Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a left / right winding switching mechanism of a single-bearing reel, and more specifically, a fishing system capable of switching the rotation direction of a spool according to the purpose of use. The right-and-left winding switching mechanism of a single-bearing reel for use.

[Related Art] Generally, in a reel of this type, a fishing line is wound on a spool by turning a handle clockwise (clockwise) for right-handed winding and left-handed (counterclockwise) for left-handed winding. It is convenient to take, but if you mount the reel on the pole with the left and right directions reversed as it is, the rotation direction is reversed and the convenience is poor, so it is necessary to switch the spool between the right winding and left winding .

In conventional reels of this type, a method of switching between left and right winding directions by removing brake claws and replacing them has been adopted. However, in this method,
There has been a problem that parts are lost or replacement parts are large and handling is troublesome.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the applicant has developed a left / right winding direction switching mechanism disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 63-173069, which was completed in advance. This left-right winding direction switching mechanism rotatably supports a brake plate and a spool on the same axis of the reel body, and the brake plate has left-hand and right-hand brake pawls which engage with a ratchet fixed to the spool. To the ratchet side by means of a pawl spring, and attach it by slidably mounting a left-right switching spring that locks each brake pawl and alternately engages and disengages with the ratchet. It consists of That is, the two claws movably fixed to the brake plate have roles corresponding to the left and right directions, respectively, so that the transmission of the braking force can be easily switched in both the left and right directions.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in this type of left-right switching mechanism, problems such as loss of parts and difficulty in handling can be solved, but the number of parts increases the cost and increases the cost. However, there is a problem that assembly is troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a single-bearing reel left-right winding direction switching mechanism that reduces the number of parts, reduces cost, and facilitates assembly and switching of the left-right winding direction. It is something to offer.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a left-right winding direction switching mechanism for a single-bearing reel according to the present invention is provided with a reel body that supports a shaft in a cantilever manner, and is rotatable on the shaft of the reel body. A one-way clutch interposed between the brake plate and the spool and transmitting a braking force from the brake plate to the spool, wherein the one-way clutch is a retainer. While holding
The direction of the retainer in the axial direction is switched so that one end or the other end of the retainer can be selectively mounted on the brake plate.

In the present invention, if the retainer is detachably mounted on the brake plate while holding the one-way clutch, and if the rotation transmission function of the one-way clutch is selected to either the left or right according to the purpose, The form may be arbitrary.For example, the retainer is formed in a cylindrical shape, and left-handed and right-handed protrusions are provided at appropriate positions on the outer periphery thereof.The brake plate has a hole for guiding each protrusion. By providing a mounting groove communicating with the guide hole and extending in the circumferential direction, and mounting either the left-handed or right-handed projection in the mounting groove through the guide hole, the one-way A structure capable of reversing the rotation transmission function of the clutch can be provided.

In this case, the width of the mounting groove may be the same as long as it is a dimension for guiding the projection, but it is preferably formed in an inclined shape that becomes narrower toward the mounting position on the distal end side and frictionally contacts the projection. It is better to get. In addition, it is preferable that a mark or an indication indicating a left-handed direction or a right-handed direction is provided on the direction along the mounting groove of the brake plate and the projection, respectively.

[Operation] With the above configuration, when the reel is used for right-handed winding, after the right-handed projection of the retainer is inserted into the guide hole of the brake plate, it is inserted into the right-handed mounting groove. If it is installed, it can be used right-handed to transmit the braking force from the brake plate to the spool, and when using the reel for left-handed use, remove the retainer from the brake plate and use it for left-handed use of the retainer. After inserting the protrusion into the guide hole of the brake plate, if it is installed in the left-hand mounting groove, the one-way clutch will have the reverse rotation function, so the left-handed winding that transmits the braking force from the brake plate to the spool It can be used.
