Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fishing line guide mechanism, and more particularly to a spinning reel fishing line guide mechanism that is mounted on the tips of first and second rotor arms so as to be swingable between a line guiding position and a line releasing position and guides a fishing line to a spool.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The spinning reel is provided with a fishing line guide mechanism for guiding the fishing line to the spool. The fishing line guide mechanism is attached to the tips of the first and second rotor arms, rotates together with the rotor, and is swingable between a line releasing position and a line guiding position. The fishing line guide mechanism includes first and second bail support members, a fixed shaft having one end fixed to the tip of the first bail support member, a fixed shaft cover fixed to the other end of the fixed shaft, and a fixed shaft cover. And a line roller supported by a fixed shaft. One end of the bail is inserted and fixed to the end of the fixed shaft cover. The other end of the bail is attached to the tip of the second bail support member.
[0003]
In the spinning reel having such a fishing line guide mechanism, when the fishing line is wound around the spool, the bale is swung to the line guiding posture side and the handle is rotated. Then, the fishing line is guided to the bail and is guided and brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the line roller through the fixed shaft cover. Then, the fishing line is guided by the line roller, changed in direction, and wound around the outer periphery of the spool.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional fishing line guide mechanism, since one end of the bail is inserted into the end of the fixed shaft cover, a step that increases from the bail toward the fixed shaft cover is generated. For this reason, when the fishing line is wound up, the fishing line may be caught by a step when the fishing line moves from the bail toward the fixed shaft cover. When the fishing line is caught on the step, the fishing line is hindered from being smoothly guided, and the fishing line is easily wound around the fixed shaft cover and the bail, so that the line is likely to be entangled.
[0005]
An object of the present invention is to make it difficult to cause entanglement in a fishing line guide mechanism of a spinning reel.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A spinning reel fishing line guide mechanism according to a first aspect of the present invention is a spinning reel fishing line guide mechanism that is swingably attached to the tips of first and second rotor arms in a line guiding position and a line releasing position, and guides a fishing line to a spool. The first and second bail support members swingably attached to the tips of the first and second rotor arms, a fixed shaft having one end fixed to the first bail support member, and a fixed shaft A fixed shaft cover provided at the other end with a gap from the first bail support member and having a hole portion with at least a tip portion formed in a cylindrical shape and an opening on the tip surface, and a peripheral surface supported rotatably on the fixed shaft. A line roller formed with a guide portion for guiding the fishing line, a rod-like rod-like portion that is curvedly curved outward in the circumferential direction of the spool and is fixed to the second bail support member, and on the other end side of the rod-like portion Fixed shaft provided A first bulging portion that contacts the end of the bar; and a mounting portion that is provided at the tip of the first bulging portion so as to have a smaller diameter than the first bulging portion and is inserted into the hole of the fixed shaft cover. And a bale for guiding the fishing line to the line roller through the fixed shaft cover. The outer diameter of the first bulging portion of the bale is larger than the outer diameter of the tip portion of the fixed shaft cover.
[0007]
In this fishing line guide mechanism, since the outer diameter of the first bulging portion of the bail is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the tip end portion of the fixed shaft cover, a step that becomes lower from the bail toward the fixed shaft cover is generated. Is done. Here, a step that decreases from the bail toward the fixed shaft cover is generated, so when the fishing line is wound up, when the fishing line moves from the bail toward the fixed shaft cover, the fishing line is not easily caught by the step. Become. Therefore, the fishing line can be smoothly guided from the bail to the fixed shaft cover, and it is possible to make it difficult for the line to be entangled. Moreover, since the 1st bulging part is formed in the junction part of a bail and a fixed shaft cover, the intensity | strength of this junction part can be maintained highly.
[0008]
A fishing line guide mechanism according to a second aspect of the present invention is the fishing line guide mechanism according to the first aspect, wherein the first bulging portion is provided at the tip of the rod-shaped portion so as to gradually increase in diameter toward the mounting portion. In this case, since the first bulging portion is formed at the tip of the bar-like portion so that the diameter gradually increases toward the mounting portion, the bale that is larger than the outer diameter of the end portion of the fixed shaft cover can be easily formed. Can be formed.
[0009]
A fishing line guide mechanism according to a third aspect is the fishing line guide mechanism according to the first or second aspect, wherein the contact surface between the first bulging portion and the end portion of the fixed shaft cover is a smooth curved surface. In this case, even if the first bulging portion and the fixed shaft cover are not formed with high accuracy, these contact surfaces are formed into a smooth curved surface so that the space between the first bulging portion and the fixed shaft cover can be reduced. It becomes difficult to generate a gap.
[0010]
A fishing line guide mechanism according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the fishing line guide mechanism according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the bale is provided at a contact portion of the second bail support member and is formed to have a larger diameter than the rod-shaped portion. It further has a protruding part. In this case, the strength of the joint portion between the second bail support member and the second bulge portion can be maintained high.
[0011]
A fishing line guide mechanism according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the fishing line guide mechanism according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the rod-shaped portion is a solid cylindrical member. In this case, the strength of the bale can be maintained high by forming the inside of the rod-shaped part solid.
[0012]
A fishing line guide mechanism according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the fishing line guide mechanism according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the rod-like portion is a cylindrical hollow member. In this case, it is possible to reduce the weight of the bale by hollowing out the inside of the rod-like portion and forming it into a pipe shape.
