DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sound output device, and more particularly, to a device between a rotor arm of a spinning reel and a bail arm swingably mounted on a tip of the rotor arm in a line releasing position and a line winding position. The present invention relates to a sounding device for a spinning reel that is provided and sounds when the bail arm swings.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A bail arm is attached to the tip of a rotor arm of a spinning reel so as to swing freely between a line releasing position and a line winding position. The bail arm guides and winds the fishing line on the spool by the rotation of the rotor in the line winding direction. When the fishing line is paid out from the spool, the bail arm is swung to the line releasing position so that the fishing line is fed smoothly from the spool. Further, when the feeding of the fishing line is stopped, the fishing line is returned to the line winding posture.
The periphery of the pivot axis of the bail arm is formed relatively thick to maintain strength. A bail reversing device is provided inside the rotor arm for holding the bail arm in the line releasing position and the line winding position and returning the line to the line winding position. The bail reversing device returns the bail arm from the line releasing position to the line winding position in conjunction with the rotation of the rotor in the line winding direction. The rotor arm is formed to be relatively thin because a space for mounting a mechanism such as a bail reversing mechanism is formed therein. For example, the rotor arm is integrally formed with a cylindrical portion of the rotor by die casting.

In order to confirm that the bail arm has swung, a sound output device has conventionally been mounted between the rotor arm and the bail arm. A conventional sounding device includes a sounding pin mounted on a rotor arm so as to advance and retreat toward a bail arm, a coil spring for urging the sounding pin toward the bail arm, and a surface of the bail arm facing the rotor arm. And a sound output concave portion provided in the first position. The sound output pin is attached to a long and narrow hole formed in the rotor arm so as to be able to advance and retreat. When the bail arm is placed in the line releasing position and the line winding position, the sound output concave portion is disposed at a position close to the swing axis facing the sound output pin. In such a conventional sounding device, when the bail arm swings and is arranged in the line releasing position or the line winding position, the sounding pin advances toward the sounding concave portion and collides with the bail arm, and the bail arm collides. The arm vibrates and sounds.

[0004]

Since the portion of the bail arm facing the rotor arm is near the pivot axis,
It is relatively thick. Therefore, in the conventional configuration, when the sounding pin collides with the bail arm, the thick bail arm is less likely to vibrate, and it is difficult to obtain a crisp click sound. Unless a crisp click sound is obtained, it is difficult to confirm the swing of the bail arm. In addition, since the sound output pin is mounted on the rotor arm facing the bail arm, the thickness of the rotor arm in the swing axis direction is increased, which hinders reduction in size and weight of the rotor.

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide a sharp click sound when the bail arm swings, and to reduce the size and weight of the rotor.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a spinning reel sound emitting device comprising: a spinning reel rotor arm; and a bale mounted on a tip of the rotor arm so as to swing freely between a line releasing position and a line winding position. The bale arm is provided between the arm and the bail arm, and includes a sound output unit and a retreat unit. The sound output means
The bail arm is provided on a surface facing the rotor arm so as to be able to move forward and backward and urged in the advance direction, and is a means capable of colliding with the rotor arm at the time of advance. The retreating means is provided on the rotor arm, and when the bail arm swings between the yarn releasing posture and the yarn winding posture, the sounding means retreats between the two postures against the urging force. .

In this sounding device, when the bail arm swings between the yarn releasing position and the yarn winding position, the sounding device once retreats against the urging force and then advances again to collide with the rotor arm. To pronounce. Here, since the sounding means collides with the rotor arm which can be formed to be thin, the sound is generated, so that the sound is likely to vibrate and a crisp click sound is likely to be generated.
Further, since the sound output means is mounted not on the rotor arm but on a relatively thick bail arm, the thickness of the rotor arm in the swing axis direction can be reduced, and the whole rotor can be reduced in size and weight.

A sounding device for a spinning reel according to a second aspect of the present invention is the device according to the first aspect, wherein the sounding means is provided in a recess provided near the tip of the rotor arm near the center of swing of the bail arm. The sound output pin includes a sound output pin housed so as to be able to move forward and backward, and an urging member for urging the sound output pin in the advance direction. In this case, since the sounding pin and the urging member, which are members corresponding to the bell hammer, are separate members, it is easy to produce a crisp sound.

A sounding device for a spinning reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the device according to the second aspect, wherein the sounding pin has a hemispherical head and a shaft having a smaller diameter than the head. . In this case, since the head is hemispherical, the sound output pin smoothly retreats by the retreating means when swinging. A sounding device for a spinning reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the device according to the third aspect, wherein the biasing member is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the shaft portion, and has a distal end in contact with the head and a proximal end in contact with the bottom of the recess. It is a spring. In this case, since the sounding pin is urged by the coil spring, the sounding pin can be urged with a stable force.

A sounding device for a spinning reel according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the device according to the first aspect, wherein the sounding means urges the contact portion colliding with the rotor arm and the contact portion toward the rotor arm. And a spring member mounted on the bail arm. In this case, since the sounding means is constituted by one spring member, the structure of the sounding means is simplified.

A sound adding device for a spinning reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein
The retreating means has two sounding recesses provided at the tip of the rotor arm at positions facing the sounding means when the bail arm swings between the line releasing position and the line winding position.
In this case, since the sound output means advances into the sound output recess when the sound output means is disposed in the sound output recess, the sound is emitted when the sound output means swings to the line releasing position or the line winding position. Therefore, it is possible to reliably recognize the completion of the swing. Moreover, the bail arm can be held in both postures by the advancement of the sounding means into the sounding recess.

[0012] A sounding device for a spinning reel according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein
When the bail arm swings between the line releasing position and the line winding position, the retreating means is provided with a sound output provided at the tip of the rotor arm so as to protrude toward the sound outputting means between the two positions. It has a convex part. In this case, a sound is generated when the sound output means enters and exits between the two positions by the sound output protrusion, so that the configuration of the retreat means is simplified.

Bail arm 1 for guiding fishing line to spool 4 by 7
7 is configured. The bail arm 17 is swingable between a yarn winding posture shown in FIG. 3A and a yarn releasing posture inverted from the yarn winding posture shown in FIG. 3B.

[Structure of the bail reversing mechanism] The bale reversing mechanism 18 is disposed in the storage space 48. The bail reversing mechanism 18 returns the bail arm 17 from the line releasing position to the line winding position in conjunction with the rotation of the rotor 3,
Hold that state in both positions. The bail reversing mechanism 18
As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, a toggle spring mechanism 50 swingably mounted on the first arm 31b and the first cover member 31c in the storage space 48, and a first connection part 31a.
And a switching projection 53 formed in the annular groove 2d at the front of the reel body 2a.

The toggle spring mechanism 50 includes the bail arm 17.
Are arranged in the first rotor arm 31 so as to be able to take a first position where the yarn winding position is set and a second position where the yarn releasing position is set, and hold the bail arm 17 in the line winding position and the line releasing position. Mechanism. The toggle spring mechanism 50 has a rod 55 having one end locked to the first bail support member 40, the other end extending along the first arm 31 b, the rod 55 being mounted to be able to move forward and backward, and the first arm 31 b A guide member 56 having an intermediate portion swingably mounted on the guide member 56, a coil spring 57 for urging the rod 55 toward the advancing side, and a guide member 56 capable of locking the rod 55 at least in the swing direction during the swing. And a locking member 58 immovably mounted.

As shown in FIG. 5, the distal end 55a of the rod 55 is bent outward and locked in an engaging hole 40a formed in the first bail support member 40. A projection 55b for locking the spring is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rod 55.
Are formed. The guide member 56 is a bottomed rectangular cylindrical member having an open front end, and has swinging shafts 56a and 56b projecting outward at both ends thereof which engage with the mounting holes 36a and 36b at an intermediate portion in the axial direction. ing. The swing shafts 56a and 56b are arranged along the radial direction of the rotor 3, and the guide members 5
Reference numeral 6 is attached to the first rotor arm 31 so as to be swingable about the swing shafts 56a and 56b. Guide member 56
At the rear end (right end in FIG. 5), a locking projection 56c with which the return lever 51 is engaged is formed to protrude rearward.

The locking member 58 is a plate-like member which is immovably fixed to the outer side surface (the upper surface in FIG. 5) of the guide member 56. The front end of the locking member extends forward from the front end of the guide member 56. A locking groove 59 is formed at the extended end. The locking groove 59 is a groove for locking the bent distal end portion 55a of the rod 55 in the swinging direction of the guide member 56, and is formed along the direction in which the rod 55 advances and retreats. The length of the locking groove 59 is such that the rod 55 can be locked near the dead center position of the toggle spring mechanism 50, and is determined in consideration of interference with the boss 38 and the like. In particular,
The length from the dead center position of the rod 55 to the maximum movement position when the bail arm 17 swings is 10% to 50% of the length from the dead center position. In particular, when the dead center position is deviated to the yarn releasing position to facilitate return of the bail arm 17, the rod 55 is locked by the locking member 58 when in the first position on the yarn releasing position. The length is preferably such that

Here, the dead center position means the swing center of the first bail support member 40, the swing center of the toggle spring mechanism 50 (the swing center of the guide member 56), the rod 55 and the first bail support member. The position where the locking position with the member 40 is aligned on a straight line. At this time, the rod 55 retreats most into the guide member 56, and the coil spring 57 contracts most. At the rear end of the locking member 58, a pair of mounting pieces 58a and 58b extending along both side surfaces of the guide member 56 are formed. A fitting hole 58c fitted in the swing shaft 56b at the intermediate portion
Are formed. The locking member 58 is immovably fixed to the guide member 56 by the mounting pieces 58a and 58b and the fitting hole 58c.

The toggle spring mechanism 50 having the above-described structure is
It is possible to take a first position as shown in FIG. 3A and a second position as shown in FIG. 3B. The first position corresponds to the yarn winding posture of the bail arm 17, and the second position corresponds to the yarn releasing posture of the bail arm 17. Further, the dead center position of the first toggle spring mechanism 50 is at a position of 7.5: 2.5, which is closer to the line winding posture than the conventional position with respect to the swing range from the first position to the second position. In the present embodiment in which the dead center position is arranged at such a position, the rod 55 is locked by the locking member 58 when in the line releasing posture. This dead center position is preferably in the range from 7: 3 to 9: 1. If this range exceeds 9: 1, the first coil spring 57 of the toggle spring mechanism 50 will be extended in the line winding posture, and the force for holding the bail arm 17 will be weak. When the ratio is less than 7: 3, when the bail arm 17 is returned from the line releasing position to the line winding position by the rotation of the rotor 3, it is difficult for the bail arm 17 to instantaneously return to the line winding position.

As shown in FIG. 6, the return lever 51 is attached to a boss 35a formed on the rear surface of the first connection portion 31a so as to be swingable in a plane parallel to the rotor rotation plane. The return lever 51 is provided with a locking notch 51 a for locking the locking projection 56 c of the guide member 56 of the toggle spring mechanism 50.
have. A braking member 65 made of a ring-shaped elastic member having a rectangular cross section is mounted in the annular groove 2d so as to be able to contact the protrusion 51c of the return lever 51. Braking member 65
Is provided for braking the rotation of the rotor 3 when the bail arm 17 is in the line releasing position. Projection 51
The distal end of c is formed in an arc shape with a radius R about the swing center of the return lever 51. Thus, the protrusion 5
When the rotor 3 is rotated at the time of braking, even if the return lever 51 swings slightly due to rattling, the protrusion 51c always moves by the same amount with respect to the braking member 65 by forming the arc 1c in an arc shape. The contact state is unlikely to change because it bites from the outer peripheral side. For this reason, even if the rotor 3 is turned by hand, the braking force does not easily fluctuate, and a stable braking force can be obtained.

In such a configuration of the return lever 51, the return lever 51 can take a first position shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 6 and a second position shown by a solid line. The first position corresponds to the first position of the toggle spring mechanism 50 and the yarn winding posture of the bail arm 17, and the second position corresponds to the second position of the toggle spring mechanism 50 and the yarn releasing posture of the bail arm 17. As shown in FIG. 6, the switching protrusion 53 is mounted on the wall of the annular groove 2d of the reel body 2a on the outer peripheral side of the braking member 65, so that the braking member 65 can be arranged in a substantially annular shape. Switching projection 53 mounted in annular groove 2d of reel body 2a
Project to the outer peripheral side. When the return lever 51 rotates together with the rotor 3, the switching protrusion 53 can come into contact with the protrusion 51 c of the return lever 51.

As shown in FIG. 2, inside the cylindrical portion 30 of the rotor 3, a reverse rotation preventing mechanism 70 for inhibiting and canceling the reverse rotation of the rotor 3 is arranged. The reverse rotation prevention mechanism 70 has a roller type one-way clutch, and the reverse rotation of the rotor 3 is inhibited / released by switching the one-way clutch between an active state and a non-active state. Spool 4
Is disposed between the first rotor arm 31 and the second rotor arm 32 of the rotor 3, and is attached to the tip of the spool shaft 15 via a drag mechanism 71. Spool 4
A bobbin trunk 4a around which the fishing line is wound around the outer periphery, a skirt portion 4b integrally formed at the rear of the bobbin trunk 4a,
Flange part 4 integrally formed on the front end of bobbin trunk 4a
c.

[Reel Operation and Operation] At the time of casting, the reverse rotation preventing mechanism 70 causes the rotor 3 to be in the reverse rotation prohibited state, and the bail arm 17 is reversed to the line releasing posture. When the bail arm 17 is inverted to the line releasing posture, the first bail support member 40 and the second bail support member 42 fall rearward, and are disposed at the second position as shown in FIG.
When the bail arm 17 is in the line releasing position, the fishing line from the spool 4 can be easily drawn out.

In the swing from the line winding position to the line releasing position, in the toggle spring mechanism 50, the rod 55 gradually retracts in FIG. To reach the second position shown in FIG. At this time, it retreats until it exceeds the dead center and advances when it exceeds the dead center. And in the retirement process,
Until the rod 55 is locked to the locking member 58, the force is indirectly transmitted from the rod 55 to the guide member 56 via the coil spring 57, and the guide member 56 is pressed and the swing center is It swings counterclockwise around A. When the rod 55 is locked by the locking member 58 near the dead center, a force is directly transmitted from the rod 55 to the guide member 56 via the locking member 58. When the dead center is exceeded, the rod 55 advances by the urging force of the coil spring 57 to switch the bail arm 17 to the line releasing position and hold it in that position.

In this case, the locking member 58 is the guide member 5
6, the rod 55 is locked in the swinging direction.
When the guide 5 presses the guide member 56, the force is efficiently transmitted from the rod 55 to the guide member 56. Therefore, the feeling of rigidity at the time of swinging is improved, and the swing feeling is improved. In the swing from the yarn winding position to the yarn releasing position,
In the sound output device 20, the sound output pin 23 engaged with the sound output recess 22 a exits and retreats from the sound output recess 22 a by the swing of the bail arm 17. Then, when the bail arm 17 swings to the line releasing posture, the sound output pin 23 fits into the sound output recess 22b and advances, and the first arm 31
Collides with b. As a result, when the bail arm 17 swings to the line releasing position, a crisp click sound is generated.

When the guide member 56 swings to the second position,
With this swing, the return lever 51 swings clockwise in FIG. 6 to the second position indicated by the solid line. The return lever 51 is held by the toggle spring mechanism 50 in this state. When the return lever 51 swings to the second position, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the protrusion 51 c of the return lever 51 projects toward the rotor rotation axis and the braking member 65.
Elastically contact As a result, the rotor 3 is braked to maintain its rotational phase. However, since the rotor 3 is only elastically contacted and is braked by friction, the rotation phase can be easily adjusted by rotating the rotor 3 by hand or by rotating the handle 1. That is, since the rotor 3 is braked by the frictional force and the rotation phase is maintained, the rotor 3 does not rotate when the bail arm 17 is in the line releasing posture. Therefore, problems caused by unexpected rotation of the rotor 3 during casting or summing can be solved. In addition, since the rotor 3 is only braked by friction, if a force is applied to the rotor 3, the rotor 3 can be easily turned to adjust the rotation phase.

In this state, the fishing rod is cast while hooking the fishing line with the index finger of the hand holding the fishing rod. Then, the fishing line is released vigorously by the weight of the device.
After the casting, when the handle 1 is rotated in the yarn winding direction with, for example, the left hand while the bail arm 17 is maintained in the yarn releasing position, the rotor 3 is rotated by the rotor drive mechanism 5 in the yarn winding direction. When the rotor 3 rotates in the line winding direction, the bail arm 17 is returned to the line winding position by the bail reversing mechanism 18.

More specifically, in FIG.
1 rotates counterclockwise with the rotor 3. Then
The protrusion 51c of the return lever 51 collides with the switching protrusion 53 fixed to the reel body 2 side. As a result, the return lever 51 is kicked up and switched to the first position indicated by the two-dot chain line. Accordingly, the guide member 56 of the toggle spring mechanism 50 swings from the second position shown in FIG. 3B to the first position shown in FIG. During this swing, since the rod 55 is locked by the locking member 58, the guide member 5
The force is efficiently transmitted from 6 to the rod 55. And
When the dead center is exceeded, the rod 5
5, the bail arm 17 is switched to the line winding position and held in that position.

At this time, at the second position of the toggle spring mechanism 50, the rod 55 is located slightly closer to the thread release position than the dead center. Move to Further, since the return lever 51 rotates within the rotor rotation plane, the rotational force of the rotor 3 is efficiently transmitted to the return lever 51 as it is. Therefore, it is possible to switch the bail from the line releasing position to the line winding position with a small force when operating the handle. Moreover, since the rod 55 is locked by the locking member 58 at the time of starting the swinging from the thread releasing position, the force is efficiently transmitted,
The play in the toggle spring mechanism 50 is reduced, and the bail reversing operation becomes a rigid operation with a sense of rigidity.

When the bail arm 17 returns to the line winding posture, the first bail support member 40 and the second bale support member 4
2 stand up front, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In this state, in the toggle spring mechanism 50,
The guide member 56 is, as shown in FIG.
7, the rod 55 is swung clockwise, and the rod 55 is in the advanced state. At this time, the force is efficiently applied to the guide member 5.
6 is transmitted to the rod 55, so that the bail arm 17 can be instantaneously returned to the line winding posture even if the dead center position is deviated to the line winding posture side as compared with the related art. Therefore, the biasing force of the toggle spring mechanism 50 in the line winding position can be increased, and the force for holding the bail arm 17 in the line winding position can be maintained high.

In this yarn winding position, the return lever 5
1 is located at a first position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 6, and this state is held by the toggle spring mechanism 50.
In this state, the protruding portion 51c of the return lever 51 is retracted to the outer peripheral side of the rotor, and the protruding portion 51c does not contact the switching protrusion 53 even when the rotor 3 rotates. When the bail arm 17 returns to the line winding posture, the fishing line is guided to the spool 4 by the bail arm 17 and wound around the spool 4.

When returning to the yarn winding position, in the sound output device 20, after the sound output pin 23 comes out of the sound output recess 22b and retreats, the sound output pin 23 fits into the sound output recess 22b and advances, and the first arm It collides with the part 31b. As a result, when the bail arm 17 returns to the line winding posture in conjunction with the rotation of the rotor 3 in the line winding direction, a crisp click sound is generated,
The angler can surely recognize that.

Here, since the relatively thin-walled first rotor arm 31 is sounded by the sound output device 20, a crisp click sound can be generated. Further, since it is not necessary to attach the sound output section 21 to the first rotor arm 31, the thickness of the first rotor arm 31 in the rotor radial direction can be reduced. In addition, since the sound output pin 23 is engaged with one of the two sound output recesses 22a, 22b, the sound output device 2
0 allows the bail arm 17 to be held in two positions.

In the conventional structure, it is necessary to provide the rotor arm with an elongated hole corresponding to the concave portion 40b for accommodating the sound output pin 23. However, in die casting,
Since such an elongated hole cannot be formed by a mold, a separate punching process is required. In addition, for example, when electrodeposition coating is performed on the surface of a rotor made of a magnesium alloy, the holes are clogged with paint, so that rework is required. Since such perforation and reworking must be performed, the conventional structure is costly. However, in this embodiment, since the concave portion 40b is provided on the side of the first bail support member 40 made of synthetic resin, the concave portion 40b can be formed together during molding such as injection molding. Therefore, extra processing is not required, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, the sound output device 20 is mounted between the first rotor arm 31 and the first bail support member 40. Two-veil support member 42
And may be provided between them. (B) In the above-described embodiment, the bail reversing mechanism that can hold the bail arm 17 in the yarn releasing posture and the yarn winding posture and that can return to the yarn winding posture by rotating the rotor in the yarn winding direction is used. However, as in the above embodiment, the sound output device 20
When the bail arm 17 can be held in both postures by the above, only the function capable of returning the bail arm 17 to the yarn winding posture in conjunction with the rotation of the rotor 3 in the yarn winding direction without holding the bail arm 17 in both postures is provided. A bale reversing mechanism may be used.

(C) In the above embodiment, the retreating portion 22 is constituted by the two sounding recesses 22a and 22b. However, the sounding pin 23 is retracted between the two positions instead of the sounding recesses 22a and 22b. For this purpose, the first arm portion 31b may be provided with a sound projection. (D) In the above-described embodiment, the sound output portion 21 is constituted by the sound output pin 23 and the coil spring 24. However, the sound output portion 21 may be constituted by an elastic spring member. In this case, a spring member is attached to one of the bail support members so as to be able to advance and retreat, and a contact part that contacts a retreat part of a part of the spring member and an urging part that urges the contact part toward the rotor arm. May be provided.

[0050]

According to the present invention, since the sounding means collides with the rotor arm which can be formed to be thin, the sound is generated, so that it is easy to vibrate and a crisp click sound is easily generated. Further, since the sound output means is mounted not on the rotor arm but on a relatively thick bail arm, the thickness of the rotor arm in the swing axis direction can be reduced, and the whole rotor can be reduced in size and weight.
