TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is provided between a reel knob and a brake knob for braking the spool by pressing a rotating shaft interlocked with the spool by screwing to the reel body on the handle side of the dual-bearing reel, in particular, The present invention relates to a dual-bearing reel sounding mechanism that sounds when a braking knob rotates.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Generally, a dual-bearing reel includes a reel body having a pair of side plates and a handle, which is mounted on a fishing rod, and a spool rotatably supported by the reel body between the side plates. The handle is connected to the spool via a clutch. By turning the handle with the clutch turned on, the spool rotates to wind up the fishing line. When the clutch is turned off, the handle and the spool are shut off, so that the spool can rotate freely. In this state, the fishing line is paid out from the spool by casting.
[0003]
During this casting, the fishing line is paid out of the spool by the weight of the device attached to the tip. If the rotation speed of the spool is higher than the feeding speed of the fishing line at the time of feeding the line, a so-called backlash phenomenon occurs. When the backlash phenomenon occurs, the fishing lines become entangled with each other, or the fishing line gets caught between the spool and the reel body.
[0004]
In order to prevent the occurrence of the backlash phenomenon, a spool braking mechanism called a casting control mechanism is provided on the dual bearing reel. The brake mechanism includes a brake knob provided on the reel body facing an end of the spool shaft on the handle side, and a pressing member that presses one end of the spool shaft in response to rotation of the brake knob. And a receiving member that receives the other end of the pressed spool shaft.
[0005]
In this braking mechanism, the braking force is adjusted by changing the pressing force of the spool shaft according to the amount of rotation of the braking knob. By braking the spool by such a braking mechanism, the rotational speed of the spool is not excessively increased, and the backlash phenomenon can be prevented.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such a braking mechanism, there is a demand for providing a sound generating mechanism for notifying that a braking force is being operated and a braking amount. In the conventional braking mechanism, since the braking knob is provided at the end of the spool shaft on the handle side, it is necessary to make the size of the braking knob compact. This is because the handle shaft and the star drag are mounted on the handle side of the reel body, so that the axial and radial spaces at the handle side end of the spool shaft are limited. For this reason, if a sound generating mechanism is provided inside the braking knob, the size of the braking knob will not be compact, and it is difficult to provide a braking knob having a sound generating mechanism at the handle-side end of the spool shaft.
[0007]
Therefore, it is conceivable to provide a braking knob having a sound generating mechanism in a space on the opposite side of the handlebar with relatively little restriction. However, if the braking knob is arranged in the space opposite to the handle, the fishing rod is usually held with the hand opposite to the handle, so the hand holding the fishing rod must be changed every time the braking operation is performed. In addition, when trying to perform palming in which the reel and the fishing rod are integrally wrapped and held, the braking knob is in the way and the feeling is often deteriorated.
[0008]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a compact sound generating mechanism that can be mounted on a brake knob mounted on a steering wheel.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The sound generating mechanism of the dual-bearing reel according to the first aspect of the present invention is configured such that the spool is engaged with the reel body on the handle side of the dual-bearing reel and presses a rotating shaft interlocking with the spool, so that a braking knob that brakes the spool and the reel body are provided. The mechanism is provided and emits sound when the braking knob rotates, and includes a first member, a second member, and a holding member. The first member is a member that is arranged around the shaft end of the rotating shaft so as to face the braking knob and is not rotatable with respect to the reel body. The first member is non-rotatably locked to the reel body. The second member is a member that is non-rotatably provided on a surface of the braking knob facing the first member, and emits sound by relative rotation with the first member. The holding member holds the first member on the brake knob so as to be axially immovable and rotatable.
[0010]
In this sound generating mechanism, when the braking knob is rotated, the second member rotates and sounds relative to the first member that cannot be rotated by the reel body. Here, since the first member is arranged around the shaft end of the rotating shaft so as to face the brake knob, and the second member is non-rotatably provided on the brake knob, the brake can be provided even if the sound generating mechanism is provided on the handle side. The radial and axial dimensions of the knob can be kept relatively small. For this reason, the configuration of the sound generating mechanism becomes compact. Further, since the first member is provided separately from the reel body, the first member and the second member are always arranged at a constant interval even when the braking knob moves in the axial direction by screwing with the reel body. Can be. Further, since the first member is also held by the brake knob, the sounding mechanism does not disassemble even if the brake knob is removed from the reel body.
[0011]
A sound generating mechanism for a dual-bearing reel according to a second aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the first aspect, wherein one of the first member and the second member is provided on a surface facing the other member at a circumferential interval. The other member has a sound output pin mounted on the storage member and a position opposite to one of the recesses of the storage member so as to be able to advance and retreat and contact the recess, And an urging member for urging.
[0012]
In this case, when the first member and the second member rotate relative to each other, the sounding pin urged toward the recess by the urging member repeatedly collides with the recess to produce sound. Here, since the sound is generated by the sound output pin, a crisp sound is produced.
[0013]
A sound generating mechanism for a dual bearing reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the first or second aspect, wherein the second member is non-rotatably mounted on the brake knob. In this case, since the second member is provided separately from the braking knob, the first member and the second member can always be arranged at a constant interval even if the braking knob moves in the axial direction.
[0014]
A sound generating mechanism for a dual-bearing reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the first or second aspect, wherein the second member is provided integrally with the braking knob. In this case, since the second member is integral with the braking knob, the configuration of the sound generating mechanism is simplified.
[0015]
The sound generating mechanism of the dual-bearing reel according to the fifth aspect is the same as the first aspect. 2 In the mechanism according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the concave portion is provided in the second member, and the sound output pin is mounted on the first member. In this case, when the braking knob rotates, the concave portion rotates and the sounding pin repeatedly collides with the concave portion.
[0016]
A sound generating mechanism for a dual-bearing reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the rotating shaft is a spool shaft fixed to a center portion of the spool, and the first member is a spool shaft. It is located around the edge. In this case, since the spool shaft is directly braked, the spool can be braked reliably.
[0017]
The sound generating mechanism of the dual-bearing reel according to the seventh aspect of the present invention 2 7. The mechanism according to any one of items 1 to 6, wherein the sound output pin is formed so as to have a convex head having a smooth tip, a receiving portion formed to be continuous with the head and having a larger diameter than the head, and being connected to the receiving portion. And a shaft portion smaller in diameter than the receiving portion. In this case, the head of the sound output pin is not the same diameter as the receiving portion as in the related art, but is smaller in diameter than the receiving portion. For this reason, the urging force of the urging member can be kept high, and the mass does not decrease so much, so that a crisp and light click sound can be generated. In addition, since the head has a small diameter, the interval between the concave portions can be reduced, and the sounding interval can be shortened.
[0018]
The sound generating mechanism for a dual bearing reel according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the seventh aspect, wherein the head projects hemispherically. In this case, since the head is hemispherical, the rotation resistance is reduced even if the head contacts the concave hole.
[0019]

A U-shaped through hole through which the guide tube 25 passes is formed in the guide body 27a in parallel with the spool shaft 16, and the guide body 27a is supported by the guide tube 25 so as to be movable in the axial direction. The locking shaft 27b is disposed substantially along the front and rear at the rear portion of the guide body 27a, and the tip is locked in the groove 26a of the worm shaft 26. The locking shaft 27b rotates along the groove 26a by the rotation of the worm shaft 26, and reciprocates the guide main body 27a. The guide ring 27c is formed by, for example, bending a stainless steel wire into a hairpin shape with the upper part protruding, and has a long hole formed on the inner peripheral side. The lower part of the guide ring 27c is inserted and fixed to the rear upper surface of the guide body 27a. The surface of the guide ring 27c is coated with a metal such as titanium nitride or a ceramic such as SiC, for example, and the surface is smooth and hard. The guide ring 27c is arranged between the opening 9 and the spool 12 in the vicinity of the spool 12.

A round hole 57d is formed on the outer peripheral side of the through hole 57b substantially symmetrical with the locking hole 57c.
[0055]
The screw member 58 is a ring-shaped member, and a male screw portion 58a having the same size as the male screw portion 6d is formed on the outer peripheral surface. On the inner peripheral surface of the screw member 58, a pressing portion 58b having a smaller diameter than the flange portion 57a and abutting on the flange portion 57a is formed.
[0056]
The sound output pin 59 has the same configuration as the sound output pin 47 of the first sound generating mechanism 34, and is housed in the round hole 57d so as to be able to advance and retreat. The sounding pin 59 has a hemispherically convex head 59a having a smooth tip, a receiving portion 59b formed to be continuous with the head 59a and having a larger diameter than the head 59a, and a receiving portion 59b formed to be connected to the receiving portion 59b. And a shaft portion 59c having a smaller diameter. The head 59a is urged by the coil spring 60 and can come into contact with the sound output hole 55a. The coil spring 60 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the shaft portion 59c, and has one end in contact with the head 59a and the other end in contact with the bottom wall of the round hole 57d.
[0057]
Here, the sound output pin 55 and the coil spring 60 are stored in the storage member 57, and the sound output member 55 and the storage member 57 are stored in the brake cap 52, and the screw member 58 is screwed into the brake cap 52, so that the sound is output. The member 55 is mounted in the brake cap 52 so as not to rotate and cannot move in the axial direction, and the storage member 57 is mounted to the brake cap 52 so as to rotate freely and cannot move in the axial direction. In addition, the sound output pin 59 is closed by the sound output member 55 and does not fall off. For this reason, even if the braking cap 52 is removed from the boss portion 6c, the second sound generating mechanism 53 is not disassembled.
[0058]
In addition, since the second sound generating mechanism 53 is arranged continuously on the outer peripheral side of the spool shaft 16 to the boss portion 6c and the sound output member 55 is provided on the brake knob 52 so as not to rotate, the radial direction of the casting control mechanism 22 is reduced. And the axial dimension can be kept small. For this reason, the braking knob 52 having a sound generating function can be arranged in a relatively narrow space limited by the star drag 3 and the handle shaft 30.
[0059]
As shown in FIG. 3, the centrifugal brake mechanism 23 is provided with a brake case 65, a rotating part 66 provided in the brake case 65, and a radially movable part disposed in the rotating part 66 at intervals in the circumferential direction. And a slider 67 mounted. A cylindrical brake liner 65 a that can contact the slider 67 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the brake case 65. The brake case 65 is detachably mounted in a circular opening 5d formed in the side plate 5a, and swings together with the first side cover 6a.
[0060]
Next, a method of operating the reel will be described.
In a normal state, the clutch yoke 40 is pushed inward (leftward in FIG. 3) by the spring 42, whereby the pinion gear 32 is moved to the engagement position. In this state, the meshing portion 32b of the pinion gear 32 meshes with the engagement pin 16b of the spool shaft 16, and the clutch is turned on. The rotational force from the handle 2 is applied to the handle shaft 30, the main gear 31, and the pinion gear 32. The rotation is transmitted to the spool 12 via the spool shaft 16 and the spool 12 rotates in the line winding direction.
[0061]
When performing casting, the braking force is adjusted to suppress backlash. Here, it is preferable to adjust the braking force according to the mass of the lure (device), for example. Specifically, when the mass of the lure is large, the braking force is increased, and when it is small, the braking force is decreased. Adjustment of the braking force for suppressing backlash is performed by the casting control mechanism 22 or the centrifugal brake mechanism 23. When the braking force is adjusted by the casting control mechanism 22, the braking cap 52 is rotated, for example, clockwise. Then, the braking cap 52 screwed to the male screw portion 6d moves forward to the left in FIG. 6, the distance between the two friction plates 51 is reduced, and the braking force on the spool shaft 16 is increased. On the other hand, when it is rotated counterclockwise, the braking force is weakened. When the braking cap 52 is rotated in this manner, the sound output member 55 rotates together with the braking cap 52. On the other hand, since the sound output pin 59 stored in the storage member 57 locked to the boss 6c does not rotate, the sound output pin 59 repeatedly collides with the sound output hole 55a to generate sound.
[0062]
After adjusting the braking force, the clutch lever 17 is pushed downward. Here, the clutch lever 17 moves to the lower disengagement position along the long holes of the side plates 5a and 5b. The movement of the clutch lever 17 causes the clutch yoke 40 to move outward, and the pinion gear 32 engaged with the clutch yoke 40 to move in the same direction. As a result, the engagement between the engagement portion 32b of the pinion gear 32 and the engagement pin 16b of the spool shaft 16 is released, and the clutch is turned off. In this clutch-off state, rotation from the handle shaft 30 is not transmitted to the spool 12 and the spool shaft 16, and the spool 12 enters a free rotation state. In the clutch off state, when the spool is tilted in the axial direction so that the spool shaft 16 is along the vertical plane and the fishing rod is shaken while thumbing the spool with the clutch lever 17, the lure is thrown and the spool 12 is moved in the line payout direction. Rotate vigorously.
[0063]
In such a state, the rotation of the spool 12 causes the spool shaft 16 to rotate in the line payout direction, and the rotation is transmitted to the rotating member 66. When the rotating member 66 rotates, the slider 67 slides on the brake liner 65a, and the centrifugal brake mechanism 23 brakes the spool 12. At the same time, the spool shaft 16 is braked by the casting control mechanism 22 to prevent backlash.
[0064]
When the device arrives, the handle 2 is rotated. Then, the clutch is turned on by a return mechanism (not shown). In this state, for example, retrieving is repeated to wait for the fish to hit. When the fish hits, the handle 2 is rotated to wind up the fishing line. At this time, it may be necessary to adjust the drag force depending on the size of the fish. At this time, the star drag 3 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the drag force. When the star drag 3 is rotated, the nut portion 36 moves back and forth in the axial direction, and the drag force changes. At this time, the sounding member 37 does not rotate because it is locked to the handle shaft 30. For this reason, the sounding pin 47 repeatedly generates a collision with the sounding hole 37a.
[0065]
On the other hand, when disassembling the star drag 3 for cleaning or the like, first, the screw 2e is removed and the handle arm 2a is removed from the handle shaft. Subsequently, the nut 2d is removed from the handle shaft 30, and the seat plate 2c is removed. When the seat plate 2c is removed, the operation portion main body 35 of the star drag 3 can be removed from the handle shaft 30. At this time, since the sound output member 37 is attached by the spring member 39 so as not to drop off from the operation section main body 35, the first sound generation mechanism 34 is not disassembled. In order to disassemble the first sound generating mechanism 34, the spring member 39 may be removed from the operation section main body 35.
[0066]
When disassembling the casting control mechanism 22, first, the braking cap 52 is rotated counterclockwise to be removed from the boss 6c. In this state, since the storage member 57 is attached by the screw member 58 so as not to fall off from the brake cap 52, the second sound generation mechanism 53 does not disassemble. To disassemble the second sounding mechanism 53, the screw member 58 may be removed from the braking cap 52.
