Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a spinning reel, and more particularly, to a spinning reel in which a rotating frame is driven and rotated by operating a handle to wind a fishing line around a spool.

Generally, this type of reel is equipped with a drag mechanism that applies braking force to the rotation of the spool, but since the drag mechanism adjusts the braking force steplessly, It has been difficult to always set the rotation start load of the spool to an optimal value.

Therefore, conventionally, a reel body is provided with a drag mechanism that rotatably supports a spool shaft having a spool and applies a braking force to the rotation of the spool shaft, while adjusting the braking force of the drag mechanism. and an initial load setting knob for setting a rotation start load of the spool shaft, the knob is coupled to the adjustment body in a relatively non-rotatable manner, and the knob is opposed to the knob. A first regulating body is provided protruding from one side of the reel body, and a second regulating body is provided protruding from the other side of the reel body to engage with the first regulating body when the knob rotates once. Within the range of one rotation of this knob,
A spinning reel has been proposed in which the braking force of the drag mechanism can be adjusted from a minimum braking force to a maximum braking force.

However, according to this conventional reel, the adjustment range of the braking force by the drag mechanism is within one rotation of the knob, so the amount of change in the braking force with respect to the amount of rotational operation of the adjustment body is large, and the braking force is It was not possible to make fine adjustments. Therefore, the amount of rotational operation of the adjustment body becomes too large, and the rotational resistance of the spool shaft increases rapidly.The spool shaft cannot rotate freely under the tension exerted on the fishing line from the fish caught on the hook, and eventually the fishing line There was a high risk of it breaking.

The present invention was devised in consideration of the above points, and the purpose is to have a simple structure that allows the rotation start load of the spool shaft to be set, while minimizing the amount of change in braking force relative to the amount of rotational operation of the knob. The object of the present invention is to provide a spinning reel whose braking force can be finely adjusted.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and the amount of deflection of the coil spring 34 is changed by rotating the adjustment body 35, and the pressing force of the first and second friction plates 32, 33 is changed to obtain the lowest drag force. Adjust. In this state, the knob 36 is fitted into the support cylinder 11, and as shown in FIG. The first interference surface 41a is made to interfere with the interference body 42, and the second uneven line 36b of the knob 36 is connected to the first uneven line 35c of the adjustment body 35.
The knob 36 is connected to the adjustment body 35 by a set screw 37.

However, even if the knob 36 is rotated in the loosening direction (direction of arrow X in FIGS. 2 and 5) in the levered state, the second interference surface 40a of the second regulating body 40 touches the interference body 42 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5. Since the knob 36 interferes with the first interference surface 41a of the first regulating body 41 via the first regulating body 41, the knob 36 cannot be rotated any further in the loosening direction. Therefore, the rotation start load of the spool shaft 4 can be set at the position where the drag force is the lowest.

Further, when the knob 36 is rotated once in the tightening direction (arrow Y direction in FIGS. 2 and 5) from the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the interference body 42 rotates together with the knob 36, and As shown in FIG.
1, the interference body 42 interferes with the first interference surface 41b of
Co-rotation with the knob 36 is prevented, and the knob 36
The knob 36 is rotated one more turn, and the second regulating body 40 is rotated one more time as shown in FIG.
The interference surface 40b interferes with the interference body 42, preventing further rotation, more specifically, two or more rotations, and maximizing the braking force. Braking force can be adjusted. Therefore, the amount of change in the braking force with respect to the amount of rotational operation of the knob 36 is small, and the braking force can be finely adjusted.

In addition, in the embodiment described above, the reel body 1
A support tube 11 is provided in the support tube 11, and the support tube 11 and the knob 3 are connected to each other.
6, the interference body 42 is provided on the knob 36, but the interference body 42 may be provided on the support tube 11, or may be provided on the reel body 1 without forming the support tube 11. .

Furthermore, instead of providing one interference body 42, two or more may be provided. For example, when there are two interference bodies 42, the knob 36 can be rotated three times, and until it rotates once, the two interference bodies rotate together with the knob 36, and the first regulating body 41 first rotates the knob 36. The first interference body is prevented from rotating together with the knob 36, and in the second rotation, only the second interference body rotates together with the knob 36, and then the first regulating body 41 prevents the second interference body from rotating together with the knob 36. The synchronized rotation of the knobs 36 and 36 is prevented, and only the knob 36 rotates during the third rotation.

As described above, the present invention provides a spinning reel provided with an initial load setting knob for setting the rotation start load of the spool shaft, in which a first regulating body is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the support cylinder of the reel body, and the inner peripheral surface of the knob is provided with a first regulating body. A second regulating body is provided at a position that is displaced in the axial direction with respect to the first regulating body and does not interfere with the first regulating body, and on at least one of the outer circumferential surface of the support cylinder and the inner circumferential surface of the knob, Said first and second
having a length in the axial direction that interferes with the regulating body;
Interfering with the regulating body and rotating once together with the knob,
In addition, since an interference body is provided that interferes with the first regulating body to restrict the rotation of the knob by two or more rotations when the knob rotates once together with the knob, it is possible to set the rotation start load of the spool shaft. ,
Moreover, since the knob can be rotated one rotation or more, the amount of change in braking force with respect to the amount of rotational operation of the knob can be reduced, and the braking force can be finely adjusted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the braking force from suddenly increasing due to an excessive amount of rotational operation of the knob, and it is possible to eliminate thread breakage due to this braking force.

Furthermore, since it has a simple structure that only requires two regulating bodies and at least one interference body, it is possible to set the rotation start load of the spool shaft, and it is also possible to finely adjust the braking force by the drag mechanism. It can be formed relatively inexpensively.
