Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a handle that is connected to a drive mechanism of a reel body of a fishing reel and performs a winding operation of a fishing line.

In general, a handle (hereinafter referred to as a handle knob) gripped by a finger to rotate the handle is attached to an end portion of a handle arm section (hereinafter referred to as a handle arm) connected to a driving mechanism of a fishing reel. Is supported rotatably. The shape of the handle knob varies depending on the type, size, fishing method, and the like of the reel, but in many cases, it is T-shaped (for example, see Patent Document 1) or I-shape (for example, see Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3). ). Further, as the I-shape, those having a substantially oval shape in the side view in the axial direction, circular shapes in the side view in the axial direction, and the like are known.

  By the way, when the handle knob has a T-shape as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the direction in which the handle knob is sandwiched between fingers is inevitably defined. In other words, the T-shaped handle knob is composed of a shaft portion extending from the handle arm and a sandwiching portion (portion sandwiched by fingers) extending perpendicularly to the tip of the shaft portion. A certain directionality will occur when sandwiched between. Therefore, when the gripping direction of the finger holding the handle knob does not coincide with the direction defined by the T-shape, there is a situation where the handle knob has to be regripped so that the handle can be operated smoothly. Can occur.

  Further, as described above, since the T-shaped handle knob is composed of a shaft portion and a sandwiching portion orthogonal to the shaft portion, a sense of stability when gripping and operating the sandwiching portion with a thumb and an index finger or The feel (fitting of fingers) is poor (unnecessary play and gaps occur on the handle knob side facing the handle arm and the handle knob side facing the handle arm), and smooth winding and rotating operation is possible There is a problem that it is difficult to do.

  On the other hand, when the handle knob has an I shape as disclosed in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, the direction of the handle knob does not occur as in the T-shaped handle knob. There is no problem of having to re-grip. However, the holding area portion of the I-shaped handle knob has a generally thick shape (large diameter) in the radial direction and there is little change in the outer diameter along the axial direction. There are few hooks of fingers. For this reason, it is difficult for fingers to fit the handle knob (poor fit), and it is also difficult to clearly detect a delicate fish hit through the finger gripping the handle knob (the fish confidence sensitivity when holding operation) Inferior).

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above circumstances, and the object of the present invention is that the direction of pinching of the finger with respect to the handle knob is not defined, and the finger is easy to fit with respect to the handle knob. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel handle having excellent sexiness and sensitivity.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a handle arm coupled to a drive shaft of a reel body of a fishing reel, a support shaft fixed to an end of the handle arm, and a bearing on the support shaft. And a handle knob having a substantially circular cross section in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction thereof, wherein the handle knob is adjacent to the handle arm. A root-side end portion, a tip portion opposite to the root-side end portion, a bulge portion whose outer diameter continuously increases along the axial direction toward the tip portion, and the bulge portion And a pinching portion including a small-diameter region formed between the base-side end portion and having an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the bearing.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a fishing reel handle excellent in gripping property and fish reliability, in which a finger clamping direction with respect to the handle knob is not specified, and the finger is easily fitted to the handle knob. .

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a spinning reel 1 as a fishing reel of this embodiment includes a reel body 1a, a leg portion 1b extending from the reel body 1a, and an end portion of the leg portion 1b. And a rod attachment portion 1c that is formed and attached to a fishing rod (not shown). A handle shaft 2 as a drive shaft to which the handle 5 is fixed is rotatably supported in the reel body 1a. A drive gear 3 is fixed to the handle shaft 2, and the drive gear 3 extends in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft 2 and is a tubular pinion that is rotatably supported on the reel body 1 a via a bearing. The gear 13 is engaged. A rotor 8 having a bale 6 and a fishing line guide device 15 is integrally attached to the tip of the pinion gear 13 via a rotor nut 32.

  A spool shaft 9 extending in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft 2 passes through the pinion gear 13. In this case, the spool shaft 9 is arranged concentrically with the pinion gear 13 and can move back and forth along a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft 2. A spool 10 around which a fishing line is wound is attached to the tip of the spool shaft 9.

  The drive gear 3 is engaged with an oscillating mechanism (not shown) via a pinion gear 13. The oscillating mechanism includes a worm shaft (traverse cam shaft) that meshes with the pinion gear 13 and rotates, and a slider that meshes with the groove of the worm shaft and is nonmovable in the axial direction with respect to the spool shaft 9. Thus, when the handle shaft 2 is rotated by the rotating operation of the handle 5, the spool shaft 9 is reciprocated (back and forth) along the axial direction.

  In such a configuration, when the handle shaft 2 is rotated by rotating the handle 5, the spool 10 attached to the spool shaft 9 reciprocates back and forth via the oscillating mechanism, and the drive gear 3 and the pinion The rotor 8 is rotationally driven via the gear 13.

  Further, as clearly shown in FIG. 2, the handle shaft 2 extends so as to intersect the spool shaft 9 in the reel body 1a so that the handle 5 can be replaced on the left and right. Specifically, both side portions of the handle shaft 2 are rotatably supported by the reel body 1a via bearings, and the left and right end portions of the handle shaft 2 to which the handle 5 is fixed are on both left and right sides of the reel body 1a. In order to face it, it is positioned in the openings formed on the left and right sides of the reel body 1a.

  On the other hand, the handle 5 that is detachably attached to the handle shaft 2 is a handle arm 5a that is coupled to the handle shaft 2, a support shaft 20 that is attached and fixed to the tip of the handle arm 5a, and a support shaft 20 that can be rotated freely. It consists of a handle knob (handle knob) 5b that is stopped.

  As clearly shown in FIG. 3, the handle knob 5b is formed of a knob body 22 preferably made of a material having good vibration transmission properties such as metal, carbon, etc., and is located at the base located close to the handle arm 5a. It has a side end 22a and a tip 22b opposite to the root end 22a. Further, as clearly shown in FIG. 4, the knob main body 22 has a circular cross-sectional shape in a plane orthogonal to the axial direction. Further, the knob main body 22 (handle knob 5b) is mounted substantially coaxially via a bearing 28 so as to surround the support shaft 20 over substantially the entire length thereof. Specifically, the root side end portion 22a and the tip end portion 22b of the knob main body 22 are rotatably supported by the support shaft 20 via bearings 28, respectively.

  Further, on the distal end side of the knob main body 22 (handle knob 5b), a huge portion 22c having an outer diameter continuously increasing along the axial direction toward the distal end portion 22b is formed. In this case, the enormous portion 22c has a smooth circular arc on the outer surface, and is formed so that the fingers of the hand can be easily placed (the fingers can be fitted). Further, a sandwiching portion 22d that is curved in a concave shape along the axial direction is formed between the enormous portion 22c and the base-side end portion 22a, preferably at a substantially central portion of the knob main body 22. The sandwiching portion 22d has a small-diameter region 25 whose outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the bearing 28 at its substantially central portion.

  As described above, the handle knob 5b of the present embodiment has a substantially I shape with a substantially circular cross-section in a plane orthogonal to the axial direction thereof, and thus, like a T-shaped handle knob. There is no directionality (no directionality when pinching with a finger), and therefore there is no problem that the handle knob 5b has to be re-gripped. Therefore, the handle 5 can be quickly rotated according to the change in the fishing ground situation.

Further, the handle knob 5b of the present embodiment is formed between the enormous portion 22c whose outer diameter continuously increases along the axial direction toward the distal end portion 22b, and the enormous portion 22c and the root side end portion 22a. In addition, the holding portion 22 d includes a small diameter region 25 whose outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the bearing 28. That is, there is a change in the outer diameter along the axial direction, and the fingers 40 and 42 when sandwiched as shown in FIG. 5 are in the outer shape change portion (portion extending from the enormous portion 22c to the small diameter region 25 of the sandwiching portion 22d). It can be easily hooked. Moreover, since the sandwiching portion 22d is formed in a concave shape along the axial direction, for example, the gripping portion 22d is gripped and operated by the thumb 40 and the index finger 42, and the stability and feel (fitting of the finger) is achieved. Good (good fit with the shape of the fingers to hold (the thumb 40 and the tip of the abdomen of the forefinger 42)), and can perform a smooth winding and rotating operation, and the delicate fish hits through the fingers holding the handle knob 5b. Can be clearly detected (excellent fish confidence when holding). In the present embodiment, by setting the outer diameter of the small-diameter region 25 of the sandwiching portion 22d to be smaller than the outer diameter of the bearing 28, the fit of the finger is enhanced and the formation of the concave curve of the sandwiching portion 22d is promoted. Needless to say.
Further, in the handle knob 5b of the present embodiment, since the root side end portion 22a and the tip end portion 22b are rotatably supported by the support shaft 20 via the bearings 28, the handle knob 5b has excellent rotation and smoothness. This makes it possible to realize a simple winding operation, and eliminates the influence of noise during the rotating operation, further improving the sensitivity of fish.

  In addition, the cross section in the plane orthogonal to the axial direction of the handle knob 5b (the knob main body 22) does not have to be a perfect circle shape, and may have an elliptical shape as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, a petal shape in which recesses 35 are provided at predetermined intervals on the outer periphery of a perfect circle may be formed.

FIG. 8 shows a first modification of the handle knob 5b. In this modification, a large number of fine stepped portions 47 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the enormous portion 22c, and the friction of the surface of the enormous portion 22c is increased to prevent finger slipping.
FIG. 9 shows a second modification of the handle knob 5b. In this modification, a plurality of elongate groove portions 46 extending in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the enormous portion 22c, and the friction of the surface of the enormous portion 22c is increased to prevent finger slipping. ing.
FIG. 10 shows a third modification of the handle knob 5b. In this modification, a stepped portion 48 is formed at the base end portion 22a, and the finger is positioned by abutting the tip of the finger holding the holding portion 22d against the stepped portion 48 (stable pinching of the finger). Can be done.
