Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a dual-bearing reel, and more particularly to a dual-bearing reel that is attached to a fishing rod and feeds and winds a fishing line.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, the dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool that is rotatably mounted on the reel body, and a handle for rotating the spool. The reel main body has a pair of side plates disposed so as to face each other with a predetermined interval, and a pair of side covers that respectively cover the pair of side plates. Further, between the pair of side covers, for example, a rotating member such as a counter gear of a spool sensor that rotates in conjunction with the spool is provided in front of the spool, and the rotating member is a boss protruding from the side plate toward the side cover. The unit is rotatably mounted.
[0003]
Examples of this type of dual-bearing reel include a manually wound counter reel in which a wiring member such as a lead wire is disposed between one side plate and a side cover, and an electric reel having a motor for rotating a spool. In such an electric reel, for example, power is supplied to the motor via a wiring member from a connector portion mounted in front of the side cover.
In this dual-bearing reel, since the rotating member is disposed on the side cover side of the side plate, for example, when the side cover is assembled with the wiring member attached to the connector portion of the side cover, the wiring member contacts the rotating member. There is a risk that. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, JP-A-2001-352871 discloses a cover member that covers a rotating member.
[0004]
In the dual-bearing reel disclosed in the above publication, the cover member is arranged separately from the side plate so as to cover the rotating member, and is screwed and fixed to the plurality of boss portions erected on the side plate by a plurality of screw members. Yes.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional dual-bearing reel, since the cover member that covers the rotating member is separately mounted on the side plate, contact between the rotating member and the wiring member can be prevented. However, since the cover member is screwed and fixed to the plurality of boss portions erected on the side plate by the plurality of screw members, it takes time to form the boss portion, which may further increase the manufacturing cost.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to prevent contact between a rotating member and a wiring member in a dual bearing reel with an inexpensive configuration.

In this case, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed by providing a plurality of cylindrical portions on the cover member.
[0014]
The dual-bearing reel according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the dual-bearing reel according to any one of the first to seventh aspects, wherein the cover member is formed to have a non-circular outer shape. In this case, for example, the cover member can be formed in accordance with the shape of the first side plate.
A dual-bearing reel according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is the dual-bearing reel according to any of the first to seventh aspects, wherein the cover member is formed to have a circular outer shape. In this case, the cover member can be formed in accordance with the shape of the rotating member.
[0015]
A dual-bearing reel according to a tenth aspect of the present invention is the dual-bearing reel according to any of the first to ninth aspects, further comprising a screw member that fixes the cover member to the boss portion. In this case, the cover member can be easily and reliably fixed to the boss portion by inserting the screw member into the boss portion.
