[0005] Patent document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2021-122176. Summary of the invention

[0006] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] However, in the fishing spinning reel described in Patent Document 1, if the drag washer of the drag mechanism is arranged inside the reel body, the heat generated by the dragging action will increase the temperature, and there is a risk that the fishing line wound around the reel body will deteriorate due to the heat.

[0008] Furthermore, in the conventional case, the inner space of the reel body is narrow, so the outer diameter of the drag washer is limited, and the surface pressure is increased, which causes a problem in durability.

[0009] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing spinning reel that can prevent degradation of a fishing line due to heat generated during a dragging operation and can improve the durability of a drag washer.

[0010] Means used to solve problems

[0011] (1) A first embodiment of a spinning reel for fishing according to the present invention is characterized in that it is a spinning reel for fishing having a reel body capable of releasing a fishing line forward, and comprises: a spool shaft movably disposed on the reel body; a reel having a reel trunk portion around which the fishing line is wound and rotatably supported on the reel shaft; and a first drag device having a first drag washer disposed forward of the reel trunk portion and braking the rotation of the reel.

[0012] According to the first embodiment of the fishing spinning reel of the present invention, the first drag device having the first drag washer is provided at a position further forward than the front end of the reel body of the spool, thereby the outer diameter of the first drag washer can be set larger than the conventional case where the drag device is provided at the inner side of the reel body. Therefore, the drag contact area of ​​the first drag washer can be enlarged, and the surface pressure on the first drag washer can be suppressed to be small, so that the drag durability can be improved.

[0013] In addition, in the present invention, by arranging the first drag device at a position farther forward than the reel body 41, it is possible to suppress the degradation of the fishing line wound around the reel body due to the heat generated by the dragging action. Furthermore, since the heat generated by the reel body due to the dragging action can be suppressed, the wall thickness of the reel body is set thicker in consideration of heat conduction in the past, but in the present invention, the wall thickness of the reel body can be set thinner than in the past, and as a result, the weight of the reel can be reduced.

[0014] (2) According to aspect 2 of the present invention, in the fishing spinning reel of aspect 1, it is preferred that the first drag washer is disposed on a front end surface of the spool body.

[0015] In this case, since the first drag washer is disposed on the front end surface of the spool body, it is easier to dissipate heat generated by the dragging action than when the drag washer is disposed in a space where heat is accumulated such as the inside of the spool body, thereby reducing deterioration of the fishing line.

[0016] Furthermore, in the present invention, since the first drag washer can be held by utilizing the space in front of the spool body, the holding structure of the first drag washer can be simplified compared to the case where the drag washer is arranged inside the spool body, and the weight of the spool can be reduced.

[0017] (3) In aspect 3 of the present invention, in the spinning reel for fishing of aspect 1 or aspect 2, it is preferred that the spinning reel further comprises a second drag device having a second drag washer disposed rearward of the reel body and braking the rotation of the spool.

[0018] In this case, the first drag device and the second drag device can be respectively arranged at the front and rear positions of the winding body of the spool, so that the first drag washer and the second drag washer with larger outer diameters can be used. Therefore, the drag contact area between the first drag washer and the second drag washer can be expanded, so that the surface pressure on the first drag washer and the second drag washer can be suppressed to a small level, thereby improving the drag durability.

[0019] (4) A fourth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the fishing spinning reel of the third aspect, there is further provided a drag knob for adjusting a pressing force applied to at least one of the first drag washer and the second drag washer.

[0020] In this case, the pushing force of at least one of the first drag washer and the second drag washer can be adjusted by the drag knob.

[0021] (5) A fifth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the fishing spinning reel of the third aspect or the fourth aspect, there is a drag knob that adjusts the pushing force on the first drag washer and the second drag washer simultaneously.

[0022] In this case, the pushing force of simultaneously pushing both the first drag washer and the second drag washer can be adjusted by the drag knob.

[0023] Effects of the Invention

[0024] According to the spinning reel for fishing of the present invention, it is possible to suppress a decrease in braking force after long-term use, and to automatically apply braking when the rotor rotates in the reverse direction at high speed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] The main gear shaft 71 is formed integrally with the main gear 72 and is rotatably supported on the reel body 11. The pinion gear 73 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The front portion of the pinion gear 73 extends toward the reel 4 side in front of the rotor 3 X1. Moreover, the front portion of the pinion gear 73 is fixed to the rotor 3 by a nut 74 so as to be rotatable together with the rotor 3. The rear portion and the middle portion of the pinion gear 73 are rotatably supported on the reel body 11 by bearings, respectively.

[0046] The swing mechanism 8 is a traverse cam type swing mechanism and includes a screw shaft 81 rotatably mounted on the reel body 11 about an axis parallel to the spool shaft 40 and a slider 82 that moves forward and backward as the screw shaft 81 rotates.

[0047] (Rotor)

[0048] The rotor 3 is rotatably supported on the reel body 10. The rotor 3 includes: a rotor body 31; a pair of bail arms 32A and bail arms 32B, which are mounted on the front end of the rotor body 31 so as to be swingable between a fishing line releasing posture and a fishing line winding posture; and a bail reversing mechanism 33, which is mounted on the rotor body 31 and is used to restore the bail arms 32A and bail arms 32B from the fishing line releasing posture to the fishing line winding posture.

[0049] The rotor body 31 has a cylindrical portion 310, which is rotatably mounted on the reel body 11 around the spool shaft 40. A pair of guide ring arms 32A and 32B are disposed on the sides of the cylindrical portion 310 opposite to each other. The cylindrical portion 310 and the guide ring arms 32A and 32B are made of, for example, aluminum alloy and are integrally formed. A guide ring (not shown) is fixed between the front ends of the guide ring arms 32A and 32B disposed opposite to each other, and the guide ring guides the fishing line to the spool 4, and the guide ring is shaped so that the wire is bent in a roughly U shape.

[0050] A front wall 313 is formed at the front portion of the cylindrical portion 310. A through hole is formed at the center portion of the front wall 313, and the spool shaft 40 penetrates the through hole.

[0051] (reel)

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the reel 4 is arranged with Figure 1 The pair of guide ring arms 32A and 32B of the rotor 3 shown in the figure are arranged in front of the rotor 3 so as to be movable in the axial direction X (front-rear direction). The reel 4 is mounted on the front end of the reel shaft 40 via the towing device 5A and the towing device 5B. The reel 4 is moved by the swing mechanism 8 (see Figure 1 ), together with the reel shaft 40, moves back and forth in the axial direction X.

[0053] The spool 4 includes a winding body 41 around which a fishing line is wound, a pair of flanges 42A and 42B integrally formed at front and rear ends of the winding body 41 , and a tubular skirt 43 .

[0054] The fishing line is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the reel body 41. A first bearing 44A is arranged on the front inner surface 41a inside the reel body 41, and a second bearing 44B is arranged on the rear inner surface 41b. The first bearing 44A is arranged between the reel body 41 and a washer (to be described later) of the first towing device 5A. The second bearing 44B is arranged between the reel body 41 and a support portion (to be described later) of the second towing device 5B. The reel body 41 is rotatably supported by the towing device 5A and a part of the towing device 5B via the first bearing 44A and the second bearing 44B. Among them, the washer of the first towing device 5A and the support portion of the second towing device 5B are locked to the reel shaft 40 in a manner that they cannot rotate relative to the reel shaft 40, so the reel body 41 is rotatably supported by the reel shaft 40 via the first bearing 44A and the second bearing 44B.

[0055] A pair of flanges 42A and 42B are provided at both front and rear ends of the winding trunk 41. The pair of flanges 42A and 42B are formed in annular shapes. Of the pair of flanges 42A and 42B, one located at the front side is the front flange 42A, and the other located at the rear side is the rear flange 42B. The front flange 42A and the rear flange 42B are formed integrally with the winding trunk 41.

[0056] A cylindrical front towing mounting portion 421 is integrally formed on the front surface 42a of the front flange portion 42A. The front towing mounting portion 421 is arranged at the radial center of the front flange portion 42A. The front flange portion 42A and the front towing mounting portion 421 form a first storage recess 45A. The first storage recess 45A opens to the front X1 and stores the first towing device 5A.

[0057] A cylindrical rear towing mounting portion 422 is integrally formed on the rear surface 42b of the rear flange portion 42B. The rear towing mounting portion 422 is arranged on the inner side of the skirt portion 43 at a distance from the skirt portion 43. An external thread portion 422b is formed on the outer peripheral surface 422a of the rear towing mounting portion 422. The rear flange portion 42B and the rear towing mounting portion 422 form a second housing recess 45B. The second housing recess 45B opens to the rear X2 and houses the second towing device 5B.

[0058] The skirt portion 43 is provided integrally with the rear flange portion 42B and is a portion extending from the outer peripheral end of the rear flange portion 42B toward the rear X2. The skirt portion 43 is formed in a cylindrical shape.

[0059] (Reel shaft)

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the reel shaft 40 is a shaft member made of a stainless steel alloy, and its front end portion 40a is connected to the reel 4 via the towing device 5A and the towing device 5B, and the slider 82 of the swing mechanism 8 is fixed to the rear end portion. The reel shaft 40 is arranged in a manner that it can move freely in the axial direction X (front-rear direction) relative to the reel body 10 through the swing mechanism 8. In addition, the reel shaft 40 moves together with the reel 4 in the axial direction X through the towing device 5A and the towing device 5B. The reel shaft 40 passes through the inner periphery of the pinion gear 73, and the reel 4 is rotatably supported on the outer periphery of the reel shaft 40 that is closer to the front X1 than the cylindrical portion 310 of the rotor body 31 by a pair of first bearings 44A and second bearings 44B. The front end portion 40a of the reel shaft 40 is formed into a substantially elliptical shape (non-circular shape) whose outer shape is not circular.

[0061] (Drag mechanism)

[0062] like Figure 2As shown, the drag mechanism 5 is a mechanism for braking the rotation of the spool 4. The drag device 5A and the drag device 5B are arranged at the front X1 and rear X2 of the winding body 41 of the spool 4. That is, the first drag device 5A is arranged at the front X1 of the front flange portion 42A. The second drag device 5B is arranged at the rear X2 of the rear flange portion 42B. The drag mechanism 5 includes a first drag device 5A, a second drag device 5B, and a drag adjustment mechanism 6. The first drag device 5A and the second drag device 5B are mounted on the spool shaft 40 in a manner that they cannot rotate relative to the spool shaft 40.

[0063] (First towing device)

[0064] The first drag device 5A includes a plurality of (two in this case) first drag washers 51 (51A, 51B) disposed at a position X1 in front of the reel body 41. The first drag washer 51 is disposed on the front end surface (the front surface 42a of the front flange 42A) of the reel body 41. The first drag washer 51 includes a stepped drag washer 51A located at the front side and a flat plate drag washer 51B. The first drag washer 51 generates a drag force by the relative rotation of the stepped drag washer 51A and the flat plate drag washer 51B.

[0065] The stepped drag washer 51A is mounted on the spool shaft 40 so as to be movable together with the spool shaft 40 in the axial direction X. The stepped drag washer 51A has a cylindrical first bearing mounting portion 511, a friction portion 512 located in front of the outer peripheral side of the first bearing mounting portion 511, and a stepped portion 513 connecting the first bearing mounting portion 511 and the friction portion 512.

[0066] The first bearing mounting portion 511 is mounted on the spool shaft 40 in a non-rotatable manner and supports the inner ring of the first bearing 44A. The cross-sectional shape of the first bearing mounting portion 511 is formed into a substantially elliptical (non-circular) cross-sectional shape corresponding to the outer shape of the front end portion 40a of the spool shaft 40. The rear portion of the first bearing mounting portion 511 and the step portion 513 of the step drag washer 51A is arranged on the inner side of the winding body 41, and the front portion of the friction portion 512 and the step portion 513 is arranged in front of the front flange portion 42A X1.

[0067] The step portion 513 extends radially outward from the front end of the first bearing mounting portion 511 and further bends forward X1 to form a step shape. A housing recess 513a opening forward X1 is formed inside the step portion 513. A portion of the drag adjustment mechanism 6 is housed in the housing recess 513a.

[0068] The outer diameter of the stepped drag washer 51A is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the front drag mounting portion 421. That is, the stepped drag washer 51A is set to a diameter dimension larger than the inner diameter of the winding body 41 of the spool 4 and to such an extent that the outer peripheral portion of the friction portion 512 does not contact the inner surface 421a of the front drag mounting portion 421. The friction portion 512 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the first housing recess 45A formed at the front X1 of the front flange portion 42A.

[0069] The flat drag washer 51B is sandwiched between the friction portion 512 of the stepped drag washer 51A and the front surface 42a of the front flange portion 42A. The flat drag washer 51B is in a disk shape and has a hole 51a at the center. The stepped portion 513 of the stepped drag washer 51A is inserted through the hole 51a.

[0070] (Second towing device)

[0071] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second towing device 5B includes a support portion 52, a restriction portion 53, and a second towing washer 54. The support portion 52 is mounted on the spool shaft 40 so as to be movable in the axial direction X together with the spool shaft 40. The support portion 52 includes a cylindrical second bearing mounting portion 521 and a restriction portion mounting portion 522 located on the outer peripheral side of the second bearing mounting portion 521. The second bearing mounting portion 521 is mounted on the spool shaft 40 in a non-rotatable manner and supports the inner ring of the second bearing 44B. The restriction portion 53 is fixed to the rear surface of the restriction portion mounting portion 522 by a fixing bolt 523.

[0072] The limiting portion 53 limits the rotation of the support portion 52 relative to the reel shaft 40. The limiting portion 53 is fixed to the rear surface of the limiting portion mounting portion 522 of the support portion 52 by a fixing bolt 523. The limiting portion 53 is mounted on the reel shaft 40 in a manner that is non-rotatable relative to the reel shaft 40. The limiting portion 53 is in the shape of a circular plate, and a hole portion 53a is provided in the center. By engaging the reel shaft 40 in the hole portion 53a in a non-circular engaging manner, the limiting portion 53 is fixed to the reel shaft 40 in a manner that is non-rotatable. The support portion 52 is fixed to the reel shaft 40 via the limiting portion 53 in a manner that is non-rotatable relative to the reel shaft 40.

[0073] The restriction portion 53 holds the friction portion of the second drag device 5B (the second drag washer 54 described below) between the restriction portion 53 and the rear surface 42b of the rear flange portion 42B along the axial direction X. Specifically, the restriction portion 53 is fixed to the support portion 52 via the heat sink 15. With such a structure, the movement of the second drag washer 54 to the rear X2 is restricted.

[0074] A plurality of (here, four) second drag washers 54 are provided at a position X2 further rearward than the winding trunk portion 41. The second drag washers 54 are arranged on the rear end surface (the rear surface 42b of the rear flange portion 42B) of the winding trunk portion 41. The second drag washers 54 are arranged alternately with large-diameter flat-plate drag washers 54A, 54B and small-diameter flat-plate drag washers 54C, 54D in the order from the front side to the rear side in the axial direction X. These flat-plate drag washers 54A, 54B, 54C, 54D are accommodated in the second accommodation recess 45B of the spool 4. The flat-plate drag washers 54A, 54B, 54C, 54D are clamped between the restriction portion 53 and the rear surface 42b of the rear flange portion 42B. The second drag washer 54 generates a drag force by the relative rotation of the flat-plate drag washers 54A, 54B, 54C, 54D.

[0075] The flat drag washers 54A, 54B, 54C, and 54D are each in the shape of a circular plate, and a hole 54a is provided in the center. The restriction portion mounting portion 522 of the support portion 52 is provided in the hole 54a in a non-circular engagement manner. The flat drag washers 54A, 54B, 54C, and 54D are mounted on the support portion 52 in a manner that is non-rotatable relative to the support portion 52. If the first drag washer 51 is pressed backward X2, the second drag washer 54 is pushed along the axial direction X between it and the restriction portion 53 via the reel 4.

[0076] (Drag adjustment mechanism)

[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drag adjustment mechanism 6 is mounted on the front end portion 40a of the spool shaft 40. The drag adjustment mechanism 6 includes: a nut member 61, which is screwed into the external thread 40b of the front end portion 40a of the spool shaft 40; a drag knob 62, which is rotatably supported on the spool shaft 40 and is fitted into the nut member 61 in a manner that it cannot rotate relative to the nut member 61 and can move freely in the axial direction X; a coil spring 63, which applies a pushing force to the first drag washer 51 of the first drag device 5A; and a pushing portion 64, which accommodates the coil spring 63.

[0078] The push portion 64 is a bottomed cylindrical member that opens to the front X1. The rear portion of the push portion 64 is accommodated in the storage recess 513a of the step drag washer 51A. The coil spring 63 is accommodated inside the push portion 64. A through hole 64b that penetrates in the front-to-back direction is formed at the bottom 64a of the push portion 64, and the front end 40a of the spool shaft 40 is inserted into the through hole 64b. The shape of the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 64b is formed in a shape that corresponds to the outer shape of the front end 40a of the spool shaft 40, and the cross-sectional shape is a substantially elliptical shape (non-circular shape).

[0079] The inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the cylindrical portion 64 c of the pressing portion 64 are formed in a substantially circular shape. The pressing portion 64 is relatively rotatable with respect to the drag knob 62 and is relatively movable in the axial direction X.

[0080] The drag knob 62 is a component that adjusts both the pushing force applied to the first drag washer 51 and the second drag washer 54. The drag knob 62 is fitted to the nut component 61 in a manner that it cannot rotate relative to the nut component 61, and is provided in a manner that it can move freely in the axial direction X together with the nut component 61. A thumb portion (not shown) for the angler to grasp is formed at the front of the drag knob 62. When the angler grasps the thumb portion and rotates the drag knob 62, the nut component 61 rotates together with the drag knob 62, so that the nut component 61 moves forward X1 or backward X2.

[0081] The coil spring 63 is disposed between the bottom 64a of the pressing portion 64 and the nut member 61. The coil spring 63 is assembled in a state of being contracted in the axial direction X. Therefore, the pressing portion 64 is always biased by the coil spring 63 to move in the rearward direction X2.

[0082] It should be noted that when the rotation operation of the drag knob 62 is performed to move the nut member 61 in the rearward direction X2, the biasing force of the coil spring 63 (the pressing force applied to the pressing portion 64) increases.

[0083] On the other hand, when the rotation operation of the drag knob 62 is performed to move the nut member 61 in the front direction X1, the biasing force of the coil spring 63 (the pressing force applied to the pressing portion 64) decreases.

[0084] In the present embodiment, when the force of the coil spring 63 acts on the first drag washer 51 and the second drag washer 54 via the pressing portion 64 by the rotation operation of the drag knob 62, that is, when the first drag washer 51 and the second drag washer 54 are pressed in the axial direction X to generate a drag force (braking force), a gap S is formed between the support portion 52 and the rear surface 42b of the rear flange portion 42B of the spool 4. Therefore, by the rotation operation of the drag knob 62, the pressing portion 64 can be moved to the rear X2 to apply a pressing force corresponding to the size of the gap S to the first drag device 5A and the second drag device 5B. The size of the gap S corresponds to the range (prescribed range) of the braking force that can be adjusted by the drag adjustment mechanism 6.

[0085] In addition, if the push portion 64 is moved to the rear X2 by the rotation operation of the drag knob 62 to close the gap S, the rear surface 42b of the rear flange portion 42B of the reel 4 abuts against the support portion 52, thereby limiting the movement of the push portion 64 to the rear X2. Therefore, even if the drag knob 62 is continuously rotated, it is possible to prevent the first drag device 5A and the second drag device 5B from being given a pushing force, thereby limiting the generation of a drag force exceeding a prescribed range. In this way, it is possible to configure such that a drag force within a prescribed range is generated by adjusting the relative positional relationship between the support portion 52 and the rear surface 42b of the rear flange portion 42B (the size of the gap S).

[0086] Next, the operation of the fishing spinning reel 1 configured as above will be described in detail based on the drawings.

[0087] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the spinning reel 1 for fishing of the present embodiment comprises: a spool shaft 40, which is movably arranged on the reel body 10; a spool 4, which has a spool body 41 for winding the fishing line and is rotatably supported on the spool shaft 40; and a first drag device 5A, which has a first drag washer 51 arranged at a position X1 further forward than the spool body 41 and brakes the rotation of the spool 4.

[0088] By configuring in this way, the first drag device 5A having the first drag washer 51 is provided at a position X1 further forward than the front end surface of the winding trunk portion 41 of the spool 4, and thus the outer diameter of the first drag washer 51 can be set larger than the conventional case where the drag device is provided inside the winding trunk portion 41. Therefore, the drag contact area of ​​the first drag washer 51 can be increased, and the surface pressure on the first drag washer 51 can be suppressed to be small, so that the drag durability can be improved.

[0089] In addition, in the present embodiment, by arranging the first drag device 5A at a position X1 away from the spool body 41 in the front direction, it is possible to suppress the degradation of the fishing line wound around the spool body 41 due to the heat generated by the dragging action. Furthermore, since the heat generated by the spool body 41 due to the dragging action can be suppressed in this way, the wall thickness of the spool body 41 is set thicker in consideration of heat conduction in the past, but in the present invention, the wall thickness of the spool body 41 can be set thinner than in the past, and as a result, the overall weight of the spool 4 can be reduced.

[0090] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the first drag washer 51 is disposed on the front end surface of the reel trunk 41, it is easier to dissipate the heat generated by the dragging action than in a case where the drag washer is disposed in a space where heat is accumulated such as the inner side of the reel trunk 41, thereby reducing the deterioration of the fishing line.

[0091] In addition, in this embodiment, the first drag washer 51 can be held by utilizing the space X1 in front of the winding trunk 41. Therefore, compared with the case where the drag washer is arranged on the inner side of the winding trunk 41, the holding structure of the first drag washer 51 can be simplified and the weight of the spool 4 can be reduced.

[0092] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the second drag device 5B is provided, and the second drag device 5B has a second drag washer 54 disposed at a position X2 further rearward than the winding trunk portion 41, and brakes the rotation of the spool 4. Therefore, the first drag device 5A and the second drag device 5B can be respectively disposed at the positions X1 in front of and X2 behind the winding trunk portion 41 of the spool 4, so that the first drag washer 51 and the second drag washer 54 having a larger outer diameter can be used. Therefore, the drag contact area of ​​the first drag washer 51 and the second drag washer 54 can be expanded, so that the surface pressure on the first drag washer 51 and the second drag washer 54 can be suppressed to be small, and thus the drag durability can be improved.

[0093] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there is a drag knob 62 for adjusting the pressing force on at least one of the first drag washer 51 and the second drag washer 54 (the first drag washer 51 in this embodiment). Thus, the pushing force on at least one of the first drag washer 51 and the second drag washer 54 can be adjusted by the drag knob 62.

[0094] In the spinning reel 1 for fishing of the present embodiment configured as described above, it is possible to prevent the degradation of the fishing line due to heat generated during the dragging operation, and to improve the durability of the dragging washer.

[0095] Next, another embodiment of the spinning reel for fishing of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the same reference numerals are given to components having the same functions as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted because of duplication.

[0096] (Second Embodiment)

[0097] like Figure 4As shown, the first drag device 5C of the drag mechanism 5 in the fishing spinning reel 1A of the second embodiment includes a plurality of (here, two) first drag washers 51 (51C, 51D) disposed at a position X1 further forward than the reel body 41. The first drag washers 51C and 51D are disposed on the front end surface (the front surface 42a of the front flange 42A) of the reel body 41. The first drag washer 51 includes a first flat drag washer 51C located at the front side, and a second flat drag washer 51D sandwiched between the first flat drag washer 51C and the front surface 42a of the front flange 42A. The first drag washer 51 generates a drag force by the relative rotation of the first flat drag washer 51C and the second flat drag washer 51D.

[0098] The first flat drag washer 51C is mounted on the reel shaft 40 in a manner that it can move in the axial direction X together with the reel shaft 40. The first flat drag washer 51C has a friction portion 514 on the outer peripheral side. The first flat drag washer 51C is formed with a snap-fit ​​portion 515 in the central portion, and the snap-fit ​​portion 515 is mounted on the reel shaft 40 in a non-rotatable manner. The cross-sectional shape of the snap-fit ​​portion 515 is formed into a shape that corresponds to the outer shape of the front end portion 40a of the reel shaft 40, and the cross-sectional shape is a substantially elliptical shape (non-circular shape). The bottom 64a of the pushing portion 64 of the drag adjustment mechanism 6 abuts against the radially inner front surface 51b of the first flat drag washer 51C from the front X1. That is, in the second embodiment, the drag adjustment mechanism 6 is arranged at a position X1 further forward than the first drag washer 51.

[0099] The outer diameter of the first flat drag washer 51C is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the front drag mounting portion 421. That is, the first flat drag washer 51C is set to a diameter dimension larger than the inner diameter of the winding body 41 of the spool 4 and to such an extent that the outer peripheral portion of the friction portion 514 does not contact the inner surface 421a of the front drag mounting portion 421. The friction portion 514 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the first storage recess 45A formed at the front X1 of the front flange portion 42A.

[0100] The second flat plate drag washer 51D is sandwiched between the friction portion 514 of the first flat plate drag washer 51C and the front surface 42a of the front flange portion 42A. The second flat plate drag washer 51D is in a disk shape and has a hole 51c at the center. The spool shaft 40 is inserted through the hole 51c.

[0101] The second towing device 5B of the second embodiment has a cylindrical retaining member 55, which extends from the support portion 52 to the front X1 and is mounted on the spool shaft 40 in a non-rotatable manner. The retaining member 55 is provided on the support portion 52 and is integral therewith. The retaining member 55 supports the inner rings of the first bearing 44A and the second bearing 44B. Moreover, since the nut member 61 is fixed to the front end portion 40a of the spool shaft 40, the pushing force when the towing knob 62 is rotated acts on the first towing washer 51 and also acts on the second towing washer 54 via the retaining member 55 and the support portion 52 mounted on the spool shaft 40 in a non-rotatable manner. In the second embodiment, the pushing force of both the first towing washer 51 and the second towing washer 54 can be adjusted by the towing knob 62.

[0102] As described above, in the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the first drag device 5C having the first drag washer 51 (51C, 51D) is provided at a position X1 further forward than the front end surface of the winding trunk portion 41 of the spool 4, thereby making it possible to set the outer diameter of the first drag washers 51C, 51D larger than the conventional case where the drag device is provided inside the winding trunk portion 41. Therefore, the drag contact area of ​​the first drag washers 51C, 51D can be increased, and the surface pressure on the first drag washers 51C, 51D can be suppressed to be small, thereby improving the durability of the drag.

[0103] In the second embodiment, the first drag device 5C is disposed at a position farther forward X1 than the spool body 41, thereby preventing the fishing line wound around the spool body 41 from being deteriorated due to heat generated by the dragging operation. Furthermore, since the heat generated by the spool body 41 due to the dragging operation can be prevented, the wall thickness of the spool body 41 can be set thinner, thereby reducing the weight of the spool 4.

[0104] In the second embodiment, the first drag washers 51C and 51D are arranged as a whole at a position X1 forward of the front flange portion 42A of the spool 4. That is, in this case, it is possible to make the space inside the spool trunk portion 41 wider without arranging a part of the first drag washers 51C and 51D inside the spool trunk portion 41 of the spool 4. Therefore, the interval between the first bearing 44A and the second bearing 44B arranged inside the spool trunk portion 41 in the axial direction X can be set larger, so that the shaking of the spool 4 in the diagonal direction can be suppressed.

[0105] The above is a description of the embodiments of the spinning reel for fishing of the present invention, but these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The embodiments can be implemented in various other ways, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. The embodiments and their modifications include, for example, those that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art, are substantially the same, and are within the scope of the equivalent.

[0106] For example, in the first embodiment described above, in the stepped drag washer 51A of the first drag device 5A, the first bearing mounting portion 511, the friction portion 512 and the stepped portion 513 are integrally provided, but the structure is not limited to an integral structure. Figure 5 In the modified example of the spinning reel 1B for fishing, the friction portion 512 and the step portion 513 of the step drag washer 51A may be separated. In this case, the first bearing mounting portion 511 and the step portion 513 are integrally provided, and the step portion 513 and the friction portion 512 are fixed by screws 516.

[0107] It should be noted that the shapes, sizes and other structures of the reel body 10 , the handle 2 , the rotor 3 , and the spool 4 may be changed appropriately.
