ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a transmission structure of a fishing reel, and more particularly to a transmission structure of a fishing reel, wherein the slide block is juxtaposed to the actuating gear and the drive gear, thereby reducing the volume.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional transmission structure of a fishing reel of the prior art shown in
FIG. 1
comprises a housing
10
, a gear transmission set
11
mounted in the housing
10
and having a gear
12
, and a drive rod
13
mounted on a periphery of the gear
12
. The drive rod
13
of the gear
12
may slide in a guide groove
15
in a slide
14
, so that the slide
14
may move reciprocally to drive a spindle
16
of the fishing reel to move reciprocally. The slide
14
is provided with a guide rod
17
, and the inner wall of the housing
10
is provided with a guide slot
18
to mate with the guide rod
17
.
However, the conventional transmission structure of a fishing reel of the prior art has the following disadvantages.
1. The slide
14
needs to be provided with a guide rod
17
, and the inner wall of the housing
10
needs to be provided with a guide slot
18
to mate with the guide rod
17
, thereby increasing cost of fabrication and material.
2. The guide rod
17
and the guide
18
occupy large space, so that the fishing reel has a larger volume.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantage of the conventional transmission structure of a fishing reel.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a transmission structure of a fishing reel, wherein the slide block is juxtaposed to the actuating gear and the drive gear, thereby reducing the volume of the transmission structure of the fishing reel.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a transmission structure of a fishing reel, wherein the slide block is secured on the distal end of the spindle of the fishing reel, thereby reducing the volume of the transmission structure of the fishing reel.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a transmission structure of a fishing reel, wherein the locking column secured in the housing may function as a guide structure for guiding movement of the slide block, thereby reducing the volume of the transmission structure of the fishing reel.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a transmission structure of a fishing reel, comprising:
a housing, a gear transmission set mounted in the housing, a guide member mounted in the housing, and a slide block mounted in the housing, the gear transmission set including a handle secured with an actuating gear for rotating the actuating gear which drives and rotates an idler which meshes with a drive gear to rotate the drive gear, a drive rod eccentrically secured on a periphery of the drive gear to rotate therewith, the drive rod slidably mounted in a guide track formed in the slide block, so that the slide block may be moved reciprocally by actuating of the drive rod, so as to drive a spindle to move reciprocally, wherein:
the guide member is an elongated locking column that may mate with a screw to lock and secure the housing;
the slide block is juxtaposed to the actuating gear and the drive gear, the slide block is slidably mounted on the locking column in the housing, the slide block is secured on a distal end of the spindle, and the slide block is formed with a slide track for receiving the locking column in the housing, so that the slide block may slide on the locking column.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
