Description

DUAL-BEARING FISHING REEL}

The present invention relates to a double bearing reel, particularly a double bearing reel that discharges fishing line forward.

In both bearing reels, a clutch mechanism is installed between the handle and the spool to transmit (on) and block (off) the rotation of the handle. In a double-bearing reel, it is known that the clutch mechanism switches alternately between the on and off states each time the clutch operating member is operated (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The double-bearing reel of Patent Document 1 has a clutch return mechanism that can return the clutch mechanism from the off state to the on state not only by operating the clutch operating member but also by rotating the handle in the line winding direction. The clutch return mechanism has one pin member attached to the rotation member of the reversal prohibition mechanism that prohibits reversal of the drive shaft. When the rotating member rotates in the line winding direction, the pin member presses the ratchet teeth and returns the clutch mechanism to the on state.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 04-281731

In the double bearing reel of Patent Document 1, the ratchet teeth are pressed by one pin member. For this reason, when the rotating member is stopped and the pin member is in a position where it has passed the ratchet teeth, in order to return the clutch mechanism to the on state with the handle, the handle must be turned nearly one turn. As a result, it is difficult to quickly return the clutch mechanism to the on state using the handle.

The object of the present invention is to enable the clutch mechanism to be quickly returned to the on state by either the clutch operating member or the handle in a two-bearing reel, regardless of the stop position of the rotating member.

The double bearing reel according to the present invention is a fishing reel that discharges the fishing line forward. The double-bearing reel includes a reel body having a rod mounting leg, a spool, a handle, a drive shaft, a clutch mechanism, a clutch operating member, a clutch control mechanism, and a clutch return mechanism. The spool is rotatably supported on the reel body via the spool axis. The handle is configured to rotate the spool. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the reel body and rotates in the line winding direction by a handle. The clutch mechanism is disposed between the handle and the spool. The clutch operating member is provided on the reel body so as to be movable from the first position to a second position opposite to the first position, and is pressed to the first position. The clutch control mechanism can alternately switch the clutch mechanism between the on and off states each time the clutch operating member is operated. The clutch control mechanism has a plurality of teeth arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface, and rotates a predetermined rotation phase in the first direction in accordance with the movement of the clutch operating member from the first position to the second position. Includes a clutch cam that rotates each time. The clutch return mechanism returns the clutch mechanism in the off state to the on state by rotating the handle in the string winding direction. The clutch return mechanism includes a rotation member connected to the drive shaft and having a plurality of protrusions on the outer peripheral surface that rotate the clutch cam in the first direction by pressing the teeth by rotation of the drive shaft in the line winding direction.

In this double-bearing reel, each time the clutch operating member is operated from the first position to the second position, the clutch mechanism is alternately switched between the on state and the off state. When the handle is rotated in the line winding direction when the clutch mechanism is in the off state, one of the plurality of protrusions presses the tooth portion to rotate the clutch cam in the first direction for a predetermined rotation phase. By this, the clutch cam moves to the clutch on position, and the clutch mechanism is in the on state. Here, a plurality of protrusions that press the teeth are provided on the rotating member. For this reason, regardless of the stop position of the rotating member, the clutch mechanism can be quickly returned to the on state either by the clutch operating member or the handle.

The rotating member may move so that the protruding portion separates from the toothed portion when the clutch cam rotates in the first direction by the clutch operating member. In this case, when the clutch cam rotates in the first direction by operating the clutch operating member, the protrusion does not interfere with the rotation of the clutch cam.

The rotating member may have a disk-shaped main body portion rotatably connected to the drive shaft as one piece. The protruding portion may be swingably connected to a pressing posture in which the teeth protrude to the outer peripheral side of the main body so as to be able to press, and a retracting posture closer to the outer peripheral side than the pressing posture. When the clutch cam rotates in the first direction, the protrusion may be pressed by the clutch cam and swing into a retracted posture. In this case, when the clutch cam rotates in the first direction, it is pressed by the clutch cam and the protrusion swings to the retracted position. For this reason, when the clutch cam rotates in the first direction by operating the clutch operating member, the protrusion does not interfere with the rotation of the clutch cam.

The rotating member may be rotatably connected to the drive shaft in the line winding direction within a predetermined angle range. In this case, when the clutch cam rotates in the first direction, even if the tooth portion contacts the protrusion, the rotating member rotates in the line winding direction, so the clutch cam can rotate in the first direction by operating the clutch operating member. When the protrusion does not interfere with the rotation of the clutch cam.

The clutch operating member is supported on the reel body so as to be movable in the vertical direction behind the spool, and the second position may be closer to the rod mounting leg than the first position. In this case, the on and off operation of the clutch mechanism is easy because the clutch mechanism can be turned on and off by the same pressing operation downward toward the pole mounting leg.

The clutch control mechanism may include a clutch yoke and a first pressing member. The clutch yoke engages the clutch mechanism and the clutch cam. The clutch yoke moves alternately between the clutch on position and the clutch off position along the axial direction of the spool by rotation at each predetermined rotation phase in the first direction of the clutch cam, and turns the clutch mechanism into the on and off states. It is okay to switch alternately. The first pressing member may press the clutch yoke toward the clutch-on position. The clutch cam may have a plurality of cam parts arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction in relation to a predetermined rotation phase and including an inclined cam surface with which the clutch yoke engages.

In this case, the clutch yoke is configured to move from the clutch on position to the clutch off position by the inclined cam surface, so that the clutch yoke is engaged with the inclined cam surface of the cam portion of the clutch cam by rotation of the clutch cam in the first direction. When doing so, the clutch yoke moves from the clutch on position to the clutch off position. Furthermore, when the clutch cam rotates in the first direction and the clutch yoke is removed from the inclined cam surface, the clutch yoke is pressed by the first pressing member and returns to the clutch-on position. Here, the clutch yoke alternately moves between the clutch on position and the clutch off position by rotation of the predetermined rotational phase in the first direction of the clutch cam, so that the clutch mechanism alternately switches between the on state and the off state.

The inclined cam surface is formed to gradually separate from the spool along the first direction, and the cam portion engages the side surface of the clutch yoke, and may move the clutch yoke from the clutch on position toward the clutch off position. In this case, the inclined cam surface allows the clutch yoke to be moved in a direction away from the spool, and the clutch yoke can be moved from the clutch on position to the clutch off position.

The clutch operating member may have a rotating part and an operating part. The rotating portion is supported on the reel body so that it can rotate around the spool axis. The operating unit is integrally and rotatably connected to the rotating unit. The clutch control mechanism may include a clutch detent and a second pressing member. The clutch detent is rotatably connected to the rotating portion to enable engagement and disengagement with the toothed portion, and engages the toothed portion to rotate the clutch cam in the first direction. The second pressing member presses the clutch detent toward the toothed portion.

In this case, when force is applied to the clutch operating member to move the clutch operating member from the first position to the second position, the rotating portion rotates, and the clutch detent pressed by the second pressing member engages with the toothed portion to engage the clutch cam. Rotate in the first direction. Additionally, when the force applied to the clutch operating member is released, the clutch operating member returns to the first position.

The clutch control mechanism may further include a phase positioning unit that positions the clutch cam for each predetermined rotation phase in the first direction. In this case, even if the clutch operating member 11 returns to the first position, the clutch cam can be positioned for each predetermined rotation phase.

The phase positioning unit may have a first positioning unit and a second positioning unit with which the clutch yoke engages. The first positioning portion may be disposed between the plurality of cam portions, and the second positioning portion may be disposed between the plurality of cam portions. In this case, since the clutch cam can be positioned for each predetermined rotation phase using the cam portion and the clutch yoke, the phase of the clutch cam can be positioned with a simple structure.

The two-bearing reel has a rotating member and a stop member that swings to an engaging position that engages one of the plurality of protrusions and a disengaged position that disengages from the protrusion, and has a reversal prohibition that prohibits rotation in a direction opposite to the line winding direction of the drive shaft. It is okay to provide additional equipment. In this case, the parts can be shared as a reversal prohibition mechanism and a clutch return mechanism.

The plurality of teeth may include a plurality of first teeth that can be engaged with the protrusions, and second teeth that are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction with the first teeth and cannot be engaged with the protrusions. In this case, it is possible to easily realize a configuration in which the rotation member does not interfere with rotation of the clutch cam in the first direction.

In the double-bearing reel, the clutch mechanism can be quickly returned to the on state either by the clutch operating member or the handle, regardless of the stop position of the rotating member.

The pinion gear 32 moves along the direction of the spool shaft 14 between the clutch-on position shown in FIG. 2 and the clutch-off position on the right side of FIG. 2 rather than the clutch-on position. In the clutch on position, the clutch pin 16a engages the clutch concave portion 16b, rotation of the pinion gear 32 is transmitted to the spool shaft 14, and the clutch mechanism 16 is in the on state. In this on state, the pinion gear 32 and the spool shaft 14 can rotate together. Additionally, in the clutch off position, the clutch concave portion 16b separates from the clutch pin 16a and rotation of the pinion gear 32 is not transmitted to the spool shaft 14. For this reason, the clutch mechanism 16 is turned off, and the spool 10 can rotate freely.

It rotates at each rotational phase (RP). The clutch cam 40 alternately switches between the clutch on position and the clutch off position at each predetermined rotational phase RP in the first direction R1. The clutch cam 40 is rotatably mounted on the first support portion 9c of the mechanism mounting plate 9b. As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 9, the clutch cam 40 has a plurality of ratchet teeth 40a (for example, 6 to 16, for example, 12 in the first embodiment). And, it has a plurality of cam portions 40b (for example, half the number of ratchet teeth 40a). The ratchet teeth 40a are an example of the tooth portion. The plurality of ratchet teeth 40a are serrated teeth arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the clutch cam 40. The predetermined rotation phase (RP) is determined by the number of ratchet teeth (40a). In the first embodiment, since the number of ratchet teeth 40a is 12, the predetermined rotational phase RP is 30 degrees.

As shown in FIG. 8, the ratchet tooth 40a has first ratchet teeth 40c and second ratchet teeth 40d arranged alternately at intervals in the circumferential direction. The first ratchet tooth 40c is thicker than the second ratchet tooth 40d. In the first embodiment, the thickness of the first ratchet tooth 40c is the same as the thickness of the clutch cam 40. The thickness of the second ratchet tooth (40d) is half the thickness of the first ratchet tooth (40c). The second ratchet teeth 40d cannot engage with the protruding portion 52a of the rotating member 52.

As schematically shown in FIG. 9, the cam portions 40b are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction in a phase PS related to a predetermined rotation phase RP. In the first embodiment, the phase PS of the cam portion 40b is twice the predetermined rotation phase RP, for example, 60 degrees. The cam portion 40b includes a first inclined cam surface 40e, a second inclined cam surface 40f, and a flat surface 40g with which the clutch yoke 41 engages. The first inclined cam surface 40e is an example of an inclined cam surface. The first inclined cam surface 40e is an inclined cam surface on the upstream side of the rotational direction in the first direction R1, and is formed to gradually separate from the spool 10 along the first direction R1.

The second inclined cam surface 40f is an inclined cam surface on the downstream side of the rotational direction of the first direction R1, and is formed to gradually approach the spool 10 along the first direction R1. The second inclined cam surface 40f is configured to prevent the clutch yoke 41 from moving suddenly when returning the clutch yoke 41 from the clutch off position to the clutch on position by the second spring member 42. . Therefore, the second inclined cam surface 40f does not need to be installed. The flat surface 40g is disposed between the first inclined cam surface 40e and the second inclined cam surface 40f. The flat surface 40g is a flat surface parallel to the side surface of the clutch cam 40. The flat surface 40g is configured to hold the clutch yoke 41 in the clutch off position.

The second spring member 42 is mounted on each of the two guide shafts 49a. The two second spring members 42 are mounted on the guide shaft 49a in a compressed state between the inner surface of the first side cover 8a and the clutch yoke 41.

＜Clutch detent＞

As shown in FIG. 4, the clutch pawl 44 is connected to the rotating portion 18 of the clutch operating member 11 so as to be swingable so as to be engaged and disengaged with the ratchet teeth 40a. As described above, the clutch pawl 44 is rotatably supported on the support shaft 18f provided on the pawl mounting portion 18e of the rotating portion 18. The clutch pawl 44 rotates the clutch cam 40 in the first direction R1 by a predetermined rotational phase RP by moving the clutch operating member 11 from the first position to the second position. I order it. The clutch pawl 44 engages with either the first ratchet tooth 40c or the second ratchet tooth 40d of the ratchet tooth 40a to press the clutch cam 40 in the first direction R1. . The clutch pawl 44 has a swing support portion 44a supported on the support shaft 18f, and a pawl portion 44b extending radially from the swing support portion 44a. When the clutch operating member 11 is operated from the first position to the second position, the tip of the detent portion 44b contacts the root portion of the ratchet tooth 40a, and presses the clutch cam 40 to move in the first direction ( Rotate with R1). The clutch pawl 44 is prevented from falling off with respect to the support shaft 18f by a screw member 53 that is screwed into the distal end of the support shaft 18f.

＜Third spring member＞

As shown in Fig. 4, the third spring member 48 presses the clutch detent 44 toward the ratchet teeth 40a. The third spring member 48 is, for example, a torsion coil spring. One end of the third spring member 48 is hooked on the detent portion 44b, and the other end is hooked on the second spring hook portion 18g provided on the detent mounting portion 18e. The third spring member 48 is mounted on the clutch detent 44 with both ends extended compared to the free state.

＜Phase positioning unit＞

The phase positioning unit 46 is configured to position the clutch cam 40 for each predetermined rotation phase RP in the first direction R1. As shown in FIG. 9, the phase positioning portion 46 is disposed on the cam portion 40b and is positioned between the first positioning portion 46a concavely formed in the cam portion 40b and the cam portion 40b. It has a second positioning portion 46b disposed. The first positioning portion 46a engages the cam receiving portion 41c of the clutch yoke 41 mounted on the first inclined cam surface 40e of the cam portion 40b to move the clutch cam 40 at each phase PS. Decide on location. Accordingly, the first positioning portion 46a positions the clutch cam 40 when the clutch yoke 41 moves from the clutch on position to the clutch off position. The second positioning portion 46b engages the cam receiving portion 41c of the clutch yoke 41 lowered from the cam portion 40b and positions the clutch cam 40 for each phase PS. Accordingly, the second positioning portion 46b positions the clutch cam 40 when the clutch yoke 41 moves from the clutch off position to the clutch on position. Accordingly, the clutch cam 40 as a whole is positioned for each predetermined rotation phase RP.

Here, since the clutch cam 40 is positioned using the cam portion 40b and the clutch yoke 41, the configuration of the phase positioning portion 46 is simple.

In the clutch control mechanism 20 configured as described above, when the clutch operation member 11 is pressed from the first position to the second position, the clutch mechanism 16 is alternately switched between the on state and the off state. Additionally, when the pressing operation of the clutch operating member 11 is stopped, the first spring member 51 returns the clutch operating member 11 to the first position. At this time, the clutch pawl 44 is pressed by the ratchet teeth 40a and swings to a different position, and when it returns to the first position, it engages the ratchet teeth 40a.

＜Clutch return mechanism＞

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the clutch return mechanism 22 is connected to the drive shaft 30 and performs the above-mentioned rotation that presses the ratchet teeth 40a by rotation of the drive shaft 30 in the line winding direction. Includes member 52. The rotating member 52 has a plurality of protrusions 52a and a connection hole 52b. The plurality of (for example, seven) protrusions 52a are configured to rotate the clutch cam 40 in the first direction R1. The protrusions 52a are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction. As described above, the protrusion 52a cannot engage with the second ratchet tooth 40d of the ratchet tooth 40a, but can only engage with the first ratchet tooth 40c. The protrusion 52a has a first corner 52c on the upstream side in the line winding direction WD of the drive shaft 30, and a second corner 52d on the downstream side in the line winding direction WD. For example, the first corner 52c is formed at an acute angle, and the second corner 52d is formed at an obtuse angle. Additionally, the first leg portion 52c is disposed further away from the rotation center RC of the drive shaft 30 than the second leg portion 52d. Specifically, the first leg portion 52c is formed to be able to contact the first ratchet teeth 40c, and the second leg portion 52d is formed to be unable to contact the first ratchet teeth 40c. As a result, an inclined pressure surface 52e connecting the first corner 52c and the second corner 52d is formed. The pressure surface 52e of this configuration becomes an inclined cam surface whose distance from the rotation center RC is greater on the upstream side in the line winding direction WD than on the downstream side. Therefore, when the pressing surface 52e presses the first ratchet tooth 40c, it becomes difficult for the protruding portion 52a to be driven into the first ratchet tooth 40c, and the stack of the rotary member 52 due to being driven in, etc. It becomes difficult for defects to occur.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the clutch mechanism 16 is in the off state in which the clutch yoke 41 rests on the cam portion 40b, the first ratchet tooth 40c is closest to the rotating member 52. placed in one location. Additionally, when the clutch yoke 41 is disposed between the cam portions 40b and is in the on state, the second ratchet tooth 40d is disposed at a position closest to the rotation member 52. Therefore, when the clutch mechanism 16 is in the off state, when the drive shaft 30 rotates in the line winding direction WD by the handle 2, the pressing surface 52e presses the first ratchet tooth 40c. Thus, the clutch cam 40 is rotated in the first direction (R1). Additionally, when the clutch is in the on state, the pressing surface 52e of the protruding portion 52a does not rotate the clutch cam 40 in the first direction R1.

Additionally, the rotation member 52 moves so that the protrusion 52a separates from the ratchet teeth 40a when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1 by the clutch operation member 11. In order to realize this, the connection hole 52b connected to the drive shaft 30 of the rotating member 52 has a predetermined angle range A with respect to the drive shaft 30 (the predetermined angle range A is 15 degrees). to 35 degrees, and in the first embodiment, 25 degrees) and is rotatably mounted.

The connecting hole 52b engages with the first straight portion 30a and has four second straight portions 52f that are shorter than the first straight portion, and engages with the first arcuate portion 30b and also has a first arcuate portion. It has four second arc portions 52g that are longer than 30b, and four third straight portions 52h connecting the second arc portions 52g and the second straight portions 52f. Accordingly, when the rotation member 52 rotates due to the rotation of the drive shaft 30, the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 8 is reached, and the second straight portion 52f is aligned with the first straight portion 30a. It is related to When the first ratchet tooth 40c presses the protrusion 52a due to rotation of the clutch cam 40 in the first direction R1, the rotary member 52 moves the drive shaft in a predetermined angle range A. 8 rotates clockwise with respect to 30, for example, and the protrusion 52a moves away from the first ratchet tooth 40c, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 8. At this time, since the second ratchet tooth 40d has a thickness that does not contact the protrusion 52a, the second ratchet tooth 40d does not rotate the rotation member 52.

In the clutch return mechanism 22 of this configuration, when the clutch mechanism 16 is turned off by the clutch operating member 11 and the handle 2 is rotated in the line winding direction, the drive shaft 30 is moved to the line winding direction. Rotates in the winding direction (WD). When the drive shaft 30 rotates in the line winding direction WD, the rotating member 52 rotates in the line winding direction, and the pressure surface 52e of the protrusion 52a presses the first ratchet tooth 40c. The clutch cam 40 is rotated in the first direction R1 by a predetermined rotation phase RP. As a result, the clutch yoke 41 moves down the second inclined cam surface 40f from the flat surface 40g, is disposed between the cam portions 40b, and the clutch mechanism 16 is turned on.

In addition, when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1 by operating the clutch operating member 11 from the first position to the second position, the ratchet teeth 40a contact the protrusion 52a. Even so, the rotation member 52 rotates in the line winding direction WD within a predetermined angle range A with respect to the drive shaft 30. For this reason, when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1 by operating the clutch operating member 11, the protrusion 52a does not interfere with the rotation of the clutch cam 40.

＜Overall operation of both bearing reels＞

When fishing, the clutch operating member 11 is pressed from the first position to the second position, and the clutch mechanism 16 is turned off. As a result, the fishing line is released by the tackle's own weight, and the spool 10 rotates in the line release direction.

When the rig reaches the fish habitat location where fish are concentrated, the handle (2) is rotated in the line winding direction (WD). As a result, as described above, the protruding portion 52a of the rotating member 52 presses the first ratchet tooth 40c of the clutch cam 40, thereby rotating the clutch cam 40 to a predetermined rotational phase (RP). Rotate as much as As a result, the clutch yoke 41 pressed by the second spring member 42 goes down the second inclined cam surface 40f of the cam portion 40b and is disposed between the cam portions 40b. As a result, the pinion gear 32 approaches the spool 10, the clutch recess 16b engages the clutch pin 16a, and the clutch mechanism 16 is turned on. Additionally, in the present invention, the clutch mechanism 16 can be returned from the off state to the on state even when the clutch operating member 11 is operated from the first position to the second position.

＜Second Example＞

In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 10, 11, and 12, when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1 by the clutch operating member 11, a plurality (for example, three to three) The configuration in which any one of the eight (eight, five in the second embodiment) protrusions 152a moves away from the ratchet teeth 40a is different from the first embodiment. Specifically, the configuration of the rotating member 152 of the clutch return mechanism 122 is different from that of the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the rotation member 152 does not constitute a reversal prohibition mechanism.

The rotation member 152 has a disk-shaped body portion 153 that is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 30. The plurality of protruding portions 152a are oscillateably connected to a pressing posture in which the ratchet teeth 40a are protruded to press the outer peripheral side of the main body 153 and a retracting posture closer to the outer peripheral side than the pressing posture. The protrusion 152a is pressed into the pressing position by a pressing member (not shown). The pressing member is composed of, for example, an elastic member such as a torsion coil spring, a plate spring, or a coil spring. When the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1, the protrusion 152a is attached to the ratchet tooth 40a even if the ratchet tooth 40a of the clutch cam 40 contacts the protrusion 152a. By being pressed, the protrusion 152a swings to the retracted position. For this reason, when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1 by operating the clutch operating member 11, the protrusion 152a does not interfere with the rotation of the clutch cam 40.

Additionally, a plurality of protrusions 152a that press the ratchet teeth 40a are provided to be able to swing on the main body 153 of the rotary member 152. For this reason, regardless of the stop position of the rotating member 152, the clutch mechanism 16 can be quickly returned to the on state either by the clutch operating member 11 or by the handle 2.

＜Features＞

The above example can be expressed as follows.

The double-bearing reel 100 includes a reel body 1 having a rod mounting leg 7e, a spool 10, a handle 2, a drive shaft 30, a clutch mechanism 16, and a clutch. It is provided with an operating member 11, a clutch control mechanism 20, and a clutch return mechanism 22. The spool 10 is rotatably supported on the reel body 1. The handle 2 is configured to rotate the spool 10. The drive shaft 30 is rotatably mounted on the reel body 1 and rotates in the line winding direction by the handle 2. The clutch mechanism 16 is disposed between the handle 2 and the spool 10. The clutch operating member 11 is installed on the reel body 1 so as to be movable from the first position to a second position different from the first position, and is pressed to the first position. The clutch control mechanism 20 can alternately switch the clutch mechanism 16 between the on and off states each time the clutch operating member 11 is operated. The clutch control mechanism 20 has a plurality of ratchet teeth 40a arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface, and is used to move the clutch operation member 11 from the first position to the second position. Accordingly, it includes a clutch cam 40 that rotates at each predetermined rotational phase (RP) in the first direction (R1). The clutch return mechanism 22 returns the clutch mechanism 16 in the off state to the on state by rotating the handle 2 in the line winding direction. The clutch return mechanism 22 is connected to the drive shaft 30, and presses the ratchet teeth 40a by rotation of the drive shaft 30 in the line winding direction WD to move the clutch cam 40 in the first direction (R1). ) and includes a rotation member 52 having a plurality of protrusions 52a on the outer peripheral surface for rotation.

In this double bearing reel 100, the clutch mechanism 16 is alternately switched between the on state and the off state each time the clutch operating member 11 is operated from the first position to the second position. When the handle 2 is rotated in the line winding direction when the clutch mechanism 16 is in the off state, one of the plurality of protrusions 52a presses the ratchet tooth 40a to move the clutch cam 40 into a predetermined rotational phase. Rotate in the first direction (R1) by (RP). As a result, the clutch cam 40 moves to the clutch on position, and the clutch mechanism 16 enters the on state. Here, a plurality of protrusions 52a that press the ratchet teeth 40a are provided on the rotating member 52. For this reason, regardless of the stop position of the rotating member 52, the clutch mechanism 16 can be quickly returned to the on state either by the clutch operating member 11 or by the handle 2.

(B) The rotation member 52 moves so that the protrusion 52a separates from the ratchet teeth 40a when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1 by the clutch operation member 11.

(C) The rotation member 152 may have a disk-shaped main body portion 153 that is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 30. The protruding portion 152a may be oscillatedly connected to a pressing posture in which the ratchet teeth 40a protrude to the outer peripheral side of the main body 153 to enable pressing, and a retraction posture closer to the outer peripheral side than the pressing posture. When the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1, the protrusion 152a may be pressed by the clutch cam 40 and swing into a retracted posture. In this case, when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1, it is pressed by the clutch cam 40 and the protrusion 152a swings to the retracted position. For this reason, when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1 by operating the clutch operating member 11, the protrusion 152a does not interfere with the rotation of the clutch cam 40.

(D) The rotation member 52 may be rotatably connected to the drive shaft 30 in the line winding direction WD within a predetermined angle range A. In this case, when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1, even if the ratchet teeth 40a contact the protrusion 52a, the rotating member 52 rotates in the line winding direction WD. Therefore, when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction by operating the clutch operating member 11, the protrusion 52a does not interfere with the rotation of the clutch cam 40.

(E) The clutch operating member 11 is supported on the reel body 1 so as to be movable in the vertical direction at the rear of the spool 10, and the second position is closer to the rod mounting leg portion 7e than the first position. It's okay too. In this case, since the clutch mechanism 16 can be turned on and off with the same downward pressure operation toward the pole mounting leg portion 7e, the on and off operation of the clutch mechanism 16 is easy.

(F) The clutch control mechanism 20 may include a clutch yoke 41 and a second spring member 42. The clutch yoke 41 engages the clutch mechanism 16 and the clutch cam 40.

It may be possible to alternately move between positions and alternately switch the clutch mechanism 16 between the on and off states. The second spring member 42 may press the clutch yoke 41 toward the clutch-on position. The clutch cam 40 is arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction in relation to a predetermined rotation phase RP and includes a plurality of cam portions 40b including a first inclined cam surface 40e with which the clutch yoke 41 engages. It is okay to have it.

In this case, the clutch yoke 41 is configured to move from the clutch-on position to the clutch-off position by the first inclined cam surface 40e, so that the rotation of the clutch cam 40 in the first direction R1 As a result, when the clutch yoke 41 engages with the first inclined cam surface 40e of the cam portion 40b of the clutch cam 40, the clutch yoke 41 moves from the clutch on position to the clutch off position. Furthermore, when the clutch cam 40 rotates in the first direction R1 and the clutch yoke 41 is removed from the first inclined cam surface 40e, the clutch yoke 41 is pressed by the second spring member 42 to engage the clutch. Returns to where it came from. Here, since the clutch yoke 41 moves alternately between the clutch on position and the clutch off position due to rotation of the predetermined rotation phase RP in the first direction R1 of the clutch cam 40, the clutch mechanism ( 16) is switched alternately between the on and off states.

(G) The first inclined cam surface 40e is formed to gradually separate from the spool 10 along the first direction R1, and the cam portion 40b is engaged with the side surface of the clutch yoke 41. (41) may be moved from the clutch on position to the clutch off position. In this case, by the first inclined cam surface 40e, the clutch yoke 41 can be moved in a direction away from the spool 10, and the clutch yoke 41 can be moved from the clutch on position to the clutch off position. You can.

(H) The clutch operating member 11 may include a rotating portion 18 and an operating portion 19. The rotating portion 18 is supported on the reel body 1 so as to be rotatable around the axis of the spool shaft 14. The operation unit 19 is integrally and rotatably connected to the rotation unit 18 . The clutch control mechanism 20 may include a clutch detent 44 and a third spring member 48. The clutch detent 44 is rotatably connected to the ratchet tooth 40a on the rotating part so as to be engaged and disengaged, and engages the ratchet tooth 40a to move the clutch cam 40 in the first direction R1. Bring it to a meeting. The third spring member 48 presses the clutch detent 44 toward the ratchet teeth 40a.

In this case, when force is applied to the clutch operating member 11 to move the clutch operating member 11 from the first position to the second position, the rotating portion 18 rotates, and the third spring member 48 The pressed clutch detent 44 engages the ratchet teeth 40a to rotate the clutch cam 40 in the first direction R1. Additionally, when the force applied to the clutch operating member 11 is released, the clutch operating member 11 pressed by the third spring member 48 returns to the first position.

(I) The clutch control mechanism 20 may further include a phase positioning unit 46 that positions the clutch cam 40 for each predetermined rotation phase RP in the first direction R1. do. In this case, even if the clutch operating member 11 returns to the first position, the clutch cam 40 can be positioned for each predetermined rotation phase.

(J) The phase positioning portion 46 may include a first positioning portion 46a and a second positioning portion 46b with which the clutch yoke 41 engages. The first positioning portion 46a may be disposed between the plurality of cam portions 40b, and the second positioning portion 46b may be disposed between the plurality of cam portions 40b. In this case, since the clutch cam 40 can be positioned for each predetermined rotation phase (RP) using the cam portion 40b and the clutch yoke 41, the phase of the clutch cam 40 can be adjusted with a simple structure. Location can be determined.

(K) Both bearing reels 100 have a rotary member 52 and a detent member 54 that swings between an engaging position engaging with any one of the plurality of protrusions 52a and a disengaged position disengaging from the protrusions 52a. ), and may further be provided with a reversal prohibition mechanism 34 that prohibits rotation of the drive shaft 30 in a direction opposite to the line winding direction.
