Specifically, the sound generating body (20) is characterized in that it has convex parts (51) and concave parts (61) formed alternately in the circumferential direction, and the concave part (61) has: a first top part (64) which is the boundary with the convex part (51) on the adjacent side; a first surface (62) which is continuous with the first top part (64) and is concave in the radially outer direction; a second surface (63) which is continuous with the first surface (62); and a second top part (65) which is continuous with the second surface (63) and is the boundary between the concave part (61) and the convex part (51) on the adjacent side, and the distance (L2) from the second top part (65) to the deepest part (66) of the concave part (61) is longer than the distance (L1) from the first top part (64) to the deepest part (66) of the concave part (61).

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a spinning reel for fishing. Background Art

[0002] The spinning reel for fishing has a reel shaft that moves forward and backward according to the rotation operation of the handle, and a reel is mounted on the reel shaft (see Patent Document 1). The reel is configured to be relatively rotatable relative to the reel shaft, and a reel sounding mechanism for notifying the relative rotation is provided on the reel shaft and the reel. The reel sounding mechanism is composed of a sounding body provided on the reel side and a sounding component provided on the reel shaft side.

[0003] As shown in Patent Document 1, the sound-generating body is, for example, formed by a ratchet groove formed on the inner circumference of the reel. The sound-generating component is, for example, formed by a ratchet spring having a protrusion protruding radially outward. When fishing, as the reel rotates as the fishing line is released, a ratcheting sound is generated by the engagement of the protrusion of the ratchet spring with the convex and concave portions of the ratchet groove.

[0004] Patent Literature

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-073670 Summary of the invention

[0006] In Patent Document 1, since the concave portion of the ratchet groove is in a semicircular arc shape, the amount of deformation of the ratchet spring becomes larger relative to the rotational movement distance of the spool when the fishing line is released, and the elastic resistance of the ratchet spring is easily received during the force release operation. As a result, there is a problem that a smooth force release operation is hindered. In addition, with the existing structure, each sliding part will also become easy to be damaged, so there is a problem that the sound generation performance will also be reduced.

[0007] The present invention is made to solve such a problem, and the technical problem to be solved is to provide a spinning reel for fishing that can prevent the reduction of sound generation performance and reduce the resistance during the drag operation.

[0008] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention is a spinning reel for fishing, comprising a reel that is rotatably frictionally coupled to a force release device at the top end of a reel shaft arranged on a reel body, and a reel sounding mechanism, wherein a sounding body formed in a convex and concave shape on the inner circumferential surface of the reel engages with a sounding component arranged on the reel shaft, and is characterized in that the sounding body comprises convex portions and concave portions formed alternately in a circumferential direction, the concave portion comprising: a first top portion, which is a boundary with the convex portion on an adjacent side; a first surface, which is continuous with the first top portion and is concave in a radially outward direction; a second surface, which is continuous with the first surface; and a second top portion, which is continuous with the second surface and is a boundary between the concave portion and the convex portion on the adjacent side, the second surface being formed on the opposite side of the direction in which the reel rotates when the fishing line is released, and a distance L2 from the second top portion to the deepest portion of the concave portion is longer than a distance L1 from the first top portion to the deepest portion of the concave portion.

[0009] According to the present invention, since the distance L2 is longer than the distance L1, the sound-generating component can smoothly move from the second surface to the second top. Thus, the resistance during the force release operation can be reduced. In addition, by providing a depth in the radially outer direction on the first surface side, the sound space required for sound generation can be ensured. In addition, since the sound-generating component smoothly moves on the second surface side, wear of each sliding part can be prevented. Thus, the reduction of the sound generation performance can be prevented.

[0010] Furthermore, it is preferred that the first surface is a curved surface and the second surface is an inclined surface. According to the present invention, the sound-generating component can be moved more smoothly from the second surface to the second top portion.

[0011] Furthermore, it is preferable that the sound-generating member includes a detent spring having a protrusion protruding radially outward, and the protrusion engages with the sound-generating body. According to the present invention, the sound-generating property can be further improved by providing the protrusion.

[0012] According to the spinning reel for fishing according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the sound generation performance and to reduce the resistance during the drag operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Hereinafter, a spinning reel for fishing according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The direction shown is based on the direction shown in the figure. When referring to "left and right", Figure 2 The directions shown are reference only.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the spinning reel R1 for fishing mainly comprises: a reel body 1, which is formed with a foot 1A for mounting on a fishing rod not shown in the figure; a rotor 2, which is rotatably arranged in front of the reel body 1; and a spool 10, which is arranged to be movable in the forward and backward directions synchronously with the rotational movement of the rotor 2.

[0027] A handle shaft 3 is rotatably supported on the reel body 1 via a bearing (not shown), and a handle 4 for winding and retracting operation is attached to a protruding end portion of the handle shaft 3 .

[0028] The shaft cylinder is fixed to the handle shaft 3 to prevent rotation. A drive gear 6 is integrally formed on the shaft cylinder, and the drive gear 6 is formed with internal teeth for winding and driving the rotor 2. The drive gear 6 meshes with a pinion 7a of a drive shaft cylinder 7, which extends in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft 3 and has a hollow portion extending in the axial direction.

[0029] The drive shaft cylinder 7 is rotatably supported on the reel body 1 by a bearing, and a reel shaft 8 is inserted through the hollow portion thereof so as to be movably axially. The reel shaft 8 extends in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft 3, and a reel 10 is installed on the top end side.

[0030] A well-known swing mechanism 9 for moving the spool shaft 8 forward and backward is provided at the rear end portion of the spool shaft 8 .

[0031] The drive shaft tube 7 extends toward the winding drum 10 and is secured at its front end with a nut 7b (see Figure 2 ) and the rotor 2 is installed. In addition, the rotation of the drive shaft tube 7 in the reverse direction (rotation in the fishing line releasing direction) is restricted by a one-way clutch not shown.

[0032] The rotor 2 includes a cylindrical portion 2a located within the skirt portion 10a of the drum 10 (see Figure 2 ) and a pair of arm portions 2b, 2c.

[0033] At the front end of each arm 2b, 2c, a guide wire support member 2d, 2e is supported so as to be rotatable between a fishing line winding position and a fishing line releasing position, and a guide wire 2f for picking up the fishing line in the released state is arranged between these guide wire support members 2d, 2e. One base end of the guide wire 2f is mounted on a line roller 2g provided integrally with the guide wire support member 2d, and the other base end is mounted on the guide wire support member 2e.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the spool 10 has a cylindrical shape and includes a fishing line winding main body 10c around which a fishing line (not shown) is wound between a skirt 10a and a front flange 10b. The spool 10 will be described in detail later.

[0035] In such a spinning reel R1 for fishing, when the handle 4 is wound up, the rotor 2 is driven to rotate via the drive gear 6 and the pinion 7a, and the spool 10 is moved forward and backward via the pinion 7a and the swing mechanism 9. Thus, a fishing line (not shown) is evenly wound around the fishing line winding body 10c of the spool 10 via the line roller 2g.

[0036] Next, the reel 10 will be described in detail. Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the reel 10 includes a reel body 11 and a sound-generating body 20 provided separately from the reel body 11. In addition, in the present embodiment, the reel body 11 and the sound-generating body 20 are separate bodies, but they may be integrated.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the reel body 11 is mounted on the reel shaft 8 through a retaining member 30. The reel shaft 8 includes a main body 8a having a circular cross section and a top end 8b having a substantially elliptical cross section. In addition, the outer peripheral surface of the top end 8b has a straight portion and a curved portion. A step portion 8c is formed on the boundary portion between the main body 8a and the top end 8b.

[0038] The holding member 30 is attached to the tip portion 8b. A through hole 8d is formed in the tip portion 8b and passes through the tip portion 8b in a direction perpendicular to the axis. A locking pin 33 for locking the holding member 30 is inserted into the through hole 8d.

[0039] The holding member 30 is in the shape of a tube through which the tip portion 8b of the spool shaft 8 passes, and includes a base portion 31a and a flange portion 31b. The base portion 31a includes a circular inner peripheral portion 31c (see Figure 3 ), having an inner diameter that can be mounted on the curved portion of the top end portion 8b having a substantially elliptical cross section; and an inner peripheral portion 31d having a substantially elliptical cross section (refer to Figure 2 ), formed on the front side of the circular inner circumference 31c, and can be mounted on both the straight and curved portions of the substantially elliptical cross-section of the top end portion 8b. A through hole 32 is formed on the inner circumference 31d, into which the locking pin 33 is inserted. The through hole 32 is connected to the through hole 8d of the top end portion 8b of the reel shaft 8. By passing through the through hole 32 and locking the locking pin 33 in the through hole 8d, the holding member 30 is installed so as to be unable to move in the axial direction and unable to rotate in the axial direction.

[0040] A rear bearing 18b composed of a bearing is externally fitted on the outer surface of the rear portion of the base 31a. The rear bearing 18b is prevented from falling out by a washer 34 arranged on the rear end surface of the base 31a. The support portion 41 constituting the sound-generating member 40 is clamped between the washer 34 and the step portion 8c of the reel shaft 8. The sound-generating member 40 includes a metal support portion 41 and a metal pawl spring 42 supported by the support portion 41.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the support portion 41 has four hooks 41a extending to the left and right sides. The ratchet spring 42 is a thin plate-shaped member made of metal and has elasticity. The ratchet spring 42 is generally U-shaped when viewed from the front, and has a protrusion 44 protruding to the left (radially outward). The top of the protrusion 44 is a curved surface. The protrusion 44 is arranged between the hooks 41a, 41a on the left side. In addition, the two end portions 45, 45 of the ratchet spring 42 are locked with the hooks 41a, 41a on the right side.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, a support wall 12 and a middle wall 13 are formed on the inner side of the reel body 11 as a structure for holding the reel body 11 on the retaining member 30. The support wall 12 is generally in the shape of a circular plate, and integrally extends from the inner surface of the fishing line winding main body 10c toward the radial inner side. The middle wall 13 is in the shape of a cylinder, and integrally extends from the extended end of the support wall 12 toward the rear. A sounding body 20 is mounted on the rear part of the middle wall 13 by a screw structure described later. In addition, a storage device T (see Figure 1 ) of the cylindrical drag receiving portion 18 (refer to Figure 4 The drag device T is a device that applies braking force to the pulled fishing line when a fish is caught during actual fishing. Figure 1 ) can be adjusted to apply the desired braking force to the reel 10 rotatably held on the reel shaft 8.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the middle wall 13 and the central axis О1 of the reel body 11 are formed in a concentric circle shape, and as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a through hole 19 is formed inside the through hole 19 through which a part of the holding member 30 and the front end portion 8b of the spool shaft 8 pass.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the middle wall 13 includes a large diameter portion 13a continuous with the support wall 12 and a small diameter portion 14 continuous with the rear side of the large diameter portion 13a. A step portion 16 is formed on the outer surface of the middle wall 13 at the boundary between the large diameter portion 13a and the small diameter portion 14 (see FIG. Figure 4 ).

[0045] On the inner circumferential surface of the large diameter portion 13a, an annular partition wall 15 is protruded to separate the inner circumferential surface of the large diameter portion 13a from front to back. On the front side of the partition wall 15, a front bearing 18a composed of a bearing is embedded in the inner circumferential surface of the large diameter portion 13a. The front bearing 18a is locked and retained by the anti-slip component 13b and the partition wall 15 on the inner circumferential surface of the large diameter portion 13a. The inner ring of the front bearing 18a is mounted on the front outer circumferential surface of the base 31a of the retaining member 30. In addition, the rear side of the partition wall 15 is in contact with the front side of the flange portion 31b of the retaining member 30 through two washers 35.

[0046] The front bearing 18a and the rear bearing 18b are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction between the holding member 30 and the middle wall 13. Thus, the reel body 11 is stably held on the tip end 8b of the reel shaft 8 by the two front and rear bearings 18a and 18b.

[0047] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the small diameter portion 14 is a portion for mounting the sounding body 20. On the outer peripheral surface of the rear portion of the small diameter portion 14, an external threaded portion 14a that functions as a threaded portion of a screw structure is formed. The external threaded portion 14a is formed concentrically with the through hole 19 when viewed from the axial direction of the through hole 19. In other words, the external threaded portion 14a is arranged on a concentric circle with a circle centered on the central axis О1 of the reel. In addition, in the present embodiment, the sounding body 20 is screwed onto the small diameter portion 14, but they can also be combined by press-fitting. On the other hand, on the inner peripheral surface of the rear portion of the small diameter portion 14, an outer ring of the rear bearing 18b that is externally embedded on the side of the retaining component 30 is installed.

[0048] The sounding body 20 is a cylindrical component that is mounted on the middle wall 13 of the reel body 11 by a screw structure. The entirety of the sounding body 20 is formed of a resin, such as a fiber-reinforced resin containing carbon fiber or glass fiber. That is, it has a hardness difference with respect to the pawl spring 42 as a sounding component. By engaging the sounding body 20 with the sounding component 40 (pawl spring 42), a reel sounding mechanism can be formed.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the sound-generating body 20 includes: an annular bottom wall 21; an inner peripheral wall 22 extending rearward from a radially inner portion of the bottom wall 21; and an outer peripheral wall 23 arranged at intervals radially outward from the inner peripheral wall 22 and extending rearward from a radially outer portion of the bottom wall 21. The sound-generating body 20 includes a concave portion (concave annular space portion) 25 surrounded by the bottom wall 21, the inner peripheral wall 22, and the outer peripheral wall 23. Figure 4 As shown, the concave portion 25 opens rearward in a ring shape.

[0050] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, an internal thread portion 22a functioning as a screw thread portion of a screw structure is formed on the entire inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 22. The internal thread portion 22a can be screwed into the external thread portion 14a of the middle wall 13.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 2 , a ratchet groove 24 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 23. The protrusion 44 of the pawl spring 42 elastically abuts against the ratchet groove 24. Figure 5 As shown, the ratchet groove 24 is composed of convex portions 51 and concave portions 61 alternately formed on the entire circumference of the inner circumference of the outer peripheral wall 23. The concave portion 61 is formed to be concave in the radially outward direction. The portion formed between the adjacent concave portions 61, 61 becomes the convex portion 51. The concave portion 61 has a first surface 62 and a second surface 63. With respect to the concave portion 61, the corner portion that intersects with the convex portion 51 on one side is used as a first top portion 64. In addition, with respect to the concave portion 61, the corner portion that intersects with the convex portion 51 on the other side is used as a second top portion 65. In addition, in the concave portion 61, the distance from the center axis О1 (refer to Figure 4 ) is the farthest position as the deepest part 66. In addition, the boundary between the first surface 62 and the second surface 63 is represented by an imaginary line 67.

[0052] With the deepest portion 66 as a boundary, one side of the circumferential direction is referred to as the P direction and the other side is referred to as the Q direction. The P direction refers to the direction in which the spool 10 rotates when a fish is caught and the fishing line is released during actual fishing. The second surface 63 is formed in the concave portion 61 in the Q direction (the opposite side to the direction in which the spool 10 rotates when the fishing line is released).

[0053] The first surface 62 is a curved surface (arc-shaped surface) that is continuous from the first top 64 to the imaginary line 67. On the other hand, the second surface 63 is an inclined surface that is continuous from the imaginary line 67 to the second top 65. The distance L2 from the second top 65 to the deepest part 66 is longer than the distance L1 from the first top 64 to the deepest part 66. That is, the deepest part 66 is located closer to the first top 64 side (P direction side) than the center in the width direction of the recess 61. As a result, the shape of the recess 61 is left-right asymmetric.

[0054] In addition, the first surface 62 can be an inclined surface, and the second surface 63 can be a curved surface (arc-shaped surface) on the premise of satisfying the above-mentioned distances L1 and L2. In addition, the first surface 62 and the second surface 63 can be both curved surfaces, or both inclined surfaces on the premise of satisfying the above-mentioned distances L1 and L2.

[0055] like Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown in FIG. 1 , the rear end of the outer peripheral wall 23 protrudes further rearward than the rear end of the inner peripheral wall 22, and is arranged in the area inside the skirt 10a by using the space formed between the outer peripheral wall 23 and the cylindrical portion 2a of the rear rotor 2. As a result, the area of ​​the concave portion 25 surrounded by the outer peripheral wall 23 is expanded toward the rear. This helps to improve the sound generation effect. In addition, the rear end of the outer peripheral wall 23 is expanded in diameter to a tapered shape, which can function as a guide portion for the pawl spring 42 during installation.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, a gap S1 is formed between the fishing line winding main body 10c and the skirt 10a (line holding portion 10s) of the spool body 11 on the radially outer side of the outer peripheral wall 23. The gap S1 functions as a finger insertion portion when the sounding body 20 is attached to the spool body 11 and when it is removed. In addition, the sound of the sounding body 20 is easily resounded by the gap S1.

[0057] When installing the sounding body 20 on the reel body 11, the sounding body 20 is inserted from the rear of the reel body 11 to the inner side of the skirt 10a, the inner peripheral wall 22 of the sounding body 20 is aligned with the small diameter portion 14 of the middle wall 13 of the reel body 11, and the sounding body 20 is rotated in the screwing direction. As a result, the internal thread portion 22a is screwed with the external thread portion 14a, and the sounding body 20 can be installed on the reel body 11 (middle wall 13). The bottom wall 21 of the sounding body 20 abuts against the step portion 16 of the middle wall 13 by screwing, and the sounding body 20 can be crimped and fixed to the middle wall 13 by this abutment. Since the bottom wall 21 of the sounding body 20 abuts against the step portion 16, it is possible to prevent the sounding body 20 from being damaged due to over-tightening. In addition, after installation, the sounding body 20 can be removed from the reel body 11 by releasing the screwing.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, when the sounding body 20 is installed on the reel body 11, from the axis of the through hole 19 (the central axis О1 of the reel body 11) toward the radial outside, the rear bearing 18b, the sounding body 20, and the outer diameter portion of the reel body 11 (the fishing line winding main body 10c or the skirt 10a) are arranged in sequence.

[0059] Next, the operation of the reel sound generating mechanism will be described while comparing the comparative example with the embodiment. Figure 6 This is a comparison table comparing the working states of the comparative example and the embodiment with respect to the reel sounding mechanism. Figure 6The upper layer shows a comparative example (the form of patent document 1), and the lower layer shows an embodiment (an embodiment of the present invention). Each figure shows the engagement state as the reel rotation angle increases by 1° from left to right. The deformation amount D shown in the figure represents the deformation amount of the protrusion 44. The deformation amount D represents the distance from the position of the top of the protrusion 44 when the reel rotation angle is 0° to the top of the protrusion 44 (the movement distance in the radial outer direction). When the fishing line is released, the pawl spring 42 does not rotate, but the sound is emitted by the rotation of the sound-emitting body 20 (reel 10).

[0060] Figure 7 It is an enlarged view showing a comparative example when the roll rotation angle is 0°. Figure 8 4 is an enlarged view showing a comparative example when the roll rotation angle is 4°. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the ratchet groove of the comparative example is composed of convex parts 71 and concave parts 81 alternately formed in the circumferential direction of the inner circumferential surface. The shape of the concave part 81 is bilaterally symmetrical, forming a semicircular curved surface. The boundary between the concave part 81 and the adjacent convex part 71 is respectively defined as the first top 84 and the second top 85. The center line of the width direction of the concave part 81 is defined as the center line V1.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, when the reel rotation angle of the comparative example is 0°, the center line of the width direction of the protrusion 44 of the pawl spring 42, i.e., the center line 44a, is located on the center line V1 of the recess 81. At this moment, the protrusion 44 is embedded in the deepest state of the recess 81. In addition, since the curvature of the recess 81 is larger than the curvature of the top of the protrusion 44, the deepest part 86 of the recess 81 will not contact the protrusion 44, and the protrusion 44 will abut against both the first top 84 and the second top 85 (point contact). As shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the roll rotation angle is 1 to 3°, the protrusion 44 slides while contacting the second top portion 85. Then, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, when the roll rotation angle is 4°, the center line 44a of the protrusion 44 is located near the second top 85 of the recess 81, and the deformation amount D is 0.25 mm.

[0062] Fig. 9 This is an enlarged view showing an embodiment when the roll rotation angle is 0°. Fig.10 4 is an enlarged view showing an embodiment when the roll rotation angle is 4°. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in the embodiment, the deepest part 66 is eccentric as described above, so the shape of the concave part 61 is asymmetric, and has a curved first surface 62 and an inclined second surface 63. The curvature radius of the first surface 62 is greater than Figure 7The curvature radius of the recess 81 of the comparative example shown is smaller. The depth dimension of the deepest portion 66 of the recess 61 is the same or substantially the same as the depth dimension of the deepest portion 86 of the recess 81. The center line of the width direction of the recess 61 is referred to as the center line V2.

[0063] When the reel rotation angle of the embodiment is 0°, the center line 44a of the protrusion 44 of the pawl spring 42 is located on the center line V2 of the recess 61. At this moment, the protrusion 44 is embedded in the deepest state of the recess 81. In addition, at this moment, the protrusion 44 does not contact the deepest part 66 and the second top 65, but contacts the first top 64 and the second surface 63. The center line 44a of the protrusion 44 is located on the Q direction side than the deepest part 66. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the roll rotation angle is 1 to 3°, the protrusion 44 slides along the second surface 63. Then, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown in the figure, when the roll rotation angle is 4°, the center line 44a of the protrusion 44 is located near the second top 65 of the recess 61, and the deformation D is 0.19 mm. Although the specific illustration is omitted, in the embodiment, when the roll rotation angle is 7°, the deformation D is 0.25 mm. In addition, when the roll 10 rotates, the protrusion 44 falls from the first top 64 of the adjacent recess 61 into the recess 61 and becomes 0° (when a part of the protrusion 44 hits the second surface 63), a clicking sound is emitted.

[0064] According to the present embodiment described above, since the distance L2 of the recessed portion 61 is longer than the distance L1, the protrusion 44 of the pawl spring 42 can smoothly move from the second surface 63, which is the Q-direction side, to the second top portion 65. In other words, compared with the comparative example, the moving distance of the protrusion 44 in the radially outer direction relative to the spool rotation angle becomes shorter, and the deformation amount of the pawl spring 42 also becomes smaller. As a result, the resistance during the deceleration operation can be reduced.

[0065] Furthermore, by providing a depth in the radially outer direction on the first surface 62 side, it is possible to ensure a sound space (space surrounded by the recessed portion 61 and the protruding portion 44) required for sound generation. Thus, it is possible to generate a good sound with a sense of precision while reducing the resistance during the release action. Furthermore, since the protruding portion 44 of the pawl spring 42 moves smoothly on the second surface 63 side, it is possible to prevent wear of the sliding parts, especially the second surface 63 and the second top portion 65. Thus, it is possible to prevent wear of the ratchet groove 24 and to prevent a reduction in the sound generation performance.

[0066] In addition, although the second surface 63 may be a curved surface, by forming an inclined surface, the protrusion 44 of the click spring 42 can move from the second surface 63 to the second top portion 65 more smoothly.

[0067] In addition, since the pawl spring 42 is provided, and the pawl spring 42 has the protrusion 44 protruding in the radially outer direction, it is easy to engage with the ratchet groove 24, so that the sound generation performance can be further improved. In addition, the curvature radius of the first surface 62 and the inclination angle of the second surface 63 can be appropriately set on the premise of satisfying the distances L1 and L2. As a result, the number of nodes (the number of recessed portions 61) of the ratchet groove 24 can be designed to be the same as before, and the sound generation performance or the main force release performance can be made the same as before.

[0068] In addition, as in this embodiment, by using the space behind the drum 10 that can be enlarged in diameter to arrange the sounding body 20, the number of nodes of the ratchet groove 24 can be increased. As a result, the pitch of sound generated by the rotation of the drum 10 can be narrowed, and a precise sound can be generated.

[0069] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, appropriate design changes may be made within the scope that does not violate the purpose of the present invention. For example, the reel body 11 and the sounding body 20 may be either integral or separate. The sounding body 20 may also be provided at other locations as long as it is the inner circumferential surface of the reel body 11. In addition, although the boundary between the first surface 62 and the second surface 63 (refer to the imaginary line 67) is set at a position closer to the Q direction side than the deepest portion 66 in the aforementioned present embodiment, it may also be set at a position overlapping with the deepest portion 66, and may also be set at a position closer to the P direction side than the deepest portion 66.
