[0004] Patent Literature

[0005] Patent document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2021-087419. Summary of the invention

[0006] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] However, in the line slack prevention wing plate shown in Patent Document 1, a knot such as a knot is provided on the fishing line as a mark or to suppress floating, and when the knot passes through the wing plate, the wing plate is greatly damaged, thereby posing a risk of damage to the wing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeling of the knot passing through the wing plate will cause discomfort to the hand, and there is room for improvement in this regard.

[0009] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a line guide mechanism for a spinning reel that can prevent damage to a flap and reduce discomfort in the hand when a knot of a fishing line passes through the flap.

[0010] Means used to solve problems

[0011] (1) A line guide mechanism of a spinning reel according to the present invention, in accordance with a first aspect, comprises: a spool; a rotor arm that winds a fishing line around the spool; a support member that is supported by the rotor arm; a line roller that is disposed on the support member and guides the fishing line to the spool; and a wing having a base end portion and a distal end portion, the base end portion being disposed on the support member and the distal end portion being disposed opposite to the line roller and being capable of swinging.

[0012] According to the first aspect of the line guide mechanism of the spinning reel of the present invention, the distal end portion of the wing plate provided opposite to the line roller can swing, so when a knot of the fishing line passes through the distal end portion of the wing plate, the wing plate is pressed by the knot and swings together in the guiding direction of the fishing line. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wing plate from being damaged due to strong contact between the knot and the distal end portion.

[0013] In addition, in the present invention, the swing of the blade makes it difficult for the knot of the fishing line to pass over the blade when the knot passes the distal end of the blade. Therefore, the discomfort caused to the user's hand via the rotor arm having the blade can be reduced.

[0014] (2) In aspect 2 of the present invention, in the line guide mechanism of the spinning reel according to aspect 1, preferably, the base end portion has a swing shaft that supports the blade so as to be swingable relative to the support member.

[0015] In the second aspect of the present invention, when the knot passes through the distal end of the wing plate, the wing plate swings around the swing axis provided at the base end. In this case, since the swing axis is provided at the base end of the wing plate which is farthest from the distal end, the swing radius can be set larger, and even if the contact force of the knot passing through the distal end is small, it can be easily swung, thereby suppressing the discomfort caused to the hand when contacting.

[0016] (3) In aspect 3 of the present invention, in the line guide mechanism of the spinning reel according to aspect 2, it is preferable that the swing shaft is a pin member that supports the blade so as to be attachable and detachable.

[0017] In this case, a pin member such as a fixing bolt serves as a swing axis, and the blade can be smoothly rotated and swung about the pin member, so that the impact force when the knot passes can be reduced.

[0018] (4) In the line guide mechanism of the spinning reel of mode 2 or mode 3, mode 4 of the present invention is further characterized in that the support member has a retaining portion that retains the distal end portion at a retaining position relative to the line roller, and the retaining portion has a force applying member that applies a force to the wing plate in a second direction opposite to the first direction for guiding the fishing line to the reel, causing it to swing around the swing axis.

[0019] In this case, the flap which has been swung from the holding position to the first direction about the swing axis due to the knot passing through the distal end of the flap can be moved to the second direction and restored to the original holding position by the force of the force applying member constituting the holding portion. That is, in the fourth aspect of the present invention, when the knot has not passed through, the distal end of the flap can be always located at a position opposite to the line roller by the force of the force applying member, so that the fishing line can be held between the line roller and the distal end.

[0020] (5) In the line guide mechanism of the spinning reel of mode 1, mode 5 of the present invention is further characterized in that the wing plate has a connecting portion between the base end portion and the distal end portion, and the connecting portion connects the distal end portion to the base end portion and enables the distal end portion to swing relative to the base end portion.

[0021] In the fifth aspect of the present invention, when the knot passes through the distal end of the wing plate, the wing plate swings using the connection portion provided between the base end and the distal end as a swing axis. In this case, since the wing plate itself is provided with the connection portion, it is not necessary to provide the swing axis separately from the wing plate, so that the wing plate capable of swinging can be provided with a simple structure.

[0022] (6) According to aspect 6 of the present invention, in the line guiding mechanism of the spinning reel according to aspect 5, the connecting portion has an elastic deformation portion.

[0023] In the sixth aspect of the present invention, when the knot passes through the distal end of the wing plate, the wing plate swings using the elastic deformation portion provided between the base end and the distal end as a swing axis. In this case, for example, the weakened portion or the bellows can be used as the elastic deformation portion, and even if the contact force of the knot passing through the distal end is small, the distal end can be easily swung, thereby suppressing the discomfort caused to the hand when contacting.

[0024] Effects of the Invention

[0025] According to the line guide mechanism of the spinning reel of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the blade from being damaged and reduce the discomfort caused to the hand when the knot passes through the blade. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] Hereinafter, embodiments of the line guide mechanism of a spinning reel according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the drawings, the scale of each component may be appropriately changed as needed in order to make each component a size that can be visually confirmed.

[0038] (First Embodiment)

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the line guide mechanism of the spinning reel according to the present embodiment is applied to a spinning reel 1 for fishing (fishing reel).

[0040] The fishing spinning reel 1 includes a reel body 10 , a handle 2 rotatably supported by the reel body 10 , a spool 4 , a rotor 3 that winds a fishing line L around the spool 4 as the handle 2 rotates, and a line guide mechanism 5 that is provided on the rotor 3 and guides the fishing line L to the spool 4 .

[0041] The rotor 3 is rotatably supported at the front of the reel body 10. The spool 4 is a device for feeding the fishing line L (see Figure 2 ) is wound on the outer peripheral surface and is arranged at the front of the rotor 3 in a manner that it can move freely forward and backward. It should be noted that Figure 1 In the embodiment, the handle 2 is installed on the left side of the reel body 10 when in use. The handle 2 can be installed on either side of the reel body 10.

[0042] The handle 2 includes a handle grip 20 and a handle arm 21, and the handle grip 20 is rotatably mounted on the front end of the handle arm 21. The base end of the handle arm 21 is mounted on the handle shaft 22 in a manner that is non-rotatable relative to the handle shaft 22, and the handle shaft 22 extends in a direction intersecting the handle arm 21. The handle shaft 22 is connected to the gear shaft (not shown) in a manner that is rotatable as a whole and can be attached and detached.

[0043] The reel main body 10 includes a reel body 11 having a space therein, and a cover member 12 detachably attached to the reel body 11 for closing the space of the reel body 11 .

[0044] The leg portion 110 extending upward and the T-shaped rod mounting portion 111 extending forward and backward from the upper end of the leg portion 110 are integrally formed with the reel body 11. The reel body 11 has an installation space for mounting various mechanism parts inside. The cover member 12 is, for example, a member made of aluminum alloy, covers the rear portion of the reel body 11, and is screwed to the reel body 11 at multiple positions.

[0045] The spool shaft of the spool 4 passes through the reel body 11 and is rotatably supported on the reel body 11. In addition, a circular through hole (not shown) through which the handle shaft 22 can be inserted is formed in the reel body 11 and the cover member 12, respectively. Rolling bearings (not shown) are accommodated around the through holes on the inner side surfaces of the reel body 11 and the cover member 12, and the rolling bearings support the handle shaft 22 and allow it to rotate freely.

[0046] The spool 4 is disposed between a pair of rotor arms 32A and 32B disposed opposite to each other on the rotor 3. The spool 4 is mounted on the front end of the spool shaft via a drag mechanism (not shown). The spool 4 has a winding trunk around which the fishing line L is wound. The spool 4 reciprocates in the front-rear direction relative to the reel body 10 as the handle 2 rotates.

[0047] The rotor 3 is rotatably supported on the reel body 10, and rotates around the central axis of the spool 4 as the handle 2 rotates. The rotor 3 includes: a rotor body 31; a pair of rotor arms 32A, 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 guide ring reversing mechanism 33, which is mounted on the rotor body 31 and is used to restore the rotor arms 32A, 32B from the fishing line releasing posture to the fishing line winding posture.

[0048] The rotor body 31 has a cylindrical portion 310 , and the cylindrical portion 310 is attached to the reel body 11 so as to be rotatable around the spool axis.

[0049] The rotor arms 32A and 32B are disposed on the sides of the cylindrical portion 310 so as to face each other. The cylindrical portion 310 and the rotor arms 32A and 32B are made of, for example, aluminum alloy and are integrally formed. A guide ring 34 is fixed between the front ends of the rotor arms 32A and 32B facing each other, and the guide ring 34 guides the fishing line L to the reel 4, and its shape is such that the wire is bent in a substantially U-shape.

[0050] The line guide mechanism 5 rotates together with the rotor 3 about the central axis of the spool 4, and guides the fishing line L to the spool 4. The line guide mechanism 5 includes: the above-mentioned spool 4; the rotor arms 32A and 32B, which wind the fishing line L around the spool 4; the support members 51A and 51B, which are supported by the rotor arms 32A and 32B, respectively; the line roller 52, which is provided on one of the first support members 51A and guides the fishing line L to the spool 4; and the wing plate 60, as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, the flap 60 includes a swing shaft 61 and a wire guide portion 60a (distal end portion). The swing shaft 61 is provided on the first support member 51A. The wire guide portion 60a is provided opposite to the wire roller 52 and is capable of swinging.

[0051] Here, if Figure 2 As shown, in the following description, in the wing plate 60, the swing shaft 61 is arranged at the same position as the rotation shaft 52C of the wire roller 52 (refer to Figure 1 ), the center of the swing shaft 61 is defined as the swing center axis O, and the direction along the swing center axis O is defined as the axial direction X. In addition, in a top view from the axial direction X, the direction orthogonal to the swing center axis O is defined as the radial direction, and the direction rotating around the swing center axis O is defined as the circumferential direction.

[0052] In addition, in the first support member 51A, the side to which the guide ring 34 is fixed in the axial direction X is referred to as the inner side, and the side opposite to the inner side is referred to as the outer side.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support members 51A and 51B are respectively arranged at the front ends of the rotor arms 32A and 32B. The first support member 51A includes: a mounting portion 511, which is swingably mounted on the front end of the first rotor arm 32A; an extension portion 512, which extends from the mounting portion 511; and a first support portion 513, which is arranged at the front end of the extension portion 512, supports the wire roller 52 so that it can rotate, and fixes one end 34a of the guide ring 34. The second support member 51B includes: a mounting portion 511, which is swingably mounted on the front end of the second rotor arm 32B; an extension portion 512, which extends from the mounting portion 511; and a second support portion 514, which is arranged at the front end of the extension portion 512, and fixes the other end 34b of the guide ring 34.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the line roller 52 has a line guide groove 52a in the axial center, is rotatably supported by the first support portion 513 of the first support member 51A, and guides the fishing line L to the spool 4. The line roller 52 is supported via a bearing (not shown) mounted on the first support portion 513, and rotates around the rotation axis 52C.

[0055] One end 34a of the guide ring 34 is supported by the first support member 51A, and the other end 34b is supported by the second support member 51B. The guide ring 34 is swingably supported by the pair of rotor arms 32A and 32B, and guides the fishing line L to the line roller 52 .

[0056] like Figure 2As shown, the extension portion 512 extends in the front-rear direction of the reel. A plate-shaped fixing plate 53 is provided on the inner surface 512a of the extension portion 512 of the first support member 51A. The fixing plate 53 has a fixing inner surface 53a facing inward and orthogonal to the axial direction X. An internal thread portion 53b for screwing the swing shaft 61 is formed on the fixing inner surface 53a of the fixing plate 53.

[0057] The blade 60 is swingably connected to the first support member 51A of the first rotor arm 32A so as to be able to take a holding position P1 and a swing position P2 (see Figure 3 ), the holding position P1 is opposite to the wire roller 52, and the swinging position P2 is not opposite to the wire roller 52, but swings to a position offset in the wire winding direction (guiding direction E1).

[0058] The wing plate 60 is formed of a rigid member such as a resin member. The wing plate 60 is fixed to the extension portion 512 of the first support member 51A via the fixing plate 53 so as to be swingable. The wing plate 60 is a plate-shaped member extending in one direction, and has a swing shaft 61 at a base end portion 60b at one end in the longitudinal direction. The base end portion 60b of the wing plate 60 has an insertion hole 60e (see FIG. 1 ) through which the swing shaft 61 can be inserted. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The wing plate 60 is arranged in a state where the insertion hole 60e faces the axial direction X.

[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the swing shaft 61 supports the wing plate 60 so that it can swing relative to the first support member 51A. The swing shaft 61 is a pin member such as a fixing bolt that supports the wing plate 60 and allows it to be attached and detached. An external threaded portion 61a that is screwed into the internal threaded portion 53b of the fixed plate 53 is formed at the front end of the swing shaft 61. The swing shaft 61 is locked in the internal threaded portion 53b of the fixed plate 53 in a state of being inserted into the insertion hole 60e. As a result, the wing plate 60 is provided in a manner that it can swing around the swing shaft 61 relative to the fixed plate 53.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the line guide portion 60a at the front end in the longitudinal direction of the wing plate 60 forms one side of a plate-like portion extending in the axial direction X, and is arranged opposite to the line guide groove 52a of the line roller 52 at the holding position P1. The line guide portion 60a is close to the line roller 52 at the holding position P1 and is separated from it by a gap S. Even if a knot (knot) or the like formed on the fishing line L during winding makes the fishing line L larger than the gap S, the wing plate 60 can be pressed by the knot or the like and swing to the swing position P2. The gap S between the line roller 52 and the line guide portion 60a of the wing plate 60 is, for example, about 1 mm.

[0061] like Figure 4As shown in FIG. 1 , the first support member 51A includes a spring member 54 (holding portion, urging member) that holds the line guide portion 60a at the holding position P1 relative to the line roller 52. The spring member 54 is a coil spring. One end 54a of the spring member 54 is fixed to the first support member 51A, and the other end 54b is fixed to the base end portion 60b of the wing plate 60 when the swing shaft 61 is inserted through the winding portion 54c. The spring member 54 urges the wing plate 60 in a restoring direction E2 (second direction) opposite to the guiding direction E1 (first direction) in which the fishing line L is guided to the spool 4, and causes the wing plate 60 to swing about the swing shaft 61.

[0062] Next, the operation of the line guide mechanism 5 of the spinning reel configured as above will be described in detail based on the drawings.

[0063] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the line guiding mechanism 5 of the spinning reel of the present embodiment comprises: a spool 4; rotor arms 32A, 32B, which wind the fishing line L around the spool 4; a first support member 51A, which is supported by the first rotor arm 32A; a line roller 52, which is provided on the first support member 51A and guides the fishing line L to the spool 4; and a wing plate 60, which has a base end portion 60b and a line guide portion 60a, the base end portion 60b is provided on the first support member 51A, and the line guide portion 60a is provided opposite to the line roller 52 and can swing.

[0064] In the line guide mechanism 5 of the present embodiment, since the line guide portion 60a of the wing plate 60 disposed opposite to the line roller 52 can swing, when a knot of the fishing line L passes through the line guide portion 60a of the wing plate 60, the wing plate 60 is pressed by the knot and swings together in the guiding direction E1 of the fishing line L. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wing plate 60 from being damaged due to strong contact between the knot and the line guide portion 60a.

[0065] In addition, in this embodiment, the flap 60 swings and the knot of the fishing line L passes through the line guide 60a of the flap 60, which makes it difficult to generate an impact force such that the knot of the fishing line L goes over the flap 60. Therefore, the discomfort caused to the user's hand via the first rotor arm 32A having the flap 60 can be reduced.

[0066] In addition, in the present embodiment, the base end portion 60b has a swing shaft 61, which supports the wing plate 60 and allows it to swing relative to the first support member 51A. Therefore, when the knot passes through the wire guide portion 60a of the wing plate 60, the wing plate 60 swings around the swing shaft 61 provided at the base end portion 60b. In this case, since the swing shaft 61 is provided at the base end portion 60b of the wing plate 60 farthest from the wire guide portion 60a, the swing radius can be set large, and even if the contact force of the knot passing through the wire guide portion 60a is small, it can be easily swung, so that the discomfort caused to the hand when contacting can be suppressed to a smaller extent.

[0067] In addition, in this embodiment, the swing shaft 61 is a pin member that supports and detaches the wing plate 60. Therefore, the pin member such as the fixing bolt is the swing shaft 61, and the wing plate 60 can be smoothly rotated and swung around the pin member, so that the impact force when the knot passes can be reduced.

[0068] In addition, in the present embodiment, the first support member 51A includes a spring member 54, which maintains the line guide portion 60a at a holding position P1 relative to the line roller 52, applies force to the wing plate 60 in a restoration direction E2 opposite to the guiding direction E1, and causes it to swing around the swing axis 61, wherein the guiding direction E1 guides the fishing line L in the direction of the reel 4.

[0069] Thus, the flap 60, which has been swung about the swing axis 61 in the guiding direction E1 from the holding position P1 due to the knot passing through the line guide 60a of the flap 60, can be moved in the restoring direction E2 and restored to the original holding position P1 by the urging force of the spring member 54. That is, in the present embodiment, when the knot has not passed through, the line guide 60a of the flap 60 can be always located at a position opposite to the line roller 52 by the urging force of the spring member 54, so that the fishing line L can be held between the line roller 52 and the line guide 60a.

[0070] In the line guide mechanism 5 of the spinning reel of the present embodiment configured as described above, damage to the wing plate 60 can be prevented, and discomfort in the hand when the knot passes through the wing plate 60 can be reduced.

[0071] Next, another embodiment of the line guide mechanism of the spinning reel 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 if the description is redundant.

[0072] (Second Embodiment)

[0073] Figure 5The wire guide mechanism 5A of the spinning reel of the second embodiment shown in the figure adopts the following structure: a first elastic member 55 (urging member) is provided at the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the wing plate 60A as a holding portion for holding the wire guide portion 60a at the holding position P1 relative to the wire roller 52. That is, the second embodiment is provided with the first elastic member 55 instead of the spring member 54 of the first embodiment (see Figure 4 ) structure.

[0074] The wing plate 60A is formed with a long hole 62 at a position between the wire guide portion 60a and the base end portion 60b along the length direction, and the long hole 62 extends in the length direction and penetrates in the thickness direction. The first support member 51A has a first wall surface 51a facing the outer peripheral surface 60c of the wing plate 60A. The first wall surface 51a is provided with a locking recess 51b, which is arranged opposite to the long hole 62 of the wing plate 60A and accommodates the first locking portion 55a of one end of the first elastic member 55.

[0075] The first elastic member 55 is, for example, a rubber member, which is long in one direction and can be stretched in the length direction. Both ends of the first elastic member 55 have engaging portions 55a and 55b that bulge in a direction intersecting the length direction. The first elastic member 55 is configured so that the length direction is oriented in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction X, and connects the first wall surface 51a of the first support member 51A and the wing plate 60A. One of the first engaging portions 55a of the first elastic member 55 engages with the engaging recess 51b of the first support member 51A, and the other second engaging portion 55b engages with the inner peripheral surface 60d of the wing plate 60A when inserted into the long hole 62 of the wing plate 60A. The first elastic member 55 supported on the wing plate 60A is located at a position closer to the wire guide portion 60a than the swing shaft 61.

[0076] The first elastic member 55 is stretched and deformed when the wing plate 60A swings in the guiding direction E1. The first elastic member 55 uses elastic force to restore the wing plate 60A swinging in the guiding direction E1 to the restoring direction E2 opposite to the guiding direction E1, thereby maintaining the line guide portion 60a of the wing plate 60A at a position opposite to the line roller 52, wherein the guiding direction E1 is the direction in which the fishing line L is guided to the reel.

[0077] In the second embodiment, the line guide 60a of the wing 60A swings from the holding position P1 to the guide direction E1 around the swing shaft 61 due to the knot passing through the line guide 60a of the wing 60A. At this time, the wing 60A swings and reaches the swing position in a state where the first elastic member 55 is stretched and deformed. Thereafter, the wing 60A swinging to the swing position moves in the restoration direction E2 by the force of the first elastic member 55 and returns to the original holding position P1. That is, in the second embodiment, when the knot does not pass through, the line guide 60a of the wing 60A can be always located at the holding position P1 relative to the line roller 52 by the force of the first elastic member 55, so that the fishing line L can be held between the line roller 52 and the line guide 60a.

[0078] (Third Embodiment)

[0079] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1 , the wire guide mechanism 5B of the spinning reel of the third embodiment adopts the following structure: a second elastic member 56 (urging member) is provided at the base end portion 60b of the wing plate 60B as a holding portion for holding the wire guide portion 60a at the holding position P1 relative to the wire roller 52. That is, the third embodiment is provided with a second elastic member 56 in place of the first elastic member 55 (see FIG. 1 ) of the second embodiment described above. Figure 5 ) structure.

[0080] The base end portion 60b of the wing plate 60B has a contact portion 63 that further protrudes from the insertion hole 60e through which the swing shaft 61 is inserted. The second elastic member 56 is provided at a position of the first wall surface 51a of the first support member 51A that faces the contact portion 63 of the wing plate 60B. That is, the surface of the contact portion 63 that faces the second elastic member 56 becomes a contact surface 63a that contacts the second elastic member 56.

[0081] The second elastic member 56 is, for example, a hollow cylindrical member made of rubber, and is disposed with its cylindrical axis facing the axial direction X. The second elastic member 56 is fixed by having a portion thereof engage with a recess 51 c formed in the first wall surface 51 a of the first support member 51A.

[0082] It should be noted that the second elastic member 56 is not limited to a hollow cylindrical rubber member, but may be a solid, overall soft rubber member, etc. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the second elastic member 56 is also not limited to a circle, and may be a rectangle, for example.

[0083] When the wing 60B swings in the guiding direction E1, the contact portion 63 on the base end portion 60b side moves in a direction close to the first wall surface 51a of the first support member 51A, and the second elastic member 56 is compressed and deformed in a manner of flattening the second elastic member 56 fixed to the first wall surface 51a by the contact portion 63. The second elastic member 56 restores the wing 60B swinging in the guiding direction E1 in the restoring direction E2 opposite to the guiding direction E1 by elastic force, and maintains the line guide portion 60a of the wing 60B at a position opposite to the line roller 52, wherein the guiding direction E1 is a direction for guiding the fishing line L to the spool.

[0084] In the third embodiment, the line guide 60a of the wing 60B swings from the holding position P1 to the guide direction E1 around the swing shaft 61 because the knot passes through the line guide 60a of the wing 60B. At this time, the wing 60B swings and reaches the swing position P2 in a state where the second elastic member 56 is compressed and deformed. Thereafter, the wing 60B that has swung to the swing position P2 moves in the restoration direction E2 and returns to the original holding position P1 by the force of the second elastic member 56. That is, in the third embodiment, when the knot does not pass through, the line guide 60a of the wing 60B can be always located at the holding position P1 relative to the line roller 52 by the force of the second elastic member 56, so that the fishing line L can be held between the line roller 52 and the line guide 60a.

[0085] (Fourth Embodiment)

[0086] like Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , the wire guide mechanism 5C of the spinning reel of the fourth embodiment adopts the following structure: a flexure protrusion 57 (urging member) is provided at the base end portion 60b of the wing plate 60C as a holding portion for holding the wire guide portion 60a at the holding position P1 relative to the wire roller 52. That is, the fourth embodiment is provided with a flexure protrusion 57 instead of the first elastic member 55 (see FIG. 1 ) of the second embodiment. Figure 5 ) or the second elastic member 56 of the third embodiment (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 ) structure.

[0087] The flexure protrusion 57 is provided at a position on the opposite side of the wire guide portion 60a across the swing shaft 61 at the base end 60b of the wing plate 60C. The fixed portion 57a ​​at one end of the flexure protrusion 57 is fixed to the base end 60b, and the protruding end 57b at the other end protrudes obliquely inward from the fixed portion 57a. The flexure protrusion 57 is configured to be able to bend and deform at the connection portion (fixed portion 57a) with the base end 60b of the wing plate 60C. That is, when the wing plate 60C swings in the guide direction E1, the flexure protrusion 57 bends in a direction in which the distance between the protruding end 57b and the base end 60b is reduced, and a reaction force is generated on the side opposite to the bending direction.

[0088] The first supporting member 51A has a second wall surface 51d which is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the wing plate 60C at the holding position P1 and faces the bending protrusion 57. The second wall surface 51d is provided so that the protruding end 57b of the bending protrusion 57 of the wing plate 60C at the holding position P1 abuts against the second wall surface 51d.

[0089] When the flap 60C swings in the guide direction E1, the flexing protrusion 57 is flexed and deformed between the base end 60b of the flap 60C and the second wall surface 51d of the first support member 51A. The flexing protrusion 57 restores the flap 60C swinging in the guide direction E1 in the restoration direction E2 opposite to the guide direction E1 by elastic force, and maintains the line guide portion 60a of the flap 60C at a position opposite to the line roller 52, wherein the guide direction E1 is a direction for guiding the fishing line L to the spool 4.

[0090] In the fourth embodiment, the line guide 60a of the wing plate 60C swings from the holding position P1 to the guide direction E1 around the swing shaft 61 due to the knot passing through the line guide 60a of the wing plate 60C. At this time, the wing plate 60C swings and reaches the swing position in a state where the bending protrusion 57 is bent and deformed. Thereafter, the wing plate 60C that has swung to the swing position moves in the restoration direction E2 by the reaction force of the bending protrusion 57 and returns to the original holding position P1. That is, in the fourth embodiment, when the knot has not passed, the line guide 60a of the wing plate 60C can be always located at the holding position P1 relative to the line roller 52 by the force of the bending protrusion 57, so that the fishing line L can be held between the line roller 52 and the line guide 60a.

[0091] (Fifth Embodiment)

[0092] like Fig. 9 As shown, the line guide mechanism 5D of the spinning reel of the fifth embodiment adopts a structure in which the wing plate 60D itself has a portion that can swing. That is, the fifth embodiment is a structure in which the holding portion (spring member 54, first elastic member 55, second elastic member 56, and bending protrusion 57) and the swing shaft 61 for swinging the wing plate 60D of the first to fourth embodiments are not provided.

[0093] The base end 60b of the wing plate 60D is fixed to the first support member 51A by a fixing bolt 66. That is, the wing plate 60D is a structure that does not rotate (swing) around the fixing bolt 66. The wing plate 60D has a curved portion 64 (connecting portion, elastic deformation portion) at a position between the base end 60b and the wire guide portion 60a, and the curved portion 64 connects the wire guide portion 60a to the base end 60b and enables it to swing relative to the base end 60b. When viewed from the axial direction X, the curved portion 64 is formed into an arch shape having a convex curved surface protruding in the guide direction E1, and is elastically deformable. If the wing plate 60D swings in the guide direction E1, the curved portion 64 deforms in the direction opposite to the bending direction to generate a reaction force. Then, the curved portion 64 restores the wing plate 60D swinging in the guiding direction E1 to the restoring direction E2 opposite to the guiding direction E1 by elastic force, and maintains the line guide portion 60a of the wing plate 60D at a position opposite to the line roller 52, wherein the guiding direction E1 is the direction for guiding the fishing line L to the reel.

[0094] In the fifth embodiment, the line guide 60a of the flap 60D swings from the holding position P1 to the guide direction E1 around the swing axis 61 due to the knot passing through the line guide 60a of the flap 60D. At this time, the flap 60D swings due to the deformation of the curved portion 64 and reaches the swing position P2. Thereafter, the flap 60D swinging to the swing position P2 moves in the restoration direction E2 by the reaction force of the curved portion 64 and returns to the original holding position P1. That is, in the fifth embodiment, when the knot does not pass through, the line guide 60a of the flap 60D can be always located at the holding position P1 opposite to the line roller 52 by the force of the curved portion 64, so that the fishing line L can be held between the line roller 52 and the line guide 60a.

[0095] In addition, in the fifth embodiment, when the knot of the fishing line L passes through, the wing plate itself will swing by bending using the bending portion 64, so there is no need for other components for returning the wing plate 60D to its original position. Therefore, the assembly performance during manufacturing is good, and there is no damage to the force-applying components provided as other components, and the structure is excellent.

[0096] (Sixth Embodiment)

[0097] like Fig.10 As shown, the line guide mechanism 5E of the spinning reel of the sixth embodiment adopts a structure in which the wing plate 60E itself has a swingable portion, similar to the fifth embodiment. That is, the sixth embodiment is provided with a bellows 65 instead of the bent portion 64 of the fifth embodiment (see Fig. 9 ) structure.

[0098] The base end 60b of the wing plate 60E is fixed to the first support member 51A by a fixing bolt 66. That is, the wing plate 60E is a structure that does not rotate (swing) around the fixing bolt 66. The wing plate 60E has a bellows 65 (connecting portion, elastic deformation portion) at a position between the base end 60b and the wire guide portion 60a, and the bellows 65 connects the wire guide portion 60a to the base end 60b and enables it to swing relative to the base end 60b. When viewed from the axial direction X, the bellows 65 is formed by alternately bending in the guide direction E1 and the restoration direction E2, and the entire bellows can be elastically deformed. If the wing plate 60E swings in the guide direction E1, the bellows 65 is deformed to generate a reaction force. Then, the bellows 65 uses elastic force to restore the wing plate 60E that swings in the guiding direction E1 to the restoring direction E2 opposite to the guiding direction E1, thereby maintaining the line guide portion 60a of the wing plate 60E at a position relative to the line roller 52, wherein the guiding direction E1 is the direction for guiding the fishing line L to the reel.

[0099] In the sixth embodiment, the line guide 60a of the wing 60E swings from the holding position P1 to the guide direction E1 around the swing axis 61 due to the knot passing through the line guide 60a of the wing 60E. At this time, the wing 60E swings and reaches the swing position P2 due to the deformation of the bellows 65. Thereafter, the wing 60E swinging to the swing position P2 moves in the restoration direction E2 by the reaction force of the bellows 65 and returns to the original holding position P1. That is, in the sixth embodiment, when the knot does not pass through, the line guide 60a of the wing 60E can be always located at the holding position P1 relative to the line roller 52 by the force of the bellows 65, so that the fishing line L can be held between the line roller 52 and the line guide 60a.

[0100] In addition, in the sixth embodiment, when the knot of the fishing line L passes through, the wing plate itself will swing by utilizing the deformation of the bellows 65, so there is no need for other components to restore the wing plate 60E to its original position. Therefore, the assembly performance during manufacturing is good, and there is no damage to the force-applying components provided as other components, and the structure is excellent.

[0101] (Seventh Embodiment)

[0102] like Fig.11 As shown, the line guide mechanism 5F of the spinning reel of the seventh embodiment adopts the following structure: in order to hold the line guide portion 60a at the holding position P1 relative to the line roller 52, a pair of elastic clamping bodies 58A, 58B (biasing members) are used as holding parts to clamp the base end portion 60b of the wing plate 60F. That is, the seventh embodiment is a structure in which the elastic clamping bodies 58A, 58B are provided instead of the first elastic member 55 of the second embodiment and the second elastic member 56 of the third embodiment.

[0103] A fixing hole 68 is formed at the base end portion 60b of the wing plate 60F and penetrates in the thickness direction. A spacer 510 is fixed to the first wall surface 51a of the first support member 51A facing the outer peripheral surface 60c of the wing plate 60F. The inner surface of the spacer 510 has an internal thread portion (not shown) for screwing the first fixing bolt 59A and the second fixing bolt 59B.

[0104] Each of the elastic clamping bodies 58A and 58B is, for example, a rubber plate-shaped member, and is provided in a state of clamping the base end 60b of the wing plate 60F. A bolt hole (not shown) through which the first fixing bolt 59A can be inserted is provided at one end of the elastic clamping bodies 58A and 58B, and a bolt hole (not shown) through which the second fixing bolt 59B can be inserted is provided at the other end. The first fixing bolt 59A is inserted only through a pair of elastic clamping bodies 58A and 58B and is screwed with the spacer 510. The first fixing bolt 59A is located at a position further outward than the base end 60b of the wing plate 60F. The second fixing bolt 59B is inserted through the elastic clamping bodies 58A and 58B clamping the wing plate 60F together with the fixing hole 68 of the wing plate 60F and is screwed with the spacer 510.

[0105] The elastic clamping bodies 58A and 58B are elastically deformed when the wing plate 60F swings in the guiding direction E1. The elastic clamping bodies 58A and 58B restore the wing plate 60F swinging in the guiding direction E1 to the restoring direction E2 opposite to the guiding direction E1 by elastic force, thereby maintaining the line guide portion 60a of the wing plate 60F at a position opposite to the line roller 52, wherein the guiding direction E1 is the direction in which the fishing line L is guided to the reel 4.

[0106] In the seventh embodiment, the line guide 60a of the wing plate 60F swings from the holding position P1 to the guide direction E1 around the swing shaft 61 due to the knot passing through the line guide 60a of the wing plate 60F. At this time, the wing plate 60F swings and reaches the swing position P2 in a state where the elastic clamping bodies 58A and 58B are elastically deformed. Thereafter, the wing plate 60F swinging to the swing position P2 moves in the restoration direction E2 by the force of the elastic clamping bodies 58A and 58B and returns to the original holding position P1. That is, in the seventh embodiment, when the knot does not pass through, the line guide 60a of the wing plate 60F can be always located at the holding position P1 relative to the line roller 52 by the force of the elastic clamping bodies 58A and 58B, so that the fishing line L can be held between the line roller 52 and the line guide 60a.

[0107] The above describes the embodiments of the line guide mechanism of the spinning reel 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. In addition, the embodiments include, for example, those that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art, are substantially the same, and are within the scope of the equivalent.

[0108] For example, the shape of the first support member 51A is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed in accordance with the structure of the wire guide mechanism such as the swinging mode of the blade and the blade shape.
