Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to fishing provided with measuring means for measuring the length of a fishing line delivered from a spool, and notifying means for notifying the value of the length of the fishing line measured by the measuring means. The present invention relates to an improvement of a reel for use.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a fishing reel constructed as described above, there is one disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-155206. In this prior art example, a first display section for informing the amount of fishing line delivered from a spool. And a storage unit that stores the amount of fishing line delivered from the spool, and a second display unit that notifies the value stored in this storage unit.

[0003]

In the conventional example, since the value stored in the storage unit can be grasped via the second display unit, the value of the depth at which there is a hit is stored in this storage unit, so that the process can be carried out. When it is thrown in again, by lowering the work in process to the depth indicated by the second display portion, it is easy to cause atari and the fishing result can be improved. In the above-mentioned conventional example, the work in progress is held at a predetermined depth for about several seconds, or the depth of the work is stored in a storage unit such as a memory by a switch operation. Furthermore, for example, when it is called a bottom fish or the like, when fishing for fish that live near the sea floor, or when lowering a tackle to a shelf near the sea floor, as described above, the depth of In addition, there are many cases where it is desired to simultaneously grasp the depth of the seabed, and reels provided with a third display unit in addition to the above-mentioned second display unit are commercially available.

However, there is no reel for storing a plurality of fishing line feeding amounts at a desired timing in the feeding state of the fishing line and displaying them on the first display portion and the second display portion, respectively. There is a demand for a fishing reel that stores and informs a value desired by an angler. An object of the present invention is to rationally configure a fishing reel capable of storing a plurality of depths of a work in process and performing fishing based on the stored depths.

[0005]

The features of the present invention are, as described at the beginning, in a fishing reel constructed so that the length of the fishing line fed out from the spool is measured by the measuring means and is notified by the notifying means. , A plurality of display units, a switch mechanism capable of artificial selection operation, and a storage unit capable of holding a plurality of values, and the length of the fishing line measured by the measuring unit at the time of the selection operation of the switch mechanism. It is characterized in that it comprises a control means for holding the value in the storage means and displaying the value on the display section selected by the switch mechanism, and its operation and effect are as follows.

[0006]

According to the above characteristic (claim 1), for example, when fishing is carried out by lowering the tackle to the depth of the shelf near the sea bottom in boat fishing, after the tackle is put in, until the tackle bottoms. When the fishing line is fed out and the switch mechanism is selectively operated when the tackle reaches the bottom, the amount of the fishing line fed out when the switch mechanism is operated (depth of the tackle) is held in the storage means corresponding to the selection. , A switch mechanism that is displayed on the display unit corresponding to this selection, and after that, the tackle is pulled up by winding the fishing line and the depth notified by the notifying means reaches the depth or the like instructed by the boatman. By performing a selection operation different from the above selection, the feeding amount (depth of the work in progress) of the fishing line when the switch mechanism is operated is held in the storage means corresponding to this selection and corresponds to this selection. Is displayed on the display The things.

In this state, the depth of the seabed is displayed on one of the plurality of display units, and the depth of the shelf or the like designated by the boatman is displayed on the other display unit. Based on the value displayed on the screen and the value reported by the notification means, it is possible to find the depth at which you can feel atari by adjusting the depth of the work in progress while grasping the relative depth difference between the seabed and the shelf. , Furthermore, the depth is also displayed on the display by operating the switch mechanism at the timing when you feel atari, so when loading fish again after loading fish, you can display multiple depths on multiple displays. By determining the in-process depth based on the value, the in-process depth can be set to the most appropriate depth. In other words, according to the present invention, since a plurality of values of the desired depth can be held and displayed by operating the switch mechanism, the depth can be held and displayed quickly without waiting for the passage of time as in the conventional example. As a result, the angler can easily determine the depth of the tackle based on the plurality of displayed values to improve the fishing result.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the switch mechanism composed of a plurality of switches, when holding a plurality of values, each value can be selected only by selecting and operating the switch mechanism. It is displayed on the display unit. For example, erroneous operation is suppressed compared to the one that makes a selection by rotating the switch mechanism like a dial type or the one that makes a selection by changing the position like a slide type. A quick selection operation becomes possible and the fishing result can be further improved.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, in which the value when the switch mechanism is operated is held in the storage means in preference to the value held based on the passage of time, as in the case of searching the depth of the shelf,
Even when you feel atari while holding the work in progress at a predetermined depth for a certain period of time, it is possible to hold the value without performing a special operation, and in the state where the value is displayed by this holding, Even if you feel atari immediately after changing the depth of the shelf, by operating the switch mechanism, the depth at which atari is felt is displayed instead of the displayed value, so even if the shelf changes, this shelf By accurately recognizing the value of, it becomes possible to perform efficient fishing.

[0010]

Therefore, a fishing reel is rationally constructed in which the depths of a plurality of types of tackle are stored, and based on the stored depths, the tackle can be set to the most appropriate depth for efficient fishing. It was. Further, in the case where a plurality of switch mechanisms are provided, erroneous operation is eliminated, and in the case where the storage means retains the value when the switch mechanism is operated over the value retained based on the passage of time, the angler forgets the operation. In this case, the good value that can hold the value is not impaired, and the value when the switch mechanism is operated can be held with priority, so that it can immediately respond to the change of the shelf and further improve the fishing results. Has the effect of bringing about.
