Description

Fly fishing reel with detachable spool shaft support plate {FLY FISHING REEL WITH DETACHABLE SPOOL-SUPPORTING PLATE}

The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more specifically, to a fly fishing reel having a structure that can be easily attached to the spool shaft support plate to the reel frame.

Fly fishing is used to fish different kinds of fish, such as salmon, muskellunge and trout. These fish are usually expected to escape very long distances because they weigh two to six pounds.

In recent years, multiplier fly reels have been preferred that can quickly retrieve fishing lines after fish have escaped over long distances. Such multiplier-type fly reels have a crank handle as is well known in the art, where the ratio of the rotational speed of the spool to the rotational speed of the crank handle is 2: 1 to 4: 1. Such a multiplier type fly reel has a spool shaft support plate fixed integrally on one open side and a cover plate detachably fixed on the other open side. The cover plate has a drive gear and a crank handle for rotating the drive gear. See US Patent No. 4,796,831, issued to William G. Shepherd on January 10, 1989.

In the above-described multiplier fly fishing reel, the cover plate is attached to the reel frame by matching the circumferential cutout with the protruding stud provided on the mounting reel of the reel frame. However, the cover plate cannot be fixed to the reel frame because it is significantly affected by the rotation of the crank handle attached to the side thereof.

Also on the open side of the reel frame to which the cover plate is attached is provided a multiplier gear cluster having first and second gears. The first gear meshes with the drive gear of the cover plate, and the second gear meshes with the pinion provided on the spool shaft. Therefore, the operation of fixing the cover plate to the reel frame while maintaining the engagement state between the first gear and the second gear is not so simple.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fly fishing reel configured to be easily replaceable with a spool.

According to the present invention, the reel frame includes a guide groove in the radial direction on the inner circumferential surface of the open end, a plurality of recesses formed at equal intervals along the guide groove to cut the guide groove, and the guide groove between the recess and the recess. And a snap portion formed outside the radius. The spool shaft support plate has a plurality of leaf springs on the side contacting the open end of the reel frame. The leaf spring has a circular head portion, a fixing portion for preventing the left and right movement of the leaf spring, and an elastic neck portion connecting the head portion and the fixing portion, the head portion is moved radially inward by the external force, It can also be returned to its original state as soon as its external force is removed. The leaf spring is fixed in position by first and second bosses provided at the opening end of the spool shaft support plate. A gap is provided between the first boss and another adjacent second boss. The head portion of the leaf spring protrudes outward from the gap in the radial direction of the spool shaft support plate, and can retreat into the gap when external pressure is applied in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

With reference to FIG. 1, a reel frame, indicated entirely by reference numeral 10, is schematically illustrated. The reel frame 10 is cylindrical and both ends 12 and 14 are open. On the open end 12 of the reel frame 10, the spool shaft support plate 30 is detached and the other end 14 is equipped with a crank handle fixing plate for driving the spool.

The open end 12 of the reel frame 10 has a guide groove 20 in which the elastically deformable fixing member 34 of the spool shaft support plate 30 described later is guided in a compression deformation state. The open end 12 has a plurality of arcuate recesses 18 spaced at equal intervals into which the fixing member 34 of the spool shaft support plate 30 can enter the guide groove 20. Between these arc-shaped recesses 18, a snap portion 22 extending radially outward from the guide groove 20 is formed so that the fixing member 34 can be returned to its original state from the guide groove 20. have.

2 and 3 show the spool shaft support plate 30 attached to and detached from the open end 12 of the reel frame 10 described above. The spool shaft support plate 30 has a plurality of leaf springs 34 on the side in contact with the open end, and a fixing plate 32 fixed on the side by screws to fix the leaf spring 34 in place. .

The leaf spring 34 has a circular head portion 34a, a fixing portion 34b for preventing the left and right movement of the leaf spring, and an elastic neck portion 34c connecting the head portion and the fixing portion. 34 is configured so that the head 34a is moved radially inward by an external force, and can be returned to its original state as soon as the external force is removed.

Each of the leaf springs 34 is fixed in position by the first and second bosses 36 and 38 and its movement is limited. It is preferable that these 1st and 2nd bosses 36 and 38 protrude integrally from the side surface of the spool shaft support plate 30. A gap 44 is provided between the first boss 36 and another adjacent second boss 38, the elastic head portion 34a of the spring 34 extending radially outward of the spool shaft support plate from the gap 44. To protrude.

The head portion 34a of the leaf spring 34 is elastically deformed into the gap 44 when external pressure is applied in the clockwise direction A and in the tangential direction as seen in FIG. 3. In contrast, the head portion 34a of the leaf spring 34 is not moved or deformed by the external pressure applied in the counterclockwise direction B and in the tangential direction. This is because the neck portion 34c is in contact with the first boss 36. According to the above configuration, the spool shaft support plate according to the present invention can be selected to rotate in either direction within the opening of the reel frame.

Hereinafter, a process of attaching and detaching the spool shaft support plate 30 to the opening 12 of the reel frame 10 will be described in detail.

The user holds the spool shaft support plate 30 with one hand and holds the reel frame 10 with the other hand. And the head part 34a of the leaf spring 34 is arrange | positioned in the recess 18 of the opening part 12, and the spool shaft support plate 30 is arrange | positioned at the opening part 12 of the reel frame 10. As shown in FIG. At the moment of rotating the spool shaft support plate 30 in the clockwise direction A, the head portion 34a of the leaf spring 34 comes into contact with the guide groove 20 formed in the inner circumferential surface of the opening 12, whereby the radius It will enter in the direction.

While the head portion 34a of the leaf spring 34 is located inside the guide groove 20, the head portion 34a is elastically pressed into the guide groove 20. Therefore, in this state, the spool shaft supporting plate 30 is not separated from the opening 12 of the reel frame 10. When the spool shaft support plate 30 is further rotated, the head portion 34a of the leaf spring moves along the guide groove 20 to the snap portion 22. Since the snap portion 22 extends radially outward than the guide groove 20, the head portion 34a returns to its original position in the snap portion 22. In this state, the spool shaft support plate 30 is fitted firmly into the opening 12 of the reel frame 10.

When the spool shaft support plate 30 is further rotated in the clockwise direction, the head portion 34a again moves along the guide groove 20 to the adjacent recess 18. Since the recess 18 is open toward the front of the opening 12 of the reel frame as described above, the head portion 34a can be easily separated from the recess 18.

According to the above-described configuration, the spool shaft support plate can be attached to and detached from the reel frame only by rotation, so that the spool is easier to replace than the conventional reel.
