Abstract

PURPOSE:To smoothly and lightly perform a winding operation of a spinning reel for fishing by keeping the balance of rotation during the winding operation by a rotational handle. CONSTITUTION:This spinning reel is equipped with a rotational handle 4 so that its arm unit 5 may be almost perpendicular to a winding drive shaft 2 supported to the reel body 1 and with a balancer 10 at the arm unit 5-attached part on the opposite side to the arm unit 5 in a state in which the balancer can be shifted toward the outside by a centrifugal force due to rotation of the rotational handle 4. The weight of the rotational handle 4 is balanced by energizing the balancer 10 toward the arm unit side direction by a spring and utilizing the centrifugal force generated in the winding rotation of the rotational handle 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to an improvement of a rotary handle for winding fishing line in a spinning reel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A rotating handle of a fishing spinning reel is provided with an arm portion bent and extending in a radial direction from a mounting base of a winding drive shaft provided in a reel body, and an outer end portion of the arm portion. It is common to use a crank type handle consisting of a handle and a knob, but with such a crank type handle, the weight of the rotating handle is biased to the bending side of the arm and the rotation balance is disturbed and winding operation is performed. There are defects that are not light and smooth. Therefore, in order to improve the imbalance of the rotary handle, as seen in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-9496, an arm portion having a knob portion with respect to the winding drive shaft is provided like a rotary handle of a dual bearing reel. It is known to face each other.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned opposed arm method, since the arm portion on the side which is not gripped during the fishing operation is protruding, the handle portion is large and it interferes with the fishing operation, and the fishing line is easily entangled. However, there are problems that the fishing line discharging operation cannot be performed smoothly and quickly, and the fishing line cannot be stored compactly when carried. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve these problems and provide a fishing spinning reel having a small and compact rotating handle which does not hinder the fishing operation.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an arm portion of a rotary handle in a direction substantially orthogonal to a winding drive shaft of a reel unit and an arm portion at a mounting portion of the arm portion. A balance member is provided on the side substantially opposite to that of the balance member so that the balance member can be moved outwardly by the action of centrifugal force due to the rotation of the rotating handle. When it is stored, the winding operation can be performed more lightly and smoothly, and it is convenient to carry.

[0005]

[Function] When the rotary handle is rotated, the balance member moves to the side opposite to the arm portion according to the magnitude of the centrifugal force due to the centrifugal force due to the rotary action, and the weight of the rotary handle is balanced with respect to the winding drive shaft. Holds and smoothes the winding action.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
Although not shown in the drawings, the winding drive shaft 2 supported by the reel body 1 of the spinning reel has a rotor 3 as well known in the art.
Is provided with a drive gear for rotating, and an arm portion 5 of the rotary handle 4 is fixed to the outer end portion thereof in a substantially orthogonal direction, and a knob portion 6 is provided at a tip end portion of the arm portion 5. Further, a support cylinder 8 on which a locking pin 7 is stretched integrally is projectingly provided on the fixing portion of the arm portion 5 on the opposite side to the arm portion 5, and the locking pin 7 is fitted in the support barrel 8. Long hole 9
.Balancer 10 made of lead, brass, etc. with 9
Is slidably inserted, a spring 11 for urging the balancer 10 toward the arm portion 5 side is internally provided between the inner bottom portion of the balancer 10 and the locking pin 7, and further outside of the support cylinder 8. The protective cylinder 12 is screwed onto the rotary handle 4, and the rotary handle 4 is detachably attached to the winding drive shaft 2.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, when the rotary handle 4 is rotated by gripping the grip portion 6 and the winding drive shaft 2 is rotated to wind the fishing line by the rotor 3,
The balancer 10 moves in the direction opposite to the arm portion 5 against the spring 11 due to the centrifugal force due to the winding rotation action to balance the weight of the rotation handle 4 with respect to the winding drive shaft 2 and the winding operation of the rotation handle 4. To smoothly and lightly.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the balance member is integrally and unitarily mounted and fixed to the winding drive shaft 2, and the support cylinder 8 having the balancer 10 is fitted to the winding drive shaft 2. A mounting cylinder 8'that can be integrally formed is fixed by fixing screws 8 "so that the balancer 10 is provided on the side of the rotating handle 4 substantially opposite to the arm portion 5 and the rotating handle 4 is integrated with the winding drive shaft 2. In each of the above-described embodiments, the spring 1 for biasing the balancer 10 is formed.
1 is provided for convenience of operation and portability, but an urging spring is not always necessary.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, the centrifugal force generated when the rotary handle is rotated is used to balance the rotary handle by moving the balance member. Therefore, the handle is prevented from becoming large and heavy. The fishing line winding operation can be carried out smoothly and lightly, and the fishing line has an excellent feature of facilitating fishing operation and carrying of the reel. Further, in the present invention, when the balance member is biased toward the arm portion side by the spring, it is possible to prevent the balance member from swinging while being carried and used, which is convenient for winding operation and carrying.
