[0003]
The reel main body generally has a reel body and a T-shaped hook mounting portion which are integrally formed by injection-molded resin or aluminum die cast, and a cover portion for closing the opening of the reel body. The reel body is provided with a mechanism for rotating the rotor and moving the spool back and forth. In many cases, the rear portion of the reel body protrudes rearward for reasons such as placing the saddle mounting portion forward and accommodating an oscillating mechanism for moving the spool back and forth.
[0004]
The rotor includes a cylindrical portion that is rotatably supported by the reel body of the reel unit, and the arm portions of the pair disposed opposite the rear outer periphery of the cylindrical portion, which is mounted pivotably on the arms veil And an arm. Both arm portions are formed integrally with the cylindrical portion, extend outward in the radial direction, bend and extend forward and bend. The bent portion of the arm portion normally protrudes outward from the reel body of the reel body.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the spinning reel having the conventional reel body, the rear part of the protruding reel body and the bent part of the arm part are likely to come into contact with each other. For example, if the spinning reel is left on a bank or a rocky area, the rear part of the reel body or the bent part of the arm part easily comes into contact with the surface of a fishing field such as a hard bank or rocky field, and the contact part is damaged or damaged.
[0006]
The subject of this invention is making it difficult to damage the protrusion part of a spinning reel.
[0007]

[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1 and 2, a spinning reel according to an embodiment of the present invention is a reel that is mounted on a fishing rod and winds a fishing line around an axis along the fishing rod. The spinning reel includes a reel body 2 having a rotating handle 1, a rotor 3 rotatably supported at the front of the reel body 2, and a fishing line attached to the outer periphery of the reel 3 so as to be movable forward and backward on the reel body 2. Is provided with a spool 4 around which is wound.
[0013]
The reel main body 2 has a reel body 2a and a hook mounting portion 2b disposed on the top of the reel body 2a so as to be inclined forward. A corner 2c is formed from the rear part to the lower part of the reel body 2a. The rod mounting portion 2b is a substantially T-shaped member for mounting the reel on the fishing rod, and is formed integrally with the reel body 2a on the top of the reel body 2a.
[0014]
A reel protection member 5 formed by bending, for example, a stainless steel wire is attached to the corner 2c of the reel body 2a. The reel protection member 5 is a rectangular ring-shaped member formed by being bent so as to cover the corner portion 2 c, and is fixed to the corner portion 2 c by two screws 7. By mounting the reel protection member 5 on the corner 2c in this way, the protruding portion of the reel is hardly damaged and is not easily damaged.
[0015]
Inside the reel body 2a, there is a rotor drive mechanism (not shown) for rotating the rotor 3, and the spool 4 is moved back and forth along the axis of rotation to uniformly wind the fishing line around the spool 4. Level winding mechanism (not shown) and a rotor braking mechanism 6 for braking the rotor are provided.
[0016]
The rotor 3 includes a cylindrical portion 3a, and a first rotor arm 3b and a second rotor arm 3c provided opposite to each other on the side of the cylindrical portion 3a. A boss 3f having a through hole 3e is formed at the center of the front wall 3d of the cylindrical portion 3a. The spool shaft 8 and the pinion gear 12 pass through the through hole 3e. The pinion gear 12 meshes with a master gear (not shown) attached to the rotation shaft of the handle 1.
[0017]
The first rotor arm 3b and the second rotor arm 3c are formed integrally with the cylindrical portion 3a, respectively, extend radially outward from the rear portion of the cylindrical portion 3a, and then bend and extend forward. A bail arm 9 for guiding the fishing line to the spool 4 is swingably mounted between the first rotor arm 3b and the second rotor arm 3c. For example, reel protection members 10a and 10b formed by bending a stainless steel wire in a U shape are mounted on the outer peripheral side of the bent portion 3g of each rotor arm 3b and 3c, respectively. The reel protection members 10a and 10b are attached to the rotor arms 3b and 3c by caulking and fixing both ends bent to the rotor arms 3b and 3c. Thus, by covering the bent portions 3g of the rotor arms 3b and 3c with the reel protection members 10a and 10b, the bent portions 3g are hardly damaged and are not easily damaged.
[0018]
The spool 4 is disposed between the first rotor arm 3 b and the second rotor arm 3 c of the rotor 3 and is attached to the tip of the spool shaft 8. The spool 4 has a bobbin trunk 4a around which the fishing line is wound, a skirt 4b integrally formed at the rear part of the bobbin trunk 4a, and a flange 4c fixed to the front end of the bobbin trunk 4a. Yes. The spool shaft 8 can be moved in the front-rear direction by a level wind mechanism.
[0019]
The rotor braking mechanism 6 includes a braking unit 20 and a braking lever 21 for braking the braking unit 20.
[0020]
The brake unit 20 includes a brake unit main body 31 that is braked by the brake lever 21 and a one-way clutch 32 that rotates the brake unit main body 31 only in conjunction with the rotation of the rotor 3 in the yarn drawing direction.
[0021]
The brake lever 21 is swingably supported by the reel body 2a by a support shaft 33 at a boundary portion between the reel body 2a and the saddle mounting portion 2b, and counterclockwise in FIG. 1 by a biasing member (not shown). It is energized. The brake lever 21 has an operation lever portion 22 that is curved from the support shaft 33 and extends obliquely upward, and a braking action portion 23 is provided at a tip that is curved from the support shaft 33 and extends obliquely downward. . The distal end of the operation lever portion 22 is disposed in the vicinity of the heel mounting portion 2b. Further, a protection lever portion 24 extending forward is branched from the middle of the operation lever portion 22. The tip of the protection lever portion 24 extends to substantially the same position as the bail arm 9.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 2, the brake unit main body 31 includes a brake cylinder 40 disposed concentrically with the rotor 3 on the inner peripheral side of the rotor 3, and a rotating cylinder that supports the brake cylinder 40 in a swingable and non-rotatable manner. 41 and a brake shoe 42 attached to the reel body 2a.
[0023]
The brake cylinder 40 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and the tip of the outer peripheral surface thereof is disposed between the brake shoe 42 and the braking action portion 23 of the brake lever 21. The front end of the rotary cylinder 41 is integrally rotated by the one-way clutch 32 to rotate the rotor 3 in the yarn unwinding direction, and is supported so that the rotational force of the rotor 3 does not act at the time of winding. Is supported rotatably.
[0024]
As described above, the brake cylinder 40 is supported by the rotary cylinder 41 so as not to be rotatable and swingable. Therefore, when the brake is applied by the brake lever 21, the brake cylinder 40 is inclined. However, since the brake cylinder 40 is swingably supported by the rotary cylinder 41, a bending moment does not act on the rotary cylinder 41 and the pinion gear 12 at the time of braking, which makes them difficult to rotate and does not affect the rotation of the rotor 3. Is hard to get heavy.
[0025]
The one-way clutch 32 is an outer ring idle type, and an outer ring is fixed to the cylindrical portion of the rotor 3, and an inner ring is fixed to the outer periphery of the tip of the rotating cylinder 41. The one-way clutch 32 transmits the rotational force to the rotating cylinder 41 only when the rotor 3 rotates in the yarn feeding direction. For this reason, when the rotor 3 rotates in the yarn feeding direction, the rotating cylinder 41 rotates and braking by the braking mechanism 6 becomes possible. On the other hand, when the rotor 3 rotates in the yarn winding direction, the rotating cylinder 41 does not rotate and braking by the rotor braking mechanism 6 cannot be performed.
[0026]
Next, the operation of the reel will be described.
[0027]
During casting, the bail arm 9 is tilted to the thread releasing posture side, and the fishing rod is gripped by the upper portion of the reel mounting portion 2b of the reel, and the operation lever portion 22 of the brake lever 21 is grasped and swung by the hand holding the fishing rod. The fishing line wound around the outer periphery of 4 is fed out. At this time, the rotor 3 hardly rotates.
[0028]
When the fishing line is wound up, the bail arm 9 is returned to the line winding posture. When the handle 1 is rotated in this state, this rotational force is transmitted to the pinion gear 12 through the rotation shaft of the handle and the master gear. The rotational force transmitted to the pinion gear 12 is transmitted to the rotor 3 via the front part of the pinion gear. At this time, since the rotor 3 rotates in the yarn winding direction, the rotational force is not transmitted to the rotating cylinder 41 by the one-way clutch 32 as described above. When the pinion gear 12 rotates, the rotation is transmitted to the level wind mechanism by an intermediate gear (not shown), the spool shaft 8 reciprocates in the front-rear direction, and the fishing line is evenly wound around the spool 4. At this time, the rotor 3 rotates, but since the protective lever portion 24 is disposed between the brake lever 21 and the rotor 3, even if the fishing rod is gripped and the reel is operated, Hard to touch.
[0029]
When the rotor 3 is rotated in the reverse direction (rotation in the thread feeding direction) when the fish is caught, the brake lever 21 is operated to exchange with the fish. When the fishing line is pulled by the fish and the rotor 3 rotates reversely, the rotational force is transmitted to the rotating cylinder 41 via the one-way clutch 32 and further to the braking cylinder 40 as described above, and the braking cylinder 40 is connected to the rotor 3. Rotates as a unit. When the operating lever portion 22 of the brake lever 21 is gripped with the fishing rod and brought close to the fishing rod, the braking action portion 23 presses the inner periphery of the tip of the outer peripheral surface of the brake cylinder 40 and tilts the brake cylinder 40 to press against the brake shoe 42. To do. As a result, a braking force acts on the rotor 3 that rotates in the reverse direction.
[0030]
The amount of reverse rotation of the rotor 3 can be arbitrarily adjusted by adjusting the braking force by adjusting the force applied to the braking lever 21. Further, at the time of reverse braking, since the rotor 3 is pulled by the fish and reverses, attention is distracted because it is difficult for the angler to be aware of the rotation of the rotor 3. Further, when the braking is loosened during the reverse rotation, the braking lever 21 approaches the rotor 3 side. Even in such a case, since the protective arm 24 is provided, even if the brake lever 21 is grasped together with the fishing rod, the grasped finger does not contact the rotor 3.
[0031]
In addition, when fishing is not performed, even if a fishing rod with a reel is placed on a fishing spot or removed from the fishing rod, the protruding portion of the reel is protected by the reel protection member 5 and the reel protection members 10a and 10b. As a result, the reel is less likely to be damaged or damaged. In addition, such protective members 5, 10a, 10b made of wire can be reduced in weight as compared with those made of plate material, and have a high degree of freedom in shape, and can cover and protect projections of various shapes. Moreover, the design becomes new and preferable.
[0032]
Other Embodiment
(A) The material of each protection member is not limited to stainless steel, and any material may be used as long as it is a wire.
[0033]
(B) The spinning reel is not limited to the lever brake type, and the present invention can be applied to various spinning reels such as a normal spinning reel and a closed-face spinning reel.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, since the rear portion of the protruding reel body is protected by the wire-made reel protection member, the rear portion of the protruding reel body is not easily damaged even if the reel is left in a fishing spot or the like. Moreover, a new design reel can be obtained without incurring an increase in weight due to the protective member made of wire.
