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 when the lever's operating piece is pressed, the clutch is released and the spool can freely rotate. 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 state 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. A time lag occurs between the free rotation and the stop, causing the fishing tackle to be misaligned, resulting in a problem in which 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 front spool almost simultaneously with the pressing operation of the operating piece. The reel body has a pair of first and second side plates, and the spool is freely rotatably supported between the side plates of the reel body, and an operating piece is provided at the tip of the reel body on the outside of the second side plate. A double-bearing reel in which a clutch lever is provided to freely slide in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the spool, and the clutch is disengaged by pushing an operating piece of the lever to allow the spool to rotate freely, The operating piece of the clutch lever is made to protrude toward the spool from the inner surface of the second side plate with respect to the lever, and the outer surface of the operating piece is inclined so that its tip is displaced toward the center 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 peripheral surface of the flange of the spool, and the outer edge of the side plate facing the operating piece is is located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool.

The bearing housings 15 and 16 supported by the spool 2 are provided with large diameter cylindrical parts 15a and 16a having a slightly larger diameter than the flange outer diameter of the spool 2 on the outer periphery, and cylindrical small diameter bearing parts 15a and 16b in the center. Each of the housings 15, 16, 41 includes a bearing 9,
8 and 10 are supported internally.

Further, the master gear 5 is freely inserted into the protruding portion of the handle shaft 20 into the cover 4, and the friction plate 23 and the reverse rotation prevention plate 24 having a plurality of protrusions 24a are made non-rotatable. The rotational force from the handle shaft 20 is transmitted to the master gear 5 through the friction plate 23.

Further, the clutch 7 is provided with a flat surface in the middle part of the spool shaft 3, and the pinion 6
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 groove, 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 reverse rotation prevention plate 2
4 is pressed against a contact body (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
is moved by the pressing force of the clutch yoke 30 to engage the clutch 7.

The clutch lever 8 is capable of swinging around the pin 31 fixed to the splint 14, and has an engaging portion at its tip, which is connected to the splint 14. The clutch lever 8 can be held at the forward movement end position by engaging the stepped portion of the notch provided in the clutch lever 8.

In the reel configured as described above, this invention makes the operating piece 82 of the clutch lever 8 protrude from the inner surface of the second side plate 12 toward the spool 2 with respect to the lever 8, and The outer surface is inclined so that its tip is displaced toward the center of the spool 2, and the length of the clutch lever is adjusted such that when the operating piece 82 is pressed, the operating piece 82 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool 2. The outer edge of the second side plate 12 facing the operation piece 82 is
It 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. The operation is carried out by pushing the operating piece 82 of the clutch lever 8 to disengage the clutch 7 and stopping 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 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 disengaged. The tip of the operating thumb F contacts or approaches the outer peripheral surface L of the fishing line wound around the spool 2, and the thumb moves along the operating piece 82 in the pushing operation direction. The spool 2 can easily be slid forward and separated from the operating piece 82 in the forward direction of the pushing operation, and the free rotation of the spool 2 can be quickly locked following the pushing operation of the operating piece 82. .

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.

The above-mentioned items are all related to the handle 22.
Although this is a right-hand drive type with the holder mounted on the right side, it goes without saying that it can also be applied to a left-hand drive type.

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, allowing the spool to rotate freely. In the reel, the operating piece of the clutch lever is made to protrude toward the spool from the inner surface of the second side plate with respect to the lever, and the outer surface of the operating piece is such that its tip is displaced toward the center of the spool. and the length of the clutch lever is such that when the operating piece is pressed, the clutch lever is close enough to contact the outer peripheral surface of the flange of the spool, while facing the operating piece. Since the outer edge of the side plate is located near the outer circumferential surface of the flange of the spool, when the operating piece is pressed, the operating piece is close enough to contact the outer circumferential surface of the spool or the outer layer of the fishing line wound on the spool. At the same time, the finger that operates this operating piece tends to slide forward in the pushing direction along the operating piece and separate from the operating piece forward in the pushing direction. When stopping the free rotation of the spool when the clutch is disengaged, the finger can be easily and quickly moved from the pressing operation of the operating piece to the stopping operation of the spool in a continuous motion, and the free rotation of the spool can be quickly stopped. It can be stopped.

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.
