Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dual-bearing reel, and more particularly to a dual-bearing reel having a lever drag mechanism for braking a spool by moving a spool or a spool shaft in an axial direction by a lever.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a dual bearing reel, a lever drag type dual bearing reel in which a spool or a spool shaft is axially moved by a lever to brake the spool is known.
The dual-bearing reel includes a reel body having a pair of side plates, a spool shaft rotatably supported by the reel body, and a spool rotatably supported by the spool shaft.
It has a lever drag mechanism for braking the spool, and a rotation transmission mechanism for rotating the spool by rotation of the handle.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-167731 discloses a lever-drag type dual-bearing reel having a clutch mechanism that enables free rotation of a spool. The clutch mechanism is provided in the middle of the transmission path of the rotation transmission mechanism. For example, the clutch mechanism is provided between the spool shaft and the spool so as to transmit and cut off the rotation by connecting and disconnecting the spool shaft and the spool. It has become.

[0004] The clutch mechanism is operated by an operating lever interlocked with a drag lever for operating the lever drag mechanism. Therefore, the operation of the clutch and the drag operation are performed by one drag lever.

[0005]

In the lever-drag type dual-bearing reel having the conventional clutch mechanism, the operation of the clutch mechanism and the operation of the lever drag mechanism are performed by the drag lever. The drag lever must be operated even when the robot is in a free rotation state. For this reason, even if the drag force of the lever drag mechanism is set to an optimal value by the drag lever, there is a problem that the set drag force cannot be immediately returned to when the clutch operation is performed.

Therefore, it is conceivable to operate the clutch mechanism and the lever drag mechanism independently. Thus, once the drag force of the lever drag mechanism is set to the optimum value, the set drag force can be immediately restored to the set clutch transmission state even when the clutch is in the disengaged state. When the clutch mechanism is provided on a lever-drag type dual-bearing reel, it is better to dispose the clutch mechanism on the opposite side of the lever-drag mechanism with the spool interposed therebetween due to space limitations. For this reason, the mechanism is simplified when the clutch operation lever is provided not on the handle but on the side opposite to the handle.

When the operation of the clutch mechanism is performed separately from the operation of the lever drag mechanism in such a lever-drag type dual-bearing reel, a fish catches while the clutch is disengaged and the mechanism is thrown to a predetermined depth. When it becomes necessary to wind the handle, it is difficult to raise the device instantly. This is because the clutch operation lever for operating the clutch mechanism is on the opposite side of the handle, so that it is difficult to instantaneously perform the transmission operation for bringing the clutch mechanism into the transmission state and the operation of the handle. That is, to operate the clutch operating lever to bring the clutch mechanism into the transmitting state and then rotate the handle in the hoisting direction, change the hand holding the fishing rod, or operate the clutch operating lever with the hand that operates the handle, and then move the handle. This is because it is necessary to perform an operation, and a time lag occurs between the operation of transmitting the clutch and the operation of the handle.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a dual bearing reel having a clutch mechanism and a lever drag mechanism so that a handle operation and a switching operation to a transmission state of a clutch mechanism can be instantaneously and easily performed.

[0009]

A dual bearing reel according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a reel body, a handle member, a spool shaft,
It includes a spool, a rotation transmission mechanism, a lever drag mechanism, a clutch mechanism, a clutch operation unit, and an interlock switching mechanism. The handle member includes a handle shaft rotatably supported by the reel body. The spool shaft is arranged parallel to the handle shaft. The spool is mounted on a spool shaft. The rotation transmission mechanism is a mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the handle shaft to the spool. The lever drag mechanism is a mechanism that is provided concentrically with the spool in the middle of the transmission path of the rotation transmission mechanism, and that brakes the spool by moving the spool or the spool shaft in the axial direction with respect to the reel body. The clutch mechanism is provided in the middle of the transmission path of the rotation transmission mechanism, and is a mechanism that transmits and blocks the rotation of the handle shaft. The clutch operating section is for operating the clutch mechanism in a transmission / disconnection state. The interlock switching mechanism is
The mechanism switches the clutch mechanism to the transmission state in conjunction with rotation of the handle shaft in the line winding direction when the clutch mechanism is operated by the clutch operation unit to the disconnected state.

In this dual bearing reel, when the handle shaft rotates by the handle member, the rotation is transmitted to the spool by the rotation transmitting mechanism. A lever drag mechanism and a clutch mechanism are provided in the middle of this rotation transmission mechanism,
When the clutch mechanism is turned off by the operation of the clutch operation unit, the spool becomes freely rotatable. Normal,
When the mechanism is inserted, the clutch mechanism is disengaged by the clutch operating section, and the fishing line is paid out by its own weight. At this time, if fish catches on the tackle before reaching the predetermined water depth, the fishing line cannot be wound unless the clutch mechanism is set to the transmission state. In this case, the handle member is operated in the line winding direction. As a result, the handle shaft rotates in the line winding direction, and the clutch mechanism is switched to the transmission state by the interlocking switching mechanism. Therefore, the fish can be taken in by rotating the handle member in the line winding direction. At this time, the fishing line may be paid out by pulling the fish. The drag force at this time is set by a lever drag mechanism. Here, since the operation of the clutch mechanism from the disengaged state to the transmission state can be performed only by operating the handle member without operating the clutch operation lever, the operation of the steering wheel and the switching operation of the clutch mechanism to the transmission state can be instantly and easily performed. Will be able to do it.

And a clutch member that can be engaged and disengaged.

In this case, when the clutch member is moved in the axial direction from the clutch operating portion, the clutch member is locked by the locking member, the spool shaft and the spool are connected, and rotation is transmitted from the spool shaft to the spool. Is done. Further, when the clutch operating portion moves the clutch member to the other side in the axial direction, the clutch member is disengaged from the locking member, the connection between the spool shaft and the spool is released, and the rotation of the spool shaft is not transmitted to the spool. In this state, the spool enters a free rotation state. Here, the spool can be freely rotated regardless of the pressed state of the lever drag mechanism by a simple operation of moving the clutch member in the axial direction by operating the clutch operation section.

A dual bearing reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the reel according to the second aspect, wherein the clutch operating portion is movably mounted on the reel body at a transmission position where the clutch mechanism is in a transmission state and a disconnection position where the clutch mechanism is in a disconnected state. And a clutch switching mechanism for moving the clutch member in the axial direction by moving the clutch operation lever. In this case, when the clutch operation lever is moved to the transmission position, the clutch switching mechanism moves to move the clutch member in one of the axial directions, and the clutch mechanism enters the transmission state. When the clutch operation lever is moved to the disengagement position, the clutch switching mechanism moves to move the clutch member to the other axial direction, and the clutch mechanism is disengaged.
Here, the clutch mechanism can be easily switched between the transmission state and the disconnection state by moving the clutch operation lever.

A dual bearing reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the dual bearing reel according to the third aspect, wherein the clutch switching mechanism is held at the clutch operating lever when the clutch operating lever is at the transmission position, and the clutch is switched when the clutch operating lever is at the disengaged position. A toggle spring mechanism for holding the switching mechanism at the position is further provided. In this case, when the clutch operating lever is operated, the clutch switching mechanism is held at two positions, so that the clutch mechanism can be switched by simply operating the clutch operating lever lightly, and the state after the switching is reliably maintained. it can.

The clutch operating lever has an engaging portion that can be engaged with the clutch return portion of the rotating member when the clutch operating lever is located at the disengaged position, and the clutch returning portion engages with the engaging portion when the rotating member rotates in the line winding direction. At the same time, the clutch operating lever is moved from the disengaged position to the transmission position. In this case, when the rotation transmitting mechanism rotates in the line winding direction when the clutch operating lever is in the disengaged position, the rotating member also rotates in the same direction, and the clutch return portion of the rotating member is engaged with the engaging portion of the clutch operating lever. At the same time, the clutch operating lever moves from the disengaged position to the transmission position. Here, the clutch mechanism can be switched from the disengaged state to the transmission state with a simple configuration by operating the handle.

A dual bearing reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the reel according to any of the third to fifth aspects, wherein the clutch operating lever is disposed at a rear portion of the reel body. In this case, the operation of the clutch operation lever is easy when performing the summing, and the erroneous operation is reduced because it is away from the operation position of the drag lever. A dual-bearing reel according to a seventh aspect is the reel according to any one of the first to sixth aspects,
A lever drag mechanism is mounted on the spool shaft so as to be non-rotatable and is movable in the axial direction together with the spool shaft, and a friction member disposed so as to be able to be pressed against the braking member and non-rotatable in the line payout direction. A spool shaft moving mechanism for moving the spool shaft in the axial direction with respect to the reel body to press the braking member against the friction member. In this case, in the rotation transmission mechanism, the rotation from the handle shaft is transmitted to the friction member, and the rotation is transmitted from the friction member to the spool via the spool shaft and the clutch mechanism. Also,
When the spool rotates in the line payout direction due to the pulling of the fish on the device, the rotation of the spool is transmitted to the braking member via the clutch mechanism and the spool shaft. At this time, since the friction member cannot be rotated in the line feeding direction,
The spool is braked by the relative rotation of the brake member and the friction member pressed against each other. Here, since the spool is not braked directly but via the spool shaft, it is easy to arrange a clutch mechanism between the spool and the spool shaft.

A dual bearing reel according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the reel according to the seventh aspect, further comprising a reverse rotation inhibiting means for inhibiting rotation of the handle shaft in the line payout direction. In this case, since the reverse rotation of the friction member (rotation in the line feeding direction) can be prohibited by the reverse rotation prohibiting means, the reverse rotation of the friction member can be prohibited with a simple configuration. The dual bearing reel according to the ninth aspect of the present invention provides the dual bearing reel according to the seventh aspect.
Or the reel according to 8, wherein the rotation transmission mechanism has a pinion gear rotatably supported on the spool shaft and rotating integrally with the friction member, and a main gear non-rotatably mounted on the handle shaft and meshing with the pinion gear. The rotating member is an interlocking gear that meshes with the main gear. In this case, when the main gear rotates in the line winding direction, the interlocking gear rotates, and the clutch operating lever is moved from the disengaged position to the transmission position by the clutch return portion of the interlocked gear. Here, since the clutch operating lever is moved to the transmission position by the interlocking gear that rotates in conjunction with the main gear, the drive loss for moving the clutch operating lever is reduced.

It has a cam member for moving to one side and an urging member for urging the spool shaft to the other side in the axial direction. In this case, when the drag lever is swung in one direction, the cam member moves the cap member to one side of the spool shaft, and the cap member moves the spool shaft to one side in the axial direction. On the other hand, when the drag lever is swung to the opposite side, the spool shaft is urged by the urging member to move to the other side.
Here, the cam mechanism can convert the rotational movement into a linear movement in the axial direction, and press the spool shaft with a large force with a small operating force to move the spool shaft in the axial direction.

The dual-bearing reel according to the eleventh aspect is the same as the tenth aspect.
, The cap member is mounted on the spool shaft via a thrust bearing so as to be rotatable and immovable in the axial direction. In this case, since the thrust force between the cap member and the spool shaft is completely received by the thrust bearing, the rotation of the spool shaft is always smooth even when the axial force acts on the spool shaft during drag operation. is there.

To hold the clutch cam 76 at each position.

The clutch yoke 77 includes a semicircular abutting portion 77a disposed on the outer peripheral side of the spool shaft 5 and a contacting portion 7a.
7a and a support portion 77b extending radially outward from both ends. The support portion 77b is supported by the guide shaft 80 so as to be movable in the axial direction. The guide shaft 80 is fixed to the fixed plate 11c.
And are arranged symmetrically with respect to the spool shaft 5 and in parallel with the spool shaft 5. A return spring 81 is wound around the guide shaft 80 in a compressed state, and the clutch yoke 77 is moved by the return spring 81 in FIG.
It is biased to the right (clutch engagement direction).

In this clutch device 7, the clutch operating lever 75 is swung clockwise in FIG. 7 and the clutch cam 76 is rotated counterclockwise, so that the clutch yoke 77 becomes inclined cam portions 76b and 76c of the clutch cam 76. , The clutch cam 76 presses the clutch yoke 77. As a result, the clutch yoke 77 moves outward in the axial direction, the clutch member 71 moves outward in the axial direction, the engagement between the clutch engaging hole 82a and the clutch projection 71c is released, and the clutch mechanism 69 enters the disconnected state. Become. Conversely, the clutch yoke 77 is disengaged from the inclined cam portions 76b and 76c of the clutch cam 76 by swinging the clutch operation lever 75 counterclockwise in FIG. 7 and rotating the clutch cam 76 clockwise. As a result, the clutch yoke 77 moves inward in the axial direction due to the pressing force of the return spring 81, the clutch member 71 moves inward in the axial direction, and the clutch engagement hole 82a and the clutch projection 71c engage to engage the clutch mechanism 69. Becomes a transmission state.

The interlock switching mechanism 18 has an interlock gear 85 rotatably supported by the side cover 13b. The interlocking gear 85 is disposed inside the side cover 13b and meshes with the main gear 60. A pair of return pins 86 disposed facing each other is fixed to the outer peripheral side surface of the interlocking gear 85. The return pin 86 is for returning the clutch mechanism 69 from the disconnected state to the transmission state.
It extends outward along 8. When the clutch operating lever 75 is in the disengaged position, the handle 72
An engaging part 72c formed at the tip of the arm part 72b is engageable. Further, when the return pin 86 is in the transmission position,
The engaging portion 72c cannot be engaged. Here, when the handle 3 rotates in the line winding direction when the clutch operating lever 75 is in the disengaged position, and the interlocking gear 85 meshing with the main gear 60 rotates in the line winding direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. The engaging portion 72c of the handle 72 is kicked, and the clutch operation lever 75 swings to the transmission position side. Thereby, the operation from the blocking position to the transmission position can be performed in conjunction with the winding operation of the handle 3.

As shown in FIG. 4, the level wind mechanism 8 has a screw shaft 90 rotatably supported by the side plates 11a and 11b in front of the spool 4, and is disposed along the screw shaft 90 around the screw shaft 90. And a fishing line guide 92 guided by the guide member 91. Screw shaft 90
Is a second plate disposed between the side plate 11a and the side cover 13a.
It rotates in conjunction with the spool 4 by the rotation transmission mechanism 9b. On the outer peripheral surface of the screw shaft 90, intersecting spiral grooves 90a are formed over a predetermined length. Fishing line guide 92
Is provided with an engaging member (not shown) that engages with the spiral groove 90a of the screw shaft 90.
By engaging with 0a, the fishing line guide 92 reciprocates along the spool shaft 5 according to the rotation of the screw shaft 90. An elliptical hard ring 98 for guiding the fishing line is mounted on the fishing line guide 92 as shown in FIG.

The second rotation transmitting mechanism 9b has a first gear 95 mounted on the outer surface of the clutch plate 82 on the end face of the flange 4b of the spool 4, and a second gear mounted on the side plate 11a so as to mesh with the first gear 95. It comprises a second gear 96 and a third gear 97 mounted on one end of the screw shaft 90 and meshing with the second gear 96. Here, the rotation of the spool 4 is transmitted to the screw shaft 90 via three gears 95 to 97, and the fishing line guide 92 reciprocates in conjunction with the spool 4.

In the dual-bearing reel configured as described above, when lowering the mechanism, the clutch operating lever 75 is operated to bring the clutch mechanism 69 into the disconnected state. As a result, the spool 4 enters a free rotation state, and the fishing line is paid out by its own weight. At this time, regardless of the position of the drag lever 2, the clutch operating lever 75
The clutch mechanism 69 is brought into the cut-off state only by operating the spool 4 in the cut-off position, and the spool 4 can be easily brought into the free rotation state.

When it is confirmed by the liquid crystal display section 16 that the mechanism has reached a predetermined water depth, the clutch operating lever 75 is operated from the disengaged position to the transmitting position, and the clutch mechanism 69 is brought into the transmitting state. At this time, the clutch operation lever 75 may be rotated to the transmission position by slightly rotating the handle 3 in the line winding direction. When the clutch mechanism 69 is set in the transmission state, the one-way clutches 62 and 63 prohibit the rotation of the handle shaft 31 in the line let-out direction, so that the reverse rotation of the spool shaft 5 is performed via the drag mechanism 6 and the first rotation transmission mechanism 9a. It is forbidden and the feeding of the thread stops. In this state, if fish catches on the device, the spool 4 tends to rotate in the line payout direction due to the fish being pulled. At this time, the fishing line is paid out with a predetermined drag force set by operating the drag lever 2. Here, when the drag lever 2 is swung clockwise in FIG.
8, the spool shaft 5 moves to the right in FIG.
5 and the friction disk 56 come into strong contact, and the braking force increases.
On the other hand, when the drag lever 2 is pivoted counterclockwise in FIG. 2, the disc shaft 29 returns the spool shaft 5 to the left in FIG. The pressing force of the plates 55 and 56 becomes weak, and the drag force becomes weak. And, during the drag operation, the two disks 55,
When the relative rotation of 56 occurs, the friction disk 56 and the cover disk 57
The sound output pin 66 of the second sound generation mechanism 64 disposed between
Repeatedly collides with the cover disk 57 and makes a sound with the relatively thin cover disk 57. As a result, the angler is immediately notified that the drag has been activated.

When a fish catches during the lowering of the device, the handle 3 is rotated in the line winding direction. As a result, the interlocking gear 85 rotates in the line winding direction, and the engaging portion 72c of the handle 72 at the blocking position
Is kicked by. As a result, the clutch operation lever 75 swings to the transmission position side, the clutch cam 76 rotates, the clutch member 71 is engaged with the clutch plate 82, and the clutch mechanism 69 enters the transmission state. At this time, the clutch cam 76 swings to the transmission position by the toggle spring mechanism 74 without fail. For this reason, the clutch mechanism 69 returns instantaneously from the disengaged state to the transmission state only by rotating the handle 3 in the line winding direction, and the fish that has been caught can be taken in simply by continuing to rotate the handle.

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, the handle portion of the clutch operation lever 75 is arranged on the side cover 13b on the handle 3 side.
It may be arranged on the opposite side cover 13a. (B) In the above embodiment, the interlocking switching mechanism is configured by the interlocking gear that interlocks with the main gear. However, the configuration of the interlocking switching mechanism is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be a configuration that interlocks with the rotation of the handle. Any configuration may be used.
