Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spool for winding fishing line and a spool assembly which is a component of the spool.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a fishing line has been cut into a predetermined length (for example, about 150 m) for sale, but it is spooled for convenience of storing the fishing line. It is sold in a wound state.

However, after the fishing line is used, the spool is generated as dust, and since this spool is generally made of synthetic resin such as plastic, it is necessary to dispose of the unnecessary spool as normal dust. There was a problem that I could not do it.

By the way, the spool is made of plastic or the like in order to ensure its strength. That is, a commercially available fishing line is unrolled from a long fishing line bundle and wound up on a spool for a predetermined length to complete a product.At this time, the fishing line is loaded with a certain tension. Since it is wound up, the spool is required to have a certain strength (rigidity).

Further, in consideration of such distribution of fishing line, there is a problem that the conventional resin spool has a large weight and the cost for mass transportation increases.

The present invention has been made in view of such a background, and is capable of effectively dealing with the problem of dust, and is more lightweight than before and suitable for mass transportation, and a spool for fishing line. An object of the present invention is to provide a spool assembly which is a component that constitutes a spool.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] (1) In order to achieve the above object, a fishing line spool assembly according to the present invention is formed with a taper so as to continuously and gradually expand its diameter at a bottom surface portion and a periphery of the bottom surface portion. A vessel-shaped core portion having a peripheral surface portion, a collar portion formed continuously with the core portion, and provided on the peripheral surface portion, arranged radially along the circumferential direction of the peripheral surface portion and extending in the axial direction. A plurality of ribs, the ribs are formed in a wedge shape so that the maximum outer diameter of the peripheral surface portion is offset by canceling the taper, and the core portion, the collar portion, and the ribs are made of paper. It is characterized in that it is integrally formed by press molding.

According to this construction, since the core portion, the collar portion and the rib are made of paper, the fishing line spool assembly is
It can be discarded as normal garbage. Further, since the fishing line spool assembly is configured as a main component of the fishing line spool, the fishing line spool can be reduced in weight. Moreover, since the fishing line spool assembly is integrally formed by press molding, high rigidity can be ensured. When the fishing line spool is constructed by using this, the fishing line spool is attached to the fishing line spool. Sufficient rigidity can be secured for winding. The fishing line can be wound around the peripheral surface portion.

In addition, since the peripheral surface portion forming the core portion has a taper, so-called mold release at the time of molding is excellent. Therefore, even when the rib is integrally formed on the peripheral surface portion, it can be easily taken out from the mold after molding. Moreover, since the maximum outer diameter of the peripheral surface portion is made constant by the ribs, the wound fishing line is not inclined along the peripheral surface portion, and good winding can be realized.

(2) It is also possible to form a boss portion extending toward the flange portion at the central portion of the bottom surface portion. That is, the central portion of the bottom portion can be in a so-called raised bottom state. By doing so, the rigidity of the fishing line spool assembly can be further improved.

(3) It is also possible to provide a through hole penetrating from the bottom surface portion to the flange portion side in the central portion of the bottom surface portion. With this configuration, the fishing line spool assembly can be supported by inserting the required support shaft into the through hole. In particular, when the boss portion is provided, the support shaft penetrates the boss portion, so that the support shaft can securely hold the fishing line spool assembly. As a result, when a fishing line spool is formed by using the fishing line spool assembly, the fishing line spool can be reliably positioned and held by the support shaft, and the fishing line winding operation is facilitated.

(4) The bottom surface portion may be provided with a locking piece protruding from the bottom surface portion. With this configuration, when the fishing line spool is assembled, the locking piece can be engaged with another component. Therefore, the rigidity of the fishing line spool using the fishing line spool assembly can be further improved.

(5) In order to achieve the above object, a fishing line spool according to the present invention is provided with a fishing line spool assembly and a flat plate-shaped opposing member which is provided on the bottom surface part and faces the collar part. It has a collar member.

According to this structure, the fishing line spool assembly can be a main component to form the fishing line spool. Since the fishing line spool assembly is made of paper, the fishing line spool can be discarded as normal dust and can be made lighter. Moreover, since the fishing line spool assembly is formed by press molding, sufficient rigidity can be secured for winding the fishing line.

(6) The facing flange member may be formed by press molding using paper. With this configuration, the fishing line spool can be further reduced in weight.

(7) The facing flange member may be provided with a positioning piece for positioning the relative position of the fishing line spool assembly. With this configuration, when the fishing line spool assembly and the opposing brim member are assembled, they can be easily positioned and the assembling work can be simplified.

(8) An engaging concave portion with which the locking piece formed on the spool assembly is engaged can be provided on a surface of the facing collar member facing the fishing line spool assembly. With this configuration, the engagement between the locking piece and the engagement recess makes it possible to ensure a reliable connection between the fishing line spool assembly and the opposing flange portion when assembled.

(9) The facing flange member may be provided with a connecting member for connecting the fishing line spools. That is, a plurality of fishing line spools can be connected by the connecting member. As a result, there is an advantage that the fishing line of a predetermined length can be wound on one fishing line spool, and subsequently the fishing line can be wound on another spool adjacent to the one fishing line spool.

In particular, the connecting member can be constituted by a projecting piece projecting outward from the facing collar member along the axial direction of the fishing line spool, and the projecting piece is the fishing line spool assembly. The outer dimensions can be set so that they fit into the core of the.

According to this structure, the two fishing line spools can be easily connected by fitting the protrusions of one fishing line spool into the core portions of the other adjacent fishing line spools.

(10) Further, the engaging concave portion may be constituted by a groove portion formed by bending a part of the facing flange member. With this configuration, the engaging recess can be easily formed by partially bending the outer shape of the facing flange member. In particular, when the facing flange member is press-molded, the engaging recess can be formed very easily.

(11) The bent portion of the facing flange member may also serve as the connecting member. That is, it is possible to configure the engaging concave portion at the inner side of the bent portion of the facing flange member and at the same time configure the connecting member at the outer side portion. Thereby, it is not necessary to separately configure the engaging recess and the connecting member.

(12) Furthermore, a liner may be provided at the peripheral edge of the facing flange member so that the peripheral edge becomes thicker. With this configuration, the rigidity of the corresponding collar member can be improved, and the thickness of the portion other than the peripheral portion can be reduced, so that the weight of the fishing line spool can be further reduced.

It faces the collar portion 16 of No. 1. By attaching the side plate 12 to the spool body 11, the side plate 12 is configured as the other flange portion of the spool 10. That is, the spool body 11 and the side plate 12 constitute the spool 10 for winding the fishing line. Further, a through hole 30 is provided at the center of the side plate 12. This through hole 30
Is concentric with the through hole 23 provided on the spool body 11 side and has the same shape.

Description will be made again with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
In the present embodiment, the engaging groove 24 is provided on the facing surface 25 (the surface facing the spool body 11) of the side plate 12. A ring member 26 (positioning piece) is formed on the facing surface 25.

The engaging groove 24 is formed in a circular shape as described above, so that the locking piece 20 of the spool body 11 can be fitted exactly. In the present embodiment, the engagement groove 24 is formed by bending a part of the side plate 12 from the facing surface 25 to the side opposite to the facing surface 27 (the back surface of the facing surface 25). However, the structure is not limited to such a structure, and the thickness of the side plate 12 may be increased to increase the thickness of the side plate 12.
The engaging groove 24 can be provided by cutting out the facing surface 25 of the above. When the locking piece 20 is omitted, the engagement groove 24 can also be eliminated.

The ring member 26 has a facing surface 25 of the side plate 12.
And is formed integrally with the side plate 12. The ring member 26 is formed in a circular shape as shown in FIG.

A liner 28 and a connecting portion 29 (connecting member) are provided on the opposite surface 27 of the side plate 12 (see FIG. 2).

The liner 28 is formed along the outer edge of the opposite surface 27 and is formed integrally with the side plate 12. By providing this liner 28, the side plate 12
Of the side plate 12, that is, the rigidity of the other flange portion facing the flange portion 16 can be improved, and the thickness of the central portion of the side plate 12 can be reduced to reduce the weight.
The liner 28 may be omitted.

The connecting portion 29 is formed so as to project outward from the opposite surface 27. In the present embodiment, the connecting portion 29 is formed by bending the side plate 12. That is, by configuring the engaging groove 24, the connecting portion 29 is formed by the outer wall portion that partitions the engaging groove 24. In other words, the engaging groove 24 is formed by bending the side plate 12, and the bent portion also serves as the connecting portion 29.

Of course, in addition to the structure in which the portion forming the engaging groove 24 also serves as the connecting portion 29, for example, a block-shaped protruding piece is provided on the opposite surface 27 so as to form the connecting portion 29. You can also In that case, the outer shape of the projecting piece may be the same as the outer shape of the connecting portion 29.

The outer diameter of the connecting portion 29 corresponds to the inner diameter of the opening of the core 15. Therefore, this connecting portion 29 can be fitted into the core portion 15 from the flange portion 16 side of the spool body 11. The connecting portion 29 can be omitted.

(3) Method of Manufacturing and Using Spool The spool body 11 and the side plate 12 are formed by press molding using paper as described above. The material of the paper used is not particularly limited, and used paper or the like may be used. Press molding is a general molding method. For example, the shape of the spool body 11 and the side plate 12 can be molded by processing waste paper into a liquid state, pressing it with a mold, and drying it.

According to the spool 10 of this embodiment,
The following operational effects are achieved.

First, since the spool body 11 and the side plate 12 are made of paper, they can be discarded as ordinary dust. In this embodiment, since the side plate 12 is a separate member, even if only the side plate 12 is made of resin or the like, the spool body 11 is made of paper. It can be discarded as normal garbage. In addition, since the side plate 12 is a separate member, when manufacturing the side plate 12, specifications such as the name and number of the fishing line to be wound on the surface of the side plate 12 and the length of the wound line can be described by printing or the like. it can. Therefore,
Conventionally, such specifications are described after the spool is manufactured.
Alternatively, although the fishing line as a product (a state where the fishing line is wound on the spool) is completed as a separate process, the spool 10 according to the present embodiment does not have such a separate process and manufactures a fishing line as a product. There is an advantage that can be done.

Since the spool body 11 is constructed as a main part of the spool 10, the spool 10 can be made lighter. Therefore, the spool 10
Mass transportation of "fishing line" as a product in a state in which the fishing line is wound is also easier than in the past, and the cost for transportation can be reduced.

Since the spool body 11 is integrally formed by press molding, high rigidity can be secured. As a result, high rigidity can be secured as the spool 10 as a whole, and the fishing line can be wound well.

In addition, since the peripheral surface portion 13 forming the core portion 15 of the spool body 11 is tapered, it is excellent in so-called mold release at the time of molding. Therefore, the ribs 14 are integrally formed on the peripheral surface portion 13, but even in that case, the ribs 14 can be easily taken out from the mold after molding, and the manufacturing is easy. Moreover, since the taper of the peripheral surface portion 13 is offset by the ribs 14, the wound fishing line is not inclined along the peripheral surface portion 13, and good winding can be realized.

Further, particularly the spool 1 according to the present embodiment
When 0, the following peculiar effect is produced.

Since the boss portion 19 is provided at the center of the bottom surface portion 17 of the spool body 11, there is an advantage that the rigidity of the bottom surface spool 10 can be further improved. Moreover, the through hole 3 described above is formed in the side plate 12 and the boss portion 19.
Since 0 and the through hole 22 are provided, the spool 10 can be reliably held when a predetermined support shaft is inserted through the through holes 30 and 22.

The support shaft is, for example, a spool support shaft of a fishing line winding device for winding the fishing line on the spool 10. In this case, the spool 10 is securely held to ensure good fishing line. Can be rolled up. further,
In the present embodiment, since the through holes 30 and 22 are formed in a quadrangular shape, there is an advantage that the spool 10 can be held in a positioned state when the spool support shaft is inserted.

However, the through holes 30 and 22 are not limited to the quadrangular shape, and may have a polygonal shape as long as the above positioning can be performed. Alternatively, a key hole may be provided as a circular hole for positioning.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the engaging piece 20 is provided on the bottom surface portion 17 and the engaging groove 24 is provided on the side plate 12, by engaging these when assembling the spool 10, There is an advantage that both can be positioned and connected reliably and the rigidity of the spool 10 is further improved. In particular, this engagement groove 24 is
Since a part of the side plate 12 is bent, the side plate 12 can be easily configured at the same time when the side plate 12 is molded.

Further, in this embodiment, since the side plate 12 is provided with the ring member 26, the spool body 11 and the side plate 1 are provided.
There is an advantage that the positioning with respect to 2 can be performed more reliably, the assembling work of the spool 10 is simple, and the assembling accuracy of the spool 10 can be improved.

In this embodiment, since the side plate 12 is provided with the connecting portion 29, a plurality of spools 10 can be connected by fitting the connecting portion 29 to another spool 10. As a result, when a fishing line is wound by the above-described fishing line winding device, a plurality of spools 10 connected to the spool support shaft are arranged, and one spool 10 is wound with a predetermined length of fishing line, and then the spool 10 is continuously wound. There is an advantage that the fishing line can be wound around another spool adjacent to one spool 30.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the flange 16 and the side plate 12 of the spool 10 can be provided with a notch 31. By doing this, one spool 1
After winding a predetermined length of fishing line on 0, cut the fishing line into the notch 3
It becomes easy to bridge to the adjacent spool via 1,
Then, it becomes easy to wind the fishing line on the adjacent spool.

Further, in this embodiment, the engaging groove 24 is formed by the bent portion of the side plate 12, and the bent portion also serves as the connecting portion 29. Therefore, the engaging groove 24 and the connecting portion 29 are formed. There is an advantage that the manufacturing cost of the spool 10 can be reduced because it is not necessary to separately configure the spool 10.

In addition, since the liner 28 is provided on the side plate 12 when the present embodiment is stagnant, the rigidity of the liner 28, and thus the rigidity of the entire spool 10 can be improved.
As a result, the thickness of the portion of the side plate 12 other than the peripheral portion can be reduced, and the weight of the spool 10 as a whole can be further reduced.

In the present embodiment, the following design modification examples can be considered. That is, in the above embodiment, the outer shapes of the collar portion 16 and the side plate 12 are circular, but they may be polygonal. By doing so, there is an advantage that, for example, when the spool 10 is placed on an inclined surface, the inclined surface does not roll down.

Further, although the outer diameter of the collar portion 16 and the outer diameter of the side plate 12 are the same, these outer diameters may be different. Even if it does so, there is an advantage that the spool 10 does not roll down on the inclined surface. Moreover, the "direction" of the spool 10 becomes clear by making the outer diameter of the collar portion 16 different from the outer diameter of the side plate 12. Therefore, when the spool 10 is set on the fishing line winding device, there is also an advantage that it is possible to prevent an error in the "direction" of the spool 10.

[0063]

As described above, according to the present invention, the fishing line spool assembly, which is a main component of the fishing line spool, and the fishing line spool formed by using the fishing line spool assembly are made of paper. It can be discarded as normal dust, and the dust problem that the conventional spool made of synthetic resin has can be solved.

Moreover, since the fishing line spool is manufactured from paper, the weight of the fishing line spool can be reduced. In addition, high rigidity of the fishing line spool can be ensured by manufacturing by press molding.
