Clutch operating member of double bearing reel

The present invention is a clutch operating member, and particularly relates to a clutch mechanism 19 for opening and closing a double-bearing reel for allowing a reel to be attached to a reel rotatably supported in a reel 4 of a reel body 1 toward the front. Used clutch operating member.

The double-bearing reel generally includes a reel body including a pair of left and right side plates, a reel rotatably disposed between the two side plates, and an operating lever for rotating the reel. The side plates are arranged facing each other with a predetermined interval, and the two outer sides of the pair of side plates are covered by the cover member. The operating lever has a crank arm that is disposed on one side of the reel body, and a handle portion that is rotatably attached to the crank arm. The rotation transmission mechanism includes a main gear that is provided on a rotation shaft (handle shaft) of the operation lever, and a pinion that meshes with the main gear, and the main gear is coupled to the handle shaft through the traction mechanism. The pinion gear is movably mounted on the spool shaft in the axial direction, and the clutch mechanism has an engaging portion provided on the pinion gear and is disposed on the spool shaft and engaged with the engaging portion so that the two are non-rotatable The jointed part of the ground. The clutch operating member is a case where the bait throws the fishing reel and can be mounted up and down in the rear of the reel. The clutch control mechanism transmits/disconnects the clutch mechanism by the operation of the clutch operating member.

In this case, the double-bearing reel, in particular, the bait for fishing with a bait, the clutch is disconnected (interrupted state) and needs to be removed immediately after throwing The clutch is turned on (conveying state). For example, when it is felt that the bait is in the water and then hooked back, it is necessary to quickly turn on the clutch mechanism. Moreover, the bait mechanism needs to be quickly turned on in order to allow the bait to sink into the predetermined water depth after the bait is in the water. Here, it has been conventionally disclosed that two kinds of operation portions capable of performing clutch operation are provided between the side plate of the reel body and the side plate behind the reel (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

The double-bearing reel of the above publication has a first and a second operation portion that are separately mounted on the both side plates, and a third operation portion that is disposed behind the reel. The third operation unit is integrally formed in the first and second operation units, and guides the first and second operation units to the both side plates. The clutch operating member is fixed to a clutch cam that is rotatable about the spool core.

In the double-bearing reel having such a configuration, when the first and second operation portions provided on the side plate side are thrown, only the hand that performs the pressing line is slightly displaced to perform the conduction operation of the clutch mechanism, and the speed can be quickly performed. The operation of turning on the clutch mechanism is performed. Further, since the first and second operation portions are provided on both sides of the side plate, the case of the double-bearing reel of any one of the left and right operation levers can be pressed by any of the right and left hands. The female finger quickly turns on the clutch mechanism. The first and second operation portions and the third operation portion are connected at an angle of a slight 90 degrees as seen from the rear, and the third operation portion is formed linearly as seen from the rear.

Further, in the clutch mechanism, since the clutch ON state and the clutch OFF state are not easily switched, a toggle spring mechanism that can be separately pushed into the clutch ON state and the clutch OFF state is provided.

When throwing a cymbal, such as the case of a right lever, holding the reel by the right hand The third operating portion is pressed by the abdomen of the intermediate portion of the female finger to open the clutch mechanism. Moreover, the throwing is performed by the wrist holding the reel. At the time of throwing, the apex of the female finger is brought into contact with the flange portion of the reel to perform a braking operation generally referred to as finger pressing, preventing the backlash from being caused by the slack of the fishing line. When the bait is in the water, the first or second operation portion is moved forward by the finger of the pressure line, and the clutch mechanism is turned on. Moreover, the reel is changed to the left hand and the operating lever is rotated by the right hand to operate the reel and the fishing rod.

Further, as shown in Fig. 12, in the third operation portion 17c, the thickness is thinned toward the rear in the cross section, and the upper surface is rounded in an arc shape at the rear end portion.

[Structure of Clutch Control Mechanism 20]

As shown in FIGS. 4, 9 and 10, the clutch control mechanism 20 has a clutch cam 40 that rotates around the spool core X by rotation of the clutch operating member 17, and a clutch cam 40. The clutch yoke 41 that is pressed outward in the spool axis direction, the coil spring 42 that urges the clutch yoke toward the inner side in the spool axis direction, and the rotation of the clutch mechanism 19 that disconnects the clutch from the direction in which the lever 2 is wound The clutch return mechanism 43 is returned to the clutch-on state by interlocking.

The clutch cam 40 is provided with, for example, a synthetic resin that is provided with a cam surface that presses the clutch yoke 41 outward in the spool axial direction and is rotatably attached to the hub portion 9g of the second side plate main body 9a around the spool axis X. The cam portion 45 and the cam portion 45 are rotatably mounted in a rotatable manner For example, a clutch plate 46 made of metal is provided for the clutch guard 16. Here, the metal clutch plate 46 of the second side plate body 9a made of a magnesium alloy may be damaged, and the clutch portion 16 of the synthetic resin may be attached to the synthetic resin, and the synthetic resin cam portion 45 may be less likely to be injured. It is a hub part 9g installed directly in the 2nd side plate main-body 9a.

As shown in Fig. 4, the cam portion 45 has a cylindrical cam body portion 45a rotatably mounted on the hub portion 9g around the spool axis X, and a radial direction from the cam body portion 45a. A protruding portion 45b of the clutch returning mechanism 43 and a pair of cam faces 45c which are disposed concentrically with the spool shaft 15 on one surface of the cam body portion 45a are protruded from the outside. The engagement convex portion 45d is formed on the back surface of the cam main body portion 45a, and the engagement hole 46c formed in the clutch holder 46 is engaged with the engagement convex portion 45d, and the rotation of the clutch operation member 17 is transmitted to the cam portion 45. The tip end of the engaging convex portion 45d is engaged with the circular arc hole 16b formed in the clutch guard 16 to regulate the range of rotation. Further, the clutch yoke 41 is formed with an engagement portion (not shown), and the cam surface 45c is engaged with the engagement portion to press the clutch yoke 41 outward in the spool axis direction.

The clutch holder 46 has a mounting portion 46a that is rotatably attached to the tubular portion 16a of the clutch guard 16, and a radially extending portion from the mounting portion 46a to the spool axis X. The way of being bent is the mounting portion 46b. The attachment portion 46b is a third operation portion 17c that is screwed to the clutch operation member 17 in a state in which the attachment portion 46b is positioned to penetrate the slit 9m in the second side plate main body 9a.

The clutch yoke 41 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the spool shaft 15, and is parallel to the spool core X by the two pins 44 screwed to the second side plate body 9a. Moved to be supported. Further, the spool shaft 15 is relatively rotatable with respect to the clutch yoke 41. That is, even if the spool shaft 15 rotates, the clutch yoke 41 does not rotate. Further, the clutch yoke 41 has an engaging portion 41a that engages with the small diameter portion 32c of the pinion gear 32 at the center portion thereof. Further, on the outer circumference of each of the pins 44 supporting the clutch yoke 41, a coil spring 42 is disposed between the clutch yoke 41 and the second side cover 6b to urge the clutch yoke 41 toward the inside of the spool shaft.

In this configuration, in the normal state, the pinion gear 32 is in the inner clutch-on position, and the engagement groove 32d of the meshing portion 32b and the engagement pin 15a of the spool shaft 15 are engaged with each other to be in a clutch-on state. On the other hand, when the pinion gear 32 is pressed outward in the axial direction by the clutch yoke 41, the engagement between the engagement groove 32d and the engagement pin 15a is released, and the clutch is disengaged.

As shown in FIGS. 4, 9, and 10, the clutch return mechanism 43 includes a releasing member 47 coupled to the clutch cam 40 and the ratchet roller 72 (Fig. 3). The releasing member 47 is a protruding portion 45b that is swingably attached to the cam portion 45. A claw portion 47a that can abut against the outer peripheral portion of the ratchet roller 72 is formed at the tip end of the releasing member 47. The releasing member 47 is a guiding recess 16d that is guided into the clutch guard 16. The releasing member 47 is urged by the toggle spring 49 in the two directions of the swinging direction. The toggle spring 49 is a spring locking hole 16c that is locked in the clutch guard 16. Further, the toggle spring 49 also urges the clutch cam 40 to the engagement position and the disengagement position.

The ratchet roller 72 is non-rotatably attached to the handle shaft 30, and a plurality of tooth portions 72a are formed in the outer peripheral portion at intervals in the rotational direction. This tooth portion 72a is the claw portion 47a of the pressing release member 47 to clutch the clutch cam 40 from the clutch The disconnected position returns to the clutch conducting position.

Next, the operation of the double bearing reel will be described.

In the normal state, as shown in Fig. 10, the clutch operating member 17 is disposed at the engagement position, and the clutch yoke 41 is pressed inward by the coil spring 42 in the spool axis direction, thereby making the pinion gear 32 moves toward the engaged position. In this state, the engaging groove 32d of the pinion gear 32 and the engaging pin 15a of the spool shaft 15 mesh with each other to be in a clutch-on state, and the rotational force from the operating lever 2 passes through the handlebar shaft 30, the main gear 31, and The pinion gear 32 is transmitted to the spool shaft 15 and the spool 4. At this time, by adjusting the tightening amount of the cap 52 of the throwing control mechanism 22, the resistance at the time of rotation of the spool 4 can be adjusted.

In the case of throwing, the clutch operating member 17 is pressed downward. Specifically, the distal end is brought into contact with the flange portion 4a of the reel 4, and the third operation portion 17c is pressed by the abdomen of the finger that is pressed. By this pressing operation, the clutch operating member 17 is rotated downward around the spool axis X and moved to the disengaged position.

Since the clutch operating member 17 and the clutch holder 46 are coupled, the clutch operating plate 17 is rotated downward, and the clutch holder 46 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 10 around the spool axis X. When the clutch holder 46 and the cam portion 45 are engaged, when the clutch holder 46 is rotated counterclockwise, the cam portion 45 also resists the biasing force of the toggle spring 49 and rotates counterclockwise about the spool shaft 15. When the cam portion 45 is rotated counterclockwise, since the engagement portion of the clutch yoke 41 abuts against the cam surface 45c of the cam portion 45, the clutch yoke 41 is outward in the direction of the spool axis along the cam surface 45c (Fig. 4) Right) Move. The clutch yoke 41 is engaged with the small diameter portion of the pinion gear 32 32c, the clutch yoke 41 is moved outward in the axial direction so that the pinion gear 32 also moves in the same direction. In this state, the engagement between the engagement groove 32d of the pinion gear 32 and the engagement pin 15a of the spool shaft 15 is released, and the clutch is disengaged. In this state, the rotation from the handle shaft 30 is not transmitted to the spool shaft 15 and the spool 4.

The state when the clutch is disconnected is as shown in Figure 9. When the clutch operating member 17 and the cam portion 45 are rotated by the downward movement position, the front end of the releasing member 47 is guided to the guiding recess 16d toward the ratchet. The roller 72 moves sideways.

When the throwing is started, the finger is slightly moved forward and the flange portion 4a of the tip end contact roll 4 is pressed by the finger.

Then, when the clutch is turned off and the clutch is turned on again immediately after the throwing, the first or second operation portions 17a and 17b of the clutch operating member 17 are pressed by the tip end of the finger of the pressing line. The operation portions 17f and 17g rotate the clutch operating member 17 from the disengaged position toward the engaged position. Thereby, the clutch cam 40 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 9 against the biasing force of the toggle spring 49, and returns to the engagement position as shown in FIG. As a result, the clutch yoke 41 urged by the coil spring 42 moves inward in the axial direction to move the pinion gear 32 to the engagement position. Thereby, the engagement pin 15a is engaged with the engagement groove 32d of the pinion gear 32, and the clutch mechanism 19 is in a clutch-on state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the clutch is turned off, and the handlebar 2 rotates the handle shaft 30 clockwise (in the direction in which the wire is wound) as indicated by the arrow E, by the tooth portion of the ratchet roller 72. 72a causes the claw portion 47a of the releasing member 47 to be Pressed. In this case, the cam portion 45 returns to the engagement position against the biasing force of the toggle spring 49, and the clutch mechanism 19 is brought into the clutch conduction state.

In such an embodiment, the clutch mechanism 19 can be brought into an on state or an open state by operating only the clutch operating member 17. Therefore, the conduction and disconnection control of the clutch mechanism 19 can be performed by placing the female finger on the clutch operating member 17 at the time of throwing and performing finger pressing. Therefore, the moment when the fish is hooked, the clutch can be turned on and the fish can be caught. Further, the structure is simplified as compared with the case where the individual members respectively perform the opening and closing of the clutch mechanism 19.

When the center portion of the third operation portion 17c is concavely bent, the tip end of the female finger contacts any of the first and second operation portions 17a and 17b and is pressed forward to operate the clutch mechanism 19 to the clutch conduction state. The abdomen of the finger is not easily swayed by the central part of the depression. Therefore, it is easy to move the finger and operate as a clutch conduction state.
