Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a level of a fishing reel in which a fishing line guide body capable of sliding left and right on a traverse cam shaft can be easily fitted to a fishing line position wound around a spool. Regarding the wind device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a fishing reel provided with a level wind device for winding a fishing line in parallel around a spool rotatably supported between reel side plates is, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-44062. In this level winder, a line guide provided between the side plates in front of the spool reciprocates left and right in synchronism with the rotation of the handle to wind the fishing line parallel to the spool. This is the configuration. In the case of actual fishing, if the line breaks due to interaction with the fish or correspondence with the root, or if the line is caught up to the end of the line, the axial direction of the line to the spool The winding position and the axial position of the line guide of the level winder may deviate from each other. If the fishing line is fed out while both phases are out of phase, the resistance during feeding due to the phase shift is large.In extreme cases, for example, the line guide is at the right end and the fishing line is pulled out from the left end of the spool. Because
In addition to not being able to perform a smooth feeding operation, when the fishing line is wound, the line jumps from the left end of the spool to the right end and is wound, or the line easily breaks in between the fishing lines, resulting in breakage of the line. It may end up. The level wind device is of a type that is driven in conjunction with a drive gear on the handle shaft, but is interlocked with the rotation of the spool as in the level wind device known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-38632, for example. There is also a type that is driven by. In this case, if the phase shift as described above occurs, when the spool is clutched in the free state and the fishing line is discharged, a line resistance is generated and the flight distance is greatly reduced, There are problems such as cuts.

[0003]

The problem to be solved is that when the axial winding position of the fishing line around the spool and the axial position of the line guide of the level winder are out of phase with each other, This is because the resistance at the time of feeding is large, the flight distance is greatly reduced at the time of discharging the fishing line, and when the fishing line is wound, the line easily gets caught between the fishing lines and the line breaks.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to allow the fishing line guide body to be easily aligned with the position of the fishing line wound around the spool so that the resistance during feeding is small and the flight distance is extended when the fishing line is discharged. It is an object of the present invention to provide a level reel device for a fishing reel that prevents yarn breakage.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a fishing line guide body is slid to the left and right on a traverse cam shaft formed with a traverse groove which is interlocked with the winding operation of a handle supported between reel side plates. In a level winding device of a fishing reel in which the engaging element provided on the fishing line guide body is engaged with the traverse groove, the engaging element provided on the fishing line guide body is provided in the fishing line guide body. The gist of the invention is that it is possible to disengageably switch to the traverse groove.

[0006]

When the fishing line guide body 5 is aligned with the winding end position of the fishing line 17 wound on the outer circumference of the spool 4a of the spool 4,
The pressing operation portion 9a of the operation member 9 is pressed against the spring 25. Due to this pressing, the bifurcated arm portion 9b is advanced, the pin 23 of the engaging element 7 is pushed down by the inclined cam surface 9d, and the engaging portion 7a is disengaged from the traverse groove 6a. In this state, the fishing line guide 5
When is pushed in the axial direction, the position of the fishing line guide body 5 can be aligned with the winding end position of the fishing line 17. Pressing operation part 9a
When the pressure is released, the engaging element 7 is raised by the spring 25 and the engaging portion 7a is engaged with the traverse groove 6a.
