Further, in order to prevent the forefinger from being injured by an edge portion of the handle arm when the forefinger is moved to the handle arm side, a finger reception part having an inclined face leaving from a handle knob is formed in an end part of the handle arm that is the rear side in a fishing line winding rotation direction by a handle.

Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel handle device, and more particularly to a fishing reel handle device with improved handle operability for rotating the reel.

Fishing reels include spinning reels and double-bearing reels. In particular, double-bearing reels are designed to be suitable for big fishing such as jigging fishing and trolling fishing, and the fishing line winding handle device has sufficient strength. Therefore, it is necessary to design the structure with excellent operability. For both bearing reels such as jigging fishing, the handle shaft for supporting the fishing line winding handle to the spool is arranged in parallel with the spool shaft, and the friction engagement portion of the drag mechanism and the drag mechanism are adjusted coaxially with the spool shaft. A lever drag type dual bearing reel in which a lever is disposed is known (for example, Patent Document 1).
In addition, as another form of double-bearing reel designed to be suitable for big fishing such as jigging fishing and trolling fishing, there is one in which a drag mechanism and an adjustment knob of the drag mechanism are arranged coaxially with the handle shaft. It is known. Furthermore, spinning reels are also known.

  In both bearing reels, when rotating the handle, there is a problem that the thumb of the hand holding the handle knob hits the front edge of the handle arm near the mounting shaft, and the fingertip of the thumb is sheared to swell. is there. In order to prevent this, it is conceivable to increase the length of the mounting shaft so that the thumb of the hand holding the handle knob does not come into contact with the handle arm. It will not be transmitted to the handle arm. When the length of the mounting shaft is limited to avoid this, there arises a problem that the thumb of the hand holding the handle knob hits the front edge of the handle arm near the mounting shaft. In order to prevent the thumb from being injured, there is one in which the front edge of the handle arm is cut obliquely to form a shock-absorbing portion (for example, Patent Document 2).

JP 2001-148975 A JP-A-11-332434

  In Patent Document 2, when the length of the mounting shaft is limited, it is assumed that the thumb of the hand holding the handle knob moves and hits the front edge of the handle arm near the mounting shaft, and the resulting thumb Is to prevent injuries.

  Both-bearing reels designed to be suitable for fishing that requires operability such as black bass fishing and big fishing such as jigging fishing and trolling fishing, when winding fishing line on the spool when fish is caught It is necessary to rotate the handle with a large force. Therefore, the length of the mounting shaft is limited to some extent in order to maintain a sufficient strength. With the configuration, as shown in FIG. 6 of Patent Document 2, the handle knob is wrapped in the palm of the hand. The thumb of the hand with the handle knob clamped is placed on the upper side or the rear side of the mounting shaft connecting the handle knob to the handle arm and the index finger of the hand holding the handle knob below or on the front side of the mounting shaft. Therefore, it is common to rotate the handle with the mounting shaft sandwiched between the thumb and forefinger.

  In the present invention, the length of the mounting shaft is adjusted so that a stable handle rotation can be obtained with a strong force when the handle knob is normally operated in a dual-bearing reel operated with the handle knob clamped. When set to an appropriate length, as in Patent Document 2, it is not assumed that the thumb of the hand holding the handle knob moves to the front edge near the mounting axis in the handle arm and is injured. Rather, the main object is to prevent the injury of the index finger of the hand holding the handle knob, and the present invention is different in basic idea from Patent Document 2.

  That is, according to the present invention, the length of the mounting shaft for connecting the handle knob to the handle arm is limited to some extent, and the handle knob is wrapped in the palm of the hand and tightened, and the handle knob is connected to the handle arm. The shaft must be suitable for rotating the handle with the handle pinched between the thumb and forefinger of the hand.

Then, in order to prevent the forefinger of the hand that has squeezed the handle knob from moving to the handle arm side and coming into contact with the handle arm, the first protection means is provided on the outer periphery of the portion of the mounting shaft portion adjacent to the handle arm. Provide. This first protection means is achieved by an annular finger movement blocking portion that expands to a size that protrudes outward from the tip of the handle arm at all times during rotation of fishing line winding.
In the unlikely event that the index finger of the hand holding the handle knob moves to the handle arm side, the second protective means is attached to the end of the handle arm to prevent the index finger from being injured at the edge of the handle arm. Provide. This second protection means is achieved by a finger receiving portion in which an inclined surface away from the handle knob is formed at the end of the handle arm on the rear side of the fishing line winding rotation direction by the handle.

  As a result, a stable handle rotation can be obtained with a strong force, and the index finger of the hand holding the handle knob can be prevented from being injured by the handle arm. Further, this configuration has an effect of protecting the thumb of the hand holding the handle knob.

  The handle device having such an operational effect is effective when applied to a double-bearing reel that requires a stable handle rotation with a strong force, and is also effective when applied to a spinning reel suitable for relatively small fishing. Therefore, the present invention provides a handle device that can be applied to both bearing reels and spinning reels.

A first aspect of the present invention is a fishing reel in which fishing line is wound around a spool supported by a reel body by rotating the handle. The handle is gripped by a palm, a handle arm having a base fixed to an outer end portion of the handle shaft, and a palm. A handle knob (grip portion) of the type, and the handle knob (grip portion) is rotatably supported by a handle knob support shaft portion attached to the tip end portion of the handle arm,
The handle knob (grip part) constitutes a rod-like body in which an intermediate part between both ends is rotatably coupled to the tip of the handle knob support shaft part while maintaining a crossing state with the handle knob support shaft part,
The handle knob support shaft portion has a size and a length that can be sandwiched between a thumb and an index finger of a hand that grips the handle knob (grip portion),
Formed on the outer periphery of the handle knob support shaft portion adjacent to the handle arm is an annular finger movement prevention portion that is expanded to a size that projects outward from the tip of the handle arm at all times during fishing line winding rotation. And, in the edge of the surface of the handle arm on the side where the handle knob support shaft is mounted, the direction away from the handle knob (grip) to the edge on the rear side in the fishing line winding rotation direction A handle device is characterized in that a finger receiving portion that inclines toward a bulge is formed.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a spool rotatably supported by a spool shaft supported by a reel body, a drag mechanism for adjusting a drag force of the spool in a fishing line feeding direction, and the spool rotated via the drag mechanism. A handle knob of a type including a gear device for driving and a handle for rotating a handle shaft for rotationally driving the gear device, and having a handle arm base fixed to an outer end portion of the handle shaft and gripping with a palm ( In a dual-bearing reel in which a grip portion is rotatably supported by a handle knob support shaft portion attached to the distal end portion of the handle arm,
The handle knob (grip part) constitutes a rod-like body in which an intermediate part between both ends is rotatably coupled to the tip of the handle knob support shaft part while maintaining a crossing state with the handle knob support shaft part,
The handle knob support shaft portion has a size and a length that can be sandwiched between a thumb and an index finger of a hand that grips the handle knob (grip portion),
Formed on the outer periphery of the handle knob support shaft portion adjacent to the handle arm is an annular finger movement prevention portion that is expanded to a size that projects outward from the tip of the handle arm at all times during fishing line winding rotation. And, in the edge of the surface of the handle arm on the side where the handle knob support shaft is mounted, the direction away from the handle knob (grip) to the edge on the rear side in the fishing line winding rotation direction A handle device is characterized in that a finger receiving portion that inclines toward a bulge is formed.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the invention, the handle knob support shaft portion has a circular cross-section, and the finger movement prevention portion is provided on the handle arm to which the handle knob support shaft portion is attached. It is formed in a circular shape with an outer diameter of a size that projects 1 mm or more outward from the distal end portion, and the finger receiving portion is at one end of the finger receiving portion within the projection range of the finger movement blocking portion with respect to the handle arm. It extends in the direction of the handlebar shaft in the state where it is applied.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, the handle knob support shaft portion has a circular or oval cross section in cross section, and the finger movement blocking portion is a handle knob (grip portion). The gripping portion of the hand gripping the thumb and forefinger has a shape that gradually expands to 1.3 to 2.5 times the outer diameter of the handle knob support shaft portion, and the finger receiving portion includes the handle It is characterized in that the arc bulges continuously from the end edge of the arm and the entire arc forms the inclination.

  In any of the first and second inventions, the finger movement prevention unit of course functions to prevent the index finger and / or thumb of the hand holding the handle knob from moving to the handle arm side. Since the finger movement prevention part has an annular shape that expands outward beyond the tip of the handle arm, even if the index finger and / or thumb get over the finger movement prevention part, it touches the tip of the handle arm and is injured. Can be prevented. In addition, the end of the handle arm, which is the rear side of the fishing line winding direction, is formed with a finger receiving part that inclines away from the handle knob, so that the index finger of the hand holding the handle knob is on the handle arm side. Even when moved, the index finger is supported by the finger receiving portion, so that it is possible to prevent the handle arm from being injured by being sandwiched between the edge portion of the handle arm or the handle arm and the reel body. Further, since the finger receiving portion is inclined in the direction away from the handle knob, it is possible to prevent the index finger from being injured at the edge of the finger receiving portion. As a result, the handle knob support shaft portion is held between the thumb and the index finger, and a stable handle rotation can be obtained with a strong force, and the index finger and / or thumb of the hand holding the handle knob are injured by the handle arm. The effect which can prevent that is acquired. Therefore, it is possible to provide a handle device applicable to both the bearing reel and the spinning reel.

  The third invention has the effects according to the first and second inventions, and the finger movement blocking portion has a size that protrudes 1 mm or more outward from the distal end portion of the handle arm to which the handle knob support shaft portion is attached. Therefore, even if the forefinger and / or thumb get over the finger movement prevention portion, it is possible to prevent injury from coming into contact with the tip of the handle arm. In addition, the finger receiving part is formed at a position close to the handle axis direction with one end of the finger receiving part being applied to the projection range of the finger movement preventing part with respect to the handle arm, so that the index finger can overcome the finger movement preventing part. However, since the index finger is received by the finger receiving portion, it is possible to prevent injury from occurring at the edge of the finger receiving portion. Even if the thumb gets over the finger movement prevention portion, the thumb can be prevented from being injured at the edge of the finger receiving portion.

  The fourth invention has the effects according to the first to third inventions, and can maintain the handle knob support shaft portion sandwiched between the thumb and the index finger by the finger movement blocking portion, and the index finger of the hand holding the handle knob can be maintained. Thus, it is possible to maintain a state where it is difficult to move to the handle arm side. Further, the arcuate finger receiving portion as a whole forms an inclined surface, so that the index finger can be effectively prevented from being injured at the edge of the finger receiving portion.

  The metal reel body 11 includes a first left side plate 11A having a circular shape in side view covering the left side surface of the circular spool 15, and a second right side plate having a circular shape in side view covering the right side surface of the circular spool 15. The side plate 11B is a side surface fixed to the first side plate 11A with screws 11H so as to cover the outside of the first side plate 11A with the configuration in which the side plate 11B is arranged facing the plurality of connecting portions 11C as opposed to each other. A metal first side plate cover 11D having a circular shape and a metal second side plate cover 11E fixed to the second side plate 11B with screws 11G so as to cover the outside of the second side plate 11B are provided. The screw 11H is disposed in the recess so as not to protrude from the outer surface of the first side plate cover 11D so that the palm of the left hand LH of the operator does not contact.

  The left side surface of the first side plate cover 11D has a curved surface 11D1 protruding with a large curvature outward from the peripheral edge toward the center so that the palm of the left hand LH of the operator can easily follow, and swells into a substantially spherical shape. It has an oval shape. The second side plate cover 11E is integrally formed with a circular portion in a side view covering the right side surface of the circular spool 15 and a portion for accommodating the metal main gear 22 connected to the metal handle mounting portion 12T. It is composed of a metal second side plate inner cover 11E1 and a metal second side plate outer cover 11E2 that accommodates the handle mounting portion 12T. The second side plate inner cover 11E1 is fixed to the second side plate 11B with screws 11G. The second side plate inner cover 11E1 and the second side plate outer cover 11E2 communicate with each other at a portion where the handle attachment portion 12T is connected to the main gear 22. It is connected with a screw 11J in a state to be. A gear cover 11E3 is provided to cover the main gear 22 in the second side plate inner cover 11E1, and the gear cover 11E3 has an outer end connected to the second side plate inner cover 11E1 and an inner end connected with a screw 11K. It is the structure attached to the 2 side board 11B.

  In the reel body 11, the left and right side portions of the spool shaft 16 are provided with a shaft support portion 11D2 provided on a first side plate cover 11D which is a part of the first side plate 11A, and a second side plate which is a part of the second side plate 11B. It is supported by a shaft support portion 11D3 provided on the cover 11E, so that the metal spool shaft 16 cannot rotate with respect to the reel body 11 and can move in the axial direction of the spool shaft 16 (movable left and right). is there. In the embodiment, the bulging portion 11E1B bulging coaxially with the spool shaft 16 is formed on the outer surface portion of the second side plate cover 11E (specifically, the outer surface portion of the second side plate inner cover 11E1). A shaft support portion 11D3 is formed on the bulging portion 11E1B so that the spool shaft 16 extends through the protruding portion 11E1B so as to be movable in the axial direction and not rotatable. A groove 11D21 into which a detent pin 16P protruding from the spool shaft 16 is fitted is formed in a part of the shaft support portion 11D2, and the spool shaft 16 is fitted in the state in which the detent pin 16P is fitted into the groove 11D21. Is non-rotatable and movable in the axial direction (movable left and right).

  The metal spool 15 for winding the fishing line 62 includes a cylindrical small-diameter spool body 15A for winding the fishing line 62, and circular large-diameter flange portions 15B and 15C provided on the left and right sides of the spool body 15A. It is integrally formed. The spool 15 is supported so that both left and right side portions can freely rotate with respect to the spool shaft 16 via bearings 17A and 17B. In this state, the left flange portion 15B is arranged so as to enter the inside of the first side plate 11A of the reel body 11, and the right flange portion 15C enters the inside of the second side plate 11B of the reel body 11. It is arranged with.

  The bearing 17A is mounted in the first concave portion on the left side of the spool 15, and is provided by a first biasing member 27 including four disc springs that exert a biasing force on the washer 16W attached to the spool shaft 16 and the bearing 17A. In FIG. 7, it is biased inward, which is the right direction, and is pressed against the first recess of the spool 15. The bearing 17B is mounted in a second concave portion on the right side of the spool 15, and the second urging member 28 formed of a coil spring disposed around the spool shaft 16 between the bearing 17 and the bearing 25 described later is used to (Leftward in FIG. 7). The second biasing member 28 biases the spool 15 inward of the spool shaft 16 (leftward in FIG. 7) so that the first friction plate 13A is separated from the second friction plate 13B in the drag-free state. To do.

  In the spool 15, the fishing line 62 is wound around the spool 15 by the rotation operation of the handle 12 that is rotatably attached to the reel body 11. The spool 15 is formed with a bobbin trunk 15A and left and right flanges 15B and 15C so that a fishing line 62 of No. 2 twisted thread (referred to as a PE line) can be stably wound up to a length of about 600 m.

  The handle 12 includes a plate-shaped metal handle arm 12B and a grip portion 12D formed of rubber or synthetic resin having a slight elasticity as a handle knob. The handle 12 rotates to the reel body 11 at the handle attachment portion 12T. It is installed freely. Specifically, the handle attachment portion 12T has an axis 12AS parallel to the axis 16S of the spool shaft 16 by bearings 18A and 18B provided in the second side plate cover 11E (in the drawing, the second side plate outer cover 11E2). A metal handle shaft 12A is rotatably supported, and a base portion of the handle arm 12B is fixed by a screw 19 to an outer end portion (right end portion in the drawing) of the handle shaft 12A penetrating the second side plate cover 11E. A grip portion 12D is rotatably supported by a handle knob support shaft portion 12E at the distal end portion of the arm 12B. The handle knob support shaft portion 12E is a cylindrical portion integral with the handle portion 12D via the bearings 20A and 20B on the handle knob shaft 12C fixed to the distal end portion of the handle arm 12B so as to intersect the handle arm 12B at a substantially right angle. 12D1 is rotatably supported. Thus, when the fishing line 62 is wound around the spool 15 with the grip portion 12D being gripped by the operator's right hand, the grip portion 12D is wound around the handle shaft 12A in the direction of winding the fishing line (lever drag reel 1). As the handle portion 12D rotates about the handle knob shaft 12C, the fishing line 62 can be continuously wound around the spool 15.

  In order to prevent the handle 12 from rotating in the direction in which the fishing line 62 is wound around the spool 15 (referred to as forward rotation indicated by the arrow Y in FIGS. 3 and 4) but not in the reverse direction, the second side plate cover In 11E (specifically, in the second side plate outer cover 11E2), a one-way clutch 21 is provided between the bearings 18A and 18B. The one-way clutch 21 has a well-known configuration, and the handle shaft 12A is allowed only in the forward rotation direction by the action of a roller interposed between the outer housing on the second side plate cover 11E side and the inner housing on the handle shaft 12A side. This is a well-known mechanism. For this reason, the handle shaft 12A rotates in the forward direction by the forward rotation of the handle 12, and the spool 15 rotates in the direction of winding the fishing line 62 through the drag mechanism 13 described later. On the other hand, when the spool 15 rotates in the feeding direction by rotating the fishing line 62 (rotation in the direction opposite to the direction in which the fishing line 62 is wound), the rotation is transferred to the handle shaft 12A via the drag mechanism 13 and the main gear 22 which will be described later. Although transmitted, the handle shaft 12A does not rotate by the action of the one-way clutch 21, and therefore the handle 12 operates so as not to rotate in the reverse direction (rotation in the direction opposite to the Y direction in which the fishing line 62 is wound).

  In order to transmit the forward rotation of the handle 12 to the spool 15, a metal pinion gear 23 is provided so as to mesh with the main gear 22 fixed to the left end portion of the handle shaft 12A. The bearing 24 is a well-known ball bearing type bearing, and an outer ring thereof is mounted in a recess in the second side plate cover 11E, and an inner ring is mounted on an outer end portion of the outer periphery of the pinion gear 23. 23 is rotatably supported in the second side plate cover 11E, and the pinion gear 23 is attached to the spool shaft 16 so as to be rotatable and the spool shaft 16 is movable in the axial direction. In this state, the spool shaft 16 is allowed to move in the axial direction, but the pinion gear 23 rotates as the main gear 22 rotates. Further, an inner peripheral portion of a mounting plate 13B1 integrated with a second friction plate 13B of a drag mechanism 13 described later is fitted to an inner end portion of the pinion gear 23, and the pinion gear 23 and the second friction plate 13B are integrated. Has been.

  When the fishing line 62 is wound around the spool 15 that is rotatably mounted on the spool shaft 16 that does not rotate, the drag mechanism 13 adjusts the strength of the rotation transmission force for transmitting the rotation of the handle that performs the winding operation to the spool 15. At the same time, a braking force is applied to the rotation of the spool 15 in the fishing line feed-out direction, and this braking force is adjusted and changed.

  For this reason, the drag mechanism 13 includes a metal drag lever 14 that adjusts the strength of the drag force by a swinging operation, and a handle side (in the drawing, in the tip direction) that is one side of the spool 15 so as to rotate together with the spool 15. A disc-shaped first friction plate 13A fixed to the side surface of the circular flange portion 15C on the right side), and a disc that faces the first friction plate 13A so as to come into contact with the first friction plate 13A and rotates as the handle 12 rotates. A first urging force comprising four disc springs for urging the spool 15 toward the axial direction of the spool shaft 16 (the right side in the figure, which is the handle side) with respect to the spool shaft 16. A coil spring that urges the spool 15 in the axial direction of the spool shaft 16 (on the left side in the drawing on the side opposite to the handle) so that the first friction plate 13A is separated from the second friction plate 13B in the drag-free state. The second biasing member 28, the cam mechanism 30 for controlling the axial movement of the spool shaft 16 by the swinging movement of the drag lever 14, and the drag force strength adjustment range by the swinging of the drag lever 14 in advance. And a drag adjusting device 50 (referred to as preset) for setting the range. As a result, the strength of the frictional engagement force (drag force) between the first friction plate 13A and the second friction plate 13B is adjusted by the swinging operation of the drag lever 14, and the braking force applied to the rotation of the spool 15 in the fishing line feeding direction is adjusted. Adjusted.

  The urging force (spring force) of the first urging member 27 is set larger than the urging force (spring force) of the second urging member 28. Further, the first urging member 27 and the second urging member 28 prevent rattling during the free rotation of the spool 15.

  The second friction plate 13B rotates with respect to the spool shaft 16 as the pinion gear 23 rotates. However, the second friction plate 13B is immovable and rotatable so as not to move even if the spool shaft 16 moves in the axial direction. For this reason, the second friction plate 13B is supported by the spool shaft 16 via the bearing 25 so as to be freely rotatable, and is supported by the spool shaft 16 so as to be movable. The bearing 25 is a well-known ball bearing type, and an outer ring thereof is mounted in a concave portion of the second friction plate 13B, and an inner ring is loosely fitted on the spool shaft 16. As a result, the second friction plate 13B is rotatable together with the pinion gear 23 with respect to the spool shaft 16, and the spool shaft 16 is movable in the axial direction thereof.

  The bulging portion 11E1B formed to bulge coaxially with the spool shaft 16 on the outer surface portion of the second side plate cover 11E (specifically, the outer surface portion of the second side plate inner cover 11E1) is more than the pinion gear 23 of the spool shaft 16. The bearing is formed so as to bulge in two stages surrounding the portion extending to the handle 12 side, and the spool shaft 16 extends through the second stage of the two stages so as to be movable in the axial direction. It is supported by the part 11D3.

  The drag lever 14 is swingably supported (also referred to as “rotatable”) by a bulging portion 11E1B of the outer surface portion of the second side plate cover 11E (specifically, the outer surface portion of the second side plate inner cover 11E1). Specifically, a cylindrical support portion 14A formed at the base of the drag lever 14 is combined with the first cylindrical outer surface of the bulging portion 11E1B so as to be swingable (also referred to as pivotable), and the support portion 14A. An annular locking portion 14B formed on a part of the inner circumference of the bulge portion is retained by a retaining member 141 of a C-shaped ring or E-shaped ring attached to the second outer circumferential surface of the bulging portion 11E1B. . In this state, the drag lever 14 is held swingably (also referred to as pivotable) about the spool shaft 16 with respect to the second side plate inner cover 11E1. The range of swing (also referred to as rotation) of the drag lever 14 is approximately 130 degrees.

  The cam mechanism 30 includes a first cam 31 on the drag lever 14 side and a second cam 32 on the reel body 11 side that meshes with the first cam 31. The first cam 31 is an inclined cam that is disposed along the outer surface of the annular locking portion 141 and is attached to the inside of the cylindrical support portion 14A in a non-rotating state so as to surround the cylindrical bulging portion 11E1B. is there. The first cam 31 forms an arcuate cam surface 31A that is gradually inclined higher toward the handle 12 side, as called an inclined cam. The first cam 31 has a circular ring as shown in FIG. 9, and the cam surface 31A is centered on the axis 16S of the spool 15 for ease of manufacture, ease of attachment, and stabilization of the drag operation. The symmetrical cam surface 31A is formed at a symmetrical position in the radial direction, and the symmetrical cam surface 31A is gradually inclined in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the handle 12 side (approaching toward the handle 12 side). The shape is higher. As a result, the first cam 31 swings (rotates) with the drag lever 14 about the spool shaft 16. The first cam 31 may be integrally formed with the support portion 14A inside the support portion 14A.

  The second cam 32 is a reel main body side cam arranged to face the first cam 31, and includes a cam portion 32 </ b> A that slides on the cam surface 31 </ b> A of the first cam 31. The second stage outer periphery of the bulging part 11E1B is provided with a polygonal part 11E1B6 such as a hexagon shown in the drawing, and the second cam 32 is fitted to the polygonal part 11E1B6 as shown in FIG. An annular cam body 32B formed with a surface 32B1 and a circular outer peripheral surface along the circular inner peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the support portion 14A of the drag lever 14, and a radius around the spool shaft 16 of the cam body 32B And a cam portion 32A in the form of a rod-like protruding cam attached so as to protrude outward at a 180 ° symmetrical position in the direction.

  As the cam mechanism 30, a technique in which one of the first cam 31 and the second cam 32 is in the form of an inclined cam and the other is in the form of a protruding cam is known from, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-155442. This basic technology alone is not a new technology, but a configuration for achieving a stable operation has been newly obtained by the present invention.

  As a result, the second cam 32 is in a state in which the second cam 32 cannot rotate on the polygonal portion 11E1B6 of the bulging portion 11E1B and is movable in the axial direction of the spool shaft 16, and the drag lever 14 moves in the axial direction of the spool shaft 16. It is in an impossible state and can swing (turn) with respect to the second cam 32.

  A specific configuration of the cam surface of the first cam 31 is shown in FIGS. 9A is a side view of the first cam 31, FIG. 9B is a plan view of the first cam 31, and FIG. 9C is a development view of the cam surface 31 </ b> A of the first cam 31. . In these drawings, a cam surface 31A having the same shape is formed in a range of P and Q which are 180 degrees symmetrical positions in the radial direction around the axis 16S of the spool shaft 16. The range of A is a flat cam surface, the range of B is a first inclined cam surface having a tight inclination, the range of C is a second inclined cam surface having a gentle inclination, and the range of D is a third inclined cam surface having a more gentle inclination. It is an inclined cam surface. As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the cam portion of the second cam 32 has a cam portion 32A in the form of a protruding cam provided at a 180-degree symmetrical position of the second cam 32 in the range of P and Q. It slides on the cam surface 31A.

  By manually operating the drag lever 14, the strength of the frictional engagement force (drag force) of the drag mechanism 13 is adjusted. In this case, the drag force strength adjustment range is initially set by the drag adjusting device 50. The drag adjusting device 50 includes a distal end portion of the spool shaft 16 that extends toward the handle 12 side from the polygonal portion 11EB6 at the distal end of the bulging portion 11E1B that supports the drag lever 14 so as to be swingable (also referred to as pivotable). And a drag adjusting member 51 which has a bottomed cylindrical shape formed inside with a female screw 51A screwed into the male screw 16A and is in contact with the second cam 32 so as to be relatively rotatable. .

  The second biasing member 28 is compressed by rotating the drag adjusting member 51 clockwise as viewed from the handle 12 side, and the screwing length of the female screw 51A and the male screw 16A is increased, and the spool shaft 16 Is slightly moved to the handle 12 side (right side in FIG. 7) together with the spool 15, and the drag force is set to a strong setting state in which the drag force is slightly increased. Further, when the drag adjusting member 51 is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the handle 12 side, the compression of the second urging member 28 is weakened, and the screwing length of the female screw 51A and the male screw 16A is shortened. The spool shaft 16 moves slightly along the spool 15 in the direction away from the handle 12 side (left side in FIG. 7), and the drag force is set weakly so that the drag force is slightly weakened. In this way, the drag adjusting device 50 performs the initial setting of the drag force strength adjustment range.

  When one adjustment range is set by the drag adjusting device 50, the upper half of the axis 16S of the spool shaft 16 in FIG. 7 is in a state where the contact force between the first friction plate 13A and the second friction plate 13B is strong, that is, a drag mechanism. 13 shows a strong drag state in which the lower half of the axis 16S of the spool shaft 16 in FIG. 7 is in a state in which the first friction plate 13A and the second friction plate 13B are separated, that is, the drag force by the drag mechanism 13 is zero. This indicates a free state.

  Since the drag force is adjusted by adjusting the strength of the contact force between the first friction plate 13A and the second friction plate 13B, the first friction plate 13A has a heat resistance and resistance to resistance in order to stabilize this operation. It is a donut-shaped disc having slightly elasticity and made of cork, synthetic resin or the like having abrasion. The second friction plate 13B has a disk shape made of metal such as stainless steel.

  A case where the drag force is adjusted by swinging the drag lever 14 will be described. In order to set the drag lever 14 in the drag-free state, the drag lever 14 is swung (rotated) to the full extent (to the start position) in the R direction (front side, counterclockwise) in FIG. As a result, the cam portions 32A provided at the 180-degree symmetric position of the second cam 32 are in the ranges of A provided at the 180-degree symmetric position of the cam surface 31A of the first cam 31 (the swing of the drag lever 14). The (rotation) angle is in a range of 10 degrees), and the biasing force of the second biasing member 28 causes the spool shaft 16 to move to the left in FIG. 13A moves to the left in FIG. 7, and the first friction plate 13A is separated from the second friction plate 13B. This is a state in which no drag force is applied to the action of pulling the fishing line 62 in the tip direction. That is, the drag force by the drag mechanism 13 is not applied to the rotation of the spool 15 in the fishing line feed-out direction, and the spool 15 is in a free rotation state, so that the casting can be performed.

  Each cam provided at the 180 degree symmetrical position of the second cam 32 by the relative movement generated by swinging (turning) the drag lever 14 in the F direction (forward, clockwise) in FIG. The part 32A moves from the range A of the cam surface 31A of the first cam 31 to the range B of the cam surface 31A, and each B range provided at a 180 ° symmetrical position (swing (rotation of the drag lever 14) ) When the cam portion 32A of the second cam 32 climbs the cam surface within an angle range of 20 degrees), the second cam 32 moves to the right in FIG. 7, and the drag adjusting member 51 is moved in accordance with FIG. In order to move in the right direction, the drag adjusting member 51 moves the spool shaft 16 while being pulled toward the handle 12 side (right side in FIG. 7) against the urging force of the second urging member 28. Through the first biasing member 27 Te moving in the same direction. Therefore, each cam portion 32A comes into a state where the first friction plate 13A comes into contact with the second friction plate 13B from a substantially intermediate position in the range B of the cam surface 31A, and drag force starts to be applied, and the rotation of the handle 12 As a result, the spool 15 can rotate the fishing line 62 in the winding direction.

  Each of the cams provided at the 180-degree symmetrical position of the second cam 32 by further swinging (turning) the drag lever 14 in the F direction (forward, clockwise) in FIG. The portion 32A shifts to the range C of the cam surface 31A of the first cam 31, and each C range provided at a 180-degree symmetrical position (the range in which the swing (rotation) angle of the drag lever 14 is 70 degrees). As the cam portion 32A of the second cam 32 climbs on the cam surface, the second cam 32 moves to the right in FIG. 7 and the drag adjusting member 51 moves to the right in FIG. Then, the drag adjusting member 51 causes the spool shaft 16 and the spool 15 to be attracted and moved toward the handle 12 (right side in FIG. 7), so that the contact force with which the first friction plate 13A contacts the second friction plate 13B gradually increases. . That is, the drag force gradually increases.

  The reason why the inclination of the cam surface in the range of B is made stronger than the inclination of the cam surface in the range of C is to enable a quick transition from the drag-free state in the range of A to the drag action start state. The drag action starts from the intermediate position of the cam surface slope in the range B, and thereafter the drag force gradually increases along the cam face slope in the range C.

  When the drag lever 14 is swung (turned) in the direction F (forward, clockwise) in FIG. 8 beyond the range of C, the cam portion 32A of the second cam 32 moves to the cam surface 31A of the first cam 31. When the cam portion 32A of the second cam 32 climbs from the range C to the range D, the cam surface 32A of the second cam 32 climbs the cam surface in the range D (the range in which the swing (rotation) angle of the drag lever 14 is 30 degrees). 7, the cam 32 moves to the right in FIG. 7 and the drag adjusting member 51 moves to the right in FIG. 7, so that the spool shaft 16 and the spool 15 are moved to the handle 12 side by the drag adjusting member 51 in the same manner as described above. The contact force of the first friction plate 13A contacting the second friction plate 13B is further increased by being drawn and moved to the right side in FIG. The last part of the range of D is the end point of the swinging (turning) operation of the drag lever 14, and at this time, the drag force becomes maximum.

  Further, by swinging (turning) the drag lever 14 in the R direction (front side, counterclockwise) in FIG. 8, the cam portion 32A of the second cam 32 is in the range D of the first cam 31, C As the range B and the range B are sequentially passed, the first friction plate 13A moves to the left in FIG. 7 and the drag force gradually decreases.

  As described above, the strength of the drag force can be adjusted by swinging (turning) the drag lever 14 in the F direction (forward, clockwise) and R direction (front side, counterclockwise). The actual fishing effect can be obtained by appropriately operating the handle 12 and the drag lever 14 inside.

  When the respective cam portions 32A provided at the 180 degree symmetrical positions of the second cam 32 are located within the respective ranges A provided at the 180 degree symmetrical positions of the first cam 31, as described above, Since the friction plate 13A moves to the left in FIG. 7 and the first friction plate 13A is separated from the second friction plate 13B, no drag force is applied to the action of pulling the fishing line 62 in the tip direction. Zero state.

  As apparent from the above description, in the state where the cam portion 32A of the second cam 32 is located in the range of A of the first cam 31, the spool 15 is connected to the drag mechanism 13 and includes a handle attachment portion 12T. Since the connection with the 12 side is also disconnected, there is almost no resistance to rotation of the spool 15 in the fishing line feeding direction. In this state, casting is performed, that is, after the fishing line 62 using a weight type luer called a jig is hung from the fishing rod 60 almost directly below, for example, to a depth of 50 m or more in the sea, the drag lever 14 Is swayed (turned) in the direction F (forward, clockwise) in FIG. 8, the drag mechanism 13 is actuated and dragging is applied as described above. For this reason, the fishing line can be appropriately adjusted by swinging (turning) the drag lever 14 in the F direction (forward, clockwise) and the R direction (front side, counterclockwise) and rotating the handle 12. The actual fishing operation can be performed in a state in which 62 is extended to a desired state.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the lever drag type reel 1 is mounted by attaching a metal mounting leg 2 provided on the lower side thereof to a mounting portion 61 formed on the upper side of a fishing rod 60. The fishing rod 60 is supported from below by the middle finger or ring finger of the left hand LH of the operator along the left side of the lever drag type reel 1 and the lever drag type reel 1 is gripped by the left hand LH, and the thumb of the left hand LH The drag lever 14 can be operated by LH1, and the handle 12 can be operated by the operator's right hand RH. Further, the thumb LH1 of the left hand LH can be operated to guide the fishing line 62 so that the fishing line 62 is wound around the spool 15 in a substantially uniform state while being separated from the drag lever 14.

  The present invention is characterized by the handle 12. That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, 7, and 11 to 13, the handle knob (grip portion) 12 </ b> D has an intermediate portion between both ends at the tip of the handle knob support shaft portion 12 </ b> E. The handle knob support shaft portion 12E is sandwiched between the thumb RH1 and the index finger RH2 of the right hand RH that holds the handle knob (grip portion) 12D. The handle knob support shaft portion 12E has a size and a length that can be extended, and is extended outward from the arcuate portion of the tip 12B1 of the handle arm 12B during rotation of fishing line winding. An annular finger movement blocking portion 12H that expands to a size to be projected is formed. The relationship between the tip 12B1 of the handle arm 12B and the finger movement blocking portion 12H is, as is apparent from FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5, the projection range of the finger movement blocking portion 12H in the direction of the axis 12ES of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E. Of the handle arm 12B so that the arcuate tip 12B1 of the handle arm 12B can enter (when viewed in the direction of the axis 12ES, the tip 12B1 enters the region of the finger movement blocking portion 12H). The radius of the finger movement prevention unit 12H is larger than the radius. Furthermore, the handle 12 has a handle knob (grip part) 12D on the edge on the rear side in the fishing line winding rotation direction among the edges of the surface of the handle arm 12B on the side to which the handle knob support shaft 12E is attached. A finger receiving portion 12K having an inclined surface 12J that inclines in a direction away from the bulge is formed.

  Further, the outer shape of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E has a circular cross section, and the finger movement blocking portion 12H projects to the outside by 1 mm or more beyond the distal end portion 12B1 of the handle arm 12B to which the handle knob support shaft portion 12E is attached. It is formed in a circular shape with an outer diameter. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the finger receiving portion 12K has one end of the finger receiving portion 12K on the projection range of the finger movement blocking portion 12H with respect to the handle arm 12B in the direction of the axis 12ES of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E. In the state, it is formed at a position close to the direction of the handle shaft 12A.

  Further, the outer shape of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E has a circular or oval cross section, and the finger movement prevention portion 12H is a portion sandwiched between the thumb and index finger of the hand holding the handle knob (grip portion) 12D. It is shaped to gradually expand to 1.3 to 2.5 times the outer diameter of 12E0, and the finger receiving portion 12K is formed so as to continuously bulge out from the edge of the handle arm, and the entire arc shape is inclined. It is bent so as to form an inclined surface 12J having an angle of 30 degrees to 45 degrees.

  The present invention is described in further detail below. The axis 12AS of the handle shaft 12A and the axis 12ES of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E are parallel to the axis 16S of the spool shaft 16, and the axis 12BS of the handle arm 12B is perpendicular to the axis 12AS of the handle shaft 12A. A handle knob support shaft portion 12E is attached to an end portion of the handle arm 12B on an axis 12ES perpendicular to the axis 12BS of the handle arm 12B, and a handle knob (grip portion) 12D rotates at the base of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E. It is installed freely. The handle knob (grip part) 12D to be held by the palm of the hand comprises a rod-like body whose outer cross-sectional shape has a circular shape, an elliptical shape such as an oval shape or an oval shape, or a similar shape. The intermediate portion between both ends of the rod-like body in the longitudinal direction is coupled to the base portion of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E so as to be rotatable while maintaining a crossing state with the handle knob support shaft portion 12E.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the handle knob (grip part) 12D has a rod-like body as a whole, and the rod-like body has a lower half portion 12D3 having a circular outer shape around the axis 12DS and an axis 12DS as a central axis. In order to form a flat mounting surface 12D5 of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E, an upper half portion 12D4 having a circular outer shape that gradually decreases in diameter from the lower half portion 12D3. A flat attachment surface 12D5 perpendicular to the axis 12ES of the support shaft portion 12E is formed on the upper half portion 12D4. In order to make the handle knob (grip part) 12D suitable for the fishing line winding and rotation operation with the handle knob (grip part) 12D being held by the palm of the hand, the handle knob (grip part) 12D has a mounting surface 12D5 with a handle knob support shaft part 12E. It is attached in a state of intersecting at right angles to the axis 12ES. In this attached state, the handle knob (grip part) 12D is in a state in which the lower half part 12D3 is always located on the lower side due to the weight of the lower half part 12D3, so that the handle 12 is in any position of 360 degrees. It becomes easy to hold the handle knob (grip part) 12D with the palm. In the state where the lower half portion 12D3 is positioned on the lower side, the axis 12DS of the handle knob (grip portion) 12D is parallel to the mounting surface 12D5 so that the half portion 12D3 moves away from the handle arm 12B as shown in FIG. The angle θ1 formed with the axis 12DT (axis 12DT perpendicular to the axis 12ES) is 10 degrees to 15 degrees.

  As one preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower half portion 12D3 has a diameter of 30 mm, and the outer shape tangent angle is gradually reduced so as to form an angle of 5 degrees. It has an upper half 12D4 that forms an outer shape, θ1 is 12 degrees, and a handle knob (grip part) 12D is coupled to a handle knob support shaft part 12E. This makes it suitable for the fishing line winding rotation operation in a state where the handle knob (grip part) 12D is gripped by the palm.

  The finger movement blocking portion 12H has a handle knob support in which the outer diameter of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E is sandwiched between the thumb RH1 and the index finger RH2 of the hand RH that holds the handle knob (grip portion) toward the handle arm 12B. The shape gradually expands to 1.3 to 2.5 times the outer diameter of the portion 12E0 of the shaft portion 12E. The finger receiving portion 12K swells in an arc shape continuously from the end edge of the handle arm 12B toward the reel body 11, and the entire arc shape forms an inclined surface 12J. The inclined surface 12J may be a flat surface, or may be a curved surface processed into a slight concave shape or convex shape.

  As an embodiment for achieving the present invention, the outer shape of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E is a columnar outer shape having a circular cross section, and the cylindrical portion 12D1 forming the outer shape of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E is formed of a handle knob ( Grip part) 12D has a diameter t3 of the base portion of 17 mm to 25 mm, a length t0 to the tip of 25 mm to 35 mm, and is attached to thumb RH1 and index finger RH2 of hand RH holding handle knob (grip part) 12D. The diameter t1 of the sandwiched portion is 10 mm to 15 mm, from which the outer diameter of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E gradually expands with a straight line or a curve, and a cross section perpendicular to the axis 12ES has a circular outer shape. The finger movement blocking part 12H is formed, and the finger movement blocking part 12H has a diameter t2 in a range of 18 mm to 25 mm. In this case, the finger movement blocking portion 12H has a circular shape with an outer diameter that projects 1 mm or more outward from the distal end portion 12B1 of the handle arm 12B to which the handle knob support shaft portion 12E is attached in the direction of the axis 12ES. It is formed. As a result, the handle knob (grip part) 12D is gripped with the right hand RH, and the handle RH1 and the index finger RH2 of the hand RH that grips the handle knob support shaft part 12E. As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the thumb RH1 and the index finger RH2 are prevented from moving to the distal end portion 12B1 of the handle arm 12B by the finger movement blocking portion 12H.

  As one preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the handle knob support shaft portion 12E has a length t0 from the base portion of the handle knob (grip portion) 12D to the tip of 30 mm, and the handle knob (grip portion). The diameter t3 of the 12D base portion is 18 mm, and the range from the base portion to the diameter t1 of the portion sandwiched between the thumb RH1 and the index finger RH2 is 12 mm and gradually decreases. This reduced diameter portion forms a portion 12E0 sandwiched between the thumb RH1 and the index finger RH2 of the hand RH that grips the handle knob (grip portion) 12D. The finger movement blocking portion 12H is formed by gradually increasing the diameter t2 from the portion of 12E0 reduced to 12 mm to a diameter t2 of 20 mm (radius 10 mm) with a curved surface. The distal end portion 12B1 of the handle arm 12B is formed in an arc shape having a radius of 7.3 mm, and the finger movement prevention portion 12H is located 2 outside the distal end portion 12B1 of the handle arm 12B to which the handle knob support shaft portion 12E is attached. .7mm overhang. The finger movement prevention unit 12H is gradually reduced in diameter toward the handle arm 12B side so as to obtain a buffering effect when the finger gets over the finger movement prevention unit 12H.

  By forming the reduced diameter portion 12E0 as described above, the handle knob (grip portion) 12D is gripped with the right hand, and is preferably sandwiched between the thumb of the gripping hand and the index finger. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, it is effective that the index finger can easily hold the handle knob support shaft portion 12E and the finger movement prevention portion 12H enlarged to 20 mm protrudes toward the handle arm 12B side as shown in FIGS. There is an effect that can be prevented.

  FIG. 5 shows the surface of the handle arm 12B on the handle knob 12D side. As a preferred embodiment of the finger receiving portion 12K, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the finger receiving portion 12K continuously bulges out in an arc shape from the rear edge of the handle arm 12B. The surface on the 12D side forms an inclined surface 12J. Further, the finger receiving portion 12K has one end 12K1 (the left end portion in FIG. 5) of the finger receiving portion 12K in the projection range of the finger movement blocking portion 12H with respect to the handle arm 12B in the direction of the axis 12ES of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E. In this state, it is formed at a position extending from the position in the direction of the handle shaft 12A (that is, a position close to the axis 12AS direction of the handle shaft 12A). In order to improve the finger receiving by the finger receiving portion 12K, the arc-shaped one end 12K1 of the finger receiving portion 12K is an arc of the tip 12B1 of the handle arm 12B (R7.3 indicating an arc having a radius of 7.3 mm in FIG. 5). The finger receiving portion 12K is continuously formed on the arc of the tip 12B1 of the handle arm 12B by the portion indicated by R15 indicating an arc having a radius of 15 mm in FIG. 5 so that the indicated portion) is continuous without a step. .

  In the above configuration, the handle knob (grip portion) 12D is preferably held by the right hand, and sandwiched between the thumb and index finger of the gripping hand, and the index finger RH2 gets over the finger movement prevention portion 12H. Since the index finger RH2 is received by the inclined surface of the finger receiving part 12K, the index finger RH2 can be prevented from being injured at the end of the handle arm 12B. Since the finger receiving portion 12K is an inclined surface, a buffering effect on the index finger RH2 to be received can be obtained.

  As described above, the size of the handle knob support shaft portion is limited when the outer diameter (diameter) of the handle knob support shaft portion is smaller than 10 mm, the handle knob shaft 12C accommodated in the handle knob support shaft portion 12E. Becomes too small, the strength becomes weak, and it becomes difficult to accommodate the bearings 20A and 20B. In addition, when the outer diameter (diameter) of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E is larger than 15 mm, it is difficult to sandwich the handle knob 12D between the thumb RH1 and the index finger RH2 of the hand RH, and the operability of the handle 12 is deteriorated. The outer diameter of the finger movement blocking portion 12H is 1.3 to 2.5 times the outer diameter of the portion 12E0 sandwiched between the thumb RH1 and the index finger RH2 of the handle knob support shaft portion 12E. The effect of making it difficult for the thumb RH1 and the index finger RH2 of the gripping hand RH to move toward the handle arm 12B side can be sufficiently exerted. Even if the outer diameter of the finger movement blocking portion 12H is made too large, it is not possible to expect a significant improvement in the effect of making it difficult for the thumb RH1 and the index finger RH2 thumb to move toward the handle arm 12B side. This is because the aesthetic appearance is inferior.

  In addition, in order to improve the operability of the drag lever 14 by the thumb LH1 of the left hand LH of the operator, the arc-shaped upper surface of the second side plate 11B covering the right flange portion 15C of the spool 15 is provided on the upper surface. An arcuate groove portion 70 is formed that fits in a swingable manner so that the upper end portion of the drag lever 14 is covered. As a specific configuration, in order for the thumb LH1 of the left hand LH of the operator to easily operate the upper end portion of the drag lever 14, the operation portion 14D of the upper end portion of the drag lever 14 is formed so as to form a part of the drag lever 14. A synthetic resin thumb touch member 14 </ b> D is attached, and a protrusion 14 </ b> D <b> 1 projecting downward from the operation portion 14 </ b> D is movably fitted along the arcuate groove 70. As a result, the protrusion 14A1 moves along the arcuate groove 70, so that the drag lever 14 can be stably swung back and forth.

  Further, in order to make the operator recognize the rotation position of the drag adjusting member 51 arranged on the right side of the lever drag type reel 1 by sound and to enable the drag adjusting member 51 to be rotated stepwise, As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 7, a sounding device 95 is provided. In the sound generating device 95, spherical recesses 96 are formed in a circular shape at equal intervals on the outer surface of the cam body 32B facing the drag adjusting member 51, and the tip spherical shape is formed from the drag adjusting member 51 toward the recess 96. The advancing body 97 is biased by a spring 98 so that the portion protrudes. The advancement body 97 may be a spherical body as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. In order to make the operator recognize the rotation position of the drag lever 14 with sound and to enable the rotation of the drag lever 14 in a stepwise manner, the drag lever 14 has the same configuration as that of the sound generation device 95. A sounding device 65 is provided in the operating portion 14D of the first embodiment. The sounding device 65 is provided in a stepwise manner, and the sounding device 65 fits stepwise into a recess 70D formed on the bottom surface of the arc-shaped groove 70 as the drag lever 14 rotates. Provided.

  As a result, the advancement body 97 sequentially enters and exits the depression 96 as the drag adjustment member 51 rotates, so that the sound is generated each time, and the operator makes a sound as to the rotation position of the drag adjustment member 51. Can be recognized. Further, every time the advancing body 97 enters the depression 96, the rotation of the drag adjusting member 51 receives resistance intermittently, and the rotation of the drag adjusting member 51 becomes a stepwise operation. Can be stably operated.

  A brake device 75 is provided on the left side of the lever drag type reel 1 to brake the rotation of the spool 15 as the fishing line 62 is fed out. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the left side surface of the first side plate cover 11 </ b> D in which the brake device 75 is accommodated in the first side plate 11 </ b> A and the operation unit 76 of the brake device 75 is a part of the first side plate 11 </ b> A. It is arranged exposed in the upper front. The brake device 75 is actuated against the coil spring 78 by an actuating body 77 urged by a coil spring 78 in a direction away from the left side surface of the spool 15 and a shaft support 76A rotatably in the first side plate 11A. An operation portion 76 that presses the body 77 against the outer surface of the flange portion 15B of the spool 15 is provided.

  Usually, the operating body 77 is separated from the side surface of the spool 15 by the bias of the coil spring 78. At the same time, a part of the operation portion 76 is exposed to the outside of the first side plate cover 11D by the operating body 77 biased outward by the coil spring 78. As casting performed at the beginning of actual fishing, when the fishing line 62 using a lug of a weight type called a jig is hung from the fishing rod 60 almost directly below, or when the fishing line 62 is pulled by a fish caught during actual fishing, When the spool 15 rotates as it is extended, in order to brake the rotation, the operating portion 76 is pressed with the thumb LH1 or the index finger LH2 of the left hand LH of the operator, whereby the tip of the operating body 77 is moved to the spool 15. A brake is applied to the rotation of the spool 15 depending on the degree of pressure contact with the left side surface.

  In the event of an abnormality such as when the fishhook is caught by a foreign object such as a rock during actual fishing, the fishing rod 60 is removed by a strong pulling operation or the fishing line 62 is cut. For this purpose, a stop device 85 that stops the rotation of the spool 15 in the feeding direction of the fishing line 62 is accommodated in the first side plate 11A on the left side of the lever drag type reel 1, as shown in FIG.

  The stop device 85 includes a lock member 87 that engages and disengages a tooth of a ratchet wheel (pawl wheel) 86 attached to the left side surface of the spool 15, and a lock operation unit 88 that operates the lock member 87. In normal times, the lock member 87 is not engaged with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 86, and the lock operation portion 88 is biased so that it is exposed to the lower portion of the first side plate 11A. When the abnormality occurs, the lock operation unit 88 is rotated so that the lock member 87 is engaged with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 86 and the rotation of the spool 15 is stopped.

  The lever drag type reel 1 prevents the fishing line 62 from entering the gap between the left flange portion 15B of the spool 15 and the first side plate 11A and the gap between the right flange portion 15C of the spool 15 and the second side plate 11B. In order to guide the fishing line 62 to the spool 15, a fishing line guide 90 is provided on the front side of the spool 15 so as to be separated from the spool 15 as shown in FIG. The fishing line guide 90 has a base 90A attached to the first side plate 11A and the second side plate 11B at positions outside the left flange portion 15B and the right flange portion 15C of the spool 15, and a curved fishing line guide between the base portions 90A. The portion 90B is formed of a linear body integrally formed on the left and right. In order to stably hold the fishing line guide 90, the connecting portions of the left and right fishing line guide portions 90B are fitted in the grooves of the connecting portion 11C with the upper portions exposed.
