DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a double-bearing type reel mainly used for fishing large fish such as swordfish.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A double-bearing type reel is disclosed in
No. 0-41164. As described in this publication, the dual-bearing type reel incorporates a spool 1 inside a cylindrical main body frame 2 so as to be rotatable, as shown in a sectional view of FIG. The body frame 2 has a spool 1
The side frames 2A on both sides are connected by a plurality of connecting rods 2B so that the fishing line can be wound around the connecting rods. A large through hole through which the fishing line 3 can be guided to the spool 1 is opened between the connecting rods 2B. The side frame 2A incorporates a gear and the like as driving means (not shown) for rotating the spool 1. The gear is connected to a rotation shaft of a handle 4 provided on the side frame 2A, and rotates the handle 4,
The structure is such that the spool 1 can be rotated via gears. A dual-bearing reel in which the spool 1 is rotated by a motor instead of the handle 4 is also commercially available. However, the dual-bearing type reel used for competitions has a structure in which the mechanism for driving the spool by the motor is prohibited, so that the spool is rotated by the handle.

A bearing type reel having this structure is used for trolling swordfish and the like by winding a fishing line 3 as long as about 1000 meters on a spool 1. Trolling unwinds a long fishing line from the spool to a considerable length of several hundred meters when the fish catches. The reason for pulling out the fishing line is to make the fish swim and weaken. If the spool is used to wind up the fishing line when the fish is healthy, the healthy fish will strongly pull the fishing line, and the fishing line will be severely tensioned and instantly cut. A very thin fishing line is used, which is close to the limit at which the fish can be caught. We don't use a thing that can reliably catch a fish hooked on a hook. For example,
In the trolling of swordfish, the rate at which fish caught on a bait and eaten by bait can be recovered on board is very small, less than several percent. The most important characteristic required for a dual-bearing reel is how to recover the fish caught on the hook on the ship. It is very important that the fishing line can be collected using extremely thin fishing line.

Further, a double-bearing type reel used for trolling of a large fish or the like cannot catch fish as frequently as small common fish. This makes it impossible to practice enough to lift the fish on board. In other words, the dual-bearing type reel is used with a thin fishing line near the limit and without sufficient practice,
Extremely difficult characteristics are required for reels.

[0005] In order to recover a large fish without using a thin fishing line, it is important to weaken the fish sufficiently. To achieve this, it is necessary to use long fishing lines. This is because the fishing line is extended for a long time to make the fish swim for a long time and weaken. For this reason, the spool is wound with an extremely long fishing line, for example, from 700 meters to about 1000 meters.

[0006]

A long fishing line is wound on a spool, and when a fish catches, the fishing line is fed out by several hundred meters. When the fish is weak, a handle 4 is rotated to wind out the drawn fishing line 3 on a spool 1. When the handle 4 is rotating and the fish runs violently and pulls the fishing line 3, the fishing line 3 is drawn out again, and this operation is repeated for several hours to catch a large fish such as swordfish on the boat. . When the fishing line 3 is wound by rotating the handle 4 of the dual-bearing type reel, the fishing line 3 is in a state close to the limit, and there is no room at all. For this reason, it is impossible to wind the fishing line 3 neatly and evenly around the spool 1, and the fishing line 3 is often wound around the central portion of the spool 1 and becomes like a beer barrel. First, the fishing line 3 is uniformly wound around the spool 1 in order to wind the fishing line 3 as long as possible on the spool 1. For this reason, when the fishing line 3 is paid out from the spool 1 and the fishing line 3 is rewound on the spool 1 to attract fish, the fishing line 3 comes into contact with the inner surface of the connecting rod 2B of the main body frame 2 and is easily cut. There is a disadvantage. Unfortunately, this situation occurs just at the very last moment when the fish can be weakened and hauled off board. It happens at the very last moment when a very difficult process is completed and the fish can be recovered. Furthermore, when this state is awkwardly, the state becomes further extreme, and there is no time to check the fishing line wound on the spool, and the fishing line is rubbed by the connecting rod 2B and instantly cuts. The reality is that it can get lost. To avoid this situation,
A short fishing line should be wound around the spool. However, with a short fishing line, the fish cannot be sufficiently weakened,
The fish hit by the hook will not be reliably collected on board. Also, if you make the spool larger,
A long fishing line can be wound. However, when the spool is made large, the entire dual-bearing type reel becomes large and heavy. In this type of fishing, it takes a few hours for fish to be collected on the ship, so it is extremely important to reduce the weight of the dual-bearing type reel. This is because the fatigue before catching the fish on board the boat is extremely large. That is, since the physical strength is almost at the limit in order to recover the fish on board, the reel cannot be made large and heavy.

The present invention has been developed to solve such a difficult problem of the conventional dual-bearing type reel, and an important object of the present invention is to provide a very simple structure and a long spool. An object of the present invention is to provide a dual-bearing reel that can wind a fishing line and can draw fish without checking the winding state of a spool when winding a fishing line in an extreme state.

[0008]

The dual-bearing type reel according to the present invention has the following arrangement in order to achieve the above object.
The dual-bearing type reel has a cylindrical main body frame 2 mounted on a fishing rod.
A spool 1 which is rotatably mounted inside the main body frame 2 and winds the fishing line 3; and a driving means for rotating the spool 1.

Further, in the dual-bearing type reel of the present invention, the main body frame 2 is provided with the side frames 2 located on both sides of the spool 1.
A and the side frames 2A on both sides
And at least the inner surface of all of the plurality of connecting rods 2B is swelled outward at the central portion of the spool 1 so that the inner diameter of the central portion is larger than the inner diameter of both side portions. It is characterized by being formed large.

[0010]

In the dual-bearing type reel of the present invention, the central portion of the connecting rod 2B of the main body frame 2 is expanded so that the inner diameter at the central portion is larger than the inner diameter at both sides. The dual-bearing type reel with this structure
As shown in FIG. 2, even if many fishing lines 3 are wound around the central portion of the spool 1 to form a beer barrel,
Of the connecting rod 2B.
For this reason, when a large fish like a swordfish hits the fishhook and the fishing line 3 is wound around the spool 1, it is not necessary to uniformly distribute the fishing line 3 around the spool 1 and wind it. Therefore, in the extreme state of whether or not the fishing line 3 that attracts a large fish is cut, the user concentrates on attracting the fish and does not need to pay attention to an extra state such as the winding state of the fishing line 3. Furthermore, since many fishing lines 3 can be wound around the central portion of the spool 1, the long fishing line 3 can be wound on the compact spool 1 without making the spool 1 large, and the fish is sufficiently weakened by the long fishing line 3. There is also a feature that allows you to draw efficiently. Further, the dual-bearing type reel of the present invention realizes the above-mentioned features with a very simple structure in which all the connecting rods 2B of the main body frame 2 are bent, so that extremely excellent features can be obtained without increasing the manufacturing cost. Realize.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are examples of a dual-bearing type reel for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention does not specify the dual-bearing type reel as follows.

Further, in this specification, in order to facilitate understanding of the claims, the numbers corresponding to the members shown in the embodiments will be referred to as "claims", "actions", and "actions". In the column of "Means for solving the problem". However, the members shown in the claims are
It is by no means specific to the members of the embodiment.

A dual bearing type reel shown in FIG. 2 has a cylindrical main body frame 2 mounted on a fishing rod, and a spool 1 rotatably mounted inside the main body frame 2 to wind up a fishing line 3.
A drive mechanism for rotating the spool 1 and a drag mechanism (not shown) for rotating the spool 1 when a certain tension acts on the fishing line 3 wound on the spool 1. The drive means and the drag mechanism are built in a side cover 5 fixed to the side surface of the main body frame 2. In FIG. 2, the right side cover 5 has a built-in drive unit, and the left side cover 5 has a built-in drag mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 3, the main body frame 2 includes a ring-shaped side frame 2A located on both sides of the spool 1,
It comprises a plurality of connecting rods 2B that connect the side frames 2A on both sides to cover the outer periphery of the spool 1. The main body frame 2 composed of the side frame 2A and the plurality of connecting rods 2B is integrally formed of a metal such as aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel. However, the side frame 2A on both sides and the plurality of connecting rods 2B are manufactured as separate parts, and these parts are connected by a method such as welding, bonding, or screwing to manufacture the main body frame 2. Can also.

The body frame 2 shown in FIG. 3 has two side frames 2A connected by four connecting rods 2B. FIG.
The connecting rod 2B at the bottom of the
Since the fixing member 7 connected to the connecting rod 2 is mounted, the width is wider than the other three connecting rods 2B. Side frame 2
As shown in FIG. 3, all four connecting rods 2B connecting A are expanded outward at the center of the spool 1,
The inner diameter at the center is larger than the inner diameter at both sides. In the main body frame 2 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the connecting rod 2B is curved in an arch shape, and the inner diameter at the center is made larger than the inner diameter at both sides. Further, the connecting rod 2B shown in FIG. 3 has an inner surface curved in the rotation direction of the spool 1 along the outer peripheral surface of the fishing line 3 wound on the spool 1. Connecting rod 2 of this structure
B has a feature that the width can be widened and the gap with the fishing line 3 wound on the spool 1 can be kept constant. However, in the dual-bearing type reel of the present invention, the overall shape of the connecting rod may be cylindrical or cylindrical. The cylindrical or cylindrical connecting rod is curved as a whole so that the inner diameter at the center is larger than the inner diameter at both sides.

The dual bearing type reel of the present invention makes the connecting rod inner diameter at the center larger than the inner diameter at both sides, as shown in FIG. This is to prevent contact with the inner surface of 2B. Therefore, in the dual-bearing type reel of the present invention, the entire shape of the connecting rod 2B can be curved in an arch shape as shown in FIG. 3, but as shown in FIG.
It is also possible to process only the inner surface of the first member into an arch shape so that the inner diameter at the center is larger than the inner diameter at both sides. As shown in FIG.
Main body frame 2 for bending the entire connecting rod 2B into an arch shape
Has a feature that can be reduced in weight, and as shown in FIG. 4, the main body frame 2 that cuts the inner surface into an arch shape has a feature that can be made tough.

Side frame 2 processed into a disk shape
A is fixed to a side cover 5 containing a driving means and a drag mechanism by a method such as screwing. However, the dual-bearing type reel of the present invention can also be manufactured by forming the side frame 2A of the main body frame 2 and the side cover 5 into an integral structure without using separate parts. The dual-bearing type reel, in which the side frame and the side cover are manufactured as separate parts, has a feature that in the assembling process, a process of incorporating the driving means and the drag mechanism in the side cover can be simplified. This is because a driving means and a drag mechanism can be incorporated before connecting the side cover 5 to the side frame 2A. The dual-bearing type reel having the side frame 2A and the side cover 5 integrated with each other is a side frame 2A.
There is a feature that can be made tough structure.

The dual-bearing type reel shown in FIG. 2 has a bearing (not shown) for supporting the rotating shaft of the spool 1 so as to be rotatable inside the side cover 5. The spool 1 is rotated via a rotating shaft (not shown) and a bearing.
It is disposed so as to be rotatable at the center of the main body frame 2. The dual-bearing type reel shown in FIG. 2 has a drive unit for rotating the spool 1 built in the right side cover 5. The drive means can be the same mechanism as the dual bearing type reel currently marketed and the same mechanism as that of the dual bearing type reel to be developed. The simple driving means is constituted by a rotating shaft of the handle 4 and a gear fixed to the rotating shaft of the spool 1. The handle 4 is mounted on the right side cover 5 so as to be rotatable only in the winding direction of the fishing line 3 via a one-way clutch (not shown). The gear fixed to the rotation shaft of the handle 4 is disposed so as to mesh with the gear fixed to the rotation shaft of the spool 1. In the driving means having this structure, when the handle 4 is rotated, the gear of the handle 4 rotates the rotation shaft of the spool 1 via the gear of the spool 1 to rotate the spool 1.

Further, the dual-bearing type reel shown in FIG. 2 has a drag mechanism built in the left side cover 5 (not shown). The drag mechanism is a mechanism for preventing the fishing line 3 from being cut when the fishing line 3 wound on the spool 1 is pulled with a predetermined tension or more. The drag mechanism is a mechanism that causes the spool 1 to idle when a predetermined or more tension acts on the fishing line 3. The drag mechanism is connected between the rotation shaft of the spool 1 and the spool 1. Since the rotation shaft is connected to the handle 4 via the gear and the one-way clutch, the rotation does not reverse even if a strong tension acts on the fishing line 3. The drag mechanism is spool 1 and spool 1
When a strong tension acts on the fishing line 3, the rotation shaft of the spool 1 and the spool 1 are slipped. All currently available dual-bearing reels have a built-in drag mechanism without exception. The drag mechanism may be a mechanism built into a current dual-bearing type reel or a mechanism built into a dual-bearing type reel to be developed in the future. For example, a clutch mechanism that is connected between the rotation shaft of the spool 1 and the spool 1 and slips when a rotation torque equal to or more than a certain value acts can be used as the drag mechanism.

[0020]

The dual-bearing type reel of the present invention realizes the following excellent features which are extremely important for this type of reel. It is possible to effectively prevent the fishing line wound around the central portion of the spool from breaking in contact with the inner surface of the connecting rod of the body frame. This means that when the double-bearing reel of the present invention draws a large fish caught on the hook, it is not necessary to pay attention to winding the fishing line evenly on the spool, and the focus is on drawing the fish. it can. For this reason, it is used for trolling of extremely large fish such as swordfish, etc., and in the extreme state where there is no room to pay attention to the extra, concentrate the nerve on not being able to cut the fishing line, and securely attract the fish Realize the feature that can be collected efficiently.

A long fishing line can be wound on a compact spool without increasing the size of the spool, and a large fishing line can be sufficiently weakened by the long fishing line to efficiently draw the fish. This is also very important for this type of dual bearing reel. This is because, in a state that is even more difficult than the limit at which the fishing line breaks, a large fish is drawn with a thin fishing line with extremely low probability. In particular, dual-bearing reels are frequently used in tournament games such as swordfish. In this application, the point is how large fish can be collected with a thin fishing line. In this type of fishing, the probability that the fish can be recovered even if the fish catches on the hook is extremely low. This is because the fishing line breaks when the fish goes wild. Dual bearing reels are often used in sport fishing where fishermen are not used to catch fish but rather give fish a chance to escape. In most cases, even if the fish hits the hook, the line is cut.In order to prevent the line from being cut,
It is important to weaken the fish sufficiently. The dual-bearing type reel of the present invention can wind a long fishing line on the spool, so that the hit fish can be sufficiently extended and the hit fish can be sufficiently swim and weakened. For this reason, it is possible to realize a feature that a hit fish can be surely drawn without preventing the fishing line from breaking. This achieves the most important feature of this type of reel, which is that the concentration of nerves on the attraction of the fish can be significantly increased, and the probability of recovery of hit fish can be significantly increased.

The extremely simple structure realizes the above-mentioned features which are extremely important for a dual-bearing type reel. that is,
This is because the dual-bearing type reel of the present invention realizes the above-described features with a very simple structure in which the center of the connecting rod provided on the outer periphery of the spool is expanded. Therefore, the dual-bearing type reel of the present invention has a feature that it can be easily and inexpensively mass-produced, although it is easy to use and can effectively prevent the fishing line from being cut.

[0023] Despite being able to wind a long fishing line around the spool, there is a feature that it can be made lightweight and compact. This is because a long fishing line can be wound on the spool by expanding the central portion of the connecting rod disposed outside the spool, instead of making the spool large. This is also very important for a dual-bearing reel used in this type of fishing. This is because it takes a long time to imagine a fish that hits a hook, which is too long to imagine a small fish. For large fish such as swordfish, it actually takes several hours to collect hit fish. For a long time, wind the fishing line on the spool to draw the fish, pull out the fishing line when the fish rampages, and swing the fishing rod up and down to attract the fish to apply a certain tension on the fishing line. It is a fight with. Long-life fishing rods and dual-bearing reels fixed to them are
It is very important to be lightweight. If a heavy dual-bearing reel is used, hand fatigue becomes severe, and it is not possible to make fine adjustments until the end to attract fish. The double-bearing type reel of the present invention, which is light in weight and can wind a long fishing line, has a feature that it can reduce hand fatigue when fighting with fish for a long time and can efficiently collect by focusing on attracting fish to the end. is there.
