Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing spinning reel, and more particularly to a fishing spinning reel characterized by a protective cover that protects the rear and lower portions of the reel body.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a fishing spinning reel is configured to wind and hold a fishing line on a spool supported on a reel body by rotation of a rotor driven by rotation of a handle supported on the reel body. Such fishing spinning reels generally prevent the reel body from being scratched, and the surface treatment layer is peeled off to prevent corrosion from being generated from the wound. A protective cover for protecting the rear and lower portions of the reel body is provided for the main purpose of mitigation. In view of the main purpose described above, it is desirable that such a protective cover cover as wide a range as possible and be firmly attached. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, one end side is a leg portion of the reel body. It is common to fix to a reel main body without generating backlash by fixing to the reel main body with a locking claw, and fixing to the reel main body via a fixing member (screw).

  However, in the configuration as disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the hole (screw hole) through which the fixing member is inserted is formed in the leg portion of the reel body, the strength of the leg portion is insufficient. Has been pointed out. In order to make up for such a lack of strength, it is necessary to make the legs thicker, which inevitably tends to increase the weight of the reel body, which hinders weight reduction of the entire reel. .

In order to solve the above-described problems, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a configuration in which a protective cover is firmly attached without attaching a fixing member to a leg portion of a reel body. That is, in Patent Document 2, a protective cover is attached from the rear end side of the reel body via a fixing member (screw), and the protective cover is formed on the lower portion of the reel body when the fixing member is tightened. An inclined surface is formed between the rear portion and the lower portion of the reel body so as to be displaced toward the joint portion, thereby covering the lower area of the rear end of the reel body while preventing the protective cover from rattling. Such a configuration is disclosed. Further, for example, Patent Document 3 discloses a configuration in which a fixing member (screw) is screwed from the rear end obliquely lower side of the reel body, and a double protective cover that covers the lower region from the rear portion of the reel body is attached. A protective cover mounting structure is disclosed in which backlash between protective covers is suppressed by using a tightening force when tightening a fixing member.

  However, in the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 2 described above, the outer surface (lower surface) of the protective cover is locked to the engaging portion formed at the end of the inclined surface formed on the reel body. Corrosion occurs because gaps or steps are generated in the part, and dust, dust, or coma etc. are easily collected in this part, and seawater is retained in the garbage or dust when seawater is applied. There is a risk of triggering. In addition, when the mating surface of the reel body and the protective cover is inclined and abuts both, and the fixing member is screwed in from the rear side, the end portion of the protective cover is moved to the engaging portion side using the inclined surface. Due to the configuration to be displaced, the shape of the reel body and the protective cover is restricted, limiting the degree of freedom of design, and at the same time, the shape of the protective cover is configured to cover the rear and lower parts of the reel body widely It becomes impossible to do.

  In addition, since the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 3 has a double structure as the protective cover, the rear and lower portions of the reel body are wider than the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 2 described above. Although it is possible to cover, since the distance between the both ends of the protective cover and the fixing member mounting portion is increased, the fastening force of the fixing member does not sufficiently act on the end of the protective cover, and the protective cover There is a possibility that a gap may be formed between both ends and the reel body. That is, it is possible to prevent backlash between the double protective covers, but backlash between the reel body and the protective cover cannot be suppressed.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-described problems, and can widely protect the rear and lower portions of the reel body, and is securely fixed to the reel body to cause backlash and gaps. An object of the present invention is to provide a spinning reel for fishing with a protective cover attached.

In order to achieve the above-described object, a fishing spinning reel according to the present invention winds a fishing line around a spool supported by a reel body by rotation of a rotor driven by rotation of a handle supported by the reel body. A fixing member that holds and protects the rear and lower portions of the reel body, and a fixing member that fixes the protection cover to the reel body from the lower side toward the upper side; and the reel body A locking portion that is provided at a rear portion and a rear portion of the protective cover, and engages with each other when the protective cover is attached to the reel body by the fixing member, and the rear portion of the protective cover is a reel when the fixing member is fixed. At least one of the locking portion of the reel body and the locking portion of the protective cover is fixed to the fixing member so as to be pressed against the rear portion of the main body. Inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the direction, the engaging portion of the respective, characterized in that provided in the occluded space between the reel body rear and the protective cover.

  According to the configuration described above, since the protective cover is fixed by the fixing member from the lower side of the reel body to the upper side, the lower and rear parts of the reel body can be covered in a wide range, and In covering the rear part over a wide range, it is not necessary to attach the fixing member to the reel body leg part, so that the reel body leg part can be made thinner. Further, when fixing the fixing member when attaching the protective cover, the protective cover is forcibly directed toward the rear part of the reel body by the inclined structure of the locking part provided at the rear part of the reel body and the rear part of the protective cover. As described above, it is possible to cover the rear area of the reel main body widely, and there is no gap between the protective cover and the reel main body, and no looseness occurs. Mounting structure.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a fishing spinning reel in which the rear and lower portions of the reel body are widely protected and a protective cover that is securely fixed to the reel body and does not have a backlash or a gap is attached. can get.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a spinning reel for fishing according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 are views showing a first embodiment of a fishing spinning reel according to the present invention, FIG. 1 is a side view showing an overall configuration, and FIG. 2 is a state of attaching a protective cover. FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view, FIG. 3 is a view showing a state where a protective cover is removed from the reel body, FIG. 4 is a view showing a state where the protective cover is attached to the reel body, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the main part in FIG. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view showing the operation of the protective cover when the fixing member is tightened.

  A spinning reel 1 for fishing is synchronized with a reel body 2 having legs 2a for mounting on a fishing rod, a rotor 3 rotatably disposed in front of the reel body 2, and a rotational motion of the rotor 3. And a spool 5 arranged to be movable back and forth. A handle shaft is rotatably supported in the reel body 2, and a handle 7 is attached to the protruding end portion. As is well known, a power transmission mechanism is disposed in the reel body 2 so as to convert the rotational operation of the handle 7 into the rotational motion of the rotor 3 and the back-and-forth reciprocating motion of the spool 5. Has been.

  The reel body 2 is formed of a material that can be reduced in weight, for example, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, synthetic resin, or the like, and if necessary, a decorative layer for improving the appearance is applied to the surface thereof. ing. A protective cover 10 having a predetermined thickness is fixed to the rear area of the reel body 2 so as to cover the entire area from the lower part to the rear part of the reel body 2, thereby protecting the rear area of the reel body 2. ing. The protective cover 10 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin, or a metal material such as SUS or aluminum for the purpose of alleviating the impact when dropped.

  The protective cover 10 includes a lower portion 10a that is substantially flush with the lower surface 2b of the reel body 2 and a rear portion that is substantially flush with the rear surface 2c of the reel body 2 when the protective cover 10 is fixed to the rear region of the reel body 2. 10b. That is, in the rear area of the reel body 2, when the protective cover 10 is fixed, a mounting lower surface 2b 'and a mounting rear surface 2c' that are depressed by the thickness of the protective cover are formed. The lower surface 2b and the mounting lower surface 2b The edge 10c of the lower part 10a of the protective cover 10 is in contact with the step 2e between and the edge 10d of the rear 10b of the protective cover 10 is in contact with the step 2f between the rear surface 2c and the mounting rear surface 2c '. It comes to stick.

  As a result, when the protective cover 10 is fixed to the reel body 2, the lower surface 2 b of the reel body 2 and the lower portion 10 a of the protective cover 10 are substantially flush with each other when viewed as a whole reel. A lower portion that forms the lower surface is formed, and the rear surface 2c of the reel body 2 and the rear portion 10b of the protective cover 10 are substantially flush with each other to form a rear portion that is the rearmost surface of the reel body 2.

  The protective cover 10 may have any shape as long as it covers the rear area of the reel body 2, and as shown in the figure, an intermediate portion 10f that is inclined between the lower portion 10a and the rear portion 10b is formed. Alternatively, the lower portion 10a and the rear portion 10b may be formed so as to directly intersect without forming the intermediate portion 10f. Further, the intermediate portion 10f may be configured by a curved surface having a predetermined curvature.

  As described later, the abutting structure between the reel body 2 and the protective cover 10 fixes the protective cover 10 from the lower portion 10a side to the upper side (the fixing direction is D1), and this fixing is performed. At this time, since the rear portion 10b is pressed in the direction of the arrow D2, the step portion 2e and the step portion 2f receive the respective edges 10c and 10d of the protective cover 10 in the pressure contact directions D1 and D2, respectively. It is preferable to be inclined. Accordingly, it is preferable that the end edges 10c and 10d of the protective cover are also inclined in the same inclination direction so as to be in close contact with the inclined surfaces of the step 2e and the step 2f. Of course, the abutting structure between the protective cover 10 and the reel main body 2 may be such that no gap is generated between the two when fixed. For example, the step 2e and the edge 10c of the protective cover 10 are provided. It is possible to make appropriate modifications such as making the direction of contact between the step 2f along the direction D1 and the direction of contact between the step 2f and the edge 10d of the protective cover 10 along the direction D2. It is.

  A through hole 10h is formed in the lower portion 10a of the protective cover 10 so that a screw 12 as a fixing member for fixing the protective cover 10 to the reel body 2 is inserted. The through hole 10h is provided on the front side (rotor side) of the reel body 2 so as to widely cover the lower side of the reel body and to obtain a strong pressing force at the close contact portion with the reel body 2. It is preferable. On the other hand, the mounting lower surface 2b ′ of the reel body 2 is formed with a female screw portion 2h so that the screw 12 is screwed in corresponding to the through hole 10h.

  In this case, the periphery of the female screw portion 2h is formed as a protruding portion 2k, and the protective cover 10 is positioned by fitting the through hole 10h into the protruding portion 2k. That is, the protective cover 10 is positioned by fitting the through hole 10h of the protective cover 10 into the projecting portion 2k, and in this state, the screw 12 is turned upward (toward the D1 direction). The protective cover 10 is fixed to the reel body 2. And it is preferable to form the recessed part 10k around the through-hole 10h of the protective cover 10, and by configuring in this way, the head 12a of the screw 12 is connected to the lower part 10a of the protective cover 10 when the screw 12 is tightened. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a step from being generated.

  Further, at the rear part of the reel body 2 and the rear part of the protective cover 10, when the protective cover 10 is fixed to the reel body 2, the locking parts 20 and 30 (reel main body side locking part 20, protection part) that engage with each other are provided. Cover side locking portions 30) are respectively provided. These locking portions 20 and 30 are portions that engage with each other when the screw 12 is fixed, and the rear portion 10b of the protective cover 10 is moved to the rear portion of the reel body 2 as the screw 12 is tightened in the D1 direction. It is formed so as to move toward (to generate a force in the D2 direction). In other words, the locking portions 20 and 30 cause a force in the direction of the arrow D1 to act on the protective cover 10 by tightening the screws 12 described above. In this direction, the rear portion of the protective cover 10 is against the reel unit. In order to generate a component force in the direction D2, which is in the direction of pressure contact, both engage with each other in a state inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the direction D1.

  Specifically, the locking portion 20 is formed at a substantially central portion of the mounting rear surface 2c ′ of the reel body 2 so as to protrude obliquely downward, and in a lower region of the locking portion 20 The housing recess 21 is formed so that the locking portion 30 can be positioned when the protective cover is attached. The locking portion 30 is formed so as to protrude obliquely upward at a substantially central portion of the inner surface of the rear portion of the protective cover 10, and the upper surface 30 a of the locking portion 10 is attached to the locking portion 20 when the protective cover 10 is attached. It is formed so that it can move while being in contact with the lower surface 20a. That is, both the locking portion 20 and the locking portion 30 are engaged with each other while inclining at a predetermined angle with respect to the D1 direction, and the fastening force in the direction of the arrow D1 is applied to the protective cover 10. At this time, the protective cover 10 is formed so as to generate a force that presses the rear portion 10b toward the reel body.

  3 and 4, when the protective cover 10 is attached to the reel main body 2, the above-described locking portions 20 and 30 are provided on the rear portion (rear mounting surface 2c ') of the reel main body 2 and the protective cover 10. Therefore, the engaging portions 20 and 30 are not exposed in appearance. Further, the locking portions 20 and 30 may be formed to extend a predetermined length along the width direction so as to be engaged in the width direction (perpendicular to the paper surface) of the reel body 2. However, it may be formed at a predetermined interval, for example, at two locations on both sides in the width direction.

Next, functions and effects of the fishing spinning reel having the above-described configuration will be described.
When attaching the protective cover 10 to the reel body 2, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the protective cover 10 is positioned by fitting the through hole 10h of the protective cover 10 into the protruding portion 2k of the reel body 2, In this state, the screw 12 is screwed upward (toward the direction D1). Before the screw 12 is screwed in, the rear portion 10b of the protective cover 10 is not pressed against the reel body 2 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5 and the dotted line in FIG. As it is inserted and tightened in the direction of arrow D1, the rear portion 10b of the protective cover 10 is pressed against the rear portion of the reel body 2 by the force in the direction of arrow D2 due to the engagement relationship of the locking portions 20 and 30 described above. Finally, as shown by the solid lines in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the reel body 2 is fixed so as to be integrated and the protection function of the reel body 2 is exhibited. At this time, the edges 10c and 10d of the protective cover 10 are in pressure contact with the step portions 2e and 2f, respectively, and the reel body 2 and the protective cover 10 are fixed without rattling.

  According to the mounting structure of the protective cover 10 as described above, the rear portion 10b of the protective cover 10 is fixed by the engagement relationship between the locking portions 20 and 30 only by fixing from below with the screw 12 as a fixing member. Since it can be pressed toward the reel body 2 side, it is not necessary to assemble the fixing member from a plurality of directions. In particular, at the time of fixing, the rear region of the protective cover 10 is forcibly subjected to a pressure contact action toward the reel body 2, so that the protective cover 10 is covered in a wide range from the lower part to the rear part of the reel body 2. In addition, the above-described pressure contact action does not cause a gap at both ends of the protective cover 10 and can reliably prevent backlash and displacement.

  Further, since the fixing member for inserting the leg 2a can be eliminated, the structure is simplified, and at the same time, the strength is not reduced by forming the screw hole in the leg 2a. The diameter of the reel body 2 can be reduced, and the weight of the reel body 2 can be easily reduced while maintaining the strength.

  Further, portions where the protective cover 10 and the reel body 2 are joined (the step portion 2e and the edge 10c of the lower portion 10a of the protective cover 10 and the edge portion 10f of the step portion 2f and the rear portion 10b of the protective cover 10) serve as a guide surface. Since it is not used, but merely used as a pressure contact surface at both ends, the shape of the protective cover 10 is not restricted and a free design is possible.

  Furthermore, since both the locking portions 20 and 30 are located in a closed space between the protective cover 10 and the reel body 2, no gaps or steps are generated in appearance, such as Komaze and dust. Since adhesion is prevented and no salt accumulates, the occurrence of corrosion can be greatly reduced.

Next, a modification of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the above-described embodiment, the locking portion 20 of the reel body 2 and the locking portion 30 of the protective cover 10 are both in contact with each other while being inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the direction D1 that is the fixing direction of the screw 12. However, any one of them may be inclined at a predetermined angle. That is, since any one of the locking portions is inclined, the rear portion 10b of the protective cover 10 can be guided toward the reel body when the screw 12 is fixed.

  Specifically, as in the modification shown in FIG. 7, the locking portion 22 formed on the rear mounting surface 2 c ′ side of the reel body 2 is replaced with the upper surface of the inclined locking portion 30 formed on the protective cover 10 side. The protrusions 22a may be provided so as to be in contact with 30a (so as to make point contact), or the locking portions 32 formed on the protective cover 10 side as in the modification shown in FIG. May be configured to have a protrusion 32a so as to abut on the upper surface 20a of the inclined locking portion 20 formed on the reel body 2 side (so as to make point contact).

  Even if comprised in this way, while obtaining the same operation effect as above-mentioned embodiment, since it is not contact of surfaces, it can prevent effectively that backlash occurs between both at the time of attachment. Is possible.

  9 to 11 are views showing a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a view showing an engagement portion between the reel body and the protective cover. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. FIG. 11 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a pair of locking portions 35 formed on the protective cover 10 are formed inside the both side walls of the protective cover 10 so as to protrude toward the center. Each locking portion 35 is formed so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the fixing direction D1 of the screw 12, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, a pair of locking portions 25 formed on the reel body 2 side are formed so as to protrude downward on both sides of the rear portion of the reel body 2. The housing recess 26 is formed so that the locking portion 35 can be positioned.

  Then, when attaching the protective cover 10, each locking portion 35 of the protective cover 10 is placed in the receiving recess 26 so that the upper surface 35 a can move while abutting against the lower surface 25 a of the locking portion 25. positioned. That is, both the locking part 25 and the locking part 35 are inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the direction D1 so as to be in contact with each other and engage with the protective cover 10 with the arrow D1 as in the above-described embodiment. When a direction tightening force is applied, the rear portion 10b of the protective cover 10 is pressed against the reel unit side.

  According to such a configuration, the same operational effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained, and the locking portions 35 of the protective cover 10 are integrally formed along the side walls with respect to both side walls of the protective cover 10. As a result, sink marks are not generated in the peripheral area during integral molding with synthetic resin or the like, and the appearance can be improved.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to above-described embodiment, It can change variously.

  In the above-described embodiment, the locking parts 20, 22, 25 formed on the reel body 2 and the locking parts 30, 32, 35 formed on the protective cover 10 are formed in the closed region between them. However, it may be formed at a position where it is exposed to the outside, or may be formed at an end region where they are in pressure contact. Further, the fixing member (screw 12) for fixing the protective cover 10 to the reel body 2 may be provided at a plurality of locations instead of at one location. In this case, for the reasons described above, the fixing member is preferably arranged at a position other than the leg portion 2a.

  Further, the position where the fixing member is provided is preferably formed at the end as much as possible so that the edge (pressure contact portion) at the lower part of the protective cover 10 is securely fixed and does not float. By installing in such a position, it is possible to increase the area covered by the protective cover 10 as much as possible.

  Further, in the present invention, when the locking portions 20, 22, 32 of the reel body 2 and the locking portions 30, 32, 35 of the protective cover 10 are subjected to a tightening force generated when fixing the fixing member, the protective cover is applied. It is only necessary that the rear portion 10b of the 10 is pressed against the reel body side, and the fixing position of the fixing member, the installation position and the inclination angle of each locking portion provided so as to be inclined with respect to that direction. The above can be appropriately modified. For example, the installation position of the fixing member may be formed on the rear side of the reel main body (near the intermediate portion 10f and the intermediate portion 20f in FIGS. 1 and 2).
