Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a level winding device for a fishing reel.

The fishing line guide member of the level wind device of a conventional fishing reel does not move its position when the fishing line is let out, so the resistance to releasing the fishing line increases as it passes through the fishing line guide hole, inhibiting the fishing line unwinding action and making it difficult to cast the hook far. There is a flaw that cannot be done.

In order to improve this defect, the fishing line guide member is formed to be separable into a guide member and a sliding mechanism, and when the fishing line is let out, the guide member is separated from the sliding mechanism and can be moved left and right as the fishing line is let out. It is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 40-21220 that the fishing line release resistance can be reduced, but in this method, the separating operation of the fishing line guide requires rotating the sliding member of the sliding mechanism directly by hand. Therefore, not only is the operation of letting out the fishing line complicated and troublesome, but also the sliding member of the guiding member when winding up the fishing line is not able to guide the fishing line because the sliding member is rotated by mistake during the operation of winding up the fishing line. Since engagement is also achieved by friction between the traverse cam shaft and the sliding member, the friction part may wear out or seawater or other foreign matter may adhere to the friction part during long-term use. If the frictional force is insufficient, the engagement action will be hindered, resulting in defects such as malfunction.

The present invention improves these defects and automatically, smoothly and reliably separates and engages the fishing line guide and the sliding member. A spool shaft in which a pinion is fitted so as to be freely engaged with the spool shaft, a clutch mechanism that engages and separates the pinion from the spool shaft, a drive gear provided on the handle shaft that meshes with the pinion, and a reel side plate at the front of the spool. A guide tube with a traverse cam shaft installed therein, a slider that engages with the traverse cam shaft and slides left and right on the guide tube, and a fishing line guide arm that can freely engage with the slider. , a double-bearing type fishing reel comprising a gear fixed to one end of the traverse cam shaft and meshing with the drive gear; the guide tube is rotatably supported between reel side plates; Either the arm or the slider is provided with a protrusion, and the other is provided with an engagement recess in which the protrusion engages, and a guide surface that guides the protrusion, and the operating cam and the slider are engaged with the end of the guide tube.

A guide groove 13 is provided on the lower side of the front part of the reel side plates 3 and 4.
A guide cylinder 14 having a traverse cam shaft 15 is rotatably supported on the structure, and a traverse cam shaft 15 is installed inside the guide cylinder 14.
A small gear 16 that meshes with the drive gear 6 is fixed to the end of the traverse cam shaft 15 on the side of the reel side plate 3, and an operating cam 17 is fixed to the guide cylinder 14 inside the small gear 16. , a rotating plate 18 is fixed to the other end, and a spring 20 is stretched between the rotating plate 18 and a frame board 19 fixed to the inside of the reel side plate 4 to regulate and hold the guide tube 14 in a fixed position. ing.

A slider 21 is slidably fitted onto the outer peripheral surface of the guide tube 14, and an engaging pawl 22 provided inside the slider 21 is engaged with a threaded groove of the traverse cam shaft 15 via the guide groove 13. In addition, an engaging recess 24 is integrally provided on the front side of the slider 21 and has smooth guiding surfaces 23 on both outer sides.

Also, between the reel side plates 3 and 4 at the slightly upper front and rear portions of the guide tube 14, there are a pair of front and rear guide rods 25, 26.
A fishing line guide arm 28 having a fishing line guide hole 27 is fitted into the guide rods 25 and 26, and a protrusion 29 is provided at the lower part of the fishing line guide arm 28 to protrude downward. 24.

On the other hand, an operating arm 30 that can be freely engaged with the operating cam 17 is integrally protruded from one end of the clutch plate 12, and presses the clutch plate 12 inward to separate the pinion 7 from the spool shaft 2. At this time, the operating cam 17 is pressed and rotated to rotate the slider 21 through the guide tube 14 as shown in FIG. It is configured to be able to freely slide left and right on the guide rods 25 and 26. Note that 31 in the figure is a hard ceramic fitted into the fishing line guide hole 27, and 32
3 is the cover of the guide rod 26, 33 is the reel mounting leg, 3
4 is a handle, 35 is an operating lever for the clutch plate 12, 36 is a reversal prevention ratchet provided on the handle shaft 5, 37 is a reversal prevention pawl, and 38 is a reversal prevention ratchet 3.
6 is a return lock pin for the clutch plate 12, 39 is an actuating piece of the lock pin 38, 40 is a regulating protrusion of the actuating piece, and 41 is a clutch plate 12
This is the engagement protrusion of the actuating piece 39 provided in the.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, when the fishing line is let out during a fishing operation, when the operating lever 35 of the clutch plate 12 is pressed downward, the clutch plate 12 is pushed into the inner position and the operating protrusion Reference numerals 10 and 10 press the actuating plate 8 outward to separate the pinion 7 from the spool shaft 2 and make the spool 1 freely rotatable.At the same time, the actuating arm 34 of the clutch plate 12 rotates the actuating cam 17 to open the guide cylinder. 14, the slider 21 is rotated, and the protrusion 29 of the fishing line guide arm 28, which had been engaged with the engagement recess 24, is disengaged and becomes free. On the other hand, the speed of the fishing line that is instantly and vigorously let out by the throwing operation is very high, and the tension is caused by the displacement of the unwinding position of the fishing line wound in the axial direction, which causes the fishing line guide arm 28 to move between the guide rods 25 and 26. The fishing line is fed out after the fishing line is slid through the fishing line.

Also, when the handle shaft 5 is rotated in the fishing line winding direction from this state, the clutch plate 12 returns to the outward position via the lock pin 38, the actuating piece 39, and the engagement protrusion 41, and the pinion 7 is coupled to the spool shaft 2. At the same time, the operating cam 17 performs the fishing line winding action.
When the actuating arm 30 retreats, the spring 20 of the rotary plate 18 returns the guide tube 14 and slider 21 to their previous positions, while the traverse cam shaft 15 is rotated and slides back and forth from side to side. 23 is the fishing line guide arm 2
When the slider 21 collides with the protrusion 29 of 8, the slider 21
The protrusion 29 is engaged with the engagement recess 24 while rotating against the force, thereby connecting the fishing line guide arm 28 and the slider 21 to wind the fishing line around the spool 1.

In the above embodiments, a protrusion was provided on the fishing line guide arm, and an engaging recess was provided on the slider.
As illustrated in the figure, a protrusion 29 may be formed on the slider 21 and an engaging recess 24 may be formed on the fishing line guide arm 28.

Note that the clutch operating lever 35 in the present invention may be formed integrally with the clutch plate 12,
Furthermore, the clutch mechanism is not limited to the embodiments described above.

In the case where the clutch mechanism for connecting and disconnecting the spool shaft and pinion is actuated by the clutch plate to bring the spool into a free rotation state, the present invention provides a mechanism for moving the slider of the guide tube with the actuating arm continuously with the actuation of the clutch plate. Since the fishing line guiding arm is separated by rotating the fishing line guide arm, the tension of the fishing line that is instantly and vigorously let out when the fishing rod is operated is automatically transferred from the slider by the axial displacement of the fishing line paying out position on the spool. By sliding the fishing line guide arm separated from the left and right to the left and right, the release resistance when letting out the fishing line is minimized and the fishing line can be let out smoothly and easily over a long distance, and the guide tube is always kept in the engaged position of the slider by the spring. The tension is regulated, and when the fishing line is let out, it is held in the rotating position by the operating arm of the clutch plate, so the slider is immediately returned to the engagement position at the same time as the clutch plate returns, and the fishing line guide arm is engaged. This can be done smoothly and reliably, and both the connection and separation operations of the fishing line guide arm and the slider can be performed automatically, and the fishing line guide member can be prevented from accidentally touching the slider while winding up the fishing line, causing the fishing line guide member to be in a state where the fishing line is unreeled. It will never become.

Furthermore, when the fishing line guide arm is connected to the slider, the slider and the guide tube are rotated in reverse against the spring that restricts the guide tube, and the protrusion is engaged with the engagement recess through the guide surface. As a result, there is no need to use a spring in the protrusion, and the fishing line guide arm and the slider can be engaged smoothly and reliably with just the spring regulating the guide tube, simplifying the structure of the engaging part. It has excellent features that allow it to be made stronger and more durable.
