Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a bale reversing device,
In particular, the bail arm, which is rotatably mounted on the rotor that is rotatably mounted on the reel body of the spinning reel, can swing freely between the line-winding position and the line-release position. The present invention relates to a bale reversing device for a spinning reel that returns to a yarn winding position from a bale.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, spinning reel rotors include:
A bail arm is provided for guiding the fishing line to the spool. The bail arm can take a line winding position in which the fishing line is guided to the outer periphery of the spool when winding the line, and a line releasing position in which the line is lowered from the line winding position so as not to be in the way when the line is pulled out from the spool. The rotor is also provided with a bale reversing device to maintain the bail arm in the line-winding position and the line-releasing position, and to return from the line-releasing position to the line-winding position in conjunction with the rotation of the rotor in the line-winding direction. .

A conventional bale reversing device is disclosed in
A device disclosed in -4839 is known. In this bail reversing device, a tip is locked near a swing center of a bail arm, a toggle spring mounted on a rotor, a tip is locked near a swing center of a bail arm, and a base end is a reel body. And a switching protrusion provided on the reel body so as to contact the moving member. The toggle spring distributes and urges the bail arm into two positions, and holds the bail arm in the two positions. The toggle spring has a coil spring housed in a recess formed in a rotor arm of the rotor, and a link member biased by the coil spring. The link member has a shaft member pressed by a coil spring, and a link attached to the tip of the shaft member so as to swing freely within a predetermined range. The tip of this link is locked near the swing center of the bail arm.

In the bale reversing device having such a configuration, when the bail arm swings to the line releasing posture, the moving member retreats to a position where it comes into contact with the switching protrusion. At this time, in the toggle spring, the shaft member retreats until the link exceeds the dead center while swinging, and when the link exceeds the dead center, the shaft member is urged by the coil spring to move forward. When the rotor rotates in the line winding direction, the moving member contacts the switching protrusion and moves forward. By this advance, the link swings and the shaft member moves backward until it exceeds the dead center. When the dead center is exceeded, the bail arm moves forward and returns to the line winding posture.

In such a spinning reel, when the fishing line is fed by casting, the fishing line is hooked with the forefinger of a forefinger in a state where the reverse rotation of the rotor is prohibited, and then the bail arm is reversed to the line releasing position. At this time, the rotor is rotated so that the line roller is on the fishing rod side so that the fishing line can be easily hooked. Then, he swings the fishing rod down, releases the fishing line from his forefinger in the middle, and waits for the device to land. After the device has landed, the handle is slightly rolled up when the device has properly settled, and the bail arm is returned to the line winding position by the bale reversing device.

[0006]

In the above-mentioned conventional configuration,
When the toggle spring urges the bail arm to return to the line winding position, the shaft member does not swing, and only the link swings with respect to the shaft member. Therefore, the biasing direction of the coil spring is different from the direction in which the link presses the bail arm. Therefore, the force transmitted from the shaft member to the bail arm via the link is reduced by the swing angle of the link, and the force by which the toggle spring returns the bail arm to the line winding position is weakened. If the biasing force of the coil spring is increased to prevent this, when the bail arm is reversed from the line winding position to the line releasing position, the force required for the reversal becomes large, making it difficult to reverse the bail arm.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to efficiently transmit the biasing force of a toggle spring to a bail arm in a bale reversing device for a spinning reel.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a bale reversing device for a spinning reel is mounted on a rotor rotatably mounted on a reel body of the spinning reel so as to swing freely between a line winding position and a line releasing position. The bale arm is returned from the yarn releasing posture to the yarn winding posture in conjunction with the rotation of the rotor in the yarn winding direction, and includes a moving member, a toggle spring mechanism, and a switching unit. The moving member has a base end locked to the bail arm, and a first position separated from the reel body corresponding to the yarn winding posture and a first position approaching the reel body corresponding to the yarn releasing posture in conjunction with the swing of the bail arm. It is a member provided at the rotor so that the tip can move at least back and forth between two positions. The tip of the toggle spring mechanism is rotatably locked at a position different from the locking position of the moving member of the bail arm,

Things.

In this bale reversing device, when the bail arm is reversed from the line winding position to the line releasing position, the other end of the moving member moves to the second position. At this time, the toggle spring mechanism once contracts to the dead point and then expands to urge the bail arm toward the line releasing posture. When the rotor rotates in the line winding direction in this state, the switching unit comes into contact with the tip of the moving member that has moved to the second position, and the moving member is pressed and moved toward the first position. Then, the bail arm swings toward the line winding posture. Then, when the dead point of the toggle spring mechanism is exceeded, the toggle spring mechanism extends and presses the bail arm toward the line winding posture. As a result, the bail arm is inverted to the line releasing position and held in that position. During the swing to the line winding posture, the biasing direction of the toggle spring mechanism changes according to the swing of the bail arm. Here, when the bail arm swings, the biasing force of the toggle spring mechanism changes in accordance with the swing of the bail arm, so that the biasing force of the toggle spring mechanism can be efficiently transmitted to the bail arm.

In this case, when the bail arm swings, one end of the moving member locked in the engagement recess pivots around the swing axis. Thereby, the other end of the moving member facing the rotation axis of the rotor is locked by the rotor and moves back and forth. Here, one end of the bent movable member is locked in the engagement groove of the bail arm, and the other end is freely locked back and forth, so that the swing motion of the bail arm can be controlled by the other of the movable member. It can be easily converted to the front and back linear motion of the end.

In this case, when the bail arm swings and one end of the moving member comes into contact with the end of the arc-shaped concave groove on the upstream side in the swinging direction, the moving member starts to move. Then, even when the movement of the moving member is completed, the bail arm is urged by the toggle spring mechanism and further swings until one end of the moving member comes into contact with the end of the concave groove on the downstream side in the swing direction. Therefore, the swing amount of the bail arm can be larger than the movement amount of the moving member.

The rear end portion 51c is bent inward from the intermediate portion 51b, and further bent toward the center (rotation axis) of the rotor 3. When the rear end portion 51c is oriented toward the center of the rotor 3 as described above, the force is smoothly transmitted when the switching member 52 is pressed against the switching member 52. Further, the distal end portion 51a is formed into the arc-shaped engagement concave groove 40.
By locking to the end of b, the amount of movement of the moving member 51 can be made smaller than the amount of swing of the bail arm at the time of swing by the length of the engagement concave groove 40b in the arc direction. Rear end 51

The braking member 65 is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the base end of the cylindrical portion 2e having a D-shaped cross section.
Therefore, the braking member 65 is mounted in a D-shape when viewed from the front. The straight portion of the braking member 65 is provided to bypass the switching member 52. The tip end edge 65b of the braking surface 65a of the braking member 65 is a rounded R surface. When the edge 65b of the braking surface 65a is configured in this manner, when the moving member 51 comes into contact with the braking member 65, the tip of the rounded moving member 51 is connected to the edge 65b of the braking member 65.
b makes smooth contact. Therefore, the switching of the posture of the bail arm 17 becomes smooth. An annular protrusion 2f is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 2e at a distance from the flange portion 2d, and the braking member 65 is mounted between the flange portion 2d and the annular protrusion 2f in contact with both. I have.

The switching member 52 is a member made of a synthetic resin such as nylon 66 or polyacetal. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the switching member 52 is attached to and detached from the flange portion 2d at a divided portion between the reel body 2a and the lid member 2b. It is freely attached. In the divided part of the reel body 2a and the lid member 2b,
A rectangular notch 53 is formed. Switching member 52
Has a cam portion 60 having an inclined surface 60a, a constricted portion 61 integrally formed with the cam portion 60, and a flange portion 62. The inclined surface 60a is an inclined surface in which the downstream side in the yarn winding rotation direction of the rotor 3 shown by an arrow in FIG. The constricted portion 61 has a size that fits into the notch 53, and
A gap having substantially the same size as the thickness of d is formed between the cam portion 60 and the flange portion 62. The flange portion 62 has a cross section larger than the constricted portion 61 and comes into contact with the back surface of the flange portion 2d.

When the cover member 2b is mounted on the reel body 2a, the switching member 52 having the above-described configuration fits, for example, a constricted portion 61 into a notch 53 on the reel body 2a side, and connects the cover member 2b to the reel body 2a. It can be fixed to the reel body 2 simply by screwing. Therefore, the switching member 52 can be easily fixed to the reel body 2 without using another fixing member. Further, even if the reel body 2 is made of a magnesium alloy that is easily corroded, the switching member 52 with which the moving member 51 comes into contact is a separate member from the reel body 2,
When the bail arm 17 is inverted, the reel body 2 is not damaged. Therefore, the progress of corrosion due to the scratch can be prevented. Further, a switching member 52 mounted on the reel body 2
Is made of a synthetic resin, which is a dielectric, so that the switching member 52
Is brought into contact with the reel body 2, the reel body 2 does not undergo electrolytic corrosion.

The toggle spring mechanism 50 having the above-described structure is
It is possible to take a first position as shown in FIG. 3A and a second position as shown in FIG. 3B. The first position corresponds to the yarn winding posture of the bail arm 17, and the second position corresponds to the yarn releasing posture of the bail arm 17. Further, the movable member 51 can move back and forth between the separated position shown in FIG. 3A and the contact position shown in FIG. This separation position corresponds to the yarn winding posture, and the contact position corresponds to the yarn winding posture. In the contact position, the end surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 contacts the braking surface 65a so that the braking surface 65a is slightly compressed on the back side of the front end surface of the braking member 65. Therefore, the moving member 51
The braking force does not fluctuate even if the moving position, i.e., the contact position fluctuates in the axial direction. When the rotor 3 rotates in the line winding direction at the contact position, the peripheral surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 comes into contact with the inclined surface 60a of the switching member 52, and the moving member 51 is pressed forward toward the separated posture. Is done.

As shown in FIG. 2, a reverse rotation preventing mechanism 70 for inhibiting or canceling the reverse rotation of the rotor 3 is disposed inside the cylindrical portion 30 of the rotor 3. The reverse rotation prevention mechanism 70 has a roller type one-way clutch, and the reverse rotation of the rotor 3 is inhibited / released by switching the one-way clutch between an active state and a non-active state. Spool 4
Is disposed between the first rotor arm 31 and the second rotor arm 32 of the rotor 3, and is attached to the tip of the spool shaft 15 via a drag mechanism 71. Spool 4
A bobbin trunk 4a around which a fishing line is wound around an outer periphery, a skirt portion 4b integrally formed at a rear portion of the bobbin trunk 4a,
Flange part 4 integrally formed on the front end of bobbin trunk 4a
c.

[Operation and Operation of Reel] At the time of casting, the reverse rotation preventing mechanism 70 sets the rotor 3 in the reverse rotation prohibited state, and reverses the bail arm 17 to the line releasing posture. When the bail arm 17 is reversed to the line releasing posture, the first bail support member 40 and the second bale support member 42 are tilted rearward, and the bale reversing mechanism 18 is moved to the second position as shown in FIG. Be placed. When the bail arm 17 is in the line releasing position, the fishing line from the spool 4 can be easily drawn out.

In the swing from the line winding position to the line releasing position, in the toggle spring mechanism 50, the rod 55 gradually retracts in FIG. To reach the second position shown in FIG. At this time, they retreat until the dead center is exceeded. When the dead center is exceeded, the rod 55 advances by the urging force of the coil spring 57 to switch the bail arm 17 to the line releasing position and hold it in that position.

When the bail arm 17 swings to the line releasing position, when the leading end 51a of the moving member 51 comes into contact with the end of the engaging groove 40b on the upstream side in the swinging direction, the moving member 51 comes into contact with the separated position. Start moving towards the position. Then, when reaching the second position, the end surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 slightly bites into the braking surface 65a of the braking member 65 and comes into elastic contact. As a result, the rotor 3 is braked and its rotational phase is maintained. At this time, since the end surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 slightly bites into the braking surface 65a of the braking member 65 and is elastically in contact therewith, even if the contact position of the moving member 51 is shifted in the axial direction, the contact The state does not change and the braking force does not change. Also, since the moving member 51 is elastically in contact with the braking member 65 and only the rotor 3 is braked by friction, the rotation phase can be easily changed by rotating the rotor 3 by hand or by rotating the handle 1. Can be adjusted. That is, since the rotor 3 is braked by the frictional force and the rotation phase is maintained, the rotor 3 does not rotate when the bail arm 17 is in the line releasing posture. Therefore, problems caused by unexpected rotation of the rotor 3 during casting or summing can be solved. In addition, since the rotor 3 is only braked by friction, if a force is applied to the rotor 3, the rotor 3 can be easily turned to adjust the rotation phase.

In this state, the fishing rod is cast while hooking the fishing line with the index finger of the hand holding the fishing rod. Then, the fishing line is released vigorously by the weight of the device.
After the casting, when the handle 1 is rotated in the yarn winding direction with, for example, the left hand while the bail arm 17 is maintained in the yarn releasing position, the rotor 3 is rotated by the rotor drive mechanism 5 in the yarn winding direction. When the rotor 3 rotates in the line winding direction, the bail arm 17 is returned to the line winding position by the bail reversing mechanism 18.

Specifically, in FIGS. 5 and 6, the moving member 51 rotates clockwise together with the rotor 3. Then, the peripheral surface of the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 is
Abuts against the inclined surface 60a of the switching member 52 fixed to the side. As a result, the moving member 51 is pressed forward, and FIG.
Then, the first bail support member 40 is swung to the line winding posture. Accordingly, the guide member 56 of the toggle spring mechanism 50 swings from the second position shown in FIG. 3B to the first position shown in FIG. Then, when the dead center is exceeded, the rod 55 advances by the urging force of the coil spring 57, and switches the bail arm 17 to the line winding posture and holds it in that posture. When the bail arm 17 returns to the line winding posture, the first bail support member 40 and the second bail support member 42
As shown in FIG. When the bail arm 17 returns to the line winding posture, the fishing line is guided to the spool 4 by the bail arm 17 and wound around the spool 4.

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, the toggle spring mechanism 50 is constituted by the rod 55, the guide member 56 and the coil spring 57. However, as shown in FIG. Rod 8
1 and a coil spring 82 arranged on the outer peripheral side of the rod 81.

The rod 81 of the toggle spring mechanism 80 has a locking portion 81a at its tip bent toward the first bail support member 40 so as to be locked in the engagement hole 40a of the first bale support member 40. ing. Further, the rod 81 is provided with a locking projection 8 for locking the distal end of the coil spring 82 at the intermediate portion.
1b, and a slightly curved portion 81c at the rear end. A washer 83 with which the tip of the coil spring 82 abuts is mounted on the locking projection 81b, whereby the force is uniformly transmitted to the rod 81 from the tip of the coil spring 82.

The coil spring 82 is guided in contact with a guide sheet 84 made of a synthetic resin such as nylon 66 mounted on the arm 31b. The guide sheet 84
The coil spring 82 has a wall portion 84a that is bent so as to guide and lock one surface of the coil spring 82. Wall 84
“a” has a height capable of contacting the side and the base end of the coil spring 82. Accordingly, the coil spring 82 easily expands and contracts, and the arm portion 31b is not damaged when the coil spring 82 expands and contracts.

The distal end of the coil spring 82, which is locked by the washer 83, has a smaller diameter than other portions. As a result, a large gap is formed between the coil spring 82 and the rod 81 except at the distal end, and the rod 8
Even if 1 changes the posture, the coil spring 82 is less likely to be deformed. Further, the first cover member 31c is provided on the arm portion 31b.
A boss portion 85 having a screw hole for mounting the boss 85 is formed. Even in the bail reversing mechanism having the toggle spring mechanism 80 having such a configuration, the first movement by the coil spring 82 at the time of swinging is performed.
Since the biasing direction of the bail support member 40 changes, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

In such an embodiment, a boss that contacts the inner peripheral surface of the base end of the coil spring 82 and a cover that covers the outer peripheral surface of the base end are provided to lock the base end of the coil spring 82. You may make it. Further, the boss portion and the cover portion may be attached to the arm portion 31b so as to swing around an axis parallel to the swing axis of the first bail support member 40. For example, it is conceivable that an arc-shaped convex portion is formed on the base end surface of the boss portion, and an arc-shaped concave portion is formed in the arm portion 31b so as to engage with the arc-shaped convex portion.

(B) In the above embodiment, the braking member is made of synthetic rubber. However, as long as it has elasticity, it may be made of metal, synthetic resin, wood such as cork, leather material or the like. (C) In the above-described embodiment, the moving member 51 is made of a metal wire. However, the moving member is not limited to this, as long as the rear end moves back and forth and comes into contact with the braking surface of the braking member. Any form may be used.

(D) In the above embodiment, the bail reversing mechanism 18 is mounted on the first rotor arm 31 side, but may be mounted on the second rotor arm 32 side. (E) In the above embodiment, the inclined surface 60a of the switching member 52
Has been configured with an inclined surface whose protrusion amount increases from the upstream side to the downstream side in the yarn winding rotation direction, but as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in addition to the inclined surface 60a, An inclined surface 60b may be formed so that the amount of protrusion decreases toward the downstream side in the yarn winding rotation direction. When the inclined surface 60b in which the amount of protrusion is reduced is formed, the switching member 52 becomes a mountain-shaped inclined surface. As a result, when the bail arm 17 is in the line releasing position, even if the moving member 51 comes into contact with the switching member 52 due to the reverse rotation (rotation in the line feeding direction), the moving member 51 of the bail reversing mechanism 18 is inclined. It is smoothly guided by the switching member 52 on the surface 60b, and is less likely to be damaged. The switching member 52 having the two inclined surfaces 60a and 60b can be applied to a switching member integrally formed with the reel body 2 and can also be applied to a bail reversing mechanism having no braking member.

(F) In the above embodiment, the rear end portion 51c of the moving member 51 is guided back and forth by the long hole 36. However, the long hole 36 is arranged not in the full front-rear direction but slightly to the left and right. The rear end 51c may be guided obliquely. By guiding the rear end portion 51c obliquely in this manner, the rear end portion 51c can be directed toward the center of the rotor 3 in the yarn releasing posture. Further, when the rear end portion 51c is directed toward the center of the rotor 3, it is not necessary to bend the rear end portion 51c further toward the center of the rotor 3.

(G) In the above embodiment, the tip of the rear end 51c of the moving member 51 is rounded. However, the tip of the rear end 51c may be curved to contact the braking surface 65a of the braking member 65. Good. (H) In the above embodiment, the switching member 52 is connected to the flange 2
d, but may be formed integrally with the flange 2d.
