Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a handle knob of a fishing reel. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the past, in a fishing reel, if seawater penetrates into a handle knob, the seawater enters a fastener, a reel, and the like, and when the moisture in the seawater evaporates, components contained in the seawater, mainly salt, are fixed to a bearing of a support shaft that rotatably supports a handle knob, and the like, and it is possible that the so-called salt seizure in which the rotation is no longer normal occurs. As a penetration path of the seawater, the end portion of the support shaft can be considered, and in order to prevent the penetration of the seawater from the outside, a peg-like member, a cover, and the like are provided in a manner facing the end portion of the support shaft (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No. 2009-148173

[0006] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No. 2004-236541 SUMMARY

[0007] PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION

[0008] However, even if the cover of the handle knob and the like is used as a peg for waterproofing as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, in the case of actually performing fishing, external loads such as the handle knob being strongly held and the handle being rotated are applied. Therefore, the peg-like portion for the purpose of waterproofing is also subjected to loads such as bending and compression, and it is possible that the waterproofing function is impaired.

[0009] Further, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, waterproofing with the hollow member is achieved by providing an O-ring to the outer periphery of the portion that is embedded in the hollow member, but by the O-ring that is made of rubber and the like being in contact with seawater that contains various components, mainly salt, and solid matters such as fine sand, it is possible that deterioration occurs.

[0010] Therefore, the present application is to solve the problems of the conventional technology described above, and to provide a handle knob of a fishing reel that can prevent the penetration of seawater into the handle knob.

[0011] MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS

[0012] (1) The present application is a handle for a fishing reel. The first technical solution has: a support shaft having an outer peripheral portion fixed to a handle arm; a bearing provided on the outer peripheral portion; a cylindrical member rotatably provided on the support shaft via the bearing; a handle grip having a through hole through which the cylindrical member is inserted from one end and open at the other end, having a fixed end fixed to one end of the cylindrical member to rotate integrally with the cylindrical member inserted into the through hole, and an open end supported by the other end of the cylindrical member; and a waterproof plug for waterproofing the open end; the waterproof plug is composed of an insertion portion inserted from the through hole toward the open end and a waterproof portion arranged on the outer periphery of the insertion portion and abutting against the inner periphery of the through hole.

[0013] The present application is a handle for a fishing reel. The first technical solution has: a support shaft having an outer peripheral portion fixed to a handle arm; a bearing provided on the outer peripheral portion; a cylindrical member rotatably provided on the support shaft via the bearing; a handle grip having a through hole through which the cylindrical member is inserted from one end and open at the other end, having a fixed end fixed to one end of the cylindrical member to rotate integrally with the cylindrical member inserted into the through hole, and an open end supported by the other end of the cylindrical member; and a waterproof plug for waterproofing the open end; the waterproof plug is composed of an insertion portion inserted from the through hole toward the open end and a waterproof portion arranged on the outer periphery of the insertion portion and abutting against the inner periphery of the through hole.

[0014] The second technical solution of the present application in the first structure can be configured such that the waterproof portion has a strip-shaped protrusion formed around the insertion front end side of the insertion portion.

[0015] In the structure of the second technical solution of the present application, the waterproof portion is made into a strip-shaped protrusion formed on the insertion front end side. By having the strip-shaped protrusion on the insertion front end side, a gap between the waterproof portion and the cylindrical member can be prevented. According to the structure of the second technical solution of the present application, since there is no O-ring, there is no aging of the seal portion, etc. In addition, since the number of parts is small and the structure is simple, productivity improvement and cost reduction can be achieved.

[0016] The third technical solution of the present application in the first or second technical solution can be configured such that the waterproof portion has a tapered portion that expands in diameter from the insertion rear end side of the insertion portion toward the insertion front end side.

[0017] In the structure of the third aspect of the present application, by making the waterproof portion a tapered portion that expands in diameter from the insertion portion toward the insertion tip side of the cylindrical member, the range of elastic diameter reduction is expanded, and in particular on the insertion tip side, the push pressure against the inner periphery of the cylindrical member can be increased. According to this structure, by elastically deforming the tapered waterproof portion so that it abuts against the inner periphery of the cylindrical member, a waterproof state can be reliably maintained.

[0018] The fourth aspect of the present application, in any one of the first through third aspects, can be configured such that the waterproof fitting is provided with a flange body having an outer diameter larger than that of the waterproof portion, disposed on the insertion rear end side of the insertion portion.

[0019] In the structure of the fourth aspect of the present application, by providing the flange body, the opening on the other end side, through which seawater is assumed to penetrate from the other end of the cylindrical member, is closed, and since the flange body abuts against the opening peripheral portion in a manner that covers the opening, the penetration path of seawater can be closed. According to this structure, by providing the flange body, reliable waterproofing can be achieved together with the waterproof portion.

[0020] The fifth aspect of the present application, in any one of the first through fourth aspects, can be configured to further include a cover member attached to the handle knob, which holds and covers the insertion rear end side of the waterproof fitting.

[0021] In the structure of the fifth aspect of the present application, by providing the cover member that covers the waterproof fitting and the flange body by pushing them, since seawater does not directly act on the waterproof fitting and the flange body, and the penetration path of seawater can be lengthened, the waterproof function of the waterproof fitting can be maintained for a long period of time. In addition, the cover member can also serve as a signboard.

[0022] The sixth aspect of the present application, in any one of the first through fifth aspects, can be configured such that the waterproof portion is a separate cap that covers the insertion tip side of the insertion portion.

[0023] In the structure of the sixth aspect of the present application, by making the insertion tip side of the insertion portion a waterproof portion that is covered by a separate cap, the material that is suitable for the elasticity of the waterproofing can be arbitrarily selected. For example, in the case where the insertion portion is resin-molded, it is possible that a parting line is generated around it, but by making the waterproof portion a separate cap, the risk of a gap being generated due to the parting line abutting against the inner periphery of the cylindrical member and allowing water to penetrate can be eliminated. Furthermore, by making the separate cap on the insertion tip side of the insertion portion of a resin that is more rigid than the resin of the insertion portion, the posture when being inserted into the insertion hole is more stable, and a gap or the like no longer occurs, and the waterproofing is improved.

[0024] Effects of the Invention

[0025] The present application is to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and can provide a fishing reel handle that prevents seawater from penetrating into the handle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0032] (Explanation of the First Embodiment)

[0033] Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the handle of the fishing reel of the present application will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3 Figure 1 is a side view showing the overall structure of the fishing reel of the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 is Figure 1 a side sectional view of the handle shown in Figure 3 is a partially enlarged sectional view of the A part Figure 2 ) of the handle shown in Figure 2

[0034] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a spinning type fishing reel will be described, but the present application can of course be applied to other forms of fishing reels (for example, double bearing reels, electric reels, etc.) that use the same handle.

[0035] Further, for convenience, as Figure 1 ​​​The drawing-out direction of the fishing line (the tip direction of the fishing rod not shown) is indicated as "front", and the side of the reel foot (attachment foot) of the fishing rod not shown is indicated as "upper" for the explanation.

[0036] <Overall structure of the fishing reel>

[0037] The fishing reel 1 according to the present embodiment is a spinning reel, and has the following configuration: if the handle 2 is rotated, the rotor 3 is rotated around the line cup 4 while the line cup 4, which is a spool-like portion, reciprocates in the front-rear direction, and the fishing line 40 is wound around the line cup 4.

[0038] In Figure 1 , the state in which the fishing reel 1 is attached to the fishing rod not shown is indicated, and in the following explanation, the drawing-out direction of the fishing line (the tip direction of the fishing rod not shown) is indicated as "front", and the side of the reel foot 50 of the fishing rod not shown is indicated as "upper" for the convenience. In addition, the handle 2 and the line cup 4 described later are rotating members, but there are cases in which the explanation is made with the state in which they are stationary in the direction of the arrow A as a reference. Figure 1

[0039] If referring to Figure 1 , the fishing reel 1 has a reel body 10, a reel foot 50 integrated with the reel body 10, a rotating rotor 3, and a line cup 4 capable of moving forward and backward, which is supported on the front side of the reel body 10 so as to move forward and backward in synchronization with the rotation of the rotor 3, and winds the fishing line 40.

[0040] Further, the rotation of the rotor 3 (with the front-rear direction as the axis) and the forward and backward movement of the line cup 4 are operated by rotating the handle 2 (with the left-right direction as the axis) which is rotatably supported by the reel body 10, and the winding of the fishing line 40 can be performed. The handle 2 can be attached to the positions on the front side (left side) and the inner side (right side) of the reel body 10 with the handle shaft 22 as the fulcrum depending on the dominant hand of the user or the like. Figure 1

[0041] The handle 2 has a handle knob 20 and a handle arm 21 rotatably attached to the handle knob 20 at the tip end. The handle arm 21 is attached to the base end of the handle shaft 22.

[0042] The reel body 10 has a reel body 11 having a space inside, and a body protection member 12 which protects the rear side of the reel body 11.

[0043] ​​The reel body 11 integrally includes a reel foot portion 50 extending towards the fishing rod (not shown) (upper side) and a T-shaped rod mounting portion 51 extending forward and backward from the upper end of the reel foot portion 50. The upper side of the rod mounting portion 51 is concave, formed with the curvature of the fishing rod's outer periphery, and this concave portion abuts against the fishing rod, allowing the fishing reel 1 to be mounted on the fishing rod. The reel body 11 houses a mechanism that functions as a reel for rotational drive and transmission. Furthermore, the spool shaft (not shown) of the spool 4 passes through the reel body 11, and... Figure 1 The spool shaft, which extends in the front-to-back direction, can be supported by reciprocating movement in the front-to-back direction.

[0044] The body protector 12 covers the rear of the winding reel body 11 and is fixed to the winding reel body 11 with small screws or the like. The handle shaft 22 is supported in the support portion of the winding reel body 11 via a bearing for smoothing rotation.

[0045] The spool 4 winds the fishing line 40 around the outer periphery of the winding body 41. A rotor 3 is arranged around the spool 4, and the rotor 3 extends forward with a pair of rotor arms 35, 35. Line guide arms 32, 32 are also oscillatingly arranged at the front ends of the rotor arms 35, 35. Furthermore, the line guide arms 32, 32 are connected to both ends of the line guide 31. On one side of the line guide arms 32, 32, a fishing line guide (line loop) 36 is provided to guide the fishing line 40 to the spool 4.

[0046] The line stop arms 32, 32 are configured to swing together with the line stop 31 relative to the rotor arms 35, 35 in a winding posture that can wind the fishing line 40 onto the spool 4 and a releasing posture that can release the fishing line 40 from the spool 4.

[0047] exist Figure 1 In the diagram, the line stop arms 32 and 32 indicate a winding posture in which the fishing line 40 can be wound onto the spool 4. In this posture, if the handle 2 is rotated by the user, the line stop arms 32 and 32 rotate around the spool 4 by means of the winding wheel mechanism provided in the winding wheel body 11, which performs the functions of rotation drive and transmission. The fishing line 40 is wound onto the winding body part 41 of the spool 4 via the fishing line guide part (line loop) 36 provided on one of the line stop arms 32 and 32.

[0048] At this time, as described above, the spool 4 moves back and forth in the front-to-back direction relative to the reel body 10, and the fishing line 40 is evenly wound onto the winding body 41 of the spool 4.

[0049] <Structure of a Gripped Ball>

[0050] Next, the structure of the pellet 20 will be explained in more detail using the accompanying drawings. For example... Figure 2As shown, the grip ball 20 is provided with a support shaft 23 fixed to the handle arm 21, a pair of bearings 24, 26 arranged so as to abut the outer peripheral portion of the support shaft 23, and a handle knob 100 rotatably arranged with respect to the support shaft 23 via the bearings 24, 26.

[0051] The handle knob 100 is matched with the method of fishing, the target fish, and the taste of the fisherman, and has various outer contour shapes such as an I type, a T type, and a round type. In addition, the outer contour portion gripped by the fisherman can be made of rubber, metal, carbon, cork, or the like. Furthermore, the internal structure of the handle knob 100 itself is designed and manufactured in correspondence with the outer contour shape and the material. In the present embodiment, the round type handle knob 100 is described as an example, and the internal structure thereof is also described in a simplified manner. In addition, the waterproof plug 120 described below can be applied to the handle knob 100 regardless of the outer contour shape and the material.

[0052] The handle knob 100 of the present embodiment has an outer contour shape of an oval shape that is longer in the front-rear direction and shorter in the up-down direction in Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the first handle outer contour 102 covering the bearing 26 side and the second handle outer contour 104 covering the bearing 24 side are combined together to form the outer contour shape thereof. Inside the first handle outer contour 102 and the second handle outer contour 104, the first handle main body 106 and the second handle main body 108 are accommodated, respectively.

[0053] In the second handle outer contour 104, the second handle main body 108, and the first handle main body 106 of the handle knob 100, an insertion hole 110 is formed that is inserted from the handle arm 21 side along the support shaft 23 to the left side. The insertion hole 110 is a through hole that is inserted from one end by a cylindrical member 112, and the other end is open. From the insertion port 117 of the handle arm 21 side of the insertion hole 110, the cylindrical member 112 rotatably supported with respect to the support shaft 23 is inserted.

[0054] The cylindrical member 112 is rotatable with respect to the support shaft 23 via the bearings 24, 26. That is, the user (fisherman) is allowed to easily perform the operation of gripping the grip ball 20 and rotating the handle arm 21 around the handle shaft 22 to wind the fishing line 40. Therefore, the cylindrical member 112 and the support shaft 23 are configured to be rotatably supported by the bearings 24, 26, and seawater can penetrate into the gap between the cylindrical member 112 and the support shaft 23. It is possible that the components such as salt contained in the seawater can cause the bearings 24, 26 to be fixed, and thus the so-called salt seizure can occur, which can cause an obstacle to the rotation. Therefore, it is necessary to reliably prevent this.

[0055] ​At the end of the through hole 110 in the outer contour 104 of the second handle, on the bearing 24 side, a fixing end 114 is formed to fix the cylindrical component 112 in the handle handle 100. In addition, at the end of the through hole 110 in the outer contour 104 of the second handle, an open end 116 is also formed to support the cylindrical component 112. In this way, the cylindrical component 112 is integrated with the handle handle 100 and can rotate.

[0056] The bearing 26 is pushed towards the shaft from the open end 116, restricting the leftward movement of the support shaft 23. Furthermore, a female thread 28 is formed in the center of the end face of the support shaft 23 on the bearing 26 side. By engaging the male thread 30 with the female thread 28, the rightward movement of the support shaft 23 is restricted. In doing so, the support shaft 23 is fixed in its left-right position while remaining freely rotatable relative to the handle 100.

[0057] The handle 100 also includes a waterproof plug 120 for waterproofing the open end 116. For detailed construction information, please refer to the following description. Figure 2 A partial enlarged sectional view of part A, i.e. Figure 3 The waterproof plug 120 is formed by an insertion part 122 and a waterproof part 124. The insertion part 122 is inserted from the opening 118 formed on the left side of the insertion hole 110 in the first handle body 106 toward the open end 116. The waterproof part 124 is disposed on the outer periphery of the insertion part 122 and the strip-shaped protrusion abuts against the inner periphery of the insertion hole 110.

[0058] The waterproof plug 120 is cap-shaped with a bottom hole 128, designed to facilitate a reduction in diameter at the insertion tip when the plug 120 is inserted into the insertion hole 110. The material of the waterproof plug 120 is not particularly limited; the insertion portion 122 can be made of either a plastic or elastic material, preferably a material that maintains its shape after insertion into the insertion hole 110. On the other hand, the waterproof portion 124 is preferably made of a material that can deform more elastically than the insertion portion 122. Furthermore, the insertion portion 122 and the waterproof portion 124 constituting the waterproof plug 120 can be either separate or integral.

[0059] Here, when the waterproof plug 120 is inserted into the insertion hole 110, the waterproof part 124 is pushed in while rubbing against the inner circumference of the insertion hole 110. At this time, although it depends on the sealing condition inside the insertion hole 110, the air pressure inside the insertion hole 110 becomes higher than that outside, so the effect of preventing seawater from seeping in can be improved.

[0060] The waterproof part 124 abuts against the inner circumference of the insertion hole 110, sealing the insertion hole 110 and preventing seawater from seeping into the insertion hole 110 from the outside. This avoids malfunctions caused by salt or other components in the seawater becoming stuck around the support shaft 23 of the handle arm 21 inserted into the cylindrical part 112 of the handle handle 100. Furthermore, the insertion hole 110 can be sealed even without the bottom hole 128.

[0061] To further enhance the waterproof function of the waterproof plug 120, after the waterproof plug 120 is inserted into the insertion hole 110, a cover component 130 can be attached to retain and cover the rear end 123 of the insertion portion of the waterproof plug 120. The cover component 130 can be attached by threading with the cover component fixing threaded part 132 or by using adhesive or the like. In addition, a sealing element can be sandwiched between the cover component 130 and the waterproof plug 120.

[0062] The cover component 130 can also be used as a sign. Generally, a "sign" is a component made of metal, plastic, or other materials that displays necessary information in a way that prevents it from easily disappearing. In this embodiment, it displays necessary information as a typical sign, and by maintaining the waterproof plug 120, its waterproof function is prevented from decreasing. That is, by covering and pressing the waterproof plug 120, seawater is prevented from directly contacting the waterproof plug 120, and the path of seawater infiltration is lengthened, thus maintaining the waterproof function of the waterproof plug 120 for a long period.

[0063] In addition, in this embodiment, the cover component 130, which is attached to the handle 100 and holds and covers the inserted rear end side of the waterproof plug 120, is described as serving as a sign, but other components such as a cover may be used instead of a sign.

[0064] (Description of the second embodiment)

[0065] Next, refer to Figure 4 The second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 4 This refers to part A of the pellet in the second embodiment (see reference). Figure 2 (A partially enlarged cross-sectional view.) Furthermore, in the following description, descriptions of structures identical to those in the first embodiment are omitted; only structures that differ from the first embodiment will be described.

[0066] Reference Figure 4 The waterproof plug 220 of the second embodiment is formed with its diameter extending from the insertion rear end side of the insertion portion 222 toward the insertion front side (from...). Figure 4The tapered portion 226, which is expanded in diameter from the left side toward the right side, constitutes the waterproof portion 224 that abuts against the inner periphery of the insertion hole 110. The waterproof plug 220 also has a cap shape with a bottomed hole 228 formed therein, as in the first embodiment.

[0067] The waterproof plug 220, by forming the waterproof portion 224 with the tapered portion 226, reliably abuts against the inner periphery of the insertion hole 110 upon insertion of the waterproof plug 220, even if the waterproof plug 220 is slightly tilted with respect to the axis of the insertion hole 110, and a sealed state can be achieved. Further, by having the bottomed hole 228, reliable insertion can be achieved by effectively using the elastic displacement of the waterproof plug 220 upon insertion.

[0068] In addition, in the second embodiment as well, by covering and pressing the waterproof plug 220 with the cover member 130, seawater does not directly act on the waterproof plug 220, and the penetration path of seawater can be lengthened, so the waterproof function of the waterproof plug 220 can be maintained for a long period of time.

[0069] (Explanation of the Third Embodiment)

[0070] Next, with reference to Figure 5 The third embodiment of the present application will be described. Figure 5 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the A portion (see Figure 2 ) of the handle knob relating to the third embodiment. In the following description, the description of the structures common to the first and second embodiments will be omitted, and only the structures that differ will be described.

[0071] With reference to Figure 5 , the waterproof plug 320 of the third embodiment is provided with a flange body 326 having a larger outer diameter than the outer diameter of the waterproof portion 324, which is disposed on the insertion rear end side of the insertion portion 322. The flange body 326 abuts against the first handle main body 106 in a manner that covers the peripheral portion of the opening 118 and the opening 118. Also in the third embodiment, the waterproof plug 320 is inserted into the insertion hole 110, a bottomed hole 328 is formed in the waterproof plug 320, and the waterproof plug 320 is covered and pressed by the cover member 130.

[0072] The flange body 326 can be integrally formed as part of the waterproof plug 320, or can be a separate body that is adhered, fixed, attached, or the like to the waterproof plugs 120 and 220 of the first and second embodiments.

[0073] In this way, by providing the flange body 326, the opening 118, through which seawater is assumed to penetrate past the bearing 26 at the other end of the cylindrical member 112, is closed, the penetration path of seawater can be limited, and by having the flange body 326, reliable waterproofing can be achieved together with the waterproof portion 324.

[0074] (Explanation of the 4th embodiment)

[0075] Next, referring to Figure 6 The 4th embodiment of the present application will be explained. Figure 6 is a partially enlarged sectional view showing the A portion of the grip ball relating to the 4th embodiment (refer to Figure 2 ). Also, in the following explanation, the explanation about the same structure as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd embodiments will be omitted, and only the different structure will be explained.

[0076] Referring to Figure 6 , the waterproof plug 420 relating to the 4th embodiment has, as the same structure as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd embodiments, the insertion portion 422 inserted into the insertion hole 110, the waterproof portion 424 abutting against the inner periphery of the insertion hole 110, the flange body 426 closing the opening 118, and the cover member 130 covering and pushing the waterproof plug 420.

[0077] However, in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd embodiments, the waterproof plug 420 which can be applied in one body or in separate bodies is, in this embodiment, a structure having the cap-shaped waterproof portion 424 provided in separate bodies, which is fitted into the fitting portion 428 formed on the insertion front end side of the insertion portion 422.

[0078] By making such a structure, the insertion portion 422 and the waterproof portion 424 are in separate bodies, and different raw materials can be applied. For example, in the case where the insertion portion 422 is provided as a resin molding, it is possible that a parting line is generated around, but by making the waterproof portion 424 as a cap in separate bodies, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the parting line abuts against the inner periphery of the cylindrical member 112 to generate a gap and water seepage.

[0079] The embodiments of the present application have been explained above, but the present application is not limited to such embodiments, and can be changed and used within the scope not departing from the gist of the present application.
