Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a level wind device for a double bearing type reel.

As a level wind device for evenly winding fishing line onto a spool, a slider that supports a reciprocating screw shaft that interlocks with a handle shaft between reel side plates and has a fishing line guide in a guide tube fitted on the outside of the reciprocating screw shaft. It is a common practice to fit the fishing line into the spool and engage it with the reciprocating screw shaft so that the fishing line is evenly wound around the spool by the left and right reciprocating movement of the slider.

However, with this method, sand, seawater, and other foreign matter can get caught in the reciprocating screw shaft or the fitting part of the slider, which can interfere with the smooth reciprocating movement of the slider, resulting in malfunction or its structure. This method has the disadvantage that it is complicated and increases the weight of the reel, and the resistance of the fishing line when it is released is large, making it unsuitable for long-distance casting of the fishing line.

In addition, in order to improve this kind of defect, a twist guide rod that rotates in conjunction with the handle shaft is provided between the reel side plates, and the fishing line is directly guided from side to side by the twist guide rod, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 31-5284. Japanese Patent Publication No. 1983-99887
This method is known from the above publication, but when winding up the fishing line, unless the fishing line contacts the twist guide rod with a predetermined tension, the fishing line cannot be guided reliably, and the fishing line cannot be evenly wound around the spool, and when the fishing line is released, There is a defect that the fishing line contacts and reduces the flying distance.

The present invention takes advantage of the features of the latter method while improving its deficiencies.A torsion guide rod supported at the front between the reel side plates is linked with the handle shaft to guide the fishing line from side to side while spooling it. In the double-bearing type fishing reel, the torsion guide rod is formed to be movable downward, and the torsion guide rod is held at an upper position when the clutch mechanism is engaged and at a lower position when the clutch mechanism is disengaged. The gist is that the clutch mechanism is interlocked with the actuating plate of the clutch mechanism so as to do the following.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A spool shaft 2 to which a spool 1 is fixed is supported between opposing reel side plates 3 and 4.
A known spool shaft drive mechanism and clutch mechanism are housed inside.

To explain one example, a drive gear 6 provided on the handle shaft 5 meshes with a pinion 7 that is slidably fitted on the spool shaft 2, and the pinion 7 is capable of engaging and disengaging from the engaging portion 8 of the spool shaft 2. A coupling recess 9 is formed in the holder, and an engagement plate 10 is engaged with the engagement plate 10. The engagement plate 10 has springs 11, 11 provided at both ends of the engagement plate 10 so that the coupling recess 9 of the pinion 7 engages with the engagement portion 8. is affiliated with.

Further, the guide pin 13 protruding from the inner frame 12 of the reel side plate 3 has an operating plate 14 with an elongated hole 15.
actuating projections 16, 16 formed in the forked portion of the clutch plate 14 and slidably fitted through the clutch plate 14;
are formed on the inner surface of the engagement plate 10 so as to be able to move in and out, and when the actuation plate 14 is slid inward through the elongated hole 15, the actuation protrusions 16, 16 move into the engagement plate 1.
0 is pushed outward against the springs 11, 11, and the pinion 7 is separated from the spool shaft 2.

Also, approximately W-shaped dead point springs 17 are provided on both shoulders of the actuation plate 14 and the guide pin 13, and divide and bias the actuation plate 14 into the inner sliding position and the outer sliding position, respectively, and further bias the actuation plate 14 into the inner sliding position and the outer sliding position. One of the two forked parts 14' is provided with an elongated hole 19 that fits into a pin 18 protruding from the inner frame 12, and protrusions 20 and 21 on the base and outer sides of the elongated hole 19, respectively.

An actuating piece 22 is fitted into the pin 18 through a long hole 23 so as to overlap with the actuating plate 14. One end of the actuating piece 22 is pulled by a spring 24, and a locking part 25 is attached to the pulling part. is formed.

In addition, there are multiple lock pins 2 at the tip of the handle shaft 5.
A reversal prevention ratchet wheel 27 with a protruding pin 27 is fixed thereto, and when the handle shaft 5 is rotated in the inner sliding position of the actuating plate 14, that is, in the free rotation state of the spool shaft 2, the lock pin 26 causes the actuating piece 22 to rotate. The actuating piece 22 is pressed and moved by engaging with the locking part 25, and its tip presses the protrusion 20 of the actuating plate 14, pushing the actuating plate 14 outward until it exceeds the dead point of the dead point spring, thereby removing the actuating plate. 14
The clutch is configured to return to the outer sliding position, which is the clutch engaged state.

An engagement pin 29 is provided protruding from the tip of a connecting arm 28 fixed to one shoulder of the actuating plate 14.
The engagement pin 29 passes through an arc-shaped elongated hole 30 of the inner frame 12 and projects to the rear side of the spool 1, and is activated by pressing downward an operating member 31 provided on the rear side of the reel side plates 3 and 4. The plate 14 is pushed against the dead point spring 17 to the inner sliding position, the pinion 7 is disengaged from the engagement portion 8, and the spool shaft 2 is made rotatable.

On the other hand, a fixed shaft 32 that supports the handle shaft 5 is provided with a rotating plate 33 that rotates around the fixed shaft 32.
A torsion guide rod 34 supported at the tip of the rotating plate 33
is formed to be vertically movable through arc-shaped holes 35 bored in the front parts of the reel side plates 3 and 4, and a guide gear 36 is fixed to the end on the reel side plate 3 side. There is a spring 3 on the end of the 4th side.
7 is provided and energized downward.

Further, the gear 38 fixed to the handle shaft 32 is the gear 40, 4 of the intermediate shaft 39 implanted in the rotating plate 33.
1 to the guided gear 36, and is configured so that the rotation of the handle shaft 5 causes the torsion guide rod 34 to rotate simultaneously with the spool 1.

A locking piece 42 that engages with the side edge of the rotating plate 33 is bent at the tip of the forked portion 14'' of the actuating plate 14, and when the actuating plate 14 is in the outer sliding position, that is, in the clutch engaged state. The rotating plate 33 is locked and rotated to hold the twist guide rod 34 at the upper position.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, when winding up the fishing line, the locking piece 42 of the operating plate 14 locks the rotating plate 33 and twists the guide rod 3.
4 is held at the upper position guiding the fishing line to the spool 1, the fishing line is wound around the spool 1 while being guided from side to side by the twisting guide rod 34, and the operating plate 14 is pushed to the inner sliding position to let out the fishing line. , the locking action of the locking piece 42 on the rotating plate 33 is released, the twist guide rod 34 moves to the lower position by the force of the spring 37, and the fishing line is let out without being hindered by the twist guide rod 34.

Furthermore, when the handle shaft 5 is rotated in this state, the lock pin 26 returns the actuating plate 14 to the outer sliding position via the actuating piece 22, so that the locking piece 42
The rotating plate 33 is locked and rotated to return the twist guide rod 34 to the upper position again, and the fishing line is in a state of being wound.

In this invention, the torsion guide rod that guides the fishing line is linked with a clutch mechanism to smoothly and reliably guide the fishing line to the spool at the upper position when winding up the fishing line, and to move it to the lower position when letting out the fishing line. As a result, the fishing line can be smoothly let out and released over a long distance without being hindered by the twist guide rod, and the operation is linked to the clutch operation, so it can be done automatically. It has excellent features and practicality, such as being extremely simple in structure and not causing malfunction due to jamming.
