[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 4370523 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the conventional fishing line tying aid, if the fishing line's payout resistance is not appropriate, the fishing line cannot be properly wound around the leader line when the fishing line tying aid is rotated around the leader line. Therefore, the user needs to adjust the adjustment member through trial and error. In addition, since the user adjusts the adjustment member by feel, it is difficult to reproduce the same winding torque as the adjustment after adjusting the adjustment member.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing line tying aid that can suitably set the winding torque of a fishing line. [Means for solving the problem]

The fishing line is wound around the outer circumferential surface of the first body portion 31 between the first flange 33 and the second flange 34 in the axial direction.

[0022] The third flange 35 extends radially outward from the other end of the first main body portion 31. The third flange 35 is formed in an annular shape. The third flange 35 is disposed at a distance from the second flange 34 in the axial direction.

[0023] 2, the annular recess 36 is provided on the radially inner side of the first flange 33. The annular recess 36 is formed in an annular and concave shape by the first flange 33 and the supported portion 32. In detail, the annular recess 36 is formed in an annular shape by the radially inner side surface of the first flange 33 and the axially outer side surface of the supported portion 32. The friction member 15 is disposed in the annular recess 36.

[0024] 2, the line stopper 5 is used to lock the tip of a fishing line. The line stopper 5 is formed in a ring shape. In this embodiment, the line stopper 5 is preferably a ring-shaped elastic member.

[0025] A slit 5a for locking the tip of the fishing line is formed in the line stopper 5. The line stopper 5 is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the first main body portion 31 between the second flange 34 and the third flange 35.

[0026] 2, the shaft portion 7 supports the rotor 3 rotatably about an axis X2. In detail, the shaft portion 7 has a head portion 37 and a shaft body 38. The head portion 37 abuts against the arm portion 11. A male thread 38a is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body 38.

[0027] Shaft body 38 screws into hole 11a of arm portion 11 and is fixed to arm portion 11. In this state, shaft body 38 rotatably supports rotor 3 via collar member 9. A pair of engagement surfaces 38b extending in the axial direction is formed on the outer circumferential surface of shaft body 38. The pair of engagement surfaces 38b engage with sound producing plates 47 of sound producing structure 19, which will be described later.

[0028] The collar member 9 is disposed between the shaft portion 7 and the rotating body 3 in the radial direction. In detail, the collar member 9 is disposed between the shaft main body 38 of the shaft portion 7 and the supported portion 32 of the rotating body 3 in the radial direction.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, the arm portion 11 is provided with the shaft portion 7. In detail, as described above, the shaft body 38 of the shaft portion 7 is fixed to the arm portion 11. The arm portion 11 extends in a radial direction relative to the shaft portion 7. The guide portion 13 is provided at the tip of the arm portion 11. The guide portion 13 guides the fishing line. The guide portion 13 is disposed at a distance from the rotating body 3 in the radial direction. The guide portion 13 is formed in a tubular shape. The fishing line is inserted into the guide portion 13.

[0030] The friction member 15 is disposed between the rotating body 3 and the arm portion 11. Specifically, the friction member 15 is formed in an annular shape. The friction member 15 is disposed between the annular recess 36 of the rotating body 3 and the arm portion 11 in the axial direction. The friction member 15 contacts the bottom surface of the annular recess 36 of the rotating body 3 and the inner surface of the arm portion 11.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 2, the rotation adjustment unit 17 is used to adjust the rotation of the rotating body 3. The rotation adjustment unit 17 presses the rotating body 3 toward the arm unit 11. The rotation adjustment unit 17 has an operation unit 39 and a coil spring 40 (an example of a biasing member). The operation unit 39 is attached to the shaft unit 7. The operation unit 39 has a knob member 41 and a pressing member 42.

[0032] The knob member 41 screws into the shaft portion 7. For example, the knob member 41 has a first member 43 and a second member 44. The first member 43 screws into the shaft portion 7. The rotation center of the first member 43 is concentric with the axis center X2 of the shaft portion 7. When the first member 43 rotates in a first rotation direction, the first member 43 moves in a first axial direction D1 approaching the arm portion 11. When the first member 43 rotates in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction, the first member 43 moves in a second axial direction D2 away from the arm portion 11. The first member 43 presses the pressing member 42.

[0033] 2, the first member 43 has an annular connecting portion 43a and a mounted portion 43b. An internal thread 43a1 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the connecting portion 43a. The internal thread 43a1 of the connecting portion 43a is screwed into the external thread 38a of the shaft body 38 of the shaft portion 7.

[0034] A plurality of teeth 43a2 are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting portion 43a. The teeth 43a2 are arranged at intervals from one another in the circumferential direction. Each of the teeth 43a2 extends in the axial direction. The mounted portion 43b is formed integrally with the connecting portion 43a. The mounted portion 43b protrudes in the axial direction from the connecting portion 43a. The second member 44 is mounted to the mounted portion 43b.

[0035] 2, the second member 44 rotates integrally with the first member 43. The center of rotation of the second member 44 is concentric with the axis X2 of the shaft portion 7. In detail, the second member 44 is disposed radially outward of the first member 43. The second member 44 covers the tip end of the mounted portion 43b of the first member 43.

[0036] The second member 44 has a fixing hole 44a. The fixing hole 44a extends in the radial direction. The fixing member 45 is inserted into the fixing hole 44a. The fixing member 45 abuts against a recess 43b1 provided on the outer surface of the mounted portion 43b of the first member 43. In this way, the second member 44 is fixed to the first member 43.

[0037] In this state, the second member 44 is disposed axially apart from the third flange 35 of the rotating body 3. Specifically, a space S for exposing the gauge portion 21 is formed between the second member 44 and the third flange 35 of the rotating body 3 in the axial direction.

[0038] 2, the pressing member 42 is pressed by the knob member 41 and presses the coil spring 40. In detail, the pressing member 42 is pressed by the first member 43 of the knob member 41 and presses the coil spring 40 via the sound-producing structure 19. The pressing member 42 has a second main body portion 48 and a plurality of holes 49.

[0039] The second main body portion 48 is formed in an annular shape. The second main body portion 48 is disposed radially outward of the connecting portion 43a of the first member 43. A plurality of groove portions 48a are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the second main body portion 48. The plurality of groove portions 48a are disposed at intervals from one another in the circumferential direction. Each of the plurality of groove portions 48a extends in the axial direction. The plurality of groove portions 48a engage with the plurality of tooth portions 43a2 of the connecting portion 43a. That is, spline engagement is realized by the plurality of groove portions 48a and the plurality of tooth portions 43a2.

[0040] Each of the plurality of holes 49 is formed in a concave shape on the axial outer surface of the second main body portion 48. Each of the plurality of holes 49 opens toward the arm portion 11. The total number of the plurality of holes 49 is preferably three or more. In the present embodiment, the total number of the plurality of holes 49 is four.

[0041] 2, the sound producing structure 19 is configured to produce sound when the operating unit 39 is operated. The sound producing structure 19 has the above-mentioned multiple hole portions 49, multiple rolling elements 46, and a sound producing plate 47. The multiple rolling elements 46, for example, four rolling elements 46, are respectively disposed in the multiple hole portions 49. In this state, the multiple rolling elements 46 come into contact with the sound producing plate 47.

[0042] The sounding plate 47 is an annular plate member. For example, the inner peripheral surface of the sounding plate 47 forms a rectangular hole 47a. The rectangular hole 47a engages with a pair of engagement surfaces 38b of the shaft body 38. Due to this non-circular engagement, the sounding plate 47 is attached to the shaft portion 7 so as to be movable in the axial direction but not rotatable in the circumferential direction.

[0043] The sound producing plate 47 is disposed axially between the pressing member 42 and the coil spring 40. In detail, the sound producing plate 47 is disposed axially between the plurality of rolling elements 46 and the coil spring 40.

[0044] A plurality of sound-emitting recesses 47b are formed in the sounding plate 47. Each of the plurality of sound-emitting recesses 47b extends in the radial direction. The plurality of sound-emitting recesses 47b are arranged at intervals from one another in the circumferential direction.

[0045] The sound-producing recesses 47b come into contact with the rolling elements 46. As the pressing member 42 rotates, each of the rolling elements 46 repeatedly disengages from the sound-producing recesses 47b and engages with the sound-producing recesses 47b adjacent thereto in the circumferential direction. In this manner, the rolling elements 46 and the sound-producing recesses 47b repeatedly collide with each other, generating collision sounds.

[0046] 2, the coil spring 40 is disposed between the operation unit 39 and the rotating body 3. In detail, the coil spring 40 is disposed in the axial direction between the pressing member 42 of the operation unit 39 and the supported part 32 of the rotating body 3. In more detail, the coil spring 40 is disposed in the axial direction between the pressing member 42 of the operation unit 39 and the supported part 32 of the rotating body 3 via the sound generating plate 47. In this embodiment, the coil spring 40 is disposed in the axial direction between the sound generating plate 47 and the supported part 32 of the rotating body 3.

[0047] 1, 3, and 4, the gauge portion 21 indicates the amount of movement of the rotation adjustment portion 17. The amount of movement is the amount of movement in the axial direction. In particular, the gauge portion 21 indicates the amount of movement of the rotation adjustment portion 17 relative to the rotating body 3. More particularly, the gauge portion 21 indicates the amount of movement of the pressing member 42 of the operation portion 39 relative to the third flange 35 of the rotating body 3.

[0048] 1, the gauge portion 21 is provided in the rotation adjustment portion 17. In detail, the gauge portion 21 is provided in the pressing member 42 of the operation portion 39. In this embodiment, the gauge portion 21 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the pressing member 42. At least a portion of the gauge portion 21 is exposed from the space S described above.

[0049] 1, 3, and 4, the gauge section 21 is indicated by a number of circles. The gauge section 21 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the pressing member 42 such that the number of circles aligned in a circumferential direction increases as the operating section 39 approaches the rotating body 3. The gauge section 21 may be formed on the pressing member 42 in any manner as long as it allows the user to visually recognize the amount of movement of the operating section 39.

[0050] The fishing line tying aid 1 is operated and operates as follows. First, in the state shown in Fig. 1, the tip of the fishing line is inserted into the guide portion 13 and engaged with the line stopper 5. Next, the fishing line is wound around the first main body portion 31 of the rotating body 3 between the first flange 33 of the rotating body 3 and the second flange 34 of the rotating body 3.

[0051] Next, when the user rotates the knob member 41 in the first rotation direction, the knob member 41 moves in the first axial direction D1 while rotating in the first rotation direction. In conjunction with the movement of the knob member 41, the pressing member 42 moves in the first axial direction D1 while rotating in the first rotation direction. This causes the fishing line tying aid 1 to change from the state shown in FIG. 1 to the state shown in FIG. 3 and then to the state shown in FIG. 4.

[0052] Here, when the pressing member 42 rotates in the first rotation direction, the sound-producing structure 19 is activated to produce a sound. At this time, the pressing member 42 moves in the first axial direction D1, and the coil spring 40 is compressed by the sound-producing plate 47. As the compression amount of the coil spring 40 increases, the frictional force between the friction member 15 and the recess of the rotating body 3 and the frictional force between the friction member 15 and the arm portion 11 increase. In other words, the more the operating unit 39 is rotated in the first rotation direction, the greater the rotational resistance of the rotating body 3 relative to the arm portion 11.

[0053] On the other hand, when the user rotates the knob member 41 in the second rotation direction, the fishing line tying aid 1 performs an operation opposite to that performed when the user rotates the knob member 41 in the first rotation direction. That is, when the user rotates the knob member 41 in the second rotation direction, the compression amount of the coil spring 40 decreases, and the rotational resistance of the rotating body 3 relative to the arm portion 11 decreases.

[0054] As described above, when the knob member 41 is rotated in the first rotation direction, the pressing member 42 moves in the first axial direction D1. On the other hand, when the knob member 41 is rotated in the second rotation direction, the pressing member 42 moves in the second axial direction D2.

[0055] After this rotation operation, the user can visually check the gauge portion 21 from the radially outside through the space S. Specifically, the user can visually check the current amount of movement of the operating portion 39 relative to the third flange 35 of the rotating body 3 by using the gauge portion 21 in Fig. 1, the gauge portion 21 in Fig. 3, and the gauge portion 21 in Fig. 4. In this way, with the fishing line tying aid 1, the user can suitably set the winding torque of the fishing line while checking the amount of movement of the operating portion 39 by using the gauge portion 21.

[0056] Furthermore, since the fishing line tying aid 1 includes the rotating body 3 and the friction member 15 disposed between the arm portion 11, it is possible to provide the rotating body 3 with an appropriate rotational resistance.

[0057] Furthermore, in the fishing line tying aid 1, the coil spring 40 is disposed between the operating part 39 and the rotating body 3, so that the operating part 39 can suitably press the rotating body 3 against the arm part 11 via the coil spring 40.

[0058] Furthermore, in the fishing line tying aid 1, the operating part 39 is made up of the knob member 41 and the pressing member 42, so that the operating part 39 can be easily assembled and disassembled. This makes it easy to maintain the fishing line tying aid 1.

[0059] Furthermore, in the fishing line tying aid 1, the knob member 41 is made up of the first member 43 and the second member 44, so that the knob member 41 can be easily assembled and disassembled. This makes it easy to maintain the fishing line tying aid 1.

[0060] Second embodiment In the fishing line tying aid 101 of the second embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 to 8, a gauge portion 121 is provided on a shaft portion 107. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0061] 5, 7, and 8, in fishing line tying aid 101, the tip of shaft 107 protrudes in the axial direction from the tip of knob member 41. In detail, the tip of shaft 107 is exposed axially outward from the tip of second member 144 of knob member 41.

[0062] 6, the mounted portion 143b of the first member 143 further has a first hole portion 143b1. The first hole portion 143b1 axially passes through the mounted portion 143b of the first member 143. The shaft portion 7 is inserted through the first hole portion 143b1 such that the axis X2 of the shaft portion 107 passes through the center of the first hole portion 143b1.

[0063] The second member 144 further has a second hole portion 144b. The second hole portion 144b axially penetrates a tip portion of the second member 144. The shaft portion 107 is inserted into the second hole portion 144b such that the axis X2 of the shaft portion 107 passes through the center of the second hole portion 144b. In this state, the tip portion of the shaft portion 107 protrudes axially outward from the second hole portion 144b.

[0064] As in the first embodiment, the gauge portion 121 indicates the amount of movement of the rotation adjustment portion 17. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the gauge portion 121 is provided on the shaft portion 107. More specifically, the gauge portion 121 is provided on the tip portion of the shaft portion 107. In this embodiment, the gauge portion 121 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the tip portion of the shaft portion 107. At least a portion of the gauge portion 121 is exposed from the tip surface of the second member 144.

[0065] For example, as shown in Fig. 5 to Fig. 8, gauge portion 121 is indicated by a triangular mark. Gauge portion 121 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of shaft portion 107 such that the width of the triangular mark increases as operation portion 139 approaches arm portion 11. Gauge portion 121 may be formed on shaft portion 107 in any manner as long as it allows the user to visually recognize the amount of movement of operation portion 139.

[0066] In the configuration of the second embodiment, after rotating the knob member 41, the user can visually confirm the amount of movement of the operating part 39 relative to the shaft part 107 by looking at the gauge part 121 in Fig. 5, the gauge part 121 in Fig. 7, or the gauge part 121 in Fig. 8 from the radially outer side. This allows the user to suitably set the winding torque of the fishing line in the fishing line tying aid 101 while checking the amount of movement of the operating part 39 by the gauge part 121.

[0067] (Other embodiments) (A) The gauge portion 21 of the first embodiment may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the pressing member 42 of the second embodiment.

[0068] (B) In the first and second embodiments, examples have been shown in which the amount of movement of the operating portion 39 is visually confirmed by the gauge portion 21, 121. In the first embodiment, the gauge portion 21 is provided on the pressing member 42 of the operating portion 39. In the second embodiment, the gauge portion 121 is provided on the shaft portion 107. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, the gauge portion 221 may be provided on the second member 44 of the knob member 41.

[0069] In this case, the fishing line tying aid 201 is configured so that the user can visually confirm the amount of movement of the operating part 39 by the amount of rotation of the operating part 39. The fishing line tying aid 201 further includes a cover member 51. The cover member 51 has a cover main body 51a and an attachment portion 51b. The cover main body 51a partially covers the second member 44. Specifically, the cover main body 51a covers a portion of the second member 44 on the rotating body 3 side. The cover main body 51a has a window portion 51c. The cover main body 51a is fixed to the arm portion 11 via the attachment portion 51b.

[0070] The gauge section 221 is indicated by a plurality of numbers. Any one of the numbers of the gauge section 221 is exposed from the window section 51c of the cover body 51a. The gauge section 221 is formed on the outer surface of the second member 44 of the knob member 41 so that the number becomes larger as the operating section 39 approaches the rotating body 3. The gauge section 221 may be formed in any manner as long as the user can visually confirm the amount of movement of the operating section 39. Even with this configuration, the user can suitably set the winding torque of the fishing line while checking the amount of movement of the operating section 39 by the gauge section 221.

[0071] (C) The fishing line tying aid 1 may be configured so that the head 37 of the shaft portion 7 in the first embodiment moves in a first axial direction D1 away from the outer surface of the arm portion 11 and a second axial direction D2 toward the outer surface of the arm portion 11.

[0072] In this case, the gauge portion is provided at the base end portion (the portion on the head 37 side of the shaft portion 7) of the shaft body 38 of the shaft portion 7. The first member 43 engages with the shaft portion 107 so that the connecting portion 43a of the first member 43 rotates integrally with the shaft body 38 of the shaft portion 7. As a result, by rotating the knob member 41, the head 37 of the shaft portion 7 moves in the first axial direction D1 or the second axial direction D2.

[0073] In this state, when the knob member 41 is rotated, the base end of the shaft body 38 of the shaft portion 7, i.e., the gauge portion, is exposed between the head portion 37 of the shaft portion 7 and the outer surface of the arm portion 11 in the axial direction. Even with this configuration, the user can suitably set the winding torque of the fishing line while checking the amount of movement of the operating portion 39 by the gauge portion.

[0074] (D) The fishing line tying aid 1, 101 may further include a locking structure that restricts movement of the rotation adjustment part 17 relative to at least one of the rotating body 3 and the shaft part 7, 107. This locking structure allows the winding torque of the fishing line to be fixed at a torque desired by the user.

[0075] (E) In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the first member 43 and the second member 44 were separate members, but the first member 43 and the second member 44 may be formed as a single unit. [Explanation of symbols]
