Description

[0001] DRAWN KNOB ASSEMBLY OF SPINNING REEL [0002]

The present invention relates to a drag handle assembly capable of being mounted on a spool shaft of a spool of a spinning reel that discharges a fishing line forwardly and is capable of being rotated by a spindle for adjusting a drag force of a drag friction portion for applying a drag force to the spool To a drag handle assembly of a reel.

Generally, a drag mechanism for applying a drag force to a spool is mounted on a front drag type spool of a spinning reel that discharges a fishing line forward. By attaching the drag mechanism, fishing line is not easily broken even if the load suddenly rises when the fish is caught in the preparation. The drag mechanism is provided between a spool shaft and a spool rotatably supported on the spool shaft and includes a drag handle assembly for engaging (screwing and screwing) the spool shaft and adjusting the drag force, And a drag friction portion having one or a plurality of drag washers installed between the assembly and the spool. The drag grip assembly is disposed so as to be contactable with the drag friction portion, and the drag friction portion is normally mounted on a circular recess formed in the front portion of the spool.

In this type of drag mechanism, it has been conventionally known that the drag mechanism can perform the infiltration of liquid into the inside of the drag friction portion with a simple structure (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the conventional drag mechanism, the drag handle assembly has a first member having a rim portion and a second member mating with the spool shaft. The second member is formed so as to protrude generally toward the first member so as to cover the rim portion. In addition, a seal member for sealing the gap between the spool and the drag handle assembly and the gap between the first member and the second member at the same time is provided. The seal member is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the first member. The front surface contacts the rear end surface of the cylindrical portion of the second member, and the outer circumferential portion contacts the inner circumferential surface of the spool .

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-135542

In the above-described conventional structure, since two gaps are formed in one seal member, liquid can be prevented from entering the inside of the drag friction portion through the outer periphery of the spool shaft from the gap between the first member and the second member.

However, in the above-described conventional structure, for example, when water is poured into a water reservoir or the like, the seal member may be pushed downward by a water pressure to be deformed rearward. When the seal member is deformed, a gap is formed between the rear end surface of the tubular portion of the seal member and the second member, and liquid may flow into the inside of the drag handle assembly.

An object of the present invention is to prevent liquid from flowing into the inside of a drag handle assembly even if water pressure acts on the seal member.

A drag handle assembly of a spinning reel according to a first aspect of the invention includes a spinning reel assembly that is mountable on a spool shaft of a spool of a spinning reel that discharges a fishing line forward and that is adapted to adjust a drag force of a drag friction portion for applying a drag force to the spool The handle assembly includes a handle, a first seal member, and a second seal member. The grip portion includes a first member having a rim portion and provided on the spool shaft so as to be non-rotatable and axially movable, a first member provided to be rotatable relative to the first member (circular motion in the forward and reverse directions) And a connecting member for connecting the first member and the second member in an axially non-moveable and rotatable manner, wherein the second member has a protruding portion that protrudes normally toward the first member so as to cover the rim, To adjust the force. The first seal member is a member that is disposed between the spool and the first member and seals the gap between the spool and the first member. The second seal member is a member disposed between the first seal member and the second member and having a normal contact portion capable of contacting the outer circumferential surface of the projection of the second member and sealing the gap between the first member and the second member .

In this drag handle assembly, the second seal member disposed between the first seal member and the second member has a normal contact portion contacting the outer peripheral surface of the normal projecting portion of the second member, Whereby the gap between the first member and the second member is lost. Further, the first seal member disposed between the spool and the first member seals the space between the spool and the first member. Here, the second seal member is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the projecting portion of the second member at the normal contact portion. Therefore, when the first seal member and the second seal member are integrally formed, the second seal member is less likely to be deformed even if the first seal member is pressed down by the action of water pressure. Therefore, even if water pressure acts on the two seal members, it becomes difficult for liquid to flow into the interior of the drag handle assembly from between the first member and the second member. In addition, when the first seal member and the second seal member are made separate from each other, the second seal member is less deformable even when the first seal member is deformed, and it becomes difficult for the liquid to further flow into the inside of the drag handle assembly .

The drag handle assembly of a spinning reel according to a second aspect of the present invention is the drag handle assembly of the first aspect of the present invention, wherein the second seal member is a ring shaped annular member formed on the inner peripheral side of the contact portion and engaging (engaging, engaging) And an annular concave portion. In this case, since the inner peripheral surface in addition to the outer peripheral surface of the rear end portion of the protruding portion becomes feasible, it becomes difficult for the liquid to further flow into the inside of the drag handle assembly.

A drag handle assembly of a spinning reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the handle according to the first or second aspect of the invention, wherein the first member has an annular groove on the outer circumferential surface thereof and the first seal member is formed by a stop ring The movement in the direction of separating from the two-chamber member is regulated. In this case, since the movement of the first seal member toward the rear side can be regulated by the stop ring, there is no need to directly attach the first seal member to the annular groove or the like. Therefore, the first seal member can be reinforced by inserting a backup ring or the like, so that it is possible to make the first seal member less deformable even when the water pressure acts on the first seal member.

The drag handle assembly of a spinning reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the handle according to the first or second aspect of the invention, wherein the first seal member has a lip portion having a cross section that tapers toward the front end contacting the inner circumferential surface of the spool. In this case, since the contact area between the spool and the first seal member becomes small, it is difficult to influence the rotation of the spool even if the spool and the first seal member relatively rotate.

A drag handle assembly of a spinning reel according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the handle according to the first or second aspect of the present invention in which the handle portion is disposed between the first member and the second member and is rotated by the relative rotation of the first member and the second member It also has a pronouncing mechanism. In this case, even if the sounding mechanism is provided between the first member and the second member, the liquid can be prevented from flowing into the inside of the drag handle assembly.

A drag handle assembly of a spinning reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the handle grip according to the fifth aspect of the invention, wherein the first member is made of metal and the phonetic device is rotatably mounted on the front surface of the rim of the first member, And a striking member movably mounted on the second member in a state of being pressed toward the concave concave portion. In this case, since the first member is made of a metal having high heat resistance, even if heat is transferred from the friction portion, a problem due to heat is unlikely to occur. In addition, by forming synthetic resin in the portion on which the concave concave portion is formed, the concave concave portion can be easily manufactured, and synthetic resin having high sliding property such as polyacetal can be used. It is possible to operate with a light force even if a hitting force is applied, thereby improving the durability of the concave recess.

A drag handle assembly of a spinning reel according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the handle according to the first or second aspect of the invention, wherein the second member has a handle, a nut portion and a spring member. The handle body includes a handle body made of a synthetic resin having a protruding portion having a smaller diameter than that of the original plate portion and the original plate portion and a metal plate portion having a metal plate shape fixed to the front surface of the handle body to cover the original plate portion. And a metallic operation handle fixed to the front surface of the cover portion along the radial direction. The nut portion is non-rotatable and axially movably mounted on the handle, and is engaged with the spool shaft. The spring member is a member disposed between the nut portion and the first member.

In this case, since the front face of the rim of the synthetic resin handle body is covered with the metal cover, the front face of the drag handle assembly is improved and the front face is less likely to be damaged. In addition, it is possible to easily form a configuration for housing the phonetic device or the rim of the first member by molding the synthetic resin.

According to the present invention, the second seal member is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the projecting portion of the second member at the normal contact portion. Therefore, when the first seal member and the second seal member are integrally formed, the second seal member is less likely to be deformed even if the first seal member is pressed down by the action of water pressure. Therefore, even if water pressure acts on the two seal members, it becomes difficult for liquid to flow into the interior of the drag handle assembly from between the first member and the second member. In addition, when the first seal member and the second seal member are made separate from each other, the second seal member is less deformable even when the first seal member is deformed, and it becomes difficult for the liquid to further flow into the inside of the drag handle assembly .

The inner ring of the bearing 58b is attached to the small diameter portion 57a. The outer ring of the bearing 58b is attached to the shaft supporting portion 4f of the winding body portion 4a. In the large-diameter portion 57b, a first locking surface 57c composed of mutually parallel surfaces and a second locking surface 57d perpendicular to the first locking surface are formed. The second support portion 57 is fixed to the spool shaft 15 in a non-rotatable manner by a detent screw 59 arranged to penetrate the first restricting surface 57c. The detent screw 59 uses a hollow set screw with a slit and is inserted into a screw hole passing through the locking surface 15a through the first locking surface 57c.

In the support structure of the spool 4 having the above-described structure, the support cylinder portion 53 is provided in front of the support wall portion 4e of the winding body portion 4a, and the bearing 58a is disposed in the support cylinder portion 53 The interval between the two bearings 58a and 58b in the axial direction can be widened as compared with the conventional structure in which two bearings are arranged on the shaft supporting portion 4f. Therefore, the support interval of the spool 4 is widened, and the rattling of the spool 4 can be suppressed.

[Configuration of Drag Mechanism]

The drag mechanism 60 includes a drag handle assembly 61 for adjusting the drag force by hand and a drag handle assembly 61 for pushing the drag handle assembly 61 to the spool 4 side to adjust the drag force, (An example of the drag portion 62) having the washer washers 62a to 62d.

[Structure of Drill Handle Assembly]

9 and 10, the handle grip assembly 61 includes a first attachment member 66 and a handle member 63 having a second member 67 that rotates relative to the first member 66 A first seal member 64 which seals the gap between the handle 63 and the spool 4 and a second seal member 64 which seals the gap between the first member 66 and the second member 67, And a knob phonetic device 68 (Fig. 10) that is pronounced by the relative rotation of the first member 66 and the second member 67. [

The handle 63 includes a connecting member 74 for connecting the first and second members 66 and 67 in an axially non-movable and rotatable manner in addition to the first and second members 66 and 67 Have.

The first member 66 is a metallic member such as an aluminum alloy with a rim having a ring-shaped rim 66a and a cylindrical portion 66b having a smaller diameter than the rim 66a. The first member 66 is provided on the spool shaft 15 so as to be non-rotatable and axially movable. On the front end face of the rim portion 66a, a sound outputting plate (an example of sound outputting) 69 constituting the knob sounding mechanism 68 is integrally rotatably provided.

The sound output disk 69 is made of a synthetic resin, and a plurality of concave depressions 69a are formed on the front surface thereof with intervals in the circumferential direction. A plurality of connection projections 69b are formed on the rear surface of the output original plate 69 so as to fit into a plurality of connection holes 66e formed in the rim portion 66a. Thereby, the sound output original plate (69) is stopped to rotate with respect to the first member (66).

An elliptical locking slot 66c engaging with the locking surface 15a of the spool shaft 15 is formed at the inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion 66b. An annular groove 66d is formed at the rear of the mounting portion of the first seal member 64 on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 66b. The rear end surface of the cylindrical portion 66b abuts on the drag washer 62a of the friction portion 62 through the first support portion 56. [

The second member 67 is a member that normally abuts against the spool shaft 15 and projects toward the first member 66 so as to cover the rim 66a. The second member 67 includes a handle 71 and a nut 72 which is rotatably and axially movably mounted on the handle 71 so as to mate with the spool shaft 15 and a nut 72 And a spring member 73 composed of a coil spring disposed in a compressed state between the first member 66 and the first member 66. [

The handle 71 includes a knob body 75 made of a synthetic resin having a circular plate portion 75a and a normal projection 75b having a smaller diameter than the circular plate portion 75a and a knob body 75 fixed to the front surface of the knob body 75 And a metal operation knob 77 fixed to the front surface of the cover portion 76 in the radial direction.

Four bolt members 80a to 80d are inserted from the rear side of the circular plate portion 75a of the knob body 75 and are inserted into the operation knob 77 through the cover portion 76. [ Thus, the cover portion 76 and the operation handle 77 are fixed to the knob body 75.

The protruding portion 75b normally projects toward the first member 66 so as to cover the rim portion 66a of the first member 66. [ The rim portion 66a of the first member 66 covered with the protruding portion 75b is prevented from slipping off by the connecting member 74 mounted on the inner circumferential surface of the protruding portion 75b. Thereby, the first member 66 and the second member 67 are connected so as to be relatively rotatable and axially non-movable. A nut accommodating portion 75c is formed in the inner peripheral portion of the knob body 75 so that the nut portion 72 is axially movable and is rotatable integrally.

The cover portion 76 is formed so as to cover the entire surface of the disc portion 75a of the knob main body 75 and a part of the outer peripheral surface. As a result, the knob body 75 made of a synthetic resin, which constitutes the mechanical part of the drag handle assembly 61, hides in the spool 4 and is not exposed to the outside. The front surface of the cover portion 76 is recessed so as to be gradually thinner toward the central portion. The operating knob 77 is disposed along the diameter of the cover portion 76 and protrudes forward.

The connecting member 74 is a member formed by bending a metal wire rod steel having elasticity. The connecting member 74 is a C-shaped spring member having four corner portions 74a corresponding to substantially square edges. The connecting member 74 is attached to the inner circumferential surface of the projecting portion 75b by engaging the leg portion 74a in the annular groove formed in the inner circumferential surface of the projecting portion 75b. The connecting member 74 prevents the rim 66a from slipping off by the three arcuate portions 74b between the leg portions 74a contacting the rear surface of the rim portion 66a.

The nut portion 72 is a hexagon nut for example and coincides with the male thread portion 15b formed on the outer peripheral surface of the spool shaft 15 and compresses the spring member 73 in accordance with the rotation of the knob body 75 .

The first seal member 64 is, for example, a disk-shaped member made of synthetic rubber. The first seal member 64 is disposed between the inner peripheral surface of the mounting cylinder portion 53a of the support cylinder portion 53 of the spool 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 66b of the first member 66. [ The backward movement of the first seal member 64 is restricted by the stop ring 70 mounted on the annular groove 66d. The inner circumferential surface of the first seal member 64 is attached to the cylindrical portion 66b of the first member 66 and the outer circumferential portion thereof is in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the mounting cylinder portion 53a of the support cylindrical portion 53. [ Inside the first seal member 64, for example, a reinforcing plate 81 on a disk-like plate made of a stainless steel alloy is embedded. The reinforcing plate 81 is insert-molded in the mold when the first seal member 64 is molded. The outer circumferential portion of the first seal member 64 is formed with a lip portion 64a having an end surface tapered toward the front end that contacts the inner circumferential surface of the mounting tube portion 53a. The lip portion 64a is inclined forward. In the middle of the radial direction, an annular protruding portion 64b having a triangular cross section protruding forward is formed. And the annular projection 64b comes into contact with the back surface of the second seal member 65. [ The front surface of the lip portion 64a of the first seal member 64 is also in contact with the rear end of the outer circumferential surface of the second seal member 65. [

The second seal member 65 is a conventional member having, for example, a bottom made of synthetic rubber. The second seal member 65 is disposed between the first seal member 64 and the second member 67. The second seal member 65 includes a normal contact portion 65a which can be brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the projecting portion 75b of the handle body 75 of the second member 67 and a contact portion 65b formed on the inner peripheral side of the contact portion 65a, An annular concave portion 65b engaging with the rear end surface of the first member 66b and a disc portion 65c mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 66b of the first member 66. [

The second seal member 65 disposed between the first seal member 64 and the second member 67 is pressed against the projecting portion 75b of the second member 67 The gap between the first member 66 and the second member 67 is sealed by the second seal member 65. [ The spool 4 and the first member 66 are separated from each other by the first seal member 64 disposed between the spool 4 and the first member 66. Here, the second seal member 65 is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the projecting portion 75b of the handle body 75 of the second member 67 from the normal contact portion 65a. Therefore, when the first seal member 64 and the second seal member 65 are integrally formed, even if the first seal member 64 is pressed down by a hydraulic pressure, the second seal member 65 It becomes difficult to deform. Therefore, even if water pressure acts on the two seal members 64 and 65, it becomes difficult for liquid to flow into the interior of the drag handle assembly from between the first member 66 and the second member 67. [ In addition, since the first seal member and the second seal member are separate members, the second seal member 65 is more difficult to deform even if the first seal member 64 is deformed, It becomes difficult to further flow.

As shown in Fig. 10, the knob phonetic device 68 includes a sound outputting plate 69 having a sounding concave portion 69a, a striking pin movably movably mounted on the knob body 75 (an example of the striking member, And a coil spring 83 for urging the striking pin 82 toward the concave recess 69a. The striking pin 82 is a pin having a large diameter at the center and a small diameter at the tip and a rear end so that the tip is rounded in a hemispherical shape and the second member 67 and the first member 66 , The collision with the concave concave portion 69a is repeated and sounded.

The drag washer 62b is a metal disc member rotatable integrally with the spool 4. Like the drag washer 62a, the drag washer 62c is a disk member made of metal that is not rotatable with respect to the spool shaft 15. [ The drag washer 62d is a disk member made of, for example, felt or graphite rotatable with respect to the spool 4 and the spool shaft 15. [ At the center of the drag washers 62a and 62c, an elliptical locking slot 62e engaging with the locking surface 15a formed at the tip end side of the spool shaft 15 is formed. A plurality of (for example, eight) ear portions 62f projecting radially outward are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the drag washer 62b. These ear portions 62f are arranged on the inner circumferential surface of the drag receiving cylinder 52 at intervals in the circumferential direction and are engaged with a plurality of engagement concave portions 52a formed along the axial direction. As a result, the drag washer 62b can rotate integrally with the spool 4.

The drag washers 62a to 62d are prevented from being dislodged by the first support portion 56 that supports the support tube portion 53. [ Therefore, the release washers 62a to 62d can not be detached unless the release preventing spring 55 disposed in front of the support tube 53 is removed.

The drag phonetic device 85 is a mechanism that produces sound when the spool shaft 15 and the spool 4 rotate relative to each other by the operation of the drag. 8, a first sound emitting member 86 mounted on the rear surface of the rear flange portion 4h of the spool 4 and rotating integrally with the spool 4, And a second sound emitting member 87 which repeats the blow with respect to the first sound emitting member 86.

The first percussion member 86 is a metal member having a cylindrical shape with a rim and a plurality of arc-shaped concave portions 86a formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof. A name plate 88 is disposed on the rear face of the first sound emission member 86 and the first sound emission member 86 together with the name plate 88 is screwed to the back face of the rear flange portion 4h.

The second sound emitting member 87 includes two striking pins 87a that move toward and away from the striking concave portion 86a and two spring members 87b that push the two striking pins 87a toward the striking concave portion 86a. (87b). The striking pin 87a is accommodated in a common receiving member 89 engaging with the second holding surface 57d of the second supporting portion 57 in a non-rotatable manner. The housing member 89 includes a thick cylindrical main body 89a having two main grooves 89c for retractably receiving the key pins 87a, And has a disk-like cover 89b which engages with the second restricting surface 57d while screwing the stopping groove 89c. The two receiving grooves 89c of the receiving main body 89a are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the receiving main body 89a and are formed such that the interval between the two receiving grooves 89c on the opening side is narrowed. An engagement slot 89d engaged with the second engagement surface 57d is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cover 89b. A washer 101 is disposed between the housing member 89 and the support wall portion 4e of the spool 4.

The rear surface of the cover 89b is provided with three spool position adjusting washers 102 made of, for example, synthetic resin, which are engaged with the first locking surfaces 57c of the second supporting portions 57, Two regulating washers 103 and 104 for regulating the rearward movement are mounted. The regulating washers 103 and 104 are formed with retaining slots 103a and 104a engaged with the restricting faces 15a of the spool spindle 15 and are not rotatable with respect to the spool spindle 15. [ The regulating washer 104 is a stepped washer, and the regulating washer 103 seals the third seal member 105. [ The outer peripheral portion of the third seal member 105 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the first sound generating member 86. The third seal member 105 is provided to prevent the inflow of the liquid from the rear surface of the spool 4 into the spool 4 including the friction portion 62.

[Reel operation and operation]

Adjust the drag force to match the size and type of fish before fishing. To adjust the drag force, turn the drag handle assembly (61). The first member 66 is urged by the nut portion 72 engaged with the spool shaft 15 by the frictional portion 62 through the spring member 73 when the drag handle assembly 61 is rotated in the clockwise direction, . This increases the drag force. At this time, the relative rotation of the first member 66 and the second member 67 causes the impact pin 82 to repeatedly collide with the sounding concave portion 69a at predetermined intervals, resulting in clear and lively clicking sound .

At the time of casting, the bail arm 34 is reversed to the line-releasing posture. As a result, the first bail support member 40 and the second bail support member 42 rock. In this state, the fishing rod is cast while hooking the fishing line with the forefinger of the hand holding the fishing rod. The fishing line is then vigorously ejected by the weight of the preparation. When the handle assembly 1 is rotated in the line-winding direction in this state, the rotor 3 is rotated in the line-winding direction by the rotor driving mechanism 5 and the bail arm 34 is rotated by the bail- The fishing line moves from the bail 45 to the line roller 41 and is wound on the spool 4. [

When a large fish is caught and the load on the line roller 41 increases during fishing, there is a possibility that the fixed shaft 43 supported by the cantilever on the first bail support member 40 is slightly inclined by the fluctuation of the load. In this case, in this embodiment, since the fixing bolt 46 for fixing the fixing shaft 43 to the first bail support member 40 is stopped by the rotation stopping member 47, 46 are hardly loosened.

When the spinning reel is immersed in a water container containing fresh water after the fishing, the first seal member 64 may be pushed downward by the water pressure to be deformed backward. When the first seal member 64 tries to seal the gap between the first member 66 and the second member 67 by the deformation of the first seal member 64, There is a possibility that the liquid may flow into the liquid. However, in the present embodiment, since the normal contact portion 65a contacting the outer peripheral surface of the projecting portion 75b of the second member is provided in the second seal member 65, the first seal member 64 is deformed It is difficult for the liquid to intrude into the inside of the draw handle assembly 61. This makes it difficult for the liquid to flow into the friction portion 62 through the outer peripheral portion of the spool shaft 15 from the inside of the drag handle assembly 61. This makes it difficult for variation of the drag force due to wetting of the friction portion 62 to occur Loses.

[Other Embodiments]

(a) In the above embodiment, the first seal member 64 and the second seal member 65 are separately formed, but they may be integrally formed. Even in this case, the gap between the first member 66 and the second member 67 can be securely secured by the contact portion of the second seal member.

(b) In the above embodiment, the reinforcing plate 81 is embedded in the first seal member 64, but it is not necessary to bury the reinforcing plate. In this case, since the entire first seal member has elasticity, it may be mounted on an annular groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first member to prevent the first seal member from slipping out.
