Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-244548, filed on Dec. 27, 2018. The entire disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-244548 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a spinning reel.
- A conventional spinning reel that include a bail reversing mechanism has been disclosed (refer to Japanese Patent Number 5866275). In the conventional bail reversing mechanism, an end portion of an elastic member (biasing part) is disposed outside of a swing member, and another portion of the elastic member (biasing part) is disposed in a housing hole of the swing member. The end portion of the elastic member (biasing part) biases the connecting member. In this state, by swinging the swing member and using the elastic member (biasing part) to press the bail arm against the connecting member, the attitude of the bail arm changes from either the line-winding attitude or the casting (line-releasing) attitude, to the other attitude, i.e., the casting attitude or the line-winding attitude.
- In the conventional bail reversing mechanism, since the end portion of the elastic member (biasing part) is disposed outside the housing hole of the swing member, when the attitude of the bail arm is changed, there is the risk that the elastic member (biasing part) will slide against an open end of the housing hole of the swing member. In particular, if a coil spring is used as the elastic member (biasing part), when the coil spring is compressed, there is the risk that the peripheral end of the coil spring will expand and slide against or contact the open end of the housing hole of the swing member. Furthermore, there is the possibility that, when pressed, an end portion of a rod of a toggle portion will slide against or contact the inner periphery of the housing hole of the swing member. In such a situation, the elastic member (biasing part) may unevenly slide on the inner circumferential surface of the housing hole of the swing member. That is, in the conventional bail reversing mechanism, since the sliding resistance of the elastic member (biasing part) with respect to the swing member is not stable, there is the possibility that the attitude of the bail arm cannot be smoothly changed.
- The present invention was made in light of the above-described problem, and the object of the present invention is to provide a spinning reel with which the attitude of the bail arm can be smoothly changed.
- A spinning reel according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a reel body, a rotor, a bail arm, and a bail reversing mechanism. The rotor is disposed so as to be rotatable relative to the rotor body. The bail arm is configured to be pivotable with respect to the rotor.
- The bail reversing mechanism has a pressing part, a biasing part, a housing part, and a guide part. The pressing part is configured to be capable of pressing the bail arm to swing the bail arm. The biasing part biases the pressing part. The housing part is provided in the rotor. The biasing part is housed in the housing part. The guide part is housed in the housing part. The guide part operates the biasing part between the pressing part and the housing part.
- In the present spinning reel, the biasing part and the guide part are housed in the housing part. In this state, the guide part guides the biasing part between the pressing part and the housing part. In this manner, since the biasing part is housed inside the housing part and guided by the guide part between the pressing part and the housing part, it is possible to prevent the biasing part from sliding against or contacting the open end of the housing part and to reduce changes in the sliding resistance or the contact resistance. That is, the attitude of the bail arm can be changed smoothly.
- In the fishing reel according to another aspect of the present invention, the housing part preferably has a housing hole for disposing the biasing part. In this embodiment, the guide part has a sliding portion that slides along the housing hole.
- Thus, by sliding the sliding portion of the guide part along the housing hole, changes in the sliding resistance of the biasing part and the housing part can be suitably reduced. In addition, it is also possible to restrict the sliding of the end portion of the biasing part and the open end of the housing hole of the housing part with the guide part.
- In the fishing reel according to another aspect of the present invention, the pressing part preferably has a pressed portion that is pressed by the biasing part via the guide part. In this embodiment, at least part of the pressed portion is disposed in the housing part.
- In this configuration, the pressing part (pressed portion) is pressed by the biasing part via the guide part. Here, the guide part is housed in the housing part, and at least a portion of the pressed portion is disposed in the housing part. It is thereby possible to suitably guide the biasing part between the pressing part and the housing part with the guide part. In addition, since the attitude of the guide part (rod) can be stabilized, it is possible to suitably reduce changes in the sliding resistance or the contact resistance of the biasing part and the housing part without sliding or contacting the guide part with the housing part.
- In the fishing reel according to another aspect of the present invention, the biasing part is preferably a coil spring. In this embodiment, the guide part has a guide hole through which the pressing part can be inserted. A portion of the pressing part is disposed in the inner peripheral portion of the coil spring via the guide hole.
- In this configuration, since a portion of the pressing part is disposed in the inner peripheral portion of the coil spring, it is possible to prevent the deflection (bending, falling, etc.) of the coil spring. That is, it is possible to suitably reduce changes in the sliding resistance of the biasing part and the housing part.
- According to the present invention, the attitude of the bail arm of a spinning reel can be smoothly changed.

FIG. 1 , aspinning reel 10 employing one embodiment of the present invention comprises areel body 12, arotor 20, abail arm 22, and a bail reversing mechanism 24 (refer toFIG. 2 ). - Specifically, the
spinning reel 10 comprises thereel body 12, ahandle 14, a spool shaft 16 (refer toFIG. 2 ), aspool 18, therotor 20, thebail arm 22, and the bail reversing mechanism 24 (refer toFIG. 2 ). - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the axis of thespool shaft 16 is referred to as the X axis. The direction in which the X axis extends as well as the direction along the X axis is referred to as the axial direction. The direction around the X axis, centered on the X axis, is referred to as the rotational direction (circumferential direction). The direction away from the X axis centered on the X axis is referred to as the radial direction. In addition, in the axial direction, the direction in which a fishing line is cast (unreeled) is referred to as the “front,” and the direction opposite to the “front” is referred to as the “rear.” - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , thereel body 12 has areel body portion 12 a and acylindrical portion 12 b. Thereel body portion 12 a has an internal space. Anoscillating mechanism 25 for moving thespool 18 in the longitudinal direction is disposed in the internal space. - In addition, a portion of the
rotor drive mechanism 28 for driving therotor 20 is disposed in the internal space. A switchingmember 40 is provided in the front portion of thereel body portion 12 a. The switchingmember 40 is formed with an essentially annular shape. A plurality ofrecesses 50 a are formed on the outer peripheral portion of the switching member 40 (refer toFIG. 6 ). - In addition, the
cylindrical portion 12 b is disposed on the front portion of thereel body portion 12 a. Ananti-reverse rotation mechanism 30 is disposed in thecylindrical portion 12 b. Theoscillating mechanism 25 and theanti-reverse rotation mechanism 30 have essentially the same configurations as the conventional configurations, so that their descriptions have been omitted. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thehandle 14 is rotatably supported by thereel body 12. The present embodiment illustrates an example in which thehandle 14 is disposed on the left side of the reel body, but thehandle 14 may be disposed on the right side of thereel body 12. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thespool shaft 16 is supported by thereel body 12. Thespool shaft 16 extends in the longitudinal direction and can be moved in reciprocating fashion in the longitudinal direction with respect to thereel body 12 by theoscillating mechanism 25. - The fishing line is wound around the
spool 18. Thespool 18 is configured to be movable integrally with thespool shaft 16 in the axial direction. For example, thespool 18 is mounted on thespool shaft 16 via a drag operating unit 15 that is screwed onto the distal end portion of thespool shaft 16. - As a result, when the
spool shaft 16 moves in reciprocating fashion in the longitudinal direction with respect to thereel body 12, as described above, thespool 18 also moves in reciprocating fashion in the longitudinal direction with respect to thereel body 12.FIG. 2 shows an example in which thespool 18 has moved to the rearmost position with respect to thereel body 12. - In addition, the
spool 18 is configured to be rotatable relative to thespool shaft 16. For example, adrag mechanism 32 is disposed on the radially inward side of thespool 18. Thespool 18 is connected to be rotatable relative to thespool shaft 16 via thedrag mechanism 32. - The
rotor 20 is used for winding the fishing line about thespool 18. Therotor 20 is configured to be rotatable with respect to thereel body 12, and is rotated in the circumferential direction, for example, in the line-winding direction, via therotor drive mechanism 28. - The
rotor drive mechanism 28 includes adrive shaft 28 a that rotates in conjunction with the rotation of thehandle 14, adrive gear 28 b disposed on thedrive shaft 28 a, and apinion gear 28 c that meshes with thedrive gear 28 b. Thepinion gear 28 c is formed in a tubular shape. Thespool shaft 16 is inserted through the inner peripheral portion of thepinion gear 28 c. - For example, the
rotor 20 has an X axis of rotation that is coaxial with the axis of thespool shaft 16. Therotor 20 is disposed on thereel body 12 to be rotatable relative to thereel body 12 about the X axis of rotation. - The
rotor 20 is coupled to thepinion gear 28 c to be integrally rotatable. Therotor 20 has atubular portion 20 a that is connected to thepinion gear 28 c, and afirst rotor arm 20 b and asecond rotor arm 20 c that are integrally formed with thetubular portion 20 a. Therotor 20 also includes afirst cover member 20 d and asecond cover member 20 e. - The
first rotor arm 20 b extends forward from the rear-end portion of thetubular portion 20 a and is spaced apart from thetubular portion 20 a. Thefirst rotor arm 20 b has aguide groove 20 f (refer toFIG. 3 ). Theguide groove 20 f is a groove that extends in the axial direction and that is open in the radial direction. Theguide groove 20 f is integrally formed with thefirst rotor arm 20 b. An engagement member 34 (described further below) is disposed in theguide groove 20 f. - The
second rotor arm 20 c is disposed facing thefirst rotor arm 20 b. Thesecond rotor arm 20 c extends forward from a rear-end portion of thetubular portion 20 a and is spaced apart from thetubular portion 20 a. - The
first cover member 20 d covers the outside surface of thefirst rotor arm 20 b in the radial direction. - The
second cover member 20 e covers the outside surface of thesecond rotor arm 20 c in the radial direction. - The rotation of the
rotor 20 in the casting direction (reverse rotation) is prevented by theanti-reverse rotation mechanism 30 disposed between thereel body 12 and therotor 20. In the present embodiment, theanti-reverse rotation mechanism 30 can be switched between a reverse rotation prevention state for preventing the rotation in the casting direction and a reverse rotation enabling state for enabling the rotation in the line-winding direction (reverse rotation). - Bail Arm
- The
bail arm 22 is pivotable with respect to therotor 20. For example, as shown inFIG. 2 , thebail arm 22 is mounted on the distal end portion of thefirst rotor arm 20 b and thesecond rotor arm 20 c that extends in a forward direction. In this embodiment, the attitude of thebail arm 22 can be changed between the line-winding attitude, in which the fishing line can be wound around thespool 18, and the casting attitude, in which the fishing line can be cast or unreeled from thespool 18. - The
bail arm 22 comprises a firstbail support member 42, a secondbail support member 44, and abail 46 that connects the firstbail support member 42 and the secondbail support member 44. - The first
bail support member 42 is mounted on the distal end portion of thefirst rotor arm 20 b to be pivotable with respect to thefirst rotor arm 20 b. The secondbail support member 44 is mounted on the distal end portion of thesecond rotor arm 20 c to be pivotable with respect to thesecond rotor arm 20 c. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , the firstbail support member 42 has anengagement recess 42 a and anengagement hole 42 b. Theengagement recess 42 a and theengagement hole 42 b are formed on a portion of the firstbail support member 42 opposing thefirst rotor arm 20 b, such as on a surface of the firstbail support member 42 opposing thefirst rotor arm 20 b. - The
engagement recess 42 a is a recess with which theengagement member 34 engages. Adistal end portion 34 a (described further below) of theengagement member 34 engages theengagement recess 42 a. Theengagement recess 42 a is a groove that extends in the circumferential direction. Theengagement hole 42 b is a hole with which a rod 51 (described further below) engages. A distal end portion of therod 51, such as anengagement portion 51 a (described further below), is inserted into theengagement hole 42 b. - Bail Reversing Mechanism
- The
bail reversing mechanism 24 switches thebail arm 22 from the casting attitude to the line-winding attitude in conjunction with the rotation of therotor 20. For example, when therotor 20 rotates in the line-winding direction, thebail reversing mechanism 24 switches the attitude of thebail arm 22 from the casting attitude to the line-winding attitude. In addition, thebail reversing mechanism 24 holds each of the casting attitude and the line-winding attitude. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thebail reversing mechanism 24 is disposed inside thebail arm 22. For example, thebail reversing mechanism 24 is disposed between thefirst rotor arm 20 b and thefirst cover member 20 d. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thebail reversing mechanism 24 has a swing member 36 (one example of the housing part), and a toggle unit 38 (one example of the pressing part, the biasing part, and the guide part). Specifically, thebail reversing mechanism 24 has theengagement member 34, the swing member 36 (one example of the housing part), the toggle unit 38 (one example of the pressing part, the biasing part, and the guide part), and the switching member 40 (refer toFIG. 6 ). - Although
FIG. 3 is a side view, thebail reversing mechanism 24 is shown inFIG. 3 in a partial cross-sectional view for ease of explanation. - Engagement Member
- The
engagement member 34 is disposed in therotor 20. For example, theengagement member 34 is disposed in therotor 20 so as to be movable in the axial direction with respect to thefirst rotor arm 20 b. For example, as shown inFIG. 3 , theengagement member 34 is disposed in theguide groove 20 f of thefirst rotor arm 20 b and is guided in the axial direction by theguide groove 20 f. - The
engagement member 34 moves in the axial direction in accordance with the swinging of thebail arm 22. For example, when thebail arm 22 is in the line-winding attitude, theengagement member 34 is disposed in the position ofFIG. 3 . When thebail arm 22 is in the casting attitude, theengagement member 34 moves downward from the position ofFIG. 3 along theguide groove 20 f. - The
engagement member 34 is a metallic linear member. Two end portions of theengagement member 34 are bent in different directions. As shown inFIG. 3 , thedistal end portion 34 a of theengagement member 34 is bent radially outward in theengagement member 34. Thedistal end portion 34 a engages thebail arm 22, for example, theengagement recess 42 a of the firstbail support member 42. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , anintermediate portion 34 b of theengagement member 34 is the portion between thedistal end portion 34 a and a rear-end portion 34 c. Theintermediate portion 34 b is disposed in theguide groove 20 f. Theintermediate portion 34 b can be guided in the axial direction by theguide groove 20 f. - The rear-
end portion 34 c of theengagement member 34 is a part that is bent radially inward. The rear-end portion 34 c is bent radially inward. Here, when thebail arm 22 is in the line-winding attitude, as shown inFIG. 6 , the rear-end portion 34 c engages arecess 50 a of the switchingmember 40. When thebail arm 22 is in the casting attitude, theengagement member 34 is disposed in the position of the solid line inFIG. 6 , for example, below the position of the broken line inFIG. 6 (position inFIG. 3 ). In this state, the rear-end portion 34 c can contact the switchingmember 40. - Swing Member
- The
swing member 36 is disposed in therotor 20. For example, as shown inFIG. 3 , theswing member 36 is pivotably attached to thefirst rotor arm 20 b between thefirst rotor arm 20 b and thefirst cover member 20 d. - As shown in
FIGS. 3 and 5 , thetoggle unit 38 is housed in theswing member 36. For example, as shown inFIG. 5 , acoil spring 52 is disposed in theswing member 36. More specifically, therod 51, thecoil spring 52, and aguide member 53 are disposed in theswing member 36. - The
swing member 36 has abody portion 36 a and aprojection 36 b. Thebody portion 36 a has ahousing hole 36 c. Specifically, the body portion has ahousing hole 36 c that is elongated in one direction. As shown inFIG. 5 , thecoil spring 52 is housed in thehousing hole 36 c. Specifically, therod 51, thecoil spring 52, and theguide member 53 are disposed in thehousing hole 36 c. - The
projection 36 b is disposed on thebody portion 36 a. For example, theprojection 36 b projects from the outer circumferential surface of thebody portion 36 a toward thefirst rotor arm 20 b. Theprojection 36 b is formed with an essentially cylindrical shape. Theprojection 36 b is disposed in atubular recess 20 g disposed in thefirst rotor arm 20 b (refer toFIG. 3 ). - In this manner, by disposing the
projection 36 b in thetubular recess 20 g of thefirst rotor arm 20 b, thebody portion 36 a is pivotably attached to thefirst rotor arm 20 b. That is, theswing member 36 is pivotably attached to thefirst rotor arm 20 b. - Toggle Unit
- The
toggle unit 38 biases thebail arm 22 into either the line-winding attitude or the casting attitude, which are on either side of a dead point. In addition, thetoggle unit 38 holds thebail arm 22 in the line-winding attitude and the casting attitude. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , thetoggle unit 38 includes the rod 51 (one example of a pressing part), the coil spring 52 (one example of a biasing part), and the guide member 53 (one example of a guide part). - The
rod 51 is configured to be capable of pressing thebail arm 22 so as to swing thebail arm 22. Therod 51 is disposed in theswing member 36. Specifically, a portion of therod 51 is disposed in thehole 36 c of theswing member 36. - In addition, the
rod 51 is disposed on the inner peripheral portion of thecoil spring 52. Specifically, a portion of therod 51 is disposed on the inner peripheral portion of thecoil spring 52. More specifically, a portion of therod 51 is disposed on the inner peripheral portion of thecoil spring 52 via aguide hole 53 a (described further below) of theguide member 53. - The
rod 51 has a lockingportion 51 a and a lockingprojection 51 b (one example of a pressed portion). The lockingportion 51 a is a part that is bent toward the firstbail support member 42. The distal end of the lockingportion 51 a engages with theengagement hole 42 b of the first bail support member 42 (refer toFIG. 4 ). - The locking
projection 51 b is integrally formed with therod 51. At least a portion of the lockingprojection 51 b is disposed in theswing member 36. InFIG. 5 , the lockingprojection 51 b is disposed inside theswing member 36. The lockingprojection 51 b is pressed by thecoil spring 52 via theguide member 53. As a result, force can be evenly transmitted to therod 51 from the distal end portion of thecoil spring 52. - The
coil spring 52 biases therod 51. Thecoil spring 52 is housed in theswing member 36. Thecoil spring 52 is disposed in thehousing hole 36 c of theswing member 36. Bending, falling, etc., of thecoil spring 52 can be restricted by the inner circumferential surface of thehousing hole 36 c of theswing member 36. Thecoil spring 52 can thereby stably expand and contract along the inner circumferential surface of thehousing hole 36 c of theswing member 36. - The
guide member 53 operates thecoil spring 52 between therod 51 and theswing member 36. Theguide member 53 is disposed between thecoil spring 52 and therod 51. Specifically, theguide member 53 is disposed between thecoil spring 52 and the lockingprojection 51 b of therod 51. - The
guide member 53 is housed in theswing member 36. A cover member 72 is disposed in theswing member 36 so as to be capable of contacting the inner circumferential surface of thehousing hole 36 c of theswing member 36. - The
guide member 53 is formed with an essentially annular shape. Theguide member 53 has theguide hole 53 a and a slidingportion 53 b. Theguide hole 53 a penetrates theguide member 53. Therod 51 is inserted in theguide hole 53 a. The slidingportion 53 b forms the outer circumferential surface of theguide member 53. The slidingportion 53 b contacts the inner circumferential surface of thehousing hole 36 c of theswing member 36. When thecoil spring 52 expands and contracts, the slidingportion 53 b swings and slides with respect to the inner circumferential surface of thehousing hole 36 c of theswing member 36. It is thereby possible to stabilize the attitude of therod 51 such that therod 51 does not slide against or contact the inner circumferential surface of thehousing hole 36 c of theswing member 36. - Switching Member
- As shown in
FIGS. 2 and 6 , the switchingmember 40 is disposed on thereel body 12. The switchingmember 40 switches the attitude of thebail arm 22 via theengagement member 34 by contact with theengagement member 34. - When the bail arm 22 (first bail support member 42) is in the casting attitude, as shown in
FIG. 6 , theengagement member 34 is disposed in the position of the solid line inFIG. 6 (below the position inFIG. 3 ). - In this state, if the
rotor 20 rotates in the line-winding direction LW, theengagement member 34 is guided by the switchingmember 40. - For example, an
inclined surface 40 a is disposed on the switchingmember 40. The rear-end portion 34 c of theengagement member 34 is guided by theinclined surface 40 a. As a result, the attitude of the bail arm 22 (first bail support member 42) is switched from the casting attitude to the line-winding attitude. - Specifically, when the
rotor 20 rotates in the line-winding direction LW, theinclined surface 40 a contacts the rear-end portion 34 c of theengagement member 34 and moves theengagement member 34 until thetoggle unit 38 exceeds the dead point. In this embodiment, theswing member 36 swings with respect to thefirst rotor arm 20 b. - Here, when the
rod 51 exceeds the dead point, the firstbail support member 42 is rotated by the biasing force of thecoil spring 52. Then, thedistal end portion 34 a of theengagement member 34 contacts the circumferential end of theengagement recess 42 a at the position shown inFIG. 4 . The firstbail support member 42 is positioned by this contact. In this state, theengagement member 34 has returned to the position of the broken line inFIG. 6 , that is, the position shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 . - By rotating the first
bail support member 42 in this manner, thebail arm 22 returns from the casting attitude to the line-winding attitude. - In the spinning
reel 10 described above, thecoil spring 52 is disposed in theswing member 36, and theguide member 53 is housed in theswing member 36. In this state, theguide member 53 guides the expanding/contracting coil spring 52 between theengagement member 34 and theswing member 36 along the inner circumferential surface of thehousing hole 36 c of theswing member 36. - In this manner, since the
coil spring 52 is housed inside theswing member 36 and guided by theguide member 53 between therod 51 and theswing member 36, it is possible to prevent thecoil spring 52 from sliding against or contacting the open end of theswing member 36, and to reduce changes in the sliding resistance or the contact resistance. That is, the attitude of thebail arm 22 can be smoothly changed. - One embodiment of the present invention was described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the various embodiments and modified examples described herein can be arbitrarily combined as required.
- In the embodiment described above, the
rotor 20 is rotatable in the line-winding direction and the casting direction, but therotor 20 may be configured to be rotatable only in the line-winding direction. In this embodiment, theanti-reverse rotation mechanism 30 always prevents the rotation of therotor 20 in the casting direction. - In the embodiment described above, a description is presented in which a front
drag spinning reel 10 is an example, but the present invention may be applied to other spinning reels as long as the spinning reel has abail reversing mechanism 24. For example, the present invention can be applied to all spinning reels including a rear drag type spinning reel and a lever brake type spinning reel that can brake therotor 20 with a lever member.
