Description

      The present invention incorporates an illuminating device that uses a dry cell as a power source in the hollow of the drag knob, in which the spool attached to the spinning reel body is detachably pressed by screwing via the spool shaft. The present invention relates to a drag screw that also has a function as a lighting fixture and can be used.

    The conventional use form of the drag knob is a metal fitting member that is screwed to the tip of the spool shaft of the spinning reel, presses and adjusts the drag force applied to the spool, and stops the system, and includes a lighting device and an electric circuit inside the main body. Therefore, there was nothing that could be used as a lighting fixture and could illuminate the hand etc. when feeding at night fishing.

    In addition, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a fishing rod main body with a lighting device and an electric circuit built in, but since it is built into the fishing rod itself, the lighting part is attached and detached and attached to other fishing rods. It is impossible to do this, or as disclosed in Patent Document 2, a light emitter is attached to the spool body, and the fish catch is noticed by seeing the movement of the spool rotating backward by pulling the fish. However, it is not used as a lighting tool that illuminates the hand (see the following patent document).

JP 2000-14279 Japanese Patent No. 3942821

    As described above, in addition to the function as a metal fitting member that is screwed to the tip of the spool shaft of a spinning reel, which is a form of use of a conventional drag knob, and presses and adjusts the drag force applied to the spool, In addition, by incorporating a lighting device and an electric circuit, a new application is added to improve convenience.

    Since the present invention is a metal fitting member screwed into the tip of the spool shaft of the spinning reel and has a built-in power supply device, the material for constructing the main body is an insulating synthetic resin or the like. Materials that can ensure strength are preferred, and examples of light emitters that can be used include LEDs and miniature bulbs. The power source of the light emitter is a small battery such as a button battery. To do.

    As described above, the illuminated drag knob of the present invention is screwed into the tip of the spool shaft and can be used as a metal fitting member that presses and adjusts the drag force applied to the spool to stop the system. This makes it convenient for you to feed your hands and illuminate your feet without having to carry a flashlight or headlight that is necessary for nighttime fishing.

    Hereinafter, an example is shown according to an accompanying drawing, and composition and a form of use of an illuminated drag knob of the present invention are explained.

    The present invention divides the drag knob main body into an upper bottom knob portion 1 and a lower bottom portion 2, and the main body upper bottom knob portion 1 can be attached and detached by screwing the upper bottom female screw portion 1a and the lower bottom male screw portion 2a. A cylindrical battery storage chamber 6 having electrode terminals 7 and 8 and a lens 3 fitted in the outer wall of the main body knob portion that is partially opened, and a reflector 4 and a light emitter 5 on the inner wall facing each other. And an ON / OFF switch 9 is provided on the outer wall of the main body gripping part facing the lens 3 side and wired, and the button battery 11 is inserted into the battery storage chamber 6 in accordance with the electrodes, and serves as a bottom cover of the battery storage chamber 6. The main body lower bottom portion 2 provided with the bottom lid 6a having the plate body 10 on the inner bottom is screwed to the main body upper bottom portion 1 via the screw portions 1a and 2a, thereby the electrode terminal 8 included in the battery housing chamber 6 and Conductive plate 10 is bonded to the inner bottom of the bottom lid 6a and energized. The lighting device is turned on or off by an ON / OFF switch. When the upper bottom knob portion 1 and the lower bottom male screw portion 2 are screwed together, a waterproof rubber packing 12 is sandwiched between them. Inundation from the gap can be prevented.

    Since one embodiment of the present invention has the above-described configuration, a pressing system which is provided on the lower bottom portion 2 of the main body of the drag knob via a spool shaft 15 on a spool 14 which is attached to the main body of an existing spinning reel 13. The lock nut portion 2b is screwed and used.

FIG. 4 is a partially cutaway perspective plan view showing a state in which the illuminated drag knob of the present invention is screwed onto the spool shaft of the reel body and attached to the system. It is a perspective top view which shows the state which looked at the drag knob with this illumination from the side. It is sectional drawing along AA which shows the internal detailed structure which unscrews the main body upper bottom part of this book illuminated drag knob, and a lower bottom part. It is a partially transparent drawing which shows the internal structure of the state which looked at the upper bottom part of this dragged drag knob from the back. It is a top view which shows the state which looked at the drag knob with this illumination from the top.
