AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a spinning reel for fishing that has a reduced weight by moving an inverting mechanism from the rotor arm on the side with the line roller. This results in a rotor that is lighter than traditional spinning reels, making it easier to fish.

Problems solved by technology

Increasing the strength of the first rotor arm often causes the weight of the first rotor arm to increase.
This structure is also a cause of increased weight of the first rotor arm.
As a result, the overall weight of the rotor is further increased.
However, the structure of the rotor arm on the side from which the inverting mechanism is removed is not reassessed.

first embodiment

[0040]The spinning reel for fishing according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described, with reference to the drawings. In the following description, “front (ward)” indicates the direction in which the fishing line is cast (unreeled); specifically, left in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is the “front (ward)” direction. The opposite direction thereof is referred to as “rear (ward)” In addition, the material of each member is not limited to the examples; well-known materials having the necessary function and durability may be appropriately used.

[0041]As shown in FIG. 1, the spinning, reel 100 for fishing comprises a reel body 110, a rotor 120, a spool 130, a handle 140, and a fishing line guiding mechanism 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the spinning reel 100 for fishing further comprises a drive mechanism 150, an oscillating mechanism 160, a pinion gear 170, and a spool shaft 180.

[0042]As shown in FIG. 1, the reel body 110 comprises a case part 111 and a lid portion 112....

second embodiment

[0109]In the first embodiment, a thick-walled portion 127 is formed on the inner side of the cylinder of the rotor body portion 121 on the first rotor arm 210 side, and the thickness of the other portions of the cylinder of the rotor body portion 121 is reduced, to reduce the overall weight of the rotor body portion 121. In the second embodiment, a mode in which the overall weight of the rotor body portion 121A is reduced by another configuration will be described.

[0110]As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, an inclined thick-walled portion 128a (second reinforcement portion) and an inclined thick-walled portion 128b (second reinforcement portion) having thicker walls than the surroundings, which extend inclined with respect to the cylinder axis S direction, are provided from the rear to the front of the side surface of the rotor body portion (cylindrical portion) 121A, between the first rotor arm 210 and the second rotor arm 220. Extending inclined with respect to the cylinder axis S direc...

modified examples

[0118]The cylindrical portion of positions adjacent to the inclined thick-walled portions 128a and 128b in the second embodiment (pot only directly adjacent positions, but also including nearby positions) may be (partially) open. For example, as in the rotor body portion 121A shown in FIG. 13A, an opening 230a and an opening 230b are disposed in the cylindrical portions between the first rotor arm 210 and the second rotor arm 220. As shown in FIG. 13B, an opening 230c and an opening 230d are also disposed in the opposite side in the same manner. That is, an inclined reinforcement portion 128c (second reinforcement portion) that extends inclined with respect to the cylinder axis S direction is provided, and an opening 230a and an opening 230b are disposed in adjacent positions thereof. Similarly, an inclined reinforcement portion 128d (second reinforcement portion) that extends inclined with respect to the cylinder axis S direction is provided, and an opening 230c and an opening 230d...

Abstract

A spinning reel for fishing includes a rotor, a fishing line guiding mechanism, and a bail reversing mechanism. The rotor has a cylindrical portion, and first and second rotor arms disposed in opposed positions on the cylindrical portion. The fishing line guiding mechanism has a line roller to guide a fishing line, a bail, first and second bail support members supporting first and second ends of the bail, the first bail support member coupled to the first rotor arm, and the second bail support member coupled to the second rotor arm. The bail reversing mechanism inverts the fishing line guiding mechanism to line casting or line winding positions. The line roller is disposed on the first bail support member and the bail reversing mechanism is disposed inside the second rotor arm. The first rotor arm includes two support legs extending forwardly from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-011942, filed in the Japan Patent Office on Jan. 25, 2016, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a spinning; reel for fishing, in particular to a spinning reel for fishing comprising a reduced weight rotor.[0004]Background Information[0005]A conventional spinning reel for fishing can include a spool, a rotor that comprises a pair of rotor arms (e.g., a first rotor arm and a second rotor arm), and a fishing line guiding mechanism that is pivotably mounted to the distal ends of the pair of rotor arms (for example, Japanese Published Unexamined Application No. 2006-101704). The fishing line guiding mechanism is a mechanism for guiding the fishing line onto the spool. This fishing line guiding mechanism comprises a bail, a pair of bail support members th...
