Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fishing reel which is configured to rotate a spool by rotating a handle and wind a fishing line onto the spool. The pinion is supported on a shaft for free rotation and axial movement, and the forward movement of the clutch lever moves the pinion in the axial direction of the spool shaft to control the clutch, and the drive rotation of the master gear by the handle disengages the clutch. The present invention relates to a fishing reel in which the clutch is controlled by moving the lever back and moving the pinion in the axial direction.

First, regarding this type of fishing reel,
As shown in Publication No. 32334, a contact body is formed separately from the clutch lever, and this contact body is pivotally supported on the clutch lever, and a stopper with which the contact body engages is provided on the clutch lever. A return plate having two protrusions is inserted, and when the contact body contacts the protrusions during forward movement, it escapes from the protrusions and enters the locus of movement of the protrusions, and during backward movement, the contact body contacts the protrusions. The present invention has proposed a method in which the projection piece engages the contact body with the stopper by rotation of the return plate, and the clutch lever is moved back through the contact body.

However, in the above conventional example, the protruding piece, the contact body, and the stopper are not in a positional relationship that allows them to respond immediately when the clutch lever starts to move back, and when the clutch lever starts moving back, In addition, since one protruding piece and the contact body engage at one point, there is severe wear and a high risk of breakage.Furthermore, the rocking of the contact body There was also the problem of requiring a large amount of space.

The present invention was invented in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has particularly excellent responsiveness during backward movement of the clutch lever, and also prevents the load from being concentrated at one point due to the engagement of the protruding piece with one contact body. The objective is to provide a fishing reel that eliminates wear and tear of parts and reduces the space occupied by the clutch mechanism.The reel has a clutch, and a pinion that meshes with the master gear rotates and rotates around the spool shaft. The clutch lever is supported so as to be freely movable in a direction, and the forward movement of the clutch lever moves the pinion in the axial direction of the spool shaft to disengage the clutch, and the drive rotation of the master gear by a handle causes the clutch lever to move forward. A fishing reel in which the clutch is controlled by moving the pinion in the axial direction, and the engaging body having a plurality of engaging pieces at the tip of the clutch lever can be rotated within a certain range. The engaging body is supported and biased in a direction opposite to the driving rotation direction of the master gear, and when the clutch lever moves forward, the engaging piece of the engaging body is pushed together with the teeth of the master gear and the gear. It is characterized in that it is configured to engage with one of the return protrusions of the rotating body.

Embodiments of the fishing reel of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

The fishing reel shown in the drawings includes a spool (not shown) and a spool shaft 4 having a clutch 41 with a non-circular cross section on the outer peripheral surface, which is rotatably supported by a pair of main body plates 6. plate 6
A handle shaft 1 is rotatably supported via a fixed shaft 1a, a master gear 2 is supported relatively rotatably on the handle shaft 1, and the handle shaft 1 is provided between the handle shaft 1 and the master gear 2. 1 is provided with a drag mechanism (not shown) that transmits the rotation of the gear 1 to the master gear 2;
It has a clutch 31 with a non-circular cross section that engages and disengages from the clutch 41 of the spool shaft 4, and has a yoke engaging portion 32 on the outer circumferential surface of the intermediate portion and engages with the master gear 2 on the outer circumferential surface of the other side in the longitudinal direction. A cylindrical pinion 30 having matching teeth 3 is supported on the spool shaft 4 to be freely rotational and axially movable, and is engaged with the yoke engaging portion 32 of the pinion 30 on the main body plate 6. a clutch yoke 10 that biases the pinion 30 in a direction in which the clutch 31 engages with the clutch 41;
0 through the pinion 30 and the clutch 3
The clutch lever 9 is moved in the direction of disengaging and disengaging from the clutch 41 of the clutch 41, and the rotational driving force of the handle attached to the handle shaft 1 is transmitted to the handle shaft 1, the drag mechanism, the master gear 2, and the pinion 30. , is transmitted to the spool shaft 4 via the clutches 31 and 41, and the rotation of the spool shaft 4 causes the fishing line to be wound onto a spool that is pivotally attached to the spool shaft 4.

The reverse rotation of the handle shaft 1 is prevented by a reverse rotation prevention gear 5 fixed to the handle shaft 1 and a reverse rotation prevention pawl 7 pivoted on a shaft rod 6a vertically disposed on the main body plate 6. The rotation of 2 is also transmitted to the traverse shaft 8 via a gear 81.

Further, during casting, the clutch lever 9 is operated to move the pinion 30 in the axial direction of the spool shaft 4 to control the clutch to disengage, thereby controlling the transmission of power from the pinion 30 to the spool shaft 4. The spool shaft 4, in other words, the spool, is made freely rotatable by blocking the spool shaft 4.

This clutch lever 9 has a fork-shaped protrusion 9
1 and 92 and an operating portion 93 extending toward the base side, and in the middle of the protruding portions 91 and 92 are inclined surfaces 91a and 92b that engage with the clutch yoke 10.
In addition, a guide groove 93a extending in the reciprocating direction of the clutch lever 9 is formed in the operating portion 93, and a guide pin 6b vertically disposed on the main body plate 6 is inserted into the guide groove 93a. A torsion spring 94 is interposed between the pin 6b and the clutch lever 9 to guide the reciprocating movement of the clutch lever 9, and the clutch lever 9 is guided between its forward movement end and backward movement end positions. This is done in a way that maintains the same.

However, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, in the known reel constructed as described above, a partial gear 11 having a plurality of teeth constituting an engaging body is arranged in a certain range near the tip of the protrusion 92 of the clutch lever 9. It is rotatably supported. This partial gear 1
1 constitutes an engaging body, a plurality of teeth 11d provided on the outer periphery constitute an engaging piece that engages with a return protrusion 15a of the rotating body 15, which will be described later. Further, near the tip of the protruding portion 92, a shaft hole 92b is provided, and a rising piece 92c is provided, and the partial gear 11 also has a circular shaft hole 11.
a, and also forms an abutting piece 11b that comes into contact with the rising piece 92c to restrict rotation of the partial gear 11. The shaft hole 11a of this partial gear 11 and the shaft hole 9 of the protrusion 92
2b, the stepped shaft body 13 is inserted and fitted, and the partial gear 11 is pivotally supported by the protrusion 92.

Further, a coil spring 12 is interposed between the partial gear 11 and the protrusion 92 to bias the partial gear 11 in a direction opposite to the drive rotation direction of the master gear 2. That is, the coil spring 12 is supported by the shaft body 13, and one end thereof is provided in the locking groove 92d in the rising piece 92c.
Furthermore, the other end is engaged with a notch 11c provided in the contact piece 11b.

Further, the shaft body 13 is made to protrude from the protrusion part 92 as shown in FIG. , the guide pin 6
The clutch lever 9 is guided along with the guidance by b. Further, an E-ring 14 is inserted into the protruding shaft end of the shaft body 13 to prevent it from coming off.

Moreover, what is shown in the drawing is the handle shaft 1.
A rotating body 15 consisting of a gear having a large number of teeth 15a on the outer periphery is inserted and fixed in a non-rotatable manner, and the teeth 15
a is formed so as to mesh with the teeth 11d of the partial gear 11.

In the embodiment configured as described above, by positioning the clutch lever 9 as shown in FIG. 1, the pinion 30 is moved in the axial direction of the spool shaft 4 by the clutch yoke 10, and the clutch is engaged. As mentioned above, the rotation of the handle is transmitted to the spool to wind up the fishing line.

When casting from this state, the clutch lever 9 is moved forward from the position shown in FIG. 1 to the position shown in FIG. 10, the pinion 30 is moved axially outward of the spool shaft 4 to disengage the clutch, thereby allowing the spool shaft 4 to rotate freely.

When the clutch lever 9 moves forward, the partial gear 11 approaches the rotating body 15 as the clutch lever 9 moves forward, and eventually the tooth 1
1d is in contact with the tooth 15a of the rotating body 15. When the clutch lever 9 moves further beyond this contact state, the teeth 11d of the partial gear 11 engage with the teeth 15a of the rotating body 15, and after this engagement, the partial gear 11 escapes around the rotating body 15. The clutch lever 9 rotates until it reaches the position shown in FIG. 4, and the torsion spring 94 stops the clutch lever 9 at the forward movement end position.

Next, when the handle is rotated to wind up the fishing line after casting in the free state as described above, the rotating body 15 rotates as the handle shaft 1 rotates. And this rotating body 1
As gear 5 rotates, the partial gear 11 also tries to rotate.

However, at this time, the rotation of the partial gear 11 is restricted when one end of the partial gear 11 comes into contact with the rising piece 92c, so that the partial gear 11 cannot rotate further than the state shown in FIG. Rotating body 15
As a result of the rotation, the push-back force acting on the partial gear 11 is transmitted to the clutch lever 9, and the clutch lever 9 is moved back while reversing the torsion spring 94.

Then, the partial gear 11 is released from the rotating body 15 by the return movement of the clutch lever 9, and when this release occurs, the coil spring 1
2 returns to the state shown in FIG. 1.

During the forward movement of the clutch lever 9 as described above, the partial gear 11 is moved by the rotating body 15 due to the action of the coil spring 12.
The clutch lever 9 is engaged gradually rather than impulsively, and the clutch lever 9 is swung by the action of the shaft 13 guided by the guide groove 93a of the clutch lever 9 and the elongated hole 6c. Since the vehicle enters in a straight line without any problems, the operation can be performed extremely smoothly.

Moreover, when the clutch lever 9 moves backward, the backward movement of the clutch lever 9 starts from a state where the partial gear 11 and the rotating body 15 are already engaged. This means that the robot moves backward at the same time as the previous operation, allowing extremely responsive operation.

Furthermore, the partial gear 11 and the rotating body 15
This means that the plural teeth 11d of the partial gear 11 do not engage intensively at one point.
...and a plurality of teeth 15a on the rotating body 15.
Since they engage with each other, the load is distributed, wear on the partial gear 11 and the rotating body 15 can be minimized, and there is no risk of breakage.

Further, since the partial gear 11 is rotated, there is no need to secure a space for the swing, unlike in the conventional example in which a long plate-shaped contact body is rocked, and the partial gear 11 can be disposed. The space required for the clutch mechanism is small.

In the above embodiment, a gear is used as the rotating body 15, and the teeth 15a of the gear are used as return protrusions, but the rotating body is not limited to a gear type. For example, it may be a disc body with a plurality of rod-like protrusions formed thereon to serve as return protrusions.

Further, although the partial gear 11 is used as the locking body, it is sufficient to include a plurality of locking pieces, and the present invention is not limited to partial gears. The point is that the engaging piece of the engaging body should be constructed so that a plurality of return protrusions of the rotating body are engaged with each other.

Further, in the embodiment described above, a rotating body was provided separately from the master gear 2, but there is no particular need to provide a separate rotating body, and the master gear 2 can also be used as a rotating body.

Further, in the above embodiment, the elongated hole 6c for guiding the shaft 13 was formed in the main body plate 6.
Without passing the shaft 13 through the main body plate 6, a part of the main body plate 6 is cut to form a rising part, and a guide piece parallel to this main body plate 6 is formed to prevent the clutch lever 9 from rising. Piece 92c and contact piece 11 of the partial gear 11
b may be inserted between this guide piece and the main body plate 6 to guide the clutch lever 9.

As is clear from the above description, according to the fishing reel of the present invention, the clutch lever operates smoothly during reciprocating motion, and the responsiveness during the backward motion of the clutch lever is particularly excellent. In the engagement between the rotating body and the master gear, the load is not concentrated on one point, and it is possible to prevent wear of these members and eliminate the risk of breakage. Furthermore, the part corresponding to the contact body of the conventional example is omitted, so there is no need to secure the space required for the rocking of this contact body, and the space occupied by the clutch mechanism can therefore be made extremely small. It is.
