Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a locking mechanism for a movable catch in a reel seat for a fishing rod that removably fixes a reel.

A reel seat is used to attach a fishing reel to a fishing rod, and as seen in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-165086, there is a seat plate on which the mounting legs of the reel are placed, and a reel seat on the seat plate. It consists of a pair of seats that fix the mounting legs of the reel, one of which is fixed to one end of the seat plate, and the other movable seat that moves forward and backward relative to the mounting leg of the reel placed on the seat plate. It is freely fitted to the sheet board.

However, as shown in FIG. 5, the conventional plate-shaped reel seat has uneven grooves formed on the upper surface of the sheet plate.
At the rear end of the movable seat, a locking pawl is provided protruding from only one end of the elastic locking piece, and a tightening cover plate is pivotally supported on the hook, and the elastic locking plate is mounted at the tip of the tightening cover plate. There is a device in which the movable catch is locked with the seat plate at one point by pressing the elastic locking piece so that the end locking claw of the elastic locking piece engages with the uneven groove of the sheet plate. In actual use, since the latch claw at one end of the elastic locking piece engages at only one point, the tip of the latch claw may wear out or break, resulting in insufficient strength. If a large impact force is applied to the fixed reel, there is a risk that the locking pawl and the uneven groove will disengage, the movable catch will move backward, and the attached reel will fall off.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the plate-shaped reel seat, and the front and rear ends of the elastic locking piece are formed into locking claws, each of which engages with the uneven grooves of the sheet plate in two strips. It provides a mechanism to firmly and reliably fix the movable catch to the reel seat by pressing the two locking parts evenly.The fixed catch is fixed to one end, and the movable catch is fixed to the other end. A locking uneven groove is provided on the upper surface of the seat plate that is slidably fitted, a transparent window is provided between the bearings provided on both rear sides of the movable seat, and the front and rear parts are inserted into the transparent window. An elastic locking piece having locking claws with both ends bent downward is fitted, and a leaf spring is interposed between the lower surface of the elastic locking piece and the upper surface of the sheet plate to secure the elastic locking piece. The front end pressing portion of the tightening cover plate, which is biased upward and supported by the bearing portion, presses approximately the center of the elastic locking piece, and the front and rear locking claws of the elastic locking piece are moved into the above-mentioned position. The gist is that it is formed so as to elastically engage with the locking uneven groove of the sheet plate.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A fixed catch 2 is fixed to the tip of a reel seat A that is fixed to a fishing rod (not shown), and a movable catch 3 is slidably fitted to the rear end. A locking groove 5 is provided on the surface of the metal sheet plate 4 at the fitting portion of the movable seat 3.
is formed.

Further, bearing parts 3a and 3a' are provided upwardly projecting on both rear sides of the movable catch seat 3 which is press-formed from a metal plate, and a transparent window 3 is provided between the bearing parts 3a and 3a' on both sides.
b is punched out, and inside the transparent window 3b are two hooks formed with the center slightly curved upward, both front and rear ends bent downward, and slightly tilted forward to ensure secure engagement. An elastic locking piece 6 made of a spring steel plate having locking claws 6a, 6a' is fitted into the frame of the transparent window 3b so as to slide integrally with the movable seat 3, and the elastic locking piece 6 is A leaf spring 7 curved upwardly in an arc is interposed between the lower surface of the stopper piece 6 and the upper surface of the locking uneven groove 5 on the surface of the sheet plate 4 to bias the elastic locking piece 6 upward, and In order to press the locking piece 6, pivot shaft parts 8a and 8a' are provided, and a tightening cover plate 8 having a pressing piece 8b at the tip is attached to the bearing parts 3a and 3a' on both rear sides of the movable catch seat 3. The front end pressing piece 8b presses approximately the center of the elastic locking piece 6, thereby locking the front and rear locking claws 6 of the elastic locking piece 6.
a, 6a' are elastically engaged with the locking uneven grooves 5 of the sheet plate 4, and the front and rear bent portions of the elastic locking pieces 6 are arranged in the front and rear direction of the transparent window 3b bored in the movable seat 3. It was formed so that both ends were in contact with each other and the two were integrally fitted.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, as shown in FIG.
When the tightening cover plate 8 is laid down by crimping, the elastic locking piece 6 is pushed down by the tip pressing piece 8b of the tightening cover plate 8, and the two front and rear ends of the elastic locking piece 6 are pressed down. The locking claws 6a, 6a' are respectively engaged with the locking concave and convex grooves 5 of the sheet plate 4 and press evenly at two points, so that the mounting leg 9 of the reel can be firmly clamped and fixed.

Furthermore, when the tightening cover plate 8 is erected to release the movable seat 3, the elastic locking piece 6 is urged upward by the plate spring 7, so that the elastic locking piece 6 is urged upwardly by the plate spring 7. As shown in the figure, the elastic locking piece 6 is pushed upward and the engagement between the locking pawls 6a, 6a' and the locking groove 5 is reliably released, allowing the movable seat 3 to slide smoothly and reeling. can be easily attached and detached.

When the tightening cover plate is laid down to fix the so-called reel, the locking pawls at both ends of the elastic locking piece engage with the locking uneven groove at two points, and at the same time, the elastic locking piece is pressed evenly. Since the front and rear bent parts are fitted to the front and rear ends of the transparent window drilled in the movable catch, the movable catch and the seat plate are integrated through the elastic locking piece, and the movable catch is fixed by crimping. It works firmly and reliably, preventing the tightening force from loosening even when a strong impact force is applied to the reel, and the tightening force is evenly divided into two parts, preventing wear and breakage of the latch pawl. It has excellent features and practicality such as being able to prevent.
