BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device of a fishing reel, which is installed in a display device, particularly a reel main body, to display the depth of the fishing hook.

Generally, a fishing reel includes a reel main body, a spool mounted on the reel main body, a handle for rotating the spool, and a display device mounted on an upper surface of the reel main body and having a display for displaying a depth. The display unit is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and can display the fish swimming layer position, the current depth of the fish hook, and the like.

Such a display device includes a first member having various electrical components, a second member provided to be opened and closed with respect to the first member and having a display portion, and a connecting means connecting the first member and the second member. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 2-36976 is disclosed.

In the conventional display device, it is desired that the display unit be enlarged in order to display various kinds of information in large quantities or to improve visibility. However, since the display portion is provided only in the second member, in order to enlarge the display area, the second member must be enlarged, which may cause the entire reel to be enlarged.

An object of the present invention is to enlarge a display area while minimizing the entire reel in a fishing reel having an openable display device.

The display device for fishing reels according to the first aspect of the invention is a display device for fishing reels that is installed on a reel main body rotatably supporting a spool and performs various indications such as the depth of a fishing needle bundle. A first member having a first display portion to be performed, a second member having a second display portion which is provided to be opened and closed with respect to the first member to perform various displays, and connecting means for swingably connecting the first member and the second member to each other. Equipped with.

In this display device, since the first display portion and the second display portion are provided in the first member and the second member, respectively, the display area can be reduced while maintaining the size of the first member and the second member, i.e., miniaturizing the entire reel. I can make it big.

In the display device according to the second aspect of the invention, in the display device of the first aspect, at least one of the first display portion and the second display portion performs a liquid crystal display of a segment system. In this case, for example, cost reduction and power reduction can be achieved by using a segment type liquid crystal to display a numerical value such as water depth. Further, by using a segment type liquid crystal in the second display portion on the side of the second member to be opened and closed, the wiring from the first member to the second member can be reduced.

In the display device according to the third invention, in the display device according to the first invention, at least one of the first display portion and the second display portion performs liquid crystal display of a dot matrix system. In this case, the visibility can be improved by, for example, using a dot matrix liquid crystal in order to display characters, figures, and the like representing various kinds of information.

In the display device according to the fourth aspect of the invention, in any one of the first to third display apparatuses, at least one of the first display portion and the second display portion has a plurality of display screens. In this case, the plurality of display screens can be arranged at an arbitrary position by dividing the first display section and the second display section into a plurality.

In the display device according to the fifth aspect, in any one of the first to third aspects, at least one of the first display portion and the second display portion performs graph display. In this case, for example, the speed, tension, and the like that change with time can be displayed to be easily understood by the user.
