Description

The present invention relates to the technical field of fishing reels with spools.

Generally, fishing reels are known to have a configuration in which a spool is rotated by a rotating operation of a handle. A fishing reel of this type is known to have a configuration in which the center of rotation of the spool is positioned rearward and above the mounting position of the handle (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2021-108631

In the conventional structure, the center of rotation of the spool is positioned rearward and upward from the mounting position of the handle. For this reason, the internal structure such as the main gear that rotates with the rotating operation of the handle, for example, is accommodated at a position closer to the front side of the fishing reel. Then, the fulcrum of the wrist when gripping and holding (palming) the fishing reel is located above the fishing rod to which the fishing reel is attached. For this reason, for example, when palming a fishing reel with the left hand, the vertical operation of the rod with the wrist as the fulcrum (for example, twitch operation or jerking operation) is interlocked with the fishing line winding operation of rotating the handle with the right hand. is not easy. This is the problem to be solved by the present invention.

The present invention was created with the aim of solving these problems in view of the actual situation as described above. A fishing reel comprising: a spool rotatably supported as a center of rotation; and a handle attached to the reel body for rotating the spool by rotating the handle shaft, wherein the handle shaft is provided behind and below the spool shaft and outside the outer diameter position of the spool.
According to the invention of claim 2, the spool includes a substantially cylindrical main body portion concentrically attached to the spool shaft, and a substantially disk-shaped main body portion concentrically attached to both ends of the main body portion in the axial direction. The handle shaft is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and the outer peripheral surface of the handle shaft is positioned outside the outer diameter position of the edge portions of the spool. 2. The fishing reel of claim 1, wherein the fishing reel is mounted so as to
According to the invention of claim 3, the handle shaft is attached so as to be positioned below the fulcrum of the wrist when the reel body is gripped and held so as to wrap around the reel body. The fishing reel described.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a level wind mechanism is provided on the reel body and reciprocates in the axial direction of the spool shaft as the spool rotates to wind the fishing line on the spool in a left-right reciprocating manner. 2. A fishing reel according to claim 1, characterized in that:

According to the invention of claim 1, the handle shaft is positioned behind and below the spool shaft and outside the outer diameter position of the spool. Therefore, the handle shaft is positioned below the fulcrum of the wrist when the reel body is gripped and held so as to wrap around the reel body. As a result, it is easy to coordinate the vertical operation of the fishing rod with the wrist as the fulcrum when the fishing rod is gripped and held so as to wrap the reel body, and the winding operation of rotating the handle to wind the fishing line.
According to the invention of claim 2, the outer peripheral surface of the handle shaft is located outside the outer diameter position of the edge portion of the spool. For this reason, the handle shaft is positioned further below the fulcrum of the wrist when the reel body is gripped and held so as to wrap around the reel body. Therefore, it becomes easier to interlock the vertical operation of the fishing rod with the wrist as the fulcrum when the reel body is gripped and held, and the winding operation of rotating the handle to wind the fishing line.
By adopting the invention of claim 3, the handle shaft is positioned below the fulcrum of the wrist when gripping and holding the reel body so as to wrap it. As a result, the vertical operation of the fishing rod with the wrist as a fulcrum when the fishing rod is gripped and held so as to wrap the reel body can be easily linked with the winding operation of rotating the handle to wind the fishing line.
By adopting the invention of claim 4, even in a fishing reel having a level wind mechanism, when the reel body is gripped and held so as to wrap the reel body, the fishing rod can be moved up and down with the wrist as a fulcrum, and the handle can be rotated to rotate the fishing line. It is easy to link with the winding operation.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated based on drawing. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a fishing reel. The fishing reel 1 is relatively small and used for relatively light lure fishing such as tie mule fishing and light jigging.

Specifically, the fishing reel 1 has a right casing 2 on the drive side, a left casing 3 on the driven side, and a connecting portion (frame) 4 connecting the right casing 2 and the left casing 3 together. A bearing-type, so-called bait-type reel body (palming cup portion) 5 is provided. A connecting portion 4 of the reel body 5 is provided with a leg portion (reel foot) 6 . By detachably attaching the leg portion 6 to a support portion (reel seat: not shown) provided on the fishing rod A, the fishing reel 1 is set on the fishing rod A. .

As shown in FIG. 2, both left and right ends of a spool shaft 7 are rotatably supported by the right casing 2 and the left casing 3 via bearings (ball bearings) 7a. The spool shaft 7 is concentrically inserted into the spool 8 and is rotatably supported so that they rotate together. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a guide cylinder (warm shield) 9 is attached to the front of the spool 8 with both left and right edges supported by the right casing 2 and the left casing 3 . A helical shaft (worm shaft) 10 constituting a level wind mechanism L is rotatably supported on the guide tube 8 via a bearing (collar) 10a.

As shown in FIG. 2, the spool 8 has a substantially cylindrical spool body (body portion) 8a for winding the fishing line, and a shaft insertion hole 8b is provided along the axial direction of the spool body 8a. there is A spool shaft 7 is inserted through and fixed to the shaft insertion hole 8b, and a driven gear (pinion gear) 12 is attached to an intermediate portion of the portion of the spool shaft 7 protruding from the right side of the spool body 8a. A pair of substantially disc-shaped edge portions (spool edges) 8c having an outer diameter dimension larger than the outer diameter dimension of the spool body 8a are concentrically attached to both ends of the spool body 8a in the axial direction. there is The spool 8 is configured such that the fishing line is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the spool body 8a between the edge portions 8c.

The spool 8 is configured to rotate about the spool shaft 7 by rotating a handle 13 attached to the right casing 2 . The handle 13 is detachably fixed to the end of a substantially cylindrical handle shaft 14 protruding rightward from the right casing 2 . The handle shaft 14 is rotatably supported by the right casing 2 via bearings (ball bearings) 14a and 14b. can be rotated only in the direction in which the

As shown in FIG. 5, an end portion 10b of the spiral shaft 10 within the left casing 3 is interlocked with an end portion 7b of the spool shaft 7 within the left casing 3 via a power transmission mechanism 15 using gears. . The spool 8 and the helical shaft 10 are configured to integrally rotate together with the rotation of the spool shaft 7 . The power transmission mechanism 15 is set to a gear ratio that rotates the helical shaft 10 by shifting (decelerating) the rotation of the spool shaft 7 .

Furthermore, the guide cylinder 9 has an opening window 9a formed in the peripheral surface on the lower half side so that the peripheral surface of the helical shaft 10 is exposed (visible). Above the guide cylinder 9, a guide rod (level wind shaft) 9b is provided whose left and right ends are supported by the front ends of the right casing 2 and the left casing 3. A guide body (level wind) 16 for laterally guiding the wound fishing line is continuously reciprocated in the lateral direction.

As a result, when the spool 8 and the helical shaft 10 are rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the spool shaft 7, the guide member 16 is guided by the helical groove 10c provided on the helical shaft 10 and reciprocates left and right. As a result, the fishing line is wound around the spool 8 while being guided by the guide body 16, and is sent out. When the fishing line is wound on the spool 8 by being guided by the guide body 16, the fishing line is wound on the spool 8 in layers by repeatedly moving the guide body 16 forward and backward. is uniformly wound around the spool 8. The level wind mechanism L is configured to reciprocate in the axial direction of the spool shaft 7 with the rotation of the spool 8 to wind the fishing line on the spool 8 in a reciprocating manner.

Further, between the rear ends of the right casing 2 and the left casing 3, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a clutch operating tool (clutch lever) 17 that constitutes the clutch mechanism C is vertically pivotable. supported. The clutch mechanism C cuts off power transmission from the handle shaft 14 to the spool shaft 7 in conjunction with the operation of the clutch operation tool 17, and sets the spool 8 and the spool shaft 7 in a free state so that the spool 8 can rotate freely. The specific structure of the clutch mechanism C employs a conventionally known one, and further detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, the right casing 2 is provided with a casting operation tool (mechanical brake knob) 18 that constitutes a casting mechanism (mechanical brake) B, as shown in FIGS. The casting mechanism B is configured such that the driven gear 12 rotatably and axially movable on the spool shaft 7 moves in the axial direction of the spool shaft 7 by rotating the casting operation tool 16 . . As a result, the casting mechanism B has a configuration in which the biasing force of the casting elastic (coil spring) 19 is changed to apply a braking force to the rotation of the spool 8 in the free state. This casting mechanism B also employs a conventionally known one, and a further detailed description thereof will be omitted.

A drive gear (main gear) 20 meshing with the driven gear 12 is concentrically fixed to the handle shaft 14, as shown in FIG. A drag mechanism D is provided on the handle shaft 14 . The drag mechanism D applies a braking load (braking force) to the rotation of the spool 8 in the fishing line feeding direction. It is configured to allow rotation in any direction against the braking load. Specifically, the drag mechanism D includes a lever-type drag operating tool (drag lever) 21 . The drag mechanism D is configured such that the braking load of the friction plate type drag mechanism D provided in the right casing 2 is adjusted by rotating the drag operation tool 21 . Since this drag mechanism D is also well known in the prior art, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the mounting position of the handle shaft 14 with respect to the reel body 5 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the handle shaft 14 has a center position P1 behind and below a center position P2 of the spool shaft 7 when viewed from the right side of the reel body 5. It is attached to the edge portion 8c of the spool 8 at a position outside the maximum outer diameter position P3. Further, the handle shaft 14 is mounted so that the outer peripheral position P4 of the handle shaft 14 is positioned outside the maximum outer diameter position P3 of the edge portion 8c of the spool 8. As shown in FIG. In short, as shown in FIG. 6, the handle shaft 14 is positioned closer to the handle than the operation point P5 of the fishing rod A with the left wrist as the fulcrum when the reel body 5 is gripped and held (parmed) by the left hand H. The shaft 14 is attached to the reel body 5 so that the center position P1 is positioned downward.

In the present embodiment constructed as described above, the center position P1 of the handle shaft 14 is positioned rearward and below the center position P2 of the spool shaft 7, and is positioned further down than the maximum outer diameter position P3 of the edge portion 8c of the spool 8. The outer peripheral position P4 of the handle shaft 14 is positioned on the outside. At the same time, with the reel body 5 palmed with the left hand H, the handle shaft 14 is moved so that the center position P1 of the handle shaft 14 is positioned below the operating point P5 of the fishing rod A with the left wrist as the fulcrum. It is configured to be attached to

In short, with the fishing reel 1 attached to the fishing rod A, the center position P1 of the handle shaft 14 can be brought close to the center shaft position P6 of the fishing rod A. can be located below the central axis position P6. As a result, when the reel body 5 is palmed with the left hand H, the center position P1 of the handle shaft 14 is located below the fulcrum (operation point P5) of the joint of the left wrist, as shown in FIG. As a result, while the base end (butt portion) of the fishing rod A is sandwiched between the sides, the fishing rod A can be vertically operated (for example, twitch operation, jerking operation, etc.) and the winding operation (reeling operation) for winding the fishing line by rotating the handle 13 with the right hand.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes various modifications. For example, the above-described embodiments are described for easy understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described.

For example, in the above embodiment, the bait-type fishing reel 1 provided with the level wind mechanism L is used, but a fishing reel not provided with the level wind mechanism L can also be applied, and the same effects can be achieved. In addition, not only the so-called right-handed fishing reel 1, in which the reel body 5 is palmed with the left hand and the handle 15 is reeled with the right hand, the reel body 5 is palmed with the right hand and the handle 13 is operated with the left hand. Even a so-called left-handed fishing reel, which reels with the left hand, can be used by appropriately changing the construction thereof.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used as a fishing reel with a spool on which fishing line is wound.
