In the first embodiment, the cam surface 242g is formed such that the distance to the swing axis C1 that is the center of the swing shaft 252 is different. The cam surface 242g is formed on an outer peripheral surface that can come into contact with the handle arm 26 of the pair of connecting portions 242a. A flat surface 242h is formed on the cam surface 242g corresponding to the fixed posture. The length of the flat surface 242h is preferably about 2 mm to 5 mm.

  In the handle length adjusting mechanism 208 having such a configuration, the flat surface 242h is formed on the cam surface 242g, so that the fixed posture is less likely to be rattled. Posture is stable.

  Further, since the shaft support portion 250 engages with the long hole 26c, the lever member 242 always faces the handle arm 26 in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, since both ends of the swing shaft 252 inserted into the insertion hole 242c are circular, no gap is generated in the insertion hole 242c, the appearance can be improved, and foreign matters are less likely to adhere to the insertion hole 242c.

<Handle length adjustment operation>
When changing the handle length L by the handle length adjusting mechanism 208, the lever portion 242b of the lever member 242 is pulled up to swing the lever member 42 from the fixed posture to the released posture. At this time, the lever portion 242b contacts the head portion 254a of the screw member 254 and is positioned in the release posture between the pair of connecting portions 24a. Then, the distance from the swing center C1 to the cam surface 242g is gradually reduced, the urging force by the disc spring 248 is weakened, and the position of the handle arm 26 in the longitudinal direction can be arbitrarily changed. When the handle arm 26 is moved to a desired position, the lever member 242 is swung from the release posture to the fixed posture in this state. Then, the cam surface 242g approaches the cam receiving portion 250d, presses the cam receiving portion 250d, and the handle arm 26 is pressed toward the contact portion 232 by the arrangement portion 250b. At this time, the pressing force gradually increases due to the action of the disc spring 248. When the lever member 242 is in a fixed posture, the distance from the swing axis C1 to the cam surface 242g is maximized, and the pressing force is maximized. When in the fixed posture, the lever portion 242b is disposed substantially parallel to the handle arm 26. For this reason, the fishing line is less likely to be caught on the lever member 42. In the fixed posture, the flat surface 242h of the cam surface 242g contacts the lever portion 242b, so that the lever member 242 is less likely to swing from the fixed posture to the release posture side.

Also in the second embodiment, the handle arm 26 can be moved with respect to the handle shaft 6 in the longitudinal direction of the long hole 26c by setting the lever member 242 to the release posture as in the first embodiment. Thus, the handle arm 26 can be fixed to the handle shaft 6 by setting the lever member 242 to a fixed posture. Therefore, in a fishing reel such as a double-bearing reel, the length L of the handle arm 26 can be easily changed without using a tool. <Third Embodiment>

The engaging portion 330 has a non-circular cross section similar to that of the engaging portion 30 of the first embodiment, and is a shape that allows the handle arm 326 to move in the longitudinal direction of the long hole 326c. A female screw portion 306a to which the attachment portion 340 is detachably attached is formed on the distal end surface of the engagement portion 330.

  Unlike the first embodiment, the contact portion 332 is an annular member that is mounted on the shaft main body 306b while restricting movement of the handle shaft 306 to the proximal end side (lower side in FIG. 9) by a retaining ring 331. The contact portion 332 can contact the inner side surface 326 e of the handle arm 26. The contact portion 332 is provided so that the handle length adjusting mechanism 308 receives a force that presses the outer surface 326d of the handle arm 326.

<Configuration of handle length adjustment mechanism>
The handle length adjusting mechanism 308 is provided to adjust the length of the handle arm 326 in the longitudinal direction. The handle length adjusting mechanism 308 can fix and release the handle arm 326 to and from the handle shaft 306. The handle length adjustment mechanism 308 can adjust the length of the handle arm 326 by releasing the fixation of the handle arm 326 and fixing the handle arm 326 after sliding the handle shaft 306 in the long hole 326c. As shown in FIGS. 10, 11, and 12, the handle length adjusting mechanism 308 includes a mounting portion 340 provided in the engaging portion 330 and a lever member 342.

  The mounting portion 340 is provided for mounting the lever member 342. The mounting portion 340 includes a shaft support portion 350, a swing shaft 352 that is mounted on the shaft support portion 350, and a bottomed cylindrical case member 354 that is guided by the shaft support portion 350. The shaft support portion 350 includes a main body portion 350b having a cam receiving hole 350a that engages with the cam surface 352c of the swing shaft 352, and a screw portion 350c that is screwed into the female screw portion 306a. In addition to the cam receiving hole 350a, the main body 350b further includes an outer peripheral portion 350d that contacts the inner peripheral portion of the case member 354. Accordingly, the case member 354 and the shaft support portion 350 can be relatively moved in a direction in which the case member 354 approaches and separates from the handle arm 326. The main body 350b is in the form of a single clevis. The cam receiving hole 350 a is provided to allow the case member 354 to approach and separate from the outer surface 326 d of the handle arm 326 with respect to the shaft support portion 350. As shown in FIG. 11, the cam receiving hole 350 a has a slightly horizontally long oval shape in order to move the shaft support portion 350 and the case member 354 in the axial direction of the handle shaft 306 by the cam surface 352 c of the swing shaft 352. Formed in cross section. That is, when the lever member 342 is in a fixed posture described later, as shown in FIG. 12, the long axis of the cam receiving hole 350a is disposed along the handle arm 326, and the lever member 342 is in a released posture described later. Sometimes, the long axis is arranged in a direction intersecting the handle arm 326. Between the case member 354 and the handle arm 326, a synthetic resin sheet member 48 for preventing scratches is disposed as in the first embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, the lever member 42 is provided with the cam surface 42g. However, in the third embodiment, the swing shaft 352 is provided with the cam surface 352c. The swing shaft 352 rotates integrally with the lever member 342 as shown in FIGS. The swing shaft 352 is provided between the large-diameter first support portion 352a and the small-diameter second support portion 352b that are swingably attached to the case member 354, and between the first support portion 352a and the second support portion 352b. It has a cam surface 352c, a lever member attaching portion 352d, and a nut attaching portion 352e. The first support portion 352a is rotatably supported by the case member 354. The second support portion 352b has a smaller diameter than the first support portion 352a, and is rotatably supported by a bush 356 attached to the case member 354. The first support portion 352a and the second support portion 352b are configured by a circumferential surface centering on an axis C3 passing through the center of the case member 354. The cam surface 352c is configured by a circumferential surface centered on the shaft core C4 that is eccentric with respect to the swing shaft core C3. For example, a spline is formed on the lever member mounting portion 352d, and the lever member 342 is integrally and rotatably connected. A nut 358 for fixing the lever member 342 is screwed into the nut attachment portion 352e.

  The lever member 342 is mounted on the mounting portion 340 so as to be swingable between a fixed posture shown in FIG. 8 and a release posture shown in FIG. When the lever member 342 is in a fixed posture, the cam surface 352 c pulls the shaft support portion 350, and the case member 354 presses the handle arm 326 toward the contact portion 332. When in the release posture, the pulling operation of the shaft support portion 350 by the cam surface 352c is released, and the pressing of the case member 354 against the handle arm 326 is released. The lever member 342 includes a connecting portion 342a connected to the lever member mounting portion 352d of the swing shaft 352 so as to be integrally rotatable, and a lever portion 342b for swinging operation extending from the connecting portion 342a. The connecting portion 342a has a spline recess that engages with the lever member attaching portion 342d. The lever member 342 is fixed to the swing shaft 352 by a nut 358.

<Handle length adjustment operation>
When the handle length is changed by the handle length adjusting mechanism 308 according to the third embodiment, the lever portion 342b of the lever member 342 is pulled up, and the lever member 342 is shown by a two-dot chain line from the fixed posture shown by the solid line in FIG. Swing to the release position. Then, the eccentric cam surface 352c pulls the shaft support portion 350 upward in FIG. As a result, the handle arm 326 is tightly sandwiched between the contact portion 332 and the case member 354, and the handle arm 326 is fixed to the handle shaft 306. When the lever member 342 is operated to the release posture, the pulling of the shaft support portion 350 is released, and the position of the handle arm 326 in the longitudinal direction can be arbitrarily changed. When the handle arm 326 is moved to a desired position, the lever member 342 is swung from the release posture to the fixed posture in this state. Then, the cam surface 352c is separated from the handle arm 326 more than in the release posture, and the shaft support portion 350 is pulled. As a result, the handle arm 326 is fixed as described above. When in the fixed posture, the lever portion 342b is disposed substantially parallel to the handle arm 326. For this reason, the fishing line is less likely to be caught on the lever member 342.

  Also in the third embodiment, the handle arm 326 can be held between the contact portion 332 and the case member 354 by setting the lever member 342 to the release posture, and the handle arm 326 can be held by the handle shaft 306 by setting the lever member 342 to the fixed posture. Can be fixed. For this reason, in the spinning reel, the length of the handle arm 326 can be easily changed without using a tool.

<Features>
The above embodiment can be expressed as follows. In the following description, when applicable to both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, only the reference numerals of the first embodiment are attached.

  (A) A fishing reel (for example, a dual-bearing reel 100) includes a reel body 1, a spool 4, a handle assembly 2, a handle shaft 6, and a handle length adjusting mechanism 8. The spool 4 is rotatably provided on the reel body 1. The handle assembly 2 includes a handle arm 26 and a handle handle 28. The handle arm 26 extends in the longitudinal direction from the first end 26a toward the second end 26b, and has a long hole 26c on the first end 26a side. The handle grip is rotatably mounted on the second end 26b side of the handle arm. The handle shaft 6 is rotatable with respect to the reel body 1, engages with the long hole so as to be integrally rotatable, and has an engaging portion 30 at the distal end portion that allows the handle arm to move in the longitudinal direction of the long hole. . The handle length adjusting mechanism 8 can fix and release the handle arm 26 to and from the handle shaft 6. The handle length adjustment mechanism 8 includes a mounting portion 40 and a lever member 42. The mounting part 40 is provided in the engaging part 30. The lever member 42 is provided in the mounting portion 40 so as to be swingable between a fixed posture for fixing the handle arm 26 to the handle shaft 6 and a release posture for swinging from the fixed posture and releasing the fixation to the handle shaft 6.

  In this fishing reel, the engaging portion 30 of the handle shaft 6 engages with a long hole 26c provided in the handle arm 26 so as to be integrally rotatable. The engaging portion 30 is movable in the longitudinal direction of the long hole 26c. The handle arm 26 can be fixed to and released from the handle shaft 6 by the handle length adjusting mechanism 8 provided in the engaging portion 30. Here, the handle arm 26 can be moved with respect to the handle shaft 6 in the longitudinal direction of the long hole by setting the lever member 42 to the release posture, and the handle is obtained by setting the lever member 42 to the fixed posture at the moved position. The arm 26 can be fixed to the handle shaft 6. For this reason, in the fishing reel, the length L of the handle arm 26 can be easily changed without using a tool. Moreover, since the handle arm 26 can be fixed at an arbitrary position in the long hole 26c, the length of the handle arm 26 can be changed continuously instead of stepwise.

  (B) In the fishing reel (for example, the dual-bearing reel 100), the handle arm 26 has an outer surface 26d facing the lever member 42 and an inner surface 26e opposite to the outer surface 26d. The handle shaft 6 is provided with a contact portion 32 that can contact the inner side surface 26e. In this case, when the inner side surface 26e of the handle arm 26 contacts and separates from the contact portion 32, the handle arm can be fixed to and released from the handle shaft.

  (C) In the fishing reel (for example, the dual-bearing reel 100), the contact portion 32 is provided integrally with the handle shaft 6 and has a protruding surface 32a that protrudes radially outward from the engaging portion 30. In this case, the movement of the handle arm 26 toward the base end side of the handle shaft 6 can be restricted by the projecting surface 32a provided integrally with the handle shaft 6, so that the configuration of the fishing reel is simplified.

  (D) In a fishing reel (for example, spinning reel 300), the handle shaft 306 has a shaft main body 306b having an engaging portion 330. The contact portion 332 is attached to the shaft main body 306b so as not to move in the axial direction. The contact portion 332 is an annular member that is attached to the shaft main body 306b while restricting movement of the handle shaft 306 toward the proximal end. In this case, since the contact portion 332 can be configured by an annular member different from the shaft main body 306b, the degree of freedom in designing the fishing reel is increased.

  (E) In the fishing reel (for example, the dual-bearing reel 100), the lever member 42 presses the outer surface 26d of the handle arm 26 toward the contact portion 32 when in the fixed posture, and presses when the lever member 42 is in the released posture. Is released. In this case, it is possible to easily fix and release the handle arm 26 to the handle shaft 6 by pressing and releasing.

  (F) In the fishing reel (for example, the dual-bearing reel 100), the engaging portion 30 connects the pair of parallel straight portions 30a that engage with the long hole 26c and the ends of the pair of straight portions 30a. A non-circular cross section having a pair of connecting portions 30b. In this case, the long hole 26c of the handle arm 26 can be coupled to the engagement portion 30 of the handle shaft 6 so as to be integrally rotatable and movable in the longitudinal direction by the engagement portion 30 having a non-circular cross section.

  (G) In the fishing reel (for example, the dual-bearing reel 100), the lever member 42 is swingably mounted on the mounting portion 40 about an axis in a direction intersecting the handle shaft 6. The lever member 42 has a cam surface 42g that is closer to the handle arm 26 than in the release posture when in the fixed posture. In this case, when the lever member 42 swings between the release posture and the fixed posture, the cam surface 42g approaches and separates from the handle arm 26. As a result, the distance between the swing axis C1 of the lever member 42 and the cam surface 42g changes, and the cam surface 42g can press the handle arm 26 toward the handle shaft 6.

  (H) In the fishing reel (for example, the double-bearing reel 100), the cam surface 42g is formed by an arc surface having a center C2 at a position eccentric to the swing axis C1 of the lever member 42. In this case, the cam surface 42g is easily formed because the cam surface 42g is formed by an arc surface eccentric with respect to the swing axis C1 of the lever member 42.

  (I) In a fishing reel (for example, the dual-bearing reel 100), the handle length adjusting mechanism 8 is an elastic member 46 disposed between the cam surface 42g and the outer surface 26d around the elongated hole 26c of the handle arm 26. Have In this case, since the elastic member 46 such as a disc spring is disposed between the cam surface 42g and the handle arm 26, the handle arm 26 is not likely to rattle even when the lever member 42 is in the release posture.

  (J) In the fishing reel (for example, the double-bearing reel 100), the mounting portion 40 includes a shaft support portion 50 and a swing shaft 52. The shaft support part 50 is integrally formed at the tip of the engaging part 30. The swing shaft 52 is attached to the shaft support portion 50 along a direction intersecting the axial direction of the handle shaft 6. In this case, since the swing shaft 52 is attached to the shaft support portion 50 formed integrally with the engaging portion 30, the structure of the handle length adjusting mechanism 8 is simplified.

  (K) In the fishing reel (for example, the dual-bearing reel 100), the mounting portion 140 includes a shaft support portion 150 and a swing shaft 52. The shaft support portion 150 has a screw portion 150 c that can be screwed onto the distal end surface of the engagement portion 130. The swing shaft 52 is attached to the shaft support 150 along a direction that intersects the axial direction of the handle shaft 106.

  In this case, it is possible to adjust the pressing force in the fixed posture by screwing the screw portion 150c into the distal end surface of the engaging portion 130 to an appropriate position and then swinging the lever member 42 from the release posture to the fixed posture. .

  (L) In the fishing reel (spinning reel 300), the mounting portion 340 includes a shaft support portion 350, a swing shaft 352, and a case member 354. The shaft support portion 350 includes a screw portion 350 c that can be screwed onto the distal end surface of the engagement portion 330. The swing shaft 352 is attached to the shaft support portion 350 along a direction intersecting the axial direction of the handle shaft 306. The case member 354 covers the shaft support portion 350 so as to be relatively movable in the axial direction of the screw portion 350c, and rotatably connects the swing shaft 352 so as to contact the outer surface 326d of the handle arm 326. The swing shaft 352 has a cam surface 352 c that is eccentric with respect to a portion that is connected to the case member 354. The shaft support portion 350 has a cam receiving hole 350a that engages with the cam surface 352c. The lever member 342 is coupled to the swing shaft 352 so as to be integrally rotatable.

  In this case, when the lever member 342 is swung from the release position to the fixed position, the swing shaft 352 rotates together with the lever member 342. The swing shaft 352 has a cam surface 352c at a position eccentric with the portion connected to the case member 354, and the shaft support portion 350 has a cam receiving hole 350a that engages with the cam surface 352c. When the swing shaft 352 rotates, the shaft support portion 350 can be pulled in a direction approaching the lever member 342. Accordingly, the handle arm 326 can be tightly held by the contact portion 332 and the case member 354, and the handle arm 326 can be fixed to the handle shaft 306. Here, an eccentric cam surface 352 c is provided on the swing shaft 352 connected to the case member 354, and the shaft support portion 350 can be moved closer to and away from the handle arm 326 by rotating the swing shaft 352. . Accordingly, the handle arm 326 can be clamped and released by the contact portion 332 and the case member 354, and the handle arm 326 and the handle shaft 306 can be fixed and released. Here, since the handle arm 326 can be fixed and released without sliding with respect to the handle arm 326, the handle arm 326 is hardly damaged.
