Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drag mechanism for a fishing reel, and more particularly to a drag mechanism for a dual-bearing reel that generates sound.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a fishing reel is provided with a drag mechanism to prevent a drawback such as a fishing line being pulled by a fish, an excessive tension being applied to the fishing line, and the line breaking. Normally, when a fish is hooked and fished, the fishing line can be wound on the spool by winding the handle, and conversely, the spool is prevented from rotating in the line unwinding direction so that the line does not unwind freely. . For example, in a dual-bearing reel, in order to prevent the spool from rotating in the line reel-out direction, a handle shaft that rotates integrally via a drag mechanism and a main gear interlocked with the spool is made non-rotatable by a stopper or the like.

The drag mechanism is a mechanism for pressing a main gear and a member interlocked with a handle shaft so as to transmit torque between the two. The drag mechanism adjusts a degree of the press contact to form a connection between the main gear and the handle shaft. The torque that can be transmitted between the two can be adjusted. That is, when the tension of the fishing line increases and the torque for rotating the spool in the line payout direction exceeds a predetermined torque set by adjusting the drag mechanism, the main gear and the member that is interlocked with the handle shaft are pressed against each other. Both slip, and the main gear and the spool rotate in the line payout direction. Thereby, the tension applied to the fishing line is suppressed, and the breakage of the fishing line can be suppressed. Further, by operating the drag mechanism, the maximum tension applied to the fishing line can be set to an appropriate value so that the fish cannot escape.

[0004]

As described above, when the spool rotates in the line payout direction by applying a force greater than the tension of the fishing line set by the drag mechanism as described above, it sounds to the angler that the line is being paid out. It would be convenient for anglers if they could be notified by such means. However, if a structure is employed in which a sound is always generated when the spool is rotating in the line pay-out direction, the rotation of the spool is braked by generating the sound. Therefore, when dropping a gimmick from a fishing boat or the like, the falling speed of the gimmick becomes slow, and the arrival of the gimmick to the shelf position is delayed. When throwing the gimmick, there is a problem that the flight distance of the gimmick falls.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a drag mechanism which generates a sound which makes a fisherman recognize the state of the fishing line when the fish is caught.

[0006]

A drag mechanism for a fishing reel according to a first aspect of the present invention is a drag mechanism for restricting relative rotation between a main gear and a handle shaft interlocked with a spool.
It has a holding member, a pressing member, an adjusting member, a support member, a first sounding member, and a second sounding member. The holding member is a member that cannot rotate relative to the handle shaft and can hold the main gear. The pressing member presses the holding member against the main gear. The adjusting member adjusts the pressing force of the pressing member. The support member is a member that cannot rotate relative to the holding member or the handle shaft. The first sounding member is supported by the main gear and interlocks with the main gear. The second sounding member is supported by the support member, interlocks with the support member, and generates sound by interfering with the first sounding member by relative rotation between the main gear and the handle shaft.

When the fish is caught, while the torque applied to the spool is small, the holding member, which cannot rotate relative to the handle shaft, is pressed against the main gear by the pressing member and pressed against the main gear. As a result, the main gear and the handle shaft do not rotate relative to each other, and if the rotation of the handle shaft is stopped, the spool interlocked with the main gear does not rotate in the line payout direction. When the torque applied to the spool increases, both slide at the pressure contact portion between the holding member and the main gear, and the spool rotates in the line payout direction while receiving a predetermined resistance even when the rotation of the handle shaft is stopped. When the handle shaft and the main gear rotate relative to each other due to slippage between the holding member and the main gear, the first sounding member supported by the main gear and interlocking with the first sound output member and the support member that cannot rotate relative to the handle shaft interlock. Interference with the second sounding member generates sound. Thus, when the fish is caught, the sound is generated when the spool rotates in the line payout direction, so that the angler can recognize the rotation of the spool, which is convenient for the angler. Since this noise is generated when the gripping member of the drag mechanism and the main gear slide and the handle shaft and the main gear rotate relative to each other, for example, the clutch is released, the main gear and the spool are separated, and the No sound is produced when dropping or throwing a gimmick. Therefore, in these cases, there is no problem that the falling speed of the device is reduced or the flying distance of the device is reduced.

In this case, the interference between the first sounding member and the second sounding member causes a resistance of the relative rotation between the main gear and the handle shaft. Is regulated by the drag mechanism. The magnitude of the torque for rotating the spool is adjusted by adjusting the pressing force of the pressing member by the adjusting member to change the degree of pressure contact between the holding member and the main gear.

A drag mechanism for a fishing reel according to a second aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the first aspect, wherein the second sound output member comprises:
One end has an insertion portion, the other end has a play portion, and a curved portion that curves between the insertion portion and the play portion. The support member is disposed between the holding member and the pressing member, and has a shaft support hole and a loose fitting hole. The shaft support hole is a hole that rotatably supports the insertion portion. The loose fitting hole is a hole that is engaged with the loose fitting portion with a clearance. The first sounding member is a ring-shaped member, and has a plurality of depressions on the inner peripheral surface with which the curved portion of the second sounding member intermittently abuts.

In this case, the second sound output member has one end (insertion portion) rotatably supported by a shaft support hole of the support member, and the other end (play insertion portion) having a clearance in the play insertion hole of the support member. It is engaged while holding it. Therefore, the second sound output member rotates in conjunction with the support member, but can be freely deformed to some extent with respect to the support member. The relative rotation between the main gear and the handle shaft causes the curved portion of the second sounding member to intermittently hit the concave portion of the first sounding member, thereby generating a sound. As described above, since it is attached to the support member with a certain amount of play, the sound resounds and the volume increases. This makes it easier for the angler to recognize the rotation of the spool in the line payout direction when the fish is caught.

A drag mechanism for a fishing reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the fishing mechanism according to the first aspect, wherein the second sound output member comprises:
Both ends have a first and second loose fitting portion, and a curved portion that curves between the first and second loose fitting portions. The support member is disposed between the holding member and the pressing member, and has first and second loose fitting holes. The first and second loose fitting holes are engaged with the first and second loose fitting portions with a clearance. The first sounding member is a ring-shaped member, and has a plurality of depressions on the inner peripheral surface with which the curved portion of the second sounding member intermittently abuts.

Here, the second sound output member is provided at both ends (the first sound output member).
And the second loose fitting portion) are engaged with the first and second loose fitting holes of the support member with a clearance. Therefore, the second sound output member rotates in conjunction with the support member, but can be freely deformed to some extent with respect to the support member.
The relative rotation between the main gear and the handle shaft causes the curved portion of the second sounding member to intermittently hit the concave portion of the first sounding member, thereby generating a sound. As described above, since it is attached to the support member with a certain amount of play, the sound resounds and the volume increases. This makes it easier for the angler to recognize the rotation of the spool in the line payout direction when the fish is caught.

A drag mechanism for a fishing reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the drag mechanism according to the second or third aspect, wherein the first sounding member is provided so that it can move a predetermined amount in a direction intersecting the rotation axis. The gear is engaged with a clearance. Here, since the first sounding member is attached with a certain amount of play to the main gear, when the second sounding member hits and generates a sound, the first sounding member also has a sound. Gets better and the volume goes up. This makes it easier for the angler to recognize the rotation of the spool.

A drag mechanism for a fishing reel according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to any of the second to fourth aspects, wherein the second sounding member is a spring material, and a curved portion is formed at a central portion. Both ends are bent to form pins. Here, since the second sounding member is a spring material and is easily deformed when sound is generated, the volume can be increased, and an impact on both members due to repeated contact of the first and second sounding members is reduced. It is suppressed and the durability of both members is improved.

In addition, since a simple manufacturing method in which both ends are bent is adopted, the manufacturing cost of the second sounding member is suppressed. A drag mechanism for a fishing reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention includes:
In the mechanism according to any one of the inventions 2 to 5, the first sounding member has the recessed portions at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.
Here, the dents are arranged at equal intervals, so the second
The generation of sound due to the contact between the curved portion and the concave portion of the sound output member becomes rhythmic. Then, the angler can more accurately recognize the rotation speed of the spool in the line payout direction based on the interval between the generated sounds.

A drag mechanism for a fishing reel according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, further comprising a friction member disposed between the holding member and the main gear. Here, by arranging the friction member between the holding member and the main gear, an unexpected slip between the holding member and the main gear can be suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 4, the support member 64 has a shaft support hole 64a which is a circular hole and a loose fitting hole 6 which is an oval hole.
4b are formed. The sounding pin 71 is manufactured by bending a rod-shaped spring material.
As shown in FIG. 5, both ends bent at about 90 degrees are the insertion portion 71a and the loosely inserted portion 71b, and the vicinity of the curved center is a curved portion 71c. The sound output pin 71 is rotatably supported with the insertion portion 71a fitted in the shaft support hole 71a, and the loose fitting portion 71b is fitted with a clearance in the loose fitting hole 64b. That is, the sound output pin 71 is supported with a certain amount of play with respect to the support member 64, and rotates together with the support member 64.

As shown in FIG. 3, the ring-shaped sound generating member 72 includes a ring-shaped portion having a plurality of dents 72a formed on an inner peripheral surface extending from the disk-shaped main body 72c toward the handle 2, and a disk-shaped member. It has two pin-shaped projections 72b protruding from the handle-shaped main body 72c to the side opposite to the handle 2 side. The ring-shaped sound output member 72 has two projections 72b engaged with two holes 31a provided in the main gear with a predetermined clearance therebetween, and is provided with a predetermined amount in the radial direction with respect to the main gear 31. Only movement is possible. The concave portion 72a and the curved portion 71c of the sound output pin 71 abut as shown in FIG. 4 when the both 72a and 71c are not relatively rotated. The recesses 72a are formed at equal intervals.

The first and second holding members 61 and 62, the support member 64, and the spacing member 65 cannot rotate with respect to the handle shaft 30. As shown in FIG. 3, the first holding member 61 is not movable in the axial direction with respect to the handle shaft 30. The friction material 63 includes first and second holding members 61 and 6.
2 and a main gear 31. The sound output pin 71 is moved to the second holding member 62 by the spacing member 65.
The support member 64 is disposed in a space provided between the support member 64 and the ring-shaped sound output member 72, so that interference with members other than the support member 64 and the ring-shaped sound output member 72 is suppressed. The spring 66 is disposed between the support member 64 and the bearing 45, and includes the support member 64, the spacing member 65, the second holding member 62, and the friction material 6.
3 and the main gear 31 are pressed against the first holding member 61.

By adjusting the tightness of the star drag 3, the handle shaft 30 can be moved axially with respect to the bearing 45 fixed to the second cover 7. That is, by adjusting the star drag 3, the pressing force of the spring 66 is indirectly adjusted. Next, the operation of the dual bearing reel will be described.

When winding the fishing line, the handle 2 is turned in the line winding direction. The rotation of the handle 2 is transmitted from the handle shaft 30 to the main gear 31 and the pinion 32 interlocked with the handle shaft 30 via the drag mechanism 21. The rotation of the pinion 32 is transmitted to the spool shaft 15 fitted with the pinion 32 by the clutch engagement / disengagement mechanism 19, and the spool 14 rotates to wind the fishing line. The rotation of the spool 14 is transmitted to the worm shaft 26 via the interlocking gear mechanism 50, and the rotation of the worm shaft 26 causes the line guide 27 to reciprocate along the guide cylinder 25 as described above. By this reciprocating motion, the spool 14
The fishing line is wound up evenly.

On the other hand, when paying out the fishing line, the clutch lever 40 is operated to release the clutch by the clutch engaging / disengaging mechanism 19. Thereby, the engagement between the spool shaft 15 and the pinion 32 is released, and even if the spool 14 rotates due to the feeding of the fishing line, the rotation is not transmitted to the gear mechanism 18 and the handle shaft 30. Next, drag mechanism 2
1 will be described.

When a fish is caught, tension is applied to the fishing line. As a result, a torque is applied to the spool 14 so as to rotate in the line pay-out direction. However, while the torque acting on the spool 14 is small, the main gear 31 is moved by the spring 66 through the friction material 63 to the first gear.
The main gear 31 and the handle shaft 30 cannot be rotated relative to each other. Since the handle shaft 30 is stopped by a stopper (not shown) so as not to rotate in the line pay-out direction, the spool 14 linked to the main gear 31 also does not rotate in the line pay-out direction. Here, the first and second holding members 6 are used.
Since the friction material 63 is inserted between the first and second holding members 61 and 62 and the main gear 31, the frictional material 63 is inserted between the first and second holding members 61 and 62 and the main gear 31. The amount can be increased.

When the tension on the fishing line increases and the torque on the spool 14 increases, the first and second
Slip occurs at the pressure contact portion between the holding members 61 and 62 and the main gear 31 via the friction material 63, and the main gear 31 rotates in the line payout direction while receiving the resistance of kinetic friction even when the rotation of the handle shaft 30 is stopped. I do. Thus, the spool 14 also rotates in the line payout direction. As described above, when the torque acting on the spool 14 exceeds a predetermined value, in other words, when an excessive tension is applied to the fishing line, the spool 14 rotates in the line feeding direction to protect the fishing line from a high tension.

When the spool 14 rotates in the line feeding direction as described above when the fish is caught, the drag mechanism 21 of the present embodiment generates a sound. When the handle shaft 30 and the main gear 31 rotate relative to each other, the ring-shaped sound output member 72 that rotates in conjunction with the main gear 31 and the handle shaft 3
The sound output pin 71, which rotates in conjunction with the support member 64 that cannot rotate relative to 0, interferes to generate sound. This sound is transmitted to the concave portions 72a arranged at equal intervals and the curved portions 71c.
Is a rhythmic sound because it is generated by intermittent contact. When this sound is generated, the sound output pin 71 is brought into contact with the insertion portion 7 by the contact between the concave portion 72a and the curved portion 71c.
1a rotates with respect to the shaft support hole 64a, and the loose fitting portion 71b moves and deforms the clearance with the loose fitting hole 64b. Moves and shifts in the radial direction. The sound output pin 7
1 is disposed in the axial space secured by the spacing member 65, and the ring-shaped sound producing member 72 is also a friction material 63
The sound output pin 71 and the ring-shaped sound output member 72 are not restricted in the axial direction due to the presence of I have. As described above, since the sound output pin 71 and the ring-shaped sound output member 72 are not pressed by other members, the generated sound resounds well and the volume is large. As described above, a sound is generated when the spool rotates in the line payout direction when the fish is caught, so that the angler can recognize the rotation of the spool, which is convenient for the angler. Further, since the sound output pin 71 is made of a spring material, the sound output pin 71 is easily deformed when sound is generated, so that the sound volume is higher. 71 and ring-shaped sound output member 7
2 and the durability is improved.

The magnitude of the torque for rotating the spool 14 is adjusted by adjusting the pressing force of the spring 66 in accordance with the degree of tightening of the star drag 3, thereby changing the degree of clamping of the main gear 31. [Embodiment 2] In the drag mechanism 21 of Embodiment 1,
As shown in FIG. 5, a support member 84 is used instead of the support member 64.
May be adopted.

Here, the restrained state of the sounding pin 71 on the support member 84 is gentler than the restrained state of the sounding pin 71 on the support member 64 in the first embodiment, and the sound and volume of the sound generated by the sounding pin 71 are improved. I do.
