Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing spinning reel provided with a switching mechanism that switches a drag mechanism that applies rotational resistance to a spool between an operating state and a non-operating state.

  Some fishing spinning reels have a drag mechanism in the reel body that provides rotational resistance to the spool in an activated state (a state where a drag force acts on the spool) and a non-actuated state (the spool is completely free). And a switching mechanism that switches between a state in which the drag force is applied by the sub-drag mechanism and a state in which the drag force is applied by a sub-drag mechanism are known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a fishing spinning reel capable of switching a drag mechanism between an operating state and a non-operating state by operating a switching lever that is rotatably supported in the front-rear direction of the upper portion of the reel body. Is disclosed. Such a switching mechanism is engaged with a return mechanism that can automatically return from the non-operating state to the operating state when the handle is wound.

  The return mechanism disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above is a position away from the face gear (the handle on the face gear tooth surface side) while the cam wheel is fixed to the end of the handle shaft (face gear tooth surface side). It is installed in a relatively vacant space at the end of the shaft), thereby reducing the size of the reel body.

  By the way, the return mechanism described above is a mechanism that automatically returns the switching lever to the initial position (the drag mechanism operating position) by the handle winding operation, and rotates together with the winding operation by the handle winding operation. The member (kick member) to be applied is applied to the engaging member (kicked), and the switching lever is returned to the initial position. For this reason, depending on the position of the handle, there is a disadvantage that the switching lever cannot be switched from the operating state (initial position) to the non-operating state due to a dead point.

The return mechanism disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above incorporates a non-dead mechanism to avoid a state in which the switching lever cannot be operated. Specifically, a swingable cam follower (engaging member) 58 urged by a spring (second toggle spring) 60 against a cam wheel (kick member) 42 fixed to the end of the handle shaft is provided. It is made to engage. In other words, a cam follower 58 that can be swung by a spring 60 is installed, and this is biased and supported toward the rotation trajectory of the cam wheel 42 fixed to the handle shaft 12. The above-described return mechanism is configured without causing it.
Japanese Patent No. 3542284

  However, the above-described return mechanism disclosed in Patent Document 1 is configured such that one end of the spring 60 is locked to the bottom of the reel body, and the other end of the spring is locked to the cam follower while resisting the spring force. There is a problem that it is necessary to carry out in a narrow space in the reel body constituting the gear box, and the assembling workability of the return mechanism is poor.

  In addition, since a mounting space for such a cam follower and a spring is required inside the reel body, there is a limit to downsizing the entire reel.

  The present invention has been made based on the above-described problem, and provides a spinning reel for fishing that improves the handleability of a return mechanism having a non-dead mechanism, saves space, and reduces the size of the reel body. For the purpose.

  In order to achieve the above object, a fishing spinning reel according to the present invention is provided at a front portion of a reel body, and includes a spool around which a fishing line is wound, and a handle rotatably supported by the reel body. A rotor that can be rotated via a pinion gear that meshes with a drive gear that rotates by a winding operation, and that guides the fishing line by winding the fishing line around the spool via a fishing line guide, a regulation state that restricts the rotation of the spool, and a spool free A switching mechanism having an operation member that can be switched to a free state, and a return mechanism that returns the switching mechanism in a spool-free state to a restricted state by a winding operation of the handle. The return mechanism is supported by a rotating member that rotates in conjunction with a rotating operation of the handle, and is supported to be rotatable by a predetermined angle relative to the rotating member. A unit body comprising a kick member that engages with one side of an operating body that operates in operation, and a spring member that is provided between the rotating member and the kick member and biases the kick member in the rotational direction. It is characterized by having.

  In the fishing spinning reel having the above-described configuration, the kick member is not fixed to the rotating member, but is supported so as to be able to rotate by a predetermined angle in a state of being spring-biased in the rotating direction. The operating body kicked by the member can enter the rotation locus of the kick member without causing a dead point. Since the parts constituting the non-dead mechanism are configured as a unit together with the rotating member, the workability when incorporated into the reel body can be improved, and the parts can be rotated in conjunction with the rotating operation of the handle. Since it is in a state of being collectively arranged on the rotating member, it is possible to save the space of the non-dead mechanism as much as possible, and it is possible to reduce the size of the reel body.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a fishing spinning reel that improves the handleability of a return mechanism having a non-dead mechanism, saves space, and reduces the size of the reel body.

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

  FIGS. 1 to 6 are views showing a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a view showing an internal configuration of a fishing spinning reel (drag operating state; switching lever ON). FIG. 1 is an enlarged view of the main part (drag non-operating state; switching lever OFF), FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of the reel body viewed from above, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the main part of FIG. 4, a diagram showing the configuration of a unitized return mechanism, and FIG. 6 is a partial sectional view along the BB direction of FIG. is there.

  A reel leg 1 of a spinning reel for fishing is integrally formed with a reel leg 1A to be attached to a fishing rod. A fishing line guide (not shown) is provided in front of the reel leg 1A, and the rotor is rotatably supported. 2 and a spool 3 that is supported so as to be able to move back and forth in synchronization with the rotational movement of the rotor 2 and on which a fishing line is wound.

  A rotating member (handle shaft; drive shaft) 4 is rotatably supported in the reel body 1, and a handle 5 is attached to the protruding end portion. Further, a winding drive mechanism is engaged with the handle shaft 4, and this winding drive mechanism is attached to the handle shaft 4 and has a drive gear (face gear) 7 with internal teeth formed therein and this drive. A pinion 9 that meshes with the gear 7 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft 4 and has a hollow portion extending in the axial direction is provided.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the handle 5 can be mounted on both the left and right sides. As is well known, the projecting outer peripheral non-circular shaft 5 a is integrated with the face gear 7. In this configuration, the rotation is fixed to the inner peripheral non-circular hollow shaft that rotates integrally with the shaft 5a. Here, the hollow shaft in which such a face gear 7 is integrated is referred to as a rotating member (handle shaft) 4 that rotates in conjunction with the rotation operation of the handle.

  The pinion 9 is rotatably supported in the reel body via a bearing 9a, and is connected to rotate the rotor 2 integrally. A spool shaft 3a extending in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft 4 and having the spool 3 mounted on the tip side is inserted into the hollow portion so as to be movable in the axial direction. The pinion 9 is engaged with a known reciprocating device 10 for reciprocating the spool 3 (spool shaft 3a) back and forth.

  The reciprocating device 10 is rotatably supported in the reel body, and is rotatable to a screw shaft (worm shaft) 12 extending in parallel with the spool shaft 3a, and to the rear portion of the spool shaft 3a, and is not movable in the axial direction. And a sliding body 13 to be engaged. An oscillating gear 15 that meshes with the pinion 9 is provided at an end of the screw shaft 12, and the screw shaft 12 is configured to rotate the handle 5 to rotate the handle 5, the pinion 9, and the oscillating gear. 15 is driven to rotate. A spiral cam groove 12a is formed along the axial direction on the peripheral surface of the screw shaft 12, and an engagement pin (not shown) accommodated and held in the sliding body 13 is formed in the cam groove 12a. The spool shaft 3 a (spool 3) is reciprocated back and forth by the winding operation of the handle 5.

  With the above-described configuration, when the handle 5 is wound up, the rotor 2 is rotationally driven via the drive gear 7 and the pinion 9, and the spool 3 is interposed via the drive gear 7, the pinion 9 and the reciprocating device 10. The fishing line is wound around the spool 3 evenly through the fishing line guide portion of the rotating rotor 2.

  A well-known drag mechanism (front drag mechanism) 17 that applies a braking force to the rotation of the spool is installed between the spool 3 and the spool shaft 3a (not shown). A sub-drag mechanism 20 is installed on the rear end side of the spool shaft 3a. When the spool 3 is in a free state (a state in which the spool shaft 3a rotates freely) by a switching mechanism which will be described later, an auxiliary is provided. A braking force (drag force) can be applied to the spool shaft 3a.

  Specifically, the sub-drag mechanism 20 includes an adjustment screw 21 that is rotated with respect to the cylindrical portion 1 a that is formed to protrude from the rear end of the reel body 1, and an axial movement that accompanies the rotation operation of the adjustment screw 21. Thus, a braking member 23 that can apply a predetermined braking force via the pressing spring 22 is provided. On the rear end side of the spool shaft 3a, a collar 24 is disposed through which a non-circular portion of the rear portion of the spool shaft 3a is inserted in a state of being non-rotatably fitted so as to be movable in the axial direction. Even when the braking force is applied between the main body 1 and the collar 24 and the spool shaft 3a can be freely rotated by the switching mechanism, the adjustment screw 21 is rotated to assist the rotation of the spool 3. It is possible to apply a braking force to.

  In the reel body 1, a switching mechanism 30 that switches between a restricted state that restricts the rotation of the spool 3 and a free state that makes the spool free, and a switching mechanism 30 that is in the spool free state are restricted by the winding operation of the handle 5. A return mechanism 60 is provided for returning to the initial state. Hereinafter, these mechanisms will be described. The “spool regulation state” in the present embodiment means a state in which the rotation of the spool shaft 3a is prevented and a desired drag force acts between the spool shaft 3a and the drag mechanism 17 or a spool lock state. The “spool free state” means that the spool shaft 3a is in a free rotation state. Accordingly, the spool free state includes a state in which a small rotational resistance is applied to the spool by the sub drag mechanism 20.

  The switching mechanism 30 protrudes from the reel body 1 to the outside and can be rotated and operated. A switching lever (operation member) 31 is disposed in the reel body 1 and is actuated and driven by the switching lever 31. A stopper member 34 that engages with one end of the operating body 32, and an engagement member (also referred to as a kick plate) 36 that engages with the other end and is kicked by a kick member of a return mechanism described later. .

  As shown in FIG. 3, the switching lever 31 is disposed so as to sandwich the upper side of the reel body 1, and is rotatably supported on the reel body 1 by a pair of fixing screws 31a from both sides of the base end portion. ing. The pair of fixing screws 31 a are inserted into the reel body from both sides and are connected to the operating body 32. The actuating body 32 is configured such that both sides swing around a fixing screw 31a, and the switching lever ON state shown in FIG. The switching lever is turned off and held as shown in FIG.

  A stopper member 34 is installed on one end side 32a of the operating body 32 so as to be engageable. The stopper member 34 is pivotally supported about a support shaft 38, and a contact portion 34a with which the operating body 32 abuts is formed on one end side, and on the other end side with respect to the spool shaft 3a. An engagement / disengagement portion 34b is formed to be engaged / disengaged with respect to the ratchet 3b fixed to prevent rotation (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 6).

  The stopper member 34 is urged by the spring 38a attached to the support shaft 38 so that the engaging / disengaging portion 34b is always engaged with the ratchet 3b, and the switching lever 31 is turned to the OFF state. Thus, the operating body 32 is rotated against the urging force of the spring 38a, and is detached from the ratchet 3b (see FIG. 2).

  On the other end side 32b of the operating body 32, an engaging member (functioning as an operating body that operates by operating the switching lever 31) 36 is installed so as to be engageable. The engaging member 36 is a support shaft. 40 is rotatably supported by the reel body 1. The engaging member 36 enters a rotation locus of a kick member, which will be described later, and the switching lever 31 (switching mechanism 30) is automatically controlled to restrict the rotation of the spool 3 by the winding operation of the handle 5. A function as a return mechanism 60 for returning to a state is provided.

  The engaging member 36 is basically supported rotatably by the support shaft 40. When the operating body 32 is turned to the OFF state, one end side thereof is turned by the operating body 32 and the other end is turned on. Any structure may be used as long as the side enters the rotation locus of the kick member 61 constituting the return mechanism 60.

  However, in the configuration of the present embodiment, the engagement member 36 is configured by a plurality of members in consideration of the free rotation state of the rotor 2. Normally, the rotor 2 can be rotated in the state of winding the fishing line, but it can also be rotated in reverse by operating a lever of a known reverse rotation prevention mechanism. If the switching mechanism 30 described above is switched to the spool-free state shown in FIG. 2 and the rotor 2 is capable of reverse rotation in this state, inconvenience may occur when a fish is caught during actual fishing. There is. That is, when the fish is hooked and the fishing line is pulled out, the handle shaft 4 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. 2, and the kick member 61 also rotates in the clockwise direction to contact the engaging member 36, and the arrangement thereof There is a possibility of being unable to rotate depending on the mode. For this reason, when the kick member 61 is rotated in a clockwise direction other than the winding direction of the handle (counterclockwise direction), the engagement is performed so that the kick member 61 can escape even if it comes into contact with the engagement member 36. The member 36 includes a plurality of members 36A and 36B.

  Hereinafter, the structure of the engaging member 36 comprised by several member 36A, 36B and the return mechanism 60 is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the engagement member 36 is rotatably supported on the outer periphery of a collar 41 that is fixed to the reel body 1 by a support shaft 40 (fixing screw). Plates (operator side plate 36A, kick side plate 36B) are provided.

  Among them, the working body side plate 36A has a shape extending toward the working body 32 with the support shaft 40 as a base end, and is formed so that the distal end side becomes higher toward the drive gear 7 as shown in FIG. Thus, the other end side 32b of the operating body 32 comes into contact with the lower edge of this portion. Further, in the state shown in FIG. 1, the lower edge portion of the working body side plate 36 </ b> A abuts on the boss 1 c provided on the reel body 1, and the clockwise rotation is restricted. Further, a protrusion 36a formed to protrude from the kick side plate 36B is in contact with the upper edge portion.

  On the other hand, the kick side plate 36B has a shape in which both ends swing around the support shaft 40. As described above, the protrusion 36a that contacts the upper edge portion of the working body side plate 36A is formed on one end side. Is formed. Further, an engaging portion 36b is formed on the other end side. The engaging portion 36b enters into a rotation locus of a kick member 61, which will be described later, when rotated about the support shaft 40. The kick side plate 36B is provided with an urging spring 36c wound around the support shaft 40 between the boss 1c of the reel body 1 and the kick side plate 36B is always mounted in FIG. In the state shown, it is urged clockwise, and the projection 36a is urged against the upper edge portion of the actuator side plate 36A. In the kick side plate 36B, the engaging portion 36b does not enter the rotation locus of the kick member 61 when the switching mechanism shown in FIG.

  And the kick member 61 which kicks the engaging part 36b of the said kick side plate 36B is installed in the part of the rotation member (handle shaft) 4 in the structure of this embodiment. The kick member 61 is supported so that the center of the handle shaft 4 is the center of rotation and is rotatable by a predetermined angle with respect to the handle shaft 4. A plurality of kick members 61 may be used to actually kick the engaging portion 36b. A protrusion 61a is provided. In this case, the protrusions 61a are formed at three positions with an interval of approximately 120 °, and each protrusion is formed with an inclined surface 61b so that it easily enters the rotation locus when the engaging portion 36b rotates. Has been.

  On the outer periphery of the handle shaft 4, two restricting portions (abutments) 4 a that allow the kick member 61 to rotate by a predetermined angle are formed to protrude. Further, an arc-shaped restricting portion 61c and a protruding portion 61d protruding between the two restricting portions 4a formed on the handle shaft are formed on the inner periphery of the kick member 61. The restricting portion 4a and the restricting portion The kick member 61 is supported so as to be rotatable at a predetermined angle with respect to the handle shaft 4 by the contact between the portion 61c and the protrusion 61d.

  In the gap between the outer periphery of the handle shaft 4 and the inner periphery of the kick member 61, an urging spring 63 is interposed between the restricting portion 4a and the protruding portion 61d. The spring is biased in the counterclockwise direction in FIGS.

  That is, in the present invention, the kick member 61 has a predetermined angle with the center of the support portion of the rotating member (in the present embodiment, the handle shaft 4) rotating in conjunction with the rotation operation of the handle 5 as the rotation center. It is rotatably supported and is spring-biased in the rotational direction.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the rotating member which is the handle shaft 4 is supported by the rotating member so as to be rotatable by a predetermined angle, and one side portion of the operating body (the engaging portion 36b of the kick side plate 36B) is engaged. The unit member U is configured in advance together with a kick member 61 that performs and a biasing spring 63 that is provided between the rotating member and the kick member and biases the kick member 61 in the rotational direction. Specifically, when the rotating member 4 is integrally formed with the drive gear 7, the unit body U integrally forms the restricting portion 4a and the flange 4f corresponding to the installation position of the kick member or the like constituting the return mechanism. In addition, the urging spring 63 and the kick member 61 are inserted and installed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5 with respect to this portion, and are prevented from coming off by the retaining ring 4g.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the unit body U having the above-described configuration, the urging spring 63 is incorporated between the handle shaft 4 and the kick member 61 so as not to be exposed to the outside.

  The operation of the fishing spinning reel constructed as described above will be described.

  Initially, as shown in FIG. 1, the switching mechanism 30 is in an ON state. In this state, since the stopper member 34 is engaged with the ratchet 3 b, the spool shaft 3 a is in a fixed state, and a desired drag force is applied to the spool 3 via the front drag mechanism 17. It becomes.

  When the switching lever 31 is rotated in the direction of the arrow from the state shown in FIG. 1, the operating body 32 rotates about the fixing screw 31a, and its one end 32a is abutted against the stopper member 34 as shown in FIG. Abutting on the contact portion 34a, the stopper member 34 is rotated counterclockwise against the urging force of the spring 38a. As a result, the engaging / disengaging portion 34b formed at the other end is detached from the ratchet 3b that is fixed to the spool shaft 3a so that the spool shaft 3a can rotate freely.

  In this state, since the spool 3 is in a completely free state, it is possible to pull out the fishing line as it is when a fish is caught. In this state, a drag force can be supplementarily applied to the rotation of the spool 3 by rotating the adjusting screw 21 of the sub-drag mechanism 20 described above.

  On the other hand, the other end side 32 b of the operating body 32 rotates the operating body side plate 36 </ b> A counterclockwise about the support shaft 40 by rotating the switching lever 31. Along with this, the kick side plate 36B is rotated counterclockwise around the support shaft 40 against the urging force of the urging spring 36c via the projection 36a. Thereby, the engaging part 36b of the kick side plate 36B enters the rotation locus of the kick member 61 as shown in FIG.

  At this time, regardless of the position of the above-described kick member 61, the engaging portion 36b can enter the rotation locus without causing a dead point. That is, even if the engaging portion 36b is in a position where it interferes with the kick member 61 during the turning operation of the switching lever 31, the kick member 61 is moved by the turning of the engaging portion 36b. 4 can be rotated in the clockwise direction against the urging force of the urging spring 63, so that no dead point is generated (as in the prior art, the kick member 61 is disposed on the handle shaft 4). If the handle shaft 4 is in the reverse rotation prevention state, there is a possibility that a position (dead point) at which the engaging portion 36b cannot rotate is generated).

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the rotor 2 is set in a reversible state when the switching lever 31 is turned off as shown in FIG. 2, the handle shaft 4 is It will rotate clockwise. At this time, the protrusion 61a of the kick member 61 comes into contact with the engaging portion 36b and tries to rotate the kick side plate 36B counterclockwise about the support shaft 40. As described above, since the kick side plate 36B has the escape space S above the protrusion 36a, the kick side plate 36B has the protrusion 61a of the kick member 61 against the urging force of the urging spring 36c. The rotation / return operation is repeated every time the contact is made, and the switching mechanism 30 and the return mechanism 60 are not damaged.

  When the handle 5 is wound up in the state shown in FIG. 2, the handle shaft 4 is rotationally driven in the counterclockwise direction, and accordingly, the right side in FIG. 2 against the biasing force of the biasing spring 63. The restricting portion 4a comes into contact with the side wall of the protrusion 61c and rotates the kick member 61 in the counterclockwise direction. Accordingly, the protrusion 61a of the kick member 61 kicks the engaging portion 36b located in the rotation locus, and rotates the kick side plate 36B in the clockwise direction around the support shaft 40.

  The rotation of the kick side plate 36B is transmitted to the working body side plate 36A through the protrusion 36a, and the working body 32 is rotated counterclockwise through the fixing screw 31a to automatically reach the state shown in FIG. To return. That is, when the operating body 32 returns to the state shown in FIG. 1, the stopper member 34 is rotated clockwise by the spring 38a, the engaging / disengaging portion 34b engages with the ratchet 3b, and the spool 3 It is switched to a restricted state where the rotation is restricted.

  In the fishing spinning reel having the above-described configuration, the kick member 61 is not fixed to the handle shaft 4 as disclosed in the conventional patent document 1, but is an urging spring housed inside. Since it is supported so as to be able to rotate by a predetermined angle while being urged in the rotation direction by 63, a dead point occurs in the engaging member kicked by the kick member 61 (the engaging portion 36b of the kick side plate 36B). It is possible to enter the rotation locus of the kick member 61 without any trouble.

  That is, by configuring the kick member as described above, the components constituting the non-dead mechanism can be concentrated and arranged on the support portion of the handle shaft 4, thereby enabling the non-dead mechanism to be as much as possible. Space can be saved, and the reel body 1 can be downsized.

  Further, as described above, the return mechanism 60 having the non-dead mechanism is configured as the unit body U, so that the handleability can be improved, and the workability when incorporated into the reel body can be improved. become. In addition, since the return mechanism is centrally arranged on the rotating member that rotates in conjunction with the rotation operation of the handle 5, it is possible to save the space of the non-dead mechanism as much as possible, and the reel body is made smaller. Can be realized.

  Furthermore, since the urging spring 63 is incorporated between the handle shaft 4 and the kick member 61 so that the urging spring 63 is not exposed to the outside, the unit body U configured as described above is dustproof and waterproof. As a result, the operation of the kick member 61 is stabilized, and an urging function having durability can be obtained.

  FIGS. 7 to 13 are views showing a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a view showing the internal configuration of a fishing spinning reel (drag operating state; switching lever ON), and FIG. FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of the main part (drag non-operating state; switching lever OFF), FIG. 9 is a partial cross-sectional view of the reel body viewed from above, and FIG. 11A is an enlarged view of the configuration of the main part of FIG. 10, FIG. 11B is a diagram showing the configuration of the unitized return mechanism, and FIG. 12 is an EE of FIG. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line FF in FIG. 9.

  In this embodiment, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The return mechanism in the above-described embodiment supports the kick member 61 so as to be rotatable by a predetermined angle around the center of the handle shaft 4 and is spring-biased in the rotation direction, but in this embodiment, the kick member is It is installed at a position offset with respect to the handle shaft 4 instead of the handle shaft.

  In addition, the switching mechanism 30 in the present embodiment protrudes from the reel body 1 to the outside, and is provided in the reel body 1 and a switching lever (operation member) 31 that can be rotated, and is rotated by the switching lever 31. As described below, an operating body 32 including two members 32A and 32B and a stopper member 34 engaged with one end side of the operating body 32 are provided.

  The operating body 32 is installed so as to be able to swing around a fixing screw 31a serving as a support shaft, and to be rotatable so as to overlap the driving gear 32 on the same axis as the operating plate 32A. And a kick side plate 32B that can enter a rotation locus of a kick member 61 to be described later.

  A friction spring 32C is installed around the center support area of both plates 32A and 32B. When the switching lever 31 is rotated in the direction of the arrow from the position shown in FIG. 7, the operating plate 32A rotates clockwise. With the rotation of the direction, the kick side plate 32B is also integrally rotated in the clockwise direction. That is, by rotating the switching lever 31 in the direction of the arrow from the position shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 8, the side portion of the contact portion 32e of the kick side plate 32B is the wall portion of the operating plate 32A. As shown in FIG. 8, the engaging portion 32d formed at the tip of the kick side plate 32B enters the rotation locus of the cam piece 61A of the kick member 61 as a result of contact with the 32A ′ and rotating integrally. It is like that. Note that the friction spring 32C biases the side portion of the contact portion 32e in a direction in which the side portion of the contact portion 32e is always in contact with the wall portion 32A ′.

  Further, the abutting portion 32e is formed on the opposite side of the engaging portion 32d with the fixing screw 31a of the kick side plate 32B as the center, and when the switching lever 31 is turned, the support shaft 38 is formed. Thus, it comes into contact with the contact portion 34a of the stopper member 34 supported rotatably. The rotating operation of the operating body 32 is distributed between a switching lever ON state shown in FIG. 7 and a switching lever OFF state shown in FIG. 8 by a distribution spring 37 installed between the operation plate 32A and the reel body 1. Retained.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the switching lever 31 is disposed so as to sandwich the upper side of the reel body 1 and is rotatably supported by a pair of fixing screws 31 a from both sides of the base end portion. The pair of fixing screws 31 a are inserted into the reel body from both sides and are connected to the operating body 32.

  The stopper member 34 that is rotationally driven by the abutting portion 32e of the kick side plate 32B of the operating body 32 is pivotally supported about a support shaft 38, and the abutting portion 32e is provided at one end side. Is formed, and an engagement / disengagement portion 34b that is engaged with and disengaged from the ratchet 3b that is fixed to the spool shaft 3a is formed on the other end side (FIGS. 7 and 7). 8, see FIG.

  The stopper member 34 is urged by the spring 38a attached to the support shaft 38 so that the engaging / disengaging portion 34b is always engaged with the ratchet 3b, and the switching lever 31 is turned to the OFF state. Thus, the actuating body 32 is rotated against the urging force of the spring 38a, and is detached from the ratchet 3b (see FIG. 8).

  Further, the return mechanism 60 in this embodiment includes a kick member 61 installed at a position offset with respect to the handle shaft 4. The kick member 61 is supported so as to be rotatable by a predetermined angle around the center of a connecting gear (rotating member) 72 that rotates in conjunction with the rotation operation of the handle 5, and is spring-biased in the rotating direction. It has become. Specifically, the kick member 61 is attached to a connection gear 72 that is rotated via a gear 70 that is provided in parallel with a drive gear 7 that is integrated with the handle shaft 4.

  The connecting gear 72 is rotatably supported on the reel body 1 so as to be meshed with the offset reel leg side with respect to the handle shaft 4 having the gear 70, and a collar 73 is interposed at the center of rotation. 73 is inserted so as to pass through 73 and is rotatably supported by a fixing screw 75 screwed into a side plate on the handle side of the reel body 1.

  The installation location of the gear 70 and the connecting gear 72 affects the arrangement of the kick member 61, and is set so that the reel body 1 can be made as thin and compact as possible. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the portion (located on the line indicated by the line X) that is the center of the meshing portion of the gear 70 and the coupling gear 72 (the center in the tooth width direction of the meshing portion) is the spool shaft 3a (pinion gear). 9) is set so as to be on the drive gear 7 side with respect to the rotation center (the axis of the pinion gear 9 indicated by line X1).

  Here, the support aspect of the said kick member 61 with respect to the connection gear 72 is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 12, projecting pieces 73a and 73b located in the following annular recess 62A are formed on the surface of the connection gear 72 opposite to the drive gear, at intervals of about 180 °. On the other hand, the kick member 61 is formed with an annular portion 62 so as to be in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the connecting gear 72, and an annular recess 62 </ b> A is formed between the kick member 61 and the collar 73. A projecting part 62a formed in an arc shape and a projecting part 62b positioned between the projecting pieces 73a and 73b are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the annular part 62, and the projecting part 73a and the projecting part 62b are spaced from each other. An urging spring 77 is interposed in the urging member to urge the kick member 61 in the rotational direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 12). As a result, the kick member 61 can be rotated around the collar 73 located at the center of the coupling gear 72 at a predetermined angle and supported in a state of being biased in the rotational direction by the biasing spring 77. Then, a slight frictional holding force is generated between the members by the action of the urging force of the urging spring 77, and the kick member 61, the urging spring 77, the connecting gear 72 and the like are unitized around the collar 73. Retained.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, a pair of cam pieces 61A are formed on the kick member 61 at approximately 180 ° intervals. The cam pieces 61A are engaged with the kick side plate 32B. The portion 32d can be engaged. That is, the engaging portion 32d of the kick side plate 32B enters the rotation locus of the cam piece 61A and becomes engageable with the cam piece 61A as the switching lever 31 is rotated. Therefore, the engagement member (engagement portion 32d of the kick side plate 32B) kicked by the kick member 61 is within the rotation locus of the kick member 61 without causing a dead point because the cam piece 61A can move in the rotation direction. It becomes possible to enter.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b), the connecting gear 72, which is a rotating member that is interlocked with the rotating operation of the handle 5, is mounted on the collar 73. The kick member 61, the connecting gear 72, and the kick member The unit body U is configured in advance with a biasing spring 77 provided between the spring 61 and the biasing spring 77 that biases the kick member 61 in the rotational direction. Specifically, the unit body U is integrated by assembling the connecting gear 72, the kick member 61, and the biasing spring 77 with respect to the collar 73. As shown in FIG. The unit body U is installed as a return mechanism by screwing a fixing screw 75 into a recess 1B formed in advance on the inner surface of the side plate on the handle side of the reel body 1. As a unitization method, in addition to using the friction holding force due to the biasing force of the biasing spring 77 described above, the kick member 61 and the connecting gear 72 are attached to the collar 73 and then fastened with a retaining ring. May be used.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, the unit body U having the above-described configuration is incorporated with the urging spring 77 between the connecting gear 72 and the kick member 61 so as not to be exposed to the outside.

  The operation of the fishing spinning reel constructed as described above will be described.

  As in the above-described embodiment, when the switching lever 31 is rotated in the direction of the arrow from the state shown in FIG. 1, the operating plate 32A constituting the operating body 32 rotates clockwise about the fixing screw 31a. Accordingly, the kick side plate 32B is also rotated in the clockwise direction, and the engaging portion 32d at the tip enters the rotation locus of the cam piece 61A as shown in FIG.

  At this time, regardless of the position of the above-described kick member 61, the engaging portion 32d can enter the rotation locus without causing a dead point. That is, even if the engaging portion 32d is in a position where it interferes with the kick member 61 (cam piece 61A) during the turning operation of the switching lever 31, the kicking member is caused by the turning of the engaging portion 32d. 61 is capable of rotating around the collar 73 in the counterclockwise direction against the biasing force of the biasing spring 77, and thus does not cause a dead point.

  Further, by the clockwise rotation of the kick side plate 32B, the contact portion 32e contacts the contact portion 34a of the stopper member 34, and the stopper member 34 is counterclockwise against the urging force of the spring 38a. Rotate in the direction. As a result, the engaging / disengaging portion 34b formed at the other end is detached from the ratchet 3b that is fixed to the spool shaft 3a so that the spool shaft 3a can rotate freely.

  In this state, since the spool 3 is in a completely free state, it is possible to pull out the fishing line as it is when a fish is caught. In this state, a drag force can be supplementarily applied to the rotation of the spool 3 by rotating the adjusting screw 21 of the sub-drag mechanism 20 described above.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8, when the rotor 2 is set in a reverse-rotatable state when the switching lever 31 is turned off as shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, it rotates in the clockwise direction. At this time, the cam piece 61A of the kick member 61 rotates counterclockwise due to the meshing relationship of the gear 70 and the connecting gear 72, and abuts against the engaging portion of the kick side plate 32B to fix the kick side plate 32B. It tries to rotate clockwise about the screw 31a. As described above, the kick side plate 32B can escape from the operation plate 32A by the frictional force of the friction spring 32C, and thus the switching mechanism 30 and the return mechanism 60 are not damaged.

  In the state shown in FIG. 8, when the handle 5 is wound up, the gear 70 rotates counterclockwise, and the connecting gear 72 rotates clockwise. Along with this, the cam piece 61A of the kick member 61 abuts on the engaging portion 32d of the kick side plate 32B, and the protrusion 73b formed on the connecting gear 72 by the clockwise rotation of the connecting gear 72. However, against the urging force of the urging spring 77, it abuts against the wall portion 62a 'of the projection 62a shown in FIG. 12, and rotates the kick member 61 in the clockwise direction. As a result, the kick side plate 32B is rotated counterclockwise via the cam piece 61A in contact therewith.

  The rotation of the kick side plate 32B is transmitted to the operation plate 32A via the friction spring 32C, and the switching lever 31 is rotated counterclockwise via the fixing screw 31a to automatically reach the state shown in FIG. To return. As a result, the stopper member 34 is rotated clockwise by the spring 38a, the engaging / disengaging portion 34b is engaged with the ratchet 3b, and is again switched to a restricted state in which the rotation of the spool 3 is restricted.

  In the fishing spinning reel having the above-described configuration, the return kick member 61 constituting the return mechanism 60 is supported at the central portion of the connection gear 72 in a state of being spring-biased in the rotational direction. The components that make up the non-dead mechanism can be concentrated and arranged on the support portion of the connecting gear 72, which is a rotating member, thereby enabling the space saving of the non-dead mechanism as much as possible. 1 can be miniaturized.

  The kick member 61 is arranged so that the center (indicated by the line X) of the meshing portion of the gear 70 and the connecting gear 72 is closer to the drive gear 7 side than the axis X1 of the pinion gear 9. It is possible to place the reel body close to the tooth surface 7a side, and the reel body can be made thinner, more compact and lighter as much as possible.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the gear 70 rotated by the drive gear 7 is disposed radially inward with respect to the tooth portion 7a of the drive gear 7, so that the gear 70 and the connecting gear 72 are limited in space. The reel body can be made thinner, more compact and lighter as much as possible.

  Further, as described above, the return mechanism 60 having the non-dead mechanism is configured as the unit body U, so that the handleability can be improved, and the workability when incorporated into the reel body can be improved. become. In particular, since the return mechanism is centrally arranged on the rotating member (the connecting gear 72) that rotates in conjunction with the rotation operation of the handle 5, it is possible to reduce the space of the non-dead mechanism as much as possible. The reel body can be downsized.

  Furthermore, since the urging spring 77 is incorporated between the connecting gear 72 and the kick member 61 so that the urging spring 77 is not exposed to the outside, the unit body U configured as described above is dust-proof and waterproof. As a result, the operation of the kick member 61 is stabilized, and an urging function having durability can be obtained.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to above-described embodiment, It can change variously. In the present invention, as described above, the kick member and the spring member that biases the kick member in the rotational direction to the rotating member that rotates by the rotation of the handle may be integrated as a unit body. Other configurations can be modified as appropriate.

  In addition, with respect to the kick member incorporated together with the spring member (biasing spring) as the unit body U, a predetermined angle is set on the outer periphery of the drive shaft that is a rotating member, the outer periphery of the support portion of the reel body that supports the drive shaft, the outer periphery of the collar, etc. What is necessary is just to be in the state which can be rotated and is spring-biased in the rotation direction. Further, in the configuration of the second embodiment described above, the kick member 61 is rotated at a predetermined angle on the collar 73 that is press-fitted and fixed to the reel body 1 via the fixing screw 75 in the central portion of the connection gear 72. The kick member 61 can be rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to the connecting gear 72 and is biased by a biasing spring 77. Therefore, the configuration may be such that the spring is directly biased in the rotational direction. Furthermore, the kick member 61 may be integrated so as to rotate integrally with the connecting gear 72.

  Furthermore, the present invention is characterized by a return mechanism portion (non-dead mechanism) that automatically returns to an initial position by a winding operation of a handle in a switching mechanism that switches between a drag operation state and a non-operation state in a spinning reel for fishing. However, other configurations can be appropriately modified. For this reason, for example, it is possible to apply also to a rear drag type fishing spinning reel.
