Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel equipped with a clutch mechanism for controlling the rotation of a spool, and more particularly to a structure for artificially turning on and off the clutch mechanism.

  A double-bearing fishing reel is equipped with a clutch mechanism that intermittently transmits torque between a pinion gear that rotates following a handle operation and a spool shaft.

  The clutch mechanism includes a clutch drive member that is movable between a clutch ON position where the pinion gear is engaged with the spool shaft and a clutch OFF position where the pinion gear is separated from the spool shaft. The clutch drive member is supported by one side frame of the reel body, and is elastically distributed and biased to either the clutch ON position or the clutch OFF position via a torsion spring. The clutch drive member moves from the clutch ON position to the clutch OFF position when the angler pushes down the clutch lever with the fingertips of the hand, thereby switching the spool to a free state.

  When the angler turns the handle in the direction of winding the fishing line when the spool is free, the clutch drive member moves from the clutch OFF position to the clutch ON position by the operation of the return mechanism. By this movement, a torque transmission path from the handle to the spool shaft is formed, and the spool is switched from the free state to the fishing line winding state.

  By the way, when throwing a device using a conventional fishing reel, the angler pushes down the clutch lever with the hand of the dominant arm holding the fishing rod, switches the spool to a free state, Swing toward the point that aimed at the fishing rod while applying proper braking. As a result, the fishing line wound around the spool is pulled by the flying mechanism, so that the fishing line is fed out from the rotating spool.

  If the fish hits immediately after the device has landed, the angler extends the other hand to the fishing reel handle, rotates the handle in the direction of winding the fishing line, and moves the clutch drive member from the clutch OFF position to the clutch ON. Return to position.

  At this time, the fisherman needs to extend the other hand to the position of the fishing reel that has been swung out, so the optimal timing for hooking is missed due to the time difference between the landing of the device and the actual operation of the handle. It can happen.

  In order to improve this problem, Patent Document 1 discloses a fishing reel that can shift a spool to a fishing line winding state without operating a handle. According to this fishing reel, a dedicated clutch ON operation lever for forcibly moving a clutch drive member (clutch cam) from the clutch OFF position to the clutch ON position is provided on one side frame of the reel body.

  The clutch ON operation lever has a proximal end, a distal end, and an operation projection. The base end of the clutch ON operation lever is rotatably supported on the outer surface of the side frame via a fulcrum pin. The distal end of the clutch ON operation lever extends from the base end toward the front of the reel body, and is bent in a hook shape toward the clutch drive member. The operation protrusion protrudes upward from the intermediate portion between the base end and the tip end of the reel body. Further, the clutch ON operation lever is elastically urged around the fulcrum pin by a torsion spring, and the operation projection protrudes out of the reel body by this urging.

  The tip of the clutch ON operation lever is in contact with the clutch drive member when the clutch drive member is held at the clutch OFF position. In this state, when the operation protrusion of the clutch ON operation lever is pushed in with the fingertip of the hand, the clutch ON operation lever rotates downward about the fulcrum pin, and the clutch drive member is forced from the clutch OFF position toward the clutch ON position. Rotated.

By this rotation, the pinion gear is engaged with the spool shaft, and the spool is switched from the free state to the fishing line winding state. Therefore, the free rotation of the spool is limited, and it is possible to quickly shift to the hooking operation.
JP 2000-316436 A

  In the fishing reel disclosed in Patent Document 1, a torsion spring that urges a clutch driving member and a clutch ON operation lever are disposed apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the reel body. Therefore, it is necessary to individually secure a space for disposing the clutch ON operation lever and the torsion spring on the outer side surface of the side frame of the reel body.

  In addition, the torsion spring reverses with the fixing portion to the side frame as a fulcrum when the clutch drive member is urged to the clutch ON position and the clutch OFF position. There must be enough space to allow movement.

  In addition, in Patent Document 1, the clutch drive member is rotated from the clutch OFF position toward the clutch ON position by pushing the clutch drive member at the tip of the clutch ON operation lever.

  According to such a configuration, it is necessary to greatly extend the tip of the clutch ON operation lever downward so as to be in contact with the clutch drive member. Therefore, the range of movement of the tip of the clutch ON operation lever becomes larger. Therefore, it becomes necessary to secure a wide space around the clutch ON operation lever to allow the movement of the clutch ON operation lever.

  As a result, it is not possible to avoid an increase in the size of the side frame of the reel body, and it becomes impossible to satisfy the recent demand for forming a fishing reel light and compact.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use fishing reel capable of reducing the size of a reel body while having a dedicated operation element for moving a clutch drive member from a clutch OFF position to a clutch ON position. There is.

In order to achieve the above object, a fishing reel according to one aspect of the present invention is provided.

A spool having a spool shaft rotatably supported by the reel body;
A rotating body housed in one side of the reel body and rotating in the direction of winding the fishing line following the handle operation;
Provided on one side of the reel body and movable between a clutch ON position for engaging the rotating body with the spool shaft and a clutch OFF position for releasing the engagement of the rotating body with the spool shaft A clutch drive member;
A spring provided on one side of the reel body and elastically allocating and energizing the clutch drive member to either the clutch ON position or the clutch OFF position;
A first operating element provided on the reel body and moving the clutch driving member from the clutch ON position to the clutch OFF position by an artificial operation;
Provided on the reel body, the clutch driving member is moved from the clutch OFF position to the clutch ON position by an artificial operation, and protrudes out of the reel body in conjunction with the operation of the first operator. A second operating element.

The second operating element is located between the pressing portion exposed at the outer peripheral portion of the reel body, the connecting portion connected to the clutch driving member, and the pressing portion and the connecting portion, and the reel body. A pivot part pivotally supported on one side of the
The spring and the second operating element are arranged in a positional relationship where at least a part of the reel body overlaps one side of the reel body, and the second operating element avoids the spring. It is characterized by being formed.

  According to the present invention, the installation space for the spring and the second operation element can be shared, and the limited space of the reel body can be used effectively. Further, since the second operating element is connected to the clutch driving member and directly moves the clutch driving member, the second operating element is used when the clutch driving member returns from the clutch OFF position to the clutch ON position as compared with the prior art. The operating range is reduced.

  As a result, the reel body can be compactly formed while the second operating element for returning the clutch drive member from the clutch OFF position to the clutch ON position is provided, and the fishing reel can be made smaller and lighter. Is possible.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  A double-bearing type fishing reel 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a reel body 2. The reel body 2 is fixed to a reel seat of a fishing rod (not shown) via a fishing rod mounting portion 3.

  The reel body 2 includes a frame 4 and left and right outer plates 5a and 5b. The frame 4 has left and right side frames 4a and 4b. The side frames 4 a and 4 b face each other with a gap in the width direction of the fishing reel 1.

  The left outer plate 5a is fixed to the left side frame 4a by a known means such as screwing or fitting. The outer side plate 5a covers the side frame 4a from the left side, and forms a sensor housing chamber 6 between the side plate 4a and the side frame 4a. The right outer plate 5b is fixed to the right side frame 4b by known means such as screwing and fitting. The outer plate 5b covers the side frame 4b from the right side and forms a gear chamber 7 between the side plate 4b and the side frame 4b.

  A spool 8 is supported on the reel body 2. The spool 8 includes a spool shaft 9, a fishing line winding body portion 10 that rotates integrally with the spool shaft 9, and a pair of flanges 11 a and 11 b that are positioned at both ends along the axial direction of the fishing line winding body portion 10. Yes. One end of the spool shaft 9 is rotatably supported on the side frame 4 a of the frame 4 via a bearing 12. An intermediate portion of the spool shaft 9 is rotatably supported by the side frame 4 b of the frame 4 via another bearing 13.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the other end portion of the spool shaft 9 penetrates the side frame 4 b and protrudes into the gear chamber 7. A pinion gear 18, which is an example of a rotating body, is fitted and supported on the outer peripheral surface of the other end portion of the spool shaft 9.

  The pinion gear 18 is accommodated in the gear chamber 7 and is movable in the axial direction of the spool shaft 9 between the engagement position and the engagement release position. In the engaged position, one end of the pinion gear 18 is engaged with the spool shaft 9, and the pinion gear 18 and the spool shaft 9 rotate integrally. At the disengagement position, one end of the pinion gear 18 is disconnected from the spool shaft 9 and the engagement of the pinion gear 18 with respect to the spool shaft 9 is released.

  Further, a handle shaft 16 and a clutch mechanism 17 are accommodated in the gear chamber 7 of the reel body 2. The handle shaft 16 is disposed in parallel with the spool shaft 9. The handle shaft 16 is supported by the right outer plate 5b via a rolling one-way clutch 19 that allows rotation in the direction of winding the fishing line. The handle shaft 16 supports a drive gear 21 incorporating a drag mechanism and a clutch return gear 22. The drive gear 21 meshes with the pinion gear 18 in the gear chamber 7. The clutch return gear 22 is configured to rotate integrally with the handle shaft 16 in the gear chamber 7.

  The handle shaft 16 protrudes out of the reel body 2 through the right outer plate 5b. A dragging star drag 23 and a handle 24 are attached to the protruding end of the handle shaft 16. The handle 24 is for a fisherman to manually operate when winding the fishing line around the spool 8, and is adjacent to the star drag 23.

  The clutch mechanism 17 is for selectively moving the pinion gear 18 between the engagement position and the engagement release position. As shown in FIG. 2, the clutch mechanism 17 includes a clutch drive member 26, a yoke 27, a first hold spring 28, and a clutch operating piece 29.

  The clutch drive member 26 is supported on the outer surface of the side frame 4 b of the frame 4. The clutch drive member 26 is rotatable over a certain angular range around the spool shaft 9. The clutch drive member 26 is formed with a pair of face cam portions 30a and 30b. The face cam portions 30a and 30b protrude from the clutch drive member 26 toward the side opposite to the side frame 4b.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a pair of guide shafts 31a and 31b are formed on the side frame 4b. The guide shafts 31a and 31b are disposed in parallel with the spool shaft 9 with the spool shaft 9 and the clutch drive member 26 interposed therebetween, and project into the gear chamber 7 from the outer surface of the side frame 4b.

  The yoke 27 is disposed so as to straddle between the guide shafts 31a and 31b. Both end portions along the longitudinal direction of the yoke 27 are slidably supported by the guide shafts 31a and 31b. An intermediate portion of the yoke 27 is engaged with a groove portion 32 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the pinion gear 18. Therefore, the yoke 27 can move in the axial direction of the spool shaft 9 together with the pinion gear 18.

  The yoke 27 is always urged toward the clutch drive member 26 by a clutch spring (not shown). By this urging, the yoke 27 is pressed against the face cam portions 30a and 30b of the clutch drive member 26. Therefore, when the clutch drive member 26 is rotated, the yoke 27 moves in the axial direction of the spool shaft 9 together with the pinion gear 18 in accordance with the shape of the face cam portions 30a and 30b.

  That is, the clutch drive member 26 is rotatable between a clutch ON position that moves the pinion gear 18 to the engaged position and a clutch OFF position that moves the pinion gear 18 to the disengaged position. FIG. 2 discloses a state where the clutch driving member 26 is rotated to the clutch ON position. A position where the clutch driving member 26 is rotated by a predetermined angle in the counterclockwise direction from the clutch ON position is a clutch OFF position shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, an extension 34 that extends toward the rear of the side frame 4 b is formed at the rear end of the clutch drive member 26. The distal end portion of the extending portion 34 is guided between the left and right side frames 4a and 4b through a slit 35 opened in the side frame 4b.

  A clutch lever 36 is attached to the distal end portion of the extending portion 34. The clutch lever 36 is an example of a first operation element that is operated by the fingertip of the hand of the dominant arm holding the fishing rod by the angler, and extends horizontally in the width direction of the reel body 2 immediately after the spool 8. Such a clutch lever 36 is provided between the first operation position for switching the clutch drive member 26 to the clutch ON position and the second operation position for switching the clutch drive member 26 to the clutch OFF position. It is possible to move to.

  The first hold spring 28 is for elastically distributing and energizing the clutch drive member 26 to the clutch ON position and the clutch OFF position, and a torsion spring is used in the present embodiment. The torsion spring includes a coil portion 37, a fixed arm portion 38 a that protrudes from one end of the coil portion 37, and a movable arm portion 38 b that protrudes from the other end of the coil portion 37.

  The distal end of the fixed side arm portion 38a is hooked in a locking hole 40 formed in the upper end portion of the outer side surface of the side frame 4b. The locking hole 40 holds the fixed-side arm portion 38 a of the first hold spring 28 above the pinion shaft 9 that is the rotation center of the clutch driving member 26.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the movable arm portion 38b is adjacent to the outer surface of the side frame 4b. A recess 39 into which the movable arm portion 38b enters is formed on the outer surface of the side frame 4b. The distal end of the movable arm portion 38 b is elastically hooked to a notch 41 formed at the upper end portion of the clutch drive member 26. The notch 41 is an example of a first locking portion, and as shown in FIG. 2, when the clutch drive member 26 is rotated to the clutch ON position, the center of the spool shaft 9 and the fixed arm portion It is displaced forward of the reel body 2 with respect to the straight line X1 connecting the tip of 38a.

  Therefore, the movable side arm portion 38b of the first hold spring 28 has an upper portion of the clutch drive member 26 at a position shifted forward of the reel body 2 from the straight line X1 when the clutch drive member 26 is in the clutch ON position. Is biased downward. As a result, the clutch drive member 26 is urged clockwise about the spool shaft 9 as indicated by the arrow S1 in FIG. 2, and is held at the clutch ON position.

  When the clutch lever 36 is pushed down with a fingertip, the clutch drive member 26 rotates from the clutch ON position toward the clutch OFF position. By this rotation of the clutch drive member 26, the notch 41 that receives the tip of the movable arm portion 38b is displaced rearward of the reel body 2 from the straight line X1. As a result, the direction in which the urging force of the first hold spring 28 acts on the clutch drive member 26 is reversed, and the clutch drive member 26 is urged counterclockwise as indicated by an arrow S2 in FIG. Retained.

  Therefore, the first hold spring 28 is rotationally displaced over a predetermined angular range with the tip of the fixed arm portion 38a as a fulcrum so as to follow the rotation of the clutch drive member 26.

  The clutch operating piece 29 of the clutch mechanism 17 is rotatably supported by the lower end portion of the clutch drive member 26. The clutch operating piece 29 is adjacent to the clutch return gear 22 below the spool shaft 9 and the yoke 27. The clutch operating piece 29 has an engaging claw 42 that protrudes toward the outer periphery of the clutch return gear 22.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, a second hold spring 44 is bridged between the clutch operating piece 29 and the lower portion of the side frame 4b. The second hold spring 44 urges the clutch operating piece 29 in a direction in which the engaging claw 42 moves away from the clutch return gear 22 when the clutch driving member 26 is held at the clutch ON position. Further, the second hold spring 44 urges the clutch operating piece 29 in a direction in which the engagement pawl 42 meshes with the clutch return gear 22 when the clutch driving member 26 is held at the clutch OFF position.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the clutch mechanism 17 further includes a metal push lever 45. The push lever 45 is an example of a second operator that rotates the clutch driving member 26 from the clutch OFF position to the clutch ON position. The push lever 45 is accommodated in the gear chamber 7 of the reel body 2 and is disposed on the left side frame 4 b adjacent to the handle 24.

  The push lever 45 includes a pressing part 46, a connecting part 47, and a pivot part 48. The pressing portion 46 has a plate shape having an outer peripheral edge portion 46a that is curved in an arc shape along the upper end portion of the side frame 4b. The pressing portion 46 extends in the front-rear direction of the side frame 4b and faces the outer surface of the side frame 4b. The outer peripheral edge 46a of the pressing portion 46 is exposed to the outside of the reel body 2 through a slit 49 formed in the upper end portion of the side frame 4b.

  The connecting portion 47 of the push lever 45 has an arm shape extending downward from the front end of the pressing portion 46 toward the spool shaft 9. In other words, the connecting portion 47 extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the pressing portion 46, and the upper portion of the clutch driving member 26 is interposed between the lower portion of the connecting portion 47 and the outer surface of the side frame 4b. For this reason, the lower portion of the connecting portion 47 and the upper portion of the clutch driving member 26 overlap each other in the width direction of the reel body 2.

  An engaging protrusion 51 is formed on a side surface of the connecting portion 47 facing the upper portion of the clutch driving member 26. The engagement protrusion 51 is caught in an engagement hole 52 formed in the upper part of the clutch drive member 26. The engagement hole 52 is an example of a second engagement portion, and is positioned so that the groove portion 32 that receives the movable arm portion 38 b of the first hold spring 28 is adjacent to the engagement hole 52. ing.

  The pivot portion 48 of the push lever 45 is located between the pressing portion 46 and the connecting portion 47. That is, the pivot portion 48 is positioned at a corner defined by the pressing portion 46 and the connecting portion 47, and is rotatably supported by the reel body 2 via the pivot 53.

  The pivot 53 is another component independent of the push lever 45, the side frame 4b, and the outer plate 5b, and is formed of a metal material such as stainless steel or copper alloy. The pivot 53 is preferably subjected to a surface treatment such as a plating treatment on its outer peripheral surface in order to enhance durability and mechanical strength.

  The pivot 53 passes through a through hole 54 opened in the pivot 48 and straddles between the side frame 4b and the outer plate 5b. One end of the pivot 53 is fitted into a first fitting recess 55 formed on the outer surface of the side frame 4b. The other end of the pivot 53 is fitted in a second fitting recess 56 formed on the inner surface of the outer plate 5b. Therefore, the pivot 53 can be removed from the side frame 4b and the outer plate 5b.

  Further, the pivot 53 is adjacent to the locking hole 40 in which the fixed arm portion 38a of the first hold spring 28 is hooked.

  The connecting portion 47 of the push lever 45 is directly connected to the upper portion of the clutch driving member 26 via the engaging protrusion 51 as described above. For this reason, the push lever 45 receives the urging force of the first hold spring 28 and can rotate between the return position and the standby position in conjunction with the clutch drive member 26.

  2 and 3 disclose a state in which the push lever 45 is rotated to the return position.

At the return position, the clutch drive member 26 is held at the clutch ON position, so that the push lever 45 is urged counterclockwise as indicated by the arrow S3 about the pivot 53. As a result, the pressing portion 46 of the push lever 45 enters the gear chamber 7, and the outer peripheral edge 46 a of the pressing portion 46 closes the slit 49. Accordingly, the push lever 45 is stored in the reel body 2 and cannot be operated by the angler with the fingertip of the hand.

  7 and 8 disclose a state where the push lever 45 is rotated to the standby position. At the standby position, the clutch drive member 26 is held at the clutch OFF position, so that the push lever 45 is urged clockwise about the pivot 53 as indicated by an arrow S4. Thereby, the outer peripheral edge 46a of the pressing part 46 protrudes out of the reel body 2 from the slit 49, and the angler can push the pressing part 46 into the reel body 2 with the fingertip of the hand.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the push lever 45 is rotated to the return position, the pressing portion 46 of the push lever 45 and the fixed-side arm portion 38 a of the first hold spring 28 are connected to the reel body 2. It is kept in a positional relationship overlapping with each other in the width direction. Similarly, the connecting portion 47 of the push lever 45 and the distal end portion of the movable side arm portion 38 b of the first hold spring 28 are kept in a positional relationship where they overlap each other in the width direction of the reel body 2.

  In the present embodiment, a first recess 58 is formed on the inner surface of the pressing portion 46 of the push lever 45 facing the side frame 4b. The first recess 58 is an example of an escape portion that avoids interference between the push lever 45 and the fixed arm portion 38a, and is cut out downward from the pressing portion 46 so that the fixed arm portion 38a enters. .

  At the same time, the first hold spring 28 rotates around the tip of the fixed arm portion 38a so as to follow the rotation of the clutch drive member 26, so that the first recess 58 is fixed to the fixed arm portion. It has a shape that expands as it moves downward so as to allow the displacement accompanying the rotation of 38a.

  Furthermore, the 1st recessed part 58 has the wall surface 58a which faces the outer surface of the side frame 4b. The wall surface 58a covers the fixed arm portion 38a of the first hold spring 28 from the direction of the outer plate 5b. Therefore, the fixed arm portion 38 a is located between the outer surface of the side frame 4 b and the pressing portion 46 of the push lever 45.

  In the present embodiment, a second recess 59 is formed on the inner surface of the connecting portion 47 of the push lever 45 so as to face the side frame 4b. The second recess 59 is an example of an escape portion that avoids interference between the push lever 45 and the movable arm portion 38 b, and is notched so that the movable arm portion 38 b enters between the pivot 53 and the engagement protrusion 51. Has a shape.

  The 2nd recessed part 59 has the wall surface 59a facing the outer surface of the side frame 4b. The wall surface 59a covers the distal end portion of the movable arm portion 38b of the first hold spring 28 from the direction of the outer plate 5b. Therefore, the distal end portion of the movable side arm portion 38 b is located between the outer surface of the side frame 4 b and the connecting portion 47 of the push lever 45.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the fishing reel 1 is equipped with a line length measuring unit 60 that measures the amount of fishing line fed and the amount of winding associated with the rotation of the spool 8. The line length measuring unit 60 includes a detector 61 that detects the rotation direction and the number of rotations of the spool 8, and a display 62 that displays information related to the line length of the fishing line including the amount of fishing line fed and the amount of winding. . The detector 61 is housed in the sensor housing chamber 6 of the reel body 2. The indicator 62 is supported by the upper ends of the side frames 4a and 4b of the reel body 2 so as to be easily seen by the angler, and is positioned immediately before the spool 8.

  In actually fishing using the fishing reel 1 having such a configuration, the angler first pushes down the clutch lever 36 from the first operation position to the second operation position with the hand of the dominant arm holding the fishing rod. . As a result, the clutch drive member 26 rotates in the counterclockwise direction around the spool shaft 9 from the clutch ON position toward the clutch OFF position. At the same time, the direction in which the urging force of the first hold spring 28 acts on the clutch drive member 26 is reversed, and the clutch drive member 26 is urged toward the clutch OFF position.

  When the clutch driving member 26 is rotated from the clutch ON position toward the clutch OFF position, the push lever 45 is rotated clockwise around the pivot 53, and the pressing portion 46 of the push lever 45 is the slit 49 of the side frame 4b. From above the reel body 2. Further, the clutch operating piece 29 is rotated by receiving the urging force of the second hold spring 44, and the engaging claw 42 of the clutch operating piece 29 meshes with the clutch return gear 22.

  When the clutch drive member 26 reaches the clutch OFF position, the face cam portions 30a and 30b of the clutch drive member 26 press the yoke 27 in a direction away from the clutch drive member 26 against the urging force of the clutch spring. The yoke 27 moves the pinion gear 18 from the engagement position toward the disengagement position, so that the pinion gear 18 is separated from the spool shaft 9. As a result, the spool 8 shifts to a free state, and the fishing line can be fed out from the spool 8.

  After switching the spool 8 to the free state, the angler swings toward the point aimed at the fishing rod while applying appropriate braking to the spool 8 by summing. As a result, the fishing line wound around the spool 8 is pulled by the flying mechanism, so that the fishing line is fed out from the rotating spool 8.

  When the device reaches the ground, the angler turns the handle 24 with the other hand and rotates the handle shaft 16 in the direction of winding the fishing line. Since the clutch return gear 22 on the handle shaft 16 rotates integrally with the handle shaft 16, the clutch return gear 22 moves the clutch drive member 26 from the clutch OFF position to the clutch ON position via the clutch operating piece 29. Rotate clockwise.

  By this rotation, the pressing of the yoke 27 by the face cam portions 30a, 30b is released, and the yoke 27 is pushed back in the direction approaching the side frame 4b by the urging force of the clutch spring. As a result, the pinion gear 18 follows the movement of the yoke 27 and moves from the disengagement position to the engagement position, and the pinion gear 18 engages with the spool shaft 9. As a result, the handle shaft 16 and the spool 8 are directly connected, and feeding of the fishing line from the spool 8 is stopped.

  On the other hand, if the fish hits immediately after the device has landed, the angler shifts the thumb of the hand holding the fishing rod to the right side from the spool 8, and the push lever 45 jumps out of the slit 49 of the side frame 4b with this thumb. The pressing portion 46 is pushed in. By this pushing operation, the push lever 45 rotates about the pivot 53 in the counterclockwise direction indicated by the arrow S3 in FIG. 2, and the clutch drive member 26 is turned off against the urging force of the first hold spring 28. Forcibly rotate from the position toward the clutch ON position.

  By this rotation, the pressing of the yoke 27 by the face cam portions 30a, 30b is released, and the yoke 27 is pushed back in the direction approaching the side frame 4b by the urging force of the clutch spring. Accordingly, the pinion gear 18 follows the movement of the yoke 27 and moves from the disengagement position to the engagement position, and the pinion gear 18 engages with the spool shaft 9. As a result, the feeding of the fishing line from the spool 8 is immediately stopped, and the hooking operation can be quickly performed.

  According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the first hold spring 28 that urges the clutch drive member 26, the pressing portion 46 of the push lever 45, and the connecting portion 47 overlap each other with respect to the side frame 4 b of the reel body 2. Such a positional relationship is maintained. Further, the pressing portion 46 of the push lever 45 has a first recess 58 cut out so as to avoid interference with the fixed-side arm portion 38 a of the first hold spring 28, and the connecting portion 47 of the push lever 45. Has a second recess 59 cut out so as to avoid interference with the movable arm portion 38 b of the first hold spring 28.

  Therefore, the push lever 45 and the first hold spring 28 are arranged on the outer surface of the side frame 4b so as not to hinder the operation of both the push lever 45 and the first hold spring 28. can do. Therefore, the installation space for the push lever 45 and the first hold spring 28 with respect to the side frame 4b can be shared, and the limited space on the outer surface of the side frame 4b can be effectively utilized.

  Furthermore, since the lower end of the connecting portion 47 extending from the front end of the pressing portion 46 toward the spool shaft 9 is directly connected to the clutch drive member 26, the push lever 45 is moved between the standby position and the return position. The operating range of the push lever 45 when rotating is reduced.

  As a result, it is not necessary to secure a wide space around the push lever 45 that allows the movement of the push lever 45. Therefore, the side frame 4b of the reel main body 2 can be formed compactly while having a configuration in which a dedicated push lever 45 for returning the clutch driving member 26 from the clutch OFF position to the clutch ON position is added. There is an advantage that the fishing reel 1 is reduced in size and weight, and the usability of the fishing reel 1 is improved.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the pivot shaft 53 that supports the push lever 45 on the reel body 2 is composed of other parts independent of the side frame 4b, the outer plate 5b, and the push lever 45.

  According to this configuration, the pivot 53 that supports the push lever 45 can be formed of a material having appropriate mechanical strength and durability, and sufficient support strength of the push lever 45 that moves the clutch drive member 26 is ensured. be able to.

  Furthermore, since it is not necessary to integrally form a shaft portion that functions as the pivot 53 on the side frame 4b, the shape of the side frame 4b can be simplified as much as possible, and the formability of the side frame 4b is improved.

  At the same time, since the pivot 53 can be detached from the side frame 4b, the outer plate 5b and the push lever 45, for example, even if the pivot 53 is worn or damaged, it is only necessary to replace the pivot 53. Can do. Therefore, the side frame 4b, the outer plate 5b, and the push lever 45 can be used repeatedly, which is economical and has good workability during maintenance and inspection.

  In addition, when the fixed side arm portion 38a of the first hold spring 28 is hooked into the locking hole 40 of the side frame 4b, the pivot 53 is removed from the first recess 55 of the side frame 4b, thereby The surroundings can be opened widely. Therefore, the operation of hooking the first hold spring 28 on the side frame 4b and the clutch drive member 26 can be easily performed while the locking hole 40 and the pivot 53 are close to each other.

  Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability at the time of assembling the fishing reel 1 without requiring time and labor for assembling the first hold spring 28.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment, and can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the invention.

  For example, FIGS. 9 to 11 disclose a second embodiment of the present invention. This second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration for preventing interference between the fixed arm portion 38a of the first hold spring 28 and the pressing portion 46 of the push lever 45. The other configuration of the fishing reel 1 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, a relief portion 71 that avoids interference with the stationary arm portion 38 a is formed in the pressing portion 46 of the push lever 45. The escape portion 71 is a notch that is cut so that the fixed side arm portion 38a enters, and an inner side surface 72a that faces the side frame 4b of the pressing portion 46, an outer side surface 72b that faces the outer side plate 5b of the pressing portion 46, and the pressing portion. It opens continuously on the lower surface of 46. Furthermore, the escape portion 71 has a shape that expands as it moves downward so as to allow displacement due to the rotation of the fixed arm portion 38a.

  For this reason, in the second embodiment, the fixed-side arm portion 38 a of the first hold spring 28 is not covered with the pressing portion 46 and is exposed in the direction of the outer plate 5 b.

  According to such a configuration, the fixed-side arm portion 38a of the first hold spring 28 is exposed in the direction of the outer plate 5b through the escape portion 71 of the pressing portion 46, so that the push lever 45 is attached to the side frame 4b. In the state as it is, the fixed side arm part 38a can be attached to the side frame 4b, or the fixed side arm part 38a can be detached from the side frame 4b.

  Therefore, there is an advantage that the first hold spring 28 can be easily attached and detached, and workability at the time of maintenance and inspection of the fishing reel 1 is improved.
