Description

The present invention relates to a fishing reel used for fishing, and more particularly to a handle of a fishing reel and a fishing reel that are rotated during a fishing thread winding operation.

Conventionally, for example, in fishing reels typified by spinning reels and double-bearing reels, the knob portion (handle knob) of the handle is used to improve the winding operability of the fishing thread and the actual fishing operation (shaking, etc.). The weight of the reel is reduced and the operability and grip are improved.

The handle knob is a portion mainly held by the thumb and the index finger, and in Patent Document 1, an opening is formed in a part (a part of the surface) of the holding region of the handle knob, and the handle arm is formed in this portion. A configuration is disclosed in which a part of a tubular shaft rotatably arranged with respect to a support shaft attached to the tip of the shaft is exposed and the abdomen of the finger is brought into contact with the shaft. Further, Patent Document 2 has a configuration in which a handle knob is rotatably supported on a support shaft attached to the tip of a handle arm, and a substantially elliptical opening (recess) is formed in the handle knob so as to expose the support shaft. Is disclosed. When both of the above-mentioned handle knobs are sandwiched between the thumb and the index finger, the abdomen of the handle knobs can come into contact with the cylinder shaft and the support shaft, so that it is possible to detect the fish signal transmitted through the fishing rod.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-61123 Patent No. 5739798

The configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above is lightweight because it only exposes a part of the outer surface of the tubular shaft that is rotatably mounted on the support shaft by covering the outer peripheral surface with the picking body. There is a problem that it cannot be achieved sufficiently and the handle is inadvertently rotated due to its own weight. Further, in the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 2 described above, the abdomen of the finger can be brought into contact with the support shaft through the opening, but since the handle knob rotates while the support shaft is fixed, the abdomen of the pinched finger can be used. There is a problem that the friction of the wheel becomes large, a feeling of strangeness occurs, and the operability is not good. Furthermore, since there is a distance between the surface of the handle knob and the surface of the support shaft (the knob is thick) and only the finger touches the support shaft, it is not possible to reduce the weight sufficiently, and the operation when picking is performed. The sex is not stable either.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above-mentioned problems, and provides a handle for a fishing reel and a reel for fishing, which can reduce the weight of the handle knob and have good operability when the handle is rotated. The purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises an arm portion connected to a handle shaft, a support shaft attached to the arm portion, and a handle knob rotatably attached to the support shaft to prevent it from coming off. The handle of the fishing reel provided is provided with a collar that is rotatably fitted to the outer circumference of the support shaft, and the outer circumference of the collar can be pinched by a finger through an opening formed in the handle knob. It is characterized in that it is exposed so as to be.

When the handle knob having the above configuration is pinched with a finger, the collar itself rotatably fitted to the outer periphery of the support shaft can be sandwiched through the opening formed in the handle knob. That is, since the collar is exposed so that it can be held by a finger from the opening formed in the handle knob, the opening of the handle knob becomes large and the weight can be reduced. In addition, since the collar is rotatable, the friction generated on the abdomen of the fingers when pinched together with the handle knob is reduced, improving operability, and the contours on both sides that define the collar surface and the opening of the handle knob. Since the abdomen can be brought into contact with each other at three places to rotate, the operability can be stabilized.

The above-mentioned handle of the fishing reel can be attached to various fishing reels such as spinning reels, double bearing reels, and single bearing reels, and the handle knob is lightened, so the handle rotates carelessly. A fishing reel with good winding operability can be obtained.

According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a handle for a fishing reel that can reduce the weight of the handle knob and have good operability, and further, the weight of the reel as a whole can be reduced and the winding operability is good. Reel for use is obtained.

The figure which shows an example (spinning reel) of the fishing reel which concerns on this invention. The figure which looked at the fishing reel shown in FIG. 1 from the rear side. It is a side view which shows the handle knob part of the handle of the fishing reel shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the handle knob shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG.

Hereinafter, the handle of the fishing reel and the embodiment of the fishing reel according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First, the fishing reel according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

1 and 2 show an example of a spinning reel as a fishing reel.
As is known, the reel body 1A of the spinning reel 1 is provided with a rotor 2 rotatably supported and a spool 3 rotatably supported in synchronization with the rotational movement of the rotor 2. .. Further, a handle shaft is rotatably supported in the reel body 1A, and a handle 10 is attached to the handle shaft. The handle 10 is rotatably attached to an arm portion 12 connected to a handle shaft, a support shaft 15 attached to an end portion of the arm portion 12 (see FIGS. 3 to 5), and a support shaft 15. It is provided with a handle knob 20 (the configuration of the handle 10 will be described later).

The arm portion 12 includes a rotation base portion 12A mounted on the handle shaft on the base end side, and a support portion 12B on which the handle knob 20 is mounted on the tip end side, and is between the rotation base portion 12A and the support portion 12B. Is curved as shown in FIG. By forming the arm portion 12 in a curved shape in this way, the rotation operation position can be brought closer to the reel main body side, and it is possible to suppress the shake of the main body during the rotation operation. The number of arm portions 12 may be plurality, and a support shaft may be provided at the tip of each arm portion, and a handle knob 20 having the same shape may be attached to each arm portion 12. Further, the arm portion 12 is a fiber reinforced resin obtained by impregnating a metal such as a titanium alloy, stainless steel, a copper alloy or an alumini alloy, a hard resin such as polyacetal or nylon, or a reinforcing fiber such as carbon fiber with a synthetic resin. It can be formed of wood (FRP).

In the above configuration, when the handle knob 20 is pinched (picked with the thumb and index finger or the thumb and middle finger) and rotated, the rotor 2 is rotationally driven via a known driving force transmission mechanism provided in the reel body. At the same time, the spool 3 is reciprocated back and forth, and the fishing thread is evenly wound around the spool 3 via the fishing thread guide portion 2b provided at one tip of the pair of arms 2a of the rotor 2.

The configuration of the handle 10 mounted on the spinning reel described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
In the following description, the handle knob 20 attached to the tip of the arm portion 12 of the handle 10 will be described in detail. Further, in the following, in order to make the configuration of the handle knob easier to understand, the expressions "axial direction" and "vertical direction" are used, but the "axial direction" here means the rotation axis of the support shaft 15. It means the extending direction (X direction in FIG. 3), and the vertical direction is a direction orthogonal to the axial direction, and when the angler picks the handle knob, the abdomen of each finger approaches / separates. It means a direction (Y direction in FIG. 3).

Like the arm portion 12, the support shaft 15 can be formed of a metal, a hard resin, or a fiber-reinforced resin material, and in the support portion 12B at the tip of the arm portion 12, the fixed end portion 15a thereof is, for example, It is integrally fixed to the tip of the arm by press-fitting, caulking, screwing, etc. The support shaft 15 is formed in a cylindrical shape or a cylindrical shape having a circular cross section, and the cross-sectional shape is not particularly limited as long as the outer fitting collar 25 described later can be rotated. Further, a flange 15b is integrally formed on the base end side of the support shaft 15, and a screw hole 15c extending in the axial direction is formed on the tip surface.

A collar 25 is rotatably fitted onto the outer peripheral surface of the support shaft 15. The collar 25 can be directly picked (held by the abdomen of the fingers) with the thumb and the index finger (or the thumb and the middle finger) through the opening 21 formed in the handle knob 20. The constituent material of the color 25 is not limited, but it is preferable to form it with a resin material so as to reduce the weight, and in consideration of the improvement of fish signal sensitivity and the strength, the wall thickness t thereof. Is preferably formed in the range of 0.3 to 1.0 mm.

A handle knob 20 is rotatably mounted on the support shaft 15 to prevent it from coming off. The handle knob 20 is formed in a flat shape by, for example, a soft resin such as urethane or soft vinyl chloride (PVC), a cork material, a rubber material, or the like, and a support shaft 15 (color 25) is inserted at the center position thereof. A through hole 20a is formed. Further, an opening 21 for exposing the collar 25 fitted to the support shaft 15 is formed on the surface of the handle knob 20. The opening 21 of the present embodiment has a substantially elliptical shape, and is formed so as to penetrate in the vertical direction from the tip end side of the support shaft 15 to the base end side when mounted on the support shaft 15. The outer circumference of the outer collar 25 is exposed through the opening 21 so that it can be pinched by fingers.

Specifically, the opening 21 is formed so that both outer peripheral edges 25a of the collar 25 are exposed when the handle knob 20 is viewed in a plan view from the vertical direction, and is between the outer peripheral edge 25a and the inner edge 21a of the opening 21. In addition, a large gap (gap of 0.5 to 5 mm) S is formed in the axial direction. That is, by forming the opening 21 as described above in the handle knob 20, the contour portion (the narrow bridge portion that defines the opening) that the abdomen of the pinched finger comes into contact with the gap S is interposed. 20A is provided on both sides of the collar 25, and the contour portions 20A on both sides are sandwiched at three places together with the surface of the collar 25 when the handle knob 20 is pinched by the thumb and the index finger (or the thumb and the middle finger). Effective weight reduction is possible by forming the opening 21 in which the abdomen of the thumb is brought into contact with the abdomen in a stable state and a gap S is formed.

Like the collar 25, the handle knob 20 is rotatably supported with respect to the support shaft 15. In the present embodiment, the handle knob 20 can be rotated by forming recesses 20b and 20c on both ends of the handle knob 20 and arranging bearings 30 and 31 between the portions and the surface of the support shaft. Supports. In this case, for the bearings 30 and 31, for example, a rolling type bearing, a collar bearing, or the like can be used, and the configuration thereof is not limited.

The handle knob 20 may be supported so as to be relatively rotatable in relation to the collar 25, or may be supported so as to be integrally rotatable with the collar 25. In the present embodiment, both ends of the collar 25 are press-fitted into the ring members 33 and 34, and the inner surface of the through hole 20a of the handle knob 20 is adhered to the outer peripheral surface of the ring members 33 and 34 to bond the handle knob 20 and the collar 25. Is configured to be integrally rotatable. The collar 25 is positioned in the axial direction by being applied to both sides of the bearings 30 and 31 in the axial direction via the ring members 33 and 34, and can rotate integrally with the handle knob 20 in a stable state. It has become.

Since the handle knob 20 having the above configuration is integrated with the collar 25, the bearings 30 and 31 are loaded in the recesses 20b and 20c on both sides thereof, and in this state, the bearings 30 and 31 are inserted through the support shaft 15 and the bearing 30 is inserted. Is attached to the flange 15b of the support shaft 15 to position the support shaft 15. In this state, the bearing 31 and the handle knob 20 are prevented from coming off by screwing the screw 40 (see FIG. 1) into the screw hole 15c from the outside in the axial direction, and the handle knob 20 is attached to the support shaft 15. It can be assembled so that it can rotate integrally with the collar 25. The bearing 31 and the handle knob 20 may be prevented from coming off by a press-fitting pin, a retaining ring, or the like, and the configuration is not limited.

According to the handle 10 described above, the collar 25 is exposed from the opening 21 formed in the handle knob 20 so that it can be pinched by fingers. Therefore, the handle knob 20 is pinched by fingers and at the same time on the outer periphery of the collar 25. A finger can be applied, and the surface of the collar 25 and the abdomen of the finger sandwiched between the contour portions 20A on both sides of the opening 21 of the handle knob 20 can be brought into contact with each other. As a result, the rotation operation can be performed in a state where the position of the finger is stable, so that an operation feeling equivalent to that of the handle knob having no opening can be obtained, and the winding operability can be improved. Further, according to the configuration in which the abdomen of the finger sandwiched between the three places is brought into contact with each other, it is possible to form a large opening and effectively reduce the weight without impairing the operability.

Further, since the outer surface of the collar 25 is largely exposed, it feels as if the collar 25 is directly picked, and the fish signal sensitivity can be improved. Since the collar 25 can rotate around the outer circumference of the support shaft 15, the handle knob 20 and the handle knob 20 can be rotated. Friction generated in the abdomen of the finger when picked is reduced, and operability can be improved. In particular, since the collar 25 of the present embodiment is configured to rotate integrally with the support shaft 15 in a pinched state with the handle knob 20, the discomfort caused by friction is reduced, and the winding operation can be performed stably. Is possible. Further, in the above configuration, the handle knob 20 and the collar 25, which is a shaft portion visibly exposed through the opening 21, can be easily replaced, so that the color, material, transparency, etc. can be individually changed by the user. It can be changed, and the design and customizability can be improved.

In the above configuration, when the outer diameter of the collar 25 is D and the wall thickness at the opening 21 of the handle knob 20 is T, the collar 25 and the handle knob 20 are formed so that D> T. Is preferable.

When the handle knob 20 having the opening 21 formed as described above is held by a finger, the stability of the finger held by the contour portions 20A on both sides defining the opening 21 can be achieved. The thickness, that is, the wall thickness T of the contour portion 20A can be formed thin, which makes it possible to further reduce the weight of the handle knob 20. Further, in such a configuration, since the diameter of the collar 25 is large, it is possible to obtain a feeling of directly pinching the portion of the collar 25, and it is possible to further improve the fish signal sensitivity.

It should be noted that the wall thickness T is preferably formed to be about 3 to 6 mm because sufficient strength cannot be secured if it is made too thin. Further, the wall thickness T of the contour portion 20A does not have to be uniform in the axial direction, may have a shape in which the wall thickness partially changes, or has a shape in which the wall thickness changes in a tapered shape. You may.

Further, it is preferable to provide a movement restricting portion for restricting the axial movement of the picked finger at least outside the axial direction of the handle knob 20 described above. The movement restricting portion of the present embodiment is composed of a bulging portion 20C that bulges in the radial direction with respect to the region (contour portion 20A) in which the opening 21 is formed. The surface of the bulging portion 20C can be formed of a tapered surface or a curved surface that gradually bulges as it moves outward in the axial direction, and is further formed of a composite surface. The shape is not particularly limited.

By providing the movement restricting portion (bulging portion 20C) on the handle knob in this way, the finger is restricted from moving in the axial direction during the rotation operation, and the stable rotation operation can be performed. The amount of swelling of the bulging portion 20C may be set so that the finger does not easily move in the axial direction when the exposed collar portion is sandwiched. For example, in the configuration as in the present embodiment, the amount of swelling may be at least 1 mm or more in the radial direction with respect to the contour portion 20A, and thus swelling even if the finger moves in the axial direction. It is possible to get caught in the part and prevent it from coming off. Further, it is preferable to form a similar bulging portion 20D on the inner side in the axial direction so that the finger does not move.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be variously modified.
The fishing reel to which the above-mentioned handle is mounted is not limited to a double-bearing type reel or a single-bearing type reel. Regarding the overall shape of the handle knob 20 and the shape of the opening 21, the collar 25 externally fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the support shaft 15 is exposed, and a finger is further drawn on the contour formed by the opening 21. Any structure that can be stably contacted can be deformed in various ways. For example, the overall shape of the handle knob is symmetrical in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 3, but it may have an asymmetric structure. Further, the shape of the contour portion that defines the opening can be appropriately deformed.
