Description

  The present invention relates to a dual-bearing reel mainly used for boat fishing, some carp fishing, lure fishing centering on black bass, etc., and a drag mechanism that generates a braking force at the time of fishing, and a brake when the spool rotates freely. The present invention relates to a dual-bearing reel provided with a brake mechanism that generates

  The dual-bearing reel is a fishing reel called alias bait reel or bait casting reel, and has a feature that the winding force of the line (thread) is strong. Further, since the line is pulled out while rotating the spool, backlash due to excessive rotation of the spool is likely to occur during casting. For this reason, when casting the dual-bearing reel, a technique such as using a brake provided on the spool or summing (manipulating the feeding of the line with the thumb) is required.

  In a conventional dual-bearing reel, a dual-bearing reel is provided in which a brake mechanism that generates a brake during free rotation of the spool is replaced with a drag mechanism. Since a drag mechanism that generates a braking force at the time of fishing is permanently installed in the dual-bearing reel, this drag mechanism is used as a brake mechanism instead.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 1 proposes a dual-bearing reel provided with a brake mechanism that generates a brake when the spool is freely rotated, in addition to the drag mechanism. In this brake mechanism, the brake adjustment knob is fitted to the tip of the spool shaft, and the brake adjustment knob is tightened from the outside of the housing, so that the brake adjustment knob is brought into pressure contact with the tip of the spool shaft and the brake force is applied to the rotation of the spool. It is the structure which acts. In particular, a coil spring having a different winding diameter is interposed between the brake adjustment knob and the spool shaft so that the amount of contact with the spool shaft can be increased or decreased to widen the adjustment range.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-174540

  The conventional double-bearing reel in which the brake mechanism is substituted for the drag mechanism and the conventional double-bearing reel having an independent brake mechanism as disclosed in Patent Document 1 each have a complicated series of operations from line entry to spool winding. There was an inconvenience.

  That is, in the double-bearing reel in which the brake mechanism is substituted for the drag mechanism, it is necessary to return the lever of the drag mechanism to the OFF position every time the line is inserted. Further, according to the independent brake mechanism, after the brake adjustment knob is tightened and the line is inserted, the brake mechanism is in operation when the spool is wound up. Therefore, after turning on the line, it is necessary to loosen the brake adjustment knob.

  As described above, since the conventional dual-bearing reel requires the operation of the drag mechanism and the brake mechanism from the start of the line to the winding up, the series of operations has been extremely complicated.

  On the other hand, skilled techniques are necessary to perform reliable brake operation suitable for the situation by adjusting the rotation of the spool by summing instead of the brake mechanism to avoid backlash. Therefore, it is difficult for beginners and inexperienced persons to perform effective summing.

  Therefore, the present invention was created to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can greatly simplify the operation from line insertion to spool hoisting, and can be performed even by a beginner, like a skilled summing. An object of the present invention is to provide a double-bearing type reel that enables reliable brake operation suitable for the situation.

  In order to achieve the above object, the first means in the present invention includes a spool shaft 4 that rotatably supports the spool 3 between the left and right covers 1 and 2, and a drive mechanism 10 that rotates the spool 3 with a handle 5. And a clutch mechanism 20 that switches the rotation of the spool 3 to 0 N / OFF, a drag mechanism 30 that generates a braking force on the spool 3 during fishing, and a brake mechanism 40 that generates a brake when the spool 3 rotates freely. In the bearing reel, an operation lever 6 for simultaneously operating 0N / OFF switching of the brake mechanism 40 and switching of the clutch mechanism 20 is provided, and the operation lever 6 is bent and extended onto the line L of the spool 3. When the brake mechanism 40 is operated by swinging the operation lever 6, the clutch mechanism 20 is disconnected and the brake mechanism 40 is released. Then, the clutch mechanism 20 is configured to be connected.

  In the second means, the brake mechanism 40 includes a camshaft 41 that is pressed and urged in the direction of the spool 3 from either one of the left and right covers 1 and 2 in conjunction with the swing operation of the operation lever 6. A leaf spring 43 pressed against the camshaft 41, a brake pad 44 attached to the leaf spring 43 to press the side surface of the spool 3, and the operation lever 6 from the brake 0N position to the brake OFF position. And a return spring 46 that is always urged in the direction to return to the position of the clutch, and the clutch mechanism 20 is disengaged when the brake is set to 0 N by the swinging operation of the operation lever 6, and when the hand is released from the operation lever 6, the return spring In 46, the operation lever 6 is returned to the brake OFF position, and the brake OFF position is set to the connection position of the clutch mechanism 20. Made.

  The third means is that in the brake mechanism 40, the taper cam nut 42 is pressed and urged in the direction of the spool 3 through the hollow shaft of the cam shaft 41 from the outside of one of the left and right covers 1 and 2. The brake device 50 is provided, and the pressure contact force of the brake pad 44 is adjusted by the brake device 50.

  In the fourth means, the clutch mechanism 20 moves the spool clutch 21 to the position where the spool 3 is intermittently connected to the spool clutch 21 which is connected to the spool 3 in an interlocked manner with the operation lever 6. A clutch yoke 22 and a link device 23 that moves the clutch yoke 22 to an intermittent position in conjunction with the operation lever 6 are provided.

  As in claim 1 of the present invention, an operation lever 6 for simultaneously operating 0 N / OFF switching of the brake mechanism 40 and switching of the clutch mechanism 20 is provided, and a line in which the operation lever 6 is wound around the spool 3 is provided. The clutch mechanism 20 is disconnected when the brake mechanism 40 is actuated by swinging the operation lever 6 and the clutch mechanism 20 is connected when the brake mechanism 40 is released. Every time, the complicated work of returning the levers of the drag mechanism 30 and the brake mechanism 40 to the OFF position is no longer necessary. As a result, the user can operate the clutch mechanism 20 and the brake mechanism 40 at the same time by operating the single operation lever 6, and can greatly simplify the operations from line entry to spool winding. The operation of the bearing reel has become extremely easy.

  In addition, since the operation lever 6 is bent and extended onto the line L wound around the spool 3, the operation of the operation lever 6 for operating the brake mechanism 40 and the clutch mechanism 20 becomes extremely easy.

  As in the brake mechanism 40 of claim 2, the clutch mechanism 20 is disconnected when the brake is set to 0 N by the swinging operation of the operation lever 6, and when the hand is released from the operation lever 6, The operation lever 6 is returned to the brake-off position, and the brake-off position is set to the connecting position of the clutch mechanism 20 so that the brake mechanism 40 is operated as if skilled summing is performed. Can do. As a result, the operation of the dual-bearing reel is greatly simplified, so that the user is freed from the conventional complicated work and even beginners can enjoy comfortable fishing.

  As in claim 3, in the brake mechanism 40, the tapered cam nut 42 is pressed and urged toward the spool 3 through the hollow shaft of the camshaft 41 from the outside of one of the left and right covers 1 and 2. Since the braking device 50 is provided and the pressure contact force of the braking pad 44 is adjusted by the braking device 50, the braking force operated by the operation lever 6 is adjusted in advance to a level suitable for the size of the weight and the like. It became possible.

  As in claim 4, the clutch mechanism 20 includes a spool clutch 21 that is connected to the spool 3 in an interlocked manner with the operation lever 6, and a clutch yoke that moves the spool clutch 21 to an intermittent position of the spool 3. 22 and a link device 23 that moves the clutch yoke 22 to the intermittent position in conjunction with the operation lever 6. Therefore, the brake can be braked with a simple configuration that simply adds the link device 23 to the conventionally known clutch mechanism 20. It can be linked to the mechanism 40.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the operation lever is configured to be linked to the brake mechanism and the clutch mechanism, so that the operation from line insertion to spool winding can be remarkably simplified, and even a beginner can perform it easily. The operation achieved the initial objectives such as the ability to perform reliable brake operation suitable for the situation like skilled summing.

It is a side view which shows a motion of the operation lever of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the operation lever of this invention.

  The reel of the present invention includes a drive mechanism 10, a clutch mechanism 20, a drag mechanism 30, and a brake mechanism 40, and is a dual-bearing type reel in which the drag mechanism 30 and the brake mechanism 40 are disposed on the left and right sides of the spool 3 (see FIG. 1).

  The drive mechanism 10 includes a spool shaft 4 that rotatably supports the spool 3 between the left and right covers 1 and 2, and is a mechanism that rotates the spool 3 with a handle 5. The clutch mechanism 20 is a mechanism for switching the rotation of the spool 3 to 0 N / OFF. Furthermore, the drag mechanism 30 is a mechanism that generates a braking force on the spool 3 during fishing, and any of these mechanisms can be arbitrarily selected from conventionally known configurations.

  In the illustrated example, the rotational force of the handle 5 disposed on the right side of the spool 3 is transmitted via the spool shaft 4 to the speed change / acceleration mechanism 60 disposed on the left side of the spool 3. Further, the driving force changed and increased by the transmission / acceleration mechanism 60 has a structure for transmitting the driving force to the spool 3 via the clutch mechanism 20 disposed on the left side of the spool 3.

  The illustrated clutch mechanism 20 includes a spool clutch 21, a clutch yoke 22, and a link device 23 that are linked to the operation lever 6 (see FIG. 2). That is, the spool clutch 21 is a connecting member that is connected to the spool 3 so as to be intermittently connected, and the clutch yoke 22 is a neck-shaped member that horizontally moves the spool clutch 21 to a position where the spool 3 is intermittently connected. These structures have been used for a long time in the conventional clutch mechanism 20.

  In the present invention, a link device 23 that moves the clutch yoke 22 to the intermittent position in conjunction with the operation lever 6 is provided (see FIG. 2). In the link device 23, an interlocking gear 41 </ b> A connected to a camshaft 41 of a brake mechanism 40 described later is connected to an elevating gear 23 </ b> A of the link device 23. When the cylindrical projection 23Aa protruding from the side surface of the lifting gear 23A moves the conversion slider 23B up and down along the long hole 23Ba of the conversion slider 23B, the inclined protrusion 23Bb of the conversion slider 23B presses the clutch yoke 22 in the axial direction. It is configured as follows.

  A spool clutch 21 is connected to the clutch yoke 22 that moves in the axial direction by the link device 23, and the spool clutch 21 is intermittently fitted into the fitting groove 3A of the spool 3 (see FIG. 3). In the drawing, the configuration above the spool shaft 4 shows a state in which the spool clutch 21 is connected, and the configuration below the spool shaft 4 shows a state in which the spool clutch 21 is disconnected. Further, in the figure, reference numeral 24 denotes a debris gear that is mounted on the spool shaft 4, and reference numeral 25 denotes a base plate to which the link device 23 is attached. In addition, the illustrated link device 23 can be replaced with another mechanism such as a cam mechanism.

  The brake mechanism 40 is a mechanism that generates a brake when the spool 3 rotates freely. The brake mechanism 40 is provided with an operation lever 6 for operating 0N / OFF switching of the brake mechanism 40 (see FIG. 1). The operation lever 6 is provided so as to simultaneously operate switching of the clutch mechanism 20 along with the operation of the brake mechanism 40 (see FIG. 2).

  An important configuration in the present invention is that the operation of the brake mechanism 40 and the clutch mechanism 20 is linked by the operation lever 6. The clutch mechanism 20 is disconnected when the brake mechanism 40 is operated by swinging the operation lever 6, and the clutch mechanism 20 is connected when the brake mechanism 40 is released. Further, the operation lever 6 is bent and extended to the line L of the spool 3 to enable operation with the thumb for summing (see FIG. 8). In the illustrated example, a guide rail 7 for limiting the swing range of the operation lever 6 is provided.

  The illustrated brake mechanism 40 includes a cam shaft 41, a tapered cam nut 42, a leaf spring 43, and a braking pad 44 that are connected to the operation lever 6 (see FIG. 4). The brake pad 44 presses the side surface of the spool 3 to generate a brake in the free rotation of the spool 3 (see FIGS. 5A and 5B).

  The camshaft 41 is a hollow shaft member connected to the operation lever 6, and the end of the camshaft 41 on the spool 3 side is subjected to an inclination process (see FIG. 4). The inclined surface comes into contact with the inclined surface of the tapered cam nut 42, and the tapered cam nut 42 is pressed in the direction of the spool 3 as the cam shaft 41 rotates (see FIG. 5A). The taper cam nut 42 is provided with a leaf spring 43 and a brake pad 44. When the taper cam nut 42 moves in the direction of the spool 3, the brake pad 44 presses the side surface of the spool 3 (see FIG. 5B). ).

  The illustrated braking pad 44 is attached to a leaf spring 43 that is cantilevered to a base plate 47 (see FIG. 6). Further, in order to adjust the friction coefficient at the time of pressing, it is configured so as to come into pressure contact with a brake disk 45 fixed to the side surface of the spool 3 (see FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B)).

  A return spring 46 is mounted on the camshaft 41. When the hand is released from the operation lever 6, the operation lever 6 is always returned to the original position (brake OFF) by the urging force of the return spring 46. (See FIG. 4). When the camshaft 41 returns to the original position together with the operation lever 6, the tapered cam nut 42 also returns to the original position by the urging force of the leaf spring 43 (see FIG. 5 (a)).

  Thus, when the operating lever 6 is returned to the original position by the urging force of the return spring 46, the brake pad 44 is separated from the spool 3 and the brake is turned off (see FIG. 5 (A)). When the operating lever 6 is swung from this state, the camshaft 41 rotates and the taper cam nut 42 moves in the direction of the spool 3, pressing the leaf spring 43 and the brake pad 44, and the brake pad 44 is moved to the spool 3. The brake disc 45 is pressed to turn on the brake (see FIG. 5B).

  The pressing urging force by the brake pad 44 is generated when the operating lever 6 is swung with fingers, and the brake is turned on. When the hand is released from the operating lever 6, the brake is turned off. The position of the operation lever 6 in the brake-off state is the connecting position of the clutch mechanism 20, and the free rotation of the spool 3 is stopped. When the operation lever 6 is moved again from this base position, the clutch mechanism 20 is disengaged and the spool 3 rotates freely (see FIG. 3). In the configuration shown in the figure, the position above the spool shaft 4 indicates a state where the clutch is engaged, and the position below the spool shaft 4 indicates a state where the clutch is disengaged.

  The braking device 50 is configured to adjust the pressing force of the braking pad 44 in the brake-on state. The braking device 50 passes through the hollow shaft of the camshaft 41 from the outside of the cover 1 and is connected to the tapered cam nut 42 (see FIG. 5A). The pressure contact force of the brake pad 44 in the brake-on state is finely adjusted by moving the position of the taper cam nut 42 in the brake-off state closer to or away from the spool 3.

  The illustrated braking device 50 is mounted on the rotary shaft portion of the operation lever 6 (see FIG. 7). An adjustment knob 51, a coil spring 52, a collar 53, an adjustment shaft 54, and a fixed shaft 55 are provided (see FIG. 4). That is, the adjustment knob 51 is rotatably provided on the concentric shaft with the operation lever 6, and the adjustment shaft 54 is connected to the adjustment knob 51. In the adjustment shaft 54, the end portion on the spool 3 side is processed into a half-moon shape. On the other hand, the end cross section of the fixed shaft 55 also has a half-moon shape and is configured to match them.

  When the adjustment knob 51 is rotated by bringing the adjustment shaft 54 and the fixed shaft 55 into contact with each other, the adjustment shaft 54 pushes the fixed shaft 55 in the spool 3 direction, and the fixed shaft 55 moves. As a result, the fixed shaft 55 is adjusted so as to press the taper cam nut 42 and approach the spool 3 direction (see FIG. 5A). The fixed shaft 55 is screwed into the through screw hole 42A of the tapered cam nut 42, and the adjustment knob 51 is connected to the adjustment shaft 54 via a coil spring 52 and a collar 53 (see FIG. 4).

  In addition, each structure of this invention is not limited to the example of illustration, For example, the shape, structure, etc. of the brake mechanism 40, the clutch mechanism 20, etc. can be changed arbitrarily in the range which does not change the summary of this invention. Is possible.
