By the way, the fishing reel is manufactured with a certain degree of versatility in consideration of the fishing method at the time of actual fishing and the target fish. The drag device is also designed to be strong enough to withstand the maximum tightening force of human power, including the response to the rush during actual fishing. For this reason, there is a risk that the drag device will become larger and heavier due to the thickening of the component parts and the selection of a material having strength.

In particular, the increase in size and weight of the drag device is difficult to use and has poor operability for fishing, as opposed to fishing in which delicate operations are performed using a mechanism using a thin fishing line such as light fishing, which has gained popularity in recent years.

The present invention has been created to solve such a problem, and it is possible to design the optimum strength according to the tension of the fishing line due to the winding of the fishing line and the feeding of the fishing line, and it is possible to reduce the weight. The subject is to provide a reel for fishing.

In order to solve the above problems, the fishing reel according to the present invention includes a support shaft provided on the reel body, a rotating body rotatably supported by the support shaft and rotating by feeding out the fishing thread, and the rotating body. It is provided with a braking member for braking the rotation of the rotating body, and a drag device for applying a braking force to the rotating body by pressing the braking member with an adjusting body. The fishing reel is provided with a regulating unit that regulates the pressing of the braking member by the adjusting body within a predetermined range.

In this fishing reel, the pressing of the braking member by the adjusting body is restricted to a predetermined range by the regulating portion, and the braking member is prevented from being pressed beyond the predetermined range. As a result, it is possible to prevent an excessive load from acting on the adjusting body and the braking member. Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage to the drag device due to excessive tightening of the regulator. Further, since the tension applied to the fishing line at the time of winding the fishing line at the time of actual fishing and at the time of feeding the fishing line can be specified, the reel can be designed with the optimum strength according to the tension. This eliminates the need to design the reel to a strength that can withstand the maximum tightening force of human power, and makes it possible to reduce the weight. Therefore, the operability of fishing is improved, and it is possible to comfortably perform fishing in which a delicate operation is performed by a mechanism using a thin fishing line such as light fishing.

Further, it is preferable that the adjusting body includes a pressing portion for pressing the braking member, and the regulating portion is provided on the outer surface side of the support shaft. In this case, it is preferable that the pressing portion of the adjusting body is restricted to a predetermined range by abutting the pressing portion against the regulating portion.

In this fishing reel, the tension applied to the fishing line can be defined by a simple configuration in which the pressing portion of the adjusting body abuts on the regulating portion on the outer surface side of the support shaft. Therefore, the productivity is excellent and the cost can be reduced.

Further, it is preferable that the restricting portion is a member separate from the support shaft and is fitted to the support shaft so as to prevent rotation. With such a configuration, a regulating portion can be easily provided on the support shaft, the productivity is excellent, and the cost can be reduced.

Further, when the rotating body is a spool that is frictionally coupled to the support shaft via the braking member, the adjusting body is attached to the tip of the support shaft so as to be able to advance and retreat by screwing, and the braking is performed. It is preferable to press the member.

With this configuration, the pressure of the spool by screwing the adjuster on the braking member is restricted to a predetermined range, so the tension applied to the fishing line during actual fishing when winding the fishing line or when feeding the fishing line can be specified. The weight of the reel can be reduced by the optimum strength design according to the tension. As a result, the operability of fishing is improved, and it is possible to comfortably perform fishing in which delicate operations are performed by a mechanism using a thin fishing line such as light fishing.

According to the present invention, it is possible to design an optimum strength according to the tension of the fishing line due to the winding of the fishing line and the feeding of the fishing line, and it is possible to obtain a fishing reel capable of reducing the weight.

Hereinafter, a spinning reel for fishing to which the embodiment of the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. In the description of the embodiment, when referring to "up and down" and "front and back", the direction shown in FIG. 1 is used as a reference.

As shown in FIG. 1, the spinning reel for fishing includes a reel body 1 in which a leg portion 1A for mounting on a fishing rod (not shown) is formed, a rotor 2 rotatably provided in front of the reel body 1, and a rotor 2. It includes a spool (rotating body) 3 provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction in synchronization with the rotational movement of the rotor 2, and a drag device (drag mechanism) 20.

A handle shaft 4 is rotatably supported on the reel body 1 via a bearing (not shown), and a handle 5 to be wound is attached to a protruding end portion (not shown). A shaft cylinder (not shown) is fixed to the handle shaft 4 by being stopped from rotating. A drive gear 6 having internal teeth for winding and driving the rotor 2 is integrally formed on the shaft cylinder. The drive gear 6 meshes with the pinion gear 8a of the drive shaft cylinder 8 having a cavity extending in the direction orthogonal to the handle shaft 4 and extending in the axial direction inside.

The drive shaft cylinder 8 is rotatably supported via a bearing, and a spool shaft (support shaft) 9 that extends in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft 4 and has a spool 3 attached to the tip side thereof in the hollow portion thereof. Is movably inserted and supported in the axial direction.

Further, the drive shaft cylinder 8 is provided with a rolling type known one-way clutch (not shown) attached to the intermediate portion thereof, and by rotating the switching member 1c attached to the outside of the reel body 1, one The directional clutch is configured to switch between an active state and a non-actuated state. In this case, by switching the switching member 1c to the operating state, rotation of the handle 5 (rotor 2) in the reverse direction (rotation in the fishing line discharge direction) is prevented.

The rotor 2 includes a cylindrical portion 2b located in the skirt portion 3a of the spool 3, and a pair of arm portions 2c and 2d. Bale support members 2e and 2f are rotatably supported between the fishing thread winding position and the fishing thread release position at the front ends of the arm portions 2c and 2d, and between these bale supporting members 2e and 2f. Is provided with 2 g of a bale that picks up the fishing thread in the released state. One base end of the bale 2g is attached to a fishing line guide portion 2h integrally provided on the bale support member 2e, and the other base end is attached to the bale support member 2f.

A known spool reciprocating device 9a for moving the spool shaft 9 back and forth is provided at the rear end of the spool shaft 9.

As shown in FIG. 2, a male screw 9f for mounting the adjusting body 21 described later of the drag device 20 is formed on the front end portion of the spool shaft 9. Further, the front portion 9e of the spool shaft 9 is formed with a pair of straight portions 9b (planar portions, only one side is shown in FIG. 2) formed by D-cutting the outer peripheral surface. As shown in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional shape of the outer peripheral surface of the front portion 9e is vertically formed between the two upper and lower arc portions 9c and 9c and the arc portions 9c and 9c extending in an arc shape in the left-right direction when viewed from the axial direction. It is provided with two straight portions 9b and 9b extending in the direction, and the cross-sectional shape is formed into a substantially oval shape (non-circular shape).

As shown in FIG. 2, the spool 3 includes a skirt portion 3a, a front flange 3b, and a fishing line winding body portion 3c formed between them and around which a fishing line is wound.
The spool 3 is positioned on the spool shaft 9 with the rear end portion of the spool 3 in contact with the support member 40 attached to the spool shaft 9.

The support member 40 is arranged inside the skirt portion 3a. The support member 40 includes a flat plate circular base portion 40a and an annular wall portion 44 provided on the base portion 40a and supporting the click claw spring 43.
The support member 40 includes an inner peripheral surface 41 corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the outer peripheral surface of the front portion 9e of the spool shaft 9, and is provided at a boundary portion between the front portion 9e of the spool shaft 9 and the rear portion 9e1 having a circular cross section. It is abutted and locked from the front side in the axial direction with respect to the provided step portion 9k. Then, the rear end portion 3f of the radial inner portion 3d1 described later and the rear end portion 32 of the holding member 30 described later are in contact with the front surface of the base portion 40a of the support member 40.

Inside the fishing line winding body 3c, a peripheral wall 3c1 that partitions the inner space of the fishing line winding body 3c back and forth is formed. The radial inner portion 3d1 of the peripheral wall 3c1 projects rearward. A circular hole 3d is formed in the central portion of the radial inner portion 3d1, and the spool shaft 9 is inserted into the hole 3d via a holding member 30 that functions as a regulating portion.

The holding member 30 is a tubular member that is externally fitted to the front portion 9e of the spool shaft 9, and has a substantially oval shape (non-circular shape) whose inner cross-sectional shape corresponds to the outer shape of the front portion 9e of the spool shaft 9. Is presenting. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional shape of the inner peripheral surface of the holding member 30 is, as shown in FIG. It is provided with two straight portions 33b and 33b extending in the vertical direction between them, and the cross-sectional shape is formed into a substantially oval shape (non-circular shape). As a result, the holding member 30 is mounted on the front portion 9e of the spool shaft 9 to prevent rotation. Further, the holding member 30 also has a substantially oval shape (non-circular shape) corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the outer surface, and is vertically and vertically between the arc convex portions 34c and 34c and the arc convex portions 34c and 34c. It includes two straight portions 34b and 34b extending in the direction. As a result, the spool 3 is rotatably supported in contact with the arc convex portions 34c and 34c (parts other than the two straight portions 34b and 34b) on the outer peripheral surface of the holding member 30.
The rear end portion 32 of the holding member 30 is arranged flush with the rear end surface 3f of the radial inner portion 3d1 of the peripheral wall 3c1.

An annular front recess 3A that opens forward is formed on the front side of the peripheral wall 3c1 of the fishing line winding body 3c. The braking member 22 described later of the drag device 20 is housed in the front recess 3A.
In the front recess 3A, a peripheral groove portion 3g extending in the circumferential direction of the recess is formed on the inner surface of the fishing line winding body portion 3c. A retaining member 3h for preventing the braking member 22 from falling off is fitted in the peripheral groove portion 3g.

The drag device 20 includes a braking member 22 that engages with the front and rear groove portions 3j of the spool 3 and the outer surface of the holding member 30 to give a braking force to the spool 3, and an adjusting body 21 that adjusts the braking force of the braking member 22. ing.

The braking member 22 includes a rotating side braking plate 23 having a protrusion engaged with the two front and rear groove portions 3j formed on the outer peripheral edge, and a pair of fixed side braking plates 24 and 24 sandwiching the rotating side braking plate 23 from the front and rear directions. A lining material 25 interposed between the braking plates and on the front surface side of the peripheral wall 3c1 is provided.
The rotary side braking plate 23 is rotatably supported by the spool shaft 9 (holding member 30) so that it can rotate together with the spool 3.

Further, the fixed side braking plate 24 is non-rotatably supported by the holding member 30 (spool shaft 9). Therefore, the pair of fixed-side braking plates 24, 24 exert a frictional resistance force on the rotating-side braking plates 23 that rotate together with the spool 3 via the lining material 25.
When the force acting on the fishing line is equal to or greater than the frictional resistance force acting on the rotating side braking plate 23, the rotating side braking plate 23 and the spool 3 rotate and the fishing line is unwound.

Further, the rotating side braking plate 23, the pair of fixed side braking plates 24, 24, and the lining material 25 are supported so as to be movable in the axial direction with respect to the holding member 30. Therefore, as will be described later, when the pressing force received from the pressing portion 26 of the adjusting body 21 (see arrow A1 in FIG. 2) increases, the frictional resistance acting on the rotating side braking plate 23 increases, and the spool 3 rotates. It becomes difficult to do.

The adjusting body 21 includes a pressing portion 26 for pressing the braking member 22, an operating member 27 rotatably supported by the spool shaft 9, and a coil spring (pressing pressure applying member) 28 that applies a pressing force to the pressing portion 26. And.

The pressing portion 26 is a bottomed cylindrical member that opens forward, and houses the coil spring 28 inside.
The bottom portion 26a of the pressing portion 26 is located on the front side of the braking member 22, and the rear surface of the bottom portion 26a is in contact with the front fixed side braking plate 24 of the pair of fixed side braking plates 24.
A through hole 26b penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the bottom portion 26a, and the front portion 9e of the spool shaft 9 is inserted into the through hole 26b. The shape of the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 26b is formed so that the cross-sectional shape is substantially oval (non-circular), following the outer shape of the front portion 9e of the spool shaft 9.

The inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing portion 26 are formed in a substantially circular shape. A seal member 26c is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the pressing portion 26. The tip of the seal member 26c is in contact with the inner peripheral edge of the tip of the front recess 3A. As a result, seawater, dust, and the like are prevented from adhering to the braking member 22.
The pressing portion 26 is inseparably connected to the rear portion of the operating member 27 via a locking member 27a. The pressing portion 26 is rotatable relative to the operating member 27 and is relatively movable in the axial direction.

The operating member 27 includes a nut member 27e screwed into the male screw 9f of the spool shaft 9 and a drag knob 27d that fits the nut member 27e so as to be non-rotatable and movable in the axial direction.
A finger hook portion 27d1 gripped by a fisherman is formed on the front portion of the drag knob 27d. When the fisherman grips the finger hook portion 27d1 and rotates the drag knob 27d, the nut member 27e rotates together with the drag knob 27d, and the nut member 27e moves forward or backward.
Inside the drag knob 27d, a click engaging element 27g that generates a click sound when the drag knob 27d is rotated is housed.

The coil spring 28 is arranged between the bottom portion 26a of the pressing portion 26 and the nut member 27e. Further, the coil spring 28 is assembled in a state of being contracted in the axial direction. Therefore, an urging force that moves rearward by the coil spring 28 is constantly acting on the pressing portion 26.
When the drag knob 27d is rotated and the nut member 27e moves rearward, the urging force of the coil spring 28 (the pressing force applied to the pressing portion 26) increases.
On the other hand, when the drag knob 27d is rotated and the nut member 27e moves forward, the urging force of the coil spring 28 (the pressing force applied to the pressing portion 26) becomes smaller.

In the present embodiment, the urging force of the coil spring 28 acts on the braking member 22 (fixed side braking plate 24) via the pressing portion 26 by the rotation operation of the drag knob 27d, that is, the braking member 22 is pressed. As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom portion 26a of the pressing portion 26 forms a gap S with the front end portion 33 of the holding member 30 in a state where the drag force (braking force) is generated. Therefore, it is possible to apply the pressing force to the braking member 22 by moving the pressing portion 26 rearward by rotating the drag knob 27d by the size of the gap S. The size of the gap S corresponds to a range (predetermined range) of braking force that can be adjusted by the adjusting body 21.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the pressing portion 26 moves rearward and the gap S (see FIG. 2) is closed by the rotation operation of the drag knob 27d, the bottom portion 26a of the pressing portion 26 becomes the front end portion 33 of the holding member 30. The contact and the rearward movement of the pressing portion 26 are restricted. As a result, even if the drag knob 27d is further rotated, the pressing force is prevented from being applied to the braking member 22, and it is regulated that the drag force is generated beyond a predetermined range.
In this way, by adjusting the relative positional relationship (the size of the gap S) between the bottom portion 26a of the pressing portion 26 and the front end portion 33 of the holding member 30, a drag force within a predetermined range is generated. can do.

According to the fishing reel of the present embodiment described above, the pressing of the braking member 22 by the adjusting body 21 is restricted to a predetermined range by the holding member 30 that functions as a regulating portion, and the braking member 22 keeps the predetermined range. It is prevented from being pressed beyond. As a result, it is possible to prevent an excessive load (external force, pressing force) from acting on the adjusting body 21 and the braking member 22. Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage to the drag device 20 due to excessive tightening of the adjusting body 21. Further, since the tension applied to the fishing line at the time of winding the fishing line at the time of actual fishing and at the time of feeding the fishing line can be specified, the reel can be configured by the optimum strength design according to the tension. This eliminates the need to design the reel to a strength that can withstand the maximum tightening force of human power, and makes it possible to reduce the weight. Therefore, the operability of fishing is improved, and it is possible to comfortably perform fishing in which a delicate operation is performed by a mechanism using a thin fishing line such as light fishing.

Further, the tension applied to the fishing line can be defined by a simple configuration in which the pressing portion 26 of the adjusting body 21 abuts on the front end portion 33 of the holding member 30 located on the outer surface of the spool shaft 9. Therefore, the productivity is excellent and the cost can be reduced.

Further, since the holding member 30 is a separate member from the spool shaft 9 and is fitted to the spool shaft 9 in a non-rotating manner, a regulating portion (holding member 30) can be easily provided on the spool shaft 9 for productivity. Excellent and cost reduction can be achieved.

Further, since the pressure of the spool 3 against the braking member 22 by the screwing of the adjusting body 21 is restricted to a predetermined range, the tension applied to the fishing line at the time of winding the fishing line at the time of actual fishing or at the time of feeding the fishing line can be defined, and the tension can be adjusted to the tension. It is possible to reduce the weight of the reel by the optimum strength design according to it. As a result, the operability of fishing is improved, and it is possible to comfortably perform fishing in which delicate operations are performed by a mechanism using a thin fishing line such as light fishing.

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.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention has been applied to a spinning reel for fishing, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to a double-bearing type fishing reel for fishing.
In this case, a holding member as a regulating portion is attached to a handle shaft or the like provided with a braking member. Then, the pressing portion is configured to move toward the braking member by operating the star drag that serves as the adjusting body. For example, the drive gear that is frictionally welded to the handle shaft, which is rotated by the feeding of the fishing line, is configured to be pressed by the pressing portion, and the pressing portion is configured to come into contact with the holding member. As a result, the axial pressing force of the braking member due to the rotation operation of the star drag is regulated within a predetermined range.

Further, although the cylindrical holding member 30 is shown as the regulating portion, the present invention is not limited to this, as long as the movement of the pressing portion 26 is restricted and the pressing against the braking member 22 is regulated within a predetermined range. , Various shapes and forms can be adopted. For example, the pressing portion is configured to move to a braking member that adjusts the frictional coupling force of a rotating body (spool, drive gear, etc.) that rotates by feeding out the fishing thread, and the movement of the pressing portion to this braking member is restricted. The pressure on the braking member may be restricted to a predetermined range.

Further, a restricting portion may be provided at a radial outer position away from the spool shaft 9 so as to come into contact with the pressing portion 26.

Further, a protrusion or the like may be provided integrally or separately on the outer peripheral surface of the spool shaft 9, and this may be used as a regulating portion. With such a configuration, a fishing reel that can be further simplified, has excellent productivity, and can reduce costs can be obtained.
