Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention is a downward-facing double-axis reel with legs straddled on the upper side of the spool.By pulling up and rotating a lever pivotally attached to the legs, the clutch is released and the spool is simultaneously released. This invention relates to an operating mechanism that applies braking force to the vehicle.

The above-mentioned mechanism is conventionally known, and its construction is such that the other end of the summing lever, which is pivotally mounted on the leg, is provided with first and second operating members, that is, a member that releases the clutch and a member that applies braking to the spool. It was something like that.

However, with the mechanism configured as described above, the above-mentioned member protrudes to the rear of the reel body for a long time, which not only spoils the design of the reel, but also causes the member to easily interfere with other objects, resulting in damage to the reel body. During staying, if the winding of the fishing line becomes loose due to the inertia of the fishing line causing the reversal speed of the spool to be faster than the fishing line release speed, the fishing line may become tangled and cause problems such as line breakage. This often happened.

Therefore, as a result of studies in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, the present invention is constructed by providing only a clutch pin at the rear end of the operating lever that is pivotally mounted on the leg, and providing a cam that presses and slides the brake shoe at the pivot point of the operating lever. By doing so, it is possible to easily and reliably release the clutch and perform thumbing operations during casting, and because the number of parts protruding from the rear of the reel body can be reduced, the design looks good, and the fishing line can be tightened easily. A clutch release and summing operation mechanism is provided for the purpose of avoiding troubles such as entanglement.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on illustrated embodiments. First, to explain the downward double-axis reel, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the reel main body 1 includes left and right side plates 2a, 2b, and a plurality of support rods that support the both side plates 2a, 2b at predetermined intervals. 3..., and the spool 5 is supported by a spool shaft 4 whose end is supported on shaft bearings provided on the side plates 2a, 2b or the side frames 2, 2' fixed thereto. A leg 6 is rotatably disposed between the side frames 2 and 2', and at the upper part of the spool 5 is a leg 6 whose lower end is divided into left and right leg pieces 6a and 6b.
is erected by fixing its leg pieces 6a, 6b to the side plates 2a, 2b with screws 7, etc., and suspending it from the bottom of the rod 8 with a rod holder 6c installed horizontally at the upper end of the legs 6. It is configured to be

In addition, this reel has a handle (not shown) rotatably supported on one side frame 2', and
It is the same as conventional reels of this type in that a clutch and a drag mechanism are built in, and the handle shaft and spool shaft 4 are operatively released or connected by switching the clutch ON and OFF. It is.

Thus, the operating mechanism of the present invention is as shown in Figures 1 to 3.
As shown in the figure, a lever shaft 9 is installed on both leg pieces 6a and 6b at the lower part of the leg 6, an operating lever 10 is mounted on the lever shaft 9, and the rear end is mounted on the lever shaft 9. A clutch pin 11 is provided at the rear end so as to be able to be pulled up and rotated with the finger a of the hand holding the rod 8, such as the index finger or middle finger, and a clutch pin 11 is provided at the rear end to protrude laterally and is inserted through the side plate 2b of the side frame 2'. long hole 1
2 and is associated with a clutch, not shown, disposed within the side frame 2'.

Further, a cam 1 is attached to the pivot portion 13 of the operating lever 10.
4 is provided so as to be rotatable integrally with the operating lever 10, and between the lower part of the cam 14 and the spool edge 5a, and inside the leg piece 6b of the leg 6, a brake shoe 15 is provided so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. , and is provided with a pushing force applied by a spring 16, and is normally pushed up by the spring force and brought into contact with the cam 14, but is maintained in a non-contact state with the spool edge 5a.

The operating lever 10 is mounted on the lever shaft 9, and is rotated downward, that is, counterclockwise in FIG. Normally, the cam 14 holds the brake shoe 15 in a state in which it does not press down. Therefore, when the operating lever 10 is not operated, the convex surface 14a of the cam 14 is not pushed down. The cam 14 is provided with its orientation set in advance so that when the operating lever 10 is turned sideways as shown in FIG. .

Here, the cam 14 may be formed integrally with the operating lever 10, or may be a separate member integrated with the operating lever 10 by appropriate means; in either case, the cam 14 may be formed integrally with the operating lever 10. The configuration is arbitrary as long as it can rotate integrally with 10.

According to the illustrated example, the brake shoe 15 is formed in a vertically long rectangular shape, and has a vertically long window hole 15a formed in the center thereof, and a guide piece 18 protruding from the inner surface of the leg piece 2b and the vertically long window hole. 15a, the brake shoe 15 is arranged to be slidable in the vertical direction, and the upper edge 15b of the vertically elongated window hole 15a
The spring 16 is interposed between the spring 16 and the guide piece 18, and the presser plate 19 is fixed to the leg piece 6b with a pin 20 or the like to prevent it from coming off. Groove 2 opened in
1 so that it can come into contact with the spool edge 5a.

In the above configuration, when casting the clutch and thumbing the spool 4 by releasing the clutch, hook the finger a of the hand holding the rod 8 onto the front end of the operating lever 10, and press it. When pulled up, the operating lever 10, which is held in the state shown in FIG.
1 as a fulcrum, the clutch pin 11 provided at the rear end descends along the elongated hole 12, thereby releasing the clutch (not shown) and at the same time releasing the cam 1.
4 rotates integrally with the operating lever 10, and its convex surface 14a pushes down the brake shoe 15 against the upward force of the spring 16, so that the brake shoe 15 comes into contact with the spool edge 5a and applies a braking force to the spool 5. give.

In other words, clutch release and spool summing are performed simultaneously.

When starting to wind the fishing line, the pulling force on the operating lever 10 is released, and the operating lever 10 is rotated downward by the lever spring 17 and returns to the position shown in FIG. 1, and at this time the cam 14 also rotates. Since the convex surface 14a faces sideways, the brake shoe 15
The depression of the spool is released, and the spool is pushed up by the spring 16 to return to the upward position, leaving the spool edge 5a, and the spool is no longer braked.

Since the clutch release and summing operation mechanism according to the present invention is constructed and operated as described above, only the rear end of the operation lever 10 projects rearward from the reel body 1; Since the number is smaller than that of the conventional mechanism, the overall design of the reel is not impaired, and the brake shoe 15 that thumbs up the spool and the cam 14 that pushes it down are located on the leg 6 and mounted on the pivot portion 13 of the operating lever 10. Since these do not interfere with other objects, they will not be damaged or malfunction due to interference with other objects, and the rotation of the cam 14 will smoothly push down the brake shoe 15. By being able to do this reliably, there are effects such as being able to delicately perform clutch release, especially summing operations.
