Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spinning reel for fishing, and more particularly to a spinning reel having an improved bail reversing mechanism.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in spinning reels,
At the time of casting, the bale is positioned at the open position where it does not interfere with the release of the line from the spool, while when the line is wound after the casting is completed, the bale is inverted from the open position to the closed position for guiding the line to the spool. There is a need. Therefore, conventionally, various bail reversing mechanisms have been developed which automatically reverse the bail from the open position to the closed position when the handle is normally rotated after the casting is completed. Then, in these bale reversing mechanisms, when the bail is on the open position side from the predetermined boundary position, the bail is biased toward the open position, while when the bail is on the closed position side from the boundary position. , A dead point spring that biases the bail toward the closed position.

[0003]

Conventionally, a torsion spring or a coil spring has been used as the dead point spring of the bail reversing mechanism. However, when the torsion spring is used, the life of the spring is shortened. There was a problem. On the other hand, if a coil spring is used, the life of the spring can be lengthened, but in order to fold the reel compactly when the reel is not used, it is necessary to rotate the bail beyond the closed position to the folding position. Conventionally, there is a problem that a coil spring cannot be used due to space limitations.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. A coil spring is used as a dead point spring of a bale reversing mechanism to make the dead point spring have a long life, and at the same time, the bale is in a folded position. An object of the present invention is to provide a spinning reel that can be rotated.

[0005]

A spinning reel according to the present invention includes a reel body, a rotor rotatably supported by the reel body, and a rotatable position with respect to the rotor in an open position, a closed position and a folded position. A supported veil,
Selection means for selecting whether to stop the bail at the closed position and prevent the bail from rotating to the folded position, or to allow the bail to pass through the closed position and rotate to the folded position. And, when the bail is on the open position side from a predetermined boundary position, while urging the bail toward the open position, when the bail is on the closed position side from the boundary position, In a spinning reel having a dead point spring for urging a bail toward the closed position, a bail side pin attached to the bail side, and a spring container rotatably supported by the rotor, A coil spring which is housed in the spring housing and constitutes the dead point spring, and a coil spring which is movably supported by the spring housing in the axial direction of the coil spring. When the bail is between the open position and the closed position, the tip side of the bail side pin enters the spring housing, When the tip of the bail-side pin compresses the coil spring via the spring receiver, while the bail is rotated from the closed position to the folded position, the bail-side pin escapes from the spring container. It is something like this.

[0006]

In the present invention, when the bail is located between the open position and the closed position, the tip of the bail-side pin is inserted into the spring housing, so that the spring housing corresponds to the turning position of the bail. Rotate in the direction you did. Since the tip of the bail-side pin compresses the coil spring via the spring receiver, the coil spring is attached to the bail toward the open position when the bail is located closer to the open position than the predetermined boundary position. On the other hand, when the bail is closer to the closed position than the boundary position, the bail is urged toward the closed position. Further, when the bail is rotated to the folding position while the bail is allowed to rotate to the folding position by passing through the closed position by the selecting means, the bail-side pin escapes from the spring accommodating body.

According to the present invention, when the bail is rotated to the folding position, the bail-side pin comes out of the spring accommodating body, so that the bale reversing mechanism can be incorporated in a small space, and thus the dead position is reduced. A coil spring can be used as the point spring, and the bail can be rotated to the folding position.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 6 shows the bail 8 in the open position. On the other hand, when the folding knob 21 is in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the stopper lever 18 is in the position shown in FIG. 2 (at this time, the tip corner portion of the stopper lever 18 is in contact with the boss portion 2c). Therefore, when the bail 8 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction together with the first rotating member 7 from the open position of FIG. 6, the fan-shaped protrusion 7 is formed as shown in FIG.
One end of c contacts the front end of the stopper lever 18 and cannot rotate any more. The position where the bail 8 is prevented from rotating by the stopper lever 18 as shown in FIG. 2 is the closed position of the bail 8 in this embodiment. Further, when the folding knob 21 is moved upward from the position of FIG. 2,
Since the stopper lever 18 is rotated counterclockwise against the stopper spring 19 as shown in FIG.
Since the fan-shaped projection 7c does not come into contact with the stopper lever 18, the bail 8 passes through the closed position and the folding position shown in FIG. 7 (the other end of the fan-shaped projection 7c is the stopper projection 5b provided at the bottom of the recess 5). Can be rotated to the position where it comes into contact with.

On the other hand, when the bail 8 is between the open position (the position shown in FIG. 6) and the closed position (the position shown in FIG. 2), the tip end of the bail-side pin 30 penetrates into the spring accommodating body 11. Therefore, the spring container 11 rotates in the direction corresponding to the rotation position of the bail 8. Then, the tip of the bail-side pin 30 pushes the spring bearing 13 and compresses the coil spring 12 via the spring bearing 13, so that the bail 8 has a predetermined boundary position (the extension line of the axis of the coil spring 12 is When the coil spring 12 biases the bail 8 toward the open position via the spring bearing 15 and the bail-side pin 30, the bail 8 moves toward the open position. When the coil spring 12 is located closer to the closed position than the boundary position, the coil spring 12 is connected to the bail 8 via the bail-side pin 30 and the spring bearing 15.
Bias toward the closed position.

Further, when the bail 8 is in the closed position, the reversing lever 25 is biased to the position (non-contact position) shown in FIGS. 2 and 8 by the reversing lever spring 26, and even if the rotor 2 is rotated, The reversing lever 25 has the reversing lever contact portion 23.
Will not be touched. However, when casting,
When the bail 8 is rotated to the open position as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the spring housing 11 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 6, and the intermediate lever 17 is also rotated counterclockwise in FIG. Then, the reversing lever 25 is also rotated to the position shown in FIG. Therefore, after casting, when the fisherman rotates the handlebar 4 in the normal direction to rotate the rotor 2 in the normal direction, the reversing lever 25 is brought into contact with the reversing lever contact portion 23 and the rotor 2 is rotated.
And is rotated counterclockwise so as to return to the position (non-contact position) in FIG. 8, and the reversing lever 25 turns the bail 8 from the boundary position to the closed position side via the intermediate lever 17 and the spring housing 11. To move. Therefore, the coil spring 12 includes the spring receiver 13, the bail-side pin 30, and the first rotating member 7.
The bail 8 is biased to the closed position via. As a result, the veil 8 is automatically inverted.

Next, when the angler moves the folding knob 21 to the position shown in FIG. 7, the stopper lever 18 is moved as described above.
7 is rotated counterclockwise against the stopper spring 19, so that the fan-shaped projection 7c of the first rotating member 7 does not contact the stopper lever 18, so that the bail 8 is passed through the closed position. It can be rotated to the folding position. Then, at this time, the bail-side pin 30 escapes from the spring accommodating body 11, while the spring accommodating body 11 is held by the accommodating body spring 15 at a position (standby position) where it comes into contact with the side wall of the recess 5.

Next, when the bail 8 is returned from the folded position of FIG. 7 to the closed position of FIG. 2, the tip end side of the bail side pin 30 again enters the spring housing 11 held at the standby position. Then, when the bail 8 is completely returned to the closed position in FIG. 2, the tip end of the bail-side pin pushes the spring bearing 13, and the coil spring 12 is compressed via the spring bearing 13. In addition, the stopper lever 18
Is also rotated clockwise by the stopper spring 19 and returns to the non-contact position shown in FIGS.

In this reel, when the bail 8 is rotated to the folding position, the bail-side pin 30 is configured to escape from the spring accommodating body 11, so that a coil spring is used as a dead point spring of the bale reversing mechanism. 12
However, since the bail reversing mechanism can be incorporated in a small space, the coil spring 12 can be used as the dead point spring and the bail 8 can be rotated to the folding position.

[0021]

As described above, in the spinning reel according to the present invention, a coil spring is used as the dead point spring of the bale reversing mechanism so that the dead point spring has a long life and the bale is rotatable to the folding position. It is possible to obtain the excellent effect of being able to.
