Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a downward-facing double-shaft reel with legs built up on the top of the reel body, and levers pivoted on the legs release the clutch and apply braking to the spool. The purpose is to release the clutch and perform the summing operation at the same time when casting, and to perform the summing operation in response to the pull of the fish when winding the fishing line. The purpose is to make it possible to apply a braking force to the spool from a slight braking force to a complete stop of rotation of the spool against the pulling of a fish by a drag mechanism and a summing operation.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on illustrated embodiments.

First, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the downward double-axis reel has a reel body 1 formed by framing left and right side frames 2, 2' with support rods 3 at predetermined intervals.
In this case, a spool 4 is rotatably installed between the both side frames 2 and 2' by a spool shaft 5,
The handle shaft 7 of the handle 6 supported on one side frame 2' and the spool shaft 5 are operatively connected and released by switching on and off a clutch (not shown) installed in the side frame 2'. In addition, a drag mechanism (not shown) is provided within the side frame 2'.

Further, on the upper part of the reel body 1, there is a leg 8 whose lower end is divided into left and right leg pieces 8a and 8b.
The leg pieces 8a and 8b are fixed to the inner surfaces of the side frames 2 and 2' with screws 9, etc., so that the reel stands upright. It is similar to conventional reels of this type that it is configured to be mounted vertically on the lower side.

Thus, the operating mechanism of the present invention is as shown in Figures 1 to 3.
As shown in the figure, both leg pieces 8a and 8b of the leg 8
A lever shaft 11 is installed between them, and a summing lever 12 and a casting lever 13 are attached to the lever shaft 11.
A brake shoe 14 is attached to the rear end portion 12a of the summing lever 12 extending rearward from the lever shaft 11, and a brake shoe 14 is attached to the rear end portion 12a of the summing lever 12 extending rearward from the lever shaft 11 of the casting lever 13. A clutch pin 15 is installed horizontally on the extended rear end 13a, and the clutch pin 15 is inserted into an elongated hole (not shown) penetrating through the side frame 2' to lock the clutch.
It is connected so that it can be switched ON and OFF.

Further, the levers 12 and 13 are provided with springs 1 which are attached to the pivot portions and are hooked at one end to the legs 8a and 8b and the other end to the levers 12 and 13, respectively.
6 and 17, the clutch pin 15 is elastically biased in the non-summing direction and the non-clutch releasing direction, that is, in the clockwise direction in FIGS. 14 are held in a non-contact state with the spool flange 4a.

Thus, the fingers of the hand holding the rod 10 extend forward of the levers 12, 13 at the front ends 12b, 13.
By hooking it on b and pulling it up, both levers 1
2 and 13 rotate counterclockwise in FIGS. 2 and 3 against the force of the springs 16 and 17, and the brake shoe 14 contacts the spool flange 4a to apply braking force to the spool 4, while the clutch pin 15 It is provided so that the clutch can be released (OFF) by pressing the operating member of the clutch.

Further, the protruding length of the front end portion 12b of the summing lever 12 is formed to be long, while the front end portion 13b of the casting lever 13 is formed to have a long protruding length.
The protruding length of the summing lever 12 is formed to be shorter than that of the front end 12b of the summing lever 12.
By overlapping the front end 13b of the casting lever 13 with the front end 13b of the casting lever 13 and pulling up the front end 13b of the casting lever 13, the summing lever 12 can be pulled up and rotated at the same time as the casting lever 13. The summing lever 12 is configured to be able to be pulled up independently by using the front end portion 12b formed as long as shown in FIG.

Here, the difference in length between the front end portions 12b and 13b of the summing lever 12 and the casting lever 13 is, of course, sufficient to allow the user to pull up and rotate the lever with one's fingers.

Furthermore, since both the levers 12 and 13 are mounted on both the left and right sides of the lever shaft 11 as shown in FIG.
The front end portions 12b and 13b are respectively bent inward to provide a stepped portion 13c at the upper part of the casting lever 13, and when the front end portion 12b of the summing lever 13 is fitted to this and overlapped, both levers 12 , 13, and when you need to apply the brake length, you can feel the front part with your finger and put your finger on it without checking the lever visually, and you can adjust the rotation length of the summing lever. You can release the clutch and apply the brake at the same time by placing your finger on the rear part of the casting lever, and by releasing your finger from the casting lever and turning the handle, the clutch will be engaged and the brake will be released at the same time, allowing you to reel in the fishing line. This allows you to quickly respond to changes in fishing conditions.

In the above configuration, when casting, when a finger is placed on the front end portion 13b of the casting lever 13 and the finger is pulled up and rotated, the summing lever 12 superimposed on the front end portion 13b is also pulled up and rotated at the same time. This causes the clutch pin 15 provided on the casting lever 13 to release the clutch.
At the same time, the brake shoe 14 of the summing lever 12 puts the spool flange 4a into a casting position, stops the rotation of the spool due to the centrifugal force caused by swinging the weight during casting, and releases the lever at a momentary timing to cast the spool flange 4a. Perform staying and fly the weight or device to the point.

That is, during casting, the clutch release operation and the summing operation are performed in conjunction with the summing lever that is linked to the lifting of the casting lever 13.

Next, when catching a fish, if the fish hooks and the fishing line is pulled out, use the summing lever 1.
When you pull up the front end 12b of 2 with your fingers and rotate it,
Since the casting lever 13 is held as shown in FIG. 5 without being pulled up, the clutch is held in the ON state, and the summing lever 12
As a result, only the brake shoe 14 presses down the spool flange 4a and applies braking to the spool 4.

Therefore, in this state, the braking force by the drag mechanism and the braking force by the summing lever 12 are applied to the spool 4.

As explained above, the clutch release and summing operation mechanism of the downward double-shaft reel according to the present invention is configured and operates, so that it can be operated by pulling up the casting lever 13 when necessary, such as during casting. The summing lever 12 follows this, and not only can the clutch release operation and summing operation be easily performed with a single lever, but also the summing lever 12 can be pulled up and rotated independently, so that the clutch is in the ON state. It is also possible to hold the spool and perform only the summing operation. Therefore, when taking in a fish, it is possible to not only apply a subtle braking force to the spool 4 by braking the pull of the fish by the drag mechanism and braking by summing. Even without tightening the summing lever, you can completely stop the rotation of the spool by pulling the length of the summing lever, and by gently lifting the rod tip, you can lift the fish from the water into the air and bring it in, leaving the clutch in the ON state. Because it is possible to become
Relax the force on the summing lever to reel in the fishing line, or apply force on the summing lever to brake the spool and forcibly pull the fish toward the fish.
When ON, braking force is applied when the spool is reversed, so even if you accidentally loosen the summing lever while lifting a fish into the air, the spool will immediately fall back into the water with the spool free to rotate, just like when the clutch is OFF. This has the effect of improving the fishing experience without causing you to miss the fish when you shoot it.
