Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel capable of attaching a side plate to a frame of a reel body without play.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a frame constituting a reel body of a fishing reel has, on one side thereof, a side plate for accommodating a bearing for supporting a spool shaft, a sound generating mechanism or a braking mechanism, and the like. I have.

As a method of attaching the side plate, for example, besides a method of fastening the side plate to one side of the frame with a screw, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 56-66263,
There is known a method of screwing a side plate to an outer periphery of one side of a frame via a ring.

The ring disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 56-66263 has a threaded portion formed on one side of the inner peripheral surface thereof, which can be screwed to the outer periphery of the frame. A locking portion capable of locking the side plate is formed. And by screwing one side of the ring to the outer periphery of the frame,
The side plate is attached to the frame by pressure bonding via the ring.

[0005]

However, in the method of mounting the side plate disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 56-66263, the mounting state of the side plate (that is, the crimped state) is adjusted only by the amount of tightening of the ring to the frame. Therefore, for example, when the ring is tightly tightened during the screwing process of the ring and cannot be further tightened, the tightened state of the ring is insufficient, and the crimping state of the side plate to the frame is poor. Become. In this case, the side plate cannot be attached to the frame without rattling.

If the state of attachment of the side plate is adjusted only by the amount of tightening of the ring, if the ring fastened to the frame suddenly becomes loose due to repeated gripping and holding of the reel body during fishing operation, for example, In this case, since the side plate is largely loosened, gripping and holding performance is deteriorated, and fishing operability is reduced.

Further, in order to ensure sufficient tightening of the ring with respect to the frame, due to its structure,
A certain amount of clearance is required in the direction in which the ring and the frame and the side plate and the frame are crimped. However, if there is no gap between the ring and the frame, play is likely to occur on the side plate with respect to the frame. On the other hand, if the gap between the side plate and the frame is eliminated, a gap is formed between the ring and the frame. In such a case, the user feels uncomfortable, and the holding and holding properties are reduced.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel capable of attaching a side plate to a frame of a reel body without play. It is in.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a fishing reel of the present invention comprises a frame, side plates disposed on both sides of the frame, and at least one of the side plates attached to the frame. A ring-shaped member for detachably attaching the ring-shaped member to the frame, mounting means for detachably attaching the ring-shaped member to the frame, and at least one of gaps between the frame, the side plate, and the ring-shaped member. An elastic member interposed in the gap.

Let it. At this time, as the fishing line guide member reciprocates, the fishing line is wound around the spool 7 evenly.

Hereinafter, a description will be given of an attachment mechanism for detachably attaching at least one of the left and right side plates 3a and 3b to the side portions of the left and right frames 2a and 2b. The attachment mechanism applied to the present embodiment includes left and right ring-shaped members 40a and 40b that can be attached to at least one of the left and right side plates 3a and 3b in a free rotation state,
a, 40b are attached to the left and right frames 2a, 2b so as to be detachable.

The left and right ring-shaped members 40a, 40b are mounted on the left and right frames 2a, 2b via the mounting means, from the outer peripheral surfaces of the left and right frames 2a, 2b via the outer peripheral surfaces of the left and right ring-shaped members 40a, 40b. Left right plate 3
A substantially curved outer peripheral surface is provided so that a protrusion or a stepped portion is not formed over the outer peripheral surfaces of the a and 3b (that is, the entire surface of the reel body 1 exhibits a smooth sense of unity). doing. The left and right ring-shaped members 40a, 40b
The specific shape of the outer peripheral surface will be described later.

In this embodiment, the right side plate 3b is attached to the right frame 2b by, for example, screws 42, screws, fittings, etc.
Ob can be attached to the right frame 2b by, for example, screwing, fitting, or cam stopper (see FIG. 7) described later. In addition, screw 4
In the case of two stops, the screw 42 is connected to the right ring-shaped member 40.
Since the reel body 1 can be concealed, the appearance of the reel body 1 is not spoiled.

In the present embodiment, as a means for attaching the left ring-shaped member 40a to the left side plate 3a in a freely rotating state, a substantially C-shaped elastically fittable member can be fitted to the left side plate 3a.
A letter-shaped retaining ring 44 is applied.

A receiving portion 46 for supporting the left ring-shaped member 40a in a freely rotatable manner is formed on an outer peripheral portion of the left side plate 3a. The receiving portion 46 is provided at a position facing the left ring-shaped member 40a. Fitting groove 4 into which retaining ring 44 fits
8 are formed. In the left ring-shaped member 40a, a clearance groove 50 is formed at a position facing the fitting groove 48 (particularly, see FIG. 2).

Here, a method of supporting the left ring-shaped member 40a on the left side plate 3a via the retaining ring 44 so as to be free from rotation will be described. First, the retaining ring 44 is elastically deformed and expanded by a jig (not shown) so that the retaining ring 44 faces the inside of the escape groove 50 of the left ring-shaped member 40a. While maintaining this state, the left ring-shaped member 40a is slid along the receiving portion 46 of the left side plate 3a by the jig. Immediately before the left ring-shaped member 40a is completely positioned on the receiving portion 46 of the left side plate 3a, the jig is pulled out at a predetermined timing, and at the same time, the left ring-shaped member 40a is completely removed from the receiving portion of the left side plate 3a. Position on 46. At this time, the retaining ring 44 contracts due to its elastic force and fits into the fitting groove 48 of the receiving portion 46.

Since the fitting groove 48 is formed at a depth smaller than the diameter of the retaining ring 44 when fitted in the fitting groove 48, the left ring-shaped member 40 a is separated from the fitting groove 48. The movable range is limited by the retaining ring 44 that is partially projected, and the retaining ring 44 does not come off the receiving portion 46. Then, in this state, the left ring-shaped member 40a is supported in a free rotation state with respect to the receiving portion 46 of the left side plate 3a (see FIG. 2).

Next, a description will be given of mounting means for detachably mounting the left ring-shaped member 40a to the side of the left frame 2a. In the present embodiment, as an example of the attachment means, for example, a male screw portion 52 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the side portion of the left frame 2a and a side portion of the left ring-shaped member 40a (opposing the side portion of the left frame 2a) ) Is applied to the female screw portion 54 formed in the (portion) portion.

According to such an attaching means, the female screw 5
4 is screwed into the male screw portion 52 to form the left ring-shaped member 40a.
Is screwed (tightened) to the left frame 2a, whereby the left side plate 3a can be attached to the left frame 2a via the left ring-shaped member 40a.

In this case, the male screw 52 of the left frame 2a
Rather than being formed continuously along the outer peripheral surface of the side of the left frame 2a, for example, as shown in FIG.
Is preferably divided into a plurality (that is, two).

When the male screw portion 52 is divided as described above, the male screw portion 52 itself can be elastically deformable. Therefore, when the female screw portion 54 of the left ring-shaped member 40a is screwed into the male screw portion 52, Due to the elastic action of the male screw part 52, the screwing state between the female screw part 54 and the male screw part 52 becomes more robust. Therefore, the left ring-shaped member 40a can be stably and firmly attached to the left frame 2a.

Further, even when the female screw portion 54 is deformed due to a change in the shape of the left ring-shaped member 40a, the male screw portion 52 is elastically deformed, and the deformed state of the female screw portion 54 can be absorbed. The left ring-shaped member 40a can always be stably and rigidly attached to the left frame 2a without being affected by the change in the shape of the ring-shaped member 40a. In addition, when the outer diameter of the left frame 2a is set to 50 to 70 mm, the width of the cutout portion 52a is preferably set to be in a range of 2 to 10 mm in consideration of maintaining the screwing strength and good elasticity. preferable.

The fitting groove 4 of the receiving portion 46
8 and the retaining ring 44 and the left ring-shaped member 40a, there is a little play, so that the left ring-shaped member 40
In a state where the left side plate 3a is attached to the left frame 2a via a, the left side plate 3a may rattle.

In this case, from the left frame 2a to the left side plate 3a
For example, an elastic member 60 is provided between the first extending portion 56 extending in the direction of the left side and the second extending portion 58 extending from the left side plate 3a toward the first extending portion 56. If you set
The left side plate 3a can be stably attached to the left frame 2a via the left ring-shaped member 40a without rattling.

As the elastic member 60, for example, a soft material such as rubber or resin can be applied. Such an elastic member 60 is formed by the first extension portion 56 and the second extension portion 58. Intervene between

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the elastic member 60 is stably set near the extension end of the second extension portion 58 extending from the left side plate 3a. After forming a possible recess 58a and setting the elastic member 60 in the recess 58a, the left side plate 3a is inserted via the left ring-shaped member 40a.
To the left frame 2a.

In this case, the elastic member 60 set in the recess 58a connects the left ring-shaped member 40a to the left frame 2a.
The first extension portion 56 and the second extension portion 58
(See FIG. 4A), and the repulsive force is transmitted to the second extending portion 58. At this time, the left side plate 3a connected to the second extension portion 58 is pressed against the left ring-shaped member 40a screwed to the left frame 2a with a predetermined pressure by the elastic action of the elastic member 60. As a result, the left side plate 3a is connected to the left frame 2a via the left ring-shaped member 40a.
It can be fixed stably without rattling.

Further, since the left ring-shaped member 40a has a substantially curved outer peripheral surface, the left ring-shaped member 40a
In a state in which the left side plate 3a is stably attached to the left frame 2a without a backlash via a, the outer peripheral surface of the left frame 2a passes through the outer peripheral surface of the left ring-shaped member 40a. A projecting portion, a step portion, and the like are not formed over the portion. That is, the entire surface of the reel body 1 exhibits a smooth sense of unity.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the left ring-shaped member 40a applied to the present embodiment includes a frame-side outer peripheral surface F1 and a curved outer peripheral surface F2 continuous from the frame-side outer peripheral surface F1. And a side plate-side outer peripheral surface F3 continuous from the curved outer peripheral surface F2.

The outer peripheral surface F1 on the frame side is connected to the left frame 2a.
Are positioned on substantially the same plane with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the
The side plate-side outer peripheral surface F3 is positioned on substantially the same plane as the outer peripheral surface of the left side plate 3a. The curved outer peripheral surface F2 is formed with an optimum curvature in consideration of grip holding ability, fishing operability, and appearance aesthetics.

The right ring-shaped member 40b is similarly
Frame-side outer peripheral surface F1 'and frame-side outer peripheral surface F1
′, And a side plate-side outer peripheral surface F3 ′ continuous from the curved outer peripheral surface F2 ′.

The outer peripheral surface F1 'on the frame side is
The outer peripheral surface of the right side plate 3b is positioned on substantially the same plane as the outer peripheral surface of the right side plate 3b. The curved outer peripheral surface F2 'is formed with an optimum curvature in consideration of grip holding ability, fishing operation, and appearance aesthetics.

As described above, according to the mounting method of the side plate applied to the present embodiment, not only the tightening amount of the left ring-shaped member 40a to the left frame 2a but also the elastic member 6
The left side plate 3a is attached to the left frame 2a using zero elastic force. For this reason, for example, even when the left ring-shaped member 40a is tightly tightened during the mounting process of the left ring-shaped member 40a and cannot be further tightened, the elastic action of the elastic member 60 is not affected by the left plate 3a.
And the left side plate 3a can be pressed against the left ring-shaped member 40a, so that the left side plate 3a can be stably and rigidly attached to the left frame 2a without rattling.

Further, according to the side plate mounting method applied to the present embodiment, even if the left ring-shaped member 40a fastened to the left frame 2a is suddenly loosened and the left side plate 3a becomes loose, the elasticity is improved. Since the elastic action of the member 60 acts on the left side plate 3a, and the left side plate 3a can be pressed against the left ring-shaped member 40a to remove play, for example, for holding and holding the reel body 1 during fishing operation. Even in the state where repetition or the like is performed, the left side plate 3a does not always rattle with the left frame 2a. As a result, it is possible to always ensure stable gripping and holding and fishing operability.

Further, according to the side plate mounting method applied to the present embodiment, the clearance between the left side plate 3a, the left ring-shaped member 40a, and the left frame 2a can be made as small as possible. It is possible to eliminate a sense of incongruity at the time of holding and holding the main body 1, to improve the holding and holding properties, and to always maintain the appearance of the reel main body 1 in an improved appearance.

Further, as described above, the male screw portion 52 of the left frame 2a is divided so that the male screw portion 52 itself has elasticity. The tightening property of the ring-shaped member 40a can be improved, and the left ring-shaped member 40a can always be stably and rigidly attached to the left frame 2a.

In the above-described embodiment, the first extending portion 56 extends from the left frame 2a in the direction of the left side plate 3a, and extends from the left side plate 3a toward the first extending portion 56. The elastic member 60 is disposed between the second extension 58 and the second extension 58.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIGS.
a and the left frame 2a, for example, as shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 7, the same function and effect as described above can be realized even when provided between the left side plate 3a and the left ring-shaped member 40a.

The cross section of the elastic member 60 can be arbitrarily selected and used according to its location and application. For example, FIGS. 6A and 6B show the left side plate. An example is shown in which an elastic member 60 having a substantially rectangular cross section (a thin plate) is applied according to the shape between the receiving portion 46 of 3a and the left ring-shaped member 40a.

As a means for detachably attaching the left ring-shaped member 40a to the side of the left frame 2a, for example, a cam fixing method as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 may be applied. .

More specifically, a cam 70 is protruded along the side of the left frame 2a, and a substantially L
A U-shaped cam groove 72 is formed. On the other hand, the left ring-shaped member 4
A cam projection 74 that can be inserted into and engaged with the cam groove 72 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of Oa. According to such a cam structure, the cam projection 74 of the left ring-shaped member 40a is
After the insertion in alignment with 2, the left ring-shaped member 40a can be removably attached to the side of the left frame 2a by rotating the left ring-shaped member 40a along the cam groove 72.

In this case, a locking piece 76 is projected from the outer periphery of the cam body 70 of the left frame 2a, and a plurality of locking grooves 78 in which the locking piece 76 can be locked are formed on the inner circumference of the left ring-shaped member 40a. If it is formed on the surface, when the left ring-shaped member 40a is rotated along the cam groove 72, the locking piece 76 and the locking groove 78 are continuously locked, and the left ring-shaped member 40a is The amount of rotation can be adjusted stepwise, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the left ring-shaped member 40a rotates and the cam protrusion 74 comes off the cam groove 72.

It is to be noted that such a cam stopper method can be applied also as a method of attaching the right ring-shaped member 40b and the right frame 2b, but the configuration is the same as the above-described configuration. Therefore, the description is omitted. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the round double-bearing type fishing reel is described as an example, but the present invention can be applied to a fishing cantilever type reel.
