Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention relates to a fishing reel in which the drag braking force is adjusted by rotating the handle.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a method of adjusting the drag braking force of a double-bearing reel for large-sized fishing, a handle is used in the direction of winding the fishing line onto the spool, as seen in Japanese Patent Publication No. 34-2822 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 177463-1983. When the handle is rotated, the handle screwed onto the outer periphery of the handle shaft tightens the drag braking member fitted onto the outer periphery of the handle shaft, increasing the drag braking force, and when the handle is rotated in the opposite direction, the drag braking force is minimized. It is known that the drag braking force is adjusted by operating the steering wheel so that the drag braking force becomes weaker in this direction. However, in the above adjustment method, the lug of the washer or the stopper of the arm engages approximately one rotation of the handle, so the drag braking force T with respect to the drag braking force line α in FIG. 6 and the movement of the handle on the handle axis In relation to the position (distance) P, the range of strength of the drag braking force is wide as l, and by raising the reference value a on the minimum drag braking force side to b, the strength range between it and the maximum drag braking force is set to l'. Even if it is possible to make the drag braking force as narrow as possible, it is not possible to adjust and set the maximum drag braking force within a range that is weaker than the maximum drag braking force. That is, for example, if the range l of the strength of drag braking force is 1 to
When it is set to 10Kg, it is possible to adjust and move the position of the washer's lug or arm stopper to increase the minimum drag braking force to 3Kg and set it in a narrow range l' from 3 to 10Kg. In particular, it is impossible to lower the maximum drag braking force and adjust it to a range of 1 to 7 kg or 3 to 7 kg. Such defects make it impossible to perform drag braking operations quickly and smoothly depending on the fish species, the size of the fish, and the conditions of the fishing spot, which may cause the fishing line to break up, or
This causes problems such as thread breakage.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of these current circumstances, the present invention has been developed to provide a handle for a fishing reel in which the reference values of the minimum and maximum drag braking forces can be arbitrarily and finely adjusted, and the range of strength of the drag braking force can be selected from multiple sizes, large and small, by rotating the handle. The purpose is to provide a drag adjustment mechanism.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a drive gear and a drag braking member fitted to a handle shaft, and the drag braking member is biased by the handle screwed onto the handle shaft, and the drag braking member is biased to the outer end of the handle shaft. A regulating seat plate is rotatably fixed so as to rotate integrally with the handle shaft, and a plurality of arcuate adjustment holes having different lengths are bored in the regulating seat plate, and the handle is fitted into one of the adjusting holes. It has a protruding matching pin.

【Example】

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.If the handle drag adjustment mechanism of a fishing reel is described as a double bearing type reel, the inner plates 1 and 10 are held in parallel by a plurality of supports 11, and the inner plates 1 and 10 are Reel side plates 2 and 12 are fixed to the outside of the reel, and a spool 13 is rotatably disposed between both inner plates 1 and 10 on a spool shaft 14, and the spool shaft 14 rotates by bearings on both reel side plates 2 and 12. A pinion 15 which is freely supported and removably fitted to one side of the spool shaft 14 is meshed with a drive gear 16.
is fitted onto the outer periphery of a hollow handle shaft 3 and is rotated by a handle 5 which is screwed onto the handle shaft 3 via a drag braking member 4, and when the handle 5 is rotated in the direction to wind up the fishing line onto the spool 13, drag braking is applied. The drag braking force is made stronger by pressing the member 4, and becomes weaker by rotating the handle 5 in the opposite direction. The handle shaft 3 is fitted onto the outer periphery of a fixed shaft 18 that is fixedly supported by a support plate 17 and is prevented from coming off by a pin 19, a ratchet wheel 20 is fixed to the inner end, and a male screw 3a is attached to the outer periphery of the outer end. is engraved, and the outer periphery of the outer end of the male threaded portion 3a is formed into a polygonal detent portion 3b, into which the polygonal through hole 6a of the detent member 6 is fitted in a detent manner. The round through hole 7a of the regulating seat plate 7 is rotatably fitted to the handle shaft 3 on the outside, and the rotation prevention member 6 and the regulating seat plate 7 are connected by screws 21 screwed onto the handle shaft 3. It is stopped from falling out. As shown in FIG. 3, a reversal prevention pawl 22 rotatably supported by a screw on a support plate 17 is removably engaged with the ratchet wheel 20 by a spring 23. The handle 5 is screwed onto the male screw 3a of the handle shaft 3 as shown in FIGS. arc-shaped adjustment holes 7b with different lengths;
It is selectively inserted into one of 7c and 7d. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, uneven surfaces 6b and 7e are formed on the joining surface of the rotation prevention member 6 and the regulating seat plate 7, and the regulating seat plate 7 is attached to the handle shaft 3 by rotational engagement of the two. It is constructed so that the fixed position can be displaceably mounted. Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, the case where the pin 24 of the handle 5 is fitted into the adjustment hole 7b, which has the longest length of the adjustment hole, will be described first. 2, rotate the pin 24 in the direction in which the drag braking force is loosened, and set the pin 24 in the adjustment hole 7b in FIG. 2 so that the drag braking force curve α in FIG. Hold it in the position indicated by the solid line and rotate the rotation prevention member 6.
After fixing the regulation seat plate 7, when the handle 5 is rotated clockwise, the pin 24 is moved toward the front end in the clockwise direction inside the adjustment hole 7b of the regulation seat plate 7, and this movement causes the handle 5 to be rotated clockwise. is screwed onto the handle shaft 3 and rotated forward to the left in FIG. When a braking force is applied, the handle shaft 3 and the drive gear 16 are rotated, and the spool 13 is rotated via the pinion 15. At this time, the drag braking force is the maximum drag braking force within the strength range L with position B in Figure 6 as the reference value, and if the force with which the catch pulls the fishing line becomes greater than this drag braking force, is rolled out. Next, when the drag braking force is to be weakened within the strength range L, the handle 5 is rotated counterclockwise in the opposite direction as shown in FIG.
is rotated in the reverse direction, the ratchet wheel is locked by the anti-reverse claw 22, and when the handle 5 is further rotated in the reverse direction, the handle shaft 3
On the other hand, the handle is screwed together and moved backward to the right in FIG. 1, the drag braking force is weakened, and the pin 24 is rotated from the position shown by the broken line to the position shown by the solid line in the adjustment hole 7b of the regulating seat plate 7. When the rear end side is struck clockwise, reverse rotation of the handle 5 is stopped and the spool 13 is rotated freely or with a weak drag braking force. Similarly, the reference value can be adjusted to D, G, H, etc. in FIG. 6 by rotating the handle 5 with respect to the handle shaft 3 before inserting the pin 24 into the adjustment hole 7b. In addition, when the pin 24 is fitted into the adjustment hole 7c, the strength range L' of the drag braking force becomes narrower than when using the adjustment hole 7b, and the pin 24 can be adjusted in the same manner as described above. It is also possible to adjust and set the reference value to positions such as C, E, and J in FIG. 6 by rotating the handle 5 with respect to the handle shaft 3 before inserting it into the hole 7c. Furthermore, when the pin 24 is fitted into the adjustment hole 7d in the same way, the strength range of the drag braking force is adjusted according to its length.
It is also possible to set the standard value to A,
Can be adjusted to F or J. In this way, the reference value of the weak drag braking force of the handle drag adjustment mechanism of a fishing reel can be arbitrarily set, and the adjustment holes 7b, 7c, and 7d have different lengths.
By selecting one of these and inserting the pin 24, the strength range of the drag braking force can be arbitrarily set within the range of L, L', L''. The drag braking force applied to the spool 13 is the drag braking force at the upper limit of the range of L, L', L'', and excessive drag braking force is prevented. Further, if the drag braking member 4 is worn out when the reference value is set to the A position, the pin 24 will be moved to the regulating seat plate 7.
The spool 13 will rotate freely before reaching the rear end of the adjustment hole in the clockwise direction, allowing play to adjust the minimum drag braking force. 1.
By turning the handle clockwise along with the handle 5 in the second tooth position and fixing it with the screw 21, the position of the minimum drag braking force can be easily and finely adjusted at a small angle. In the above description, the fishing reel has been described as a double-bearing reel, but other types of reels may also be used.

[Effect of the idea]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the minimum and maximum reference values of the drag braking force can be adjusted finely as desired by adjusting the relative positions of the handle pin and the adjustment holes of different lengths of the regulating seat plate. Multiple strength ranges can be selected, so it is possible to set the drag braking force reference value and adjustment range that best suits the fish species, fishing line and rod used, and fishing spot conditions (wind, waves, water depth, etc.). This is a fishing reel that has excellent practical effects, such as ensuring smooth drag operation with the handle while reliably preventing the spool from collapsing due to reversal of the spool when reeling out the fishing line, and line breakage due to excessive braking force when reeling the line. A handle drag adjustment mechanism can be provided.
