Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to a fishing reel characterized by the surface structure of an exterior part.

  Conventionally, a fishing reel is configured by incorporating a plurality of exterior parts. Most of the exterior parts are molded by using a metal material or a synthetic resin material, and the material surface of the molded article is usually disclosed, for example, in Patent Document 1 in order to improve the decorativeness and corrosion resistance. As it has been, painting and plating are applied. Also, recently, weight reduction of components is required in terms of operability, and synthetic resin materials are adopted for most of exterior parts, and painting, plating, etc. are performed in order to impart design, appearance, high-class feeling, etc. By forming a film on the surface of the molded article.

JP-A-11-18627

  The surface treatment by the above-mentioned coating is that the adhesion to the surface of the material is not stable due to the influence of the coating environment and conditions, the paint stagnation is likely to occur at the edge, the film thickness and color tone are difficult to be constant In the surface treatment of the exterior part of a fishing reel used under severe conditions of use environment, there are problems in terms of corrosion resistance, appearance and integration.

  In the plating process described above, surface treatment is simultaneously applied to a large number of exterior parts in the processing apparatus, but depending on the arrangement position in the processing apparatus, a film is formed with a uniform thickness and a preset film thickness. Is difficult, and the film thickness tends to be uneven among lots. That is, as in the case of coating, film thickness control is difficult, and defects in the ease of incorporation tend to occur (when film thickness is too thick, the incorporation becomes a problem), and in the case of a rotating body such as a rotor There are problems with quality in that the rotor balance is easily disturbed due to the weight variation.

  In addition, the surface treatment by plating is limited in color variation and inferior in design. That is, the color tone of the plating appearance depends on the inherent color of the plating metal, Au color if gold plating, Ag color if silver plating, Ni color if nickel plating, Cr color if chromium plating, the color tone There are few variations in terms. In addition, since fishing reels are placed under a special environment such as seawater, moisture, various types of bait and fish slime, there is a problem of electrical corrosion between exterior parts, which leads to quality problems. There is a problem.

  Furthermore, if a metal coating such as plating is formed, the grip of the hand or the touch of a touching finger becomes hard and easy to feel cold when holding or operating, and particularly when fishing in cold weather such as in winter. There is also a problem in terms of feeling of use since it gives a cold feeling when it is gripped.

  The present invention has been made focusing on the above-mentioned problems, and it is easy to control the film thickness of the surface layer and easily maintain the quality, and the fishing reel equipped with an exterior part which can improve the appearance and feeling of use Intended to provide.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the fishing reel according to the present invention comprises a plurality of exterior parts, and the exterior surface of at least one exterior part is the exterior of the exterior layer on the plastic substrate. It is characterized by being covered by the film sheet provided with the adhesion layer applied to the surface of parts.

  In the fishing reel described above, the exposed surface of the exterior part is covered with a plastic film sheet (a film sheet is applied for surface treatment). Such a film sheet is easy to control the film thickness and can ensure the film thickness with high accuracy, so that the film sheet is uniformly deposited over the surface of the exterior component, and conventional plating and coating can be performed. The film thickness is stable as compared with the surface treatment by this method, and the weight does not vary due to this. That is, while the surface treatment such as plating or painting can obtain an accurate film thickness after being decorated and formed, the film sheet has a film thickness specified in advance, so the design value specified at the beginning is specified. The following can be applied, and in particular, the quality and balance of the rotating body can be improved.

  In addition, the film sheet can form various colors and does not peel or tear like a surface treatment by painting even when it comes in contact with other things, so that the appearance may deteriorate or the holding feeling may deteriorate. In addition, since there is a certain degree of elasticity, and the frictional resistance is also large compared to metal, it is possible to make the touch feel slippery. Furthermore, since it is a plastic sheet, it effectively functions as an insulating material, and it is possible to reliably prevent different metal contact corrosion (electroerosion) with the adjacent metal member when the exterior part is formed of a metal material. Moreover, since it is also possible to adhere so as to wind in between components, the waterproof effect and the electric corrosion prevention effect can also be exhibited easily and with high precision.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a fishing reel equipped with an exterior part which facilitates the control of the film thickness of the surface layer and easily maintains the quality and improves the appearance and the feeling of use.

(A)-(c) is a figure which shows the structure of the film sheet attached to the exterior component which comprises the reel for fishing, respectively. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a reel body of a fishing reel (spinning reel) according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a joint portion of a reel body and a rear end cap of the spinning reel shown in FIG. 2; FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a screw hole portion of a rear end cap of the spinning reel shown in FIG. 2; The disassembled perspective view of the reel main body of the fishing reel (double bearing type reel) which concerns on the 2nd Embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a fishing reel according to the present invention will be specifically described.
The present invention is an adhesive layer in which the surface of an exterior component formed of various resins or metal materials constituting a fishing reel is adhered to the surface of the exterior component on the inner layer side of a plastic base (adhesive Covering with a film sheet provided with a layer). In this case, as a method of attaching the film sheet to the exterior part, for example, a surface decoration technique using a vacuum forming apparatus, a three-dimensional surface decoration technique (eg, JP-A-3-21426 and JP-A-2002-67137 etc.), in-mold molding technology, film insert technology and water transfer technology can be used.

  In addition, the plastic film sheet 1 to be attached to the exterior component by the above-described attachment method has, for example, a laminated sheet shown in FIGS. 1 (a) to 1 (c). Is possible. That is, if the film sheet 1 deposited from the exposed surface side is provided with a resin layer (base material 10) as a base material and an adhesive layer (adhesive layer) 14 applied to the exterior component. It is preferable that, as shown in FIG. 1A, a decorative layer (decorative layer) 12 for improving the appearance pattern be used between the base material 10 and the adhesive layer 14. it can.

  The sheet material to be the substrate 10 may be made of a thermoplastic resin, and in the fishing reel used in a severe usage environment as in the present invention, the substrate portion to be the outermost layer is durable It is preferable to use acrylic, polycarbonate or the like which is excellent in resistance, waterproofness and corrosion resistance. Alternatively, in addition to the above, it is also possible to use thermoplastic resins such as ABS, PET, polypropylene, polyethylene, vinyl chloride, and composites of these.

  The decorative layer 12 is a layer exhibiting an appearance pattern (color) visible through the substrate 10, and for example, a metal material such as indium, aluminum, chromium, nickel, SUS, gold, silver, copper, brass, etc. It is constituted by adhering to a material (sheet material). The deposition of the metal material can be formed by vapor deposition (metal vapor deposition layer), and by forming such a metal vapor deposition layer, it is possible to express the metallic appearance. Alternatively, such a metal material may be deposited as a metal film formed by thin film forming processing such as sputtering other than vapor deposition, and even if multiple layers of such metal materials are provided. good. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), printing (eg, offset printing, gravure printing, inkjet printing, silk screen printing, transfer) is performed on a part of the decorative layer 12 (preferably on the front side with high visibility). A sheet or the like may be applied to form characters, figures, patterns, etc. (generally referred to as a pattern 12a).

  In addition to the above, as a method of decorating the appearance of the substrate 10, a resin containing a coloring agent is applied to the surface of the substrate to form a colored coat, or a hairline processing (lined pattern is applied) A metallic appearance may be applied, the base material 10 may be impregnated with a dye and colored, or embossing may be applied to form asperities on the surface. Moreover, you may give to the base material 10 about printing.

  The adhesive layer (adhesive layer) 14 is laminated on the decorative layer 12 and is made of, for example, an acrylic resin, a polyamide resin, a urethane resin, an epoxy resin or the like. The adhesive layer 14 can be laminated to the base 10, for example, by offset printing, gravure printing, or the like, or in the absence of the decorative layer 12 or the decorative layer. As shown in FIG. 1C, the decorative layer 12 b may be formed by further laminating ABS or the like on the adhesive layer 14.

  The film sheet 1 described above is easy to control the film thickness, and can form different film thicknesses with high accuracy. The film thickness T of the film sheet 1 can be appropriately selected and used in the range of, for example, 50 μm to 100 μm, and the required characteristics of exterior parts (handle knob, clutch lever, cover, rear end cap, etc.) It is possible to use a film sheet of appropriate thickness depending on the relationship with the adjacent exterior parts.

  Next, an embodiment of a fishing reel provided with an exterior part on which the above-described film sheet is attached will be described.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a reel body of the fishing reel (spinning reel) according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
The reel body 21 of the spinning reel 20 according to the present embodiment is integrally formed with a reel leg 21A attached to a fishing rod, and a cylindrical front cover 22 is attached to the front of the reel leg 21A. The side cover 23 is fixed by a plurality of fixing members (screws) 24. The rear end cap 25 is fixed to the rear of the reel body 21 by a plurality of fixing members (screws) 26.

  The front cover 22, the side cover 23, the rear end cap 25 and the like mounted on the reel body 21 described above are an example of exterior parts constituting a spinning reel, and the reel body 21 is also an exterior part constituting a spinning reel. is there. The plastic film sheet 1 is attached to the surface of such exterior parts 21, 22, 23, 25 using the above-described attachment method.

Further, as is known, the reel body 21 is provided with a rotatably supported rotor, a spool supported so as to be movable back and forth in synchronization with the rotational movement of the rotor, and a handle for rotationally driving the rotor. Although it is provided, these members (constituting exterior parts) are omitted in FIG.
The rotor is a rotating body provided with a pair of arm portions that rotate around the spool. At the front end of each arm, a bail support member to which the base end of the bail is attached is rotatably supported between the line take-up position and the line release position. The portion is attached to a line guide portion (line roller) integrally provided on the bail support member. The rotation balance is particularly important for such a high-speed rotating rotor, and a highly accurate balance design is required.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a joint portion of the rear end cap and the reel body, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a screw hole portion of the rear end cap. In the present embodiment, the above-described film sheet 1 is adhered to the rear end cap 25.

  In addition to the exposed surface portions (upper surface 25a, rear surface 25b, side surface 25c, lower surface 25d) in the rear end cap 25, the film sheet 1 is rolled up to the edge portion 25e which contacts the reel body 21. It is worn. In this case, the film sheet 1 remains attached to the exposed surface portion and the edge 25e, and is not attached to the inner surface 25f. Therefore, the film sheet 1 is applied so as to wrap a plurality of exposed surfaces having different exposed surface angles, and is applied so as to wrap the edge 25e of the rear end cap 25 (three-dimensionally applied It is preferable to use the known three-dimensional surface decoration technique described above, because That is, in such a deposition method, the film sheet 1 can be deposited in a state of slightly protruding from the edge 25 e of the rear end cap 25 (as shown by the dotted line in FIG. After the deposition step, it is possible to prevent the inner surface 25f of the rear end cap 25 from being deposited by laser cutting or the like the protruding portion.

  As a result, when the rear end cap 25 is attached to the reel body 21, as shown in FIG. 3, the film sheet 1 is interposed (sandwiched) between the rear end cap 25 and the reel body 21. It is possible to incorporate both without direct contact. The film sheet may be attached to only one of the adjacent (contacting) exterior parts, but may be attached to both so as to wrap the exterior parts. As described above, since the wound portion of the exterior equipment on which the film sheet 1 is attached is caught in the interview portion with other parts, it is possible to effectively prevent the electrolytic corrosion due to the contact between the exterior parts formed of different metals. .

  The film sheet 1 described above can express a silver-colored appearance color by using a substrate (transparent substrate) 10 made of acrylic on which indium is vapor deposited (decorative layer 12 made of indium). It is possible to have an appearance like a metal back end cap or a silver plated back end cap.

  Further, according to the fishing reel in which the film sheet 1 as described above is attached to the exterior part, the following effects can be obtained.

  When plating is used as the surface treatment, the film thickness and weight will vary (variations may occur between lots, or will also vary depending on the installation position in the crucible of the plating treatment), and if plating is excessive, the members may Although the problem of not being able to be fitted (not assembled, not incorporated) may occur, the above-mentioned sheet member 1 can be made to have the designed film thickness because the film thickness control is easy, and such a problem It does not occur. In particular, since the fishing reel is used in the sea, if the thickness of the plating film is increased to improve corrosion resistance, the above problem becomes remarkable, but with the film sheet, such a problem is solved. Specifically, the film sheet 1 can have a film thickness of about 75 μm to 100 μm and is thicker than the thickness of the plating, but the film thickness is stable. It does not occur. In addition, since the film sheet 1 can be made of various types having different film thicknesses, it is possible to use an optimal film sheet as needed, and there is no need to control the film thickness at the time of plating.

  In addition, in the surface treatment of coating and plating, when it comes in contact with other things, scratches and peeling occur, leading to deterioration and deterioration of the appearance, but the film sheet 1 is not easily scratched and has a good appearance over a long period of time Can be maintained. In addition, in plating and painting dipping, surface treatment is applied to the back surface, but as described above, film sheets should not be deposited on unnecessary portions (inner side surfaces that do not become exposed surfaces of exterior components). It also does not add weight as a result.

  Moreover, in the surface treatment by plating, the color tone and texture are limited, but according to the film sheet, it is possible to prepare in advance one having abundant color variations and various decorations (characters, figures, patterns) Therefore, the appearance can be easily improved. In particular, special patterns such as wood grain patterns and metal patterns can be easily formed, and as in the present embodiment, by forming such a decoration on the inner surface side of the substrate 10, the printed portion is the substrate 10 And the decorative part is not peeled off.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the film sheet is attached to be wound on the exterior component, and the film sheet intervenes between the adjacent exterior components. It is possible to effectively prevent the deterioration due to the presence of water, and to enhance the waterproof effect by such an intervening state. That is, since the film sheet is slightly elastically deformed, the adhesion between the exterior parts is improved, and the waterproof effect and the damping effect can be enhanced (the conventional rubber seal member is used. There is no need to arrange it).

  The rear end cap 25 on which the film sheet 1 as described above is attached is fixed to the reel main body 1 by screwing the fixing member (screw) 26, but its joint portion (formed on the rear end cap As shown in FIG. 4, the screw hole is formed by recessing the surface of the rear end cap in a mortar shape to form a recess 25A, and forming a screw hole 25B into which the screw 26 is screwed in the bottom of the recess 25A. It is preferable to do.

  That is, the portion to which the screw 26 is screwed is not cut substantially perpendicularly to the surface thereof to form a screw hole at the bottom thereof, but is recessed in a mortar shape so that It is possible to improve the adhesion. Alternatively, instead of forming a screw hole on the surface of the exterior part, a boss may be formed on the back side of the exterior part so as to form a screw hole, and screwing may be performed from the inside. As described above, the back surface of the exterior component can be made not to adhere to the film sheet 1, so by fixing the exterior component from the inside, the adhesion and the appearance of the film sheet on the front side can be improved. The film surface can be damaged, and moisture and foreign matter can be prevented from entering the inside.

  The above-described spinning reel is mounted with a rotor (exterior part) which is a rotating body, and such an external part fixed to the rotor or the rotor (a rotor cover body attached to an arm of the rotor, etc.) It is also possible to apply a film sheet. In the past, this part was plated and painted, but plating and painting are surface-treated and their film thickness and weight can be determined, so deviations from the ideal set value occur, which degrades the rotational balance. However, according to the film sheet 1 as described above, high-precision film thickness and weight control become easy and reliable, so the quality of the rotating body as the exterior part is exceptional It is possible to improve the balance design of the rotating body with high accuracy.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of a reel body of a fishing reel (double-bearing type reel) according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
As is well known, the reel body 31 of the double-bearing type reel 30 is configured by screwing a cover member 32 which is an exterior part on both left and right sides. The cover member 32 is a portion which is gripped by the angler's palm at the time of actual fishing, and in the case of a metallic appearance, conventionally, it is a portion to which a surface treatment is applied by plating.

  Since the plating is metal, it feels cold when it is squeezed (in particular, it feels cold in winter fishing), but the film sheet 1 described above is applied to the surface of the cover member 32. Then, it becomes possible to relieve the coldness. In addition, since the film sheet 1 has some elasticity, it can improve grip feeling and is less slippery than metal, so that the grip feeling can be improved. In particular, the surface of the base can be made more resistant to slippage by embossing.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, the film sheet which concerns on this invention is not limited to above-described embodiment, It is possible to adhere to various parts. For example, the operability and feel can be improved by attaching to a portion touched by a finger, such as a thumb rest, a handle knob for winding and operating a fishing line, a drag knob, a clutch lever, a counter cover, etc. Is possible. Furthermore, it is possible to apply to the exterior parts of various reels, such as a single bearing type reel and an electric reel.
