Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a single-axis reel such as a fly reel,
Particularly, it relates to the left-right winding direction switching mechanism.

[Prior Art and Its Problems] In a single-axis reel or a dual-axis reel in which a spool rotates, in the case of right-hand winding, the rotation is clockwise (clockwise direction), and in the case of left-hand winding, left rotation (counterclockwise direction) It is convenient to turn the handle to, so it is necessary to switch between right and left winding.

Conventionally, in a fishing reel, it is known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-33989 that a brake drum is provided with a pawl to engage a ratchet to apply a braking force to the spool. Since the braking force can be transmitted only in the direction, it can be used only for either left-handed or right-handed.

Further, in fishing reels, it is known that the brake claw is replaced to switch between left winding and right winding, but in such a method, parts such as the brake claw must be removed, There are problems that it is troublesome and difficult to handle, and that parts are easily lost.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems.
Switching between right-handed winding and transmission of braking force in both left and right directions can be performed easily and quickly with a compact structure and without attaching or detaching parts, and the fishing line does not get entangled in the switching mechanism. It is an object of the present invention to provide a single-shaft reel with a left-right winding direction switching mechanism, which can prevent the hand or the like from accidentally hitting and switching the switching mechanism.

[Means for Solving Problems] In a single-axis reel with a left / right winding direction switching mechanism according to the present invention, A) a spool rotatably supported by a spool shaft provided in a reel body, B) the above A ratchet fixed to the spool, the ratchet having teeth formed on the inner circumference, C) A brake plate provided between the reel body and the spool, wherein the spool shaft is in a braking force applied state. A brake plate that is rotatably supported on the left side of the ratchet; D) a left-handed brake pawl that is provided on the brake plate located on the inner circumference of the ratchet and that can be disengaged from the teeth of the ratchet by swinging; E) a right-handed brake pawl provided on the brake plate located on the inner circumference of the ratchet and capable of engaging and disengaging with a tooth portion of the ratchet, F) the left-handed brake pawl and front The right-handed brake pawl can be switched to either the first holding state or the second holding state by sliding the pawl spring that urges the ratchet to engage with the tooth portion of the ratchet, G). A left-right switching spring attached to the brake plate,

And a right-handed brake claw releasing portion for releasing the engagement of.

[Operation] In the single-axis reel with the left / right winding direction switching mechanism according to the present invention, when the left / right switching spring is slid to the first holding state, the left-handed brake claw releasing portion causes the left-handed brake to move. The pawl is rocked against the pawl spring to release the engagement with the ratchet. On the other hand, the right-handed brake pawl is biased by the pawl spring so as to engage with the ratchet side. That is, in the first holding state, only the right-handed brake pawl is engaged with the ratchet side. Since the brake plate is rotatably supported by the spool shaft in a braking force applied state, this braking force is applied to the spool, and reverse rotation during right-hand winding is prevented.

When the left / right switching spring is slid from the first holding state to the second holding state, the right-handed brake claw releasing portion swings the right-handed brake claw against the claw spring. Disengage the ratchet. On the other hand, the left-handed brake pawl is biased by the pawl spring so as to engage with the ratchet side. That is, in the second holding state, only the left-handed brake pawl is engaged with the ratchet side, the braking force is applied to the spool, and reverse rotation during left-handed rotation is prevented.

The left / right switching spring is attached to the brake plate, and the brake plate is provided between the reel body and the spool. Therefore, the fishing line is not entangled with the left / right switching spring, and the hand of a fisherman does not accidentally hit the left / right switching spring.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 2, the reel unit 1 is formed in a horizontal circular cup shape having a substantially U-shaped vertical section. A spool shaft 2 is horizontally projected from the center of a disk-shaped side plate 1b of the reel unit 1. A disc-shaped brake plate 3 is rotatably supported in the main body 1 by being externally mounted on the base of the spool shaft 2. A spool 4 is held on the spool shaft 2 such that it can be rotated forward and backward. The spool 4 is detachably supported by a stopper member 5.

The stop member 5 is composed of a main body 5a and a pressing body 5b. The main body 5a has an elastic hooking piece 5c at the inner end. The elastic hooking piece 5c is detachably attached to the neck portion 2a provided at the tip of the spool shaft 2. The pressing body 5b is formed so that it can be pushed into the main body 5a and that the elastic hooking piece 5c can be elastically deformed. Therefore, the spool 4 can be easily attached to and detached from the spool shaft 2. The configuration of the stopper member 5 is not limited to this, and screws or other known members may be used.

A ratchet 6 having teeth on its inner circumference is fixed to the inner end of the spool 4 corresponding to the brake plate 3. The brake plate 3 is provided with a left-handed brake pawl 7 and a right-handed brake pawl 8 located on the inner circumference of the ratchet 6. Left hand brake pawl 7 and right hand brake pawl 8
Are pivotally attached to the brake plate 3 in symmetrical positions so as to be swingable by pins 9 and 10, respectively. That is, the left-handed brake claw 7 and the right-handed brake claw 8 swingably engage with the ratchet 6 in a disengageable manner. In addition,
The left-handed brake pawl 7 and the right-handed brake pawl 8 are urged by the pawl springs 11 in a direction in which they are engaged with the ratchet 6.

As shown in FIG. 1, a pressing plate 13 is screwed to the brake plate 3 by a screw 12. This holding plate 13
The left-handed brake claw 7 and the right-handed brake claw 8 are prevented from coming off the brake plate 3. Also, the brake plate 3
An arcuate groove 14 is provided in the groove. The groove 14 is
The left and right brake pawls 7 and the right wind brake pawls 8 have lengths in the circumferential direction corresponding to the right and left brake pawls 8, and a strip-shaped left / right switching spring 15 is fitted so as to be slidable in the length direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, right and left switching springs 15 are provided at both ends in the length direction with a protrusion 15a which is a right-handed brake claw releasing part and a protrusion 15b which is a left-handed brake claw releasing part. Further, the operation lever portion 15c is provided from the substantially central portion. The protrusions 15a and 15b and the operation lever portion 15c are
As shown in FIG. 5, they are bent in the same direction.
The left / right switching spring 15 is moved from the first holding state shown in FIG. 3 to the fourth holding state.
When the slide operation is performed to the second holding state shown in the figure, the protrusion
The right-handed brake pawl 8 is engaged with the right-handed brake pawl 8 so that the right-handed brake pawl 8 is swung in a direction away from the ratchet 6. When the left / right switching spring 15 is slid from the second holding state shown in FIG. 4 to the first holding state shown in FIG. 3, the protrusion 15b engages with the left-handed brake pawl 7 and As a result, the left-handed brake pawl 7 is swung in a direction away from the ratchet 6.

As shown in FIG. 1, the left / right switching spring 15 has a brake plate 3
It is pressed by a pressing plate 16 superposed and fixed on it so as not to separate from the concave groove 14. The holding plate 16 has an operation lever
An arcuate window hole 16a for projecting 15c is provided.

As shown in FIG. 3, the left / right switching spring 15 is formed by the positioning portion 15d curving itself in a substantially semicircular shape so as to be held at each switching position of left winding and right winding. The positioning portion 15d is elastically deformed by sliding the left / right switching spring 15 and rides over the stopper 17 protruding from the inner side surface of the groove 14, and the left / right switching spring 15 stops.
Locked in. As a result, the left / right switching spring 15 is held in the state shown in FIG. 3 or 4.

In the illustrated example, the mechanism for applying the braking force to the brake plate 3 is formed as follows. As shown in FIG.
An adjusting lever 18 having a cam 19 at its inner end is rotatably supported on the side plate 1b of the reel unit 1. As shown in FIG. 1, a slider 20 is arranged inside the side plate 1b. The cam 19 allows the slider 20 to slide in the up-down direction (direction in which it comes in contact with and separates from the brake plate). A brake spring 21 is attached to the slider 20. The brake spring 21 is elastically contacted with the outer peripheral surface of the brake plate 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the cam 19 is rotated by the adjusting lever 18, the slider 20 slides in the vertical direction. Thus, the pressing force of the brake spring 21 against the brake plate 3 is adjusted, and the braking force applied to the brake plate 3 is arbitrarily adjusted.

As shown in FIG. 2, a handle 22 is rotatably supported on the spool 4. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a rod receiving leg rod 1c is integrally erected from the peripheral wall 1a of the reel unit 1 so as to stand upright.

Next, the operation of the mechanism of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 shows the state of right winding. In this state, the left-handed brake claw 7 engages the protrusion 15b and is rotated so as to be disengaged from the ratchet 6. On the other hand, the right-handed brake claw 8 is a spring.
It is biased by 11 to engage the ratchet 6. As a result, the spool 4 cannot rotate in the direction opposite to the arrow A direction in the figure unless a force exceeding the braking force is applied.

That is, in the right-hand winding state shown in FIG. 3, the braking force is transmitted to the spool 4 in the following manner when the spool rotates in the reverse direction. When the spool 4 is rotated (reversed) in the direction opposite to the arrow A direction, the right-handed brake pawl 8 engages the ratchet 6 and applies a rotational force to the brake plate 3. Here, the brake claw 3 has a brake spring 21 (see FIG. 1).
The braking force is given by. Therefore, this braking force is transmitted to the spool 4 via the brake plate 3. That is, the spool 4 does not reverse unless a force exceeding the braking force is applied.

On the other hand, when the spool 4 is rotated (normally rotated) in the direction of arrow A, the right-handed brake claw 8 engaged with the ratchet 6 resists the spring force and rotates around the pin 9. Rotate around. Therefore, the spool 4 can be wound in the right-hand winding state.

The change from the right winding state to the left winding state is performed as follows. In FIG. 3, the left / right switching spring 15 is slid in the clockwise direction along the groove 14. As a result, the right-handed brake claw 8 is swung in the clockwise direction in the figure against the spring force by the protrusion 15a, and is disengaged from the ratchet 6. On the other hand, the left-handed brake pawl 7 is swung by the pawl spring 11 because the pressing force of the protrusion 15b is released, and the left-handed brake pawl 7 engages with the ratchet 6. As a result, the spool 4 cannot rotate in the direction opposite to the arrow B direction in FIG. 4 unless a force exceeding the braking force is applied.

In the left-handed winding state shown in FIG. 4, the mechanism in which the braking force is transmitted to the spool 4 when the spool is rotated in reverse is the same as in the right-handed winding state. That is, when the spool 4 is rotated (reversely rotated) in the direction opposite to the arrow B direction, the left-handed brake pawl 7 engages with the ratchet 6 and applies a rotational force to the brake plate 3. Here, the brake spring 21 is attached to the brake plate 3.
The braking force is given by (see FIG. 1). Therefore, this braking force is transmitted to the spool 4 via the brake plate 3. That is, the spool 4 does not reverse unless a force exceeding the braking force is applied.

On the other hand, when the spool 4 is rotated (normally rotated) in the direction of the arrow B, the left-handed brake pawl 7 engaged with the ratchet 6 counteracts the spring force and is rotated about the pin 10. Rotate clockwise. Therefore, the spool 4 can be wound in the left-handed state.

The change from the left-handed state to the right-handed state may be carried out by reversing the change from the right-handed state to the left-handed state. That is, the left / right switching spring 15 is slid counterclockwise from the position shown in FIG. As a result, the left-handed brake pawl 7 has a protrusion 15b.
Is released from the ratchet 6. On the other hand, the right-handed brake claw 8 can be engaged with the ratchet 6, and the state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained.

In this way, in either case of right-handed or left-handed winding, the spool can be wound during forward rotation of the spool, and the braking force applied to the brake plate 3 is transmitted to the spool 4 during reverse rotation of the spool, so that the reverse rotation of the spool 4 is prevented. Be blocked.

The left / right switching spring 15 is slid by removing the spool 4 from the spool shaft 2 and manually operating the operating lever portion 15c.

As described above, in the left-right winding direction switching mechanism-equipped single-shaft reel according to the present invention, the left winding brake claw 7 and the right winding brake claw are located inside the ratchet 6 fixed to the spool 4. 8 are pivotally attached to the brake plate 3, respectively. The left-handed brake pawl 7 and the right-handed brake pawl 8 are made to correspond to the left and right winding directions by sliding the left and right switching springs 15 left and right. Therefore, the transmission of the braking force to the spool 4 can be switched in both the left winding and the right winding. As a result, with respect to this type of reel, it is possible to switch between left-handed reel and right-handed reel with a compact structure. Further, the left and right switching springs 15 can be switched between left-handed winding and right-handed winding by an extremely easy operation such as sliding, and there is no need to remove parts.

Also, the operation lever part for switching between left-handed and right-handed
A left / right switching spring 15 having 15c is attached to a brake plate 3 pivotally supported in the reel body 1. Therefore, the fishing line does not entangle with the left / right switching spring 15. It is also possible to prevent the hand of the fisherman from accidentally hitting the left / right switching spring 15. Therefore, it does not switch to the right-handed winding state or the left-handed winding state against the will of the fisherman.

[Effect of the Invention] In the single-axis reel with the left / right winding direction switching mechanism according to the present invention, when the left / right switching spring is slid to the first holding state, only the right-handed brake pawl is engaged with the ratchet side. Then, the braking force is applied to the spool, and the reverse rotation at the time of right winding is prevented. On the other hand, when the left / right switching spring is slid from the first holding state to the second holding state, only the left-handed brake pawl is engaged with the ratchet side, and the braking force is applied to the spool. It is given and the reversal at the time of left winding is prevented. This allows
To provide a single-axis reel with a left-right winding direction switching mechanism that can switch left-handed and right-handed winding and transfer of braking force in both left and right directions with a compact structure and easily and quickly without detaching parts. You can

Further, the ratchet has teeth formed on the inner circumference, and the left-handed brake pawl and the right-handed brake pawl are
The brake plate is provided on the inner circumference of the ratchet. The left / right switching spring is attached to the brake plate. Therefore, it is possible to provide a single-axis reel with a left / right winding direction switching mechanism that prevents the fishing line from being entangled in the switching mechanism and prevents the fisherman's hand or the like from accidentally hitting the switching mechanism and switching.
