Description

  The present invention relates to a spool for winding a long body such as a fishing line, and more specifically, it is easy to operate a thread stopper and the like and can securely hold the end of the long body, and can be easily applied to a general-purpose spool. It relates to a spool with excellent durability.

In general, a spool for winding a fishing line or the like includes a cylindrical body portion and a pair of flange portions extending radially outward from both ends thereof, and a winding portion is formed between the flange portions outside the body portion. A fishing line is wound around this winding part. The end of the wound thread is sandwiched between, for example, a groove-shaped thread stopper formed on the outer peripheral edge of the flange, but the thread stopper and the end of the thread locked thereto are other There is a problem that the yarn easily comes into contact with an object, and the yarn easily comes off from the yarn stopper due to the contact.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, for example, a device provided with a thread fixing mechanism in the body portion has been proposed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1, hereinafter referred to as a conventional technique).

  This prior art spool has an internal cylinder space in which one end is opened to the external space in the above-mentioned cylindrical part, and the clamping piece is projected and retracted from the inside of the internal space to the outside. Is held in the inner space. The clamping piece is advanced to the outside of the in-cylinder space to clamp the end of the yarn, and then the clamping piece is retracted into the in-cylinder space. As a result, the thread can be easily clamped, but the possibility that the end of the thread and the like will come into contact with other objects can be reduced, and the thread can be securely clamped.

JP 2003-333969 A

  A spool usually has a support wall extending radially inward on one end side of the barrel so that a long body can be wound around a winding part in a production factory or the like, and a winding shaft is attached to the support wall. A fitting hole is formed in a penetrating manner, and the fitting hole is fitted around a take-up shaft so as to rotatably support the spool. In the above prior art, the thread fixing member provided with the above-mentioned clamping piece is mounted using this fitting hole.

  However, in this prior art, it is necessary to switch and support the thread fixing member provided with the clamping piece between the posture that advances outward from the body space and the posture that retracts into the space inside the body. A locking claw for maintaining the posture must be formed in the winding shaft fitting hole. For this reason, the above-described conventional technology cannot be applied to existing spools or general-purpose spools, and a dedicated spool body must be used. In addition, since the position of the clamping piece is switched, the thread fixing member slides in the winding shaft fitting hole. However, if a foreign object is caught in the sliding surface, the movement becomes difficult. There is also a problem that posture switching is not easy.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and provides a spool that can be easily applied to a general-purpose spool and can be easily applied to a general-purpose spool while being easily operated such as threading, and can be securely held. There is to do.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is described as follows, for example, based on FIGS. 1 to 6 showing an embodiment of the present invention.
That is, the present invention relates to a spool, in which a spool body (2) has a cylindrical body portion (7) and a pair of flange portions (8, 9) extending radially outward from both ends of the body portion (7). ), And a spool (10) is formed between the flanges (8, 9) around the body (7), and the spool body (2) is In addition, a support wall (11) extending radially inward is provided on one end side of the body (7), and the other end side is opened to the external space in the body (7). And a support column (15) extending in a direction perpendicular to the support wall (11) to the support space (12) .The support column (15) is a support wall (15). At the end opposite to 11), there is provided a swinging portion (4) disposed in a direction perpendicular to the central axis (16) of the support column (15) in the in-body space (12). The swinging part (4) has a holding part (20) for holding the long body (26) along the peripheral part. By applying a pressing force (F) toward the support wall (11) to a part of the peripheral edge, the peripheral edge on the opposite side across the column (15) is in the body space (12) It is possible to switch between a swinging posture (S) that advances outward and a return posture (R) in which the peripheral portion returns to the interior space (12) by removing the pressing force (F). To do.

  When a pressing force toward the support wall is applied to a part of the peripheral portion of the swinging portion, the swinging portion is switched to the swinging posture, and the peripheral portion on the opposite side across the column portion is the in-body space. Advance outside. Since the pinching portion is provided at the peripheral portion of the swinging portion, the end portion of the long body wound around the winding portion is easily guided and pinched by the pinching portion. When the pressing force is removed, the swinging portion is switched to the return posture, and the end of the elongated body held by the holding portion is accommodated in the in-body space and comes into contact with another object. The fear is reduced.

  The spool usually has a support wall extending radially inward on one end side of the body portion, and the space inside the body portion is open to the external space on the other end side. A winding shaft fitting hole is formed through the wall. The spool body of the present invention is only required to have a support column on the support wall, and a dedicated spool body in which the support column is integrally formed on the support wall can be used. An existing spool or a general-purpose spool can be used, for example, by locking a fixing member having the above-mentioned support column in a through hole that is a shaft fitting hole.

  The column part is not limited to a specific shape or structure, and may be formed integrally with the support wall as described above. For example, when the cylindrical winding shaft fitting portion is formed long on the support wall so as to cross the inside of the body portion, the winding shaft fitting portion can also be used as a column portion. However, in general, the above-described winding fitting portion is often provided to protrude from the above-mentioned support wall to the in-body space. On the other hand, it is preferable that the swinging portion disposed on the front end side of the support column is disposed close to the other end side of the in-body space because switching to the swinging posture is easy. For this reason, when the support wall has a through-hole that communicates the in-body space and the external space, a fixing member is attached to the through-hole, and the fixing member is attached to the fixing member via the support column. Providing a swinging portion is preferable because a general-purpose spool or the like can be easily used.

  When the fixing member is locked in the through hole, the support column may be formed integrally with the swinging unit, and in this case, the support wall side end of the support column is the above-described end. It is fixed to the fixing member. However, it is preferable that a supporting column is formed on the fixing member and the swinging unit is provided at the tip of the supporting column, because the swinging unit can be easily switched to the swinging posture. In particular, at least the tip of the above-mentioned column part is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the above-mentioned swinging part is provided with a support shaft protruding from one side of the central part, and this support shaft is fitted to the above-mentioned support column part. Therefore, it is preferable that the swinging portion can be more easily switched to the swinging posture by the elastic deformation of the support shaft.

  The sandwiching portion only needs to be provided at the peripheral portion of the swinging portion, and is not limited to a specific shape or structure. For example, it is also possible to form one or a plurality of groove-shaped sandwiching portions on the periphery of the swinging portion, and sandwich and sandwich the vicinity of the end of the elongated body in the groove-shaped sandwiching portion. However, the oscillating portion includes a sandwiching body disposed in a direction orthogonal to the center axis of the support column, and a guide portion disposed along the sandwiching body, and between the sandwiching body and the guide portion. When the above-mentioned clamping part is formed, the clamping part can be formed along the peripheral part over the entire peripheral part of the swinging part, and the end of the elongated body can be formed at any position along the peripheral part. This is preferable because the vicinity of the portion can be clamped.

  The above-mentioned long body is not limited to a specific use, but especially when this long body is a fishing line, the advantage of being able to hold the end of the thread with ease is possible. preferable.

Since the present invention is configured and operates as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

It is possible to easily hold the long body, and by simply removing the pressing force, the swinging portion is switched to the return posture, and the long body held by the holding portion is placed in the in-body space. Can be accommodated. Therefore, operations such as threading are extremely easy. In addition, since there is no possibility that the holding part and the end of the long body housed in the above-mentioned body space come into contact with other objects, the end of the long body can be reliably held by the holding part. In addition, since the above-described operation such as thread fastening is performed on one side of the spool, for example, there is an advantage that it can be easily operated by simply opening the cover on one side of the case with respect to the spool accommodated in the spool case. .

  (2) The spool is usually provided with the above-described support wall and a cylinder space, and a winding shaft fitting hole is formed through the support wall. The spool main body of the present invention is, for example, by locking a fixing member in the through-hole that is the winding shaft fitting hole and fixing the swinging portion to the fixing member via a support column. It can be easily applied to other spools and general-purpose spools, and can be implemented at low cost.

  (3) The swinging portion is moved to the swinging posture by elastically deforming the swinging portion and the support column portion by the pressing force, and when the pressing force is removed, the swinging portion, etc. The return posture is switched by the elastic restoring force. Therefore, since these posture switching is performed by elastic deformation of each member and its elastic restoring force, the sliding movement of each member can be reduced, and the possibility of malfunction due to foreign matter can be reduced. The posture can be switched and the durability is excellent.

Adjacent spools (1) are connected to each other.

  Since the spool connector (21) includes the pinching portion (20) in the swinging portion (4), the thread (26) pinched by the pinching portion (20) is adjacent to the spool ( 1) It will be arranged between. Therefore, since the end portion of the pinching portion (20) and the yarn (26) pinched by the pinion portion (20) is covered with the adjacent spool (1) connected to the pinning portion (20), it is prevented from coming into contact with other objects. ) Is reliably prevented from coming off from the clamping part (20).

  The spool described in the above embodiment is exemplified to embody the technical idea of the present invention, and the dimensions, shape, structure, arrangement, etc. of each part are not limited to those of this embodiment. Various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the above-described support column is formed integrally with the fixing member. However, in the present invention, these may be formed separately and fixed to each other by engagement or the like, and the support column portion may be formed integrally with the swinging portion. Furthermore, it is also possible to form the above-mentioned column part integrally with the support wall of the spool body.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the above-described swinging part is configured by the sandwiching main body and the guide part, and the sandwiching part is provided between them. However, in the present invention, this swinging part may be formed integrally, and the above-mentioned sandwiching part has an arbitrary structure such as a groove formed on the periphery of the swinging part and capable of sandwiching a long body. It is possible to adopt.

  Moreover, in said embodiment, it comprised so that the attitude | position of said rocking | swiveling part could be switched by elastic deformations, such as said support | pillar part and said support shaft fitted in this. However, in the present invention, for example, the above-described support shaft may be configured with a material that can be easily elastically deformed, so that the posture of the oscillating portion can be switched. Furthermore, in the present invention, the posture of the swinging portion (4) can be switched using the elastic member (27) as in the modification shown in FIG. 6, for example.

  That is, in this modified example, the swinging portion (4) is swingably supported by the support column (15), and the swinging portion (4) and the support wall (11) are arranged around the support column (15). In between, an elastic member (27) made of a coil spring is mounted. Similarly to the above embodiment, when a pressing force toward the support wall (11) is applied to a part of the peripheral portion of the swinging portion (4), the swinging portion (4) is swung in the phantom line. When the mode is switched to (S) and the pressing force is removed, the return posture (R) indicated by the solid line is switched by the restoring force of the elastic member (27). Other configurations are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, and operate in the same manner. As the elastic member (27), a member having rubber elasticity such as a rubber cylinder may be used.

  In the above-described embodiments and modifications, the case where the fixing member and the swinging portion also serve as a spool connector has been described. However, in the present invention, even when these members do not serve as a spool connector. Good. Needless to say, the long body wound around the winding portion may be a long body other than a fishing line.

  The spool of the present invention is particularly useful as a spool for fishing lines because it can easily hold the end of a long body, and can be easily applied to general-purpose spools and has excellent durability. However, it is also useful as a spool for winding other long bodies.
