DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a level reel mechanism for a fishing reel for evenly winding a fishing line around a spool mounted on a reel body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a fishing reel is provided with a level wind mechanism for uniformly winding a fishing line on a spool while displacing the fishing line in an axial direction. For example, in a dual-bearing reel, a moving body including a line guide is reciprocated in a spool axial direction by a level wind mechanism in conjunction with rotation of a spool. The level wind mechanism of this dual-bearing reel has a screw shaft that is arranged in parallel with the spool and has a spiral groove that crosses the outer peripheral surface, and an engagement portion that engages with the screw shaft and has a line guide mounted thereon. It has a body and a rotation transmitting mechanism for rotating the screw shaft in conjunction with a spool or a master gear.

[0003]

In order to make the winding of the fishing line dense by the above-described level wind mechanism, that is, to wind the fishing line evenly, the width of the line guide portion provided in the line guide (in the spool axial direction) Must be reduced as much as possible. If the width of the line guide is wide, the fishing line moves left and right in the line guide, and the line winding shape is broken.

On the other hand, when the width of the line guide is reduced, a locally large portion, such as a knot of a fishing line, is caught by the line guide, so that the line cannot be fed and wound smoothly. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a level wind mechanism capable of smoothly feeding and winding a fishing line and improving the uniformity of winding the fishing line around a spool.

[0005]

A level wind mechanism for a fishing reel according to a first aspect of the present invention is a mechanism for uniformly winding a fishing line around a spool mounted on a reel body, and includes a first member, a moving body, , A line guide body. The first member is supported by the reel body, and extends in a direction substantially along the rotation axis of the spool. The moving body reciprocates along the first member. The line guide body has a regulating part supported by the moving body. The restricting portions are disposed on both sides of the path through which the fishing line passes, and restrict the movement of the fishing line in a direction along the rotation axis of the spool. In addition, the interval between the regulating portions arranged with the fishing line in between,
It is larger than the interval in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool of the regulating portion that is disposed with the fishing line interposed therebetween.

When the fishing line is wound around the spool, the moving body is reciprocated along the first member, that is, along the rotation axis of the spool, so that the winding manner of the fishing line around the spool becomes uniform. At this time, the fishing line passes between the regulating portions of the line guide body supported by the moving body. Here, the interval between the restricting portions disposed with the fishing line interposed therebetween is larger than the interval in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool of the restricting portion disposed with the fishing line interposed therebetween.

If the distance between the restricting portions disposed with the fishing line in between is equal to the distance between the restricting portions disposed with the fishing line in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool, the knot of the fishing line passes through. It is necessary to increase the distance between the restriction portions disposed with the fishing line between them, so that the fishing line moves left and right (in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool) between the restriction portions during winding of the line. As a result, the winding of the fishing line becomes rough.

In this case, since the distance between the restricting portions disposed with the fishing line interposed therebetween is larger than the distance between the restricting portions disposed with the fishing line interposed along the rotation axis of the spool, the restricting portion is provided with the spool. Even if the distance between the restriction parts is not less than the size of the knot of the fishing line in the direction along the rotation axis of the fishing line, the knot of the fishing line can smoothly pass between the restriction parts Can be. Accordingly, when the fishing line is wound, the fishing line is prevented from moving left and right between the two restriction portions, and the uniformity of the winding of the fishing line on the spool can be improved.

A level wind mechanism for a fishing reel according to a second aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the first aspect, wherein the regulating portions of the line guide body are at least two line guide rods that are offset from each other in the longitudinal direction of the fishing line. When the fishing line is wound around the spool, the moving body is reciprocated along the first member, that is, along the rotation axis of the spool, so that the winding manner of the fishing line around the spool becomes uniform.
At this time, the fishing line passes between two or more line guide rods which are regulating portions of the line guide body supported by the moving body. Here, the line guide rods are shifted from each other in the longitudinal direction of the fishing line.

If the two line guide rods are located at the same position in the longitudinal direction of the fishing line with the fishing line interposed therebetween, the gap between the line guide rods must be increased to some extent so that the knot of the fishing line passes. In other words, the fishing line moves left and right (in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool) between the two line guide rods when winding the line. As a result, the winding of the fishing line becomes rough.

In this case, since the line guide rods are shifted from each other in the longitudinal direction of the fishing line, even if the line guide rods are not separated from each other by more than a dimension such as the knot of the fishing line in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool, the line guide rods are shifted. If the distance between them is equal to or greater than the size of the knot of the fishing line, the knot of the fishing line can smoothly pass between the line guide bars. That is, by shifting the line guide rods in the longitudinal direction of the fishing line, the dimension between the line guide rods in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool can be made small or zero. Thus, when the fishing line is wound, the fishing line is prevented from moving left and right between the two line guide rods, and the uniformity of the winding of the fishing line on the spool can be improved.

A level reel mechanism for a fishing reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the second aspect, wherein at least three line guide bars are provided and are alternately arranged with respect to the fishing line. Here, since three or more line guide bars are alternately arranged with respect to the fishing line, it is difficult for the fishing line to move left and right even when the tension of the fishing line changes. For this reason, the uniformity of the winding of the fishing line is further improved.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the level reel mechanism for a fishing reel according to the second or third aspect, the distance between the respective line guide rods is at least twice the diameter of the fishing line used. Here, since the distance between the respective line guide rods is twice or more the diameter of the fishing line used, a locally large portion such as a knot of the fishing line at the time of winding the line smoothly passes between the line guide rods. Pass.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the level wind mechanism for a fishing reel according to the second or third aspect, a distance between adjacent line guide bars is larger than a knot of a fishing line used. Here, the distance between adjacent line guide bars is larger than the knot of the fishing line used,
When winding the line, the knot of the fishing line passes smoothly between the line guide rods.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the level reel mechanism for a fishing reel according to any one of the second to fifth aspects, the distance between the adjacent line guide rods along the rotation axis of the spool is generally used. Equal to the fishing line diameter. If the distance between the adjacent line guide rods along the rotation axis of the spool is larger than the diameter of the fishing line used, the fishing line will move left and right between the line guide rods, resulting in a rough winding of the fishing line. I will. If the distance between the adjacent line guide rods along the rotation axis of the spool is smaller than the diameter of the used fishing line, a force is applied to the fishing line from the line guide rod, and the line guide rod and the fishing line The friction between the fishing line and the fishing line is increased due to increased friction therebetween.

Here, since the distance between the adjacent line guide rods along the rotation axis of the spool is set substantially equal to the diameter of the fishing line used, the above-described disadvantages are suppressed, and the winding of the fishing line is suppressed. The resistance at the time of picking and feeding is reduced, and the fishing line is wound densely. The level wind mechanism of the fishing reel according to the seventh aspect is the same as that of the second to sixth aspects.
In each of the above-mentioned mechanisms, each line guide bar extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fishing line.

Here, since the line guide rod extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fishing line, the contact area between the line guide rod and the fishing line is small. Thereby, the resistance at the time of winding the yarn is reduced. The level wind mechanism for a fishing reel according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the first aspect, wherein the line guide body is a line guide that is inclined with respect to a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis of the spool.
When the fishing line is wound around the spool, the moving body is reciprocated along the first member, that is, substantially along the rotation axis of the spool, so that the winding manner of the fishing line around the spool becomes uniform. At this time, the fishing line is guided and wound by a line guide supported by the moving body. Here, the line guide is inclined with respect to a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis of the spool.

If the line guide is not inclined with respect to the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the spool, the fishing line moves left and right when passing through the line guide, and the winding of the fishing line becomes rough. Here, since the line guide is inclined with respect to a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis of the spool, the position where the fishing line enters the line guide and the position where the fishing line exits the line guide are shifted in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool. ing. For this reason, when the fishing line is under tension, such as when winding the line, the position where the fishing line comes out of the line guide is stabilized. Accordingly, when the fishing line is wound, the line is prevented from moving left and right by the line guide, and the uniformity of the winding of the fishing line on the spool is improved.

The restricting portions in the present invention are portions of the line guide on both sides in the direction along the rotation axis of the fishing line spool, and the line guide is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the spool. Therefore, the distance between the restricting portions disposed with the fishing line in between is larger than the distance between the restricting portions disposed with the fishing line in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool.

A level reel mechanism for a fishing reel according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is the mechanism according to the eighth aspect, wherein the line guide has a cylindrical hollow portion or a groove. The longitudinal direction of the cylindrical hollow portion or groove is inclined with respect to a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis of the spool. Here, since the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical cavity or the groove is set so as to be inclined with respect to a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis of the spool, the space through which the fishing line passes in the cylindrical cavity or the groove is limited, It is possible to prevent the fishing line from moving left and right in the cylindrical hollow portion or the groove, so that the winding of the fishing line on the spool becomes rough. Further, by inclining the space, the space in the cylindrical hollow portion or the groove through which the fishing line passes can be limited, and the space through which the knot or the like can pass can be secured in the cylindrical hollow portion or the groove.

That is, by inclining a cylindrical hollow portion or a groove having a space through which a knot of a fishing line can pass through with respect to a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the spool, a portion of a normal fishing line other than the knot or the like can be used as a line guide. When passing through, the space through which the fishing line passes can be limited to a predetermined space out of the space in the cylindrical hollow portion or the groove. Thereby, the horizontal movement of the fishing line in the cylindrical hollow portion or the groove can be suppressed, and the winding can be made dense.

A tenth aspect of the present invention provides the level reel mechanism for a fishing reel according to the ninth aspect, wherein the cylindrical hollow portion of the line guide has a cross section larger than a knot of a fishing line used. Here, since the cross section of the cylindrical hollow portion is larger than the knot of the fishing line, the knot of the fishing line can smoothly pass through the cylindrical hollow portion at the time of winding the line.

The cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical hollow portion is not only a circle,
Although an ellipse, an ellipse, and the like are conceivable, other cross-sectional shapes may be used as long as the cross-section is larger than the size of the knot of the fishing line. An eleventh aspect of the present invention provides the level reel mechanism for a fishing reel according to the ninth aspect, wherein the groove of the line guide has a width larger than a size of a knot of a fishing line used.

Here, since the width of the groove is larger than the knot of the fishing line, the knot of the fishing line can smoothly pass through the groove when winding the line. A level wind mechanism for a fishing reel according to a twelfth aspect is the mechanism according to the eighth aspect, wherein the line guide has a rotating body that comes into contact with the fishing line. The rotation axis of the rotating body of the line guide and the rotation axis of the spool have a predetermined angle.

Here, since the rotating body rotates, the winding and unwinding of the fishing line is performed smoothly. And, since the rotation axis of the rotating body has a predetermined angle with respect to the rotation axis of the spool, when the fishing line is wound on the spool while contacting the rotating body, the fishing line is on a surface orthogonal to the rotation axis of the spool. On the other hand, the fishing line is temporarily inclined.
At this time, since the fishing line receives a force from the contact portion with the rotating body, it is possible to suppress a problem that the fishing line moves right and left when passing through the line guide and the winding is rough.

According to a thirteenth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a level reel mechanism for a fishing reel according to any one of the first to twelfth aspects, wherein the longitudinal length of the fishing line extends from the rear end of the line guide to the spool and the outermost periphery of the spool. The distance along the direction
33% or less of the diameter of the spool. Here, since the distance between the line guide body and the line winding surface wound on the spool is reduced, the movement (blur) of the fishing line along the rotation axis of the spool between the line guide body and the line winding surface is reduced, and Disturbance in how to wind the fishing line is reduced.

The moving mechanism 82 includes a screw shaft (first member) 84 disposed in front of the spool shaft 75, a moving body 78 that moves along the screw shaft 84, and a guide cylinder 85 that guides the moving body 78. have. The screw shaft 84 is arranged in parallel with the spool shaft 75, and is rotatably supported by both side plates 67a and 67b. A spiral intersecting groove 84a is formed on the outer periphery of the screw shaft 84.

As shown in FIG. 3, the moving body 78 includes a guide body 86, an engaging member 87 disposed at a lower portion of the guide body 86 so as to be orthogonal to the screw shaft 84, and an upper portion of the guide body 86.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the line guide rods 11 to 13 are perpendicular to the line unwinding direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 3) from the guide body 86 (vertical direction in FIG. 3).
Extends to. These line guide rods 11 to 13
The fishing lines L are arranged so as to be shifted from each other in the longitudinal direction of the fishing line L (vertical direction in FIG. 4). Line guide rod 1
1 to 13 are alternately arranged on the left and right with respect to the fishing line L.

Line guide rod 11 and line guide rod 12
And the distance between the line guide rod 12 and the line guide rod 1
3 is set to be at least twice the line diameter D1 of the fishing line L. The distance between the line guide bar 11 and the line guide bar 12 and the distance between the line guide bar 12 and the line guide bar 13 are larger than the knot Lm of the fishing line L, as shown in FIG. Further, the line guide rod 11
Axis O1-
The distance along O1 (the distance in the left-right direction in FIG. 4) and the spool 70 between the line guide rods 12 and 13
Along the rotation axis O1-O1 is the line diameter D of the fishing line L.
It is almost equal to 1 (see FIG. 4).

The fishing line L has the largest diameter among the fishing lines used in the dual bearing reel of this embodiment. The upper end surfaces of the line guide rods 11 to 13 are joined to the flat plate 14. The second rotation transmission mechanism 83
The driving mechanism 82 is provided inside the first side cover 68a. The second rotation transmission mechanism 83 includes a first gear 95 fixed to the other end of the spool shaft 75 and a first side plate 6.
An intermediate gear 96 rotatably mounted on the gear 7a and meshing with the first gear 95, and a second gear 97 fixed to one end of the level wind mechanism 71 and meshing with the intermediate gear 96 are provided.
The intermediate gear 96 has two large and small gears arranged side by side in the axial direction. The large gear of the intermediate gear 96 meshes with the first gear 95, and the small gear of the intermediate gear 96 is the second gear 9.
7 is engaged.

[Reel Operation and Operation] In this dual-bearing reel, at the time of line feeding, the clutch lever 81 is pushed downward to turn off the clutch mechanism 81 and rotate the spool 70 freely. Then, the fishing line is paid out from the spool 70 by the weight of the device, and the display of the water depth on the display unit 65 is increased in accordance with the amount of feeding. When it is confirmed by the display on the display unit 65 that the device has reached the predetermined water depth, the clutch mechanism 81 is turned on by operating the return lever 74 or operating the handle 62 in the line winding direction. As a result, the rotation of the spool 70 stops and the spool 7
The feeding of the fishing line from 0 stops. At the time of this line feeding, the rotation of the spool 70 is transmitted to the level wind mechanism 71 via the second rotation transmission mechanism 83, and the moving body 78 reciprocates along the spool 70.

At the time of winding the fishing line, the clutch mechanism 8
When the handle 62 is rotated in the line winding direction in a state where 1 is turned on, this rotational force is transmitted to the pinion gear 93 via the handle shaft 90 and the main gear 92, the spool shaft 75 is rotated, and the spool 70 is wound. Rotate in the direction. On the other hand, when the spool shaft 75 rotates, the first gear 9
5, spool shaft 7 via intermediate gear 96 and second gear 97
5 is transmitted to the screw shaft 84, and the screw shaft 84 rotates.
As a result, the moving body 78 meshing with the groove 84a of the screw shaft 84 is guided by the guide cylinder 85 and moves in the spool axial direction.
Then, the fishing line guided by the line guide rods 11 to 13 is wound around the spool 70 while being slightly shifted with respect to one rotation of the spool 70.

In this embodiment, the line guide rods 11 to 1
3 are shifted in the front-rear direction, so that the line guide rods 11 to 13 are separated from each other in the left-right direction by less than the size of the knot Lm of the fishing line L, and between the line guide rods 11 and 12 and the line. The distance between the guide rods 12 and 13 is larger than the size of the knot Lm of the fishing line L. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, the part of the normal fishing line L (the part other than the knot Lm) is connected to the line guide rods 11 to 13.
The fishing line L is less likely to move left and right when passing through the gap. For this reason, the way of winding the fishing line around the spool 70 becomes dense.

On the other hand, when the knot Lm of the fishing line L comes between the line guide rods 11 to 13, as shown in FIG. 5, the knot Lm is inclined between the line guide rods 11 and 12 and between the line guide rods 12 and 13. Pass through. At this time, since the distance between the line guide rods 11 and 12 and the distance between the line guide rods 12 and 13 are larger than the size of the knot Lm of the fishing line L, the knot Lm is not easily caught by the line guide rods 11 to 13. That is, the fishing line is smoothly wound.

Further, since the three line guide rods 11 to 13 are alternately arranged with respect to the fishing line, it is difficult for the fishing line to move left and right even if the tension of the fishing line changes. Since the line guide rods 11 to 13 extend in a direction perpendicular to the line payout direction, in other words, in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fishing line, the contact area between the line guide rods 11 to 13 and the fishing line is small. , The resistance when winding the yarn is small.

The form of the dual-bearing reel is not limited to the above embodiment, but may be any type having a lever drag mechanism or a level wind mechanism such as an electrically driven electric reel. A simple double bearing reel may be used. [Other Examples] In the above embodiment, the fishing line is guided by the line guide rods 11 to 13 arranged as shown in FIG. 4, but instead of these, the line guide rods 21 to 23 shown in FIG. The fishing line can be guided by the line guide rods 31 and 32 shown in FIG.

The line guide rods 21 to 23 shown in FIG.
The dual bearing reels are located at substantially the same position in the left-right direction, and are shifted in the front-rear direction (longitudinal direction of the fishing line).
Further, the line guide rods 21 to 23 are alternately arranged on the left and right with respect to the fishing line L. Line guide rod 21
And the distance between the line guide rod 22 and the line guide rod 2
The distance between the fishing line L and the line guide rod 23 is the diameter D of the fishing line L.
It is set to be at least twice as large as 1 and larger than the size of the knot of the fishing line L. The upper end surfaces of the line guide rods 21 to 23 are joined to the flat plate 14.

Also in this case, since the line guide bars 21 to 23 are displaced in the front-rear direction, the line guide bars 2
The distance between the lines 1 and 22 and the distance between the line guide bars 22 and 23 are larger than the size of the knot of the fishing line L. This allows
The knot can pass obliquely between the line guide rods 21 and 22 and between the line guide rods 22 and 23, and the knot is hardly caught on the line guide rods 21 to 23.

On the other hand, the fishing line is
Since the force is received from both right and left sides by 3, it is difficult to move left and right when passing between the line guide bars 21 to 23. For this reason, the way of winding the fishing line around the spool 70 becomes dense. The line guide rods 31 and 32 shown in FIG. 7 extend from the guide body 86 in a direction perpendicular to the line payout direction. These line guide rods 31 and 32 are displaced from each other in the longitudinal direction of the fishing line L (the vertical direction in FIG. 7). Also,
The line guide rods 31 and 32 are alternately arranged left and right with respect to the fishing line L.

Line guide rod 31 and line guide rod 32
Is set to approximately twice the line diameter D1 of the fishing line L, and is larger than the size of the knot of the fishing line L. Further, the distance (the left-right distance in FIG. 7) of the spool 70 between the line guide rod 31 and the line guide rod 32 along the rotation axis O1-O1 is substantially equal to the line diameter D1 of the fishing line L (see FIG. 7). .

Also in this case, since the line guide rods 31 and 32 are displaced in the front-rear direction, the line guide rods 3
Despite the fact that the distances 1 and 32 are less than the size of the knot of the fishing line L in the left-right direction, the line guide rods 31
The distance S between the lines 32 is larger than the size of the knot of the fishing line L. Thus, when the normal fishing line L portion (the portion other than the knot) passes between the line guide rods 31 and 32, the fishing line L is less likely to move left and right. For this reason, the way of winding the fishing line around the spool 70 becomes dense. On the other hand, the knot of the fishing line L is
When it comes between the two, the knot passes diagonally between the line guide rods 31,32. At this time, the line guide rods 31 and 3
Since the distance S between the two is larger than the size of the knot of the fishing line L, the knot is hardly caught on the line guide rods 31 and 32. That is, the fishing line is smoothly wound.

[Embodiment 2] FIG. 8 shows a dual bearing reel provided with a level wind mechanism 71 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, the same or similar members as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. [Overall configuration] is the same as in the first embodiment.

[Structure of Level Winding Mechanism] The level winding mechanism includes a moving body 7 disposed in front of the spool 70.
8 is a mechanism for moving the spool 8 in the spool axis direction. The moving mechanism 82 and the second rotation transmission mechanism 83 included in the level wind mechanism are the level wind mechanism 7 of the first embodiment.
1 is similar to the moving mechanism 82 and the second rotation transmitting mechanism 83 included in the first rotation transmitting mechanism 83.

As shown in FIG. 8, the moving body 78 includes a guide main body 86, an engaging member 87 disposed below the guide main body 86 so as to be orthogonal to the screw shaft 84, and an movable member 78 disposed above the guide main body 86. Line roller assembly (line guide)
111. A screw shaft 84 penetrates a central portion of the guide main body 86, and a guide cylinder 85 penetrates therearound. The guide cylinder 85 is a U-shaped cylindrical body whose lower part is open, and is arranged between the side plates 67a and 67b so as to surround the screw shaft 84 at the center. The upper end of the engagement member 87 is a screw shaft 84
In the groove 84a.

The line roller assembly 111 includes a line roller 112 having a circumferential groove 112a having a rectangular cross section for guiding a fishing line on a peripheral surface thereof, and a line roller 112 rotatably mounted on an upper portion of a guide body 86 via a bearing 113a. And a roller support member 113 to be mounted. The groove width of the circumferential groove 112a shown in FIG. 9 is set to approximately twice the diameter of the largest fishing line used. As shown in FIG. 9, the rotation axis O2-O2 of the line roller 112 is inclined with respect to the guide cylinder 85 extending parallel to the rotation axis O1-O1 of the spool 70. That is, the rotation axis O2-O2 of the line roller 112 and the rotation axis O1-O1 of the spool 70 have a predetermined angle.

The line roller 112 is connected to the rotation axis O1-O1 of the spool 70.
Are inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to. Therefore, the position where the fishing line enters the line roller 112 and the position where the fishing line exits the line roller 112 are shifted in the direction along the spool axis (the left-right direction in FIG. 9). Therefore, in a state where the fishing line is under tension, such as when winding the line, the fishing line receives a force from a portion in contact with the line roller 112, so that the position where the fishing line comes out from the line roller 112 is stabilized. Accordingly, when the line is wound, the line roller 112 is prevented from moving left and right, and the uniformity of the winding of the line around the spool 70 is improved. Further, even when the fishing line does not receive a force from the contact portion with the line roller 112, the space in which the fishing line can freely move left and right in the circumferential groove 112a is narrowed, so that the uniformity of the winding of the fishing line around the spool 70 is improved. .

On the other hand, the knot of the fishing line is
In the case of entering 2, the groove width of the circumferential groove 112a is set to about twice the line diameter of the fishing line and is larger than the knot,
The knot passes smoothly. Thereby, the yarn winding becomes smooth. In addition, since the line roller 112 rotates, the winding and unwinding of the fishing line is performed smoothly.

[Third Embodiment] FIG. 10 shows a dual bearing reel provided with a level wind mechanism 71 according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, the same or similar members as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[Overall configuration] is the same as that of the above-described first embodiment, but as shown in FIG.
The outer diameter of Ob is dimension D2.

[Structure of Level Winding Mechanism] The level winding mechanism comprises a moving body 7 disposed in front of the spool 70.
8 is a mechanism for moving the spool 8 in the spool axis direction. The moving mechanism 82 and the second rotation transmission mechanism 83 included in the level wind mechanism are the level wind mechanism 7 of the first embodiment.
1 is similar to the moving mechanism 82 and the second rotation transmitting mechanism 83 included in the first rotation transmitting mechanism 83.

As shown in FIG. 10, the moving body 78 has a guide body (line guide) 86 and an engaging member 87 arranged below the guide body 86 so as to be orthogonal to the screw shaft 84. I have. A screw shaft 84 penetrates a central portion of the guide main body 86, and a guide cylinder 85 penetrates therearound.
The guide cylinder 85 is a U-shaped cylindrical body whose lower part is open, and is arranged between the side plates 67a and 67b so as to surround the screw shaft 84 at the center. The upper end of the engaging member 87 is engaged with the groove 84 a of the screw shaft 84. This guide body 86 is similar to that shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the rear end of the spool 70 is closer to the spool 70 than in the prior art when viewed in the vertical section, and the rear end of the guide body 86 and the spool 7 when viewed in the vertical section.
The distance G to the outer peripheral end of the flange portion 70b which is the outermost peripheral portion of 0 is about 15% of the diameter D2 of the flange portion 70b of the spool 70. This value may be any value as long as it is 33% or less.

A cylindrical hollow portion 131 penetrating back and forth is formed in an upper portion (a portion on the display portion 65 side) of the guide main body 86. As shown in FIG. 11, the longitudinal direction (the direction of penetration) of the cylindrical hollow portion 131 corresponds to the rotation axis O of the spool 70.
It inclines with respect to the guide cylinder 85 parallel to 1-O1.
That is, the cylindrical hollow portion 131 is inclined with respect to a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis O1-O1 of the spool 70. Also,
The cylindrical hollow portion 131 has an elliptical cylindrical shape, and its width (the width in the left-right direction in FIG. 11) is larger than the size of the knot of the fishing line L.

[Reel operation and operation] is the same as in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, since the cylindrical hollow portion 131 is set so as to be inclined with respect to a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis O1-O1 of the spool 70, the space through which the fishing line in the cylindrical hollow portion 131 passes is limited. In addition, the fishing line moves left and right in the cylindrical hollow portion 131, and disturbance of winding of the fishing line is suppressed. On the other hand, since the width of the cylindrical hollow portion 131 is larger than the size of the knot of the fishing line L, the knot passes through the cylindrical hollow portion 131 without being caught. Thereby, the winding of the thread is smooth.

Here, the rear end of the guide body 86 and the flange 70 b of the spool 70 when viewed in a vertical section are shown.
The distance G to the outer peripheral end of the
The guide main body 86 and the spool 70 are made closer to each other so that the diameter becomes approximately 33% or less of the diameter D2 of b.
Therefore, the guide body 86 and the line winding surface of the fishing line wound on the spool 70 come closer to each other, so that the deviation of the fishing line between the two is reduced, and the disturbance of the winding of the fishing line is further reduced.

Instead of providing the cylindrical hollow portion 131 in the upper part of the guide main body 86, the longitudinal direction is the rotation axis O1-O1.
The same effect can be obtained by providing a fishing line guide groove that is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the plane.

According to the present invention, the distance between the restricting portions disposed with the fishing line interposed therebetween is made larger than the distance between the restricting portions disposed with the fishing line disposed therebetween in the direction along the rotation axis of the spool. If the distance between the restricting parts is not less than the dimension of the fishing line knot, etc. in the direction along the axis of rotation of the spool, but the distance between the restricting parts is greater than the dimension of the fishing line knot, the knot of the fishing line smoothly moves between the restricting parts. You can pass. Accordingly, when the fishing line is wound, the fishing line is prevented from moving left and right between the regulating portions, and the uniformity of the winding of the fishing line on the spool can be improved.
