DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing spinning reel with improved operability when releasing fishing line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a fishing spinning reel having a drag mechanism, when a fishing line is released by inverting a bale, a drag force is set to a weak state in order to prevent breakage of a line when a fish is caught. In some cases, there is a problem that at the moment of throwing the fishing line while releasing the fishing line with a finger on the fishing line, the spool is rotated by the weight of the device and the fishing line is pulled out, thereby damaging the finger. To solve this problem, Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 6-37656 discloses an arrangement in which the rotation of the spool is locked in association with the operation of turning the bail to the fishing line releasing position.

[0003]

However, when the fishing line is released, the rotation of the rotor as well as the spool is locked because the spool is locked and engaged with the reel body via the lock member supported by the rotor. Therefore, prior to the winding operation after releasing the fishing line, it is necessary to manually reverse the bail from the releasing position to the winding position. After releasing the fishing line, the operation such as winding the indulging fishing line around the spool is performed immediately and continuously. However, in the above-mentioned publication, the continuity of this operation is broken, the operability is poor, and the winding position of the bail is poor. Return operation to is troublesome.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing spinning reel which can lock the rotation of the spool when the fishing line is released and does not lock the rotation of the rotor.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a rotor which rotates in conjunction with the operation of a handle and supports a bail support member in a reversible manner between a fishing line winding position and a fishing line discharge position. In the spinning reel for fishing having an automatic return mechanism capable of returning the bail support member from the fishing line discharge position to the fishing line winding position by rotating the rotor in the winding direction, the bail support member is formed inside the spool. A locking claw that can be disengaged from the locking portion and is displaceably attached to a support that is prevented from rotating with respect to the spool shaft, and is always attached to the locking claw in a direction in which the locking claw is engaged with the locking portion. The urging means and the rotor rotate together with the rotor and can move in the front-rear direction. If the urging means moves forward and comes into contact with the locking claw, the locking claw engages with the locking portion. With an actuating body to release When the operating body is moved in conjunction with the reverse operation of the bail support member and the bail support member is moved to the fishing line release position, the operating body is retracted and separated from the locking claw, and the fishing line winding position And an operating body drive mechanism for moving the operating body and making contact with the locking claw, to provide a fishing spinning reel.

When the bail support member is inverted to the fishing line releasing position in order to release the fishing line with the drag force reduced, the operation body is retracted by the operation of the operation body drive mechanism, so that the movement of the locking claw is restricted. Instead, the locking claw is engaged with the locking portion of the spool by the urging force of the urging means. Therefore,
The rotation of the spool is locked because the spool is restrained by the support that is prevented from rotating on the spool shaft via the locking claw. Accordingly, the spool does not rotate when the fishing line is released, and the rotor is not regulated at all by the engagement between the locking claws and the locking portions, and remains rotatable.

When the rotor is rotated in the winding direction by operating the handle after the fishing line is released, the bail support member can be returned from the line releasing position to the line winding position by the action of the automatic return mechanism. The body is moved by the action of the operating body drive mechanism, abuts against the locking claw, and releases the engagement of the locking claw with the locking portion against the urging force of the urging means. Therefore, the spool returns to the normal fishing state without being restricted except by the drag force. That is, the rotation of the spool can be locked when the fishing line is released, and the rotation of the rotor is not locked, so that the fishing line can be wound immediately after the release.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. 1 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of a spinning reel according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line BB, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line CC, and FIG. The enlarged view and FIG.
E is a cross-sectional view, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view in a state different from FIG. Handle 1
2, the spool shaft 16 reciprocates back and forth through the spool reciprocating mechanism 14 disposed inside the reel body 10. The spool 18 is attached to the front of the spool shaft by a well-known drag mechanism 28. Further, the rotating shaft barrel 38 having a loose fit outside the spool shaft 16 rotates in synchronization with the reciprocation.

The rotor 20 is mounted so as to rotate integrally with the rotary shaft cylinder 38, and the spool shaft 16
And a pair of support arm portions 22A and 22B provided substantially on the opposite side from the center. A bail support member 26A, 26B rotatable around pivot members 24A, 24B is attached to each support arm, and a bail 50 (FIG. 3) is attached between the bail support members. I have. The distribution urging spring 42 is connected to the bail support member 26A.
Can be biased so as to be maintained at a fishing line winding position P1 shown by a solid line in FIG. 3 and a fishing line discharge position P2 shown by a two-dot chain line.

A support is attached to the spool shaft 16 so as to extend in a vertical direction perpendicular to the spool shaft, so as not to rotate with respect to the spool shaft, and not to be restrained by forward and backward movements of the spool shaft. 30 includes an annular member 3
0A is fixed, and the annular member is attached to the outer ring of the ball bearing 31. A locking claw 32 is attached near the upper end of the support 30 so as to be vertically displaceable. As clearly shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 and the like,
The locking claw 32 is provided with a vertically elongated slot 32H, and a pin member 33 is inserted into the elongated hole 32H. The locking claw 32 does not drop due to the wide head of the pin member 33. So it is held. The locking claw 32 is constantly urged upward by a coil spring 34 held at the upper end of the annular member 30A.

On the inner periphery of the cylindrical portion 18A of the spool 18,
A locking portion 36 formed of a groove extending in the vertical direction of the cylinder is provided, and the coil spring 34 can urge the locking claw 32 to engage with the locking portion. The actuating body 44, which is a disc-shaped cam provided at the tip of the rod member 44A that passes through the hole 20H provided in the wall surface 20K of the rotor 20, is inclined such that the tip cam surface 44K is lowered toward the center. are doing. Therefore, when the operating body 44 advances forward and presses the convex portion 32T integral with the locking claw 32, the locking claw 32 is pushed down together with the convex portion against the urging force of the coil spring 34, and The engagement with the stop 36 is released. During the rotation of the rotor 20, the cam surface 44K and the convex portion 32T are always in a sliding state. Therefore, the tip of the convex portion 32T is easily worn, and is preferably formed of a wear-resistant member.

A constituent member 46 of an operating body drive mechanism having a long hole 46H through which a shaft pin 22T is inserted, which also functions to fix a cover member of the support arm 22A, is built in the support arm 22A of the rotor 20. Have been. The component member 46 is L-shaped in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, and has a shape as shown in plan view shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 3, an engagement protrusion 46 </ b> T is provided at the tip of the component member 46, and interference between the protrusion and the engagement wall portion 26 </ b> K ′ or 26 </ b> K formed on the inner surface of the base of the bail support member 26 </ b> A. By the action, the component member 46 is assigned to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 3 or the position P4 indicated by the two-dot chain line. Therefore, the bail support member 26A is moved from the fishing line winding position P1 indicated by a solid line
When the member 46 is moved to the fishing line releasing position P2 indicated by the dashed line, the component 46 of the operating body drive mechanism is pushed down to the rear position P4 of the reel.

Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 4, when the member 46 of the operating body drive mechanism is lowered to the rear position P4 of the reel, the rod 46A is integrally connected to the member 46 via the rod member 44A. Then, the operating body 44 retreats to the position P3 together with the rod member 44A. Therefore, the locking claw 3 by the operating body 44
2 is released, and the locking claw is engaged with the locking portion 36. Conversely, if the bail support member 26A is returned from the fishing line discharge position P2 shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3 to the fishing line winding position P1 shown by the solid line, the component 46 of the operating body drive mechanism moves from the position P4 to the front of the reel. The operating body 44 advances with the rod member 44A. Therefore, the operating body 44 pulls the locking claw 32 away from the locking portion 36 against the urging force of the coil spring 34.

In the fishing operation, the bail support member 26
When the A (veil 50) is switched to the fishing line release position P2 to release the fishing line, the locking claw 32 is
Is engaged with the locking portion 36 of the spool 18 by the urging force of the spool 18, so that even if the drag mechanism 28 is loosened, it is possible to prevent the spool 18 from rotating when releasing the fishing line.

In this fishing line releasing state, the rotation of the rotor 20 is not restricted, and the rotor 20 can be rotated by operating the handle 12 immediately after releasing the fishing line. An inclined cam surface 4 as shown in FIG.
0 is formed, and as shown in FIG. 4, when the constituent member 46 of the operating body drive mechanism is retracted to the position of P4, it interferes with the cam surface 40 with the rotation of the rotor. That is, when the rotor 20 is rotated in the fishing line winding direction, the constituent member 46 of the operating body drive mechanism is pushed by the cam surface 40 and moves forward of the reel. Then, the operating body 44 also moves to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, and the engagement of the locking claw 32 with the locking portion 36 is released.

Accordingly, the spool 18 can rotate in response to the tightening force of the drag mechanism 28, and can prevent the fishing line from breaking. As can be seen from FIG. 3, when the constituent member 46 of the operating body drive mechanism moves forward of the reel, the bail support member 26A is rotated by the pressing of the engagement wall portion 26K, and the distribution urging spring is moved. The position indicated by the solid line is maintained by the operation of 42 and automatically returns to the fishing line winding position P1. In the present embodiment, the cam mechanism as described above is used as an automatic return mechanism that can return the bail support member from the fishing line release position to the fishing line winding position, but the convex portion is provided on the front side of the leg of the reel. A mechanism may be provided in which the bail support member 26 </ b> A automatically comes into contact with the convex portion as the rotor rotates in the fishing line winding direction.

In the first embodiment, the spool shaft 16
The support 30 does not move (is free) with respect to the back and forth movement of the spool shaft 1. However, if the size and the inclination angle of the cam surface 44K of the operating body 44 are adjusted, the support 30
6, it may be configured to move back and forth.

FIGS. 7 to 9 show a second embodiment. An annular member 30 fixed to a support 30 ′ attached to extend vertically in a direction perpendicular to the spool shaft 16.
A shaft pin member 33 'is attached to the upper end of A', and a locking claw 32 'is attached so as to be rotatable around the shaft pin member 33'. A spring member 34 'is attached between the locking claw 32' and the annular member 30A ', and the locking claw 3 is provided by the urging force of the spring member.
2 'is always a locking portion 36 on the inner circumference of the cylindrical portion 18A of the spool.
And is urged in the direction of the position P5 to be engaged.

The operating member 44 'provided at the tip of the rod member 44A' corresponding to the rod member 44 of the first embodiment can be moved by the same mechanism as that of the first embodiment if the operating member moves forward of the reel. ,
The protrusion 32T 'integrated with the locking claw 32' is pressed to rotate the locking claw 32 'so that the engagement between the locking claw 32' and the locking portion 36 is released. Other structures and operations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3 showing the first embodiment, a bail 50 is attached to the tip of the bail support member 26A, and a cylindrical attachment portion 60 for holding the line roller 68 is integrally formed. Is formed. The lower portion and one end (right side in FIG. 3) of the cylindrical mounting portion of the bail support member are open, and a female screw is formed on the inner surface of the one end. A shaft part 64 is provided at the center of a screw part 62 having a male screw formed on the outer periphery that can be screwed into the female screw.
Can be held upright. A ball bearing 66B is first assembled around the shaft pin 64, and then a line roller 68 is mounted.
And finally a unit product incorporating the ball bearing 66A can be easily incorporated with one hand from the one end side using, for example, a screwdriver. The unit in which the line roller 68 and the ball bearings 66A and 66B are assembled in advance may be assembled into the shaft pin 64 at the same time to assemble the unit product.

The outer dimensions of the line roller 68 are set slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylinder of the mounting portion 60, and the gap between the line roller and the inner circumference of the cylinder is larger than the diameter of the fishing line used. Is also set small. Since the bearings for supporting the line roller are provided at two locations on the left and right, the line roller 68 is prevented from tilting even if the force of the fishing line acts on the line roller 68.
In addition to preventing thread biting, it is possible to prevent a problem that the outer peripheral end of the line roller contacts the inner periphery of the mounting portion. Further, since both ends of the line roller are supported by bearings (ball bearings), play in the thrust direction is prevented, and the side surface of the line roller rotates smoothly without contacting any part.

[0022]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, when the bail support member is inverted to the fishing line releasing position in order to release the fishing line with a reduced drag force, the locking claw is biased. The engagement of the spool is caused by the urging force of the means. Therefore, the rotation of the spool is locked because the spool is restrained by the support that is prevented from rotating on the spool shaft via the locking claw. Therefore, even if the fishing line is released, the rotation of the spool is prevented, so that it is possible to prevent the finger from being damaged by the fishing line. Further, the rotor is not regulated at all by the engagement between the locking claw and the locking portion, and is rotatable by operating the handle. When the rotor is rotated in the winding direction, the bale is actuated by an automatic return mechanism. The support member can be returned from the line release position to the line winding position, and the line can be wound immediately after the release. Further, the engagement of the locking claw with the locking portion is released. Therefore, the spool is not restricted except by the drag force and returns to the normal fishing state.
