Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a fishing line spinning reel provided with a function of untwisting the fishing line.

(Background of the technology) When releasing fishing line from a spinning reel, the bail is inverted and left free, and the fishing line on the spool is thrown out in a coiled state, but when the fishing line is reeled in, the bail is returned Since the coiled fishing line is wound on the spool while being twisted in the opposite direction, there is no plus or minus, so to speak, and in principle no twist is accumulated on the fishing line. However, this only applies when there is no fish hooked, and once the fish has caught the line and the line is pulled strongly, the bail remains in its restored state to protect the line. Since a drag is provided on the spool shaft to allow the fishing line to exit through the line roller, the fishing line exits while rotating the spool, ie, without twisting the line. If you continue to release the fishing line in such a drag state or several times,
If you let out a long distance, the untwisted fishing line will be twisted while winding it, and the twist will accumulate, and in severe cases, the twist will become so strong that the fishing line becomes tangled and unusable when casting the fishing line.

The present invention is intended to solve these problems and provides a spinning reel that can untwist a fishing line.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The spinning reel according to the present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.

The rotor 1 is rotated while the direction of rotation of the handle 10 remains constant.
A clutch lever 14, a switching gear, etc. are built in as means for switching the rotation direction of the rotor 12, and line rollers 16a and 16b are provided at both ends of the bail of the rotor 12, and the spool 18 can be pulled out and turned upside down. A spinning reel that can be replaced with a fishing line and that can untwist the fishing line.

(Function) After the fishing line has accumulated twist due to interaction with the fish by using the drag, the spool 18
The spool 18 is turned upside down, and then inserted into the spool shaft 20 again.
When the rotation direction of the rotor 12 is reversed while the zero rotation direction remains constant, the line roller 1 at one end of the bail 22
The fishing line that was wound on the spool 18 in the direction of rotation of the hour hand by the line roller 16b at the other end of the bail 22 is wound in the counter-rotation direction of the hour hand by the line roller 16b at the other end of the bail 22, thereby twisting the twisted fishing line on the spool 18. Since it twists in the opposite direction, the twist disappears. Furthermore, when the fishing line becomes twisted in the opposite direction, the twisting of the fishing line can always be minimized by returning it to its original state.

(Example) Preferred examples embodying the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 1, the spool shaft 20 standing in the center is a normal spool shaft 20 that reciprocates in the vertical direction, and the upper part of the spool shaft 20 has a hexagonal prism-shaped sleeve whose lower part has an enlarged diameter to form a flange shape. 2
4 is fixed. The spool 18, which has an inner-shaped hole 26 in the center that slides on the outer shape of the sleeve 24, has a locking hole 30 in the middle of the hole 26, into which the lower end of the chevron-shaped spring 28 is hooked.
The lower part of the chevron-shaped spring 28 is inserted through the slit 27 provided in the sleeve 24, and the lower tip is fitted into the locking hole 30 described above. In this levered state, the spool 18 is fixed onto the spool shaft 20 via the sleeve 24. 32 is a cap that fits into the hole 26, and the lower surface of the cap is fitted with the chevron-shaped spring 2.
8 is in contact with the top surface. When the cap 32 is pushed in, the chevron-shaped spring 28 is pressed inward, and its lower end disengages from the locking hole 30, thereby allowing the sleeve 18 to be removed upward from the spool shaft 20. Rotor 1 rotating around the spool 18
2, a line roller 16b is attached to each bail arm 36 on two arms 34, and a bail 22 is provided by connecting both line rollers 16a, 16b.

Figures 2, 3, and 4 show an example of a mechanism capable of reversing the rotation direction of the rotor 12 while keeping the rotation direction of the handle 10 constant. main gear 3
8. Reference numeral 14 denotes a clutch lever, and a bifurcated arm 40 at the tip thereof is inserted into a groove 46 provided around the outer periphery of the right end of a first gear 44 fixed on the handle shaft 42 so as to be slidable left and right.
This first gear 44 is normally fitted into and meshed with internal teeth in the main gear 38 shown by dotted lines, and
The main gear 38 rotates the rotor 12 in the direction of rotation of the hour hand.
The first gear 44 can be pulled out to the right by the clutch lever 14. In this state, the first gear 44 meshes with the second gear 48 as a switching gear, and the second gear 44
8 meshes with the third gear 50, and the third gear 50 meshes with the third gear 50.
As shown in the figure, it is constantly engaged with external teeth 52 on the outer periphery of the main gear 38. In FIG. 2, the main gear 38, outer periphery, and third gear are shown to make the drawing easier to understand.
Although it is drawn apart from the gear 50, a timing belt or the like may be used between this time and the rugged feeling that occurs when the gear is used can be eliminated. The clutch lever 14 may use any mechanism as long as it can pull out, fix, and return the first gear 44; The shaft 54 is inserted into the through hole 56, and the shaft 54 is always urged to the right by the spring 58. Through hole 56 at the bottom of clutch lever 14 is inserted between ring 64 and two springs.
It holds the surroundings in place. The cap 60 is fixed to the spinning reel main body 70 via a cover 68, and by rotating the cap 60, the shaft 5
The clutch lever 14 on the shaft 54 can swing the first gear 44 to the left and fix it. This allows the rotor 12 to rotate in the counterclockwise rotation direction, and as described above, the cap 3
2 is pushed in, the spool 18 is removed from the spool shaft 20, and the spool 18 is turned upside down and re-fixed on the spool shaft 20, thereby creating a spinning reel that twists the fishing line in the opposite direction.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention is the first to realize a mechanism that can eliminate unpleasant twists in the fishing line, and it is possible to protect the fishing tackle without having to buy a new fishing line or unravel the fishing line. It is highly effective, extends the life of expensive fishing lines, and compensates for the characteristic of fishing line that the twisted part becomes extremely weak and easy to break. This is a significant advantage.

Although the present invention has been variously explained above with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and it goes without saying that many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is.
