Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a drag mechanism for a fishing reel that is attached to a left and right winding handle and a single winding handle of a fishing reel.

(Prior art) The handle drag mechanism of a fishing reel adjusts the tension of the fishing line according to the strength of the pull of the fish on the fishing line. This is a mechanism to prevent this from happening. In conventional drag mechanisms, brake pads sandwiching both sides of a drive gear are pressed by a drag handle, and a drag force is generated by the frictional force generated between the drive gear and the brake pads.

FIG. 6 shows a conventional handle drag mechanism for a fishing reel for both left and right use. In FIG. 6, the drag handle 70 presses the disc spring 71 and further presses the cylinder body 7.
2 to press the drive gear 32 and brake pad 73. The rotational force of the handle arm 10 is transmitted to the drive gear 32 by the friction force of the disc spring 71 and the friction between the brake pad 73 and the drive gear 32. The drive gear 32 meshes with a gear that rotationally drives the spool to rotate the spool. The drag force described above is thus transmitted to the spool via the drive gear 32, and by appropriately setting the drag force, it is possible to let out the fishing line in accordance with the pull of the fish. For example, if the drag force is set low, the spool will become slippery, making it easier for the fishing line to be reeled out even when the pull is weak.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The conventional handle drag mechanism is installed in the reel body between the drag handle and the drive gear as described above, so it has the disadvantage that there are many parts in the rule body. The drawback is that it does not have a drag lock mechanism that locks the handle and the drive gear and transmits the rotational force of the handle directly to the spool without going through the drag mechanism.

When catching fish with a fishing reel, it is convenient to lock the handle and spool to prevent the spool from slipping. The handle drag lock mechanism described above is used in such cases.

The present invention was made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a drag mechanism for a fishing reel that has a simple drag mechanism and a lock mechanism that locks the handle and spool. be.

A handle shaft is provided on the inner surface of the handle arm, with which the end surface of the disk portion abuts, and a handle arm support sleeve through which the handle shaft is rotatably inserted is provided fixed to the handle arm at its base side,
A drag adjustment handle is screwed onto the handle arm support sleeve, and a drag friction plate is provided between the drag adjustment handle and a disk portion of the handle shaft and abuts against a side surface of the disk portion; A drag press plate having one side in contact with the friction plate and a pin inserted into the base of the handle arm support sleeve on the other side, and press the pin of the drag press plate to adjust the drag between the side surface of the disk portion and the drag press plate. An elastic spring member is provided between the sides of the handle to elastically press the drag friction plate and the drag pusher plate, and a drag lock key is provided on the handle arm so as to be slidably engageable with the engaging portion, and the drag lock The present invention is characterized in that an operating member is provided for operating the engagement between the key and the engaging portion.

(Operation) When a drag force is applied, the engagement between the drag clock key and the engagement portion of the disc portion is released to bring it into an unlocked state. By rotating the drag adjustment handle screwed into the handle arm support sleeve and moving it forward and backward on the handle arm support sleeve, the pressing force against the drag friction plate in contact with the side surface of the disk portion via the drag push plate is adjusted.

When the handle arm is rotated, the drag pusher plate rotates together with the handle arm support sleeve, and drag force acts on the handle shaft due to the friction between the drag pusher plate, drag friction plate, and the side surface of the disc. A drag force acts on the drive gear as

By engaging the drag lock key with the engaging portion of the disk portion, the handle arm and the handle shaft are engaged and locked, and the rotational force of the handle arm is directly applied to the handle shaft.
