Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] In a spinning reel, a brake disc installed at the rear of the rotor is pressed against a brake shoe using an operating lever pivoted on the reel mounting leg to brake the feeding of the fishing line.
It is known from Publication No. 876.

However, in the conventional method, the brake disc is partially pressed against the brake shoe at one location, so the rotor easily wears against the shaft, and delicate braking adjustment is difficult.Furthermore, the brake disc suffers from intermittent slippage. There is a defect that occurs and prevents smooth braking action.

The present invention is an attempt to improve these deficiencies, and the brake shoes provided on the annular frame are disposed oppositely to the brake disc provided at the rear of the rotor, and the annular frame straddles the housing and is pivoted to the reel body. The main feature is that the brake shoe is connected to a fork-shaped operating lever, and the operating lever is activated to bias the brake shoe away from the brake disc.

To explain an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings, a ring P is provided at the rear of a rotor 2 having a bail arm 1 for locking a fishing line.
The brake disc 3 of ' is fixed, and the rotor 2 is rotated by the rotation of the handle 4 in a well-known manner, and winds the fishing line through the bail arm 1 onto the spool 5 which slides back and forth.

Further, on the rear side of the brake disc 3, brake shoes 7 which are evenly fitted into an annular frame 6 are installed facing each other, and both sides of the annular frame 6 are provided with a reel body consisting of a housing 8 and a reel mounting leg 9. A long hole 11 and a pin 12 are provided in a fork-shaped operating lever 10 that spans the housing 8 and is pivoted to the reel mounting leg 9.
Further, the operating lever 10 is energized by a spring 13 so that the brake shoe 7 is separated from the brake disc 3.

Note that the brake disc 3 may be directly and integrally fixed to the rotor 3 as shown in the drawings of the embodiment, or it can be integrally engaged with the rotor 3 and rotate integrally only when the rotor 3 is in the fishing line payout direction, that is, in the reverse direction. Furthermore, the brake shoes 7 do not necessarily have to be formed in a continuous annular shape, but may be disposed in an annular shape intermittently at regular intervals on the annular frame 6.

In the figure, 14 is a bail arm reversing protrusion provided on the operating lever 10.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, in order to brake the feeding of the fishing line in the fishing line winding state, when the base of the operating lever 10 is rotated upward, the brake shoe 7 of the annular frame 6 is moved to the brake disc. 3 to brake the reverse rotation of the rotor 2.

In the present invention, a brake shoe provided on an annular frame is placed in opposition to a brake disc provided at the rear of the rotor, and the brake shoe is brought into pressure contact with the brake disc using a fork-shaped operation lever at the tip that is pivoted to the reel body. During braking, the brake shoes are evenly pressed against the brake disc, which prevents wear on the rotor shaft and allows for smooth and easy adjustment of subtle braking ranges, and also prevents intermittent slips that occur with conventional component braking. Continuous and smooth slip braking is possible without any slippage.

In addition, the brake shoes of this invention are evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the annular frame, so they can withstand strong and long-term friction braking, and by adjusting the spacing, the friction area can be adjusted as desired. It has excellent features and practicality, such as being able to obtain the optimum braking force suitable for various reels, including small reels.
