Description

[Technical field]

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

[0002] Conventionally, fishing spinning reels equipped with a reverse rotation prevention device that prevents the rotor from rotating in the reverse direction are known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The reverse rotation prevention device of Patent Document 1 is equipped with a switching lever that switches the reverse rotation prevention device between a reverse rotation prevention state and a reverse rotation permission state, which is provided at the bottom of the reel main body.

[0003] Fig. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a typical switching mechanism of a conventional fishing spinning reel. As shown in Fig. 7, a reverse rotation prevention device 60 includes a spindle 61 and a spring member 62. The spindle 61 is configured to be rotatable between a reverse rotation prevention position where a reverse rotation prevention state is achieved and a reverse rotation permission position where a reverse rotation permission state is achieved by operating an operating lever 63. The spring member 62 is configured to elastically abut against a distribution holding portion 64 of the spindle 61 with a spring force, and to distribute and hold the rotation of the spindle 61.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2010-273581 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The conventional reverse prevention device 60 has a structure in which a support shaft 61 and a spring member 62 are arranged side by side above and below a body 65, and one end 62a of the spring member 62 abuts against a distribution holding portion 64 from above the support shaft 61. For this reason, the conventional reverse prevention device 60 has a problem in that the installation space for the support shaft 61 and the spring member 62 becomes large in the vertical direction of the body 65, and the body 65 becomes large.

[0006] Furthermore, in the conventional reverse prevention device 60, the installation space between the support shaft 61 and the spring member 62 becomes large in the vertical direction, which may limit the position at which the screw holes of the cover member (not shown) attached to the body 65 are formed. For this reason, the conventional reverse prevention device 60 does not meet the demand for improving the strength of the body by arranging the screw holes of the cover member in a well-balanced manner.

[0007] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has an object to provide a fishing spinning reel in which the body can be made compact while improving its strength. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes a rotor that rotates forward when the handle is operated to wind the reel, a reverse prevention device that prevents the rotor from rotating in the reverse direction, and a switching mechanism that switches the reverse prevention device between a reverse prevention state and a reverse permission state. The switching mechanism includes a spindle that is rotatably supported on the body of the reel unit, an operating lever attached to the spindle, and a U-shaped spring member attached to the body. The spindle is inserted into the inside of the U-shaped recess of the spring member. The spring member is biased toward the inside of the U-shape and abuts against the outer surface of the spindle. The spindle is held in a reverse prevention position where the reverse prevention device is in a reverse prevention state and a reverse permission position where the reverse permission state is in a reverse permission state by the abutment of the spring member.

[0009] In the present invention, the spindle of the switching mechanism is inserted inside the U-shaped spring member to distribute and hold the rotation of the spindle between the reverse prevention position and the reverse permission position, so that the distribution structure that distributes the spindle between the reverse prevention position in which the reverse prevention state is achieved and the reverse permission position in which the reverse permission state is achieved can be accommodated within the installation space of the spring member. Therefore, the installation space for the switching mechanism can be made smaller than when the spindle and the spring member are arranged side by side in the vertical direction of the body. This allows the reel body to be made more compact.

[0010] In addition, since the installation space for the switching mechanism can be reduced, for example, when the reel main body is composed of a body and a cover member attached to the body, the space for forming the screw holes for fixing the cover member can be secured around the spindle and the spring member. This makes it possible to arrange a plurality of screw holes at equal or approximately equal intervals around the drive gear shaft to which the handle is attached. Therefore, the cover member can be attached to the body in a balanced manner centered on the drive gear shaft, and the strength of the body can be improved.

[0011] In the fishing spinning reel, it is preferable that the spring member has an arcuate bent portion and straight portions continuing to both ends of the bent portion, and is attached to the body from the tip side of the straight portions.

[0012] In this configuration, when attaching the spring member to the body, the spring member can be attached by placing a finger on the outer surface of the bent portion and pushing the spring member in with the finger, so no special tools are required for attachment, thereby improving productivity.

[0013] It is preferable that one of the straight portions abuts against a wall surface formed on the body and is held by the body, and the other straight portion abuts against an outer surface of the support shaft from the side opposite to the side on which the one straight portion is located, thereby dividing and holding the rotation of the support shaft between the reverse prevention position and the reverse permission position.

[0014] In this configuration, one straight portion serves as a support portion and the other straight portion is biased toward the inside of the U-shape, making it easy to create a structure in which the other straight portion abuts against the outer surface of the support shaft on the inside of the U. Therefore, the structure of the switching mechanism is simple and has excellent productivity.

[0015] The fishing spinning reel preferably has a cover member attached to the body from the side of the body and supporting one end of a drive gear shaft to which the handle is attached, and three screw holes formed in the body into which fixing screws for fixing the cover member are screwed. In this case, it is preferable that the switching mechanism is disposed in the lower part of the body, one of the three screw holes is formed in the body around the spring member, and the three screw holes are formed at equal intervals around the drive gear shaft to which the handle is attached.

[0016] In this configuration, the free space around the spring member of the switching mechanism in the body can be used to form the screw holes, increasing the freedom in forming the three screw holes. Also, because the three screw holes are formed at equal intervals around the drive gear shaft, the cover member can be fixed to the body in a balanced manner, which results in improved body strength. Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, a fishing spinning reel can be obtained in which the body can be made compact while improving the strength of the body. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Next, a fishing spinning reel 100 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, "front and back" and "up and down" refer to the directions shown in Figures 1 and 2, and "left and right" refer to the directions shown in Figure 4.

[0020] (First embodiment) First, the basic structure of a fishing spinning reel 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a fishing spinning reel 100 comprises a reel body 1 to which a handle 3 is attached, a rotor 4 provided on the front side of the reel body 1 and which rotates in the forward direction when the handle 3 is operated to wind the line, and a spool 5 provided on the front side of the rotor 4 and which moves back and forth in the forward and backward directions when the handle 3 is operated to wind the line.

[0021] The reel body 1 comprises a body 10 and a cover member 11 attached to the body 10. An upwardly extending leg portion 12 is formed on the top of the body 10. A rod attachment portion 12a is formed on the upper end of the leg portion 12 to be attached to a fishing rod. A protective cover 13 is attached to the rear of the body 10 by attachment screws 13a (see FIG. 2).

[0022] The cover member 11 is fixed to the left side surface of the body 10 by three fixing screws 11a to 11c. The cover member 11 supports one end side of the drive gear shaft 2. The fixing screw 11a is a screw that fixes the front part of the cover member 11. The fixing screw 11b is a screw that fixes the upper part of the cover member 11. The fixing screw 11c is a screw that fixes the rear part of the cover member 11. The body 10 and the cover member 11 are integrated by screwing the fixing screws 11a to 11c. As shown in FIG. 2, the body 10 is formed with three screw holes 10a to 10c into which the fixing screws 11a to 11c are screwed. The details of the arrangement of the screw holes 10a to 10c will be described later.

[0023] As shown in Figure 2, a drive shaft tube 6 and a spool shaft 7 are attached to the reel body 1 so as to protrude forward from the front of the body 10. A rotor 4 (see Figure 1) is attached to the front end of the drive shaft tube 6. A spool 5 (see Figure 1) is attached to the front end of the spool shaft 7.

[0024] Within the body 10, there are provided a drive gear shaft 2 extending in the left-right direction and a spool reciprocating device 20 as components for driving the drive shaft tube 6 and the spool shaft 8 in conjunction with the operation of the handle 3 (see Figure 1).

[0025] The drive gear shaft 2 includes a drive gear 2a and a gear 2b. The drive gear shaft 2 is rotatably supported by the cover member 11 and the body 10 via left and right ball bearings (not shown). A handle shaft (not shown) provided on the handle 3 is screwed onto the drive gear shaft 2. This allows the handle 3 and the drive gear shaft 2 to rotate together.

[0026] The spool reciprocating device 20 includes a slider 21 and an interlocking gear 22, and is configured so that the slider 21 moves in the front-rear direction along a guide shaft 23 that extends in the front-rear direction of the body 10. The slider 21 is fixed to the rear end of the spool shaft 7, and includes a guide groove 21a that opens to the right side. The interlocking gear 22 is supported on the side wall of the body 10, and rotates in mesh with the gear 2b of the drive gear shaft 2. The interlocking gear 22 includes an eccentric protrusion 22a that engages with the guide groove 21a of the slider 21.

[0027] As described above, when the drive gear shaft 2 and the gear 2b rotate due to the winding operation of the handle 3, the interlocking gear 22 rotates, and the rotational motion is converted into the forward and backward motion of the slider 21 via the eccentric protrusion 22a and the guide groove 21a. This causes the spool shaft 7 (spool 5) to reciprocate in the forward and backward directions.

[0028] A reverse rotation prevention device 30 that prevents reverse rotation of the rotor 4 is mounted inside the front portion 1a of the reel body 1. Meanwhile, a switching mechanism 40 is provided at the bottom of the body 10 for switching the reverse rotation prevention device 30 between a reverse rotation prevention state and a reverse rotation permitted state. The reverse rotation prevention state is a state in which rotation of the drive shaft cylinder 6 and the rotor 4 in one direction (forward rotation), which is the fishing line winding direction, is permitted, while rotation in the opposite direction (reverse rotation) is prevented. The reverse rotation permitted state is a state in which rotation of the drive shaft cylinder 6 and the rotor 4 in both directions (forward rotation and reverse rotation) is permitted.

[0029] The reverse rotation prevention device 30 has an inner ring 31 fitted on the drive shaft tube 6, an outer ring 32 as an annular retainer, a plurality of rollers 33 arranged between the inner ring 31 and the outer ring 32, and a retainer 34 that holds the rollers 33. A ring-shaped protrusion 34a is formed at the bottom of the retainer 34, penetrating the outer ring 32 and protruding radially outward. An engagement portion 41e of the switching mechanism 40, which will be described later, is inserted into and engaged with an annular hole of the protrusion 34a. The retainer 34 rotates around the central axis of the reverse rotation prevention device 30 as the protrusion 34a moves in the circumferential direction in conjunction with the switching mechanism 40, and is rotated between a reverse rotation prevention position in which the reverse rotation is prevented and a reverse rotation permission position in which the reverse rotation is permitted. When the retainer 34 is rotated to the reverse rotation prevention position, each roller 33 exerts a wedge action between the inner ring 31 and the outer ring 32 to prevent reverse rotation of the inner ring 31. When the retainer 34 is rotated to the reverse rotation permission position, the wedge action is released and the forward and reverse rotation of the inner ring 31 is permitted.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 3, the switching mechanism 40 has a shaft 41 rotatably supported on the lower part of the body 10, an operating lever 42 attached to the shaft 41, and a spring member 43 attached to the body 10. As shown in Fig. 4, the spring member 43 is bent into a U-shape when viewed from the rear. The shaft 41 is inserted into the inside of the U-shaped recess of the spring member 43.

[0031] The support shaft 41 is a generally cylindrical member extending in the front-rear direction of the body 10. An engagement portion 41e (see Figs. 3 and 5(a)) having a generally elliptical cross section is formed at the tip of the support shaft 41 and protrudes forward via a flange portion 41a. The engagement portion 41e is inserted into an insertion hole 34b formed in a protruding portion 34a of the retainer 34 of the reverse rotation prevention device 30, and is engaged with the protruding portion 34a so as to be swingable in the circumferential direction. Due to the engagement of this engagement portion 41e, the rotation operation of the support shaft 41 by the operating lever 42 (switching operation between a reverse rotation prevention state and a reverse rotation permitted state) is transmitted to the reverse rotation prevention device 30 side.

[0032] An operating lever 42 is attached to the rear end of the support shaft 41. The operating lever 42 is a lever for rotating the support shaft 41, and protrudes downward from the lower part of the body 10. The operating lever 42 is fixed to the support shaft 41 via a chamfered portion 41b formed on the outer surface of the support shaft 41 so as to be prevented from rotating. A distribution holding portion 41c is formed in a portion rearward of the center of the support shaft 41 (a portion near the front side of the operating lever 42). As shown in Fig. 4, the distribution holding portion 41c has an inverted triangular cross section. A lower straight portion 43c of the spring member 43, which will be described later, abuts against the top of the distribution holding portion 41c with a spring force.

[0033] The spring member 43 is formed by bending a leaf spring material having a desired thickness into a U-shape. As shown in FIG. 4, the spring member 43 has an arc-shaped bent portion 43a, an upper straight portion 43b as one straight portion continuing to the upper end of the bent portion 43a, and a lower straight portion 43c as the other straight portion continuing to the lower end of the bent portion 43a. Before the spring member 43 is attached, the upper straight portion 43b and the lower straight portion 43c are approximately parallel as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4. The upper straight portion 43b has a length greater than the length of the lower straight portion 43c in the left-right direction. The spring member 43 may be formed so that the length of the lower straight portion 43c is greater than the length of the upper straight portion 43b, or the length of the upper straight portion 43b and the length of the lower straight portion 43c are the same.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 4, the spring member 43 is attached to the body 10 from the tip side of the upper straight portion 43b and the lower straight portion 43c. With the spring member 43 attached to the body 10, the bent portion 43a protrudes laterally from the left side surface of the body 10. The lower straight portion 43c is biased toward the inside of the U-shape and abuts against the top of the distribution holding portion 41c of the support shaft 41 from below (the side opposite to the side where the upper straight portion 43b is arranged). Due to this abutment of the lower straight portion 43c, the reverse prevention device 30 (retainer 34) linked to the switching mechanism 40 is distributed and held between a reverse prevention position in which the reverse prevention state is established and a reverse permission position in which the reverse permission state is established. The lower straight portion 43c abuts against the distribution holding portion 41c and elastically deforms when the operating lever 42 is switched.

[0035] A groove 10d into which the upper straight portion 43b is inserted and a recess 10e into which the lower straight portion 43c is inserted are formed on the left side surface of the body 10. The groove 10d and the recess 10e are both open toward the left side of the body 10. The groove 10d has a size (depth) that allows the upper straight portion 43b to be inserted. The groove 10d has a flat abutment surface 10d1 as a wall surface against which (holds) the lower surface of the upper straight portion 43b abuts.

[0036] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the recess 10e has a size that accommodates the distribution holding portion 41c and the lower straight portion 43c of the support shaft 41. In other words, the recess 10e has a size that allows elastic deformation of the lower straight portion 43c when the operating lever 42 is switched. The spring member 43, the groove portion 10d, and the recess 10e are covered by a cover member 11 attached to the body 10, as shown in Figure 5(a). An accommodating recess 11e that accommodates the bent portion 43a of the spring member 43 is formed on the inner surface of the cover member 11. The left side surface of the bent portion 43a abuts against the inner surface of the accommodating recess 11e, and the accommodating recess 11e holds the bent portion 43a from the left side.

[0037] When attaching the spring member 43 to the body 10, as described above, the tip sides of the upper straight portion 43b and the lower straight portion 43c are brought close to the body 10, the tip of the upper straight portion 43b is inserted into the groove portion 10d, and the tip side of the lower straight portion 43c is inserted below the distribution holding portion 41c while spreading it slightly downward. Then, the spring member 43 is pushed into the body 10 by placing a finger on the left side of the bent portion 43a. This allows the spring member 43 to be attached to the body 10.

[0038] 5 and 6 are diagrams showing how the support shaft 41 is held in a distributed manner by the spring member 43. FIG. 5(a) and 6(a), when the support shaft 41 is rotated to the right in the figures by operating the operating lever 42, the distribution holding portion 41c is held in the reverse prevention position by the biasing force of the spring member 43. When the support shaft 41 is rotated to this reverse prevention position, the rotation of the support shaft 41 is transmitted to the retainer 34 via the engagement portion 41e, and the retainer 34 is rotated to the reverse prevention position. This brings the reverse prevention device 30 into the reverse prevention state.

[0039] 5(b) and 6(b), when the shaft 41 is rotated to the left in the figures by operating the operating lever 42, the distribution holding portion 41c is held in the reverse rotation permitting position by the biasing force of the spring member 43. When the shaft 41 is rotated to this reverse rotation permitting position, the rotation of the shaft 41 is transmitted to the retainer 34 via the engaging portion 41e, and the retainer 34 is rotated to the reverse rotation permitting position. This places the reverse rotation prevention device 30 in the reverse rotation preventing state. As shown in these figures, the support shaft 41 is held by the spring member 43 on the inside of the U-shape of the spring member 43. In other words, the support shaft 41 can be distributed and held by effectively utilizing the inner space of the U-shaped spring member 43.

[0040] Next, the space formed around the switching mechanism 40 will be described. As described above, the switching mechanism 40 of this embodiment is configured such that the support shaft 41 is inserted into the inside of the U-shaped recess of the spring member 43 (see FIG. 3). Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the support shaft and the spring member are arranged vertically, it is possible to suppress the upward protrusion of the spring member 43, and as a result, the installation space in the vertical direction of the switching mechanism 40 can be reduced. As a result, in this embodiment, the entire switching mechanism 40 is arranged shifted to the rear side of the body 10 while preventing interference with the drive shaft tube 6 and other components arranged above the switching mechanism 40. This arrangement of the switching mechanism 40 makes it possible to form a space 10s for the screw hole 10a around the spring member 43, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. A fixing screw 11a for fixing the cover member 11 is screwed into the screw hole 10a.

[0041] Here, in a configuration in which the support shaft and spring member are arranged one above the other, a large space is required at the bottom of the body to accommodate the spring member, and since this would interfere with the constituent members of the body, it is not possible to provide space for arranging a screw hole around the spring member; for example, it is necessary to form a screw hole at the bottom end of the body behind the switching mechanism. In contrast, in this embodiment, the screw hole 10a can be formed in the space 10s around the spring member 43, which is above the bottom end of the body 10, thereby improving the freedom of positional relationship with the other screw holes 10b, 10c.

[0042] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, three screw holes 10a to 10c are formed at equal intervals of 120 degrees around the drive gear shaft 2 to which the handle 3 is attached (the dashed lines drawn from the axis O1 of the drive gear shaft 2 through the centers of the screw holes 10a to 10c are evenly spaced). The screw hole 10b is formed in the upper part of the body 10, and a fixing screw 11b for fixing the upper part of the cover member 11 is screwed into the screw hole 10c. The screw hole 10c is formed in the rear part of the body 10, and a fixing screw 11c for fixing the rear part of the cover member 11 is screwed into the screw hole 10c. The screw holes 10a to 10c are not limited to those formed at equal intervals, and the screw holes 10b and 10c may be formed at different intervals from the screw hole 10a as a reference.

[0043] According to the present embodiment described above, the spindle 41 of the switching mechanism 40 is inserted inside the U-shaped spring member 43, and the rotation of the spindle 41 can be divided and held between the reverse prevention position and the reverse permission position, so that the dividing and holding portion 41c (dividing mechanism) can be accommodated within the installation space of the spring member 43. Therefore, the installation space for the switching mechanism 40 can be made smaller than when the spindle and the spring member are arranged side by side in the vertical direction of the body. This allows the reel body 1 to be made more compact.

[0044] Furthermore, since the installation space for the switching mechanism 40 can be reduced, the space for forming the front screw hole 10a for fixing the cover member 11 can be secured around the support shaft 41 and the spring member 43 (particularly, the front side of the spring member 43, etc.). This makes it possible to arrange the screw holes 10a to 10c at equal or approximately equal intervals around the drive gear shaft 2 to which the handle 3 is attached. Therefore, the cover member 11 can be attached to the body 10 in a balanced manner around the drive gear shaft 2, and the strength of the body 10 can be improved.

[0045] Furthermore, when attaching the spring member 43 to the body 10, the spring member 43 can be pushed in by placing a finger on the outer surface (left side surface) of the bent portion 43a, so that no special tools or the like are required for attachment, thereby improving productivity.

[0046] Furthermore, because the screw hole 10a can be formed by utilizing the space 10s around the spring member 43 of the switching mechanism 40 in the body 10, the degree of freedom in forming the three screw holes 10a to 10c is increased. Moreover, because the three screw holes 10a to 10c are formed at equal intervals around the drive gear shaft 2, the cover member 11 can be fixed to the body 10 in a balanced manner, and as a result, the strength of the body 10 can be improved.

[0047] In addition, since the lower straight portion 43c is urged toward the inside of the U-shape with the upper straight portion 43b as a support portion, it is easy to construct a structure in which the lower straight portion 43c abuts on the top of the distribution holding portion 41c, which is the outer surface of the support shaft 41, on the inside of the U-shape. Therefore, the structure of the switching mechanism 40 is simple and has excellent productivity.

[0048] Although the embodiments have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the examples shown in the embodiments. For example, in the above embodiment, the abutment surface 10d1 against which the lower surface of the upper straight portion 43b abuts is formed within the groove portion 10d, but this is not limited to this, and for example, a wall surface formed and exposed within the body 10 may be configured to be used as the abutment surface 10d1.

[0049] In addition, although the distribution holding portion 41c is shown formed to have an inverted triangular cross section, this is not limited to this, and various shapes can be used as long as they can distribute and hold the support shaft 41 between the reverse prevention position and the reverse permission position.
