[0005] Patent Literature 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-124183 SUMMARY

[0006] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

[0007] In the bail tripping mechanism of Patent Literature 1, the support hole of the swing member extends in a direction away from the coil spring. In such a structure, in order to support the rod portion in a slidable manner by the support hole, the entire length of the rod portion needs to be lengthened. If the entire length of the rod portion is lengthened, the swing range of the rod portion also becomes large, and therefore, in order to secure a swing space, a cover member for covering the outer side of the rotor arm can be upsized.

[0008] The present application relates to a spinning reel.

[0009] [Means for Solving the Problems]

[0010] A technical solution of the present application relates to a spinning reel type fishing reel having a fishing reel main body, a rotor, a guide ring arm, a coil spring, a swing member, and a cylindrical member. The rotor is configured to be rotatable relative to the fishing reel main body. The guide ring arm is configured to be swingable relative to the rotor. The guide ring arm has a guide ring and a guide ring support member for supporting one end of the guide ring. A rod portion is connected to the guide ring support member. The coil spring is disposed at an outer periphery of the rod portion and applies a force to the rod portion toward the guide ring support member. The swing member has a bottom portion for supporting the coil spring and is swingably supported to the rotor. The cylindrical member is supported to the swing member. The cylindrical member is disposed at an inner periphery of the coil spring, and the rod portion slides relative to the cylindrical member in response to the swing of the guide ring arm.

[0011] In the spinning reel type fishing reel, the rod portion slides relative to the cylindrical member disposed at the inner periphery of the coil spring in response to the swing of the guide ring arm. That is, since the rod portion is supported to the cylindrical member in a slidable manner at the inner periphery of the coil spring, the overall length of the rod portion can be shortened. As a result, since the swing range of the rod portion is reduced, the enlargement of a cover member that covers the outer side of the rotor arm, for example, can be suppressed.

[0012] The cylindrical member can also be integrally formed with the swing member. In this case, the number of parts can be reduced.

[0013] The cylindrical member can also be provided separately from the swing member. The coil spring can also apply a force to the bottom portion of the swing member toward the cylindrical member. In this case, compared to the case where the cylindrical member and the swing member are integrally formed, the overall length of the cylindrical member can be easily lengthened. In addition, the positional relationship between the swing member and the cylindrical member can be maintained by the force of the coil spring.

[0014] The rod portion can have a dimension such that a part of the rod portion is disposed at the inner periphery of the cylindrical member in a state where the coil spring is at a natural length. In this case, when the rod portion is inserted into the cylindrical member at the time of assembly, the eccentricity of the rod portion relative to the cylindrical member can be suppressed. Accordingly, when the rod portion is inserted into the cylindrical member, the rod portion can be prevented from being caught on the cylindrical member.

[0015] The swing member can also have a housing portion that houses a part of the coil spring. The housing portion can also have an opening portion into which the coil spring is inserted. The coil spring can also have a tightly wound portion that is disposed in the opening portion in a retractable manner. In this case, when the coil spring is compressed in response to the swing of the guide ring arm, the gap of the coil spring can be prevented from being caught on the opening portion.

[0016] The swing member can also have a housing portion that houses a portion of the coil spring. The housing portion can also have an opening portion into which the coil spring is inserted. The coil spring can also have a first end portion housed in the housing portion and a second end portion that protrudes from the housing portion. The second end portion can also have an inner diameter that is smaller than an inner diameter of the first end portion. In this case, at the second end portion, the play between the rod portion and the coil spring is reduced, so that the swing of the coil spring can be suppressed. Accordingly, when the coil spring moves together with the rod portion while being compressed in response to the swing of the guide ring arm, the coil spring can be prevented from catching on the opening portion of the housing portion.

[0017] [Effects of Invention]

[0018] According to the present application, in a spinning reel, the overall length of a rod portion connected to a guide ring arm can be shortened. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] Figure 1 is a side view of a spinning reel 10 to which an embodiment of the present application is applied. Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the spinning reel 10 to which an embodiment of the present application is applied. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the spinning reel 10 has a reel body 12, a handle 14, a spool shaft 16, a spool 18, a rotor 20, and a guide ring arm 22.

[0034] Further, in the following description, a direction in which an axis X of the spool shaft 16 extends is referred to as an axial direction, a direction orthogonal to the axis X is referred to as a radial direction, and a direction around the axis X is referred to as a circumferential direction. In addition, a direction in which a fishing line is paid out is referred to as a front direction, and an opposite direction thereof is referred to as a rear direction.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2 , the reel body 12 has a reel body portion 12a and a cylindrical portion 12b. The reel body portion 12a has an internal space. In the internal space, a rotor drive mechanism 24 for driving the rotor 20 and an oscillating mechanism 26 for uniformly winding a fishing line on the spool 18 are housed. The cylindrical portion 12b extends forward from a front portion of the reel body portion 12a.

[0036] The handle 14 is rotatably supported to the reel body 12. The handle 14 is disposed to a left side portion of the reel body 12. Further, the handle 14 can also be disposed to a right side portion of the reel body.

[0037] The spool shaft 16 extends in a front-rear direction. The spool shaft 16 is movably supported to the reel body 12 in the front-rear direction.

[0038] The spool 18 has a fishing line wound thereon. The spool 18 is mounted to a front portion of the spool shaft 16. The spool 18 moves integrally with the spool shaft 16 in the front-rear direction in response to rotation of the handle 14.

[0039] The rotor 20 is a member for winding the fishing line around the spool 18. The rotor 20 rotates around the axis of the spool shaft 16 via the rotor drive mechanism 24 as the handle 14 is rotated. The rotor 20 has a rotor main body portion 20a, a first rotor arm 20b, a second rotor arm 20c, a first cover 20d, and a second cover 20e.

[0040] The rotor main body portion 20a is disposed at the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion 12b of the reel main body 12. The first rotor arm 20b and the second rotor arm 20c extend in the front-rear direction at the outer peripheral portion of the rotor main body portion 20a. The rear ends of the first rotor arm 20b and the second rotor arm 20c are connected to the rotor main body portion 20a. The first rotor arm 20b and the second rotor arm 20c are disposed at positions facing each other in the radial direction across the rotor main body portion 20a. As shown in Figure 3 The first rotor arm 20b has a guide groove 20f. The guide groove 20f extends in the axial direction. The guide groove 20f is open in the radial direction.

[0041] The first cover 20d is fixed to the first rotor arm 20b. The first cover 20d covers the first rotor arm 20b from the radially outer side. The second cover 20e is fixed to the second rotor arm 20c. The second cover 20e covers the second rotor arm 20c from the radially outer side.

[0042] The guide ring arm 22 is configured so as to be swingable with respect to the rotor 20. The guide ring arm 22 is swingably mounted to the top end of each of the first rotor arm 20b and the second rotor arm 20c. The guide ring arm 22 swings between a take-up posture and a release posture. The take-up posture is a posture when the fishing line is wound around the spool 18. The release posture is a posture when the fishing line wound around the spool 18 is paid out.

[0043] The guide ring arm 22 has a guide ring 22a, a first guide ring support member 22b, and a second guide ring support member 22c. The guide ring 22a serves to connect the first guide ring support member 22b and the second guide ring support member 22c. The guide ring 22a extends in a circular arc shape between the first guide ring support member 22b and the second guide ring support member 22c.

[0044] The first guide ring support member 22b is swingably mounted to the top end of the first rotor arm 20b. The first guide ring support member 22b supports one end of the guide ring 22a. As shown in Figure 5 The first guide ring support member 22b has an engagement recess 22d and an engagement hole 22e. The engagement recess 22d extends in the circumferential direction. The engagement recess 22d and the engagement hole 22e are formed at the inner side of the first guide ring support member 22b. The engagement recess 22d and the engagement hole 22e have a shape that is recessed from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side.

[0045] The second guide ring support member 22c is swingably attached to the top end of the second rotor arm 20c. The second guide ring support member 22c supports the other end of the guide ring 22a.

[0046] In Figure 6 , the spinning reel 10 has a rod portion 40, a swing member 50, a coil spring 60, and a cylindrical member 70. The rod portion 40, the coil spring 60, the swing member 50, and the cylindrical member 70 constitute a holding mechanism for holding the posture of the guide ring arm 22 when the guide ring arm 22 is in the winding posture or the releasing posture. The holding mechanism is disposed between the first rotor arm 20b and the first cover 20d.

[0047] The rod portion 40 is composed of a wire made of metal. The rod portion 40 is connected to the first guide ring support member 22b. The rod portion 40 swings together with the swing member 50. The rod portion 40 is slidably supported by the cylindrical member 70. The rod portion 40 is disposed at the inner peripheral portion of the coil spring 60.

[0048] The rod portion 40 has a locking protrusion 40a and a pressing portion 40b. The locking protrusion 40a is formed at the front end of the rod portion 40. The locking protrusion 40a has a shape bent toward the first guide ring support member 22b. The locking protrusion 40a is locked in the engagement hole 22e of the first guide ring support member 22b. The pressing portion 40b abuts against the front end of the coil spring 60. The pressing portion 40b presses the coil spring 60 with the swing of the rod portion 40. Specifically, the pressing portion 40b includes a protrusion 40c and a washer 40d. The protrusion 40c is used to restrict the movement of the washer 40d. The washer 40d is disposed between the protrusion 40c and the coil spring 60. Further, in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the illustration of the protrusion 40c is omitted.

[0049] The swing member 50 is swingably supported by the rotor 20. The swing member 50 swings between a first position shown in Figure 3 and a second position shown in Figure 4 . The first position corresponds to the winding posture of the guide ring arm 22, and the second position corresponds to the releasing posture of the guide ring arm 22. That is, when the guide ring arm 22 is in the winding posture, the swing member 50 is positioned at the first position, and when the guide ring arm 22 is in the releasing posture, the swing member 50 is positioned at the second position.

[0050] The swing member 50 has a housing portion 51, a bottom portion 52, and a protrusion portion 53. The housing portion 51 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The housing portion 51 houses a portion of the coil spring 60. The housing portion 51 has an opening portion 51a into which the coil spring 60 is inserted. The opening portion 51a is open toward the front. The bottom portion 52 is provided at the rear end of the housing portion 51. The bottom portion 52 supports the coil spring 60. In the present embodiment, the bottom portion 52 supports the coil spring 60 via the cylindrical member 70. The bottom portion 52 has a through-hole 52a through which the rod portion 40 can pass.

[0051] The protrusion portion 53 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the housing portion 51 toward the first rotor arm 20b. The protrusion portion 53 is formed in a cylindrical shape. As shown in FIG. 6, the protrusion portion 53 is provided in the cylindrical recessed portion 20g provided in the first rotor arm 20b in a swingable manner. Thus, the swing member 50 is supported in the first rotor arm 20b in a swingable manner. Figure 3

[0052] The coil spring 60 applies a force to the guide ring arm 22 in response to the swing of the guide ring arm 22, thereby dividing the guide ring arm 22 into the winding posture and the releasing posture. The coil spring 60 is provided on the outer periphery of the rod portion 40. The coil spring 60 applies a force to the rod portion 40 toward the front end of the first guide ring support member 22b. In detail, the coil spring 60 applies a force to the rod portion 40 toward the front end of the first guide ring support member 22b by pressing the push portion 40b. In addition, the coil spring 60 applies a force to the cylindrical member 70 toward the bottom portion 52 of the swing member 50. In the winding posture and the releasing posture, the coil spring 60 is in a compressed state.

[0053] Figure 7 indicates a state in which the coil spring 60 is at a natural length. As shown in FIG. 6, in the state in which the coil spring 60 is at the natural length, the rod portion 40 preferably has a size in which a portion thereof (here, the rear end) is disposed on the inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical member 70. In a state in which the coil spring 60 does not apply a force to the rod portion 40, that is, in a state in which the coil spring 60 is not compressed, the rod portion 40 preferably has a size in which the rear end is disposed on the inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical member 70. In addition, Figure 7 Figure 6 indicates a state in which the swing member 50 is in the first position. Thus, in the present embodiment, the coil spring 60 is in a compressed state. Figure 6

[0054] The coil spring 60 has a first end portion 60a and a second end portion 60b. The first end portion 60a is housed in the housing portion 51. The second end portion 60b is exposed from the housing portion 51.

[0055] ​​​The cylindrical member 70 and the swing member 50 are separate. The cylindrical member 70 is supported by the swing member 50. The cylindrical member 70 is housed in the receiving portion 51 of the swing member 50. The cylindrical member 70 does not protrude from the opening 51a. The cylindrical member 70 is positioned rearward than the opening 51a. The cylindrical member 70 extends in the direction along the receiving portion 51. The cylindrical member 70 is open at both ends. The cylindrical member 70 is disposed on the inner periphery of the coil spring 60.

[0056] The cylindrical member 70 slidably supports the rod portion 40. In response to the swinging of the guide arm 22, the rod portion 40 slides on the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical member 70.

[0057] The cylindrical member 70 has a flange 70a. The flange 70a is formed at the rear end of the cylindrical member 70. The flange 70a contacts the bottom 52 of the swing member 50 within the receiving portion 51. The flange 70a is subjected to force against the bottom 52 of the swing member 50 by the helical spring 60.

[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, the spinning reel 10 has a reversing mechanism 80 and a rotor braking mechanism 90. When the guide arm 22 is held in the released position, the reversing mechanism 80 is linked to the rotation of the rotor 20, causing the guide arm 22 to return to the winding position.

[0059] The reversing mechanism 80 has a moving part 81 and a switching part 82. The lever 40, the swinging part 50, the coil spring 60 and the cylindrical part 70 constitute part of the reversing mechanism 80.

[0060] The moving part 81 is constructed of metal wire. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the moving part 81 extends axially. As the guide ring arm 22 swings, the moving part 81 moves in the front-to-back direction along the guide groove 20f of the first rotor arm 20b.

[0061] The moving part 81 has a first end 81a and a second end 81b. The first end 81a has a shape that bends radially outward. The first end 81a engages with the engaging recess 22d of the first guide ring support part 22b. The second end 81b has a shape that bends radially inward. The second end 81b engages with the switching part 82.

[0062] The switching member 82 is fixed to the reel body 12. When the guide ring arm 22 is held in the release attitude, the switching member 82 comes into contact with the second end portion 81b of the moving member 81 in response to the rotation of the rotor 20. The switching member 82 has an inclined surface 82a. When the second end portion 81b of the moving member 81 passes through the inclined surface 82a, the second end portion 81b is pushed forward by the inclined surface 82a, thereby causing the first guide ring support member 22b to swing to a position beyond the stop point. In this way, the guide ring arm 22, which is forced to the release attitude, is forced to the winding-up attitude. As a result, the guide ring arm 22 returns to the winding-up attitude.

[0063] The rotor braking mechanism 90 brakes the rotation of the rotor 20 when the guide ring arm 22 is in the release attitude. The rotor braking mechanism 90 has a braking member 91. The moving member 81 constitutes a part of the rotor braking mechanism 90. The braking member 91 is disposed in a slidable manner to the cylindrical portion 12b of the reel body 12. The braking member 91 has a plurality of recesses 91a. When the guide ring arm 22 is in the release attitude, the second end portion 81b of the moving member 81 engages with the plurality of recesses 91a. When the rotor 20 is intended to rotate while the guide ring arm 22 is in the release attitude, the cylindrical portion 12b of the reel body 12 frictionally engages with the braking member 91, thereby braking the rotation of the rotor 20.

[0064] In the spinning reel 10 of the above-described structure, the rod portion 40 slides on the tubular member 70 disposed to the inner peripheral portion of the coil spring 60 in response to the swinging of the guide ring arm 22. That is, the rod portion 40 is supported to the tubular member 70 in a slidable manner to the inner peripheral portion of the coil spring 60, and thus the overall length of the rod portion 40 can be shortened. As a result, since the swinging range of the rod portion 40 is reduced, for example, the first cover 20d covering the outer side of the first rotor arm 20b can be prevented from being upsized.

[0065] [Other Embodiments] [Other Embodiments]

[0066] The above describes one embodiment of the present application, but the present application is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present application. In particular, the plurality of embodiments and modified examples described in the present specification can be combined as needed. [Other Embodiments]

[0067] In the above-described embodiment, the tubular member 70 and the swinging member 50 are provided separately, but as shown in Figure 9 , the tubular member 70 can be provided integrally with the swinging member 50. [Other Embodiments]

[0068] [Other Embodiments] Figure 10 [Other Embodiments] Figure 11 [Other Embodiments] Figure 10 In this case, the swinging member 50 is located at the first position, and in Figure 11In the second position, the swing member 50 is positioned. The tightly wound portion 60c is retractably disposed in the opening 51a of the receiving portion 51. The tightly wound portion 60c is disposed at the second end 60b of the coil spring 60. The tightly wound portion 60c can be disposed in the middle position of the coil spring 60, as long as it is retractably disposed in the opening 51a in response to the movement of the swing member 50 from the first position to the second position. When the swing member 50 moves to the stop point or near the stop point, the tightly wound portion 60c is preferably disposed in the opening 51a. When the swing member 50 is at the stop point position, the coil spring 60 is in a state of maximum compression. Furthermore, the tightly wound portion 60c can be configured such that when the swing member 50 is in the first position, a portion of the tightly wound portion 60c is disposed in the opening 51a.

[0069] like Figure 12 As shown, the second end 60b of the helical spring 60 may have an inner diameter smaller than that of the first end 60a of the helical spring 60. That is, the second end 60b of the helical spring 60 may have a structure in which the radial clearance between it and the rod portion 40 is reduced. In addition, the helical spring 60 including the tightly wound portion 60c may have an inner diameter smaller than that of the first end 60a of the helical spring 60.
