Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly, to a device for informing the length of a fishing line fed from a rotating body that winds the fishing line.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a device for reporting the fishing line payout amount, there is a device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-151368 or Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-244248, and the former of these references is, The feeding amount of the fishing line is notified by a digital number based on the rotation of the roller that comes into contact with the fishing line wound on the rotating body, and in the latter reference, the fishing line is based on the rotation speed of the rotating body. The feed amount is notified by a digital number. In the former case, the device is mounted on the reel body and used, and in the latter case, the device is used in a state of being built in the reel body.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Here, considering the above-mentioned reference, the former one of the references has a structure in which the roller is rotated by contact with the fishing line, so that the amount of the fishing line to be paid out can be obtained regardless of the value of the diameter of the fishing line. If water adheres to the fishing line, or if the fat or oil component of the bait adheres to the fishing line, a slip occurs on the rollers, so that an error is likely to occur in the feeding amount of the notified fishing line, and Of the latter, because the structure does not use rollers, erroneous detection due to slip does not occur, but since the diameter of the fishing line to be used is input in advance, this input is performed correctly. If there is an error in the diameter of the fishing line, or if you enter an incorrect value when inputting the diameter of the fishing line, In addition, when fishing by taking a shelf, it is common to use a twine for the fishing line, and when such a line is used, the diameter of the fishing line is indefinite, so Is extremely difficult to input in advance, it is not possible to accurately grasp the feeding amount, and there is room for improvement in each of the references.

An object of the present invention is to reduce the amount of fishing line fed from the rotating body,
The reason is that a reel capable of grasping as accurately as possible is rationally constituted.

[Means for solving the problem]

The characteristic configuration of the present invention includes notifying means for notifying the feeding amount of the fishing line, measuring means for measuring the rotation amount of the rotating body for winding the fishing line, and each of the switches which are manually operated. When a signal is input from a switch that is operated each time the reel is wound, storage means is provided for holding data based on the measurement result of the measurement means, and when the fishing line is fed from the rotating body, the measurement result from the measurement means is provided. And a control means for outputting the fishing line payout amount to the notification means based on each of the data held in the storage means. The operation and effect are as follows.

[Action]

If the above-mentioned feature is configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, for example, before winding the fishing line (10) around the rotating body (2), the rotating body (2) has a predetermined length. By operating the switch (12) each time the fishing line (10) is wound, the measuring means (1) is stored in the storage means (19).
Data based on the measurement result of 8) is retained.

The holding operation is shown in the flow chart of FIG. 5, and the length of the fishing line (10) wound around the rotating body (2) is changed by changing the hue every predetermined length. When the fishing line (10) is used, it can be grasped on the basis of its coloring, or it can be grasped by using a conventional counter which is commercially available, and the length can be grasped in any form. .

Thereafter, when fishing, when the fishing line (10) is paid out from the rotating body (2), based on the measurement result from the measuring means (18) and the data held in the storage means (19), Then, the control means (15) outputs the length of the fishing line (10) fed from the rotating body (2) to the notifying means (15).

That is, in the present invention, since the length of the fishing line (10) is not actually measured by contacting the fishing line (10) such as a roller, there is no error caused by slipping. Assuming something that performs
The control system can be extremely simplified.

〔The invention's effect〕

Therefore, the reel which can extremely accurately grasp the amount of the fishing line fed from the rotating body, and which has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost has been rationally constituted.
