Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides a double-bearing reel, more specifically, a spool that can freely rotate between the side plates of a reel body that includes a pair of first and second side plates. Along with supporting
The present invention relates to a double-bearing reel which supports a clutch lever so that it can freely slide, and which allows the clutch to be disengaged and the spool to rotate freely by operating the lever.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, the clutch lever is supported on the outside of the second side plate of the reel body so as to be able to freely slide in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the spool, and has an operating section provided at its tip. The clutch is protruded outward from the reel body, and is disengaged by pressing the operating portion to disengage a clutch built in the reel body, and by rotating the handle, the clutch is engaged.

By the way, when the clutch is disengaged by pressing the operation part, the spool rotates freely, so when casting with the fishing line reeled in and the fishing tackle positioned near the tip of the fishing rod, the operation described above is not necessary. After the clutch is disengaged by a rocking operation of the body, a finger is pressed against the outer surface of the spool, that is, the outer layer of the fishing line wound on the spool to stop the free rotation of the spool.

This is because if the free rotation of the spool is not stopped, the spool will rotate freely due to the weight of the fishing tackle, and the fishing tackle, which has been purposely positioned near the tip of the fishing tackle, will fall to the ground in order to cast. be.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventionally provided double-bearing reels, the position of the operating part is far from the spool, and the finger pressing the operating part can move the spool free. When stopping the rotation, there is a time lag between the push operation of the operating section and the start of the operation to stop the free rotation, which causes the fishing tackle to be misaligned, resulting in a problem in which good casting cannot be performed. .

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the object thereof is to provide a double-bearing reel that can stop the free rotation of the spool almost simultaneously with the operation of the operating section of the operating body. .

(Means for Solving the Problems) Accordingly, the present invention supports a spool in a freely rotatable manner between the side plates of a reel body having a pair of first and second side plates, and also supports a clutch lever in a sliding manner. A double-bearing reel that is freely supported and allows the spool to freely rotate by disengaging the clutch by operating the lever, the reel having an operating part on the outside of the second side plate of the reel body for pushing and operating the clutch lever. The operating body is pivotally supported so that the operating part reciprocates in the sliding direction of the clutch lever, and the operating part of the operating body is positioned closer to the spool than the inner surface of the second side plate, and closer to the spool than the inner surface of the second side plate. Protruding to a position facing the second side plate side flange,
The outer edge of the second side plate facing the operating portion is located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange.

(Function) By placing a finger on the operating part of the operating body and pressing it, the clutch lever moves to the forward movement end position, and the operating piece is moved to the outer peripheral surface of the flange on the spool or to the fishing line wound onto the spool. The operating portion can be placed close enough to touch the outer layer of the flange, and the operating portion is inclined toward the outer circumferential surface of the flange, making it easy for the finger for pushing the operating portion to slip from the operating portion. When stopping the free rotation of the spool when the clutch is released,
The spool is brought into immediate contact with the outer peripheral surface of the flange or the outer layer of the fishing line in succession to the pushing operation of the operating section, and the free rotation of the spool is quickly stopped almost simultaneously with the clutch disengagement due to the pushing operation of the operating section, that is, without any time difference. It is possible. Further, since the operating portion is configured to protrude at a position opposite to the second side plate side flange of the spool, when the clutch is engaged, the thumb of the hand gripping the fishing rod is placed on the outer layer of the fishing line wound around the spool. When thumbing by pressing the clutch, the clutch can be easily thumbed without being hindered by the operating body, and when thumbing, the clutch may be accidentally pressed and the clutch disengaged. There is no such thing.

a It may be placed close to the outer periphery.

Note that reference numerals 50c and 50c in the figure are regulating surfaces that regulate the swing range of the operating body 50.

The reel configured as described above is attached to a fishing rod via the mounting leg 60 provided between the first and second side frames 1 and 2, and when the fishing rod is held and casted, the reel is first attached to the fishing rod. After rotating the handle 32 to wind up and position the fishing tackle to be attached to the tip of the fishing line close to the tip of the fishing rod, extend the thumb F of the hand that grips the fishing rod and press the operating portion 50a of the operating body 50. The operation is performed by disengaging the clutch 8, stopping the free rotation of the spool 4, and then transferring the fishing rod and throwing the fishing tackle. When detaching, the operating body 50 first swings about the support position to the second side frame 2 as shown by the chain line in FIG.
is inclined toward the outer peripheral part of the flange of the spool 4 and is located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange 4a, and is located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange 4a.
The tip of the fishing line comes into contact with or comes close to contacting the outer peripheral surface L of the fishing line wound around the spool 4, and the thumb F naturally slides from the operating part 50a to the downward side in the inclined direction. Since the fingertip of the thumb F that pushed the operating portion 50a is easily pushed to the side, the operating portion 5
Immediately after letting it naturally separate from 0a, the fishing line outer layer L
As a result, the thumb is immediately brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the flange or the outer layer of the fishing line following the pressing operation of the operating part 50a, and the free rotation of the spool is controlled by the operating part 50a.
This means that the clutch can be stopped almost at the same time as the clutch is disengaged by pressing the button, that is, it can be stopped quickly without any time lag.

Therefore, since the free rotation of the spool 4 is immediately stopped, the position of the fishing tackle can be maintained at the optimum position for casting, and casting can always be carried out well.

Note that in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the operating body 5
0 is pivotally supported on the second side frame 2 via the pivot shaft 52, but it may be supported without using the pivot shaft 52, or the operating body 50 may be supported, for example, without using the pivot shaft 52. It may be formed integrally with the cover 23 via a thin hinge.

Although it is preferable that the intermediate portion of the operating body 50 is latched to the clutch lever 9 as shown in the figure, the intermediate portion of the operating body 50 may be simply brought into contact with the clutch lever 9 without being latched, and this contact state may be maintained by moving the operating body 50 in one direction. It may also be maintained by a spring that acts on the
In short, it is sufficient that the clutch lever 9 can be operated by operating the operating body 50.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the operating body 5
0 is supported on the second side frame 2, but it may also be supported on the first side frame 1 or the connecting rod 3 that connects the first and second side frames 1 and 2.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, the present invention supports a spool in a freely rotatable manner between the side plates of a reel body having a pair of first and second side plates, and also supports a clutch lever in a freely sliding manner. , a double-bearing reel in which the clutch can be disengaged by operating the lever and the spool can freely rotate; an operating body having an operating part for pushing and operating the clutch lever provided on the outside of the second side plate of the reel body; The operating portion is pivoted so as to reciprocate in the sliding direction of the clutch lever, and the operating portion of the operating body is located closer to the spool than the inner surface of the second side plate and closer to the second side of the spool.
Since the outer edge of the second side plate, which protrudes to a position facing the side plate side flange and faces the operation portion, is located near the outer peripheral surface of the flange, when the operation portion of the operation body is pressed, the operation is performed. The operating part of the body is close enough to contact the outer circumferential surface of the flange of the spool or the outer layer of the fishing line wound on the spool, and the operating part is tilted toward the outer circumferential surface of the flange so that the pushing finger If you want to stop the free rotation of the spool when the clutch is disengaged by using your finger to push the operating part, you should press the outer circumferential surface of the flange or the fishing line continuously after pushing the operating part. The free rotation of the spool can be immediately stopped almost at the same time as the clutch is released by the pushing operation, that is, without any time lag.

Therefore, when casting, the position of the fishing tackle can be maintained at the optimum position for casting, and casting can always be carried out well.

Moreover, since the operating piece of the operating body pivoted outwardly of the second side plate is configured to protrude to a position facing the second side plate side flange of the spool, the finger that pushes the operating body can While being able to quickly stop the free rotation of the spool, when the clutch is engaged and the thumb of the hand gripping the fishing rod is pressed against the outer layer of the fishing line wound around the spool and thumbed, the operating part of the operating body is pressed. This allows for easy summation without any interference.
In other words, since the clutch operation position is separated from the summing operation position, when summing as described above, that is, when summing with the clutch engaged, it is possible to accidentally push the operation part and disengage the clutch. There's nothing you can do about it. Therefore, it is possible to reliably catch a fish caught on a hook by thumbing it up, but in case the clutch disengages by mistake, the spool rotates freely and the fishing line wound around the spool becomes free due to the tension of the fish. You won't be able to get away with catching the fish you've worked so hard to catch.
