When the support pin 26a is rotated by 1, the clutch actuating member 15 is automatically returned to the state shown in FIG. 2 by pressing the return projection 16 by the one side.

When the clutch operating member 15 is in the clutch-on position, the return member 25 is restrained from being rotated by the biasing force of the spring member 27 by the bias regulating means described below, and the clutch actuating member 25 is actuated. When the member 15 is in the position of the free rotation state, the engaging portion 2 of the returning member 25
5a is rotated by the urging force of the spring member 27 so that the return rotary member 30
It is configured to be engageable with the return portion 31 of.

The urging restricting means has a stronger force than the urging force for urging the return member 25 to rotate counterclockwise by the spring member 27 at the clutch-on position of the clutch operating member 15 shown in FIG. It has a spring member 35 that prevents rotation by an urging force. The spring member 35 has one end fixed to the end of the clutch actuating member 15, the center part wound around a pin protruding from the clutch actuating member 15, and the other end engaging with the regulating member 37. The rotation of the return member 25 is restricted and held via the restriction member 37. Spring member 35
The biasing force of the spring member 27 is set to be larger than the biasing force of the spring member 27 so that the returning member 25 does not rotate.

The regulating member 37, which is urged by the spring member 35, is constructed so as to escape with the returning operation of the returning member 25 so that the returning member 25 can be smoothly returned. ing. In this embodiment, the clutch actuating member 15 is formed with a guide long hole 15c for allowing the restriction member 37 to escape. As shown in FIG. 4, the regulation member 37 has a columnar shape, and a groove 37a is formed on the peripheral surface thereof to be held so as to be movable in the elongated hole 15b. Therefore, in the frame 2, a guide recess 2a is formed corresponding to the elongated hole 15c so that the regulating member 37 can move. As a result, the restricting member 37, which is pressed against the end of the elongated hole 15c by the spring member 35, is returned by pressing the return member 25 against the return portion 31, as shown by the arrow in FIG. Accordingly, the spring member 35 is pressed against the urging force and escapes along the elongated hole 15c.

With respect to the above-mentioned urging control means, at the position of the clutch actuating member 15 in the clutch-on state, a force stronger than the urging force for urging the return member 25 to rotate counterclockwise by the spring member 27 is applied. Prevents rotation with power,
In addition, when the clutch actuating member 15 is in the clutch-off position, the restoring member 2 is urged by the urging force of the spring member 27.
If the engaging portion 25a of No. 5 is configured so as to be within the movement locus of the returning portion 31, various modifications are possible without being limited to the configuration shown in the drawing. In this case, for example, in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, if the biasing force is reduced with the returning operation of the returning member 25, the returning member 2
The return operation of 5 can be performed smoothly.

The operation of the clutch mechanism of the fishing reel described above will be specifically described. First, it is assumed that the clutch mechanism is in the clutch-on state. At this time, the clutch actuating member 15 is held at the position shown in FIG. 2 by the sorting holding spring 17. Further, the return member 25 rotatably supported by the frame 2 is provided with a biasing force in the counterclockwise direction by the spring member 27 attached to one side, but a biasing force stronger than the biasing force is applied. The rotation is regulated by the spring member 35 and the regulating member 37 which are given. Since the engaging portion 25a formed on the other side of the returning member 25 is not within the movement trajectory of the returning portion 31 of the returning rotary body 30, the handle shaft 6 rotates without any restriction, and The rotational driving force is transmitted to the spool 3 via the drive gear 7, the pinion 5 and the spool shaft 3a.

By operating the switching lever 12 in the arrow direction from the clutch on state shown in FIG. 2, the clutch operating member 15 is moved in the arrow direction by the eccentric pin 13 formed on the cam 12a of the switching lever 12. .
As the clutch actuating member 15 moves in the direction of the arrow, the sloped cam 20 formed on the surface of the clutch actuating member 15 lifts the arm portion of the clutch plate 10 against the urging force of the clutch plate pressing spring 11.
The pinion 5 is disengaged from the fitting portion 3b of the spool shaft 3a,
The spool 3 is in a free rotation state.

As the clutch actuating member 15 moves in the direction of the arrow, the biasing force of the spring member 35 acting on the restoring member 25 weakens, and the restoring member 25 is rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring member 27. To move. As a result, the engaging portion 25a of the returning member 25 enters the movement locus of the returning portion 31 of the returning rotary body 30, and the returning portion 31 becomes engageable with the engaging portion 25a. The position of the returning portion 31 of the returning rotary body 30 is not constant depending on the number of the returning body 31 and the position of the returning rotary body 30.
The shape, position, etc. of the returning member 25 are set so that the engaging portion 25a of the returning member 25 can be within the movement locus regardless of the position of the returning portion 31. The clutch actuating member 15 is held in the clutch-off state by the sorting holding spring 17, as shown in FIG.

When the handle is rotated from the state shown in FIG. 3, the return rotary body 30 and the return portion 31 are rotationally driven in the clockwise direction. The returning portion 31 abuts on the engaging portion 25a of the returning member 25 within the movement locus thereof, and as shown in FIG. 5, rotates the returning member 25 counterclockwise about the support pin 26a. . With this pivoting movement, the returning member 25 comes into contact with the restricting member 37, but as described above, the restricting member 37 escapes along the guiding long hole 15c, so that the returning member 25 smoothly moves. It is rotated. By the counterclockwise rotation of the returning member 25, a portion on one side thereof abuts on the returning projection 16 provided on the clutch operating member 15 to direct the clutch operating member 15 to the position shown in FIG. Press. Then, when the clutch actuating member 15 is pressed to some extent, the clutch actuating member 15 is held in the clutch-on position shown in FIG.

As described above, the return member 25 is rotatably supported on the frame 2 of the reel unit, one side of the return member is the clutch actuating member 15, and the other side is integrally rotated with the handle shaft. Since the clutch is configured to be brought into contact with the returning portion 31 of the body 30 to switch and return the clutch from the free state to the winding state, the operation of the returning member 25 is stable, and a smooth and reliable returning operation can be performed. . Further, the clutch actuating member 15 is configured to be sorted and held in the free state or the winding state by the sorting and holding spring 17, and is not configured to be held in the frame 2 by using a plurality of spring members. It is stable and the return member can be provided in a limited space.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the configurations shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the clutch actuating member 15 is configured to linearly slide, but, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a configuration that rotates.
