Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clutch switching member for a dual bearing reel having a clutch mechanism interposed in a power transmission system between a power device such as a handle and a spool.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-15415, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4
Japanese Patent Publication No. 24936 discloses a dual-bearing reel that transmits power generated by operating a handle to a spool via a clutch mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 11, these dual-bearing reels have a plate-like switching member 44 for connecting and disconnecting a clutch mechanism 49 between both side plates of a reel body 45. The switching member 44 is vertically rotatable about a horizontal support shaft 46 as a fulcrum. A spring 47 is provided in the clutch mechanism 49, and the switching member 44 is held horizontally by the spring 47 as shown in FIG.

The state shown in FIG. 11 is a state in which the clutch is on, and the handle shaft 48 of the handle and the spool (not shown) are dynamically connected. When the handle is turned, torque is transmitted to the spool via the clutch mechanism 49, and the spool rotates to wind up the fishing line. When the switching member 44 in the horizontal state is rotated so as to push down with a thumb or the like in the direction shown by the arrow C against the urging force of the spring 47, the clutch mechanism 49 switches to the clutch-off state. In this state, even if the handle is turned, power is not transmitted to the spool, and the spool becomes free to feed out the fishing line.

[0005]

In the conventional dual-bearing reel, as described above, the switching member 44 protrudes rearward from the support shaft 46 with respect to the reel body 45, and the protruding portion is pushed down by a finger to thereby release the clutch mechanism 49. Is switched from on to off. For this reason, when a user puts a finger on the switching member and turns the handle to wind the fishing line, the finger may erroneously push down the switching member 44 in some cases. When the switching member 44 is turned downward, the clutch is disengaged, and it becomes impossible to wind the fishing line.

In addition, when the thumb of the hand holding the rod is attached to the switching member in fishing boats or the like, the rod is hit and the like is turned over, or the rod is strongly gripped to cope with the pulling of the fish being taken. If the thumb is erroneously grasped at this time, the switching member is pushed down and rotated, so that there is a problem that the clutch mechanism enters a fishing line releasing state and misses the fish.

Further, as shown in an embodiment of the present invention, a clutch mechanism for intermittently connecting and disconnecting a drive transmission system of an electric dual-bearing reel rotating a spool by a spool drive motor drivingly connected to the spool via a planetary gear reduction mechanism. If the switching member is switched to the fishing line release state by erroneous operation while the drive motor is driving, the spool will reversely rotate and the fishing line will be forcibly sent out as a characteristic of the planetary gear reduction mechanism, causing a backlash and tangling the line. There is also a problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide means for preventing such a malfunction of the switching member.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is a fishing line including a spool (4) rotatably supported between both side plates (2) and (3) of a reel body (1). The switching member (28) of the clutch mechanism for switching between the winding state and the fishing line releasing state is provided by the both side plates (2).
The spool (4) is rotatably provided behind the spool (4) between (3), and the spool (4) can be switched from the fishing line winding state to the fishing line releasing state by pressing a rear portion of the switching member (28). In the formed dual-bearing reel, the switching member (28) rotates toward the spool (4) between the drive transmission system from the switching member (28) to the clutch mechanism and the reel body (1). A rotation restricting means (52, 53, 54) for restricting is provided, and a turning power applying part (22) formed by projecting upward above the switching member (28) is switched in a fishing line winding state. Member (2
The clutch switching member of the dual-bearing reel provided directly above the rotation shaft core (28b) of (8) or on the side of the spool (4) therefrom is adopted.

Further, according to the invention of claim 2, a part of the turning power applying portion (22) provided on the switching member (28) is in a state in which a fishing line is wound up. )
The clutch switching member for a dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 formed rearward of the clutch switching member.

[0011]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1 As shown in FIG. 1, this dual-bearing reel has side plates 2 and 3 integrally on the left and right sides of a reel body 1 and both side plates 2 and 3
The spool 4 is rotatably supported therebetween.

The spool 4 is rotated by a driving force from a power unit described below provided on the reel body 1. The power unit includes a handle 6 in addition to the electric motor 5.

The handle 6 transmits torque to the spool 4 when the handle 6 is turned by a person who operates the electric fishing reel. A ratchet wheel 9 is fixed to the handle shaft 7 and a master gear 10 is loosely fitted thereto. The master gear 10 is pressed against the ratchet wheel 9 via a drag device 8. When the handle 6 is turned, the ratchet wheel 9 rotates integrally with the handle shaft 7, and the master gear 10 also rotates integrally with the handle shaft 7 due to frictional resistance via the drag device 8. As shown in FIG. 2, the teeth of the ratchet wheel 9 are engaged with claws 11 attached to the reel body 1. The pawl 11 meshes with the ratchet wheel 9 to allow the handle shaft 7 to rotate in the fishing line winding direction A, but to prevent the handle shaft 7 from rotating in the feeding direction B. On the other hand, the electric motor 5 is fixed horizontally to the reel body 1 and inserted into the cavity of the spool 4. The electric motor 5 is driven by a battery (not shown). Switches for driving and stopping the electric motor 5 are provided in a control box 12 mounted on the upper portion of the reel body 1 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the output shaft 5a of the electric motor 5
Is rotated in the fishing line winding direction A but not in the releasing direction B by a one-way clutch 13 interposed between the rear end and the reel body 1.

The handle 6 may be omitted, and power may be generated only by the electric motor 5. Also,
The electric motor 5 may be arranged outside the spool 4. In that case, the winding cylinder of the spool 4 can be made thinner to increase the winding amount of the fishing line.

The power unit transmits power to the spool 4 via a reduction mechanism including a planetary gear unit described below. This planetary gear device has a two-stage configuration. The first stage includes a first sun gear 14 fixed to the output shaft 5 a of the electric motor 5, a plurality of first planetary gears 15 meshing with the first sun gear 14, and a first planetary gear 15. An internal gear 16 integrally fitted in the meshing cavity of the spool 4 and a first carrier 17 of the first planetary gear 15
And The second stage includes the first carrier 17 rotatably mounted on the output shaft 5 a of the electric motor 5.
A second sun gear 18 for holding the second sun gear 1
8, a plurality of second planetary gears 19 meshing with the second planetary gear 19, the internal gear 16 meshing with the second planetary gears 19, and an intermediate shaft 20
And the second carrier 21 of the second planetary gear 19 fixed to the second carrier 21.

A pinion 24 is mounted on the intermediate shaft 20 via a clutch mechanism described later, and the master gear 10 meshes with the pinion 24. For this reason, in the state where the clutch mechanism is engaged, the handle 6 is moved in the fishing line winding direction A.
, The handle shaft 7, the master gear 10, the pinion 24, the intermediate shaft 20, and the second carrier 21 move in the same direction A.
, The internal gear 16 of the planetary gear unit rotates in the winding direction A with the spool 4, and the spool 4 winds the fishing line 25.

Since the first sun gear 14 is fixed to the output shaft 5a of the electric motor 5 as described above,
When the electric motor 5 rotates in the winding direction A, the internal gear 16 of the planetary gear unit rotates with the spool 4 at a reduced rotation speed in the winding direction A, and the spool 4 wraps the fishing line around its winding drum. Take up.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a clutch mechanism for intermittently transmitting power is provided in the rotary drive system from the power unit to the spool 4. Specifically, the clutch mechanism includes the pinion 24 and the intermediate shaft 2.
0. The pinion 24 is rotatably and slidably covered on the intermediate shaft 20, and female and male clutch pieces 20 a, 24 a capable of engaging and disengaging with the intermediate shaft 20 and the pinion 24 are formed. A shifter 26 is attached to the pinion 24 so as to be relatively rotatable. When the shifter 26 is operated in the left-right direction on the axis of the intermediate shaft 20, the clutch mechanism is turned on / off, and power from the handle 6 to the intermediate shaft 20 is transmitted. Transmission becomes possible or impossible.
The shifter 26 is guided in the left-right direction on the axis of the intermediate shaft 20 by a pin 27 provided on the reel body 1 as shown in FIG. Further, a coil spring (not shown) is mounted on the pin 27, and the coil spring constantly urges the pinion 24 to the clutch-on side via the shifter 26 so that the clutch mechanism can be kept on. .

The clutch mechanism is switched between a fishing line winding state (clutch on) and a fishing line releasing state (clutch off) by operating a clutch lever device described below, and is turned off by a torsion spring 43 described later. Is to be retained.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the clutch lever device includes a vertically rotatable switching member 28 bridged between left and right side plates 2 and 3 of the reel body, and a switching member 28. A first lever 29 fixed to one end of an integral rotating shaft 28a is engaged with the first lever 29 via a pin 30 to rotate together with the rotation of the first lever 29. A second lever 31 and a clutch cam 33 having the fork that rotates together with the rotation of the second lever 31 by engaging the second lever 31 with the pin 32 and the fork. ing. The pin 30 is covered with a torsion spring 43, one end of which is locked by the first lever 29, and the other end of which is the second lever 31.
It is locked to.

The clutch cam 33 is, as shown in FIG.
It is rotatably held by the reel body 1 and is constantly urged counterclockwise by a torsion spring 43 as shown in FIG. The clutch cam 33 is substantially disc-shaped, and has a cam piece 33a on its side surface that can be brought into and away from the shifter 26.

Thus, when the switching member 28 is not operated by a finger, the switching member 28 is in a substantially horizontal state by the pulling action of the torsion spring 43 and the clutch cam 33
The cam piece 33a is in the position shown by the solid line and releases the shifter 26. The shifter 26 pushes the pinion 24 in the clutch-on direction by the compression action of a coil spring (not shown). Therefore, when the handle 6 is turned or the electric motor 5 is driven as described above, the spool 4 rotates in the winding direction A. When the switching member 28 is pushed down against the torsional force of the torsion spring 43, the switching member 28 rotates downward, and the clutch cam 33 rotates clockwise in FIG. And clutch cam 3
The third cam piece 33a pushes the shifter 26 rightward in FIG. 1, and the shifter 26 moves the pinion 24 in the clutch off direction. Therefore, the spool 4 becomes free,
The fishing line can be released. In this state, even if the handle 6 is turned, the driving force is not transmitted to the spool 4.

As described above, when a thumb is put on the spool 4 and a thumbing operation is performed while winding the fishing line by turning the handle 6, the finger may touch the switching member 28. In such a case, the structure of the switching member 28 which is not pushed down is adopted. That is, as shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 7, the switching member 28 is configured such that
It is configured so as to be displaced to a position directly above the rotary shaft 8b or the spool 4 side from the rotation axis 28b. More specifically, the switching member 28 protrudes right above the rotation shaft 28a, and the left-hand side portion in FIG. 5 of the protruded top is directly above the rotation shaft core 28b or higher than the rotation center 28b. At the front, a turning power applying unit 22 is set.

Thus, when the fishing line is wound on the spool 4 by operating the handle 6 or the like, as shown in FIG. Even if a force is applied to the finger 50, a force acts on the switching member 28 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 28b, or the switching member 28 moves around the rotation axis 28b in FIG.
The switching member 28 does not rotate in the clockwise direction because the switching member 28 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. Therefore, the winding of the fishing line can be continued without the clutch mechanism being switched off.

4 and 5 at the center of the rotating member.
As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG.
The turning power applying part 22 is set behind the b. That is, a part of the turning power applying portion 22 is formed behind the turning shaft center 28b of the switching member 28 in the fishing line winding state.

As a result, when the fishing line is released from the spool, as shown in FIG. Since the turning power applying portion 22 at this position is located behind the turning shaft core 28b, the switching member 28 easily turns around the turning shaft core 28b, and switches the clutch off via the clutch lever device. Then, it is possible to perform the summing by bringing the tip of the finger 50 that has pressed down the switching member 28 into contact with the outer peripheral surface wound around the spool.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the switching member 28 is provided on the spool 4 side with a recess 5 for finger hooking.
1 is provided.

Further, the switching member 28 is appropriately switched between the winding state and the releasing state of the fishing line, and
In order to perform the turning-off accurately, a rotation restricting means is provided for the switching member 28.

That is, two projections 52 and 53 are provided below the rotating shaft 28a of the switching member 28.
The reel body 1 corresponds to the projections 52 and 53.
Is provided with a block-shaped stopper 54.
The stopper 54 may be divided for each of the projections 52 and 53.

The rotation restricting means of the switching member 28 is provided by the first lever 29, the second lever 31, or the rotation of the clutch cam 33 of the drive transmission system between the switching member 28 and the clutch cam 33 of the clutch mechanism. It may be a pin provided in the track.

Embodiment 2 As shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, this dual- bearing reel is disposed between a reel body 55 and a pair of left and right side plates 56 constituting the reel body 55. Spool 57
And a handle 58 attached to one side plate 56. At the lower part of the reel body 55, a mounting portion 59 for a fishing rod is provided.

As shown in FIG. 10, a spool shaft 60 is rotatably mounted on the left and right side plates 56 via bearings 60b, and a spool 57 is mounted on the outer periphery of the spool shaft 60 so as to be integrally rotatable.

A handle shaft 62 is rotatably attached to the right side plate 56 via a support shaft 61. A handle 58 is attached to one end of the handle shaft 62, and a ratchet gear 63 is attached to the other end so as to be integrally rotatable. The ratchet gear 63 is connected to a master gear 65 via a drag mechanism 64. The drag mechanism 64 includes the handle shaft 6.
A friction force corresponding to the operation amount of the drag star handle 66 screwed to the outer periphery of the second gear 2 acts between the ratchet gear 63 and the master gear 65. The frictional force causes the master gear 6 to move from the handle shaft 62 via the ratchet gear 63.
5 is transmitted. The ratchet gear 63 can rotate freely without meshing with a ratchet pawl (not shown) in the normal rotation direction (the direction of arrow X in FIG. 9), and cannot rotate in the reverse rotation direction because it meshes with the ratchet claw.

The master gear 65 meshes with a pinion 67 mounted on the outer periphery of the shaft end of the spool shaft 60. The pinion 67 is movable in the axial direction of the spool shaft 60. When the pinion 67 is at the position shown in FIG. 10, the engaging portion 67 a provided at one end of the pinion 67 is engaged with the outer periphery of the engaging portion 60 a of the spool shaft 60, and the pinion 67 is located between the pinion 67 and the spool shaft 60. Can be transmitted. When the pinion 67 moves rightward from the position shown in FIG.
7a and 60a are separated from each other, so that rotation cannot be transmitted between them.

In order to move the pinion 67 in the axial direction of the spool shaft 60, a shifter 68 is mounted in an annular groove of the pinion 67 so as to be rotatable relative to the pinion 67. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the shifter 68 has a pair of arms extending in the radial direction of the pinion 67. These arms are slidably fitted on a guide shaft 69 attached to the side plate 56, and the shifter 68
It is movably supported in the direction of 0. A coil spring (not shown) is mounted on the outer periphery of each guide shaft 69. The coil spring is mounted in a compressed state between the shifter 68 and a retaining ring (not shown) mounted on the shaft end of the guide shaft 69, and the direction in which the shifter 68 engages the pinion 67 with the spool shaft 60 due to the repulsive force thereof ( (Left side in FIG. 10).

As shown in FIG. 8 to FIG.
A clutch cam 70 is rotatably provided around the axis of the spool shaft 60 between the center of the shaft 8 and the side plate 56. The clutch cam 70 is provided with a pair of wedge-shaped cam portions 70a, 70a corresponding to the arms of the shifter 68. As shown in FIG. 8, the cam portion 70a is
In this state, the shifter 68 is pushed into the side plate 56 by the force of the coil spring, and the pinion 67 and the spool shaft 60 are engaged. Thus, a clutch-on state is formed.

On the other hand, when the clutch cam 70 rotates counterclockwise from the state of FIG. 8 and the shifter 68 engages with the cam portion 70a as shown in FIG.
0 and the pinion 67 is pushed out to the right of the spool shaft 60.
Separate from. As a result, a clutch-off state is formed, and the spool shaft 60 and the spool 57 can rotate freely.

To rotate the clutch cam 70, the reel body 55 is provided with a clutch lever device 71.
The clutch lever device 71 includes a rotating shaft 72 rotatably supported by the side plate 55, a switching member 73 and an interlocking lever 74 provided so as to be able to rotate integrally with the rotating shaft 72, and a support shaft 75 on the side plate 56. An interlocking lever 76 rotatably supported via one end and rotatably connected at one end to the interlocking lever 74 at the other end thereof to the clutch cam 70, and the interlocking lever 76 about the support shaft 75 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. And a torsion coil spring (biasing means) 77 that biases the torsion coil spring.

Since the structure of the switching member 73 is the same as that of the first embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. When the turning power applying unit 22 is pressed down with a finger against the force of the torsion spring 77 and pushed downward from the position shown in FIG.
4 rotates counterclockwise, and the interlocking lever 76 rotates clockwise. As a result, the clutch cam 70 rotates counterclockwise and moves to the position shown in FIG.

A restraining mechanism 78 is provided on the side plate 56 to restrain the clutch cam 70 at the position shown in FIG. The restraining mechanism 78 includes a restraining portion 79 provided integrally with the clutch cam 70 and a clutch switching member 8 mounted on the side plate 56.
0 (see FIG. 10). Clutch switching member 8
Reference numeral 0 denotes an operation knob 81 slidably mounted in a long groove 56e provided on the outer surface of the side plate 56, a holding body 82 housed in the side plate 56 and slidably mounted in the long hole 56f,
And a screw 83 for connecting them to each other. The longitudinal direction of the long groove 56e and the long hole 56f coincides with the front-rear direction of the reel, and therefore, the clutch switching member 80 can be slid in the front-rear direction of the reel.

As shown in FIG. 10, the holding member 82 has an engaging member 84 movable in the direction of the spool shaft 60 and a compression coil spring 85 for urging the engaging member 84 toward the restraining portion 79. And are attached. At the tip of the engaging member 84, a convex portion 86 curved in a hemispherical shape is formed, and at the restricting portion 79, a concave portion 87 is formed.

When the restraining portion 79 moves to the position shown in FIG. 9 while the clutch switching member 80 is held at the position shown in FIG.
The convex portion 86 and the concave portion 87 are engaged with each other, and the restraining portion 79 is restrained at that position by the spring force of the compression coil spring 85. Thus, the clutch cam 70 is held at a position corresponding to the clutch-off state in FIG. 9 against the force of the torsion spring 77.

As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG.
A guide groove 88 extending downward from the recess 87 in the direction of movement of the restricting portion 79 (circumferential direction around the spool shaft 60).
Are formed. The length of the guide groove 88 in the circumferential direction is equal to the amount of movement of the concave portion 87 when the restricting portion 79 moves between the position in FIG. 8 and the position in FIG. The guide groove 88 is provided in the recess 8.
7 and a step is provided at the boundary between the two.

When the clutch cam 70 moves to a position other than that shown in FIG. 9 with the clutch switching member 80 switched to the front of the reel, the restraining portion 79 moves while the convex portion 86 and the guide groove 88 are engaged. . Thus, the displacement of the clutch switching member 80 is prevented, and the projection 86 and the recess 87 are securely engaged when the clutch cam 70 moves to the position shown in FIG. An enlarged portion 88a is formed at the lower end (the end opposite to the concave portion 87) of the guide groove 88. Clutch cam 7
8 returns to the position shown in FIG.
a, the displacement of the clutch switching member 80 is prevented.

The restricting portion 79 is provided with another guide groove 89 parallel to the guide groove 88 so as to be adjacent to the guide groove 88 behind the reel. The lower end of the guide groove 89 is provided with an enlarged portion 89a similar to the enlarged portion 88a of the guide groove 88 described above, but the upper end is cut out to the upper end of the restraining portion 79, and there is no equivalent to the concave portion 87. . When the clutch switching member 80 is switched from the position of FIG. 10 to the rear of the reel, the guide groove 89 and the convex portion 86 are engaged, but when the restricting portion 79 is at a position other than the position of FIG. It is impossible to restrict the restricting portion 79 by the convex portion 86 only by sliding the portion 86 along the guide groove 89.

In order to return the clutch cam 70 restrained to the position shown in FIG. 9 by the restraining mechanism 78 to the position shown in FIG.
A return mechanism 90 is provided on the side plate 56. Return mechanism 90
Is a guide shaft 92 attached to the kick pawl 91 and the elongated hole 91d of the kick pawl 91 attached to the side plate 56 and slidably fitted therein.
And a tension coil spring 93 that draws the kick claw 91 toward the ratchet gear 63. Kick claw 9
1 is provided with a pair of claw portions 91a and 91b so as to sandwich the protrusion 70b of the clutch cam 70 from both sides thereof (see FIG. 9). One hook 91a is provided with a spring hook pin 91c to which one end of the extension coil spring 93 is attached.

When the clutch cam 70 is at the position shown in FIG. 8, the pawl portion 91a is engaged with the convex portion 70b of the clutch cam 70, and the kick pawl 91 is
1c is held at a position separated from the ratchet gear 63. When the clutch cam 70 moves to the position shown in FIG.
While moving upward along 2 and rotating clockwise in FIG.
The pawl portion 91b meshes with the ratchet gear 63. When the ratchet gear 63 rotates forward (in the direction of the arrow X) in this state, the claw portion 91b is pushed out toward the clutch cam 70 side, whereby the claw portion 91b and the convex portion 70b are engaged, and
0 is driven clockwise around the spool shaft 60. As a result, the engagement between the convex portion 86 and the concave portion 87 of the restraining mechanism 78 is released, and the clutch cam 7 is
0 returns to the position of FIG.

According to the dual-bearing reel configured as described above, when the clutch switching member 80 is switched to the position shown in FIG. 10 and the switching member 73 is pressed down, the convex portion 86 and the concave portion 87 of the restraining mechanism 78 are connected. Engage clutch cam 7
0 is constrained to the position of FIG. In this state, the engagement between the pinion 67 and the spool shaft 60 is released, and the spool 5
7 can be freely rotated. Therefore, the fishing line wound around the spool 57 can be fed out freely. When the handle 58 is rotated forward, the clutch cam 70 is returned to the position shown in FIG. 8 by the return mechanism 78 and the torsion spring 77, and the pinion 67 and the spool shaft 60 are engaged. Thus, the fishing line can be wound around the spool 57.

On the other hand, when the clutch switching member 80 is slid backward from the position shown in FIG. 10, the clutch device switches to a flipping state in which the restraining mechanism 78 cannot restrain the clutch cam 70. Therefore, the switching member 7
3 is released, the clutch cam 70 is immediately returned to the position shown in FIG. 1 by the force of the torsion spring 76. As a result, the reverse rotation of the spool 57 is prevented, so that the feeding of the fishing line can be stopped quickly.

As described above, when the flipping function is added, switching from the fishing line release state to the fishing line winding state can be performed.
Since it can be performed only by releasing the pressing on the switching member, the switching between the release and the winding of the fishing line can be performed finely and easily. When the turning power applying portion is formed behind the rotation axis of the switching member in the fishing line winding state, the switching between the release and winding of the fishing line is performed by pressing and releasing the turning power applying portion in the vertical direction. The operation can be further simplified by simply performing the operation.

[0052]

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the switching member from rotating even if the hand or finger touches the switching member during summing or reel holding. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the clutch mechanism is erroneously switched off when winding the fishing line and the winding becomes impossible. In other words, when fishing with the thumb of the hand holding the rod on the switching member in fishing, etc., when the rod is hit and the like is turned back, or when the rod is strongly gripped to respond to the pulling of the fish being taken in The switching member is not pushed down even if gripped by the thumb, and the fish can be reliably caught without switching the clutch mechanism to the fishing line releasing state.

In the present invention, when the spool is rotated by a spool drive motor which is drivingly connected to the spool via a planetary gear reduction mechanism, the drive transmission system of the electric dual-bearing reel is interrupted in a conventional case. The switching member of the clutch mechanism was erroneously operated while the drive motor was being driven to switch to the fishing line releasing state, and the spool was rotated in the reverse direction to forcibly send out the fishing line, which could cause a backlash and entanglement of the line. According to the present invention, since erroneous operation of the switching member can be prevented, such backlash and the like can be reliably prevented.
