Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a handle left/right switching mechanism for a fishing reel in which an operating knob of a drag mechanism is mounted and arranged on a support shaft of an operating handle.

Conventionally, in spinning reels, the drag knob is placed on the front of the spool or on the rear side of the reel body.
If you need to adjust the drag while reeling in a fishing line, you have to take your hand off the operating handle, which makes it difficult to operate, and when excessive tension is applied to the fishing line, it is difficult to quickly adjust the drag, which can cause problems such as line breakage. There is a drawback that troubles can easily occur.

In order to eliminate this drawback, the drag knob should be placed coaxially with the spindle of the operating handle and closer to the end of the spindle on the handle handle side. Since it is necessary to integrate the cylindrical components with each other through a cylindrical component, it is difficult to configure the operating handle so that the position can be changed from left to right.

In view of this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide a handle left/right switching mechanism for a fishing reel that allows the drag knob to be positioned on the spindle of the operating handle while making it easy to change the left/right position of the operating handle. do.

That is, in the fishing reel handle left/right switching mechanism according to the present invention, the boss portions of the drag gears located on the left and right sides within the casing of the reel main body are made to protrude in a cylindrical shape, and are removably fitted into the inner diameter of each cylinder. The drag knob is located near the shaft end of the handle spindle through a collar, and a tightening screw is formed on the outside diameter of the cylinder to connect the collar and the drag knob, or a cap is aligned with the housing of the reel body. can be screwed as appropriate, and the operation handle, which is removably screwed and inserted in a cylindrical bearing that supports the drag gear, can be easily moved left and right.

This will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiments.

The illustrated spinning reel is equipped with an operation handle 2 on the outside of a housing 1 of the reel body, and the handle shaft 2a is inserted into a cylindrical bearing 3 rotatably arranged inside the housing and tightened with a screw 4. By fixing the attachment, the bearing 3 can be rotated with the rotation of the operating handle 2, and the handle support shaft 2a can be extracted from the bearing 3 by removing the screw 4.

A main gear 5 is fixedly supported on the axis of the bearing 3, and by meshing the main gear 5 with a pinion 7 formed on the axis of the tube shaft 6, the gap between the main gear 5 and the casing 1 is fixed on the axis of the tube shaft 6. It is configured to rotate a rotor 9 which is attached and fixed by a bearing 8 to the rotor 9.

A spool 11 is fixed to the distal end side of the main shaft 10, which is inserted into the diameter of the tube shaft 6 and supported by the housing 1, with a pin or the like, and the main shaft 10 and the main gear 5 are connected to each other via an oscillating mechanism. The spool 11 is configured to be slid back and forth in the front and rear directions by rotating the handle 2.

Additionally, on the axis of the main shaft 10, there is a drag that normally brakes the main shaft 10 so that it cannot rotate, but that releases the brake so that the spool 11 can rotate when excessive tension is applied to the fishing line (not shown). A mechanism is provided.

This drag mechanism includes a drag washer 1 that engages with a bush 12 fitted onto a main shaft 10 so as to be slidable in the axial direction.
2a and d) The main shaft 10 is pressed into contact with the drag washer 13a which is slidably engaged with the housing 13 in the axial direction.
is made unrotatable, while the drag washers i2a, 13a
If the pressure contact between them is released by the extension of the spring 14, the bush 12 becomes rotatable, so that the spool 11 can be rotated together with the main shaft 10.

The spring 14 is fitted between the drag washer 12a or 13a and a seat plate washer 16 that is integrated with a movable screw 15 that moves back and forth as the screw is screwed in or unscrewed.

The moving screw 15 is screwed onto an axis formed integrally with the rear of the cam gear 17, and the cam gear 17 is rotated by sub gears 18.18' and drag gears 19.19' disposed on both left and right sides of the housing 1. Accordingly, the drag mechanism is configured to be able to brake or release the brake.

Drag gears 19 and 19' of this drag mechanism are rotatably supported on the same axis of a bearing 3 to which the rotating main gear 5 of the rotor 9 is fixed via bearings 20a and 20'a.

In a spinning reel equipped with this drag mechanism, the boss portion of each drag gear 19, 19' is made to protrude outward in a cylindrical shape,
It is configured such that a drag knob 21 can be connected to the cylindrical portion via a collar 20.

The inside diameter of the cylindrical portion is chamfered into a non-circular shape, and by fitting the non-cylindrical axial line portion of the collar 20 into the inside diameter, the collar 20 can be non-rotatably engaged in the axial direction. ing.

Further, spiral screws 19a, 19' are provided on the outer periphery of each cylindrical portion.
a is provided, and these helical screws 19a, 19'a
In this case, either a tightening screw 22 connecting and fixing the collar 20 and the drag gears 19, 19' or a cap 23 having a shape that matches the housing 1 can be screwed.

Note that the amount of tightening of the screw 22 is regulated by a ring 24 fixed to the outer periphery of the collar 20, and
The collar 20 and the drag knob 2 are loosely fitted onto the support shaft 2a of the
1 and are integrally attached to each other.

With the fishing reel operating handle constructed in this manner, when repositioning it to the right or left side of the housing 1, first remove the cap 23 from the drag gear 19' in the case shown, and then remove the operating handle. Remove the screw 4 that screws and fixes the spindle 2a of the handle 2 to the bearing 3.

Next, on the drag gear 19 side, by loosening the tightening screw 22 and removing it from the spiral screw 19a of the cylindrical part, the support shaft 2a is
from the bearing 3 and remove the operation knob 2 from the reel body housing.

Next, insert the support shaft 2a of the operating handle 2 into the bearing 3 from the cylindrical portion side of the drag gear 19', and screw the screw 4 onto the shaft end from the drag gear 19 side, thereby moving the operating handle 2 into the bearing 3. Tighten to secure.

Next, tighten the tightening screw 22 into the spiral screw 1 of the drag gear 19'.
By screwing into 9'a, the collar 21 integrated with the drag knob 22 is connected and fixed to the drag gear 19', and by screwing the cap 23 onto the drag gear 19 on the other side, the left and right position of the operation handle 2 can be changed. can.

As described above, according to the fishing reel handle left/right switching mechanism according to the present invention, even if the drag knob is placed on the axis of the operating handle and closer to the shaft end, the drag knob can be connected via the drag gear and the collar. Furthermore, since the collar and the drag gear can be attached and detached using tightening screws that can be screwed into each drag gear, the operating handle can be moved to the left or right with an extremely simple assembly process.
