DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel, a dual-bearing reel mounted on a fishing rod and winding a fishing line around an axis different from the fishing rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A dual bearing reel is a reel that winds a fishing line around an axis parallel to an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of a fishing rod. The dual-bearing reel has a reel body mounted on a fishing rod, a handle rotatably mounted on the reel body, and a spool for a bobbin rotatably supported on the reel body,
A handle rotation transmission mechanism for transmitting rotation of the handle to the spool, and a clutch mechanism provided in a transmission path of the handle rotation transmission mechanism are provided. There is also a type provided with a level wind mechanism for aligning and winding a fishing line around a spool. The level wind mechanism has a screw shaft arranged in front of the spool in parallel with the spool, and a fishing line guide moving in the spool axis direction by the screw shaft. In the apparatus having the level wind mechanism, a spool rotation transmitting mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the spool to the screw shaft is further provided. The spool rotation transmission mechanism usually has a drive gear fixed to the spool shaft on the side opposite to the handle mounting side.

[0003] A dual-bearing reel of this type is known which has a spool sounding mechanism capable of sounding when the spool rotates, regardless of whether the clutch mechanism is on or off, and switching between a sound-enabled state and a sound-disabled state. I have. If such a spool sounding mechanism is provided, it can be set to a sound-enabled state when fishing, and can be switched to a sound-disabled state when a mechanism is thrown in or rolled up. This can be notified, and the rotation resistance can be reduced when the device is thrown in or wound up.

A conventional spool sounding mechanism includes a rotating member arranged side by side with a spool on a side opposite to a spool shaft and a handle mounting side, a sound generating member vibrating upon contact with the rotating member, and a sound generating member as a rotating member. An operating mechanism is provided for moving to a sounding position to contact and a separating position to separate from the rotating member. The sound output member is provided on the reel body so as to be able to freely contact and separate from the rotating member. The operation mechanism can be operated on the side opposite to the handle mounting side of the reel body. In this spool sounding mechanism, for example, at the time of winding up or loading of a device, the sound output member is operated to the separated position by the operating mechanism to reduce the rotational resistance. After putting in the device, the sound output member is arranged at the contact position, and the sound is generated by the rotation of the spool.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned conventional configuration,
In particular, when the drive gear of the spool rotation transmitting mechanism is mounted on the spool shaft, the drive gear and the rotating member must be arranged side by side on the spool shaft. For this reason, there is a problem that the axial length of the spool shaft becomes longer, which hinders downsizing of the reel. This problem becomes more conspicuous when the brake mechanism for braking the spool is mounted on the side opposite to the handle mounting side of the spool. The portion of the reel body opposite to the handle mounting side is a portion that frequently contacts when performing palming or the like. For this reason, if the operating mechanism is provided on the side opposite to the handle mounting side, the operating mechanism may hit the palm and cause erroneous operation. Further, the operation mechanism provided on the handle mounting side may interfere with the palming, and may cause a feeling of strangeness during the palming.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a dual-bearing reel having a spool sound generating mechanism, which does not increase the size of the reel, prevents erroneous operations, and facilitates palming.

[0007]

A dual-bearing reel according to a first aspect of the present invention is a reel mounted on a fishing rod and configured to wind a fishing line around an axis different from the fishing rod. The vehicle includes a spool, a handle, a handle rotation transmission mechanism, a clutch mechanism, a level wind mechanism, a spool rotation transmission mechanism, and a spool sounding mechanism. The spool for the bobbin is rotatably mounted inside the reel body. The handle is rotatably mounted on one side of the reel body. The handle rotation transmission mechanism is a mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the handle to the spool. The clutch mechanism is a mechanism that is provided in the middle of the transmission path of the handle rotation transmission mechanism and connects and disconnects the handle and the spool. A level wind mechanism is disposed along the rotation axis of the spool in front of the spool, and rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the spool in the yarn winding and yarn feeding directions.
A fishing line guide that reciprocates along a rotation axis by a screw shaft, and a mechanism for aligning and winding the fishing line on a spool. The spool rotation transmission mechanism is a mechanism that transmits rotation from the spool to the screw shaft. The spool sounding mechanism is
A rotating member provided on the handle mounting side of the screw shaft, a sounding member vibrating by contact with a rotating rotating member provided on the reel body so as to be able to come into contact with and separate from the rotating member; An operating mechanism movably provided on the handle mounting side of the reel body to move the sounding member to a position separated from the rotating member.

In this dual-bearing reel, when the handle and the spool are connected by the clutch mechanism and the handle is rotated, the spool rotates via the handle rotation transmission mechanism. When the spool rotates, the rotation is transmitted to the screw shaft by the spool rotation transmission mechanism, and the fishing line guide of the level wind mechanism reciprocates along the spool axis, whereby the fishing line is aligned with the spool and wound. Further, when the spool and the handle are shut off by the clutch mechanism, the spool is freely rotatable, and the fishing line can be paid out from the spool. At this time, even if the spool rotates, the rotation is transmitted to the screw shaft via the spool rotation transmission mechanism, and the fishing line guide reciprocates. In addition, when the spool rotates, the rotating member provided on the handle mounting side of the screw shaft rotates, and when the sounding member is disposed at the sounding position and is in contact with the rotating member, the sounding member vibrates and sounds. I do. When the sounding member is located at the separated position and separated from the rotating member, no sound is generated. The operation of moving the sound output member can be performed by an operation mechanism arranged on the handle mounting side of the reel body.

Here, since the operating mechanism is arranged on the handle mounting side of the reel body, the operating mechanism does not come into contact when performing palming or the like. For this reason, it does not hinder the palming and does not easily cause a sense of incongruity, and no erroneous operation occurs even when the palming is performed. In addition, since the rotating member is mounted on the handle mounting side of the screw shaft, the axial length of the spool shaft can be shorter than when the rotating member is mounted on the spool shaft, and there is no possibility that the reel will become large.

A dual-bearing reel according to a second aspect of the present invention is a reel mounted on a fishing rod and winding a fishing line around an axis different from the fishing rod, the reel body mounted on the fishing rod, a spool for winding a line, a handle, and A handle rotation transmission mechanism, a clutch mechanism, a level wind mechanism, a spool rotation transmission mechanism, and a spool sound generation mechanism are provided. The spool for the bobbin is rotatably mounted inside the reel body. The handle is rotatably mounted on one side of the reel body. The handle rotation transmission mechanism is a mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the handle to the spool. The clutch mechanism is a mechanism that is provided in the middle of the transmission path of the handle rotation transmission mechanism and connects and disconnects the handle and the spool.
The level wind mechanism is disposed in front of the spool along the rotation axis of the spool, and rotates along with the rotation of the spool in the line winding direction and the line unwinding direction. The fishing line guide moves along the rotation axis by the screw axis. And a mechanism for aligning and winding the fishing line around the spool. The spool rotation transmission mechanism is provided separately from the handle rotation transmission mechanism, and is a mechanism for transmitting rotation from the spool to the screw shaft on the handle mounting side of the spool. The spool sounding mechanism includes a sound generating member that vibrates by contact between a rotating member provided on the spool rotation transmitting mechanism, a rotating member provided on the reel body so as to be able to come and go with the rotating member, and a contact with the rotating member. An operating mechanism movably provided on the handle mounting side of the reel body to move the sounding member between a sound generating position and a separating position separated from the rotating member.

In this dual-bearing reel, when the handle and the spool are connected by the clutch mechanism and the handle is rotated, the spool rotates via the handle rotation transmission mechanism. When the spool rotates, the rotation is transmitted to the screw shaft by the spool rotation transmission mechanism, and the fishing line guide of the level wind mechanism reciprocates along the spool axis, whereby the fishing line is aligned with the spool and wound. Further, when the spool and the handle are shut off by the clutch mechanism, the spool is freely rotatable, and the fishing line can be paid out from the spool. At this time, even if the spool rotates, the rotation is transmitted to the screw shaft via the spool rotation transmission mechanism, and the fishing line guide reciprocates. When the spool rotates, the rotating member provided in the spool rotation transmission mechanism rotates, and when the sounding member is located at the sounding position and is in contact with the rotating member, the sounding member vibrates and sounds. Further, when the sounding member is located at the separating position and separated from the rotating member, no sound is generated. The operation of moving the sound output member can be performed by an operation mechanism arranged on the handle mounting side of the reel body.

In this case, since the operating mechanism is arranged on the handle mounting side of the reel body, the operating mechanism does not contact when performing the palming or the like. No erroneous operation occurs. In addition, since the rotating member is provided on the spool rotation transmitting mechanism arranged on the handle mounting side, the axial length of the spool shaft is shorter than when the rotating member is mounted on the spool shaft side by side with the spool rotation transmitting mechanism. Therefore, there is no possibility that the size of the reel is increased.

A dual-bearing reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the reel according to the first or second aspect, wherein the operating mechanism is movably disposed on a handle mounting side of the reel body between a first position and a second position. And a moving member for disposing the sound producing member at the separated position by moving the operating member to the first position and moving the sound producing member to the sound generating position by moving to the second position. In this case, when the operating member is swung to the first position, the sounding member is arranged at the separated position via the moving member, and when the operating member is swung to the second position, it is arranged at the sounding position. Here, since the sound output member is connected to the operation member via the moving member, the mounting position of the operation member can be arranged at a position where the operation member can be easily operated.

A dual-bearing reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the reel of the third aspect, wherein the operating member is exposed on the outer peripheral surface opposite to the fishing rod mounting portion across the spool of the reel body. In this case, since the operation member is arranged on the upper part of the normal upper-use reel, the operation member can be easily recognized by the angler.

A dual bearing reel according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the reel according to the fourth aspect, wherein the operation member is disposed near the rotation axis of the handle. In this case, the operating member can be operated with the hand that operates the handle without changing the reel.

A dual-bearing reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the reel according to any one of the third to fifth aspects, wherein the operating member is swingably disposed on the reel body between a first position and a second position. In this case, since the operation member is swung, the attachment of the operation member is easy.

A dual-bearing reel according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the reel according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, further comprising a brake mechanism disposed on a side opposite to a handle mounting side of the spool to brake the spool. In this case, even if the brake mechanism is provided on the side opposite to the handle mounting side, the axial length of the spool shaft is short, and there is no possibility that the reel will be enlarged.

The sound output gear 45 is a gear having a large number of straight teeth on the outer periphery, and is mounted on the screw shaft 33 so as not to rotate. Thereby, the sound output gear 45 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the screw shaft 33.

The sounding claw 46 is a member having a sharp tip 46a, and a coil spring 55 locked on its side.
Urged in a direction approaching the sound output gear 45 obliquely downward. However, since the biasing direction of the coil spring 55 is biased toward the handle shaft 30, the sound output gear 45
The biasing force on the sounding claw 46 changes in accordance with the rotation direction of. The sounding claw 46 is attached to the side plate 9 with the sounding gear 45.
And is separated from the sound output gear 45 and is separated from the sound output gear 45, and is connected to one end of the connection link 48 in a state where the swing accuracy is regulated. Sound claws 4
A long hole 46b is formed in a connection portion between the connection link 6 and the connection link 48. A connection pin 56 is mounted in the long hole 46b, and is connected to the connection link 48 by the connection pin 56. Therefore, the sounding claw is movable with respect to the connecting link 48 in the longitudinal direction of the connecting link 48 by the length of the elongated hole. As a result, the sounding claw 46 disposed at the sounding position swings when the sounding gear 45 rotates, and also retreats and vibrates radially outward of the sounding gear 45 to generate a crisp loud sound. it can.

The operating lever 47 can take a separating position shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2 and a sound output position shown by a solid line. The operation lever 47 has a lever portion 47a and a cam portion 47b to which the lever portion 47a is non-rotatably connected.

The other end of the connection link 48 is swingably connected to the cam projection 47c. The tip of the cam projection 47c is engaged with an arc-shaped groove 9a formed in the side plate 9, so that the swing angle of the operation lever 47 is between the separated position and the sound output position indicated by the two-dot chain line. Is regulated. A toggle spring 57 having one end locked to the side plate 9 is provided on the cam portion 47b.
Are locked, and are biased by the toggle spring 57 so as to be divided into the separated position and the sound output position.

The connecting link 48 is a plate-shaped member, and is provided to convert the swing of the operation lever 47 into the movement of the sounding claw 46 in the direction of coming into contact with or separating from the sounding gear 45. As described above, the connection link 48 has the sound output claw 4 connected to the one end by the connection pin 56 and the other end connected to the cam portion 47b of the operation lever 47 by the cam protrusion 47c. A side plate 9 is provided at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the connecting link 48.
A guide groove 48a guided by a guide pin 58 screwed and fixed is formed.

Here, the screw 3 of the level wind mechanism 18
The reason why the sound output gear 45 of the spool sounding mechanism 27 is mounted on the handle mounting side end of No. 3 is as follows. That is,
When the sound output gear is mounted on the handle mounting side of the spool 12 or the spool shaft 20, for example, it must be disposed in the axial direction with the pinion gear 31 of the clutch mechanism 21, or disposed on the outer peripheral side of the pinion gear 31. In the former case, the length in the spool axis direction becomes longer, and in the latter case, the configuration of the sounding gear becomes complicated. However, this is because the above-mentioned problem does not occur if it is mounted on the screw shaft 33.

[Reel Operation and Operation During Actual Fishing] When performing the casting, the operation lever 47 is set to the separating position so that the spool sounding mechanism 27 does not sound. Thereby, the resistance to the spool 12 decreases. Then, the clutch lever 17 is pressed downward to bring the clutch mechanism 21 into the clutch off state. In this clutch off state, the spool 12 is in a free rotation state, and when casting is performed, the fishing line
It is fed out vigorously from.

When the device has landed, the handle 2 is rotated in the line winding direction, the clutch mechanism 21 is turned on by a clutch return mechanism (not shown), and the reel body 1 is turned on.
And wait for Atari. At the same time, the operation lever 47 is swung from the separated position to the sounding position. Since the operation lever 47 is disposed on the handle mounting side of the reel body 1, the operation lever 47 does not touch the hand when performing palming or the like. For this reason, it does not hinder the palming and does not easily cause a sense of incongruity, and no erroneous operation occurs even when the palming is performed. Also, since the sound output gear 45 is mounted on the handle mounting side of the screw shaft 33, the axial length of the spool shaft 20 is shorter than when a rotating member is mounted on the spool shaft 20, and the reel can be made larger. There is no possibility of inviting.

When the operating lever 47 is swung to the sounding posture, the connecting link 48 connected to the cam projection 47 c is guided by the guide shaft 58 and moves in the direction approaching the sounding gear 45, and is attached by the coil spring 55. Energetic sound claws 46
Moves from the separation position to the sound output position. As a result, the sounding claw 46 comes into contact with the sounding gear 45. In this state, when the spool 12 rotates in the line winding direction or the line unwinding direction due to rotation of the handle 2 or pulling of a fish, the rotation is transmitted to the screw shaft 33 via the spool rotation transmission mechanism 29,
When the level wind mechanism 18 operates, the screw shaft 33
The sounding gear 45 mounted on the horn rotates repeatedly to collide with the sounding claw 46, and the sounding claw 46 vibrates to generate sound.
At this time, since the biasing force of the coil spring 55 is biased, the force with which the sounding claw 46 contacts the sounding gear 45 differs depending on the rotation direction of the spool 12, and the rotation direction can be determined based on the generated sound.

Further, the clutch lever 21 may be kept in the clutch-off state while the mechanism is engaged, and the operation lever 47 may be swung to the sounding posture. For example, in the case of fishing using live bait, such as swimming fishing, the braking force of the spool 12 may be adjusted by the casting control mechanism 24 to keep the clutch off. In this case, the fish is put on the live bait and the spool 1
Since it is pronounced when 2 rotates in the line feeding direction, it is immediately apparent that a fish has caught even if it is placed on a pole.

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, since the spool rotation transmission mechanism 29 is on the side opposite to the handle mounting side, a sound output gear as a rotating member is arranged on the screw shaft 33 on the handle mounting side. did. However, when the spool rotation transmitting mechanism is on the handle mounting side, a gear constituting the spool rotation transmitting mechanism or a gear meshing with the gear is used as a rotating member, and the sounding member is brought into contact with or separated from the rotating member. You may. In this case, it is preferable to make the sounding claw contact a member interlocking with the gear, rather than directly contacting the sounding claw with the gear constituting the spool rotation transmission mechanism, in consideration of the life of the transmission component and the like.

(B) In the above embodiment, the operating lever 47 as the operating member is swung. However, the moving form of the operating member is not limited to the swing, but may be a linear movement or another movement. .

(C) In the above embodiment, the rotating member is constituted by a gear and the sounding member is constituted by a claw. However, the structure of the rotating member and the sounding member is not limited to this, and sound is generated by relative rotation at the time of contact. Any configuration may be used as long as the configuration is as follows.

(D) In the above-described embodiment, the centrifugal brake mechanism 25 is exemplified as the brake mechanism. However, the configuration of the brake mechanism is not limited to the centrifugal type, but may be a magnet type or a combination thereof. included.

[0054]

According to the present invention, since the operating mechanism is disposed on the handle mounting side of the reel body, the operating mechanism does not come into contact when performing palming or the like. For this reason, it does not hinder the palming and does not easily cause a sense of incongruity, and no erroneous operation occurs even when the palming is performed. In addition, since the rotating member is mounted on the handle mounting side of the screw shaft, the axial length of the spool shaft can be shorter than when the rotating member is mounted on the spool shaft, and there is no possibility that the reel will become large.
