Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a drag force adjuster for a dual bearing reel, a single bearing reel, a spinning reel, and a closed face reel.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In principle, the rotating body that rotates by feeding the fishing line is a spool in each of the fishing reels described above, but may be a rotor in a closed face reel. Among these fishing reels, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-30688 discloses a drag force adjusting body for a drag device that applies a braking force to a spool of a dual bearing reel.

This drag force adjuster is required to have sufficient strength because it is necessary to strongly press the braking washer used for braking in the axial direction. Therefore, the drag force adjuster is entirely made of metal. Also, when fighting with an actual fish, rotate the adjuster slowly in the direction of tightening or loosening the adjuster with your fingers, or by pressing or pulling strongly with your fingers or sliding the adjuster slowly. It is used in various ways according to the fishing situation.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the adjuster is made of metal, it feels uncomfortable to touch, and the fingers are likely to hurt when tightening or loosening. In addition, adding a scale indicating the angle of rotation to the metal adjuster and performing various kinds of coloring after metal processing according to customer's design preference variations complicates the manufacturing process and increases cost.

[0007] Accordingly, the present invention provides a drag force adjusting body for a fishing reel that has sufficient strength and provides a good operation feeling during the drag force adjusting operation, and that meets the customer's design preference. To aim.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In view of the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a drag force adjusting body for a drag device that applies a braking force to a rotating body that rotates by feeding a fishing line, and includes a main body made of metal, an outer surface of the main body, and a finger. A drag force for a fishing reel, which is provided with a non-metallic cover body that covers the outer peripheral edge that is operated by contacting, and that can be colored during molding and is fixed to the main body. Provide a regulator.

[0007]

[Action]

 Since the main body of the adjuster is made of metal, it has sufficient strength, and the outer surface and the outer peripheral edge that the finger touches when operating this are covered by a cover made of non-metallic material such as resin that is easy to color during molding. Since it is covered, it is possible to provide a low-cost drag reel drag force adjuster that matches the design taste variation while improving the operational feeling.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway plan view of an example dual bearing reel according to the present invention. A handle 10 is attached to an outer end portion of a handle shaft 12 which is supported by the reel body 16 and is rotatable. On the other hand, a reverse rotation preventing ratchet wheel 24 is fixed to the inner end portion. The reverse rotation preventing claw wheel 24 is configured so as not to rotate in the reverse direction, which is the fishing line feeding direction, when a reverse rotation preventing claw (not shown) is engaged.

A drive gear 14 is slidable on the handle shaft 12 in the axial direction of the handle shaft 12 so as to be pressed against one side surface of the reverse rotation preventing ratchet wheel 24 and rotatable about the handle shaft 12. Has been overfitted. Further, a braking washer 28 is slidable on the handle shaft 12 in the axial direction of the handle shaft 12 and can push the drive gear 14 against one side surface of the reverse rotation preventing pawl 24, but the relative rotation is not possible. Instead, it is fitted so as to rotate together with the handle shaft 12.

A spool shaft 18 is supported on the reel body 16 in parallel with the handle shaft 12. A spool 20 is fixed to the spool shaft 18, and a pinion capable of meshing with the drive gear 14 is provided. A gear 26 rotates together with the spool shaft 18 and is slidably mounted in the longitudinal direction of the spool shaft 18. The pinion gear 26 is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the spool shaft 18 by the clutch lever 22 so that the pinion gear 26 can be engaged with or disengaged from the drive gear 14. Therefore, during casting, the spool 20 can be freely rotated to feed the fishing line.

A drag force adjusting body 30 is screwed onto the handle shaft 12, and the drag force adjusting body 30 is rotated by a finger of a fisherman to press the braking washer 28 via a leaf spring 36. When the drive gear 14 is pressed against one surface of the reverse rotation preventing ratchet wheel 24 integrated with the handle shaft 12, the drive gear 14 rotates with the rotation of the handle 10.

When the reverse rotation preventing pawl 24 is engaged with the reverse rotation preventing pawl 24 to bring the handle shaft 12 into the reverse rotation preventing state, and when the fishing line is wound around the spool 20, the fish caught on the tip of the fishing line is caught. If this line is pulled with a force exceeding the strength of, the line will break. In order to prevent this, the pressing force against the drive gear 14 is adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the adjusting body 30 described above, and when the fishing line is pulled by a certain force and the spool 20 tries to rotate in the reverse direction, The driving force applied to the driving gear 14 by the union gear 26 causes the driving gear 14 to slide and rotate with respect to the handle shaft 12 so that the fishing line can be paid out.

Referring also to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the drag force adjusting body 30 includes a metallic main body 32 having an internal thread 32 E formed on the inner circumference and screwed to the handle shaft 12, and a rotation angle eye. The cover body 34 is made of resin or hard rubber and is covered or colored to cover the main body 32. The main body 32 is formed with three protrusions 32C for operation with a finger. A cover body 34 having an outer peripheral edge portion 34B so as to cover an outer peripheral edge 32B of the main body 32 and an outer surface 32A which is the side of the handle 10 which is visible from the outside, and a hole 34C for inserting the handle shaft 12 therethrough. Is fixed.

This fixing is performed by engaging the engaging portion 34A of the cover body 34 with the hole 32D formed in the main body 32, but the present invention is not limited to this method of fixing. 5 and 6 show a modified example corresponding to FIG. 4, in which the tip of the outer peripheral edge portion 34B 'of the cover body 34' is used as the engaging portion 34A 'instead of the engaging portion 34A. This is a form in which the protrusion 32C is held from both sides, and FIG. 6 is a form in which the engaging portion 34A "of the cover body 34" is inserted into the hole 32D of the protrusion 32C of the main body and the tip is welded.

The present invention is also applicable to other types of fishing reels other than the above-mentioned double bearing reel. In the dual bearing reel in the above example, the braking target of the drag force by the adjuster is the spool 20 during reverse rotation, but in the closed face reel the braking target may be the rotor.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, since the main body is made of metal, it has sufficient strength, and its outer peripheral edge, which comes into contact with a finger when it is operated, and the outer surface seen from the outside, are formed and colored at the same time. Since it is covered by a possible non-metallic cover body, it is possible to provide a low-cost fishing reel drag force adjuster that meets the customer's design preferences while providing a good operating feel during drag force adjustment operation. Become.
