Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention provides a double-bearing reel, in particular, a spool is freely rotatably supported between the side plates of a reel body provided with a pair of side plates, and A clutch lever having an operating piece at the tip is provided to be able to freely slide in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the spool, and the clutch can be released by pushing the operating piece of the lever to freely rotate the spool. Regarding the double bearing reel.

Conventionally, the clutch lever is slidably supported by the reel body, and has an operating piece provided at its tip that projects outward from the reel body, and when the operating piece is pressed, the clutch lever built in the reel body is activated. The clutch is turned off and returned to its original position by rotating the handle, thereby connecting the clutch.

By the way, when the clutch is disengaged by pressing the operation piece, the spool rotates freely, so when casting with the fishing line reeled in and the hook hook located near the tip of the fishing rod, the operation described above is not necessary. After the clutch is disconnected by pushing the clutch, a finger is pressed against the outer surface of the spool, that is, the outer layer of the fishing line wound on the spool, thereby stopping the free rotation of the spool.

This is because if the free rotation of the spool is not stopped, the spool will rotate freely due to the weight of the fishing tackle, and the fishing tackle, which has been purposely positioned near the tip of the fishing tackle, will fall to the ground for casting. be.

However, in conventionally provided double-bearing reels, the position of the operating piece is distant from the spool, and when the finger pressing the operating piece stops the free rotation of the spool, it is not a push operation. There is a time lag between the free rotation and the stop, causing the fishing tackle to be misaligned, and as a result, there is a problem in that good casting cannot be performed.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a double-bearing reel that can stop the free rotation of the spool in succession to the pressing operation of the operating piece and at the same time. , a reel main body having a pair of first and second side plates, the spool being freely rotatably supported between the respective side plates, and outwardly of the second side plate of the reel main body;
A clutch lever having an operating piece at the tip is provided to freely slide in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the spool, and the clutch is released by pushing the operating piece of the lever, allowing the spool to rotate freely. In the bearing reel, the operating piece of the clutch lever is projected from the inner surface of the second side plate toward the spool with respect to the lever, and at a position facing the flange on the second side plate side of the spool, The length of the clutch lever is such that when the operating piece is pressed, the operating piece comes into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the flange, and the outer edge of the second side plate facing the operating piece is is located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange.

The pinion 6 is configured by providing a cylindrical portion having a non-circular inner surface that engages with the flat surface, and the pinion 6
The spool shaft 3 and the spool 2 fixed to the spool shaft are made freely rotatable by separating the cylindrical portion from the flat surface forming portion of the spool shaft 3 by operating the clutch lever 8.

Further, the clutch lever 8 is connected to the pinion 6.
A clutch yoke 30 that holds the clutch lever 8 and constantly presses the clutch 7 in the direction of engagement constitutes an operating mechanism, and the clutch lever 8
It has a fork shape with a pressing portion 81 that presses the clutch yoke 30, and an operating piece 82 is provided at the tip. The clutch lever 8 is supported by the splicing plate 14 through a pin 31 fixed in a direction perpendicular to the spool shaft 3 and an elongated hole 83 of the lever 8 so as to freely reciprocate, and is also supported by a return spring (see FIG. (not shown) in the backward movement direction, and presses the operating piece 82 of the clutch lever 8 to move the clutch yoke 30 in the axial direction, thereby moving the pinion 6 and disengaging the clutch 7. It is.

Also, by rotating the handle 22, the reversal prevention plate 2
4 is pressed against a contact member (not shown) provided at the tip of the clutch lever 8, and the clutch lever 8 is moved back to its original position by the force of the return spring, whereby the pinion 6 of,
The clutch 7 is moved by the pressing force of the clutch yoke 30 to engage the clutch 7. Note that the clutch lever 8 is connected to the splice plate 14.
It is made to be able to swing around the pin 31 which is fixed to the splint 14, and has an engaging part at its tip, and by engaging this engaging part with the stepped part of the notch provided in the splint 14. The clutch lever 8 can be held at the forward movement end position.

In the reel configured as described above, this invention is such that the operating piece 82 of the clutch lever 8 is positioned closer to the spool 2 than the inner surface of the second side plate 12 with respect to the lever 8, and The clutch lever is made to protrude to a position facing the side flange of the side plate 12, and the length of the clutch lever is set so that when the operation piece 82 is pressed, the operation piece 82 comes close to the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool 2. On the other hand, the outer edge of the second side plate 12 facing the operating piece 82 is located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool 2.

What is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is the second side plate 1.
2. The outer edges of the splint 14 and the cover 4 near the supporting position of the lever 8 are located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool 2.

When the reel configured as described above is attached to a fishing rod for casting, first, the handle 22 is rotated to wind up and position the fishing tackle to be attached to the tip of the fishing line close to the tip of the fishing rod, and then the clutch is The operation is carried out by pushing the operating piece 82 of the lever 8 to disengage the clutch 7 and stop the free rotation of the spool 2. After that, the fishing rod is transferred and the fishing tackle is thrown.
When the clutch 7 is disengaged by pushing the operating piece 82, the operating piece 82 will be located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool 2 at the forward movement end position of the clutch lever 8, and the operating piece 82 will be located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool 2. The tip of the thumb F that operates the spool 82 comes into contact with or comes close enough to touch the outer circumferential surface L of the fishing line wound around the spool 2, and this thumb allows the user to press the operating piece 82. Free rotation of the spool 2 can be locked continuously and rapidly.

Therefore, the free rotation of the spool 2 can be stopped almost simultaneously with the disengagement of the clutch 7, and during casting, the falling of the fishing tackle due to its own weight can be minimized, and the casting Staying can be done well.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outer edge of the cover 4 is brought close to the outer peripheral surface of the bearing housing 16, but it may be formed as shown in FIG. 3.
The one shown in Figure 3 is a left-hand drive.
A splicing plate 17 forming a gear case and a bowl-shaped cover 18 are attached to the side plate 11, and the outer edge of the cover 18 is made to protrude outward from the outer peripheral surface of the bearing housing 15, and the first side plate 11
The outer edge of the splint 17 is bent into a substantially L shape to provide a recessed portion 50 at the support position of the lever 8, and the outer edge of the recessed portion 50 is connected to the spool 2.
It may be placed close to the outer peripheral surface of the flange.

Moreover, the one shown in FIG. 3 can also be applied to the right-hand drive version shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

As described above, the present invention supports a spool in a freely rotatable manner between each side plate of a reel body having a pair of first and second side plates, and also has a tip disposed on the outside of the second side plate of the reel body. A double bearing in which a clutch lever having an operating piece is provided to be able to freely slide in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the spool, and the clutch is disengaged by pushing the operating piece of the lever so that the spool can freely rotate. In the reel, the operating piece of the clutch lever projects from the inner surface of the second side plate toward the spool with respect to the lever and at a position facing the flange on the second side plate side of the spool, and The length of the clutch lever is such that when the operation piece is pressed, the operation piece approaches the outer circumferential surface of the flange, and the outer edge of the second side plate facing the operation piece is Since it is located near the outer circumferential surface of the flange, when the operating piece is pushed, the operating piece comes close enough to contact the outer circumferential surface of the spool or the outer layer of the fishing line wound around the spool. When using an operating finger to stop the free rotation of the spool when the clutch is disengaged, the finger can easily and quickly move from the pushing operation of the operating piece to the stopping operation of the spool in a continuous motion. Free rotation can be stopped quickly.

Therefore, when casting, the position of the fishing tackle can be maintained at the optimum position for casting, and casting can always be carried out well.

Moreover, since the operating piece of the clutch lever provided on the outside of the second side plate has a length that projects to a position facing the second side plate side flange on the spool, the finger that presses the operating piece can be used to press the operating piece. Although the free rotation of the spool can be quickly stopped, when the clutch is engaged, the thumb of the hand holding the fishing rod is pressed against the outer layer of the fishing line wound around the spool and the operation piece of the clutch lever gets in the way. This allows for easy summation without being affected. In other words, since the clutch operation position is separated from the summing operation position,
When thumbing as described above, that is, when thumbing with the clutch engaged, there is no possibility of accidentally pushing the operating piece and disengaging the clutch. Therefore, it is possible to reliably catch a fish caught on a hook by thumbing it up, but in case the clutch disengages by mistake, the spool rotates freely and the fishing line wound around the spool becomes free due to the tension of the fish. The fish that you have worked so hard to catch will never go away.
