove formed on the bottom surface of the reel mounting leg from the inside to the tip suppresses deformation due to sink marks that are likely to occur due to the change in thickness during molding. It is possible to securely attach and fix the leg to the mounting part of the fishing rod, stabilize the holding state of the reel body integrated with the fishing rod through this reel mounting leg, and reduce the weight with such a groove, Fishing operability is improved.

  In addition, since the thick portion can be removed by the groove portion formed in the reel mounting leg portion, the fish bean transmitted from the mounting portion of the fishing rod to the reel body via the reel mounting leg portion (the fineness due to the fish hit). (Vibration) detection sensitivity is improved.

  In the case where such a reel mounting leg is divided and formed, a stable fixed holding state with respect to the fishing rod can be obtained while reducing the size and weight of the reel body, so that the fishing reel is held together with the fishing rod. The operability of the fishing operation to be performed is further improved.

1 and 2 show a fishing reel 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The fishing reel 10 of the present embodiment is a compact double bearing that facilitates a palming property that is operated while being held in the palm of a gripped hand, and a summing property that is used to operate fishing line feeding using a thumb. It is formed as a mold-hand wound reel.

  The fishing reel 10 includes a spool 12 around which a fishing line is wound, and a handle 14 that rotates the spool 12 in a fishing line winding direction. The spool 12 is integrally mounted on a spool shaft 16 that extends to the left and right, and is rotatably supported by the reel body 18 via the spool shaft 16. The spool shaft 16 is rotatably supported by the reel body 18 via a pair of bearings (not shown).

  The reel body 18 of the present embodiment includes a frame 20 in which left and right disc-like portions 20b and 20c are formed by integral molding with a plurality of connecting members 20a extending left and right, and outside the disc-like portions 20b and 20c of the frame 20. For example, it has left and right side plates 22 a and 22 b fastened with a plurality of screws, and each end of the spool shaft 16 is supported by a bearing (not shown) provided on the reel body 18. In the right side plate 22b, as usual, a drive mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the handle 14 of the spool shaft 16 to the spool 12 and a drive mechanism and the spool 12 are inserted between the drive mechanism and the spool 12 to exceed a certain limit. A drag mechanism that idles the spool 12 when a load acts on the fishing line is accommodated, and the drag force can be adjusted by rotating the operation lever 24.

  Further, on the front side of the spool 12, a level wind mechanism 26 for winding the fishing line evenly on the spool 12 is disposed. In the level wind mechanism 26, the worm shaft 28 interlocked with the drive mechanism in the right side plate 22b moves the engagement element 30 left and right, so that the fishing line is evenly distributed on the spool 12 as the handle 14 rotates. Can be rolled up. Reference numeral 32 denotes a clutch lever that turns on and off the clutch mechanism inserted between the spool 12 and the drive mechanism. When the clutch lever 32 is pushed down to turn it off, the spool 12 rotates freely. The fishing line can be released. Note that a backlash prevention mechanism for preventing backlash at the time of fishing line release is provided, for example, in the left side plate 22a.

  The fishing reel 10 thus formed has a reel mounting leg 34 extending in the front-rear direction for mounting on a reel leg mounting portion 8 a provided on the fishing rod 8. The reel mounting leg portion 34 of this embodiment is integrally formed with the frame 20 via a connecting portion 20a disposed at the lower portion, and is formed by a front leg portion 36 and a rear leg portion 38 that are divided into two parts in the front and rear directions. Yes. The front leg portion 36 and the rear leg portion 38 forming the reel mounting leg portion 34 are made of a light metal material such as an aluminum alloy or a magnesium alloy or a hard resin material together with the connecting member 20a and the disk-like portions 20b and 20c. It is integrally molded by mold molding.

  The front leg portion 36 and the rear leg portion 38 that form the reel mounting leg portion 34 extend from the connecting member 20a of the frame 20 toward the front and rear of the fishing rod 8, respectively, and the base end portion. A gap S is formed between them. The gap S is formed, for example, from an opening (not shown) formed on one side of the frame 20 when the spool 12 is mounted in the frame 20 (see FIG. 2). ) And the frame 20 can be reduced in size and weight.

  On the other hand, the fishing rod 8 is provided with a reel seat 8 a as a mounting portion for mounting the fishing reel 10 via the reel mounting leg portion 34. In the reel seat 8a, the fixed cover 4 that receives the tip of the rear leg 38 of the reel mounting leg 34 is disposed behind the mounting leg mounting surface 6 on which the reel mounting leg 34 is mounted. The moving cover 2 that receives the front end portion of the front leg portion 36 is disposed on the front side of the cover 2. The movable cover 2 is screwed onto the reel sheet 8a, and can be moved toward or away from the fixed cover 4 on the mounting leg placing surface 6 by rotating. Further, the mounting leg mounting surface 6 on which the reel mounting leg 34 is mounted has not a flat shape but a curved surface shape with a medium-high structure in which a central portion along the circumferential direction protrudes outward, and its transverse cross section. The shape is formed in an arc shape.

  When the fishing reel 10 is attached to the reel seat 8a, the reel mounting leg 34 is mounted on the mounting leg mounting surface with the tip of the rear leg 38 of the reel mounting leg 34 inserted into the fixed cover. 6 is mounted. Thereafter, when the distal end portion of the front leg portion 36 is accommodated in the movable cover 2 and is moved backward while rotating the movable cover 2, the reel mounting leg portion 34 is clamped between the fixed cover 4 and the movable cover 2. It is pressed on the mounting leg placing surface 6 while being done. Thereby, the reel attachment leg 34 is firmly attached to the reel sheet 6. Conversely, the fishing reel 10 can be removed from the reel seat 8a of the fishing rod 8 by unscrewing the movable cover 2 and moving it forward of the reel seat 8a.

  As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the front leg 36 and the rear leg 38 forming the reel mounting leg 34 gradually decrease in thickness toward the tip, and the longitudinal direction of the upper surfaces 35 and 37. A flat structure in which ridges on both sides along the surface are formed by curved surfaces. Further, the bottom surfaces 40 and 42 facing the mounting leg placement surface 6 of the reel sheet 8a have a semi-cylindrical curved surface shape recessed in a substantially arc shape along the width direction, and the respective side edge portions 40a, A narrow flat surface is formed on 42a. The curved surfaces of the bottom surfaces 40 and 42 are formed with a curvature larger than that of the mounting leg mounting surface 6 of the reel sheet 8a. Therefore, when the reel mounting leg 34 is mounted on the mounting leg mounting surface 6, A slight gap is formed between the center portion in the width direction of the bottom surfaces 40 and 42 and the mounting leg placement surface 6, and the side edge portions 40a and 42a are surely in contact with the mounting leg placement surface 6 of the reel sheet 8a.

  In the reel mounting leg portion 34 of the present embodiment, a single groove portion 44 is formed on each of the bottom surfaces 40 and 42 formed in this manner from the inner side, which is the base end side, toward the tip. The groove portion 44 is formed in a thick base end portion of each of the front leg portion 36 and the rear leg portion 38, and the cross section of the groove portion 44 is largest at the bottom surface 40, 42. ing. By forming such a groove portion 44 on the bottom surface 40, 42 of the thick portion, the reel mounting leg portion 34 that is thinned from the proximal end side toward the distal end side when the frame 20 is molded. However, it is possible to suppress deformation due to sink marks that are likely to occur due to a change in thickness during molding.

  For this reason, the reel mounting leg 34 together with the frame 20 can be formed in an extremely accurate shape that matches the shapes of the mounting leg mounting surface 6, the movable cover 2, and the fixed cover 4 of the reel seat 8 a. Thus, since the shape of the reel mounting leg portion 34 is accurately formed, it is possible to securely mount and fix the reel mounting leg portion 34 on the reel seat 8a as a mounting portion of the fishing rod 8. While the fixed holding state of the reel body 18 to be integrated is stabilized, the weight of the groove 44 is reduced, and the fishing operability of the fishing reel 10 is improved.

  Further, since the groove portion 44 formed in the reel mounting leg portion 34 enables the thick portion of the proximal end portion of the front leg portion 36 and the rear leg portion 38 to be removed, when a fish hits, the fishing rod The sensitivity of detection of fine vibration due to the fish bean transmitted from the eight reel seats 8a to the frame 20 and the reel body 18 via the reel mounting legs 34, that is, a fish hit, is improved.

  FIG. 4 shows a groove 44a according to a first modification in which the depth is formed in two steps and is formed deeper in a thick part. In this case, it is possible to reduce the weight and prevent the reel mounting leg 34 from sinking. The depth of the thick portion of the groove 44a can be increased, and the depth can be adjusted according to the change in the thickness. Of course, in addition to the two-stage structure, it may be formed in three or more stages, or may be continuously changed without providing a step portion.

  FIG. 5 shows a second modified example in which three groove portions 44 b are formed along the length direction of the reel mounting leg portion 34. In this modification, the length and the groove width of each groove 44b are the same. The number is not limited to three and may be two or four or more. The number of the groove portions 44b may be changed according to the width and thickness of the reel mounting leg portion 34.

  FIG. 6 shows a third modification in which three grooves 44c formed by changing the depth and width according to the thickness are arranged. In the illustrated modification, the groove 44c at the center is the longest, and both the width and depth are large.

  FIG. 7 shows a fourth modification in which a plurality of groove portions 44d are formed by inclining on the bottom surface of the reel mounting leg portion 34. In FIG. These groove portions 44d can be arranged at equal intervals as shown in the drawing, and the interval and the size (width, depth, length, etc.) of the grooves can be adjusted in accordance with changes in thickness and the like.

  FIG. 8 shows a fifth modification in which a plurality of grooves 44e intersecting each other is formed. As shown in the drawing, not only the two groove portions 44e intersect in an X shape, but three or more groove portions 44e may intersect. Further, the intersecting groove portions 44e may have different groove portion lengths, widths, and depths.

  By forming the groove portions 44a to 44e according to such various modifications on the bottom legs 40 and 42 of the front leg portion 36 and the rear leg portion 38 of the reel attachment leg portion 34, deformation at the time of forming the reel attachment leg portion 34 is achieved. In addition to being prevented, the entire reel body 18 is lightened, and operability is improved. Furthermore, the appearance of the fishing reel 10 can be improved by forming the various groove portions 44, 44a to 44e as described above.

  In the above-described embodiment and each modified example, the reel mounting leg 34 is divided and formed into the front leg 36 and the rear leg 38 with the gap S interposed therebetween. Since a stable fixed holding state with respect to the fishing rod 8 can be obtained while reducing the size and weight, the operability of the fishing operation performed while holding the fishing reel 10 together with the fishing rod 8 is further improved.

  On the other hand, the front leg portion 36 and the rear leg portion 38 forming such a reel mounting leg portion 34 may be integrated. Also in this case, the reel mounting leg portion 34 can obtain a stable fixed holding state with respect to the fishing rod 8 while reducing the weight of the reel body 18 by the grooves 44, 44a to 44e. It is possible to improve the operability of the fishing operation performed while holding.

  As described above, the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described together with various modifications. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, not only the linear groove portion but also the curved groove portion as described above. Alternatively, it is possible to form grooves having various shapes. Moreover, the groove part provided in the reel attachment leg part 34 can also combine variously the groove part 44 of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the groove parts 44a-44e of each modification.
