Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a level wind 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 member 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 during long-term use, or seawater or other foreign matter may adhere to the friction part. If the frictional force is insufficient, the engagement action will be hindered, resulting in defects such as malfunction.

The present invention improves these deficiencies and makes it possible to automatically, smoothly and reliably separate and engage the fishing line guide arm and the slider in conjunction with clutch operation, and also to perform the separation and engagement when the fishing line is being wound up as necessary. The spool shaft is rotatably supported between the reel side plates and has a pinion fitted to one end of the spool shaft, a clutch mechanism for engaging and separating the pinion from the spool shaft, and a handle. A drive gear provided on the shaft and meshing with the pinion, a guide cylinder installed between the reel side plates at the front of the spool and having a traverse cam shaft inside, and sliding on the guide cylinder by engaging with the traverse cam shaft. Further, it is composed of a slider that rotates integrally with the guide tube, a fishing line guide arm that can freely engage with the slider, and a gear that is fixed to one end of the traverse cam shaft and meshes with the drive gear. In a double-bearing reel for fishing, the guide tube is rotatably supported between the reel side plates, and an operating cam and a spring for regulating the slider in the engaged position are provided at both ends of the guide tube, respectively. The clutch plate of the clutch mechanism is provided with an actuating arm that rotates the actuating cam so as to be freely engageable, and furthermore, an actuating protrusion is provided at the end of the guide tube, and an operating lever attached to the reel side plate is pressed by the actuating protrusion. The gist is that the fishing line guide arm can be freely engaged and separated from the slider even when winding up the fishing line.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A spool shaft 2 to which a spool 1 is fixed is rotatably supported between a pair of reel side plates 3 and 4. As shown in FIG.
is energized so as to be coupled to the spool shaft 2.

A clutch plate 1 has actuating protrusions 10, 10 on the inside of the actuating plate 8, and is energized by a dead point spring 11 into an inner position and an outer position.

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. At the top of the slider 21, an engagement recess 24 having notches 23, 23 at the inner end on the spool side is provided, and both outer peripheral surfaces of the engagement recess 24 are formed into smooth guiding surfaces 25. ing.

Further, 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 26, 27.
are constructed, and the guide rods 26 and 27 are provided with a pair of left and right guide arms 29, which have fishing line guide recesses 28 facing each other.
29 is fitted, and a spring 30 is interposed between the fishing line guide arms 29, 29 in the guide rod 26 portion, and an engaging pin 32 is extended and contracted at the lower part of each fishing line guide arm 29, 29 via a spring 31. The engagement pins 32, 32 are freely protruded from the engagement recess 2.
4, the fishing line guide arms 29, 29 are joined and the fishing line guide recesses 28, 28 are connected to the fishing line guide hole 3.
3.

On the other hand, an actuating arm 34 that can freely engage the actuating 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 cylinder 14 as shown in FIG. The locking action of the pins 32, 32 is released, and the fishing line guide arms 29, 29 are resiliently biased to both sides by a spring 30, and are expanded to the reel side plates 3, 4.

Further, a handle 35 is slidably attached to the front side of the reel side plate 4, and an operating lever 36 provided on the handle 35 is in contact with the operating protrusion 18 of the rotating plate 19. When the operating lever 36 slides forward, the operating lever 36 rotates the guide tube 14 via the operating protrusion 18 and the rotating plate 19, and the fishing line guide arms 29, 29
It is formed so that it can be separated from the slider 21.

In the figure, 37 is the operating lever of the clutch plate 12, 38 is the reversal prevention ratchet wheel provided on the handle shaft 5, 39 is the reversal prevention pawl, and 40 is the reversal prevention ratchet wheel 38.
41 is an operating piece of the lock pin 40, 42 is a regulating protrusion of the operating piece, 43 is an engagement protrusion of the operating piece 41 provided on the clutch plate 12, and 44 is a guide rod 26.
The cover 45 is a leaf spring for regulating the position of the operating lever 36.

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 37 of the clutch plate 12 is pressed downward, the clutch plate 12 is pushed into the inner position and the operating protrusion 10 , 10 presses the actuating plate 8 outward to separate the pinion 7 from the spool shaft 2, thereby making the spool 1 freely rotatable.At the same time, the actuating arm 34 of the clutch plate 12 rotates the actuating cam 17 to move the guide cylinder 14. The fishing line guide arms 29, 2 which were engaged with the engagement recess 24 by rotating the slider 21 through the
The engaging pins 32, 32 of 9 are disengaged from the engaging recess 24 through the notches 23, 23 by the spring 30, and the fishing line guide arms 29, 29 are expanded toward the reel sides 3, 4, so that the fishing line is It is extended without contacting the guide arms 29, 29.

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 40, the actuating piece 41, and the engagement protrusion 43, 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 34 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 to reciprocate from side to side. By moving to one fishing line guide arm 29 side, the engaging pin 32 is contracted by the guiding surface 25 of the engaging recess 24 and engaged in the engaging recess 24, and then by moving to the other side, the other fishing line is similarly The engaging pin 32 of the guide arm 29 is also engaged in the engaging recess 24 to join the fishing line guide arms 29, 29, and the fishing line is accommodated and guided in the fishing line guide hole 33 to wind the fishing line around the spool 1.

Also, when fishing while adjusting the drag to the minimum, or when fishing on a boat, leave the clutch plate 12 in the fishing line winding state and remove the handle 35.
When operated, the operating lever 36 presses and rotates the operating protrusion 18 to rotate the slider 21 via the rotating plate 19 and the guide tube 14, separating the fishing line guide arms 29, 29 from the slider 21. When the handle 35 is returned to the old position, the slider 21 is held in the regulating position by the spring 20, so when the handle shaft 5 is rotated, the fishing line guide arms 29, 29 are moved back to the slider 21 as before. is engaged with.

In this invention, when the clutch mechanism that connects and disconnects the spool shaft and pinion is operated by a clutch plate to put the spool in a free rotation state, the slider is rotated by an operating arm that is linked to the operation of the clutch plate. Since the fishing line guiding arm is separated from the fishing line, when the fishing line is let out, the fishing line guiding arm and the slider are automatically separated by clutch operation, and the resistance of the fishing line is minimized as much as possible, allowing the fishing line to be smoothly and easily fed out to a long distance. In addition, the guide tube is always energized to the slider engagement position by the spring, and when the fishing line is let out, it is held in the rotating position by the operating arm of the clutch plate, so that the return movement of the clutch plate is prevented. At the same time, the slider is immediately returned to the engagement position to smoothly and reliably engage the fishing line guide arm, and both the coupling and separation operations of the fishing line guide arm and the slider can be performed automatically. There is no possibility that the fishing line guide arm will come into a state of letting out the fishing line due to contact with the slider by mistake while winding up the fishing line.

In addition, the present invention provides an operating protrusion at the end of the guide tube that rotates the slider, and rotates the operating protrusion with an operating lever attached to the reel side plate to guide the fishing line while the clutch mechanism is in the engaged state. The arm can be separated from the slider, making it easier to adjust the drag delicately during fishing operations where you interact with the fish while adjusting the drag to the minimum, or when letting out the fishing line while preventing it from collapsing when fishing on a boat. To reduce the resistance of a fishing line to a level wind device in fishing when adjusting or making full use of it, and to have excellent features and practicality that allow fishing operations to be carried out while making optimal and delicate drag adjustment.
