The present invention relates to a connecting member, and more particularly to a connecting member of a fishing reel used in a fishing reel and connected to a non-circular portion formed on the outer periphery of the shaft member in a relatively non-rotatable manner. BACKGROUND ART [0002] A fishing reel such as a spinning reel or a double-bearing reel is provided with a drag mechanism for preventing the fishing line from being cut due to an excessive tensile force acting on the fishing line. The conventional drag mechanism has, for example, a first drag washer, which is non-rotatably connected to a spool shaft (an example of a shaft member) in the case of a spinning reel, and a second drag washer, , Brakes the spool. Further, in the case of a double-bearing reel, a drag washer (an example of a linking member) connected to a handle shaft (an example of a shaft member) in a non-rotatable manner and brakes a main gear connected to the spool by the drag washer.

Both the spinning reel and both bearing reel have formed on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft member a pair of chamfered portions (an example of the non-circular portion) parallel to each other for non-rotatably connecting the drag washer. In the drag washer, a non-circular hole engaging with the non-circular portion is formed at the center.

In this type of drag mechanism, when the liquid enters (enters) the friction surface of the drag washer, the drag force of the drag mechanism may fluctuate. Therefore, it is conventionally known that a seal member is disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the pressing member of the drag handle that contacts the first drag washer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The drag handle of the conventional drag mechanism has a pushing member (an example of the linking member) having a non-circular hole that engages non-rotatably with the non-circular portion and is connected to the spool shaft in a relatively non-rotatable manner, And an operating member that screws the shaft. A seal member is disposed between the pressing member and the spool. This seal member can prevent the liquid from entering the drag mechanism from the clearance between the spool and the outer peripheral surface of the drag handle.

According to the above-described conventional arrangement, it is possible to prevent the liquid from intruding from the gap between the spool and the outer circumferential surface of the pressing member of the drag handle. However, it is difficult to prevent the liquid from intruding from the gap between the center portion of the pressing member and the spool shaft. That is, since the pressing member is provided with the non-circular hole, it is difficult to seal the gap between the non-circular hole and the outer peripheral surface of the spool shaft. If the seal member engaged with the noncircular portion is disposed between the noncircular hole and the noncircular portion, sealing can be performed. However, when the force acts on the pressing member through the first drag washer as in the drag operation, the thread member may be deformed.

Here, since the non-circular hole engaging with the non-circular portion and the sealing member sealingly contacting the non-circular portion are arranged side by side in the axial direction, the gap between the shaft member and the connecting member can be surely sealed, Therefore, deformation of the seal member can be suppressed when a force acts on the connecting member as in the drag operation. In this case, the non-circular portion can be formed precisely by processing, and the non-circular hole can be formed with high precision by molding.
The connecting member of the fishing reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is a member used for a fishing reel and is non-rotatably connected to a non-circular portion formed on the outer periphery of the shaft member, and includes a body member and a seal member.

The thread hole 71a has the same elliptical shape as the non-circular hole 70c. At an intermediate position in the axial direction of the thread hole 71a, an annular lip 71b which is smaller than the non-circular hole 70c and has a pointed tip is formed. The lip portion 71b is formed so as to be in contact with the entire surface of the non-circular portion 8c.

Since the noncircular hole 70c engaged with the noncircular portion 8c and the seal member 71 sealed in contact with the noncircular portion 8c are arranged side by side in the axial direction as described above, It is possible to surely seal the non-circular gap which is difficult to be sealed by the pressing member 61 which is a member and the non-circular hole 70c to be engaged with the non-circular portion 8c, . In addition, since the gap on the outer peripheral side of the pressing member 61 is also sealed by the seal ring 72, the liquid is less likely to enter the drag storage space 7j. Further, since the lip portion 71b is provided on the seal member 71, the sliding resistance with the spool support shaft 8 is reduced, the pressing member 61 can be smoothly attached and detached, and the drag adjusting portion 57 The drag force decreases smoothly when rotated in the unwinding direction.

Between the operating member 60 and the pressing member 61 is mounted a drag handle phonetic device 54 which is pronounced when the operating member 60 is rotated to adjust the drag.

The friction portion 58 is mounted between the pressing member 61 and the mounting disc portion 7e of the spool main body 7 as shown in Fig. The friction portion 58 includes first disks 76a and 76b that are non-rotatably connected to the non-circular portion 8c of the spool support shaft 8 and first and second disks 76a and 76b that are connected to the inner circumferential surface of the winding body 7a, A first disk 76b and a mounting disk 7e disposed between the two first disks 76a and 76b and the second disk 77 and the first disk 76b and the mounting disk 7e, (78). The first disk 76a is in contact with the pressing member 61 and is pressed by the pressing member 61. [ Since the first disk 76a is not rotatable with respect to the spool support shaft 8, the first disk 76a does not rotate relative to the pressing member 61. [ A seal member 71 is in contact with the front surface of the first disk 76a. The second disk 77 is non-rotatably connected to the winding body 7a by being engaged with the engaging groove 7g with the ears 77a protruding in the radial direction. The friction portion (58) is provided by a spring spring (73).

<Reel operation and operation>

This spinning reel transfers the bail arm 40 to the yarn releasing posture at the time of casting or the like. As a result, the fishing line is discharged sequentially from the front end side of the spool 4 due to its own weight. At this time, since the flange protection ring 25 having a large specific gravity made of hard material is disposed on the outer peripheral portion where the flange portion 7c is likely to be damaged by contact with the fishing line, the abrasion resistance and durability of the outer peripheral portion of the flange portion 7c can be maintained .

When the line is wound, the bail arm 40 is returned to the line-winding posture side. This is automatically performed by the function of the bail inversion mechanism (not shown) when the handle assembly 1 is rotated in the line-winding direction. The rotational force of the handle assembly 1 is transmitted to the pinion gear 12 through the master gear shaft 10 and the master gear 11. [ The rotational force transmitted to the pinion gear 12 is transmitted from the front portion 12a to the rotor 3 and is transmitted to the oscillating mechanism 6 via the intermediate gear 23 engaged with the pinion gear 12 through the speed reduction mechanism . As a result, the rotor 3 rotates in the line winding direction, and the spool 4 reciprocates back and forth.

When the fish is caught in the preparation, the drag mechanism 9 is operated by the force of bite of the fish, and the spool 4 may reverse. The first disks 76a and 76b are not rotatable with respect to the spool support shaft 8 and the second disk 77 is not rotatable with respect to the spool 4 during the drag operation, A slip occurs between the first disks 76a and 76b and the second disk 77. [ The drag force at this time is determined by the pressing force of the pressing member 61 to the first disk 76a, which is set by rotating the operating member 60 of the drag adjusting unit 57. [

When the spinning reel is dipped in water, for example, when the spinning reel is dipped in a bucket filled with water, the water tries to infiltrate into the drag storage space 7j in the spool 4. However, the space between the inner peripheral portion of the pressing member 61, which is the gap on the inner peripheral side of the drag storage space 7j, and the spool support shaft 8 is sealed by the seal member 71, The space between the inner circumferential surface of the winding body portion 7a and the inner circumferential surface of the winding body portion 7a is sealed by the seal ring 72. This makes it possible to reliably prevent the liquid from intruding into the drag storage space 7j.

Further, since the spool 4 having the drag mechanism 9 can be attached and detached by the one-touch removal mechanism 65, it is not necessary to rotate the operation member 60 at the time of detachment. Therefore, even if the spool 4 is detached, the setting of the drag force does not change. Therefore, the drag force and the size of the fishing line can be appropriately set for the plurality of spools 4 in accordance with the fish species to be fishing.

<Other Embodiments>

(a) In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described by way of example of a pushing member mounted on a spool of a heart-shaped spinning reel, which can be detached by one-touch, but the connecting member of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the present invention can also be applied to a pressing member or a first disk which is mounted directly on the spool shaft in a non-rotatable manner.

(b) In the above embodiment, the seal member 71 is formed integrally with the body member 70 by insertion molding. However, the seal member may be separately provided on the body member.

(c) In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a connecting member that is non-rotatably mounted on a handle shaft or a spool shaft of both bearing reels, although the present invention has been described by taking the pressing member of a spinning reel as an example. In Fig. 8, a star drag mechanism 109 is mounted on the handle shaft 110 as a shaft member of both bearing reels. The star drag mechanism 109 brakes the rotation of the spool 112 in the line-releasing direction through the main gear 120. The star drag mechanism 109 includes a star drag 103 as an operating member for screwing the handle shaft 110, a drag washer 161 as an example of the connecting member that is non-rotatably mounted on the handle shaft, And a drag disk 162 disposed between the main gear 120 and the main gear 120. [ The handle shaft 110 has a non-circular portion 110b having a pair of chamfer portions 110a parallel to each other on the outer peripheral surface. The handle shaft 110 is prohibited from rotating in the line-discharging direction by the one-way clutch 125 mounted on the reel unit 102, and only the line-winding direction is rotatable.

The drag washer 161 rotatably engages with the non-circular portion 110b and integrally rotates with the handle shaft 110. The drag washer 161 also rotates integrally with the non-circular portion 110b so that the inner ring 125a of the one- And a seal member 171 having a seal hole 171a arranged in the axial direction in the non-circular hole 170a. The non-circular hole 170a has the same pair of engagement surfaces (not shown) as the embodiment described above, which engages the chamfered portion 110a in a non-rotatable manner. The inner ring 125a of the one-way clutch 125 has an engaging recess (not shown) which engages with a pair of engaging projections 125b projecting inward in the axial direction, in addition to the engagement surface. Thus, the inner ring 125a can rotate integrally with the handle shaft 110 as well. In addition, the thread hole 171a is formed so as to be in contact with the entire periphery of the outer circumferential surface of the handle shaft 110 without having a recess along the engagement concave portion. The seal member 171 is an elastic member having the same material as the above embodiment, and has a lip portion not shown in the seal hole 171a. The seal member 171 is integrally formed on the body member 170 by insert molding. The seal member 171 is formed so as not to come into contact with the main gear 120 which is disposed adjacent to the drag washer 161 and relatively rotates during the drag operation. Since the seal member 171 is disposed so as not to be in contact with the adjacent member relatively rotating, friction force is not generated in the seal member 171 even if the drag washer 161, which is a connecting member, and the adjacent member are rotated relative to each other. Therefore, damage or peeling of the seal member due to the generation of the frictional force can be reliably prevented.

The drag washer 161 having the above-described structure also has the same effect as the above embodiment.

(d) Although the present invention has been described by way of example in connection with the connecting member (pressing member or drag washer) provided in the drag mechanism in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the pinion gear of the spinning reel To the inner ring of the rotor and the one-way clutch which are connected to each other in a relatively non-rotatable manner.

In Fig. 9, the pinion gear 12 is a normal member through which the spool shaft 15 can pass, and is rotatable with respect to the spool shaft 15. As shown in Fig. The spool shaft 15 is rotatably supported by the pinion gear 12 so as to be movable in the axial direction. The pinion gear 12 has a chamfered portion 12c as a non-circular portion 12b on its outer circumferential surface. The chamfered portion 12c is formed from the front portion 12a of the pinion gear 12 to the immediately front side of the gear portion 12d.

An inner ring (an example of the linking member) 253 of the one-way clutch 51 of the reverse rotation preventing mechanism 50 is connected to the pinion gear 12 in a relatively non-rotatable manner. A cap member 257 for assisting the yarn is interposed between the inner ring 253 and the boss portion 42 of the rotor 3. The cap member 257 is mounted so as to cover the outer circumferential surface and end surface of the end portion of the boss portion 42 of the rotor 3 and is disposed to be engaged with the inner ring 253 and the boss portion 42. The inner ring 253 has a body member 255 having a non-circular hole 255a engaged with the chamfered portion 12c and a seal member 256a having a thread hole 256a arranged in the axial direction in the non- (256). The non-circular hole 255a has a pair of engagement surfaces (not shown) which are the same as those of the embodiment described above, which engage with the chamfered portion 12c in a non-rotatable manner. The seal member 256 is an elastic member having the same material as the above embodiment, and has a lip portion not shown in the seal hole 256a. The seal member 256 is integrally formed on the body member 255 by insert molding. The body member 255 is in contact with the cap member 257, thereby preventing deformation of the seal member 256 when the nut 33 is tightened.

A cover plate 258, which is disposed in front of the one-way clutch 51 and prevents the inner ring 253 from falling off, is provided with a washer- (Not shown). The outer peripheral side of the actual plate 259 is attached to the inner periphery of the cover plate 258 and the inner peripheral side having a lip tapering toward the end is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cap member 257.

By mounting the inner ring 253 having such a configuration in the pinion gear 12, it is possible to prevent the liquid from entering the inside of the reel unit 2 from the gap between the inner ring 253 and the pinion gear 12 . Particularly, since the inner ring 253 is formed by machining without molding, machining cost increases when machining the non-circular hole 255a into the same shape as the non-circular portion. For this reason, the non-circular hole 255a is formed as a rectangular hole with a rounded corner having an engaging surface that normally engages with the chamfered portion 12c. In this case, the clearance between the pinion gear and the outer circumferential surface of the pinion gear becomes large, and the liquid tends to intrude. Therefore, by installing such a seal member 256, it is possible to prevent the liquid from intruding. This embodiment also achieves the same effect as the above embodiment.

According to the present invention, since the non-circular hole engaged with the non-circular portion and the seal member which is hermetically sealed in contact with the non-circular portion are arranged side by side in the axial direction, the gap between the shaft member and the connecting member can be reliably sealed, Since the circular hole engages with the non-circular portion, deformation of the seal member can be suppressed when a force acts on the connecting member as in the drag operation.
