Description

  The present invention relates to a spinning reel for fishing, in which a rotor having a fishing line guide portion and a spool around which a fishing line is wound are arranged at the front of a reel body having legs attached to a fishing rod at the top.

  Generally, the reel body of a spinning reel for fishing incorporates a drive mechanism for rotating a rotor and an oscillating mechanism for moving a spool back and forth in a rigid reel body. A lid is attached. The end of the handle shaft protrudes laterally from the reel body, and the handle is attached to the end of the protruded handle shaft. When the handle is rotated, the drive mechanism and the oscillating mechanism are operated via the handle shaft, and the fishing line can be wound evenly on the spool that moves back and forth while rotating the rotor.

  Such spinning reels have a complicated outer shape with many protrusions, and are also affected by parting at the time of molding, and are printed or nameplates compared to other fishing reels such as dual-bearing reels. It is difficult to secure a wide space for decoration such as providing a wall. In addition, from the morphological surface with many protrusions, there is a characteristic that it is easily damaged when hit with another object or dropped. For this reason, there is one in which a wide cover body is mounted from the rear part of the reel body toward the leg part (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Such a spinning reel can be improved in decorativeness and visibility by attaching a large name plate formed in a part thereof to the reel body or printing on the outer surface of the cover body with a wide shape. .

  However, in a spinning reel in which such a cover body is provided on the reel body, the rear side of the reel body collides with other objects or falls, especially when it is carried, moved at a fishing spot, or during actual fishing. The impact force from the outside due to is easily transmitted to a drive unit such as a drive mechanism or an oscillating mechanism built in the reel body. Since these drive units are formed of extremely high-precision members, the drive units are easily damaged by these impact forces, and malfunctions such as inoperability are likely to occur. Such an initial failure of the internal mechanism cannot be confirmed from the outside, and the failure state may be found for the first time during use. In addition, due to an external impact, not only the cover body but also the reel body may be damaged and need to be replaced. Such a conventional spinning reel for fishing is inconvenient to replace when the cover body is damaged and is expensive.

  The present invention has been made based on such circumstances. When an impact force is applied from the outside, the present invention absorbs the impact force and makes it difficult to transmit the impact force to a drive unit built in the reel body. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing spinning reel capable of preventing the occurrence of problems such as breakage and malfunction in the body.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a fishing spinning spinner comprising a rotor having a fishing line guide portion and a spool around which a fishing line is wound at the front portion of a reel body having a leg portion mounted on a fishing rod at the top. A reel,
A cover body attaching portion having a notch portion opened rearward and laterally is formed at the rear portion of the reel body along the bottom surface from the rear surface of the reel body, and the support extends from the upper arm portion and the lower end portion of the upper arm portion to the front. by attaching the cover body formed in a substantially L shape having an arm portion to the cover body attaching portion, the upper arm forms a bridge-like structure straddling the cutout portion, the cutout portion, the cover A fishing spinning reel is provided that forms a space communicating with the outside between the upper arm of the body and the rear surface of the reel body .

According to the spinning reel for fishing of the present invention, the upper arm portion of the cover body forms a bridge-like structure straddling the notch portion formed in the rear portion of the reel body, and the notch portion forms the upper arm portion of the cover body and the reel body. By forming a space portion that communicates with the rear surface , the cover body is deformed in the space portion when an impact force is applied from the outside. This deformation prevents the reel body from being affected. As a result, when an impact force is applied from the outside, this impact force is absorbed, making it difficult for the impact force to be transmitted to the drive unit built in the reel unit, causing problems such as damage or malfunction in the reel unit. Can be prevented. Further, since the deformation of the cover body does not affect the reel body, it can be repaired simply by replacing the deformed cover body, which is simple and economical.
