Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable starting of stable thumbing in a very short timelag after an move-down operation of a control unit for setting a spoor to a free-rotation state by arranging a finger-receiving member and the control unit at prescribed relative positions of the rear part of the reel body. CONSTITUTION:At the rear part of the reel body, a finger-receiving member 3 is fixedly equipped and a control unit 6 for setting a spoor 2 to a free-rotation state by a move-down operation thereof is simultaneously arranged. The operation system is formed so that a state of the control unit 6 set to the lower end position of operation may correspond to the free-rotation state of the spoor 2 and that the upper surface 6s of the control unit 6 may be located to a position lower than that of the upper surface 3s of the finger-receiving member 3 or to a position of equal level thereto. Thereby, as soon as the operation for setting the spoor 2 to the free-rotation state is completed by the move-down operation of the control unit 6 using the thumb of the right hand, thumbing can be carried out by placing the thumb on the finger-receiving member 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a double bearing reel, and more particularly to an operating tool for setting a spool in a freely rotating state.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as described above, as a double bearing reel having an operating tool for setting the spool to a free rotation state, there are U, S, Pat
ent4.575,024, or U,S.

There are patents such as those shown in Patent No. 4,819.893, and among these references, the former has only the operating tool located at the rear of the spool in use, and the latter When in use, an operating tool is installed on a horizontal frame that is placed behind the spool, and in each of the cited examples, the spool is set to a freely rotating state by operating the operating tool downward. The operating system is configured to do so.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Here, considering the operation when discharging thread from a double-bearing reel in which the operating tool is placed at the rear of the spool as in the above cited example, when dispensing thread, it is operated with the thumb of the right hand. After pushing the tool downwards, swing the fishing rod to let out the line from the spool, and lightly touch the thumb of your right hand to the outer circumference of the spool or the system wound around the spool.
By performing so-called summing, the spool is prevented from continuing to rotate due to inertia, and the yarn is prevented from being excessively fed out.

In each of the above cited examples, when performing this thumbing, the thumb of the right hand is placed on the top surface of the operating tool to stabilize the position of the fingers.

In addition, some conventional double-bearing reels have a finger rest called a thumb rest located at the rear of the spool.Reels with a dedicated thumb rest like this do not allow the spool to rotate freely. An operating tool for setting is provided on the side plate of the reel.

Furthermore, when thumbing is performed, the finger is placed on the upper surface of the operating tool as described above, and since the operating tool is a movable member, it is assumed that the operating tool has a structure that causes trouble and the freedom of the spool. Even if it maintains an operating state that allows rotation, the link mechanism linked to the operating tool, or
There is room for improvement as the position of the operating tool is unstable due to the flexibility of the shaft support, gaps, etc., and it is difficult to perform delicate scooping.

In addition, as mentioned above, with a reel in which the thumb rest is placed behind the spool and the operating tool is placed on the side of the reel body, depending on when discharging the line, it is necessary to use a dedicated thumb rest. Although sometimes subtle finger movements are possible, the time lag between the completion of operation of the operating tool and the start of summing becomes longer than the above-mentioned example, making it cumbersome to handle.

The purpose of the present invention is to rationally develop a double-bearing reel that can start summing with as little time lag as possible from the operation to set the spool to a free-rotating state, and that can stably perform delicate fingertip movements during a big blowfish. The point lies in the composition.

[Means to solve the problem]

A feature of the present invention is that a finger rest fixed to the reel body and an operating tool for setting the spool to a freely rotating state by downward operation are arranged at the rear of the reel body in the use state. When this operating tool is set at the lower operating end, the spool is set in a free rotation state, and the operating system is configured such that the top surface of the operating tool is below the position of the top surface of the member. Its functions and effects are as follows.

[For production]

When the above characteristics are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, for example, the operating tool (6) is operated to a position where its upper surface (6S) is lower than the upper surface (3S) of the member (3). By doing so, the spool (2) reaches a free rotation state, so if this operation is performed with the thumb of the right hand, the spool (2) will be able to rotate freely without being hindered by this operating tool (6) as soon as the operation is completed.
- Thumb can be placed on the finger rest member (3) for thumbing.

In other words, in the configuration of the present invention, the finger rest includes the member (3) and the operating tool (
The operating tool (6) can be placed in close proximity to the operating tool (6), and the operating direction is determined so that the spool (2) can be set in a free rotation state by downward operation. When pressed with a finger, the finger rest will naturally come into contact with the upper surface (3s) of the member (3), and when the spool (2) is set to freely rotate, Since the finger rest on the upper surface (6s) of the operating tool (6) is located below or at the same level as the upper surface (3s) of the member (3), it will be obstructed by the operating tool (6) when blowfishing. The finger rest fixed on the reel body is a member (
3) It becomes possible to stabilize the finger by placing it on the base. [Effect of selling out] Therefore, it is possible to start summing with an extremely small time lag from the operation to set the spool to a free rotation state, and when performing summing, it is possible to perform both delicate finger movements stably. The bearing reel has been rationally constructed.
