Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an improvement of a drag device for a double-bearing reel for fishing.

Prior Art If the braking member of the drag device of a double-bearing fishing reel is exposed to seawater, the drag function and its durability will deteriorate, so as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 61-80669, It is known to extend a cylindrical body around the periphery and provide a waterproof cover on the cylindrical body to cover the brake part, but there is a gap between the waterproof cover and the spool shaft, making it difficult to reliably prevent seawater from entering. This is especially difficult when washing the reel by directly pouring water on it, or if the reel is accidentally dropped into water.In addition, the waterproof cover is provided on the outer edge of the spool, making the spool large and heavy. The rotational inertia is large, which tends to cause a crashing phenomenon when the fishing line is released, resulting in a defect that impairs casting performance.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In view of the current situation, the present invention aims to reliably isolate and protect the drag mechanism from seawater, etc., to prevent deterioration of the drag function and its durability due to moisture such as seawater, and to provide this waterproofing means. The purpose of this is to prevent the increase in the rotational inertia of the spool caused by this, thereby preventing the occurrence of buckling when releasing the fishing line.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a structure in which a spool shaft fitted with a spool is slidable in the axial direction by an operating lever provided on the reel side plate, and the spool shaft A brake disc that rotates integrally with a pinion meshing with a drive gear of a handle shaft is provided, a waterproof casing for housing the brake disc in a watertight manner is provided rotatably and slidably relative to the brake disc, and the waterproof casing The gist is that a braking member that can be press-contacted to the braking disk is provided inside the casing, and a clutch mechanism that can be coupled between the outer surface of the waterproof casing and the spool surface is provided.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A spool shaft 3, which is fitted with a spool 1 so as to rotate integrally with a stop pin 2, is supported between reel side plates 4 and 5, and the reel It is configured to be able to slide freely in the axial direction via a cam etc. by rotation of an operating lever 6 provided on the side plate 4, and furthermore, a pinion 7 rotatably fitted on the reel side plate 4 side of the spool shaft 3. A drive gear 9 fixed to the handle shaft 8 meshes with the drive gear 9.

Further, a brake disk 11 having a brake member 10 on its surface is integrally fixed to the spool 1 side of the pinion 7, and a shaft cylindrical portion 12 formed at the front and rear of the brake disk 11 has a dish-shaped portion 13 and a lid portion. A waterproof housing 14 consisting of a waterproof housing 13' is rotatably and axially fitted through a sealing material 15, and a brake member 16 is provided on the dish-shaped portion 13 of the waterproof housing 14 facing the brake member 10. Further, a clutch mechanism is provided on the outer surface of the dish-shaped portion 13 and the side surface of the spool 1, which is comprised of coupling members 17 and 18 having a large coefficient of friction so as to be frictionally coupled.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, when winding up the fishing line, the operating lever 6 is rotated and the spool shaft 3 is slid toward the reel side plate 4 to connect the spool 1 and the waterproof housing 14. At the same time as the clutch is engaged, the waterproof casing 14 is further pumped and the braking member 16 is
When the handle shaft 8 is rotated in the state shown in FIG.
Braking disc 11, braking members 10, 16, waterproof casing 14
The fishing line is then transmitted to the spool 1 via coupling members 17 and 18, which are clutch mechanisms, to wind the fishing line onto the spool 1.

Therefore, when adjusting drag braking, the spool shaft 3 is slid in the axial direction by rotating the operating lever 6 while the clutch mechanism between the spool 1 and the waterproof housing 14 is held in a connected state.
This is done by adjusting the degree of pressure contact of 0 and 16 to be strong and weak, and when releasing the fishing line, the operating lever 6 is used to move the coupling members 17 and 18, which are the clutch mechanism, to the first position.
As shown in the figure, the fishing line is let out from the spool 1 in a separated state.

The above embodiment is a double bearing type reel in which the spool 1 rotates integrally with the spool shaft 3, but it is also applicable to a double bearing type reel in which the spool 1 is rotatably formed on the spool shaft 3 via a bearing. In addition, as a coupling means of the clutch mechanism between the waterproof housing 14 and the side surface of the spool 1, instead of the frictional connection in the above embodiment, a concave and convex portion 17 formed on the waterproof housing 14 and the spool 1 as shown in FIG. ', 18', or the concave and convex portions 17',
18' and an elastic body 18'' such as rubber with a large coefficient of friction that presses against the waterproof housing 14 provided on the side of the spool 1.
It may also be carried out in combination with.

Effects of the invention The present invention houses the brake disk in a drag device of a double bearing type reel in a watertight manner in a waterproof case, and makes the outer surface of the waterproof case face the spool side so that it can be freely connected, and press-fits the brake disk inside. Since the drag braking part is reliably waterproof with a waterproof housing, even if the reel itself is washed with water or if the reel is accidentally dropped into water, the drag function and its performance will be maintained. There is no reduction in durability, and the outer side of the waterproof casing and the side of the spool are separated from the spool by a clutch mechanism when the fishing line is released, and only the spool rotates to feed out the fishing line, so the rotational inertia of the spool is reduced like the conventional method. It has excellent features and practicality in that it does not become bulky, does not cause the fishing line to buckle, and therefore does not impair casting performance.
