Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an improvement of a drag for adjusting a rotation torque of a spool in a fishing reel.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Generally, in surf reels, trolling reels, double-bearing reels, etc., a star-shaped star drag is attached to the support shaft of the handle, and the pressure contact force of the clutch plate inside the reel is adjusted by turning the drag by hand. The winding torque of the thread is adjusted.

By the way, in most of the conventional fishing reels for this type of fishing, regardless of manual operation or electric operation, the star drag is tightened when the fish is hit or when the road thread is wound up. In such a case, the strong pull pulls the line yarn in the reverse direction of the spool, and the star drag, which is directly connected to the drag gear, also rotates. Therefore, especially when the star drag rotates at high speed, such as during electric drive,
The angler's finger accidentally touches the spinning star drag,
Alternatively, an accident such as a finger being caught between the reel body and the reel body may occur. Such accidents were particularly frequent during the reel winding operation, such as when the fish was hit.

This invention prevents an unexpected accident for a fisherman by incorporating a switching mechanism for intermittently connecting the connection between the star drag and the drag gear, which may rotate with the rotation of the spool, in the above-mentioned case. This is the purpose.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention loosely fits an inner cylindrical portion of a star drag (hereinafter referred to as "drag handle") to the outer periphery of a drag gear that can adjust the pressure contact force of a multi-plate clutch by rotating, On the inner concave surface of the drag handle, a lock lever having a head with one end protruding to the outer surface of the drag handle and a claw that is lowered by a certain amount by pushing the head and engages with the tooth surface of the drag gear is pivotally supported. , One end contacts the lower surface of the head of the lock lever, and the other end pivotally mounts an intermediate lever connected to a release pin that elastically projects from the drag handle, and the pawl is attached to the tooth surface of the drag gear via the release pin. It is configured so that it can be disengaged, and a means for contacting with the lock lever and further providing a fixing mechanism for holding the lock lever at the engagement or disengagement position of the pawl is used.

[Action]

In the drag of the present invention, when the head of the lock lever is pushed in, the claw engages with the tooth surface of the drag gear, and this state is maintained by the fixing mechanism.Therefore, when the drag handle is rotated, the drag gear rotates integrally. The pressure contact force of the multi-plate clutch can be adjusted. On the other hand, if the release pin is pushed in, the head of the lock lever projects to the outer surface of the drag handle via the intermediate lever, and at the same time, the engagement of the claw with the drag gear is released.

Therefore, the drag handle insulated from the drag gear does not rotate even when the drag gear rotates in conjunction with the spool when winding the road yarn.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 is a drag gear connected to a manual shaft 3 via a sleeve 2 and 4 is an inner cylinder portion 4a loosely fitted in the drag gear 1. The drag handle 5 is a lock lever pivotally supported by the inner concave surface 4c of the drag handle 4 and has a head 5b whose one end penetrates the drag handle 4 and projects to the outer surface.
And the lower surface thereof has a through hole 4b in the inner cylindrical portion 4a of the drag handle 4.
While the claw 5a engaging with the gear 1a of the drag gear is integrally provided, the arm 5c is projected on the other end side of the lock lever 5.

A leaf spring 6 is provided at the tip of the arm 5c so as to be in contact with the arm 5c, and a fixing mechanism that can hold the lock lever 5 at the engagement or disengagement position of the claw 5a is constructed by both of them. Is.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an intermediate lever, one end of which is pivotally supported so as to come into contact with the lower surface of the head of the lock lever 5, and the other end of which is in contact with a release pin 8 that can project to the outer surface of the drag handle 4,
By pushing in the release pin 8, the head 5b of the lock lever is pushed up via the ascending intermediate lever 7, and at the same time, the engagement between the claw 5a and the tooth surface 1a of the drag gear is released.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 9 is a coil spring that prevents the release pin 8 from rattling and restricts its protrusion, and 10 in FIG. 3 is a multi-plate attached to a master gear 11 having a U-shaped cross section. A clutch, which is composed of a plurality of lining plates, is operated by operating the drag handle 4 and rotating the drag handle with its claw 5a engaged with the drag gear 1. The upper cylinder 12 and the drag spring 13 are pushed to enable the multi-plate clutch 10 to be tightened, and 14 is a manual handle for rotating a spool.

Next, the operation of the drag according to the present invention, which is seen in the above embodiment, will be described. When adjusting the rotational torque of the spool (not shown), as shown in FIG. The claw 5a is engaged with the tooth surface 1a of the drag gear 1 through the through hole 4b of the inner cylinder portion 4a of the drag handle by pushing the claw 5a.

At the same time, the arm 5c on the other end side of the lock lever slides and moves on the curved surface 6a of the leaf spring and is supported on the one end side, so that the lock lever 5 is fixed at that position. In this case, the intermediate lever 7 that contacts the lower surface of the lock lever 5
With the pushing of the head 5b, the other end having the central portion as a fulcrum pushes up the release pin 8 against the coil spring 9, so that the release pin 8 is projected to the outer surface of the drag handle 4. Become.

By the above-described operation, the claw 5a of the internal lock lever and the tooth surface 1a of the drag gear are engaged and integrated in the drag handle 4, so that if the drag handle 4 is rotated in a certain direction, the drag gear 4 will be accompanied. 1 also rotates, which pushes the drag spring 13 and the cylindrical body 12 to freely adjust the pressure contact force of the multi-plate clutch 10.

On the other hand, after adjusting the rotation torque of the spool (not shown), as shown in FIG. 2, by pushing in the release pin 8, the other end of the lock lever is lifted via the intermediate lever 7, The head 5b is pushed up to the outer surface of the drag handle 4, and the claw 5a is also attached to the tooth surface 1a of the drag gear 1.
The drag gear 1 and the drag handle 4 are disengaged from each other. Further, the arm 5c which operates in response to the operation of the lock lever 5 slides on the curved surface 6a of the leaf spring to the other side, and in this state, the lock lever 5 is fixed again.

As described above, when the claw 5a is disengaged from the drag gear 1, the drag handle 4 does not rotate even if the drag gear 1 rotates in conjunction with the spool that rotates due to winding of a line thread or pulling of fish.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the drag structure of the present invention, when the rotation torque of the spool is adjusted, the claw of the lock lever is engaged with the drag gear to enable the drag gear and the drag handle to rotate integrally. In the normal case, especially when winding the road yarn on the spool, even when the drag gear rotates in conjunction with the spool by disengaging the pawl from the tooth surface of the drag gear via the intermediate lever by the release pin, The outer drag handle does not rotate.

Therefore, there is no fear of an accident in which the fisherman touches the drag with his finger or gets caught in the drag even when the high-speed winding of the yarn is electrically performed.

Further, the drag of the present invention has a usefulness that it can be expected to be applied to various reels because it has a small number of constituent parts and a simple structure.
