Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Purpose of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a level wind device for a fishing reel.

BACKGROUND ART The fishing line guide member of the level wide device of the conventional fishing reel does not move its position when the fishing line is let out, so the resistance to releasing the fishing line increases as it passes through the fishing line guide hole, which obstructs the fishing line letting out action and prevents the fishing line from being caught. There is a flaw in not being able to cast long distances.

In order to improve this defect, Japanese Patent Publication No. 40-21220 discloses that the fishing line guide member is formed into a pair of left and right fishing line guide arms and a slider so as to be separable to reduce the resistance caused by the fishing line guide hole when the fishing line is let out. It is known for.

However, with this device, when the pair of fishing line guide arms are separated from the slider, the pair of fishing line guide arms move freely on the guide rod according to the tension of the fishing line, opening the fishing line guide hole, but the reel's gear is The position of the reel during staying is not held correctly horizontally, but is constantly tilted back and forth and left and right.
The pair of fishing line guide arms have a defect in that they move in an unstable manner on the guide rod due to their own weight or inertia and come into contact with the fishing line being fed out, creating frictional resistance.

In addition, since the pair of fishing line guide arms are provided at the top of the slider, the space between them becomes larger, making the shape of the reel itself larger, making it difficult to grip the reel when winding the fishing line, and making it unstable. There is a flaw.

Structure of the invention The present invention is an attempt to improve such defects, and consists of a spool shaft rotatably supported between the reel side plates and a pinion fitted in one end thereof so as to be freely engageable; A clutch mechanism that engages with and separates from the shaft, a drive gear provided on the handle shaft and meshes with the pinion, a guide tube installed between the reel side plates at the front of the spool and having a traverse cam shaft installed therein; A double-bearing fishing reel comprising a fishing line guide member that engages with a traverse cam shaft and slides on a guide tube, and a small gear that is engaged with one end of the traverse cam shaft and meshes with the drive gear. The guide tube is rotatably supported between the reel side plates, and a slider that fits into the guide tube and slides while engaging with the traverse cam shaft has guide surfaces on both outer surfaces. A pair of guide rods are provided horizontally between the reel side plates on the upper and lower sides of the front part of the guide cylinder, and a pair of left and right The fishing line guide arm is slidably fitted, and a spring is provided between the pair of fishing line guide arms in the lower guide rod to elastically bias the fishing line guide arm to both sides, and the fishing line guide hole is connected between both fishing line guide arms. Further, a retractable engagement pin is provided protruding from the rear side of the pair of fishing line guide arms, so that the pair of fishing line guide arms are engaged with the engagement recess in a joined state, and the upper side The gist is that the guide rod is made of a wear-resistant material.
