In the above prior art, in order to make effective use of the space in the reel body, the main focus is on the arrangement of the constituent members. It is necessary to consider various performances other than miniaturization, such as a thread winding capacity and a winding performance.

More specifically, for example, if the distance between the spool and the level wind mechanism is too short, the angle of contact with the fishing line guide portion when releasing the fishing line becomes too large, and the contact resistance reduces the flight distance of the tackle or the fishing line. In some cases, resulting in a shorter life. In addition, in consideration of the amount of the fishing line fed after a fish hits, a spool form having a certain amount of thread winding capacity is desired. However, in the above-described conventional technique, an ideal spool form and its arrangement location are considered in relation to the reel side plate. Is not considered at all.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a dual-bearing type reel in which the side plate of the reel body is formed in a circular shape and which can maintain stable fishing line release and winding performance. It is another object of the present invention to provide a dual-bearing type reel having such a configuration, which can prevent an increase in the outer shape of the reel body.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the internal structure of a dual-bearing type reel, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. First, the overall structure of the reel will be described.

The reel body 1 includes a frame 2 having a reel mounting leg 1a, and left and right outer plates 3a and 3b mounted on the frame 2. In the frame 2, left and right frames 2a and 2b and a plurality of columns provided between the left and right frames 2a and 2b are integrally formed by molding using a metal or resin material. A certain space is formed between the frame 2 and each outer plate, and various mechanisms such as a driving force transmission system and a drag system are accommodated in this space. The left and right outer plates 3a, 3b
It has a circular shape, and is mounted on the frame 2 by, for example, screws, screwing, fitting, or the like. In the case of mounting with screws, ring-shaped members 3c and 3d may be mounted on the outer periphery of the side plate so as to hide the screws.

[0011] Between the left and right side plates 3a, 3b (left and right frame 2
(a, 2b), the spool shaft 5 is rotatably supported via a bearing 6. The spool shaft 5 is provided with a spool 7 at the center thereof and a backlash prevention mechanism 8 on the left outer plate side for preventing excessive rotation of the spool and preventing backlash when the fishing line is released. The spool 7 is a portion around which the fishing line is wound, and the fishing line is wound from the winding body 7a to the outer portions 7b formed at both ends.

On the right side of the spool shaft 5, a pinion 10 which slides in the axial direction to engage / disengage with the spool shaft.
Are rotatably supported by a pinion shaft 10a, and the pinion 10 has a circumferential groove with which a clutch plate 12 is engaged. The clutch plate 12 can be moved along the pinion shaft by a coupling mechanism (not shown), and is driven by operating a clutch switching member 15 supported between the left and right plates behind the spool 7. Specifically, by depressing the clutch switching member 15, the pinion 10 is moved rightward from the position shown in FIG. 1 via the clutch plate 12, and disengaged from the spool shaft 5 (clutch off). ), The spool 7 can be freely rotated.

On the other hand, a handle shaft 20 supporting a drive gear 18 meshing with the pinion 10 is rotatably supported on the right outer plate. The handle shaft 20 has a handle 21 at a distal end thereof, a one-way clutch 23 at an intermediate portion allowing rotation of the handle shaft 20 in only one direction, and a friction plate 25 ( Drag mechanisms) are provided. The friction plate 25 is attached to the handle 2
By rotating the drag operation member 27 attached to 1, it is pressed in the axial direction and frictionally engages with the drive gear 18 to give a drag action. Also, on the handle shaft 20,
A gear 28 is provided which rotates integrally with the drive gear 18 and meshes with a drive gear 33 which drives a worm shaft 32 of a level wind mechanism 30 disposed in front of the spool.

The worm shaft 32 of the level wind mechanism 30 is engaged with a fishing line guide member 35 having a hole 35a through which the fishing line passes. The worm shaft 32 is driven to rotate via a driving gear 33. Reciprocates between the left and right outer plates. That is, by rotating the handle 21, the spool 7 is rotated via the drive gear 18, the pinion 10, etc., and the fishing line guide member 35
Is reciprocated right and left via the gear 28, the driving gear 33 and the like, so that the fishing line is wound around the spool 7 evenly.

Next, the relationship between the outer plate and the spool of the dual-bearing type reel configured as described above will be described.
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the outer dimensions of the circular outer plate are (A), the diameter of the winding body 7a of the spool 7 is (d), and the outer dimensions of the outer part 7b of the spool 7 are (d). The dimensions are (B).

With respect to the outer center C of the outer plate, the spool 7
So that the shaft center S of the
The spool 7 is arranged. By displacing the shaft center S of the spool 7 rearward in this manner, the level wind mechanism 3
It is possible to increase the distance between 0 and the spool 7. Therefore, the frictional resistance when the fishing line released from the spool 7 comes into contact with the hole 35a of the fishing line guide member 35 can be reduced, the flight distance of the tackle is improved, the damage to the fishing line is reduced, and the life of the fishing line is reduced. improves. In this case, the displacement amount X of the spool shaft 7 with respect to the outer center of the shaft core S is 1 to 10 m so that the frictional resistance to the fishing line can be reduced and the practical miniaturization of the reel body can be achieved.
m, more preferably 3 to 8 mm.

A level wind mechanism 30 disposed forward of the spool shaft 5 and a clutch switching member 1 disposed rearward
The preferred arrangement of 5 is the distance between the axis of the spool shaft 5 and the axis of the worm shaft 32 (or the mounting base of the fishing line guide member 35), and the distance between the clutch switching member 15 and the spool side tip 15a. In order to improve the release property while maintaining the balance of the reel body,
It is appropriate to set in the range of 4: 3 to 5: 3.

As described above, in addition to displacing the position of the spool to the rear side, it is preferable to further configure as follows. The axis S of the spool 7 is displaced upward with respect to the outer center C of the outer plate, the outer dimension (A) of the outer plate is 50 to 70 mm, and the outer dimension 7b of the spool 7 is 30 to 30 (B). It is set to 50 mm, and the ratio of (B / A) is set in the range of 60 to 75%, preferably 62 to 70%. In this way, the axis of the spool 7 is displaced above the outer center C of the outer plate, and the outer dimensions of the outer plate are

Thus, it is possible to reduce the size of the reel body as much as possible while sufficiently maintaining the functions (fish line releasing property, fishing line winding property, grip holding property), and it is possible to further improve the fishing operability. in this case,
The upward displacement Y of the spool shaft 7 is in the range of 1 to 10 mm, more preferably 3 to 10 mm, in order to secure the winding amount of the fishing line on the spool and to achieve a reasonable reduction in the size of the reel body.
It is preferable to set the range to 8 mm.

When the diameter of the bottom of the fishing line winding body 7a of the spool 7 is (d), the ratio (d / B) to the dimension (B) of the outer shape 7b of the spool 7 is 45 to 80%. It is preferable to set it. By configuring the shape of the spool 7 so as to be within the above range, it is possible to increase the diameter of the bottom of the fishing line winding body 7a of the spool, secure a sufficient line winding capacity, and wind the fishing line. When the diameter is increased, the winding speed is increased and the winding performance is improved. In addition, line habit is less likely to occur, and line troubles during winding and releasing of the fishing line can be prevented.

The stable release of the fishing line and the maintenance of the winding performance were achieved, the space was effectively used, the size was reduced, and a dual-bearing type reel having improved gripping and holding properties was obtained. Of course, these numerical values are preferable values, and various changes can be made within the above-described range. In addition, the present invention is characterized by the configuration of the outer plate and the spool, and the arrangement position of the spool, and various other mechanisms incorporated in the reel body are not limited to the configurations shown in the drawings. It is possible to change.
