Abstract

A rotor for a spinning reel for fishing, includes a cylindrical portion, a first rotor arm, a second rotor arm and a reinforcement portion. The cylindrical portion has a rear end opening that is open. The first rotor arm extends forward from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion and configured to couple to a first bail support portion including a line roller. The second rotor arm is at a position opposing the first rotor arm, extending forward from the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion, and configured to couple to a second bail support portion holding an end of a bail that extends from the first bail support portion. The reinforcement portion has a wall portion that is thicker than a surrounding portion, and is disposed on an inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion in a position at which the first rotor arm is disposed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A rotor for a spinning reel for fishing, comprising:
a cylindrical portion having a rear end opening; a first rotor arm extending forward from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion and configured to couple to a first bail support portion including a line roller; a second rotor arm disposed at a position opposing the first rotor arm, extending forward from the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion, and configured to couple to a second bail support portion holding an end of a bail that extends from the first bail support portion; and a reinforcement portion having a wall portion that is thicker than a surrounding portion, the reinforcement portion disposed on an inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion in a position at which the first rotor arm is disposed.

2 . The rotor for a spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 1 , wherein
an inner radius of the reinforcement portion is smaller than an inner radius of the cylindrical portion.

3 . The rotor for a spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 1 , wherein
the reinforcement portion is symmetrically formed in a circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion.

4 . The rotor for a spinning reel for fishing recited in 1 , further comprising
a bail reversing device configured to allocate a bail to a line winding position and a line casting position, the bail reversing device being disposed inside the second rotor arm.

5 . A rotor for a spinning reel for fishing, comprising:
a cylindrical portion having a rear end opening; a first rotor arm extending forward from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion and configured to couple to a first bail support portion including a line roller; a second rotor arm disposed at a position opposing, the first rotor arm, extending forward from the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion, and configured to couple to a second bail support portion holding an end of a bail that extends from the first bail support portion; and a reinforcement portion extending inclined with respect to an axis direction of the cylindrical portion, on a side surface of the cylindrical portion.

6 . The rotor for a spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 5 , wherein
an opening is adjacent to the second reinforcement portion on the side surface of the cylindrical portion.

7 . The rotor for a spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 5 , wherein
the reinforcement portion is one of two reinforcement portions formed in plane symmetry with respect to a surface comprising the cylinder axis.

8 . A rotor for a spinning reel for fishing, comprising:
a cylindrical portion having a rear end opening; a first rotor arm extending forward from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion and configured to couple to a first bail support portion including a line roller; a second rotor arm disposed at a position opposing the first rotor arm, extending forward from the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion and configured to couple to a second bail support portion holding an end of a bail that extends from the first bail support portion; and a reinforcement portion extending from at least one side of the first rotor arm.

9 . The rotor for a spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 8 , wherein
the first rotor arm comprises two support legs; the reinforcement portion extends from a side of each of the two support legs to the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion, and the reinforcement portion forms an L-shaped cross section along with the support legs.
