Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to improvements in drag devices for double-bearing or single-bearing fishing reels.

Conventionally, in this type of fishing reel, a method of connecting a driving gear meshing with a pinion of a spool shaft to the spool shaft by frictional force via an adjustable braking member is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-16319 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-23584. This is already known in official publications, etc.

However, with this method, the pressure contact force of the braking member, which is the drag braking force, is transmitted to the handle shaft via the bearing, so the rotational resistance of the handle shaft is large when the drag braking force is tightened, making it easier to wind up the fishing line. There are flaws that are not done.

The present invention is an attempt to improve such defects, and the handle shaft and the drive gear meshing with the pinion of the spool shaft are coupled and connected by forward rotation of the handle shaft, and the coupling is released by reverse rotation of the pinion. In this fishing reel, a rotating member that is pressed by the drag braking member is fitted onto a fixed shaft fitted with a drag braking member, and the rotating member and a transmission gear meshed with a pinion are engaged only when the pinion is reversed. The gist is that they are connected by a one-way rotating clutch.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A cam plate having a handle 1 at the outer end and drive pins 5 at the tip of a handle shaft 4 rotatably supported by a side plate 2 via a bearing 3. 6 is integrally fixed to the cam plate 6, and a reversal prevention ratchet wheel 8 with a drive claw 7 pivoted on one side of the outer surface of the cam plate 6 is fitted, and the handle shaft 4 on the outside thereof has an uneven inner surface. Drive groove 9
A driving gear 12 that meshes with a pinion 11 that forms a spool shaft 10 and is slidably engaged with the spool shaft 10 is fitted, and furthermore, is engaged with the reversal prevention ratchet wheel 8 so as to be able to swing freely. A reverse rotation prevention pawl 13 is provided to prevent reverse rotation.

Therefore, when the handle shaft 4 is rotated normally (clockwise) in the fishing line winding direction, the drive pin 5 of the cam plate 6 engages the drive pawl 7 with the drive groove 9 to prevent the rotation of the handle shaft 4 from reversing. The power is transmitted to the drive gear 12 via the drive claw 7 of the ratchet wheel 8 .

The fixing plate 14 provided inside the side plate 2 is provided with a fixing shaft 15 whose outer end is formed into a threaded shaft portion 15' having an occluded circular cross section and protrudes outward. A rotating shaft cylinder 17 formed in the cylinder housing 16 is rotatably fitted, and a transmission gear 19 that meshes with the pinion 11 via a one-way rotary clutch 18 is fitted into the rotating shaft cylinder 17. When the pinion 11 rotates normally and the transmission gear 19 rotates clockwise, the rotating clutch 18 does not engage the rotating shaft cylinder 17 and does not rotate it, and the pinion 11 reverses and the transmission gear 19 rotates counterclockwise. It is formed so that it engages with the rotating shaft cylinder 17 and rotates it when doing so.

In the cylinder housing 16 of the rotary shaft cylinder 17, there is a brake plate 21 which is rotatable around the fixed shaft 15 and engages with the engagement groove 20 of the cylinder housing 16, and a screw shaft portion 15' of the fixed shaft 15.
A drag braking member 24 is provided, which includes a braking plate 22 that is engaged and fitted to the brake plate 22 and a seat plate 23 that is interposed between them, and brakes a drag handle 25 that is screwed onto the screw shaft 15' via a leaf spring 26. It is formed so that it can be pressed into contact with the member 24 so as to be able to move forward and backward. Note that 27 in the figure is a spool.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, when winding up a fishing line, when the handle shaft 4 is rotated normally (clockwise rotation) as shown in FIG. 2 with the handle 1, the drive pin 5 drives the drive claw 7. The drive gear 12 is engaged with the drive groove 9 of the gear 12 to rotate clockwise, and the pinion 11 meshed therewith is rotated counterclockwise to wind the fishing line onto the spool 27 via the spool shaft 10. The transmission gear 19 meshing with the transmission gear 19 rotates clockwise, but the one-way rotary clutch 18 does not engage the rotary shaft cylinder 17, so the rotary shaft cylinder 17 does not rotate and the drag braking device is separated.

Furthermore, when the spool 27 is reversed due to the pull of the fish and the pinion 11 rotates clockwise, the transmission gear 19 that meshes with the spool 27 is rotated counterclockwise. Since it rotates, it is braked by the drag braking member 24 inside the cylindrical housing 16. In this case, the drive gear 12 also rotates in reverse until the anti-reverse pawl 8 is locked by the anti-reverse pawl 13, but when the anti-reverse pawl 8 becomes unable to reverse, the drive pawl 7 is pushed out of the drive groove 9 and the handle shaft 4 The coupling between the drive gear 12 and the drive gear 12 is released, and the handle shaft 4 no longer rotates in reverse.

The present invention provides a drag braking member in which a drag braking member and a rotating member pressed against the drag braking member are mounted on a fixed shaft separate from the handle shaft, and the rotating member and a transmission gear meshing with a pinion of a spool shaft are connected by a one-way rotating clutch. Since it is designed to operate only when the spool is reversed, it is possible to completely prevent the spool from slipping when winding the fishing line, and at the same time, the winding action of the handle can be performed easily and immediately, and the pinion is also In the case of reverse rotation, the drag braking device is immediately engaged and the drag braking can be adjusted at will.

In addition, in the present invention, the drag brake device is provided on a fixed shaft, and the drag brake knob does not rotate even when the spool is rotated in the forward or reverse direction, so the drag adjustment operation during fishing is smooth and easy. Either star type method is suitable, and is therefore suitable for big game fishing, where the drag device is loosened recently and the fishing line is instantly reeled in by letting the fish run without cutting the fishing line.
