Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to a fishing reel provided with a brake device that suppresses overrun of the reel when a fishing line is fed out.

  Fishing reels include spinning reels and double-bearing reels, and especially the double-bearing reels are designed to be suitable for big fishing such as jigging fishing and trolling fishing, and handle shafts that support the handle for winding the fishing line to the spool. A lever drag type dual bearing reel in which a friction engagement portion of a drag mechanism and an adjustment lever of the drag mechanism are arranged coaxially with the spool shaft is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

When fishing with both bearing reels attached to a fishing rod, there are a method of throwing a device by shaking the fishing rod, and a method of fishing by dropping the device from the fishing rod directly below using the weight of the device without throwing the device. .
In the case of the former method, the drag-free spool rotates at high speed by throwing a device and the fishing line is fed out.However, when the speed at which the device flies decreases due to the influence of wind, etc., the rotation of the spool decreases accordingly. If the fishing line is continuously fed out, the extra lined fishing line may be entangled with the front portion of the spool and become like a bird's nest.
In the latter method, the speed at which the fishing line is fed out from the drag-free spool changes due to the influence of the tide flow. When the speed was reduced from the speed that was fed out at a high speed, the rotation of the spool did not decrease along with it, and the overrun state (idle state) occurred. The fishing line may get entangled in the front part of the spool and clump together like a bird's nest.

  As described above, when the fishing line is unwound from the spool in the drag-free state at the start of fishing, it is necessary to perform a fine operation for suppressing the slack of the fishing line. As this suppression operation, there is a method called summing. This is a method of adjusting the degree to which the fishing line fed out from the spool is suppressed by the left thumb holding the reel. However, in order to suppress the fishing line fed out vigorously, the fishing line may damage the finger, which is not preferable.

  For this reason, as a device that mechanically suppresses the overrun state (idle state) of the spool, some bearing reels are provided with a brake device that can be operated by the left hand from the side of the reel body opposite to the handle. (See Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-196731

  In Patent Document 1, a push button that can be operated from the side surface of the reel body opposite to the handle is disposed in a protruding state from the side surface of the reel body. Has advanced, and the brake pad at the tip presses the side surface of the spool, and the brake is applied to the rotation of the spool.

Since this brake device presses the side surface of the spool, the pressing force causes the bias in the spool, which is not preferable.
In addition, this brake device requires special parts such as a push button, a cylinder, a slide shaft, a coil spring, and a wear-resistant brake shoe. Further, a circular groove into which the brake shoe is inserted is provided on the side surface of the spool. This requires special processing such as forming a large number of parts, increases the number of assembly steps, and increases costs.

In view of such a point, the present invention suppresses the slack of the fishing line when the fishing line is unwound from the spool when the fishing is started without adding bias to the spool and the addition of simple parts. A fishing reel provided with a brake device suitable for performing fine operations is provided.
For this reason, the present invention is characterized by providing a brake device that uses a drag mechanism provided in both bearing reels.

The fishing reel of the first invention includes a spool shaft supported by the reel body, a spool that is rotatably supported by the spool shaft and winds fishing line, a first friction plate 13A that rotates together with the spool, A second friction plate 13B facing the first friction plate 13A, and an urging member for urging the first friction plate 13A so as to be in a separated state with respect to the second friction plate 13B. Equipped with a drag mechanism that applies drag force to the rotation of
The first friction plate 13A has a pressing member that can press the spool shaft from the side of the reel body, and the first friction plate 13A is pressed by the pressing member against the biasing force of the biasing member. A brake device that contacts the plate,
It is characterized by that.

The second invention is the first invention,
The pressing member is coupled to an end portion of the spool shaft at a coupling portion, and includes a pressing head having a diameter larger than that of the coupling portion, and the coupling portion passes through a side surface of the reel body, and the pressing head is Having a recessed portion to be accommodated, and before the pressing operation of the pressing member, the urging force of the urging member holds the pressing head away from the bottom of the recessed portion at a predetermined interval, and the predetermined interval is An interval for securing an axial movement distance of the spool shaft set by a cam mechanism of the drag mechanism that controls a movement distance of the spool shaft in the axial direction.
It is characterized by that.

The third invention is the first invention or the second invention,
The pressing head of the pressing member includes a circular main part having the coupling shaft part and an auxiliary part extending obliquely forward and upward from the circular main part.
It is characterized by that.

The brake device of the present invention includes a pressing member disposed on the side surface of the reel body on the side opposite to the handle so as to be able to press the spool shaft, and the first friction plate is in a separated state with respect to the second friction plate of the drag mechanism. In this manner, the first friction plate 13A is brought into contact with the second friction plate against the urging force of the urging member that urges in this manner, whereby a predetermined brake is applied to the spool rotation at the time of fishing line feeding.
Thus, in order to apply the brake to the spool appropriately by the pressing operation against the urging member of the drag mechanism, in the conventional method of applying the brake by pressing the side surface of the spool, the pressing force causes the spool to be biased. However, in the present invention, since the spool shaft is pressed, there is no possibility that such a biasing force is generated in the spool, and a stable braking action can be given.

  The brake device of the present invention also eliminates the need for special parts such as a push button, a cylinder, a slide shaft, a coil spring, and a wear-resistant brake shoe that are necessary as a conventional brake device. No special processing such as forming a circular groove to be formed on the side surface of the spool is required, and a stable brake can be applied to the spool.

In the second invention, since the pressing head is housed in the recess, the protrusion of the pressing head from the side surface of the reel is suppressed, so that a sense of incongruity is reduced even if the hand holding the reel touches the pressing head. Is done.
In addition, there is no risk that the fishing line may get entangled with the pressing member, the pressing member, the spool shaft, and the coupling portion, and stable fishing operation and braking operation can be achieved.

  In 3rd invention, it has an auxiliary | assistant part extended diagonally forward upwards from a circular main body part in a press head. This auxiliary part is located in the space between the thumb and the left hand of the left hand that covers the side of the reel body opposite to the handle during fishing operation, so the auxiliary part does not get in the way during fishing operation and brakes to the spool When the auxiliary part is pushed together with this main part when applying the brake, it becomes easy to apply the brake without enlarging the main part, and the brake can be applied stably.

In the following description, the lever drag type reel 1 is viewed from the rear toward the tip of the fishing rod 60 in a state where the mounting leg 2 of the lever drag type reel 1 is attached to the attachment portion 61 formed on the upper portion of the fishing rod 60. The state will be referred to as the right side and the left side.

  The lever drag type reel 1 according to the present invention adjusts a drag main body 11, a spool 15 rotatably supported by a spool shaft 16 supported by the reel main body 11, and a drag force for rotating the spool 15 in a fishing line feeding direction. Drag mechanism 13, gear device GA that rotationally drives spool 15 via drag mechanism 13, handle 12 that rotates a handle shaft that rotationally drives gear device GA, and drag that adjusts the drag force of drag mechanism 13 A lever 14 is provided.

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. 3, 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 (Left side in FIG. 3). The second urging member 28 urges the spool 15 inward of the spool shaft 16 (leftward in FIG. 3) 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.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the handle knob (grip part) 12D is rotatably coupled with the middle part between the two ends at the tip of the handle knob support shaft part 12E while keeping the handle knob support shaft part 12E crossed. The handle knob support shaft portion 12E has a size and a length that can be held between the thumb and index finger of the right hand holding the handle knob (grip portion) 12D. An annular finger movement blocking portion 12H that expands outwardly from the arcuate portion of the distal end 12B1 of the handle arm 12B during rotation of the fishing line winding rotation is provided on the outer periphery of the portion of the shaft portion 12E adjacent to the handle arm 12B. Forming.

  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 FIG. 1) but not in the reverse direction, the handle 12 is provided in the second side plate cover 11E ( Specifically, a one-way clutch 21 is provided between the bearings 18A and 18B in the second side plate outer cover 11E2. 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.

  The drag mechanism 13 transmits the rotation of the handle for the winding operation to the spool 15 when the fishing line 62 is wound on the spool 15 rotatably mounted on the non-rotating spool shaft 16 in a state where the fish is hooked. In addition to adjusting the strength of the rotation transmission force for performing the rotation, when the fish 15 pulls in the fishing line feeding direction of the spool 15, the braking force is applied to this rotation to adjust or change the braking force. .

  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. The disc-shaped first friction plate 13A (corresponding to the movable brake plate) fixed to the side surface of the circular flange portion 15C on the right side) and the handle 12 so as to contact the first friction plate 13A. A disk-shaped second friction plate 13B (corresponding to a fixed brake plate) that rotates with the rotation, and the spool 15 with respect to the spool shaft 16 in the axial direction of the spool shaft 16 (the right side in the figure on the handle side). The spool 15 is moved in the axial direction of the spool shaft 16 so that the first biasing member 27 composed of four disc springs biased toward the first friction plate 13A and the first friction plate 13A are separated from the second friction plate 13B in a drag-free state (see FIG. Anti A second urging member 28 comprising a coil spring urging toward the left side in the figure, the cam mechanism 30 for controlling the axial movement of the spool shaft 16 by the swinging motion of the drag lever 14, and the drag lever 14 And a drag adjusting device 50 that presets (referred to as “preset”) a drag force strength adjustment range by swinging. 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.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, 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. 6 (b), and the cam surface 31A is the axis 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 centered on 16S, and the symmetrical cam surface 31A is gradually inclined more counterclockwise as viewed from the handle 12 side (handle 12). It becomes a shape that becomes higher so as to approach the side. 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 figure, and the second cam 32 is an inner circumference 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. 6A is a side view of the first cam 31, FIG. 6B is a plan view of the first cam 31, and FIG. 6C 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. 7A and 7B, the cam portion of the second cam 32 has a protruding cam-shaped cam portion 32A 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). A bottomed cylindrical shape in which a male screw 16A (a part drawn by two parallel lines on the outer peripheral surface of the right end portion in FIG. 3) and a female screw 51A screwed into the male screw 16A is formed inside, A drag adjusting member 51 is provided in contact with the two cams 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, while the female screw 51A of the drag adjusting member 51 and the male screw 16A of the spool shaft 16 are compressed. The screwing length is increased, the spool shaft 16 is slightly moved to the handle 12 side (right side in FIG. 3) 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 as 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 short. Thus, the spool shaft 16 slightly moves in the direction away from the handle 12 side (left side in FIG. 3) along with the spool 15, and the drag force weak setting state in which the drag force is slightly weakened is set. 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. 3 has a strong contact force between the first friction plate 13A and the second friction plate 13B, 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. 3 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 shows a drag-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). Since the spool shaft 16 moves to the left in FIG. 3 along with the spool 15 by the biasing of the second biasing member 28, the first friction plate is thereby positioned. 13A moves to the left in FIG. 3, 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, with respect to the rotation of the spool 15 in the fishing line feeding direction, a drag force by the drag mechanism 13 is not applied (drag free state), and the spool 15 is in a free rotation state, so that casting can be performed.

  Each cam provided at a 180-degree symmetrical position of the second cam 32 by 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) 3) When the cam portion 32A of the second cam 32 climbs the cam surface within the range of 20 degrees), the second cam 32 moves to the right in FIG. 3, 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. 3) 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. 3, and the drag adjusting member 51 moves to the right in FIG. Accordingly, the drag adjusting member 51 causes the spool shaft 16 and the spool 15 to be attracted and moved to the handle 12 side (right side in FIG. 3), and 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. 2 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. 3, 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. 2, the cam portion 32A of the second cam 32 is within 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. 3 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. 3 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 2 is swung (rotated) in the F direction (forward, clockwise) in FIG. 2, 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.

  In order to rotate the drag lever 14 stably, the protrusion 14D1 protruding from the operation portion 14D which is a part of the drag lever 14 is fitted into an arcuate groove 70 formed on the arcuate upper surface of the second side plate 11B. The drag lever 14 can be rotated back and forth with the rotation of the drag lever 14. A sounding device 65 for rotating the drag lever 14 stepwise is provided in this portion.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, 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 formed on the upper side of the fishing rod 60, and the mounting thereof. In the state, the fishing rod 60 is supported from below by the middle finger or ring finger of the operator's left hand LH along the left side surface of the lever drag reel 1 and the lever drag reel 1 is gripped by the left hand LH. The drag lever 14 can be operated with the thumb LH1 and the handle 12 can be operated with the right hand of the operator. 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.

When fishing with both bearing reels attached to the fishing rod, the method of throwing the device by shaking the fishing rod causes the drag-free spool to rotate at high speed by throwing the device, but the fishing line is fed out. When the speed at which the mechanism flies decreases due to the influence of the fishing line, etc., the rotation of the spool does not decrease along with it, and the overrun state (idle state) occurs. Entangled in the front part of the wings, it can be in a state of clinging like a bird's nest.
Further, in the method of fishing by dropping the device directly from the fishing rod using the device weight without throwing the device, the speed at which the fishing line is fed out from the drag-free spool changes due to the influence of the tide flow. When the speed was reduced from the speed that was fed out at a high speed, the rotation of the spool did not decrease along with it, and the overrun state (idle state) occurred. The fishing line may get entangled in the front part of the spool and clump together like a bird's nest.

As described above, the present invention provides a brake device that uses the drag mechanism 13 as a brake device capable of performing a fine operation for suppressing slack of the fishing line when the fishing line is fed from the spool in the drag-free state at the start of fishing. 100 is provided.
Below, the structure of the brake device 100 is described.

  As described above, the lever drag type reel 1 includes the spool shaft 16 supported by the reel body 11, the spool 15 rotatably supported by the spool shaft 16 and winding the fishing line, and the first rotating with the spool 15. There are a friction plate 13A, a second friction plate 13B facing the first friction plate 13A, and a biasing member 28 for biasing the first friction plate 13A away from the second friction plate 13B in a drag-free state. In addition, a drag mechanism 13 is provided that applies a frictional engagement force (drag force) to the rotation of the spool 15 by frictional engagement of the first friction plate 13A and the second friction plate 13B.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the brake device 100 is operated on the side of the reel body 11 so that the brake device 100 can be operated with a hand (left hand in the embodiment) opposite to the hand operating the handle 12 (right hand in the embodiment). A pressing member 101 that enables the spool shaft 16 to be pressed from one side is provided. By pressing the pressing member 101 in the axial direction (direction on the handle 12 side) along the axis 16S of the spool shaft 16 against the urging force of the urging member 28, the first friction plate 13A becomes the second friction plate. It is the structure which contacts 13B.

  The pressing member 101 is integrated with the spool shaft 16 by the connecting portion 102. Among the various configurations of the coupling portion 102, as a simple configuration, the coupling portion 102 is formed on the shaft outer surface protruding from the end portion of the spool shaft 16 toward the left side surface of the reel body 11 on the extension of the central shaft of the spool shaft 16. The male screw shaft portion 103 and the female screw shaft portion 104 formed in the shaft hole protruding in the central axis direction of the spool shaft 16 from the back side of the pressing member 101 are screw-coupled. With this screw connection, the tip of the female screw shaft portion 104 abuts on the end portion of the spool shaft 16 at the root portion of the male screw shaft portion 103, and the pressing member 101 is properly connected to the spool shaft 16. In addition, as a configuration opposite to this configuration, a female screw shaft portion formed in a shaft hole toward the central axis direction of the spool shaft 16 so as to open to the end portion of the spool shaft 16, and the spool shaft 16 from the back side of the pressing member 101. It may be a mechanism in which a male threaded shaft portion formed on the outer surface of the shaft protruding in the direction is screwed.

  The pressing of the pressing member 101 is operated with a hand opposite to the hand operating the handle 12. Normally, when the handle 12 is operated with the right hand, the pressing member 101 is pressed with the left hand. This pressing operation is suitable to be performed on the stomach of the reverse hand, the finger, the base of the finger, or the like. The pressing member 101 is larger than the coupling portion 102 so that the pressing operation of the pressing member 101 allows the brake device 100 to perform an adjustment operation so that an appropriate brake is applied to the rotation of the spool 15 in the fishing line feeding direction. A circular pressing head 105 having a diameter is provided. The first side plate cover 11 </ b> D has a circular recess 106 through which the coupling portion 102 penetrates and the pressing head 105 is accommodated so as to open to the left side surface of the reel body 11.

  In a normal state where the pressing member 101 and the spool shaft 16 are coupled by the coupling portion 102, the tip end of the shaft portion 104 of the pressing member 101 is in contact with the end portion of the spool shaft 16. In this state, before the pressing operation of the pressing member 101, as shown in FIG. 4, the state where the back surface of the pressing head 105 is separated from the bottom of the recess 106 by a predetermined interval Z by the urging force of the urging member 28 is maintained. The predetermined interval Z is an interval for securing the axial movement distance of the spool shaft 16, that is, the axial direction of the spool shaft 16 set by the cam mechanism 30 that controls the movement distance of the spool shaft 16 in the axis 16S direction. This is an interval for securing the moving distance of the first friction plate 13A, and by the pressing operation of the pressing member 101, it is possible to secure the distance that the first friction plate 13A moves and contacts the second friction plate 13B.

The pressing head 105 and the recess 106 have a circular outer peripheral surface, and the diameter of the recess 106 is slightly larger than the diameter of the pressing head 105. In FIG. 8, for the sake of explanation, a gap is formed between the pressing head 105 and the recess 106 of the pressing member 101, but preferably, the gap between the outer peripheral surfaces of the pressing head 105 and the recess 106 is the gap. It is preferable that the fishing line does not enter the seam.
The outer surface 107 of the pressing head 105 is slightly protruded from the left side surface of the reel main body 11, and the outer surface of the pressing head 105 is pushed by the belly or finger of the left hand grasped so as to cover the left side surface of the reel main body 11. The outer surface 107 of the pressing head 105 protrudes with a curved surface toward the outside so as to reduce the uncomfortable feeling when touching the belly or finger of the left hand. The outer peripheral surface 108 of the pressing head 105 is positioned slightly outward from the outer peripheral end portion of the head. This is because when the pressing head 105 is pressed, the belly or finger of the left hand enters the recess 106 and is not injured at the outer peripheral end of the recess 106.

  With this configuration, when one adjustment range is set by the drag adjusting device 50, in the state before the pressing member 101 is pressed, as shown in the lower half of FIG. 3 and FIG. The spool 15 is urged inward (leftward in FIG. 3) of the spool shaft 16 so that the first friction plate 13A is separated from the second friction plate 13B by the spring force. This is a drag-free state in which the rotation of the feeding direction 62 is free.

In this drag-free state, the spool 15 rotates in the feeding direction of the fishing line 62 by casting when starting fishing. At this time, as shown in the upper half of FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, the pressing member 101 is pressed in the axial direction (the handle 12 side along the axis 16 </ b> S of the spool shaft 16) against the urging force of the urging member 28. Thus, the first friction plate 13A comes into contact with the second friction plate 13B. Therefore, by adjusting the pressing force that presses the pressing member 101 in the axial direction along the axis 16S of the spool shaft 16, the degree of contact of the first friction plate 13A with the second friction plate 13B can be adjusted. As described above, when the fishing line feeding state changes due to the influence of air resistance, wind, tide flow, etc., a fine adjustment operation can be performed to brake the rotation of the spool 15 in the fishing line feeding direction in response to the change.
Thereby, it can suppress that the spool 15 will be in an overrun state (idle state), and can suppress that a fishing line loosens and becomes entangled.

As another embodiment of the pressing member 101, as shown in FIG. 9, the pressing head 105 of the pressing member 101 includes a circular main body portion 105A and an auxiliary portion 105B extending obliquely forward and upward from the circular main body portion 105A. Have. Accordingly, the concave portion 106 also has a circular main concave portion 106A and an auxiliary concave portion 10B that extends obliquely forward and upward from the circular main concave portion 106A and accommodates the auxiliary portion 105B.
Also in this configuration, as described above, the outer surface 107 of the pressing head 105 protrudes outwardly with a curved surface, and even when the pressing member 101 is pressed deeply, the pressing head 105 has a more pressing surface than the outer peripheral end of the recess 106. When the outer peripheral surface 108 is located slightly outward and the pressing head 105 is pressed, the left hand belly or finger enters the recess 106 and is not injured at the outer peripheral end of the recess 106.
In FIG. 9, for the sake of explanation, a gap is formed between the pressing head 105 of the pressing member 101 and the recess 106, but preferably, between the outer peripheral surfaces of the pressing head 105 and the recess 106 as described above. The clearance is preferably such that the fishing line does not enter the clearance.

In the above configuration, the pressing member 101 is coupled to the spool shaft 16 by the coupling portion 102. However, as an alternative configuration, the pressing member 101 is not coupled to the spool shaft 16 by the coupling portion 102, and the female screw shaft of the pressing member 101 is used. A shaft portion corresponding to the portion 104 is provided, and the pressing member 101 can be moved in the direction of the spool shaft 16 with the shaft portion corresponding to the end of the spool shaft 16, and is supported by the first side plate cover 11D so as not to drop off. The configuration is as follows.
Thus, in the drag-free state, the spool 15 moves inwardly of the spool shaft 16 (left side in FIG. 3) so that the first friction plate 13A is separated from the second friction plate 13B by the spring force of the second urging member 28. The pressing member 101 is urged outward (leftward in FIG. 3) by the spool shaft 16 in a state where it is urged toward the left side. Then, by pressing the pressing member 101 in the axial direction (on the handle 12 side along the axis 16S of the spool shaft 16) against the biasing force of the biasing member 28, the first friction plate 13A becomes the second friction plate 13B. Abut.

  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. 3, 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.

  In the event of an abnormality such as when a fishhook is caught by a foreign object such as a rock during actual fishing, the fishing line 62 is pulled out in order to remove the hook by a strong pulling operation of the fishing rod 60 or to cut the fishing line 62. As shown in FIG. 3, a stop device 85 that stops the rotation of 15 is accommodated in the first side plate 11 </ b> A on the left side of the lever drag type reel 1.

  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.
