Abstract

A spinning reel for fishing includes a rotor, a fishing line guiding mechanism, and a bail reversing mechanism. The rotor has a cylindrical portion, and first and second rotor arms disposed in opposed positions on the cylindrical portion. The fishing line guiding mechanism has a line roller to guide a fishing line, a bail, first and second bail support members supporting first and second ends of the bail, the first bail support member coupled to the first rotor arm, and the second bail support member coupled to the second rotor arm. The bail reversing mechanism inverts the fishing line guiding mechanism to line casting or line winding positions. The line roller is disposed on the first bail support member and the bail reversing mechanism is disposed inside the second rotor arm. The first rotor arm includes two support legs extending forwardly from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A spinning reel for fishing, comprising:
a rotor having a cylindrical portion, and a first rotor arm and a second rotor arm disposed in mutually opposed positions on the cylindrical portion; a fishing line guiding mechanism having a line roller configured to guide a fishing line, a bail, a first bad support member supporting a first end of the bail, and a second bail support member supporting a second end of the bail, the first bail support member being coupled to the first rotor arm, and the second bad support member being coupled to the second rotor arm; and a bail reversing mechanism configured to invert the fishing line guiding mechanism to a line casting position or a line winding position, the line roller being disposed on the first bad support member and the bad reversing mechanism being disposed inside the second rotor arm, and the first rotor arm comprising; two support legs that extend forwardly from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion.

2 . The spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 1 , further comprising
a ribbed reinforcement portion extending from a side of at least one support leg to the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion.

3 . The spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 1 , wherein
the bail reversing mechanism comprises a return lever configured to return the second bail support member to the line winding position, and a return unit abutting a rear end portion of the return lever and configured to move the return lever, is disposed at a position on a front flange portion of a reel body that faces a rear end portion of the cylindrical portion to which a rod support portion extends.

4 . The spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 3 , wherein
a biasing member abutting a front end of the return lever and configured to bias the return lever to the line winding position is disposed on the second bail support member.

5 . The spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 1 , wherein
the bail reversing mechanism comprises a toggle spring and a guide rod configured to guide the toggle spring, and an insulating member is disposed in an engagement hole of the second bail support member, and engages one end portion of the guide rod to insulate a space between the guide rod and the engagement hole.

6 . The spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 1 , further comprising
a rotor balance adjustment unit disposed on the first rotor arm on the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion.

7 . The spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 1 , further comprising
a thick-walled reinforcement portion on an inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion in a position at which the first rotor arm is disposed, the thick-walled portion being thicker than a surrounding portion.

8 . The spinning reel for fishing recited in claim 1 , wherein
an inclined reinforcement portion extending inclined with respect to a cylinder axis direction of the cylindrical portion is disposed on a side surface of the cylindrical portion.
