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, which 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 an increase in the rotational inertia of the spool caused by the fishing line, thereby preventing the occurrence of buckling when the fishing line is released.

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. A brake disk is provided that rotates integrally with a pinion that meshes with the drive gear of the handle shaft, and a disc-shaped brake body is rotatably and slidably opposed to the brake disc, and the peripheral edge of the disc-shaped brake body The periphery of the brake disc is sealed watertight, the inner bottom surface thereof is opposed to the braking part of the brake disc, and a clutch mechanism that can be freely connected is provided between the outer bottom surface of the disc-shaped brake body and the side surface of the spool. The main points are as follows.

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 dish-shaped brake body 13 is attached to a shaft cylinder portion 12 formed on the spool side of the brake disk 11. The brake disc 11 and the disc-shaped brake body 13 are fitted with sealing materials 14 on their peripheral edges and shafts, respectively.
is provided to watertightly seal the space between the brake disc 11 and the dish-shaped brake body 13, and furthermore, the outer bottom surface of the dish-shaped brake body 13 and the side surface of the spool 1 are provided with engagement unevenness 15, 16 and rubber etc. with a large friction coefficient. A clutch mechanism consisting of an elastic body 17 is provided and configured to be freely connectable.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, when winding up the fishing line, the operating lever 6 is rotated to slide the spool shaft 3 toward the reel side plate 4, and the engaging unevenness 15, 16 and elastic After the body 17 is press-fitted and held in the clutch-engaged state, the dish-shaped brake body 13 is further forced into contact with the brake member 10 of the brake disc 11 in the state shown in FIG. When it rotates, the rotational action is transmitted to the spool 1 via the drive gear 9, pinion 7, brake disc 11, and dish-shaped brake body 13, thereby winding the fishing line around the spool 1.

Therefore, when adjusting drag braking, the spool shaft 3 is slid in the axial direction by rotating the operating lever 6, and the degree of pressure contact between the brake disc 11 and the dish-shaped brake body 13 is adjusted to be strong or weak. When releasing the fishing line, the engagement unevenness 15,1 between the dish-shaped brake body 13 and the spool 1 is activated by the operation lever 6.
The fishing line is let out from the spool 1 in a separated state of the clutch mechanism in which the clutch mechanism 6 and the elastic body 17 are separated as shown in FIG.

Although the above embodiment is a double-bearing type reel in which the spool 1 rotates integrally with the spool shaft 3, it can also be applied to a double-bearing type reel in which the spool 1 is rotatably formed on the spool shaft via a bearing. , and as an engagement means of the clutch mechanism between the spool 1 and the dish-shaped brake body 13, a concave-convex portion 1 as shown in FIG.
5' and 16' so that they can be freely engaged, or as shown in FIG.
16'' can be attached to each other, and the friction between the two can be used to connect them when the fishing line is wound up, and to separate them when the fishing line is released.

Effects of the invention The present invention has a disc-shaped brake body rotatably and slidably opposed to the brake disk in a drag device of a double-bearing reel, and also seals the peripheral edges of both parts watertightly. Since the bottom surface and the side of the spool are formed so that they can be freely engaged with each other using a clutch mechanism, the drag braking section is sealed and isolated by the braking disc and dish-shaped braking body, making it reliably waterproof. Even if the reel is accidentally dropped into the water, the drag function and its durability will not be degraded, and when the fishing line is released, the dish-shaped braking body is separated from the spool by a clutch mechanism, and only the spool rotates to release the fishing line. Unlike conventional methods, the rotational inertia of the spool for feeding out does not increase, the fishing line does not flop, and therefore the casting performance is not impaired, and its watertight mechanism is simple and compact. It has excellent features and practicality, such as not increasing the reel weight.
