Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a fishing reel with a waterproof drag mechanism provided on one side of the spool.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, a drag disk is provided on the spool shaft on one side of the spool, and the spool or drag disk is rotatably attached to the outside of the reel side plate.The drag operation lever can be rotated to move the spool or drag disk to freely apply braking to the rotation of the spool. A double-bearing type reel drag mechanism that is hung on a reel is well known.

Moisture attached to the fishing line when winding the fishing line onto the spool flows around the flange of the spool to the drag washer of the drag mechanism and the drag metal that is pressed against the drag washer. If it gets stuck or gets stuck when cleaning the reel with water, it has the disadvantage of reducing drag performance.

A proposal to solve the above drawback was published in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-146226.
This method has been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-64281.

[Problems that the idea should solve]

In the above example, an annular cover is provided on the spool holding cylinder to prevent rainwater from entering the space between the drag disk and the flange of the spool, but the annular cover has a large opening in the center. Therefore, the drag mechanism has the disadvantage that it is not waterproof.

In addition, in the above example, a seal cover consisting of a cover part with an opening in the center on one side of the spool and a mounting cylinder part is screwed on, but water easily enters the seal cover from the opening and the seal cover prevents the spool from being closed. This has the disadvantage that the inertial force increases, making it more likely that crashes will occur.

In view of the above drawbacks, the present invention is designed to make the drag mechanism watertight and waterproof, thereby preventing deterioration in drag performance.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a reel body that supports a spool for rotation, and a drag mechanism is provided on one side of the spool.
In a fishing reel in which the spool braking force can be freely adjusted by rotating a drag operating lever rotatably attached to the outside of the reel side plate, an elastic member is attached to one side of the spool and either the drag metal or the drag disk of the drag mechanism facing that side, making the drag mechanism waterproof during drag operation.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the illustrated embodiment. In FIG. 1, a fishing reel has a spool shaft 4 supported on reel side plates 1 and 2 via radial bearings 3 and 3, and Pin 5 on side 1
A detent member 6 fixedly engaged with an engagement hole 8 of the spool 7 connects the spool 7 to the spool shaft 4 in a non-rotatable manner.

A pinion 11 that meshes with the drive gear 10 of the handle shaft 9 is rotatably fitted to the spool shaft 4 on the side of the reel side plate 2, and its tip protrudes outward from the reel side plate 2, and a cam means is attached to the outer periphery of the pinion 11. A drag operating lever 12 and a drag adjusting knob 13 are rotatably provided via the drag operating lever 12 and the drag adjusting knob 13.

A recess 7a is provided on the reel side plate 2 side of the spool 7.
is formed and a drag washer 14 is formed on the side of the recess.
is a retaining plate 15 fixed to the side surface of the spool 7.
A drag disk 17 having a drag metal 16 fixed to the pinion 11 facing the drag washer 14 is fitted inside the pinion 11 so as to rotate integrally therewith.

Further, an annular elastic member 18 is fitted and fixed in the recess 7a, and the drag metal 16 is exposed at the outer end surface.

Further, springs 19 and 20 are fitted into the spool shaft 4 within the engagement holes 8 and 7b on both sides of the spool 7.

The spring 19 is stronger than the spring 20 and functions to maintain the drag adjustment range, and the spring 20 functions to separate the drag metal 16 from the drag washer 14 when the drag operating lever 12 is returned.

Next, to explain the operation, when the fishing line wound around the spool 7 is let out, the drag operation lever 12
1, the drag metal 16 is separated from the drag washer 14 and set in a position where no drag braking force is applied to the rotation of the spool 7.

At this time, the elastic member 18 fitted and fixed to one side of the spool 7 is separated from the drag metal 16.

Next, when a drag braking force is applied to the rotation of the spool 7 to wind the fishing line around the spool 7, the drag operation lever 12 is rotated and the spool 7 is moved to the right as shown by the two-dot chain line in Figure 1. 2, the drag metal 16 is pressed against the drag washer 14, and the drag metal 16 is pressed against the elastic member 1.
8.

At this time, when the fishing line is wound around the spool 7, the moisture attached to the fishing line is attached to the spool 7 and goes around to the drag mechanism side. is in pressure contact with the elastic member 17, the inside of the drag mechanism is made watertight, and moisture does not adhere to the inside of the drag metal 16 and the drag washer 14.

Therefore, deterioration of the function of the drag mechanism due to moisture can be prevented with a simple configuration.

Further, since the flange of the spool 7 is slightly extended and the elastic member 18 is provided, the inertial force of the spool 7 is not increased.

When washing the reel with water, press drag operation lever 1.
2 to press the drag metal 16 against the elastic member 18 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, the drag mechanism becomes watertight, thereby preventing cleaning water from entering the drag mechanism.

FIG. 3 and the following are modified examples of the annular elastic member 18.

FIG. 3 shows the recess 7a of the spool 7 of the elastic member 18.
The area that is fitted and fixed therein is reduced to make it easier for the drag metal 16 to press and deform the elastic member 18.

FIG. 4 shows the recess 7a of the spool 7 of the elastic member 18.
By reducing the area of the elastic member 18 that is fitted and fixed therein, the elastic member 18 is easily pressed and deformed by the drag metal 16, and the elastic member 18 also slides against the drag metal 16 when the fishing line wound around the spool 7 is let out. This is a modified example in which the two parts are brought into contact with each other and the sliding resistance is reduced.

5 to 8 show modified examples in which an elastic member 18 is attached to the drag metal 16. FIG.

In FIG. 5, an elastic member 18 is fixed to the drag metal 16 and is configured to be pressed against the holding plate 15 on the spool 7 side.

In FIG. 6, a concave portion is formed in the drag metal 16 and an elastic member 18 is attached thereto.

FIG. 7 shows that the annular elastic member 18 is connected to the drag metal 1.
It is attached so as to cover the outer circumference of 6.

In FIG. 8, a plurality of through holes are bored at appropriate locations on the outer periphery of the drag metal 16, and pins provided on the elastic member 18 are inserted and fixed to prevent them from coming off by thermal deformation.

In the above description, the elastic member 18 fitted and fixed in the recess 7a of the spool 7 and the drag metal 16 were made to face each other, or the elastic member 18 was fixed to the drag metal 16 and made to face the holding plate 15 on the spool side. As shown in FIG. 9, the drag disk 17 and the elastic member 18 attached to the spool 7 side may be opposed to each other, or the elastic member 18 may be attached to the drag disk 17 and the elastic member 18 may be opposed to the holding plate 15 on the spool side. .

In the above description, the drag mechanism has been described by illustrating a double bearing type reel, but it may be implemented in other types of reels such as a single bearing type reel.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the drag mechanism is made watertight with a simple construction, the drag function is prevented from deteriorating due to moisture, and the inertia force is not increased. It is possible to provide a fishing reel that performs well.
