Drag device for a dual-bearing reel
A drag device for a dual bearing reel includes a drag device, a sound generating member, and a housing member. The drag plate is integrally rotatable with the drive shaft, and is capable of being pressed by a drag adjustment member. The drag plate includes a sound generating plate opposed to the drive gear. The sound generating member includes a head portion configured to contact the sound generating plate, and a shaft portion connected to the head portion. The sound generating member is configured to generate a sound by interference between the sound generating plate and the head portion during relative rotation between the drive gear and the drag plate. The housing member is configured to be mounted to the drive gear and includes a holding portion to hold the shaft portion of the sound generating member, and a regulating portion configured to regulate movement of the head portion.
1. A drag device for a dual bearing reel for regulating relative rotation between a drive gear and a drive shaft, comprising:
a drag plate configured to be integrally rotatable with the drive shaft and to be pressed by a drag adjustment member, the drag plate comprising a sound generating plate that is configured to oppose the drive gear;
a sound generating member comprising a head portion configured to contact the sound generating plate, and a shaft portion connected to the head portion; the sound generating member configured to generate a sound by interference between the sound generating plate and the head portion during relative rotation between the drive gear and the drag plate; and
a housing member configured to be mounted to the drive gear and comprising a holding portion to hold the shaft portion of the sound generating member, and a regulating portion configured to regulate movement of the head portion.
2. The drag device for a dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , wherein
the holding portion comprises a hole, and
the shaft portion is disposed in the hole.
3. The drag device for a dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , wherein
the regulating portion is configured to regulate movement of the head portion in a circumferential direction.
4. The drag device for a dual-hearing reel recited in claim 3 , wherein
the regulating portion comprises a pair of opposing surfaces facing each other in the circumferential direction, and
the head portion is disposed between the pair of opposing surfaces.
5. The drag device for a dual-bearing reel recited in claim 4 , wherein
the regulating portion comprises a pair of protrusions that protrude from the holding portion so as to face each other in the circumferential direction, and the pair of protrusions comprising the opposing surfaces.
6. The drag device for a dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , further comprising
a biasing member configured to bias the sound generating member toward the sound generating plate, the biasing member being disposed in the holding portion.
7. The drag device for a dual-bearing reel recited in claim 6 , wherein
the holding portion comprises a hole,
the shaft portion is disposed in the hole, and
the biasing member is disposed between the shaft portion and the hole.
