AI Technical Summary
Existing spinning reels suffer from line unraveling and backlash due to the mismatch between the spool's stroke width and the line winding section, causing poor line release and drag operation, especially with certain types of fishing lines.
The spool's range of movement is adjusted to be greater than the line winding section's width by 100% to 120%, with the line winding body's outer diameter being 70% or less than the flange diameter, and the line is wound parallel or substantially parallel to the cylinder, with an inclined extension direction to align tip positions and prevent line catching.
This configuration reduces line unraveling, prevents line catching, improves line release and drag operation, and minimizes damage and backlash, enhancing fishing line durability.

Description
【Technical Field】 【0001】 The present invention relates to a spinning reel for fishing. 【Background Art】 【0002】 As a spinning reel for fishing, a reel body is known to include a rotor, a spool, a rotor drive mechanism for rotating the rotor, and a reciprocating mechanism for moving the spool back and forth along the rotation axis to wind fishing line onto the spool. 【Prior Art Documents】 【Patent Documents】 【0003】 【Patent Document 1】 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-9828 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0004】 In the spinning reel according to Patent Document 1, a reel body having an opening on one side and attached to a fishing rod, a handle shaft rotatably supported by the reel body, a spool reciprocally supported by the reel body and having fishing line wound around its outer periphery, a rotor rotatably supported by the reel body, guiding the fishing line on the outer periphery of the spool, and covering a part of the upper space of the opening of the reel body, a master gear housed in the reel body, fixed to the handle shaft to rotate the rotor, and removable from the opening of the reel body, a cover body closing a part of the opening of the reel body within a range not overlapping the rotor, with one end side of the handle shaft rotatably supported and removable from the opening, and a flange-shaped cover closing the remaining opening not closed by the cover body and capable of being arranged in a retracted state where the master gear can be removed from the opening are disclosed. 【0005】 In the spinning reel described in Patent Document 1, the spool shaft and spool reciprocate in the front-to-back direction along the axis of rotation, and the fishing line guided onto the spool by the bail and line roller is wound uniformly in the front-to-back direction around the outer circumference of the spool. However, in a spinning reel like the one described in Patent Document 1, even if the fishing line can be wound neatly onto the spool at first glance, the relationship between the width of the spool's winding section and the spool's stroke width causes the line to become unruly at both ends of the winding and dig into the spool, resulting in poor and unstable line release. Furthermore, it not only creates resistance when the drag is pulled out, but also makes it prone to backlash depending on the type of fishing line (for example, PE). 【0006】 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a spinning reel for fishing that can reduce the occurrence of line unraveling at both ends of the line winding by adjusting the relationship between the range of forward and backward movement of the spool and the range of forward and backward movement of the line winding cylinder, thereby preventing the fishing line from getting caught, improving line release and drag operation, and consequently reducing damage to the fishing line and the occurrence of backlash. Other objects of the present invention will become clear by referring to the entirety of this specification. [Means for solving the problem] 【0007】 A spinning reel for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises an operating section for winding fishing line, a reel body on which the operating section is provided, a spool provided on the reel body and having a cylindrical fishing line winding section around which the fishing line is wound, a spool shaft attached to the spool and movable together with the spool, and an oscillating mechanism for moving the spool shaft back and forth, wherein the range of back and forth movement (B) of the spool by the oscillating mechanism is configured to be greater than the front-to-back width (A) of the fishing line winding section. 【0008】 In a spinning reel for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the range of forward and backward movement (B) of the spool by the oscillating mechanism is configured to be greater than the range of forward and backward movement (A) of the fishing line winding section by 100% to 120%. 【0009】 In a spinning reel for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the fishing line winding body is formed between a front flange and a rear flange, and the outer diameter of the fishing line winding body is configured to be 70% or less of the outer diameter of the front flange or the rear flange of the spool. 【0010】 In a spinning reel for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the oscillating mechanism moves the spool shaft back and forth so that the fishing line can be wound parallel or substantially parallel to the fishing line winding cylinder. 【0011】 A spinning reel for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured such that the tip position of the fishing line winding section and the position on which the fishing line can be wound when the spool is at the rear end of the forward and backward movement of the spool by the oscillating mechanism overlap. 【0012】 In a spinning reel for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the extension direction of the fishing line winding section, as viewed in the front-rear direction of the spool, is inclined with respect to the front-rear movement direction of the spool. 【0013】 In a spinning reel for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the extension direction of the fishing line winding body, as viewed in the front-rear direction of the spool, is such that the rear end of the fishing line winding body is inclined radially outward or inward of the spool with respect to the front-rear movement direction of the spool. [Effects of the Invention] 【0014】 According to the above embodiment, by adjusting the relationship between the forward and backward movement range of the spool and the forward and backward width of the fishing line winding section, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of line unraveling at both ends of the winding, prevent the fishing line from getting caught, improve line release and drag operation, and consequently reduce damage to the fishing line and the occurrence of backlash, thereby providing a spinning reel for fishing.

[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0016】 The following describes in detail an embodiment of a line-stopping device for a fishing spinning reel according to one embodiment of the present invention, with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, when referring to "front and back" and "up and down," the directions shown in Figure 1 are used as the reference. Components common to multiple drawings are given the same reference numerals throughout the drawings. Please note that for the sake of explanation, each drawing is not necessarily drawn to an exact scale. 【0017】 First, with reference to Figure 1, the basic configuration of a fishing spinning reel (fishing reel) 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1 shows the overall configuration of a fishing spinning reel according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the fishing spinning reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a reel body 2 to which an operating part (handle) 5a is assembled, a rotor 13 that rotates when the handle 5a is wound up, and a spool 3 that reciprocates in the forward and backward direction when the handle 5a is wound up. 【0018】 The reel body 2 is provided with a spool shaft that extends forward and has a spool 3 attached to its front end, and a spool reciprocating device 50 (not shown). When the winding operation of the handle 5a is performed, the spool reciprocating device 50 moves the spool shaft back and forth, and the spool 3 attached to the spool shaft moves back and forth (see arrow A in FIG. 1). Also, a drag mechanism (not shown) is interposed between the spool shaft and the spool 3, and when a force greater than the drag force acts on the fishing line, the spool 3 rotates (pivots) around the spool shaft. 【0019】 As shown in FIG. 1, the spool 3 includes a cylindrical fishing line winding barrel portion 4 around which the fishing line is wound, a ring-shaped front flange 14 that rises radially outward from the front end (the front end in the front-rear direction) of the fishing line winding barrel portion 4, a ring-shaped rear flange 15 that rises radially outward from the rear end (the rear end in the front-rear direction) of the fishing line winding barrel portion 4, and a substantially cylindrical skirt portion 16 that extends rearward from the rear flange 15. Here, the length of the cylindrical fishing line winding barrel portion 4 in the front-rear direction around which the fishing line is wound is referred to as the front-rear direction width (A) of the fishing line winding barrel portion 4. 【0020】 The reel body 2 includes a body 10 having a side opening (not shown) that opens toward the left side, a leg portion 11 that extends upward from the body 10 and has a rod attachment portion 11a formed at its upper end, a front portion of the body provided on the front side of the body 10, a lid member 30 that supports the handle shaft while closing the side opening, and a protective cover 40 attached to the rear portion of the body 10. Note that the body 10, the leg portion 11, and the front portion of the body are integrally formed of a resin material or the like. Also, each of the lid member 30 and the protective cover 40 is formed of a resin material or the like. 【0021】 In addition, the front part of the body has a cylindrical shape that opens in the front-rear direction, and a drive shaft cylinder and a spool shaft are assembled inside. The front end of the drive shaft cylinder and the front end of the spool shaft protrude forward beyond the front part of the body. A rotor 13 is attached to the front end of the drive shaft cylinder, and a spool 3 is attached to the front end of the spool shaft. On the other hand, the rear end of the drive shaft cylinder and the rear end of the spool shaft are arranged inside the body 10. Further, a pinion gear is integrally formed at the rear part of the drive shaft cylinder. 【0022】 Inside the body 10, as a configuration for driving the drive shaft cylinder and the spool shaft by the winding operation of the handle 5a, there are accommodated a handle shaft 5 extending in the left-right direction (the direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 1), a drive gear and gears connected to the handle shaft 5, and a spool reciprocating device 50. 【0023】 The drive gear is a gear that meshes with the pinion gear arranged in the front, and its central part is penetrated by the handle shaft 5 and rotates around the rotation axis integrally with the handle shaft 5. In this way, when the handle 5a is wound, the handle shaft 5 and the drive gear rotate, and the rotational driving force is transmitted to the pinion gear, causing the drive shaft cylinder and the rotor 13 to rotate. 【0024】 The gear is a gear integrally formed with the handle shaft 5, meshes with the interlocking gear of the spool reciprocating device 50, and transmits the rotational driving force caused by the winding operation of the handle 5a to the interlocking gear. The spool reciprocating device 50 includes a guide shaft extending in the front-rear direction, a slider having a guide groove formed on its right side surface and moving along the guide shaft, and an interlocking gear formed with an eccentric protrusion engaging with the guide groove. Further, the rear end of the spool shaft is fixed to the slider, and the slider and the spool shaft are integrated. 【0025】 In this way, when the handle shaft 5 and the gear rotate due to the winding operation of the handle 5a, the interlocking gear rotates. The eccentric projection of the interlocking gear then presses against the inner surface of the guide groove of the slider, and the rotational motion is converted into a forward and backward motion, causing the slider and the spool shaft (spool 3) to reciprocate in the forward and backward direction. Hereafter, this amount of movement in the forward and backward direction (stroke) will be called the forward and backward movement range (B) of the spool 3, and the spool reciprocating device 50 will be called the oscillating mechanism 50. The spool reciprocating device (oscillating mechanism) 50 described above was explained using an S-shaped cam type oscillating mechanism as an example, but a worm shaft type oscillating mechanism may also be used. A simple example of a worm shaft type oscillating mechanism is described below. 【0026】 A worm shaft type oscillating mechanism moves the spool 3 in the forward and backward directions by moving the spool shaft, which is fixed to the center of the spool 3, in the forward and backward directions. More specifically, the worm shaft type oscillating mechanism comprises a screw shaft positioned below the spool shaft, a slider that moves forward and backward along the screw shaft, and an intermediate gear fixed to the tip of the screw shaft. The screw shaft is positioned parallel to the spool shaft and is rotatably supported by the body. A helical groove is formed on the outer circumference of the screw shaft, and the slider is fixed to the rear end of the spool shaft. The intermediate gear meshes with a pinion gear, and the rotation of the pinion gear is transmitted from the intermediate gear to the screw shaft. The slider slides along the helical groove, causing the spool shaft and spool 3 to reciprocate back and forth. With the oscillating mechanism described above, it is possible to move the spool shaft back and forth so that the fishing line can be wound approximately parallel or parallel to the fishing line winding cylinder. 【0027】 Next, with reference to Figures 1 to 4, a spinning reel 1 for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention will be further described. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the spinning reel 1 for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises an operating section 5a for winding fishing line, a reel body 2 on which the operating section 5a is provided, a spool 3 provided on the reel body 2 and having a cylindrical fishing line winding section 4 around which the fishing line is wound, a spool shaft attached to the spool 3 and movable together with the spool 3, and an oscillating mechanism 50 that moves the spool shaft back and forth, wherein the range of back and forth movement (B) of the spool 3 by the oscillating mechanism 50 is configured to be greater than the front-to-back width (A) of the fishing line winding section 4 of the spool 3. 【0028】 According to a spinning reel for fishing in one embodiment of the present invention, by adjusting the relationship between the range of motion of the spool and the range of motion of the fishing line winding section, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of line unraveling at both ends of the winding, prevent the fishing line from getting caught, improve line release and drag operation, and consequently reduce damage to the fishing line and the occurrence of backlash. More specifically, it is possible to reduce unintentional stress and load on the line, thereby preventing deterioration of the line's strength. 【0029】 In a spinning reel 1 for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the range of forward and backward movement (B) of the spool 3 by the oscillating mechanism 50 is configured to be 100% to 120% greater than the forward and backward width (A) of the fishing line winding section 4 of the spool 3. In this way, within this range, the line is reliably guided and wound to both ends of the winding section, thereby reducing the occurrence of line unraveling at both ends of the winding section, preventing the fishing line from getting caught, improving the release of the fishing line and the drag operation, and consequently reducing damage to the fishing line and the occurrence of backlash. 【0030】 In a spinning reel 1 for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the fishing line winding body 4 of the spool 3 is formed between a front flange 14 and a rear flange 15, and the outer diameter of the fishing line winding body 4 is configured to be 70% or less of the outer diameter of the front flange 14 or the rear flange 15 of the spool 3. With this outer diameter ratio, even if the line near the bottom of the winding body is subjected to force from the line wound from above, the line at both ends is tightly wound, thereby reducing the occurrence of line unraveling at both ends of the winding, preventing the fishing line from getting caught, improving the release of the fishing line and the drag operation, and consequently reducing damage to the fishing line and the occurrence of backlash. 【0031】 In a spinning reel 1 for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the oscillating mechanism 50 is configured to move the spool shaft back and forth so that the fishing line can be wound parallel or substantially parallel to the fishing line winding cylinder 4 of the spool 3. Here, winding the fishing line parallel or substantially parallel to the fishing line winding cylinder 4 of the spool 3 means that the winding of the line ends up in a similar shape to the winding cylinder. 【0032】 A spinning reel 1 for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured such that the tip position of the fishing line winding body 4 (the end on the front flange 14 side) and the position where the fishing line can be wound onto the fishing line winding body 4 when the spool 3 is at its rear end (rearmost end) during the forward and backward movement of the oscillating mechanism 50 are aligned. In this way, even if the line is guided to a position outside the fishing line winding body, the line can still be stored in the fishing line winding body. 【0033】 Next, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, in a spinning reel 1 for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the extension direction of the fishing line winding body 4, when viewed in the front-rear direction of the spool 3 (from the front flange 14 toward the rear flange 15), is inclined with respect to the front-rear movement direction of the spool 3. This makes it possible to further improve the release of the fishing line. 【0034】 In a spinning reel 1 for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, the extension direction of the fishing line winding body 4 of the spool 3, when viewed in the front-rear direction of the spool (direction from the front flange 14 to the rear flange 15), is such that the rear end side (rear flange 15 side) of the fishing line winding body 4 is inclined radially outward (as shown in Figure 4, the shape of the fishing line winding body 4 is called a "positive taper") or inward (as shown in Figure 4, the shape of the fishing line winding body 4 is called a "reverse taper") with respect to the front-rear movement direction of the spool 3. When the shape of the fishing line winding body 4 is a "positive taper", it is possible to reduce the resistance to releasing the line, and when the shape of the fishing line winding body 4 is a "reverse taper", it is possible to prevent backlash. 【0035】 The dimensions, materials, and arrangements of each component described herein are not limited to those explicitly described in the embodiments, and each component can be modified to have any dimensions, materials, and arrangements that fall within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, components not explicitly described herein may be added to the described embodiments, and some of the components described in each embodiment may be omitted.
