Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a contrast to other gloss part to be readily manifested when a semi-gloss part is partially formed by a matting treatment. SOLUTION: A groundwork layer 10 is formed on the surface of a material in a side cover by a zinc immersion process, and an electroless nickel plating layer 11 and double nickel plating layers 12 are formed on the upper part of the ground layer 10 in order. A part of the double nickel plating layers 12 (e.g. semi gloss parts 6a, 6b, 6c) is subjected to a matting treatment by a shot blast method. A chromium plating layer 13, which is a final plating layer, is formed so as to cover the whole of the part subjected to the matting treatment, and the part not subjected thereto. AS a result, the matted effect is manifested and an appearance having a quiet sheen is provided because the matting treatment by the shot blast method is carried out just before the plating process of the chromium plating layer 13.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a surface structure of a fishing gear, and more particularly to a surface structure having a plating layer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a dual-bearing reel as a fishing product is provided with a cover or the like made of metal and plated on the surface in order to give a sense of quality.
For example, plating is applied to the entire cover that appears on the outer surface of the dual-bearing reel. Particularly in fishing gear, a plurality of plating layers are formed because both corrosion resistance and aesthetics must be provided. For example, a nickel plating layer is formed as a base plating layer, and a chromium plating layer is applied to the surface.

[0003]

In the fishing gear including the dual-bearing reel as described above, the entire surface is made to be a glossy plating surface for a design reason or a dirt caused by a fingerprint is conspicuous. Instead, a semi-glossy surface may be provided in part or all. When this semi-gloss surface is formed, the surface of the material portion is matted by a shot blast method, and the surface is plated.

[0004] However, as mentioned above, especially in fishing gear,
Since a plurality of plating layers are formed on the material, even if the material is subjected to a matting process, a matte feeling is lost after the plating process, and it is difficult to obtain a contrast with other glossy portions. An object of the present invention is to make it easier to obtain contrast with other glossy portions when a semi-gloss portion is partially formed by matting.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fishing gear having a surface structure having a metal material portion and a semi-glossy portion formed on the material portion and having at least a part of the surface matted. It has a plating layer and a final plating layer formed on the base plating layer and having a glossy gloss on the surface.

[0006] In this case, the surface of the plating layer immediately before the final plating layer is matted to form a semi-glossy portion, instead of performing a matting process on the material. The matte feeling of the glossy portion can be emphasized, and an unprecedented semi-gloss matte feeling can be obtained. The surface structure of a fishing gear according to a second aspect of the present invention is the same as the structure of the first aspect, except that the material portion is an aluminum alloy member.

The surface structure of a fishing gear according to a third aspect of the present invention is the same as the structure of the first or second aspect, except that the surface of the fishing gear further includes a zinc-substituted layer formed between the material portion and the base plating layer. Here, since the zinc substitution layer is formed between the material portion and the base plating layer, the adhesive strength of the base plating layer to the material portion increases. The surface structure of the fishing gear according to the fourth aspect is the same as that of the first to third aspects.
In any of the above structures, the semi-glossy portion of the base plating layer is matted by a shot blast method.

The surface structure of a fishing gear according to a fifth aspect of the invention is the surface structure of any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the base plating layer includes a plurality of nickel plating layers, and the final plating layer is formed by a chromium plating layer.

[0009]

1 and 2, a dual-bearing reel adopting an embodiment of the present invention is a low-profile type reel for bait casting. The dual-bearing reel is rotatably and detachably mounted inside the reel body 1, a spool body 2 made of an aluminum alloy, a spool rotating handle assembly 2 arranged on the side of the reel body 1. And a spool 4 for thread winding. A star drag 3 for drag adjustment is provided on the reel body 1 side of the handle assembly 2.

The reel body 1 has a frame 5, side covers 6 mounted on both sides of the frame 5, a front cover 7 covering the front of the frame 5, and a thumb rest 8 covering the upper part. Each member constituting the reel body 1 is made of an aluminum alloy, and the surface of each member is subjected to a plating process using a zinc substitution method. Note that a high-precision portion such as a screw portion to which the cascon knob 9 is screwed is subjected to a plating process different from other portions.

Further, a semi-glossy portion is formed on a part of the side cover 6 and the thumb rest 8 by a matting process. That is, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 1, semi-glossy portions 6a, 6b, 6c are formed in a part of the side cover 6, and portions not shown by the broken line are glossy portions 6d. The semi-gloss part 6a is formed in the lower part of the side cover 6 so as to extend in a band shape in the front-rear direction. Semi-gloss part 6
b and 6c are formed on the upper part of the side cover 6 so as to extend in a band-like manner from the front end to the length in the front-rear direction. The side cover not shown in FIG. 1 also has a semi-gloss part and a gloss part. The detailed configuration of the semi-gloss part will be described later. The thumb rest 8 has a semi-glossy portion similar to that described above over the entirety thereof.

Next, the surface structure of each member constituting the reel body 1 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 3, a base layer 10 is formed on the surface of each member by a zinc substitution method. This zinc substitution method is a method often used conventionally, and the plating treatment is easy. The underlayer 1
An electroless nickel plating layer 11 and a double nickel plating layer 12 are sequentially formed on the upper part of the reference numeral 0. Further, a chromium plating layer 13 is formed on the double nickel plating layer 12.

Next, the surface structures of the semi-glossy portions of the side cover 6 and the thumb rest 8 will be described. As shown in FIG.
In the side cover 6, a base layer 10 is formed on the surface of the material by a zinc substitution method, and an electroless nickel plating layer 11 and a double nickel plating layer 12 are sequentially formed thereon. Here, the double nickel plating layer 12
(A part corresponding to the semi-glossy portions 6a, 6b, 6c or the entirety of the thumb rest 8) is subjected to a matting process by a shot blast method. A chromium plating layer 13, which is a final plating layer, is formed so as to cover the entire matted and unmatted portions.

Conventionally, when a semi-gloss part is formed,
Before the plating process, the material is subjected to a matting treatment by a shot blast method. However, in this case, since a plurality of plating layers are formed on the material, the matting effect is lost, and no contrast is obtained. However, in this embodiment,
Since the matting treatment by the shot blast method is performed immediately before the plating treatment of the chromium plating layer 13, a matting effect appears, and a shiny appearance can be obtained.

Next, the surface structure of a high-precision portion such as a screw portion of the member constituting the reel body 1 will be described. Underlayer 1 formed on the surface of a high precision part such as a screw part by zinc substitution method
When 0 is formed and a plurality of plating layers as described above are further formed, a desired dimension may not be obtained depending on the thickness of the plating layer even if the material is formed with high precision. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the underlayer 10 is formed by the zinc substitution method, the electroless nickel plating layer 11 is formed thereon, and the other plating layers are further formed thereon. Does not form. Note that the thickness of the electroless nickel plating layer 11 in the high precision portion is set to 15 μm or less. The plating process other than the high-precision portion is the same as described above. A double nickel plating layer 12 is formed on the electroless nickel plating layer 11, and a chromium plating layer 13 is further formed thereon.

In the plating process of the portion including such a high-precision portion, first, an underlayer 10 and an electroless nickel plating layer 11 are formed entirely. Next, when the high-precision portion is a screw portion, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.
And a double nickel plating layer 12 and a chrome plating layer 13 are formed using the nut 15 as a mask. As a result, only the base layer 10 and the electroless nickel plating layer 11 are formed for the screw portion, and the double nickel plating layer 12 is formed on these plating layers for the other portions.
And a chromium plating layer 13 are sequentially formed.

Here, since the thickness of the plating layer in the high-precision part is small, the dimensions of the material do not greatly change. In addition, since the electroless nickel plating layer 11 is formed in the high-precision part, the corrosion resistance is not impaired. [Other Embodiments] (a) In the above-described embodiment, the base layer 10 is formed on the surface of each member of the reel body by the zinc substitution method with respect to the plating of the aluminum alloy reel body. It may be formed by an etching method. By performing a surface treatment on each member made of an aluminum alloy by a tunnel etching method, minute pits P are formed on the surface as shown in an enlarged manner in FIG.

The tunnel etching method is a method in which a raw material (aluminum) is strongly etched by a pulse power supply while being immersed in a hydrochloric acid bath, and a mechanical anchor effect is produced by electroless nickel applied on the surface. In this case, minute pits P are formed on the surface of the member as described above, and the electroless nickel plating layer 11 can be firmly adhered.

(B) In the above embodiment, the double nickel plating layer 12 was formed on the surface of the electroless nickel plating layer 11, but this plating layer 12 may be a trinickel plating layer.
