Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a double-bearing reel, and more particularly to an improvement in a clutch mechanism installed in a baitcasting reel.

(Prior Art) Generally, when fishing with a baitcasting reel used for lure fishing, the clutch mechanism is first operated to turn off the clutch, and at the same time the spool is wound around the spool to stop it from rotating freely. The user presses the outermost surface of the spool or the side edge of the spool with his or her thumb, then swings the fishing rod and at the same time releases the thumb that had stopped the rotation of the spool to cast the fishing line.

Therefore, in order to be able to perform the above-mentioned series of operations smoothly, we developed a clutch mechanism.
Various structures and forms of the control lever used to turn the device OFF have been researched and developed. As an example, the Tokuko Sho 56
−5129 Publication, Utility Model Publication No. 12271, 1987, and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1987-
Publication No. 192031 etc. are mentioned.

However, with all of these conventional methods, it is difficult to operate the control lever with the thumb of the hand that grips the casting handle of the fishing rod, and at the same time, to smoothly move the finger that presses against the spool circumference to stop rotation. It has some defects.

Moreover, the movement of the operating lever, which is suspended horizontally between the left and right side frames, is guided by a pin fixed to the operating lever that is fitted into a guide slot drilled in the side frame. The movement of the lever that accompanies the pushing of the lever will give a sluggish feel if it gets stuck in the middle, and smooth movement cannot be expected.

In addition, all of the conventional mechanisms mentioned above have a clutch.
Returning OFF to clutch ON is performed by rotating the handle in the forward rotation direction, and after casting, the handle must be held with the other hand and rotated, making it difficult to swing the fishing rod quickly after casting. It is difficult to fish if you return the fish and hook it.

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, this invention
The objective is to be able to return the clutch from OFF to ON without turning the handle, and to smoothly perform a series of operations such as turning the clutch OFF and stopping the rotation of the spool at the same time as casting.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems is to attach the clutch mechanism to one end of the operating lever located behind the spool between the left and right side frames. A ring-shaped rotation ring is integrally attached and rotatably fitted into the mounting hole of the side frame, and a clutch sliding plate and a clutch switching plate of the clutch mechanism are also installed on the lower surface of the side frame housing the clutch mechanism. The configuration includes a switching knob that switches and controls the engagement and disengagement of the

(Function) The operating lever that operates the clutch from ON to OFF has a ring-shaped rotating ring integrally attached to one end and is fitted into a mounting hole drilled in the side frame. A rotating ring that rotates around the mounting hole ensures smooth movement, and
Switching knob (flipping clutch) ON/
By switching OFF, the movement of the clutch switching plate that makes up the clutch mechanism is restricted, and when the clutch switching plate engages with the clutch sliding plate, a normal clutch (clutch is turned ON by rotating the handle in the positive direction)
Therefore, when the clutch switching plate cannot engage with the clutch sliding plate, the clutch is turned off by pushing the operating lever, and the clutch is turned on when the operating lever is released.There are two types of so-called flipping clutches. Clutch can be used.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.The two bearing reels have left and right side frames A and B facing each other at a predetermined interval, and left and right side frames A and B.
A spool 1 rotatably supported on a horizontal shaft between them, a means for transmitting power to the spool 1 housed in one side frame A, a clutch mechanism for connecting and disconnecting the power transmitting means, and a handle for operating the power transmitting means. 2
It is made up of.

The power transmission means provided in the side frame A is composed of a main gear 3 that rotates integrally with the handle 2, and a pinion gear 4 that meshes with the main gear 3 and engages and disengages with the spool shaft 1a of the spool 1. The clutch mechanism that connects and disconnects the transmission means includes a sliding cam 5 that engages and holds the pinion gear 4, a clutch sliding plate 6 that slides the sliding cam 5 along the axial direction of the spool shaft 1a, and a clutch sliding plate. Clutch switching plates 7, 8 that prevent the clutch from returning, and the clutch switching plates 7, 8 are removed from the clutch sliding plate 6. The toothed rotary plate, such as the non-return gear 9, and the clutch sliding plate 6 are returned to their original states. It is composed of a clutch spring 10 and a switching knob 11 for switching the engagement and disengagement of the clutch switching plates 7 and 8 with respect to the clutch sliding plate 6.

The clutch mechanism will be explained in more detail below. The sliding cam 5, which integrally engages and supports the pinion gear 4, is fitted on both left and right sides to support rods 13 raised on a base plate 12 so as to be movable up and down. A coil spring 15 is elastically mounted between the upper surface of the sliding cam 5 and the disk plate 14, and the sliding cam 5 is always urged downward, that is, pushed in the direction in which the pinion gear 4 engages with the spool shaft 1a. It is energized.

The clutch sliding plate 6 is a flat metal plate formed into a substantially Y-shape and has a base 6a and a bifurcated piece 6b.
A guide groove 16 is drilled in a and is fitted into a guide rod 17 that is fixed upright on the base plate 12, and a bent protrusion 18 is integrally provided on the bifurcated piece 6b. One end is engaged with a guide means provided on a base plate 12 to restrict the sliding direction of the clutch sliding plate 6, and a clutch spring 10 whose one end is fixed to the base plate 12 is also engaged. Therefore,
The clutch sliding plate 6 is actuated by the resilient force of the clutch spring 10 in a direction in which the raised portion 18 of the bifurcated piece 6b is moved away from the sliding cam 5, and the clutch spring 10
Clutch sliding plate 6 slides against the elastic force of is released and clutch
OFF, and spool 1 can rotate freely.

Further, a hooking piece 19 is formed upright on one shoulder of the bifurcated piece 6b of the clutch sliding plate 6.
Clutch switching plates 7 and 8, which are engaged and disengaged from each other, are swingably supported on a shaft 20 on a base plate 12.

The clutch switching plates 7 and 8 are formed into a substantially L-shape, and one side has locking pawls 7a and 8a that engage and disengage with the engagement piece 19 of the clutch sliding plate 6, and the other side has a non-return catch that rotates integrally with the handle shaft. Engagement claws 7b and 8b that engage with the teeth of the gear 9 are formed, respectively, and the engagement claws 7b and 8b are different in length and length from each other to the non-return gear 9.
At least one of them is always engaged.

In addition, the clutch switching plate 7 is pivoted in a stacked state.
A tension spring 21 is tensioned across the shoulder of the switch plate 8 and the upright piece on the board 12, and a tension spring 22 is tensioned across the switching plate 8 and the upright piece on the board 12, thereby allowing both upper and lower switching. The plates 7 and 8 are constantly biased in the direction in which they engage with the engaging piece 19 of the clutch sliding plate 6 and the non-return gear 9.

Operation lever 2 to turn off the clutch mechanism above
3 is formed into a substantially rectangular plane shape, and a ring-shaped rotating ring 24 having a slightly larger diameter than the outer diameter of the side edge of the spool 1 is integrally formed at one end in the longitudinal direction, and a rotating ring 24 is integrally formed at the other end. The pin 25 is integrally fixed and protruded, and the pin 25 is inserted into the circular arc-shaped guide hole 27 opened in both the base plate 12 of the side frame A and the side plate 26a, and the rotation ring 24 is inserted into the guide hole 27 of the side frame B. It fits into a mounting hole 28 formed in the side plate 26b and is supported so as to be slidable up and down. Further, at the outer end of the pin 25 fixed to the operating lever 23, there is an operating plate 2 for sliding the clutch sliding plate 6.
9 is pivotably supported at one end, and its operating plate 29
The other end forms a notch 30 and fits into a support rod 31 which is fixedly fixed on the base plate 12, and the side surface of the actuating plate 29 is brought into abutting engagement with a receiving piece 32 formed in a curved manner on the clutch sliding plate 6. The clutch sliding plate 6 is slid by the rotation of the actuating plate 29 as the operating lever 23 is pushed.

There is also a switching knob for forcibly disengaging the clutch switching plates 7, 8 that engage and disengage from the engaging piece 19 of the clutch sliding plate 6 so that they do not engage with the engaging piece 19, or switching them to a state that allows them to engage. 11 is formed into an inverted T-shape, and its vertical rod portion 11a is connected to the plate plate 1 in the side frame A.
The vertical rod portion 11 is fitted downwardly into a long hole 33 drilled in the lower surface of the rod portion 4 to be slidable back and forth.
A moderation leaf spring 34 is attached to the plate 14 so that it can freely ride over a protrusion 35 formed protruding from the inner surface of the disc plate 14, and the vertical rod portion 11a is a protrusion 36 protruding from the peripheral surface of the shaft support of the clutch switching plates 7, 8. It can be freely connected and disconnected. That is, by sliding the switching knob 11,
1a is brought into abutting engagement with the protruding piece 36, the rotation of the clutch switching plates 7, 8 is restricted, and the locking claws 7a, 8
a becomes unable to engage with the engaging piece 19, and the clutch is turned OFF by pushing the operating lever 23. By releasing the pushing of the operating lever 23, the clutch is turned OFF.
When the switching knob 11 is slid and the vertical rod portion 11a is separated from the protrusion 36 of the clutch switching plates 7 and 8, the clutch switching plates 7 and 8 are not regulated in any way. The locking claws 7a, 8a of the clutch switching plates 7, 8 engage with the engaging pieces 19 to close the clutch.
While the OFF state is maintained, the clutch switching plates 7 and 8 are swung by the rotation of the non-return gear 9 due to rotation of the handle, and the clutch switching plates 7 and 8 are disengaged from the clutch sliding plate 6, and the clutch is turned ON.

The above is a case where the operation lever 23 and the rotation ring 24 are integrally constructed, but the rotation ring 24 has a separate structure from the operation lever 23 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and is integrated with the operation lever 23 by screwing. Of course, it is also good to have a structure that is

Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, a female screw member 37 is embedded and integrated into one side of the operating lever 23, a rotation ring 38 is joined to the open end side of the female screw member 37, and a set screw 39 is attached. Female screw member 37
This rotating ring 38
is fitted on the outside of a spool cover 40 which is integrally connected to a dish plate 43 of the side frame B by screws, so that the operating lever 23 can be pushed smoothly.

In the figure, 41 is a magnetic braking mechanism that brakes the rotation of the spool 1, and 42 is a fishing line parallel winding mechanism.

(Effects of the invention) As described in detail above, the double-bearing reel of the invention has an operating lever for turning the clutch OFF that is movable up and down and horizontally mounted at the rear of the spool between the left and right side frames, and the operating lever A ring-shaped rotating ring is connected to one end of the lever and is fitted into the mounting hole, so the operating lever rotates around the rotating ring, allowing smooth movement and easy operation. This can solve problems that occur when the lever gets stuck in the middle of its movement.

In addition, since the clutch switching plate can be engaged and disengaged from the clutch sliding plate by pressing the operating lever, it can be switched freely by operating the switching knob provided on the underside of the side frame, so in addition to the normal clutch type, A so-called flipping type clutch can be formed in which the clutch is turned OFF only when the operating lever is pushed, and the clutch is instantly returned to ON when the operating lever is released, allowing the clutch to be used properly depending on the fishing situation.

Furthermore, since the switching knob is provided on the bottom of the side frame, there is no risk of injury if the fishing line gets tangled, and there is no risk of injury from accidentally touching the clutch type while fishing. is safe.
