Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention includes a winding trunk on which a fishing line is wound, and a flange extending radially outward from both sides of the winding trunk. And a reel for supporting the spool.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a fishing reel as described above,
There has been a demand for knowing the winding length of the fishing line on the winding body of the spool and the feeding length of the fishing line from the winding body of the spool. Various configurations for responding to this demand are known, for example, from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-276011 and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 48-91190.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-276011 discloses that the winding length of a fishing line and the length of the fishing line from the spool body are determined based on the number and direction of rotation of the spool and the diameter of the fishing line wound on the spool body. It discloses an arithmetic device for calculating the payout length of the fishing line, and a colored groove formed in the flange portion of the spool to indicate a predetermined winding number position of the fishing line on the winding body of the spool. .

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 48-91190 shows the length of a fishing line that is formed at a plurality of positions circumferentially spaced apart from each other on the inner surface of a flange portion of a spool and is fed out from the winding body of the spool. The scale is disclosed.

[0005]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention
If a groove is formed in the flange portion of the spool as described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 1 (1993), the strength of the flange portion is weakened, and the flange portion is easily bent in a direction along the rotation center line of the spool.
If the flange portion of the spool bends outward in the direction along the rotation center line of the spool, the thread may fall off from the flange portion or the flange portion bent outward may come into contact with the outer frame of the reel body. Poor spool rotation is likely to occur.
Therefore, in order to prevent outward deflection of the flange portion of the spool, the flange portion in which the groove is formed must be set to be thicker than the flange portion in which the groove is not formed,
This increases the mass of the spool, thereby increasing the inertial force generated by the spool, and also makes it difficult to perform a delicate operation of the spool, so that the so-called backlash of the fishing line easily occurs. Therefore, it is not suitable for fishing that requires delicate operation of the spool.

[0006] Furthermore, the coloring operation for the grooves is complicated, which complicates the manufacture of the spool. 48-91190
The scale described in the publication is hard to see at a glance, and the scale is not visible during rotation of the spool.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to enable a delicate operation of a spool, to be easy to manufacture, and to wind the spool around the spool while the spool is rotating or stopped. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel in which the winding length of a turned fishing line and the feeding length of a fishing line from a winding body of a spool can be seen at a glance.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the present invention, a fishing reel according to the present invention comprises: a winding trunk on which a fishing line is wound; and both side portions of the winding trunk. And a spool body including a flange portion projecting outward in the radial direction of the winding body portion, and a reel body supporting the spool. The present invention is characterized in that the flange portion has a different color tone between the outside and the inside in the radial direction from the boundary so that a predetermined amount of the fishing line can be identified.

In the fishing reel according to the present invention having the above-described structure, the coloring does not weaken the structure of the flange portion of the spool unlike the above-mentioned conventional groove, so that the spool is not colored. The spool can be delicately operated without increasing the weight for strengthening the strength, thereby effectively suppressing the occurrence of so-called backlash of the fishing line.

Coloring also facilitates the manufacture of the spool as compared to the conventional grooves described above, and of course makes the spool much easier to manufacture than the conventional grooves. Furthermore, unlike the conventional grooves and scales described above, the winding length of the fishing line in the winding body of the spool and the payout length of the fishing line from the winding body are different from that of the conventional groove and scale described above, even when the spool is rotating or stopped. You can see at a glance.

In the fishing reel according to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, the predetermined amount of the fishing line is a specified maximum amount of the fishing line wound around the winding body. I can do it.

In a fishing reel according to the present invention having the above-described structure, a plurality of predetermined portions of a fishing line wound around a spool are provided as a plurality of boundaries, and the flange portion is provided with the plurality of the plurality of fishing lines. It is possible to distinguish a plurality of predetermined amounts of the fishing line at a glance by making the tone different from each other between the outside and the inside in the radial direction than each of the boundaries.

For the coloring in the present invention, a known coloring method most suitable for the material of the portion to be colored in the spool can be adopted. And hot stamping as well as plating, oxide film creation, ion plating,
Physical vapor deposition (PVD) such as evaporation and sputtering
Method), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), thermal spraying, and the like.
