CONSTITUTION:The reciprocating shaft 4 of a spool 2 on which a drag mechanism with a frictional brake member 1 is disposed is provided with an incorporately rotated transmission gear 10, and an interlocking shaft 12 to which a driven gear engaged with the transmission gear 10 is attached is supported on the rear part of a reel main body 2 so as to cross with the spool shaft 10. A catching tine 18 is formed in a state capable of being freely engageable with a catching gear 14 by the use of an operation lever 17, the catching gear being disposed so as to incorporately rotate with the interlocking shaft 12. When the interlocking shaft 12 is caught, the spool is switched into a drag operation state, and when the interlocking shaft 12 is released, the spool is switched into a free rotation state.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a drag mechanism for applying a braking force to a spool in a fishing spinning reel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, the drag mechanism of a spinning reel for fishing is constructed so that a drag adjusting knob is rotated to adjust the drag force gradually and weakly. When operating, prevent the cutting of fishing line,
In order to prevent the fish from slicing and prevent the fish from biting, improve the fish's feeding, etc., immediately change the spool from the drag operating state to the spool free rotation state, or hold the spool in the free rotation state and catch the fish. There are cases such as when fishing is performed while the drag is operating. Therefore, it is known from Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-274638 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-405 that the drag mechanism is in the drag operating state and is released to switch the spool to the free rotating state so as to cope with these fishing operations. Has been.

[0003]

However, in the conventional system, a mechanism for switching the drag mechanism between the operating state and the non-operating state is provided at the rear portion of the spool shaft, so that the front and rear strokes of the spool are restricted and the reel main body is restricted. As the length becomes longer and the spool sliding mechanism, spool braking mechanism and its switching mechanism are integrated on the spool shaft, the structure becomes complicated and the assembly operation at the time of manufacturing the reel and the maintenance during use are troublesome. There is a problem that the overall balance is lost. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a drag device for a spinning reel for fishing, which solves the above problems and effectively utilizes the limited space in the reel body and simplifies the structure. It is what

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a spool at the front part of a spool shaft which reciprocates back and forth in conjunction with the rotation of a handle shaft, and rotates the spool. In a fishing spinning reel having a drag mechanism for braking, the interlocking shaft rotated via the spool shaft and a gear mechanism is orthogonal to the spool shaft and is supported in the reel body, and on the interlocking shaft. A switching means is provided for switching the spool between a drag operating state and a free rotating state.

When the drag mechanism is provided on the interlocking shaft, the drag mechanism and the interlocking shaft are detachably formed by the switching means.
When the drag mechanism is provided at the front of the spool shaft, the interlocking shaft is formed so as to be rotatable and lockable by the switching means. Further, it is preferable that the switching means is provided with a return mechanism for returning the spool free rotation state to the drag operation state in association with the rotation of the handle shaft.

[0006]

When the interlocking shaft provided orthogonal to the spool shaft is engaged or locked with the drag mechanism by the switching means, the spool is in the drag operating state, and the interlocking shaft and the drag mechanism are separated by the switching means. Alternatively, when the interlocking shaft is made rotatable, the spool is in a free rotation state, and when the handle shaft is rotated in this spool free rotation state, the return mechanism returns the switching means to the position of the drag state and the spool is rotated. The drag is activated.
