Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing reel equipped with a concealing cover for concealing the sides of a level wind, and more specifically, to a fishing reel in which the openings on both sides of the level wind mounting part are covered with separate concealing covers to protect the level wind, and the color of the concealing cover can be changed to suit the user's preferences for decoration. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, fishing reels, especially baitcasting reels, differ only in the braking method according to the braking method of the spool, and generally comprise a frame to which the spool is attached, a palm side cover attached to one side of the frame, a gear side cover attached to the other side of the frame, and a handle attached to the gear side cover.

[0003] Such fishing reels are equipped with a guide at the front end of the frame through which the fishing line passes to guide the fishing line wound on the spool to the top part of the fishing rod, and this guide is equipped with a level wind that ensures that the fishing line is wound evenly around the entire spool.

[0004] The level wind is axially mounted horizontally at the front end of the frame and is connected to a worm shaft with a bidirectional rail portion on its outer periphery. When the fishing line on the spool is being let out or wound, the spool shaft and worm shaft rotate together in unison, and the level wind moves back and forth along the bidirectional rail portion in the longitudinal direction of the worm shaft, assisting in the winding and unwinding of the fishing line.

[0005] Such fishing reels are coupled with a front cover that forms the front appearance of the fishing reel, thereby protecting the rear level wind from external impacts.

[0006] As can be seen from Korean Patent No. 10-2083429, the front cover is detachably connected to the frame, facilitating maintenance of the fishing reel.

[0007] On the other hand, the frame of the fishing reel has a top cover formed on the upper side of the frame to make it easier to grip the fishing reel and to protect the fingers, and the top cover is formed in a U-shape with an open rear face so that it covers the front level wind while leaving the top of the spool open.

[0008] However, due to the structure of this top cover, there is an opening between the front end of each mounting portion on both sides of the frame and the top cover above it, which has the disadvantage that the level wind is exposed as it is. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a fishing reel equipped with a concealing cover that can cover and protect both side openings of the level wind mounting part. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the fishing reel according to the present invention comprises: In a fishing reel equipped with a level wind, a frame including a concealment cover mounting portion formed between both side cover mounting portions and a top cover mounting portion; and a concealment cover coupled to the concealment cover mounting portion and covering both side openings of the level wind mounting portion.

[0011] In addition, in the fishing reel according to the present invention, The frame includes a bolt fastening hole formed in the concealment cover mounting portion, The concealing cover has first bolt insertion holes corresponding to the bolt fastening holes, and is connected to the concealing cover mounting part with bolts.

[0012] In addition, in the fishing reel according to the present invention, The top cover includes a second bolt insertion hole arranged between the bolt fastening hole and the first bolt insertion hole, so that the top cover and the concealment cover are connected to the concealment cover mounting part with bolts.

[0013] In addition, in the fishing reel according to the present invention, The frame includes a protrusion fitting hole formed in the concealment cover mounting portion, The concealing cover includes a fitting protrusion that is fitted into the protrusion fitting hole. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] The fishing reel according to the present invention has a concealment cover mounting portion between both side cover mounting portions and a top cover mounting portion, and by connecting a concealment cover to the concealment cover mounting portion, it is possible to cover both openings of the level wind mounting portion and protect the level wind. Each user can change the colors of the concealment cover and the top cover to suit their preferences, and the concealment cover and the top cover are connected together with bolts to facilitate disassembly and connection, and the concealment cover and the top cover can be firmly connected to the frame. By adding a fitting protrusion to the concealment cover so that it can be fitted into the frame, the connecting strength of the concealment cover together with the bolts is increased and distortion is prevented.

[0025] The present invention relates to a fishing reel, particularly a baitcasting reel, which, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, broadly comprises a frame 10, side covers 20, 30, a top cover 40, a concealment cover 50, and a front cover 60.

[0026] Other than this, the remaining basic components of the fishing reel, such as the handle, are well known, and for ease of understanding, detailed description will be omitted.

[0027] Specifically, the present invention includes a frame 10 having a concealment cover mounting portion 13 formed between both side cover mounting portions 11 and a top cover mounting portion 12, and a concealment cover 50 connected to the concealment cover mounting portion 13 and covering both side openings 161 of the level wind mounting portion 16.

[0028] The frame 10 has side cover mounting parts 11 formed with a planar structure on both sides of the central spool mounting part 14, and a front cover mounting part 15 is connected to the front end of each of the side cover mounting parts 11 on both sides, detouring towards the side cover mounting part 11 on the opposite side, and a level wind mounting part 16, which is a space with upper and lower openings, is formed between the top cover mounting part 12 and the spool mounting part 14, and a front cover 60 is connected to the front cover mounting part 15.

[0029] In addition, the frame 10 extends from the upper surfaces of the rear ends of the side cover mounting parts 11 on both sides toward the upper part of the level wind mounting part 16, and the top cover mounting part 12 is connected in a form similar to that of the front cover mounting part 15, so that an opening 161 of the level wind mounting part 16, which is an empty space, is formed between the side cover mounting parts 11 on both sides and the top cover mounting part 12, and the top cover 40 is mounted on the upper surface of the top cover mounting part 12.

[0030] Between the both side cover mounting portions 11 and the top cover mounting portion 12, the concealing cover mounting portion 13 is formed by connecting a part of the opening 161 of the level wind mounting portion 16 in a planar shape.
