Description

Display device for fishing reel {Display device for fishing reel}

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

In general, 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 position of the swimming layer of the fish, the water depth of the current bundle of fishing needles, and the like.

Such a display device includes a fixed member having various electrical components, a movable member provided to be openable and closed with respect to the fixed member, and a connecting means for connecting the fixed member and the movable member. It is disclosed in JP-A 2-36976.

In the conventional display device, when the movable member is closed with respect to the stationary member, the surface that does not face the stationary member of the movable member, that is, the upper surface is located on the same plane as the reel main body. For this reason, the movable member is accommodated together with the fixing member in a narrow space above the spool inside the reel unit. In order to accommodate a movable member in such a narrow space, it is necessary to form the thickness of a movable member thinly. If the thickness of the movable member is formed thin, it is difficult to secure a space for accommodating electrical parts and the like connected to the display unit.

An object of the present invention is to sufficiently secure a storage space of a movable member in a fishing reel having an openable display device.

A display device for fishing reels according to the first invention is a display device for fishing reels that is installed on a reel main body rotatably supporting a spool and displays the depth of the bundle of fishing needles. A movable member having a fixing member having a fixing member, a display member which is installed to be opened and closed with respect to the fixing member, and which displays various marks such as the depth of the fishing needle bundle, and connecting means for oscillatingly connecting the movable member and the fixing member. And, in a state where the movable member is closed with respect to the fixed member, a surface which does not face the fixed member of the movable member is located outside the end face of the reel main body.

In this case, when the movable member is closed with respect to the fixed member, the movable member can be formed thick because the surface which does not face the fixed member of the movable member, that is, the upper surface is located on the outer side protruding upward from the uppermost surface of the reel main body. . For this reason, the space for accommodating various electrical components connected to a display part etc. inside can be ensured enough, for example.

In the display device of a fishing reel according to the second aspect of the invention, in the display apparatus of the first aspect, in a state in which the movable member is closed with respect to the fixing member, the surface of the reel body opposite to the fixing member of the movable member is smaller than the end face of the reel body. It is located inside.

In this case, when the movable member is closed with respect to the stationary member, the surface facing the stationary member of the movable member is located inward from the top surface of the reel main body, so that the displacement and deformation of the movable member due to impacts such as falling or the like can be prevented. Can be prevented from damage. In addition, since the fixing member is located inside the reel main body, even when the movable member is opened with respect to the fixing member, it is possible to prevent damage due to an impact such as falling of an electrical component stored in the fixing member.

The display device for fishing reel according to the third aspect of the invention further includes a guard member for protecting the movable member in a state in which the movable member is closed with respect to the fixed member.

In this case, for example, by providing a guard member that covers the periphery of the movable member that protrudes upward, damage to the movable member due to an impact such as a drop can be prevented.

In the display device of a fishing reel according to the fourth aspect of the invention, in the display apparatus of the first aspect, the display portion is provided on a surface of the movable member that faces the fixing member. In this case, by closing the movable member provided with the display portion on the surface facing the fixing member, the display portion is not exposed to the outside of the movable member, so that the display portion can be protected against impact from the outside.

In the display device of a fishing reel according to the fifth aspect of the invention, in the display apparatus of the first aspect, the movable member further includes a switch operating portion disposed near the swing shaft center. In this case, the distance between the switch operating member and the swing shaft core is short compared with the case where the switch operating section is disposed at a position spaced apart from the swing shaft core of the movable member, so that the torque caused by the operation of the switch operating member is reduced, It becomes difficult to affect opening and closing of the member.

In the display device for fishing reel according to the sixth aspect of the invention, in the display apparatus of the first aspect, the fixing member is made of metal. In this case, the heat dissipation effect of various electrical parts is improved by forming the fixing member by metal such as aluminum alloy. In particular, when the FET or the like of the motor drive circuit of the electric reel is provided in the fixed member, the heat dissipation effect of the FET or the like becomes remarkable.

In the display device of a fishing reel according to the seventh aspect of the invention, in the display apparatus of the first aspect, the movable member further has at least various electrical components connected to the display portion, and the electrical component of the fixed member and the electrical component of the movable member are connected to serial communication. Input and output signals by In this case, the number of wirings can be reduced as compared with the case where the electric parts of the fixing member and the electric parts of the movable member input and output signals by parallel communication.

In the display device of a fishing reel according to the eighth aspect of the invention, in the display apparatus of the first aspect, the movable member is capable of swinging at least 180 degrees with respect to the fixed member. In this case, the movable member can be rocked to the front of the reel.

The display device for fishing reel according to the ninth aspect further includes a positioning means for holding the movable member at a predetermined position in the display apparatus of the first aspect, and is movable in a state in which the movable member is opened with respect to the fixed member. The positioning means is released when a force of more than a predetermined force is applied to the member. In this case, since the holding member is released when a force greater than a predetermined force is applied to the movable member, damage to the movable member can be prevented by avoiding an impact from the outside.
