Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In the conventional two-bearing reel, the pinion gear is rotatably supported by the frame using two members, namely, the positioning member and the bearing. In this case, the bearing is disposed on the clutch support member so that the rotation axis of the bearing coincides with the axis of the pinion gear. In this state, the bearing is positioned with respect to the frame by the positioning member.

[0006] In this configuration, even if the rotation axis of the bearing is aligned with the axis of the pinion gear, there is a risk that the rotation axis of the bearing may become misaligned with the axis of the pinion gear when the positioning member is attached to the frame. In other words, the accuracy of the pinion gear centering may decrease.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a double-bearing reel that can improve the accuracy of pinion gear centering. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] Regarding a first aspect of the present invention, the double-bearing reel comprises a frame, a pinion gear, a switching unit, a support member, and a holding member. The frame supports the handle shaft. The pinion gear is configured to transmit the rotation of the handle shaft to the spool shaft. The switching unit is configured to move between a connected position in which the spool shaft and the pinion gear are connected and a released position in which the spool shaft and the pinion gear are disconnected.

[0009] The support member supports the switching part that moves between the connected position and the released position. The retaining member has a bearing portion that rotatably supports the pinion gear and a retaining portion that is integrally formed with the bearing portion and holds the support member.

[0010] In the double-bearing reel relating to the first aspect of the present invention, the bearing portion of the retaining member and the retaining portion of the retaining member are integrally formed. The bearing portion of the retaining member rotatably supports the pinion gear, and the retaining portion of the retaining member holds the support member.

[0011] In this way, by forming the retaining member as a single member having a bearing portion and a retaining portion, the axis of the bearing portion can be easily aligned with the axis of the pinion gear. In other words, the accuracy of pinion gear centering can be improved in these two bearing reels. Furthermore, the manufacturing cost of the retaining member can be reduced in these two bearing reels.

[0012] With respect to a second aspect of the present invention, the two bearing reels relating to the first aspect may be configured as follows: The retaining portion is positioned at a distance from the pinion gear in the radial direction with respect to the axis of the pinion gear.

[0013] In the double-bearing reel according to the second aspect of the present invention, radial contact between the holding portion and the pinion gear can be avoided. That is, the pinion gear can be suitably supported by the bearing portion. Furthermore, the pinion gear can be rotated smoothly.

[0014] Regarding a third aspect of the present invention, the bearing reels relating to the first or second aspect may be configured as follows: The bearing portion is a sliding bush that slidably supports the pinion gear.

[0015] In the double-bearing reel according to the third aspect of the present invention, the bearing portion is constructed using sliding bushings, allowing the retaining member to be easily formed as a single component. Furthermore, the manufacturing cost of the retaining member can be reduced. In addition, the pinion gear can be rotated smoothly.

[0016] With respect to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the bearing reels relating to the first or second aspect may be configured as follows: The support member has a mounting portion that is attached to the frame, and a guide portion that is provided on the mounting portion and supports the switching portion. The mounting portion is positioned between the frame and the holding portion in the axial direction with respect to the axis of the pinion gear.

[0017] In the double bearing reel according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the mounting portion of the support member is positioned in the axial direction between the frame and the holding portion of the retaining member. This configuration allows the support member to be easily fixed to the frame. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] In this invention, the accuracy of pinion gear centering can be improved in a double-bearing reel. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, a double-bearing reel 1 adopting an embodiment of the present invention includes a reel body 3 that can be attached to a fishing rod, a handle 4 for spool rotation disposed on the side of the reel body 3, and a spool 7 rotatably attached to the reel body 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the double-bearing reel 1 further includes a rotation transmission mechanism 13, a clutch control device 30 (see FIG. 3), and a holding member 50.

[0021] Hereinafter, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rotation axis of the spool 7 is denoted as the spool axis X. Also, the direction in which the spool axis X extends and the direction along the spool axis X are denoted as the axial direction, and the direction around the spool axis X centered on the spool axis X is denoted as the circumferential direction (rotation direction). Further, the direction away from the spool axis X centered on the spool axis X is denoted as the radial direction.

[0022] <Reel body> As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the reel body 3 comprises a frame 5, a first side cover 6a and a second side cover 6b mounted to cover both sides of the frame 5, and a front cover 8 (see Figure 1) mounted in front of the frame 5.

[0023] As shown in Figure 3, the frame 5 supports the handle shaft 17. As shown in Figure 2, the frame 5 has a first side plate 9a and a second side plate 9b that are positioned opposite each other with a gap between them. The first side plate 9a and the second side plate 9b are connected by a connecting portion 9c.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the first side plate 9a has a first opening 9d. The bearing housing 16 is fixed to the first opening 9d. The clutch control device 30 (see Figure 3) is mounted on the second side plate 9b. The second side plate 9b has a second opening 9e through which the spool shaft 15 passes. The first side cover 6a is mounted on the first side plate 9a of the frame 5. The second side cover 6b is mounted on the second side plate 9b of the frame 5.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2, a rotation transmission mechanism 13 and a clutch control device 30 are arranged between the frame 5 and the second side cover 6b. As shown in Figure 3, a spool 7 and a clutch operating member 11 are arranged between the frame 5, for example, the first side plate 9a and the second side plate 9b. In other words, both bearing reels 1 further have a clutch operating member 11.

[0026] <Spool> As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the spool 7 is rotatably positioned between the first side plate 9a and the second side plate 9b. The spool 7 is attached to the spool shaft 15 so that it can rotate integrally with the spool shaft 15.

[0027] The spool shaft 15 is rotatably supported relative to the reel body 3. The axis of the spool shaft 15 is concentric with the rotation axis of the spool 7. For example, as shown in Figure 2, one end of the spool shaft 15 is rotatably supported relative to the first side plate 9a via a bearing 18a located in the bearing housing 16. The other end of the spool shaft 15 is rotatably supported by the second side cover 6b via a bearing 18b. An engagement pin 15a, which constitutes the clutch mechanism 25, is mounted on the spool shaft 15.

[0028] <Clutch operating component> As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the clutch operating member 11 is located at the rear of the reel body 3. The clutch operating member 11 is connected to the clutch control device 30. The clutch operating member 11 is configured to be movable between the clutch-on position shown in Figure 1 and the clutch-off position located below in Figure 1. The clutch operating member 11 is also used as a thumb rest when thumbing.

[0029] <Rotational transmission mechanism> The rotation transmission mechanism 13 shown in Figures 2 and 3 is for transmitting rotational force from the handle 4 to the spool 7. As shown in Figure 3, for example, the rotation transmission mechanism 13 includes a handle shaft 17, a drag mechanism 19, a drive gear 21, and a pinion gear 23.

[0030] A handle 4 is attached to the handle shaft 17. The handle shaft 17 is rotatably supported by the frame 5. More specifically, the handle shaft 17 is rotatably supported by the second side cover 6b and the frame 5. The drag mechanism 19 transmits the rotation of the handle shaft 17 to the drive gear 21 and also brakes the rotation of the spool 7 when the line is being dispensed. As shown in Figure 3, the drag mechanism 19 is positioned between the handle shaft 17 and the drive gear 21.

[0031] As shown in Figure 3, the drive gear 21 is rotatably mounted on the handle shaft 17. The rotation of the handle shaft 17 is transmitted to the drive gear 21 via the drag mechanism 19. When a torque exceeding a predetermined level is applied to the spool 7 during line payout, the drag mechanism 19 activates, causing the drive gear 21 to rotate relative to the handle shaft 17.

[0032] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the pinion gear 23 is configured to transmit the rotation of the handle shaft 17 to the spool shaft 15. More specifically, the pinion gear 23 transmits the rotation of the drive gear 21, which rotates together with the handle shaft 17, to the spool shaft 15.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2, the pinion gear 23 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. The pinion gear 23 is positioned radially outward of the spool shaft 15 so that it can move axially relative to the spool shaft 15. The pinion gear 23 is positioned radially outward of the spool shaft 15 so that it can rotate circumferentially with the spool shaft 15 via the clutch mechanism 25. The axis of the pinion gear 23 is concentric with the rotation axis of the spool 7.

[0034] The pinion gear 23 is positioned radially between the spool shaft 15 and the boss portion 9b1 erected on the second side plate 9b. More specifically, the pinion gear 23 is positioned radially between the spool shaft 15 and the retaining member 50. The pinion gear 23 is rotatably supported on the boss portion 9b1 of the second side plate 9b via the retaining member 50. The pinion gear 23 is rotatably supported on the second side cover 6b via the bearing 18c.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2, the pinion gear 23 has a toothed portion 23a, an engagement groove 23b, and a small-diameter portion 23c. The toothed portion 23a meshes with the drive gear 21. The engagement groove 23b is formed at the end of the pinion gear 23 and extends radially. The outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion in which the engagement groove 23b is formed is supported by the clutch support member 46 via the retaining member 50. The small-diameter portion 23c is formed between the toothed portion 23a and the engagement groove 23b. The clutch yoke 41 engages with the small-diameter portion 23c.

[0036] <Clutch mechanism> The clutch mechanism 25 is configured to be able to connect the handle 4 and the spool 7, and to be able to disconnect the handle 4 and the spool 7. As shown in Figure 2, the clutch mechanism 25 is composed of an engagement groove 23b of the pinion gear 23 and an engagement pin 15a of the spool shaft 15.

[0037] For example, when the pinion gear 23 moves along the spool shaft 15 away from the spool 7, the engagement groove 23b and the engagement pin 15a of the spool shaft 15 are released. This releases the connection between the spool shaft 15 and the pinion gear 23, resulting in a clutch-off state (disconnected state). In this case, the spool 7 becomes free to rotate.

[0038] On the other hand, when the pinion gear 23 moves along the spool shaft 15 toward the spool 7, the engagement groove 23b engages with the engagement pin 15a. This connects the spool shaft 15 and the pinion gear 23, resulting in a clutch-on state (connected state). In this case, the spool 7 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the handle shaft 17.

[0039] <Clutch control device> As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the clutch control device 30 is configured to control the clutch mechanism 25 in response to the operation of the clutch operating member 11. The clutch control device 30 includes a clutch yoke 41 (an example of a switching part), a clutch cam 43, and a clutch support member 46 (an example of a support member).

[0040] The clutch yoke 41 is used to switch the clutch mechanism 25 between a clutch-on state and a clutch-off state. The clutch yoke 41 is configured to be movable between a connected position in which the spool shaft 15 and the pinion gear 23 are connected, and a released position in which the spool shaft 15 and the pinion gear 23 are disconnected. The clutch yoke 41 is guided axially by the clutch cam 43 and the guide portion 46b (described later) of the clutch support member 46.

[0041] The connection position is the position where the clutch yoke 41 is positioned when the spool shaft 15 and the pinion gear 23 are connected. Figures 2 to 4 show the case when the clutch yoke 41 is in the connection position.

[0042] The release position is the position in which the clutch yoke 41 is positioned when the spool shaft 15 and the pinion gear 23 are disengaged. In the release position, the clutch yoke 41 moves to the right of the connected position in Figure 2 and away from the frame 5, for example, the second side plate 9b.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4, the clutch yoke 41 has an engagement recess 41a that can engage with the pinion gear 23 and a pair of first guide holes 41b. The engagement recess 41a engages with the small diameter portion 23c of the pinion gear 23 (see Figure 2).

[0044] A pair of first guide holes 41b penetrate the clutch yoke 41 in the axial direction. Each guide portion 46b of the clutch support member 46 is inserted through each first guide hole 41b. Both ends of the clutch yoke 41 engage with the clutch cam 43.

[0045] The clutch cam 43 shown in Figures 2 to 4 is used to switch the spool shaft 15 and the pinion gear 23 between a connected state and a disconnected state. In detail, the clutch cam 43 moves the clutch yoke 41 in the axial direction. This movement of the clutch yoke 41 switches the spool shaft 15 and the pinion gear 23 between a connected state and a disconnected state. A connecting member 42 is attached to the clutch cam 43.

[0046] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the clutch cam 43 is positioned on the clutch support member 46 so as to be rotatable around the spool axis X. The clutch cam 43 is positioned on the clutch support member 46 and is circumferentially rotatable relative to the clutch support member 46. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the clutch cam 43 is positioned axially by the retaining member 50.

[0047] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the connecting member 42 connects the clutch operating member 11 and the clutch cam 43. The connecting member 42 is mounted on the clutch cam 43. In the axial direction, the connecting member 42 is positioned between the clutch cam 43 and the mounting portion 46a of the clutch support member 46. When the clutch operating member 11 is operated, the clutch cam 43 rotates via the connecting member 42.

[0048] When the clutch cam 43 is rotated by the operation of the clutch operating member 11, the cam portion 43a presses against both ends of the clutch yoke 41. As a result, both ends of the clutch yoke 41 move axially away from the spool 7. This switches the clutch mechanism 25 from the clutch-on state to the clutch-off state.

[0049] On the other hand, when the clutch return mechanism (not shown) is activated by operating the handle 4, the clutch cam 43 rotates in the opposite direction to the rotation direction described above. As a result, both ends of the clutch yoke 41 move axially toward the spool 7. This switches the clutch mechanism 25 from the clutch-off state to the clutch-on state.

[0050] The clutch support member 46 shown in Figures 4 and 5 is mounted on the frame 5, for example, the second side plate 9b. The clutch support member 46 supports the clutch cam 43 so that it can rotate in the circumferential direction. The clutch support member 46 supports the clutch yoke 41 so that it can move in the axial direction. In particular, the clutch support member 46 supports the clutch yoke 41 so that it can move between the engaged position and the released position.

[0051] As shown in Figure 5, the clutch support member 46 has a mounting portion 46a, a guide portion 46b, a cam receiving portion 46c, and a bearing support portion 46d. The mounting portion 46a is positioned in the axial direction between the frame 5 and the holding portion 50b (described later) of the retaining member 50. More specifically, the mounting portion 46a is positioned in the axial direction between the second side plate 9b and the holding portion 50b of the retaining member 50. The mounting portion 46a is positioned in the axial direction between the second side plate 9b and the clutch cam 43. The mounting portion 46a is mounted on the frame 5. More specifically, the mounting portion 46a is fixed to the second side plate 9b by a fixing member, such as a screw member 51 (see Figure 4).

[0052] As shown in Figure 5, the guide portion 46b guides the clutch yoke 41 in the axial direction. The guide portion 46b is provided on the mounting portion 46a. The guide portion 46b includes a pair of guide portions. The pair of guide portions 46b protrude from the mounting portion 46a. In detail, the pair of guide portions 46b are formed integrally with the bearing support portion 46d. Each of the pair of guide portions 46b is substantially cylindrical and protrudes axially from the bearing support portion 46d. Each of the pair of guide portions 46b is spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction.

[0053] As shown in Figure 5, a pair of guide portions 46b are inserted through a pair of first guide holes 41b of the clutch yoke 41. In this state, a coil spring 44 is positioned on the outer circumference of each guide portion 46b (see Figure 2). For example, the coil spring 44 is positioned on the outer circumference of each guide portion 46b in a compressed state between the clutch yoke 41 and the second side cover 6b.

[0054] As shown in Figure 5, the cam support portion 46c is formed by the outer circumferential surface of the bearing support portion 46d. The cam support portion 46c rotatably supports the clutch cam 43. The clutch cam 43 is positioned on the outer circumferential side of the cam support portion 46c and is circumferentially rotatable relative to the cam support portion 46c.

[0055] As shown in Figure 5, the bearing support portion 46d is formed integrally with the mounting portion 46a. In Figure 5, the extent of the bearing support portion 46d is indicated by a dashed line. The bearing support portion 46d is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. In the radial direction, the bearing support portion 46d is positioned on the outer surface of the boss portion 9b1 of the second side plate 9b.

[0056] The clutch control device 30 operates as follows: When the clutch mechanism 25 is in the clutch-on state (engaged state), the clutch cam 43 is rotated by the operation of the clutch operating member 11, and the clutch yoke 41 is guided by a pair of guide portions 46b and moves axially away from the spool 7. This switches the clutch mechanism 25 from the clutch-on state to the clutch-off state (unengaged state).

[0057] On the other hand, when the clutch return mechanism (not shown) is activated by operating the handle 4, the clutch yoke 41 is biased by the coil spring 44 and moves axially towards the spool 7 along a pair of guide portions 46b. As a result, the clutch mechanism 25 returns from the clutch-off state to the clutch-on state.

[0058] <Retaining member> As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the retaining member 50 has a bearing portion 50a and a retaining portion 50b. The bearing portion 50a supports the pinion gear 23. More specifically, the bearing portion 50a supports the pinion gear 23 so that it can rotate in the circumferential direction. The bearing portion 50a supports the pinion gear 23 so that it can move in the axial direction. The axis of the bearing portion 50a is concentric with the axis of the pinion gear 23.

[0059] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the bearing portion 50a is a cylindrical sliding bush that slidably supports the pinion gear 23. The sliding bush may be made of resin or metal, for example. As shown in Figure 5, the bearing portion 50a is mounted on the second side plate 9b. More specifically, the bearing portion 50a is press-fitted onto the inner circumferential surface of the boss portion 9b1 of the second side plate 9b.

[0060] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the retaining portion 50b is integrally formed with the bearing portion 50a. The retaining portion 50b protrudes radially from the bearing portion 50a. The retaining portion 50b is substantially annular in shape. As shown in Figure 6, the retaining portion 50b is positioned radially apart from the pinion gear 23.

[0061] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the retaining portion 50b has a pair of second guide holes 50b1 and a plurality of recesses 50b2. The pair of second guide holes 50b1 penetrate the retaining portion 50b in the axial direction. As shown in Figure 5, each guide portion 46b of the clutch support member 46 is inserted through each second guide hole 50b1. In this way, the retaining portion 50b holds the pair of guide portions 46b. In detail, the retaining portion 50b holds the base ends of the pair of guide portions 46b.

[0062] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, a plurality of recesses 50b2, for example, four recesses 50b2, are provided on the outer circumference of the retaining portion 50b. The four recesses 50b2 are arranged at predetermined intervals on the outer circumference of the retaining portion 50b. Each of the four recesses 50b2 is formed in a concave shape radially inward from the outer surface of the retaining portion 50b and penetrates the retaining portion 50b in the axial direction. The retaining portion 50b is fixed to the second side plate 9b of the frame 5 by inserting a fixing member, for example, a screw member 51 (see Figure 4), axially through two of the four recesses 50b2.

[0063] As shown in Figure 5, the retaining portion 50b is positioned in the axial direction between the bearing portion 50a and the clutch yoke 41. The retaining portion 50b positions the clutch cam 43 relative to the mounting portion 46a in the axial direction. In detail, the clutch cam 43 and the connecting member 42 are positioned between the axial direction of the retaining portion 50b and the mounting portion 46a. In this state, the retaining portion 50b positions the clutch cam 43 and the connecting member 42 relative to the mounting portion 46a in the axial direction.

[0064] The double-bearing reel 1 described above has the following features. In the double-bearing reel 1, the bearing portion 50a and the holding portion 50b of the holding member 50 are integrally formed. The bearing portion 50a of the holding member 50 rotatably supports the pinion gear 23, and the holding portion 50b of the holding member 50 holds the clutch support member 46.

[0065] In this way, by forming the retaining member 50 as a single member having a bearing portion 50a and a retaining portion 50b, the axis of the bearing portion 50a can be easily aligned with the axis of the pinion gear 23. In other words, the accuracy of the centering of the pinion gear 23 can be improved in the double-bearing reel 1. Furthermore, the manufacturing cost of the retaining member 50 can be reduced in the double-bearing reel 1.

[0066] In the double-bearing reel 1, the retaining portion 50b is positioned at a distance from the pinion gear 23 in the radial direction with respect to the axis of the pinion gear 23, so that contact between the retaining portion 50b and the pinion gear 23 in the radial direction can be avoided. In other words, the pinion gear 23 can be suitably supported by the bearing portion 50a. Furthermore, the pinion gear 23 can be rotated smoothly.

[0067] In the double-bearing reel 1, the bearing portion 50a is constructed using a sliding bush, allowing the retaining member 50 to be easily formed as a single component. This also reduces the manufacturing cost of the retaining member 50. Furthermore, it enables the pinion gear 23 to rotate smoothly.

[0068] In the double-bearing reel 1, the mounting portion 46a of the clutch support member 46 is positioned in the axial direction between the frame 5 and the holding portion 50b of the holding member 50, so that the clutch support member 46 can be easily fixed to the frame 5.

[0069] <Other Embodiments> Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0070] (a) In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the pinion gear 23 is moved in the axial direction using a clutch cam 43 and a clutch yoke 41. Alternatively, the pinion gear 23 may be moved in the axial direction using a mechanism other than the clutch cam 43 and clutch yoke 41. [Explanation of symbols]
