[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly, to a fishing reel comprising a reel body rotatably supporting a spool around which a fishing line is wound.

(Prior Art) Generally, a double-bearing reel uses a reel body equipped with a pair of side frames, and each side frame of the reel body is provided with an inner chamber having an annular portion facing the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool. A pair of bearings is installed inside the inner chambers of these side frames, the spool is rotatably supported between these bearings, and both side surfaces of the spool are made to face the annular portions of the respective inner chambers, The fishing line wound around the spool is prevented from entering the inner chamber through a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the flange and the annular portion.

However, in the case of a reel in which the reel body is provided with the above-mentioned inner chamber, when the fishing line cast into water such as the sea or river is wound onto the above-mentioned spool, or after winding, water adhering to the surface of the fishing line may be Leaving the fishing line, water flows along the outer peripheral surface of the flange and infiltrates into the inner chamber through the gap, and this infiltrated water travels along the side surface of the flange to a bearing that supports the center of the spool, or around the center of rotation of the spool. If the internal parts around the center of rotation of the spool, such as the lining plate of the drag mechanism arranged in As a result, there was a problem that it became impossible to smoothly pull out the fishing line and wind the fishing line using the handle.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and the purpose is to utilize the side surface of the flange portion of the spool, provide an annular groove near the outer periphery of the side surface of the flange portion, and The water that enters the inner chamber from the surface along the side surface of the flange can be guided to the bottom of the reel body bypassing the spool center side, and the water that has entered can be prevented from splashing on the bearing etc. on the spool center side. Water can be guided to the bottom of the reel body along the annular groove, and a drainage channel is provided in the reel body so that water that has entered the inner chamber can be naturally discharged to the outside.

(Structure of the invention) Accordingly, the present invention provides a reel body that rotatably supports a spool with an inner chamber having an annular portion facing the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool,
A fishing reel is provided in which a side surface of the spool faces an annular portion of the inner chamber, and on a side surface of the flange of the spool, near the outer periphery thereof, there is a contact between the outer periphery of the flange and the annular portion. The reel body has a groove width that receives water that penetrates into the inner chamber from the gap between the flange outer peripheral surface and the side surface, and a peripheral surface that guides the received water to the bottom of the reel body. At least one annular groove is provided, and a drainage channel is provided at the bottom of the reel body for discharging the water in the inner chamber to the outside, so that the water that has entered the inner chamber through the gap is directed to interior parts around the spool rotation center. We have made it possible to prevent this from happening.

The water on the inner bottom surfaces of the inner chambers 12, 22 flows out from the drainage channels 10, 10. Therefore, even if water infiltrates into the inner chambers 12, 22 through the gaps K, K, this intruding water will flow along the side surfaces 4a, 4b of the spool 4 and damage the bearings that support the center of the spool or the spool. It is possible to avoid contact with the lining plate of the drag mechanism arranged around the center of rotation, prevent the bearing from rusting, reduce instability of the braking force due to wet lining plate, and prevent the fishing line from being pulled out or by the handle. This allows for smooth fishing line winding operations.

In addition to the double-bearing reel shown in Fig. 1 in which the spool shaft is movable in the axial direction, the reel of the present invention can also be used with a general double-bearing reel in which the spool shaft is supported only freely in rotation, or with a cantilevered spool. A fishing reel that is supported in a similar manner can be constructed in the same manner.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention provides a method for transmitting power from the gap between the flange outer circumferential surface and the annular portion to the flange outer circumferential surface and the side surface near the outer circumferential portion of the flange portion of the spool. providing at least one annular groove having a groove width to catch water that enters the inner side of the reel body, and a peripheral surface to guide the received water to the bottom of the reel body;
Since a drainage channel is provided at the bottom of the reel body for discharging the water inside the inner chamber to the outside, water that flows along the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool, enters the inner chamber through the gap, and flows along the side surface of the flange. Water can be caught in the annular groove, bypassing the center of the spool, and guided to the bottom of the reel body along the circumferential surface of the annular groove, and the intruding water thus guided can be directed to the bottom of the reel body. It can be discharged outside through the drainage channel. Therefore, even if water intrudes into the inner chamber through the gap, the intruding water is guided by the annular groove and directed to the bottom, so that the intruding water supports the center of the spool. It is possible to avoid contact with the bearing or the lining plate of the drag mechanism arranged around the rotation center of the spool, prevent the bearing from rusting, and reduce instability of the braking force due to wetting of the lining plate. This allows for smooth pulling out of the fishing line and winding up of the fishing line using the handle.

Moreover, it has a very simple structure that only requires an annular groove on the side of the spool and a drainage channel on the reel body, so it is possible to avoid the intruding water from splashing on the bearings on the center side of the spool, and it is inexpensive. It can be formed.
