Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to a sealing structure such as various switch mechanisms provided on the surface of a reel body.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-47506 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-10778, a dual-bearing reel for fishing has a clutch for switching between a fishing line winding operation position and a fishing line discharging operation position. A mechanism is provided. A changeover member such as a changeover switch of the clutch mechanism is attached to the reel unit so as to be slidable or rotatable.

In addition, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-45508, for example, a spinning reel for fishing rotates a rotor, a handle drive shaft, or the like that rotates by feeding the fishing line wound on a spool. Some are equipped with a reverse rotation prevention mechanism that prevents reverse rotation of the body. A switching member such as a switch for switching between the reverse rotation preventing state and the reverse rotation enabling state of the reverse rotation preventing mechanism is also rotatably attached to the reel unit.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the switching member for the clutch mechanism and the reverse rotation preventing mechanism as described above is displaceably supported by the reel body, a gap is created between the switching member and the reel body. This is because seawater, water, sand, etc. easily enter through the gaps in fishing areas where the operating environment is severe and adhere to internal mechanisms such as the drive mechanism to impair operation performance and cause rusting. However, there are still some problems such as malfunction.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems of the prior art, and foreign matter such as water or sand enters from a gap between a switching member such as a clutch mechanism or a reverse rotation preventing mechanism and the reel unit. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fishing reel that does not exist.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a fishing reel in which a reel body is displaceably supported by a switching member for switching a clutch mechanism, a reverse rotation prevention mechanism, and the like provided in a fishing reel between an operating state and an inactive state. The elastic sealing member is interposed between the reel body and the switching member, the elastic sealing member is fixed to at least one of the reel body and the switching member, and is elastically contacted with the other. And

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the elastic sealing member is fixedly held on the reel unit side.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the elastic sealing member is fixedly held on the switching member side.

[0009]

[Action]

 According to the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, since the elastic sealing member is interposed between the reel body and the switching member, and the elastic sealing member is in contact with both the reel body and the switching member, The gap between the reel body and the switching member will not be blocked, and water, sand, etc. will not enter the reel body. Further, since the gap is closed by the elastic force of the elastic sealing member, the switching member can be displaced, but the operability at the time of switching is not hindered.

【Example】

 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial sectional front view showing a typical example in which the fishing reel according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a dual bearing reel, FIG. 2 is a partial sectional side view thereof, and FIG. It is an exploded perspective view showing.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the dual-bearing reel according to the present embodiment comprises a pair of side plates 2 and 3 that constitute a reel body 1 and are arranged so as to face each other at a predetermined interval. It has a spool 4 rotatably supported between the side plates, a drive mechanism for the spool 4 housed in one side plate 3, and a clutch mechanism for continuing the drive path.

The drive mechanism is not particularly limited, but is composed of, for example, a gear 6 that rotates integrally with the handle 5 and a pinion gear 7 that meshes with the gear 6 and engages and disengages the spool shaft 4 a of the spool 4. To be done.

Although there are various types of algae in the clutch mechanism, a description will be given by taking a typical one as an example in the present embodiment. A clutch plate 8 in which a pinion gear 7 is engaged and held, A slide plate 9 that slides the clutch plate 8 along the axial direction, a distribution holding panel (dead point spring) 10 that biases the slide plate 9 in the clutch ON / OFF direction, and a dead of the distribution holding spring 10. It is composed of a known mechanism such as a switching member 13 for changing the points to switch between the clutch ON / OFF distribution biasing position 13a and the clutch ON position only biasing position 13b.

The tip of the slide plate 9 projects so as to be able to advance and retract in the through hole 30 formed in the side plate 3, and this projecting portion serves as a switching member 14 as a switch for switching ON / OFF of the clutch. There is. That is, when the switching member 14 is in the position shown by the solid line, the clutch is on, and when it is pushed into the position shown by the chain double-dashed line, the clutch is off.

In this embodiment, the through hole 30 into which the switching member 14 is inserted accommodates the elastic sealing member 20 made of natural or artificial rubber or soft resin material, and the switching member 13. An elastic sealing member 21 made of the same material is fixedly attached to the through hole 31. The elastic sealing members 20 and 21 have U-shaped grooves formed on the outer side, and a method of fitting the U-shaped grooves into the side plates 3 defining the through holes 30 and 31 and fixing them is adopted. There is. Needless to say, the method of fixing the elastic sealing members 20 and 21 to the through holes 30 and 31 of the side plate 3 is not limited to this, and other methods such as adhesion may be used. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the elastic sealing members 20 and 21 are configured to be in close contact with the outer peripheries of the switching members 13 and 14, and retain the sealing effect. That is, even if the switching members 13 and 14 rotate or move in the axial direction, the elastic sealing members 20 and 21 are always in close contact with the switching members 13 and 14 to provide a sealing effect even during the switching operation. Holding

The double-bearing reel shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a locking screw 50 for fixing the side plates 2 and 3, but the side plate 3 into which the shaft of the locking screw 50 is inserted is formed. A similar elastic sealing member 51 is attached to the formed screw hole.

In the above embodiment, the elastic sealing members 20, 21, 51 are fixedly attached to the side plate 3, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the switching members 13, 14 and the loosening members are not limited thereto. This elastic sealing member may be attached to the set screw 50 side, and the elastic sealing member may be configured to press and contact the window frame portion that defines the through hole of the reel unit. There is no end.

In the above description, the elastic sealing members 20, 21, 51 are attached to one of the side plates 3 or the switching members 13, 14 or the locking screw 50 side, but in the present invention, It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this, and elastic sealing members may be attached to both the side plate 3 and the switching members 13, 14 and the like.

Further, in the present invention, particularly when the elastic sealing member 21 is fixedly attached to the side plate side, as shown in FIG. 4, the elastic sealing member 21 is covered with the switching member 13. The film body F formed of a material such as rubber may be integrally formed so as to ensure sealing. In this case, the elastic sealing member 20 may be provided with a similar film body F.

The spinning reel is generally provided with a handle reverse rotation preventing device, but FIG. 5 shows a typical example applied when the fishing reel is a spinning reel. That is, for example, the elastic sealing member 70 similar to the above is also used around the shaft 62 of the switching member 61 which is the switching switch of the reverse rotation preventing mechanism provided at the rear portion of the reel unit 60.
