Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dual-bearing reel for fishing, and more particularly, to a dual-bearing reel used for trolling aiming at a large fish or fishing a boat aiming at a fish in a deep place.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, dual-bearing reels have been used in various types of fishing, such as for trolling, boat fishing, surf fishing, and lure fishing. It is especially indispensable for trolling for big fish and boat fishing for deep-sea fish.

First, in trolling, a gimmick is thrown into the sea in a state where drag force is loosened, and in this state, a ship is moved forward and a fish hits while waiting for a gimmick. Then, when the fish is hooked, the fishing line wound on the spool is pulled out by the fish and paid out. The spool is rotated by the feeding of the fishing line. At this time, a moderation is imparted to the rotation of the spool when the fishing line is paid out, and a click sound is generated by the click mechanism to confirm the hit of the fish. Also, in boat fishing, a fish finder or the like is used to check the distance to the place where the fish is located and drop the gimmick, so that the reel detects the number of rotations of the spool and calculates the payout length of the fishing line and the calculated value. A length measuring device for displaying the result on an LCD or the like is provided. The length meter is electrically displayed by a built-in battery.

However, in the case of trolling, the above-mentioned dual-bearing reel waits for a hit while moving the ship, so that the click sound for confirming the hit by the sound of the engine or the wind of the ship is masked and cannot be heard, and the hit of the fish is missed. Sometimes, he couldn't catch the fish that had been hanging. For this reason, it is conceivable that a strong click mechanism is used to increase the click sound, and a large moderation is imparted to the rotation of the spool when the fishing line is fed, but if this moderation is too large, the resistance acting on the rotation of the spool increases. It is not preferable because the rotation of the spool is hindered. Also, in case of boat fishing,
The size of the battery that can be built into the length meter uses a battery with a limited capacity due to the unit, so during the fishing, the battery of the length meter suddenly cuts off and the display of the length meter disappears In some cases, it was not possible to confirm the payout length of the fishing line.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

According to the above configuration, the double-bearing reel of the present invention is preferably used mainly for trolling. The power switch is turned on and the device flows underwater. When the fish is hooked on the device, the fishing line wound on the spool is pulled out by the fish, and the spool is rotated. And the rotation of the spool is transmitted to the generator via the rotation transmission means,
The display means indicates the hit by the electricity generated by the generator. After confirming the hit display, the power switch is turned off to start actual fishing.

[0007] The generator may be any generator that generates electricity by rotating a rotating shaft, and more specifically, a dynamo that turns on a bicycle light. The rotation transmitting means for transmitting the rotation of the spool or the spool shaft to the generator can be specifically achieved by connecting the rotation shaft of the generator to the spool or the spool shaft by a gear, a belt, or the like. The display means for displaying the hit of the fish is
Specifically, it can be achieved by a device that is displayed audibly by sound such as a buzzer or a chime, or a device that is visually displayed by light such as a light emitting diode or a light bulb. It is also optional to use both. Further, when the sound is displayed by sound, it is more effective if the sound is set to a sound quality and volume that can be heard among engine sounds and wind sounds, or to a continuous sound or an intermittent sound.

A storage battery electrically connected between the generator and the power switch and capable of charging the electricity generated by the generator is provided. (Claim 2) According to the above configuration, the double bearing reel of the present invention is preferably provided with a length measuring device mainly used for fishing on a boat, and measures the distance to a place where a fish is detected by a fish finder or the like. Match the distance displayed on the long total and drop the device. When the device is dropped, the fishing line is paid out and the spool rotates. Then, the rotation of the spool is transmitted to the generator via the rotation transmitting means, and the electricity generated by the generator is charged in the storage battery. Note that an ON / OFF switch for preventing overcharging of the storage battery may be provided between the generator and the storage battery.

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained by the above configuration. Since the hit display is performed by the electricity generated by the rotation of the spool or the spool shaft due to the feeding of the fishing line, the hit display can be reliably displayed without hindering the rotation of the spool or the spool shaft as in the conventional one. Further, since the storage battery is sequentially charged each time the spool is rotated, the battery can be used continuously for a long period of time without suddenly running out of the battery unlike the conventional one. Therefore, it is possible to provide a dual-bearing reel that can solve the problems of the conventional device, such as escaping a fish that has missed a fish hit and making the length measuring device unusable.
