Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a handle assembly that can be screwed onto a main gear shaft that is rotatably mounted on a reel body of a spinning reel, and a spinning reel on which the handle assembly is mounted.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Spinning reels generally have a reel body that has a handle assembly and is mounted on a fishing rod, a spool for spools that is mounted on the reel body so as to be movable back and forth, and a fishing line that is rotatably supported by the reel body and winds fishing lines around the spool. A rotation transmission mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the handle assembly to the rotor, and a reverse rotation prevention mechanism for prohibiting the reverse rotation of the rotor.
[0003]
The rotation transmission mechanism includes a main gear, a main gear shaft provided with the main gear, and a pinion gear engaged with the main gear. A rotor is connected to the front portion of the pinion gear. The reverse rotation prevention mechanism includes a one-way clutch that can be switched between an operating state and a non-operating state, and prohibits the reverse rotation of the rotor in the operating state.
[0004]
The handle assembly has a shaft portion, an arm portion extending in a radial direction from the shaft portion, and a handle portion attached to the tip of the arm, and the shaft portion can be attached from both ends of the main gear shaft. . As a result, the spinning reel handle assembly can be mounted on either the left or right side of the reel body.
In order to allow the shaft portion of the handle assembly to be mounted from both ends of the main gear, there are some in which two types of female screw portions having different screw diameters and screw directions are formed at both ends of the main gear. Here, the large-diameter female screw portion is, for example, a left-threaded screw portion formed at the left end of the main gear shaft, and the small-diameter female screw portion is deeper by the screw length of the large-diameter female screw portion from the right end. It is the screw part of the right-hand thread formed in the side.
[0005]
In addition, a male screw portion that is screwed into a small-diameter female screw portion is formed at the tip of the shaft portion of the handle assembly, and a male screw portion that is screwed into a large-diameter female screw portion is formed adjacent to the male screw portion. Has been.
In the spinning reel having such a configuration, when the handle assembly is mounted on the right side of the reel body and the handle assembly is rotated with the right hand, the handle assembly is inserted into the main gear shaft from the right side of the reel body. Then, while rotating the handle assembly clockwise, the small-diameter male screw portion is screwed into the small-diameter female screw portion formed on the back side and attached to the main gear shaft. On the other hand, when the handle assembly is mounted on the left side of the reel body and the handle assembly is rotated with the left hand, the handle assembly is inserted into the main gear shaft from the left side of the reel body. Then, while rotating the handle assembly counterclockwise, the large-diameter male screw portion is screwed into the large-diameter female screw portion formed at the left end and attached to the main gear shaft.
[0006]
In this way, by setting the left side to the left screw and the right side to the right screw, the direction in which the handle assembly is rotated and the direction of the screw are the same when winding the thread, and when the handle assembly is rotated in the thread winding direction, the screw The handle assembly is less likely to loosen with respect to the main gear shaft.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional configuration, since the rotation of the handle assembly at the time of winding the yarn is the same as the direction of the screw, the handle assembly is hardly loosened at the time of winding the yarn. However, when fishing that performs a winding operation while repeating a violent squeezing operation called pumping, a force in the line-feeding direction acts on the rotor due to the resistance of the device at the time of squeezing. At this time, the rotor is in a state where reverse rotation is prohibited by the reverse rotation prevention mechanism. However, a rotational force in the direction opposite to that when winding the yarn acts on the main gear shaft connected to the rotor via the pinion gear due to the slight backlash prevention mechanism. At this time, since the handle assembly is supported by a hand, the handle assembly is in a state where rotation is almost prohibited. As a result, the main gear shaft and the handle assembly may rotate relative to each other in the screw loosening direction, and the handle assembly may be loosened with respect to the main gear shaft. Also, during pumping, the handle assembly may be lifted up at the same time as the fishing rod is scooped up. When the handle assembly is lifted up in this way, the handle assembly may rotate relative to the main gear shaft in the loosening direction depending on the rotational position of the handle assembly.
[0008]
An object of the present invention is to make a handle assembly difficult to loosen in a handle assembly screwed to a main gear shaft.
[0009]

[Reel operation and operation]
There are times when it is desired to change the mounting position of the handle assembly 1 when fishing. For example, during lure fishing or throw fishing, the handle assembly 1 is often mounted on the left side of the reel body 2 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 in order to operate the fishing rod with the dominant arm. In other cases, the handle assembly 1 is often mounted on the right side as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 in order to operate the handle assembly 1 with the dominant arm. The left and right mounting positions of the handle assembly 1 vary depending on individual preferences.
[0038]
When changing the mounting position of the handle assembly 1 from the left position shown in FIG. 4 to the right position shown in FIG. 3, the reverse rotation prevention mechanism 50 causes the rotor 3 to be in a reverse rotation prohibited state. Then, the slide member 37 of the locking mechanism 1b is moved to the left in FIG. 4 to release the engagement between the slide member 37 and the locking member 35 so that the handle body 1a can be rotated relative to the main gear shaft 10. When the handle main body 1a is rotated clockwise in this state, the reverse rotation of the rotor 3 is prohibited by the reverse rotation prevention mechanism 50. Therefore, the main gear shaft 10 does not reverse, and the second male screw portion 8b of the left screw and the second screw The screw engagement with the female screw portion 10d is gradually released, and the handle assembly 1 is detached from the main gear shaft 10. At this time, the locking mechanism 1b is separated from the contact portion 34, and the crank arm 7b can be folded.
[0039]
When the handle assembly 1 is detached from the main gear shaft 10, the two screws 19a on both the left and right sides are removed, and the shaft cover 19 and the perforated cover 19b are removed. Subsequently, the perforated cover 19b is attached to the recess 18a of the right boss portion 17a with two screws 19a. Then, the handle assembly 1 is inserted into the main gear shaft 10 from the right side of the reel body 2. Then, the first male screw portion 8a of the shaft portion 7c passes through the first through hole 10a of the main gear shaft 10 and comes into contact with the first female screw portion 10b. When the handle assembly 1 is rotated clockwise in this state, the first male screw portion 8a of the shaft portion 7c is screwed with the first female screw portion 10b, and the shaft portion 7c is fastened to the main gear shaft 10. At this time, as the first male threaded portion 8a is screwed, the shaft cover 39 comes into contact with the contact portion 34, and the collar 38 that comes into contact with the shaft cover 39 presses the locking member 35. 10e is engaged, and the locking member 35 and the main gear shaft 10 are non-rotatably coupled. Further, the crank arm 7b is fixed to the shaft portion 7c by a pressing member 36 sandwiched between the contact portion 34 and the main gear shaft 10.
[0040]
Then, with the shaft portion 7 c fastened to the main gear shaft 10, the slide member 37 is moved to the locking member 35 side, and the locking recess 37 c of the slide member 37 is locked to the locking projection 35 c of the locking member 35. The slide member 37 and the locking member 35 are connected so as not to rotate. As a result, the shaft portion 7 c and the main gear shaft 10 are non-rotatably coupled via the shaft cover 39, the slide member 37 and the locking member 35. For this reason, even if the force of the direction which a screw loosens acts, the screwing state of the handle assembly 1 is hard to loosen. Finally, the shaft cover 19 is attached to the boss portion 17a with two screws 19a to cover the boss portion 17b. Thus, the handle assembly 1 is mounted on the right side.

At the time of casting, the bail arm 44 is reversed to the thread releasing posture with the handle assembly 1 mounted at the left position shown in FIG. As a result, the first bail support member 40 and the second bail support member 42 swing. In this state, the fishing rod is cast while hooking the fishing line with the index finger of the hand holding the fishing rod. The fishing line is then released vigorously due to the weight of the device. When the handle assembly 1 is rotated in the yarn winding direction with, for example, the left hand in this state, the rotor 3 is rotated in the yarn winding direction by the main gear 11 and the pinion gear 12 of the rotor driving mechanism 5, and the bail arm 44 is rotated by the bail reversing mechanism 46. As a result, the line is returned to the line guiding posture and the fishing line is wound around the spool 4.

In this state, when fishing that performs a winding operation while repeating a severe squeezing operation called pumping is performed, a force in the line-feeding direction acts on the rotor 3 due to the resistance of the device at the time of sieving. As a result, a rotational force slightly opposite to that when winding the yarn acts on the main gear shaft 10 connected to the rotor 3 via the pinion gear 12. At this time, if the handle main body 1a and the main gear shaft 10 are not non-rotatably locked by the locking mechanism 1b, the handle assembly 1 is supported by a hand and thus is almost prohibited from rotating. Therefore, the main gear shaft 10 and the handle assembly rotate relative to each other in the screw loosening direction, and the handle assembly 1 may be loosened with respect to the main gear shaft 10. However, in the present embodiment, since the handle body 1a and the main gear shaft 10 are locked so as not to rotate by the locking mechanism 1b, they are difficult to rotate relative to each other, and the handle assembly 1 is attached to the main gear shaft 10. It becomes difficult to loosen. Therefore, even if the handle assembly 1 and the main gear shaft 10 are relatively rotated in a direction in which the locking mechanism 1b is loosened slightly, the locking mechanism 1b does not continue to loosen. Moreover, since the handle assembly 1 is mounted with a right screw when mounted on the right side and is mounted with a left screw when mounted on the left side, the handle assembly 1 is rotated when the handle assembly 1 is rotated in the yarn winding direction. 1 rotates in the direction in which the screw is tightened. For this reason, it is difficult to loosen when winding the yarn.

[Other Embodiments]
(A) In the above embodiment, the two screw portions are provided so as not to loosen the handle assembly. However, a locking mechanism is provided so that the handle assembly is non-rotatably locked to the main gear shaft. Therefore, even if the female screw portions having the same size and screw direction are formed at both ends of the main gear, the handle assembly can be made difficult to loosen. With such a configuration, it is possible to simplify the mounting structure of the handle assembly.

(B) In the above embodiment, the spinning reel having the front drag mechanism has been described as an example. However, the present invention can be applied to other forms of spinning reels such as a lever drag type spinning reel and a closed face type spinning reel. .
(C) The configuration of the chevron-shaped protrusion or the octagonal locking mechanism is an example, and the configuration of the locking mechanism may be any configuration as long as it is configured to lock non-rotatably, such as a key or a spline.
[0045]
(D) In the above embodiment, the crank arm 7b is a handle assembly that extends in one of the radial directions of the shaft portion 7c, but the crank arm extends outward in both the radial directions of the shaft portion. The present invention can also be applied to a handle assembly to which a portion is attached.
(E) In the above-described embodiment, the first male screw portion with the small diameter of the shaft portion is the right screw and the second male screw portion with the large diameter is the left screw, but the first male screw portion with the small diameter of the main gear shaft is the left side. If the second female screw portion having a large diameter is arranged on the right side, the first male screw portion of the shaft portion may be a left screw and the second male screw portion may be a right screw.

【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the handle main body and the main gear shaft can be non-rotatably locked by the locking mechanism in a state in which the male screw portion is screwed to the female screw portion, so that the screw is loosened by a scooping operation or the like. Even if the force acts on the main gear shaft, the main gear shaft and the handle body do not rotate relative to each other with a simple operation, and the handle assembly is less likely to loosen with respect to the main gear shaft.
