The accommodating portion 58 is open toward the rear. The case member 51 is attached to the front surface 3e of the front flange body 3b1 to close the opening of the accommodating portion 58. As a result, a space (accommodating portion 58) closed from the outside is formed inside the case member 51.

An insertion hole 51e is formed in the central portion of the bottom portion 51a. A flange portion 53c, which will be described later, provided in the sounding gear 53 is inserted into the insertion hole 51e.
A support pin 51c projecting rearward is integrally formed on the upper portion of the rear surface of the bottom portion 51a. A mounting portion 54c of the sound output pin 54 is mounted on the support pin 51c. Below the support pin 51c, a space 52k for arranging the sound output pin 54 is formed so as to divide the extending rib 52d provided in the rib 52 in the circumferential direction.

The rib 52 includes a space portion 52a having a substantially U-shape in rear view (see FIG. 6C) surrounded by peripheral ribs 52a1, 52a1 and upper ribs 52c, 52c. The space portion 52a can function as a resonance chamber that resonates the click sound. The outer peripheral rib 52a1 is offset radially inward with respect to the outer peripheral portion 50b of the bottom portion 51a. On the outer surface of the outer peripheral rib 52a1, three engaging convex portions 52j are provided at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. The engaging convex portion 52j has a semi-cylindrical shape. The engaging convex portion 52j can be engaged with the engaging concave portion 3j (see FIG. 2) formed on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 3f1 of the concave portion 55 on the spool 3 side. By this uneven engagement, the case member 51 is fixed to the spool 3 side in a state where rotation is restricted.

The sounding gear 53 has a ring shape. The sounding gear 53 has a ring-shaped gear base 53a and a gear 53b having peaks and valleys formed on the peripheral edge of the gear base 53a and forming uneven portions. And have. The sounding gear 53 corresponds to the second member in the claims, and constitutes a sounding member in which the sound output pin 54 is elastically engaged to sound. The sounding gear 53 is engaged with the spool shaft 8 side as described later.
The inner surface 53d of the gear base 53a is provided with four gear-side locking convex portions 53j at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. The locking convex portion 53j on the gear side has a semi-cylindrical shape. As shown in FIG. 5, the gear-side locking convex portion 53j is located on the rotation locus of the knob-side locking convex portion 47 of the drag knob 40. As will be described later, the gear-side locking convex portion 53j is configured to come into contact with the knob-side locking convex portion 47 from the circumferential direction when the spool 3 rotates with respect to the spool shaft 8 in the fishing thread feeding direction. Has been done.
A ring-shaped flange portion 53c that projects forward is provided at the front portion of the gear base portion 53a. The sounding gear 53 is housed in the housing portion 58 except for the flange portion 53c.

Such a sounding gear 53 is rotatably attached to the rear surface of the bottom portion 51a of the case member 51 by inserting the flange portion 53c into the insertion hole 51e of the case member 51. With the sounding gear 53 attached to the case member 51, the gear 53b is arranged so as to form a gap with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral rib 52a1 inside the case member 51 as shown in FIG. ..

As shown in FIG. 4, the sound output pin 54 includes a metal sound output portion 54a and a spring member 54b mounted on a support portion 54d of the sound output portion 54a. An attachment portion 54c for attaching to the support pin 51c of the case member 51 is formed at the upper end portion of the spring member 54b. As shown in FIG. 5, the sound output portion 54a is arranged in the valley portion of the gear 53b in a state where the attachment portion 54c is attached to the support pin 51c and the sound output pin 54 is arranged in the arrangement space 52k. That is, the sounding gear 53 and the sound output pin 54 are arranged so as to overlap each other in the radial direction of the spool 3.
A part of the sound output portion 54a and the spring member 54b is accommodated in the accommodating portion 58.

Next, mounting of the sounding device 50 and mounting of the drag knob 40 on the recess 55 of the spool 3 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the sounding device 50 is inserted into the recess 55 along the axis of the spool 3, and is mounted so as to abut the front surface 3e which is the mounting surface of the recess 55. In this case, the engaging convex portion 52j is aligned with the engaging concave portion 3j of the peripheral wall portion 3f1 of the concave portion 55, and the sounding device 50 is mounted in a state where these are engaged with each other. As a result, the case member 51 of the sounding device 50 is attached to the spool 3 side in a state of being prevented from rotating.
As shown in FIG. 5, the mounting portion 54c of the sound output pin 54 is also housed in the corresponding engaging recess 3j.
By mounting the sounding device 50 in the recess 55, the rear opening of the case member 51 is closed by the front surface 3e of the recess 55. That is, the accommodating portion 58 of the case member 51 is closed by the front surface 3e of the recess 55.

After the sounding device 50 is attached, the locking ring 56 is locked to the peripheral wall portion 3f1 of the recess 55 to prevent the sounding device 50 from falling off.

After that, the drag knob 40 is attached. In this case, the pressing portion 43 of the drag knob 40 is brought close to the insertion hole 51e of the bottom portion 51a of the sounding device 50, and this is inserted inside the flange portion 53c (sounding gear 53) inserted into the insertion hole 51e. Here, the inner surface 53d of the sounding gear 53 is provided with the gear-side locking convex portion 53j, but the forming interval thereof is as wide as 90 degrees. Therefore, it is possible to preferably prevent the knob-side locking convex portion 47 of the drag knob 40 from interfering with the gear-side locking convex portion 53j during insertion with a degree of play in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the drag knob 40 can be easily inserted. Moreover, complicated positioning work is not required.

After that, the knob portion 42 of the drag knob 40 is screwed in, and the drag knob 40 is screwed into the spool shaft 8 (small diameter portion 8c).
Then, by further screwing the knob portion 42, the pressing portion 43 presses the drag mechanism 20 via the pressing member 21. As a result, a braking force is generated in the drag mechanism 20.

Next, the operation of the sounding device 50 will be described.
When the spool 3 rotates in the fishing thread feeding direction against the braking force of the drag mechanism 20 during actual fishing, the case member 51 fixed to the spool 3 side also rotates in the same direction. When the case member 51 rotates, the sounding gear 53 also rotates in the direction of the arrow X1 in FIG. 5 due to the engaging force of the sound output pin 54 attached to the case member 51.

After that, due to the rotation of the sounding gear 53, the gear-side locking convex portion 53j comes into contact with the knob-side locking convex portion 47 on the drag knob 40 side, and the rotation of the sounding gear 53 is stopped. In this state, when the spool 3 further rotates in the fishing thread feeding direction, the case member 51 rotates integrally with the spool 3, and the sound output pin 54 sequentially gets over the gear 53b and hits the gear 53b. Spontaneously engage. This produces a clicking sound.

In the fishing spinning reel 1 described above, the sound output pin 54 and the gear 53b (pronunciation gear 53) constituting the sounding device 50 are housed in the accommodating portion 58 formed by the case member 51. Therefore, foreign matter such as seawater, sand, and dust is unlikely to adhere to the sound output pin 54 and the gear 53b (pronunciation gear 53). As a result, the good sounding performance of the sounding device 50 can be maintained for a long period of time.

Further, since the sounding device 50 is attached to the front surface 3e of the front flange portion 3b, the acoustic barrier is small and opened, so that there is no possibility that the click sound generated by the sounding device 50 is trapped in the spool 3. It is easy to directly resonate with the outside of 3. Therefore, a click sound that stimulates the sense of sound can be obtained with a crisp sound quality.

Further, since the sounding gear 53 and the sound output pin 54 are arranged in the radial direction of the spool 3, the sounding device 50 can be easily made compact (compact in the axial direction). In addition, the compactness of the sounding device 50 improves the ease of assembly.

Further, since the case member 51 is attached to the front surface 3e of the front flange portion 3b to close the opening of the accommodating portion 58, it is preferable to prevent foreign matter such as seawater, sand, and dust from entering the accommodating portion 58. Can be done. As a result, foreign matter such as seawater, sand, and dust can be prevented from adhering to the sounding gear 53 and the sounding pin 54, and good sounding performance can be maintained for a long period of time.
Further, since it is not necessary to separately prepare a part for closing the opening of the case member 51, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and the cost. Further, the sounding device 50 can be made compact (compact in the axial direction).

Further, since the sound output pin 54 attached to the case member 51 is configured to be elastically engaged with the gear 53b of the sounding gear 53, the structure of the sounding device 50 can be simplified. In addition, since the structure is simple, it is easy to maintain.

As a result, a space (accommodating portion 58) closed from the outside is formed inside the case member 51A.

An insertion hole 51e is formed in the central portion of the bottom portion 51a. The gear base 53a provided in the sounding gear 53A is inserted into the insertion hole 51e.
The four engaging convex portions 52j formed on the outer surface of the outer peripheral rib 52a1 can engage with the engaging concave portion 3j3 formed corresponding to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 3c3 of the rear flange portion 3c. By this uneven engagement, the case member 51A is fixed to the spool 3 side in a state where rotation is restricted.

The sounding gear 53A corresponds to the second member in the claims, and functions as a sounding member to which the sound output pin 54 is elastically engaged. The sounding gear 53A is engaged with the spool shaft 8 side.
The gear-side locking convex portion 53j of the gear base portion 53a is located on the rotation locus of the spool shaft-side locking convex portion 3n2 of the mounting member flange portion 3n1. The gear-side locking convex portion 53j is configured to come into contact with the spool shaft-side locking convex portion 3n2 from the circumferential direction when the spool 3 rotates with respect to the spool shaft 8A in the fishing thread feeding direction.
The sounding gear 53 is housed in the housing portion 58 except for the gear base 53a.

Such a sounding gear 53A is rotatably attached to the front surface of the bottom portion 51a of the case member 51A by inserting the gear base 53a into the insertion hole 51e of the case member 51A. With the sounding gear 53A attached to the case member 51A, the gear 53b is arranged so as to form a gap with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral rib 52a1 inside the case member 51A. The sounding gear 53A and the sound output pin 54 are arranged so as to overlap each other in the radial direction of the spool 3.

The sounding device 50A is attached to the rear surface 3e1 of the rear flange portion 3c by aligning the engaging convex portion 52j with the engaging concave portion 3j3. By mounting the sounding device 50A, the front opening of the case member 51A is closed by the rear surface 3e1 of the rear flange portion 3c. That is, the accommodating portion 58 of the case member 51A is closed by the rear surface 3e1 of the rear flange portion 3c.

Further, in the process of mounting the sounding device 50A, the mounting member flange portion 3n1 of the mounting member 3n is inserted into the insertion hole 53m of the sounding gear 53A. Here, the inner surface 53d of the insertion hole 53m is provided with the gear-side locking convex portion 53j, but the forming interval thereof is as wide as 90 degrees. Therefore, it is possible to preferably prevent the spool shaft side locking convex portion 3n2 of the mounting member 3n from interfering with the gear side locking convex portion 53j with a degree of play in the circumferential direction during insertion. Therefore, complicated positioning work is not required, and the sounding device 50A can be easily attached.

Also in the fishing spinning reel 1 of the present embodiment, the sound output pin 54 and the gear 53b (pronunciation gear 53A) constituting the sounding device 50A are housed in the accommodating portion 58 formed by the case member 51A. Therefore, foreign matter such as seawater, sand, and dust is unlikely to adhere to the sound output pin 54 and the gear 53b (pronunciation gear 53A). As a result, the good sounding performance of the sounding device 50A can be maintained for a long period of time.

Further, since the case member 51A is attached to the rear surface 3e1 of the rear flange portion 3c to close the opening of the accommodating portion 58, it is preferable to prevent foreign matter such as seawater, sand, and dust from entering the accommodating portion 58. Can be done. As a result, foreign matter such as seawater, sand, and dust can be prevented from adhering to the sounding gear 53A and the sounding pin 54, and good sounding performance can be maintained for a long period of time.
Further, since it is not necessary to separately prepare a part for closing the opening of the case member 51A, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and the cost. Further, the sounding device 50A can be made compact (compact in the axial direction).

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be variously modified.
In the first embodiment, the sounding device 50 is arranged inside the front flange portion 3b, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sounding device 50 may be arranged in front of the front flange portion 3b.

In the first and second embodiments, the sound output member using the sound output pin 54 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sound output member is elastically engaged with the sound output member to generate a click sound. As long as it can be generated, various materials such as leaf springs can be adopted.
