Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel in which a spool rotatably supported between side plates of a reel body can be rotated by operating a handle provided on one side of the reel body.

  Conventionally, as one of the fishing methods, lure fishing is known which fishes fish by giving action to a pseudo bait called lure. Patent Document 1 discloses a fishing reel suitable for lure fishing as described above. It is disclosed. This fishing reel is designed to assist in winding the fishing line around the spool so that there is no take-up guidance operation or thread dander that gives action such as stopping or moving the lure by operating the rod or reel. An operation member is provided.

The auxiliary operation member has a lever shape and can be operated by a finger of a hand holding a fishing rod of the reel body, that is, a finger contact member (also referred to as a thumb rest) provided between the side plates of the reel body. The base is pivotably supported along the rear edge. The operation part of the auxiliary operation member is extended so as to protrude obliquely backward, and it is rotated backward while maintaining the state where the abdomen of the finger of the hand holding the fishing rod is pressed against the upper surface of the operation part.

JP 2004-248626 A

  The auxiliary operation member described above is biased forward (fishing line feeding side) by a spring member, and is held against the rear end edge of the finger resting member. For this reason, when the auxiliary operation member is rotated backward and then restored to the original standing and stationary state, the biasing force of the spring member urges the force, and the base outer surface of the auxiliary operation member is the rear edge of the finger resting member. Abut. And if this operation is repeated at the time of actual fishing, it may appear as a flaw gradually from a small dent level.

  Therefore, when pressing the abdomen of the thumb of the hand holding the fishing rod on the upper surface of the finger resting member and rotating the auxiliary operation member backward with the abdomen of the thumb, the abdomen of the thumb is the outer surface of the base of the auxiliary operation member. May also come into contact with each other, which may hinder the pressing operation. In addition, since the scratches are exposed in a visible range, the appearance is inferior and the owner may be uncomfortable.

  The present invention has been made on the basis of the above-described problem. In the fishing reel in which an auxiliary operation member for auxiliary winding operation of the spool between the side plates of the reel body is rotatably provided, the auxiliary operation is performed. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel that does not expose scratches in the visible range of the member.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, a fishing reel according to the present invention is provided between a side plate of a reel body, a support member capable of finger contact, and a base portion between a side plate on the rear side of the support member. Auxiliary operation member having an operation portion that is supported so as to be rotatable about the center of the fishing line and that is urged to rotate forward of the fishing line feeding side and that protrudes upward from the support member. In which the fishing line can be supplementarily wound around the spool by a rotation operation on the rear side of the auxiliary operation member. And the auxiliary operation member is regulated and held at a stationary position in a non-actuated state by abutting the locking surface against the regulating portion.

  According to the fishing reel having the above-described configuration, by pressing the operation portion of the auxiliary operation member supported so as to be rotatable around the base on the rear side of the support member capable of finger contact to the rear side, A fishing line can be supplementarily wound around the spool. Since the auxiliary operation member is urged to rotate forward, which is the fishing line feed-out side, each time it is pressed, the auxiliary operation member is returned to the non-operating stationary position by the rotation urging force. At this time, a locking surface is formed on the base portion at a position that becomes the lower surface in the biasing rotation direction, and this is brought into contact with the restricting portion. It is possible to make the position invisible to the operator.

  According to the present invention, in the fishing reel in which the auxiliary operation member for auxiliary winding operation of the spool is provided between the side plates of the reel body so as to be rotatable, the scratch is exposed in the visible range of the auxiliary operation member. It becomes possible to set it as the structure which is not made to do.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a fishing reel according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional plan view showing a structure of a support portion of an auxiliary operation member, and FIG. 3 is a side view as seen from the handle side with the side plate removed, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the main part of FIG.

  The reel body 1 of the fishing reel of this embodiment includes left and right frames 2a and 2b, and left and right side plates 3a and 3b attached to each frame with a predetermined space. In the embodiment, a handle shaft 6 to which the handle 5 is attached is rotatably supported on the right side plate 3b side).

  A spool shaft 8 to which a spool 7 around which a fishing line is wound is rotatably supported between the left and right plates 3a and 3b. The spool 7 includes a drive gear 10 attached to the handle shaft 6 and It is configured to be rotationally driven by a rotating operation of the handle 5 via a winding drive mechanism 13 having a pinion 12 supported so as to be detachable from the spool shaft 8. Further, a support member (also referred to as a finger rest member; also referred to as a thumb rest) is provided between the left and right side plates 3a and 3b so that the thumb can be placed when the reel unit is gripped in front of and above the spool shaft 8. ) 15 is arranged.

  The handle shaft 6 is provided with a rotating body 16 (drag adjusting body) for operating a known drag mechanism that adjusts the braking force to the spool 7. By rotating the rotating body 16, the fishing line is operated. A desired braking force is applied to the spool rotation during feeding. Also, a known clutch mechanism 17 is engaged with the pinion 12, and the clutch lever 18 at the rear of the spool is pushed down to release the connection with the spool shaft to turn the clutch off (spool free state). 5 can be automatically recovered from the clutch OFF to the clutch ON (spool rotation state).

  A gear transmission mechanism 20 is connected to the winding drive mechanism 13, and the spool can be supplementally wound through the gear transmission mechanism 20 by operating an auxiliary operation member described later. ing. The gear transmission mechanism 20 in the present embodiment has a gear 21 attached to the handle shaft 6 so as to be adjacent to the drive gear 10 and a right and left to mesh with the gear 21 and wind a fishing line around the spool 7 in parallel. A gear 22 is attached to the end of a drive shaft 31 constituting a known level winder 30 that reciprocates, and gears 23 and 24 are rotatably supported on the right frame 2b. The gear 22 meshes with a handle-side gear 23 among the gears provided side by side.

  An auxiliary operation member 40 is rotatably supported on the rear side of the support member 15 between the left and right side plates 3a and 3b. The auxiliary operation member 40 includes a base 40a disposed between the left and right frames 2a and 2b so as to surround a drive shaft 41 rotatably supported via a bearing, and extends axially from the base 40a. An operating portion 40b protruding in the radial direction is provided, and the operating portion 40b is integrally formed with the base portion 40a so as to protrude upward from the support member 15. The auxiliary operation member 40 is fixed to the drive shaft 41 by fitting a pin 42 into the base portion 40a.

  The base 40a of the auxiliary operation member 40 is provided with a biasing spring 43 between the auxiliary frame 40a and the left frame 2a, and the operation unit 40b always rotates in the direction of turning forward to the fishing line feeding side. It is energized. In this case, it is preferable that the operation part 40b is arranged and configured to protrude obliquely upward on the rear side with respect to the base part 40a at a stationary position in a non-operating state. Further, a through hole 40c is formed in the central portion of the operation portion 40b so that a device can be hooked when the fishing ground is moved, thereby improving the operability as a fishing reel.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the base portion 40a is formed with a substantially horizontal locking surface 40d at a position that is the lower surface in the biasing rotation direction. In the present embodiment, the locking surface 40d is formed to be substantially horizontal at a position below the rotation center of the base portion 40a (the axis X of the drive shaft 41). On the other hand, on the lower surface side of the support member 15, a restricting portion 15 a that protrudes horizontally toward the spool side is formed at a position below the rotation center X. The locking surface 40d is in contact with the restricting portion 15a at a position lower than the rotational axis X when the auxiliary operation member 40 is in an inoperative state (becomes a contact state). The forward biasing by the urging spring 43 is restricted.

  The drive shaft 41 protrudes from the right frame 2b toward the handle, and a gear 45 that meshes with the gear 24 is attached to the protruding end. A one-way clutch 50 is interposed between the gear 45 and the drive shaft 41. The one-way clutch 50 is housed in a one-way clutch housing portion 51 provided on the right side plate side, and includes an outer ring fitted to the gear 45, a plurality of rollers, and a cage for holding the rollers. Yes. As is well known, each roller is urged to the wedge region of the outer ring by the urging force of a spring member interposed between the rollers.

  According to the one-way clutch 50 having such a configuration, when the operation portion 40b of the auxiliary operation member 40 is rotated backward (falling down) against the urging force of the urging spring 43, each roller is pressed against the wedge region. The rotation is transmitted to the gear 45 as it is. Then, the rotation of the gear 45 is transmitted to the drive gear 10 of the take-up drive mechanism 13 through the gear transmission mechanism 20 described above, and the handle 5 is rotated in the fishing line winding direction (the fishing line is wound around the spool in an auxiliary manner). Turn). On the other hand, when the handle 5 is rotated in the direction of winding the fishing line, the rotation is transmitted to the gear 45 through the gear transmission mechanism 20, but each roller rotates freely even if the gear 45 rotates counterclockwise. Since the movement to the region, the rotation is not transmitted to the drive shaft 41 (auxiliary operation member 40).

  By providing the auxiliary operation member 40 configured as described above, after performing the casting operation after switching the clutch mechanism 17 to the spool-free state and performing the lure action, the side plate on the side opposite to the reel of the reel body together with the fishing rod The operation portion 40b can be rotated (falling down) against the urging force of the urging spring 43 with the finger H (thumb) of the hand holding and holding 3a (FIGS. 6 and 7). reference). By performing such a turning operation, the turning force is transmitted to the handle shaft 6 via the one-way clutch 50, so that the clutch mechanism 17 is switched from the spool-free state to the winding state, As a result, a delicate winding operation (winding assist operation) of the spool 7 can be performed continuously.

  In the above-described configuration, the auxiliary operation member 40 is urged to rotate forward by the urging force of the urging spring 43, so that it is shown in FIG. As described above, the rotating biasing force returns the stationary position to the non-operating state. At this time, a locking surface 40d is formed at a position that becomes the lower surface in the biasing rotation direction, and this is brought into contact with the restriction portion 15a formed below the support member 15, so that the support in front of the base portion 40a is supported. Since the gap S is formed between the member 15 and the contact portion, both contact portions can be positioned so as not to be visually recognized by the operator even when the operation portion 40b is pressed rearward. That is, the auxiliary operation member 40 is directed rearward by installing a contact portion (a contact portion) that restricts the rotation of the auxiliary operation member at a position that is the lower surface in the biasing rotation direction of the auxiliary operation member 40. Even if pressed, the contact portion can be prevented from being exposed to the operator.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, a locking surface 40d is formed on the base 40a of the auxiliary operation member 40 at a position below the rotation center X, and the rotation center X is extended in the direction along the axial direction. Since the locking surface 40d is brought into contact with the restricting portion 15a of the support member 15 on the lower side, it is possible to prevent the contact portion from being exposed to the outside at all.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, since no dents, scratches, etc. are generated in the operation region by the abdomen of the thumb of the auxiliary operation member, a smooth pressing rotation operation is possible and visible. Since scratches are not exposed to the extent possible, the appearance does not deteriorate and the owner is not uncomfortable.

  The locking surface 40d and the restricting portion 15a described above may be installed at a position that cannot be visually recognized by the operator when the auxiliary operation member 40 is rotated. For example, as shown in FIGS. It is possible to configure.

  In this modification, as shown in FIG. 8, a set screw (regulator part) for attaching a side plate extending in the axial direction from the one side plate (right side plate) side to the lower rear side of the support member 15. ) 60 is press-fitted in the horizontal direction and screwed in on the left frame 2a side. A locking surface 40d is formed on the base 40a of the auxiliary operation member 40 at a position that is the lower surface in the biasing rotation direction and below the rotation center X, as in the above-described embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the locking surface 40d is brought into contact with the set screw 60 to regulate the position, and a gap S is formed between the support member 15 in front of the base 40a as described above. Yes.

  As described above, when the auxiliary operation member 40 is pushed in, it is not necessary to form a locking surface to be applied to the exposed portion. The formation position and the like can be appropriately changed. Moreover, about the latching surface 40d, the structure which contact | abuts to a control part by a line | wire or a spot | dot may be sufficient besides contact | abutting a surface.
