Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and in particular, can change the direction of a line guide hole in a level wind mechanism of a fishing line to a posture in which a fishing line can be easily inserted therein. The present invention relates to such fishing reels.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, dual-bearing reels such as casting reels and trolling reels have a level wind mechanism for evenly winding a fishing line on a spool, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-22178.

This type of level wind mechanism includes a traverse cam shaft that rotates in synchronization with the rotation of a spool, a fishing line guide member that meshes with the traverse cam shaft and traverses in the width direction of the spool along the traverse cam shaft, and this guide. The member is configured to have a thread guide hole that is opened forward (toward the rod tip), and the guide member is held by a holding member so as not to rotate with respect to the traverse cam shaft.

Therefore, when the spool is rotated, the traverse cam shaft geared to the spool is rotated, and the fishing line guide member is traversed in the width direction of the spool so that the fishing line is wound on the spool evenly and wound on the spool. The fishing line comes to the average.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional level reel mechanism for fishing reels as described above, since the fishing line guide member is held by the holding member so as not to rotate around the traverse cam shaft, the posture of the fishing line guide member cannot be changed, Moreover, the direction of the thread guide hole is also fixed in the front-back direction of the reel body.
Therefore, when inserting one end of the fishing line wound on the spool into the line guide hole, the line must be threaded through the line guide hole, which makes threading operation relatively complicated and makes the line soft. When the straightness is not obtained due to the curving curl, the threading operation becomes more complicated. In addition, when a thumb rest on which the thumb of the hand is placed is provided, there is a problem that the thumb rest interferes with threading.

[Object of the Invention]

The present invention has been made to solve the above conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel capable of easily and quickly threading a fishing line guide member. To do.

[Means for solving problems]

A fishing reel according to the present invention includes a spool rotatably provided on a frame main body, a handle rotatably provided on the frame main body, and a handle for rotating the spool via a rotation transmission mechanism such as a gear train. A traverse cam shaft that is rotatably attached to the frame main body and is rotatably attached to the frame main body and is rotated in synchronization with the spool, is connected to a cam groove of the traverse cam shaft through an engaging claw, A level wind fishing line guide member supported so as to reciprocate in the axial direction of the spool by rotation of the traverse cam shaft and rotatable around the traverse cam shaft, and rotatable forward of the frame body. A thumb rest that is supported and forms a thumb rest, and the thumb rest and the fishing line guide member are rotatably connected in the same direction, and the fishing line guide member is formed. It is obtained by a mechanism for holding the fishing line guide posture of the spool.

〔The invention's effect〕

In the present invention, since the level wind fishing line guide member traversed in the width direction of the spool by the rotation of the traverse cam shaft does not interfere with the thumb rest, the thumb is placed on the thumb rest of the thumb rest. Even if the user holds the fish, the angler's thumb or the like does not hit the fishing line guide member. Further, when the fishing line is passed through the fishing line insertion hole of the level wind fishing line guiding member which is traversed in the width direction of the spool by the rotation of the traverse cam shaft, the fishing line guiding member is rotated to pull out the fishing line. Since the direction can be changed to the vertical direction orthogonal to the direction, the threading work into the fishing line guide member becomes simple.
