Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing reel equipped with a variable brake that displaces in the axial direction of the spool and a magnet that displaces in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fishing reel that applies a variable brake to the spool, automatically adjusting the distance between the variable brake and the magnet using centrifugal force generated by the rotational speed of the spool, and further allowing the position of a holder to which the magnet is attached to be adjusted with a dial. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, when casting a fishing reel, the rotation speed of the spool that unravels the fishing line becomes faster than the flight speed of the lure, resulting in a shorter flight distance of the lure or tangled fishing line, which is called a backlash phenomenon.

[0003] To prevent such backlash, fishing reels use two types of brakes: a friction brake that uses physical friction and a magnetic brake that uses magnetic attraction.

[0004] Of these, magnetic brakes are non-contact brakes that differ from friction brakes, and use the magnetic properties of multiple magnets attached to the reel body to exert a magnetic attraction on the rotating spool, slowing down the spool's rotational speed.

[0005] Conventional magnetic brakes have a ring-shaped plate attached to one side of the spool, and multiple magnets arranged in a circle on one side, spaced apart from the plate, so that the magnets and the plate face each other. When the spool rotates at high speed, the magnetic force of the magnets acts on the plate, generating a braking force and preventing backlash.

[0006] Such a conventional magnetic brake is configured to adjust the braking force by adjusting the gap by moving a holder to which the magnet is attached in the axial direction of the spool.

[0007] However, conventional magnetic brakes adjust the minute gap between the magnet and plate, which are arranged facing each other, so the braking force adjustment range is narrow. Therefore, if the holder's movement distance is increased to widen the braking force adjustment range, the fishing reel body will become correspondingly larger, which is a problem. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a fishing reel that combines all the advantages of conventional centrifugal brakes, magnetic brakes, and inertia brakes, such as prevention of pad wear, prevention of reduction in casting distance and backlash when the spool rotates at low speeds, and compatibility with left-handed and right-handed handles, and is equipped with a variable brake that displaces in the axial direction of the spool and a magnet that displaces in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool so that the user can adjust the braking force to suit their own fishing style. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To achieve the above object, a fishing reel according to the present invention includes a spool, which is axially mounted on a reel body with a shaft passing therethrough and on which fishing line is wound; a variable brake having a facing portion formed in the circumferential direction of the spool, which is connected to one end of the shaft so as to move back and forth in the axial direction of the spool and is elastically supported toward the spool; a magnet holder provided in the circumferential direction of the facing portion, which is connected to move back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool in the direction of the inner or outer surface of the facing portion, and which includes a magnet attached so as to have a surface facing the facing portion; and braking force adjustment means for moving the magnet holder back and forth.

[0010] In addition, in the fishing reel according to the present invention, the braking force adjustment means is characterized by including a dial cam having a cam portion that rotates in the circumferential direction of the spool on one side of the magnet holder and presses the magnet holder in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool to move it forward and backward, and an operating dial that is provided on the side cover and rotates the dial cam.

[0011] In addition, in the fishing reel according to the present invention, the magnet holder includes a pressed protrusion protruding from one side, and the cam portion is formed in the circumferential direction on the other side of the dial cam, and is composed of a pressing groove portion into which the pressed protrusion is inserted and which is formed so that the distance from the center of the dial cam gradually increases from one side end to the other side end, thereby pressing the pressed protrusion.

[0012] Furthermore, the fishing reel according to the present invention is characterized in that it includes a spool cover having a receiving portion formed on one side of the magnet holder in which the holder is received, and a guide groove that guides the magnet holder in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] The fishing reel of the present invention is equipped with a variable brake that displaces in the axial direction of the spool and a magnet that displaces in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool, thereby combining the advantages of conventional centrifugal brakes, magnetic brakes, and inertia brakes, and allowing users to adjust the braking force to suit their fishing style.

[0021] The terms "first," "second," etc. used in this specification are intended to distinguish between different components and do not limit the manufacturing procedure, and the names may not be consistent between the detailed description of the invention and the claims.

[0022] In describing the fishing reel of the present invention, for convenience, a loosely general directional reference will be specified with reference to FIG. 1. Up, down, left, and right are determined based on the direction of view, with the direction of gravity acting as the bottom. In the detailed description and claims of the invention relating to other figures, directions will be specified and described based on this reference unless otherwise specified.

[0023] A fishing reel according to the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the fishing reel according to the present invention broadly comprises a spool 10, a variable brake 20, a spool cover 30, a magnet holder 40, a locking lever 50, a dial cam 60, an operating dial 70, and a side cover 80, and the dial cam 60 and the operating dial 70 constitute a braking force adjustment means.

[0025] First, the drawings in this specification show an embodiment in which a palm side cover 80, to which a spool cover 30 is attached, is detachably attached to one side end of a frame (not shown). Here, the detachable structure of the palm side cover 80 can be modified in various ways.

[0026] In the drawing, a locking lever 50 is connected to the inside of the side cover 80 so as to rotate around the outer circumferential surface of the spool cover 30 as an axis, and an embodiment can be seen in which the locking protrusion 52 is attached to and detached from the frame in an engaging manner by rotating the locking lever 50 using a handle 51.

[0027] The remaining basic components of the fishing reel, such as the frame, which are not shown in the drawings, are well known and will not be described here for ease of understanding.

[0028] Specifically, the present invention includes a spool 10 that is axially mounted on the reel body by passing a shaft 11 through it and on which fishing line is wound; a variable brake 20 that has a facing portion 21 formed in the circumferential direction of the spool 10, is connected to one end of the shaft 11 so as to move back and forth in the axial direction of the spool 10, and is elastically supported toward the spool 10; a magnet holder 40 that is provided in the circumferential direction of the facing portion 21, is connected to move back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool 10 in the direction of the inner or outer surface of the facing portion 21, and includes a magnet 41 that is mounted so as to have a surface facing the facing portion 21; and a braking force adjustment means that moves the magnet holder 40 back and forth.

[0029] The braking force adjusting means includes a dial cam 60 having a cam portion that rotates in the circumferential direction of the spool 10 on one side of the magnet holder 40 and presses the magnet holder 40 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool 10 to move it forward and backward, and an operating dial 70 that is provided on the side cover 80 and rotates the dial cam 60.

[0030] Here, the opposing surfaces of the magnet 41 refer to a form in which both surfaces, each having a certain area or more where a large magnetic force is generated, face each other on the inside and outside perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool 10. The drawings in this specification show an example in which the magnet holder 40 is arranged toward the inner surface of the opposing portion 21 to form the opposing surfaces of the magnet 41, but the magnet holder 40 can also be arranged toward the outer surface of the opposing portion 21 to form the opposing surfaces of the magnet 41.

[0031] On the other hand, in the case of conventional magnet holders, the magnet facing the axial direction of the spool has a shape facing one side plate of the spool, and the magnetic force of the magnet acts in the axial direction of the spool, whereas the present invention is characterized in that the magnetic force of magnet 41 acts in the diameter direction of spool 10, perpendicular to the axial direction of spool 10.

[0032] Here, the variable brake 20 has a ring shape in which the facing portion 21 is arranged parallel to the spool 10 in the axial direction of the spool 10 so as to face one of the inner and outer facing surfaces of the magnet 41.

[0033] Furthermore, the drawings in this specification typically show a deep spool in which flange portions 12 are connected so as to protrude on both sides along the periphery of the side wall portion that is bent at nearly right angles (approximately 80 to 90 degrees) at both ends of the spool 10, increasing the outer diameter, but this is not limited to this (for example, the entire spool 10 may be formed in the shape of a perfect cylinder).

[0034] The spool 10 has a pipe-shaped shaft coupling portion 13 provided therein in the axial direction, and the shaft 11 passes through the shaft coupling portion 13 to be coupled thereto.

[0035] In addition, a support cap 15 is connected to one end of the shaft 11 by a binding ring 14 such as a C-ring, and one end of a compression spring 16 is supported by the support cap 15, and the other end of the compression spring 16 is supported by the variable brake 20, so that the variable brake 20 receives a backward pressure that presses it toward the spool 10.

[0036] The variable brake 20 is A shaft insertion portion (22) protrudes from the center of one side, through which the shaft (11) is inserted and connected, and the diameter of the shaft insertion portion (22) gradually increases in one direction, and the facing portion (21) is connected to the end of the shaft insertion portion (22) in a flange-shaped cylindrical shape, and one side is open. In order to reduce the weight of the variable brake 20, a plurality of through holes 23 are provided in a radial arrangement.

[0037] Meanwhile, the variable brake 20 includes a fixed cam 24 connected to an opening on one side of the spool 10 so that the variable brake 20 can move forward and backward in the axial direction of the spool 10 due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the spool 10, and a variable cam 25 connected to the other side (inner side) of the variable brake 20.

[0038] The fixed cam 24 and the variable cam 25 have an interlocking structure and are coupled to each other in a male-female manner, and the contact surfaces have cam inclined portions 241 and 251 formed to have corresponding predetermined inclinations.

[0039] Here, when the spool 10 rotates at an accelerated speed, the first cam inclined portion 241 of the fixed cam 24 fixed to the spool 10 pushes the second cam inclined portion 251 of the variable cam 25 connected to the variable brake 20 to one side (outside), causing the variable brake 20 to move forward away from the spool 10, and when the spool 10 rotates at a decelerated speed, the elastic force of the compression spring 16 causes the variable cam 25 to move backward and return to its original position.

[0040] Here, the forward movement distance of the variable brake 20 varies depending on the centrifugal force, i.e., the rotational speed of the spool 10, and the magnitude of the magnetic force of the magnet 41 acting on the facing portion 21 varies, so the braking force is appropriately adjusted depending on the rotational speed of the spool 10.

[0041] The spool cover 30 covers the facing portion 21 of the variable brake 20 when coupled to the side cover 80, thereby preventing the spool 10 and the variable brake 20 from coming off.

[0042] The spool cover 30 is divided by a central partition wall and has a drum shape with both sides open, and the magnet holder 40 is attached to the receiving portion 31 open on the other side.

[0043] In such a spool cover 30, a shaft-mounted portion 32 is protruded from the center of the accommodating portion 31, a support member 33 and a bearing 34 are attached to the shaft-mounted portion 32, and one side end of the shaft 11 is inserted into the bearing 34 and supported.

[0044] The spool cover 30 further includes a fixing plate 35 that covers the magnet holder 40 and is coupled to a receiving portion 31 that is an opening on the other side of the spool cover 30 .

[0045] The bearing 34 is inserted into the fixing plate 35, which covers the other opening of the mounting groove 42 in which the magnet 41 is mounted, thereby preventing the magnet 41 from being detached or separated from the magnet holder 40.

[0046] Meanwhile, a shaft protrusion 36 is protruded from one side opening of the spool cover 30, and the dial cam 60 is axially mounted on the shaft protrusion 36. A guide groove is formed in the partition wall of the spool cover 30 in the forward and backward directions of the magnet holder 40.

[0047] The guide groove is composed of a first guide groove 37 into which the pressed protrusion 44 of the magnet holder 40 is inserted, and a second guide groove 38 into which the guide protrusion 45 of the magnet holder 40 is inserted.

[0048] Here, the number and arrangement of the guide protrusions 45 and second guide grooves 38 can be variously changed. In the drawings, an embodiment can be seen in which the guide protrusions 45 and second guide grooves 38 are provided on both sides of the central pressed protrusion 44 and first guide groove 37, respectively.

[0049] Next, the magnet holder 40 slides in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool 10 at the opening on the other side of the spool cover 30. In the drawings, two magnet holders 40 each having a semicircular arc shape are coupled to face each other with the shaft mounting portion 32 as a reference, so that the magnets 41 are arranged in a circle like the facing portion 21, but the number of magnet holders 40 can be changed.

[0050] The magnet holder 40 has radially arranged mounting grooves 42, each of which has an opening at one end of its outer periphery and an opening at the other end (inner side), and a magnet 41 is inserted into each mounting groove 42. The shape and number of the magnets 41 are not limited.

[0051] However, it is preferable that a plurality of coin-shaped magnets 41 can be attached to a single magnet holder 40 so that the number of magnets 41 can be adjusted and set for each user.

[0052] Further, an arc-shaped plate 43 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the magnet holder 40, on which the magnetic force of the magnet 41 acts.

[0053] The arc-shaped plate 43 prevents the magnets 41 from coming off by the attractive force acting between the magnets 41 and the arc-shaped plate 43 .

[0054] The arc-shaped plate 43 is made of a metal material or a magnet of a polarity different from that of the magnet 41, and each magnet 41 is attached to the center of the magnet holder 40 by magnetic force and is covered by the fixing plate 35, thereby preventing the magnet 41 from being detached or separated from the mounting groove 42.

[0055] The magnet holder 40 also includes a pressure-receiving protrusion 44 and a guide protrusion 45 protruding from one side thereof.

[0056] The pressed protrusion 44 has a circular rod shape and passes through the first guide groove 37 and is inserted into the pressing groove portion 61 of the dial cam 60, and the guide protrusion 45 has a rectangular shape and is inserted into the second guide groove 38 to guide the forward and backward movement of the magnet holder 40.

[0057] When the dial cam 60 rotates, the cam portion (pressing groove portion 61) presses the pressed projection 44 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the spool 10, thereby moving the magnet holder 40 forward and backward.

[0058] The cam portion is formed in the circumferential direction on the other side of the dial cam 60, and the pressed protrusion 44 is inserted into the pressed groove portion 61, which is formed so that the distance from the center of the dial cam 60 gradually increases from one side end to the opposite end, and which presses the pressed protrusion 44.

[0059] The dial cam 60 is accommodated in the spool cover 30 and is axially mounted, and the operation dial 70 is coupled to one side (outer side).

[0060] The pressing groove portion 61 is connected in a spiral (whirlwind or spiral) shape with one side end formed near the center of the dial cam 60 and the opposite end formed near the edge of the dial cam 60 based on the plane of the dial cam 60.

[0061] Therefore, since the pressed protrusion 44 passes through the linear first guide groove 37 and is inserted into the pressing groove portion 61, when the dial cam 60 rotates, the pressed protrusion 44 moves back and forth in the diameter direction along the pressing groove portion 61, thereby changing the position of the magnet holder 40.

[0062] In addition, the dial cam 60 has a plurality of click grooves 62 formed in the circumferential direction at the center of the inner side of the pressing groove portion 61, and an elastic pin (not shown) provided on the spool cover 30 is engaged with one of the click grooves 62.

[0063] Next, the operation dial 70 is coupled to the dial cam 60 and is coupled so as to be exposed to the outside through a rotation hole in the side cover 80, and identification parts 71 consisting of symbols, numbers, etc. are arranged in a circle on one side (outer surface) of the operation dial 70 so that the rotation position (angle) of the operation dial 70 can be known, and an indicator is formed at any one position in the circumferential direction of the rotation hole.

[0064] Therefore, by rotating the dial cam 60 with the operating dial 70 to adjust the front-to-back position of the magnet holder 40, the user can adjust the position of the magnet 41 relative to the facing portion 21, i.e., the distance between the facing portion 21 and the magnet 41, and thereby adjust and set the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the facing portion 21, i.e., the basic braking force.

[0065] When casting is performed with the basic braking force set to suit the user, the position of the variable brake 20 changes depending on the rotation speed of the spool 10, and the corresponding braking force is applied, thereby preventing backlash and reduced casting distance during casting.

[0066] In the above description of the present invention, a line guide and a fishing reel having a specific shape and structure have been mainly described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is susceptible to various modifications, variations, and substitutions by those skilled in the art, and such modifications, variations, and substitutions should also be construed as falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
