[0029] Hereinafter, a fishing reel according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0030] The present disclosure relates to a fishing reel, especially a baitcasting reel, and as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, includes a frame 10, side covers 20 and 30, a top cover 40, a concealment cover 50, and a front cover 60.

[0031] In addition to the above components, the remaining basic components of the fishing reel, such as a handle, are known, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted for convenience of understanding.

[0032] The present disclosure includes: the frame 10 having a concealment cover mounting portion 13 provided between side cover mounting portions 11 and a top cover mounting portion 12; and the concealment cover 50 coupled to the concealment cover mounting portion 13 and covering an opening 161 on each side of a level wind mounting portion 16.

[0033] In the frame 10, the side cover mounting portions 11 are provided in a planar structure on opposite sides of a spool mounting portion 14 in the center of the frame 10, a front cover mounting portion 15 is formed to be connected from a front end of the side cover mounting portion 11 to a front end of the opposite side cover mounting portion 11 so that the level wind mounting portion 16, which is a space open at the top and bottom, is formed between the top cover mounting portion 12 and the spool mounting portion 14, and the front cover 60 is coupled to the front cover mounting portion 15.

[0034] In addition, in the frame 10, the top cover mounting portion 12 is formed to extend upward, in a similar shape to the front cover mounting portion 15, from the upper surface of each rear end of the side cover mounting portions 11 toward the top of the level wind mounting portion 16 so that an opening 161 of the level wind mounting portion 16, which is an empty space, is created between the side cover mounting portions 11 and the top cover mounting portion 12, and the top cover 40 is mounted on the upper surface of the top cover mounting portion 12.

[0035] Between the side cover mounting portions 11 and the top cover mounting portion 12, parts of the opening 161 of the level wind mounting portion 16 are connected in a planar shape to form the concealment cover mounting portion 13.

[0036] The frame 10 includes a first bolt fastening hole 131 formed in the concealment cover mounting portion 13, and the concealment cover 50 has a first bolt fitting hole 511 corresponding to the first bolt fastening hole 131, so that the concealment cover 50 is coupled to the concealment cover mounting portion 13 with a first bolt 52.

[0037] In addition, the frame 10 includes a protrusion coupling hole 132 formed in the concealment cover mounting portion 13, and the concealment cover 50 includes a coupling protrusion 53 fitted into the protrusion coupling hole 132.

[0038] The first bolt fastening hole 131 and the protrusion coupling hole 132 are arranged back and forth and are formed at heights that are offset from each other up and down.

[0039] The first bolt fitting hole 511 is formed in a first coupling portion 51 protruding from the bottom of the middle portion of the concealment cover 50, and the coupling protrusion 53 protrudes from the inner surface of the concealment cover 50 to a predetermined length.

[0040] In addition, the frame 10 includes a locking groove 133 formed on the front side of the concealment cover mounting portion 13, and the concealment cover 50 further includes a locking protrusion 54 fitted into the locking groove 133.

[0041] The locking groove 133 has a shape in which the front and both left and right sides are opened by a protruding structure connected to the outer surface of the concealment cover mounting portion 13.

[0042] The locking protrusion 54 is formed by bending and connecting from the front end of the concealment cover 50 to the rear side.

[0043] The top cover 40 is provided with a second bolt fitting hole 411 arranged between the first bolt fastening hole 131 and the first bolt fitting hole 511, so that the top cover 40 is coupled to the concealment cover mounting portion 13 with the first bolt 52 together with the concealment cover 50.

[0044] The second bolt fitting hole 411 is provided in a second coupling portion 41 protruding from the bottom of the middle part of wings 40A of the top cover 40 in a shape corresponding to the first coupling portion 51.

[0045] Thus, when the top cover 40 is seated on the top cover mounting portion 12 and the concealment cover 50 is inserted into the concealment cover mounting portion 13, as the coupling protrusion 53 is inserted into the protrusion coupling hole 132, the first bolt fitting hole 511, the second bolt fitting hole 411, and the first bolt fastening hole 131 are aligned on the same line on the left and right.

[0046] When the first bolt 52 is passed through the second bolt fitting hole 411 and the first bolt fitting hole 511 and tightened into the first bolt fastening hole 131, the top cover 40 and the concealment cover 50 are coupled to the frame 10 by the first bolt 52.

[0047] Furthermore, the frame 10 has a second bolt fastening hole 111 formed on the outer surface of the rear end of the side cover mounting portions 11, and the top cover 40 has the third bolt fitting hole formed in the third coupling portion protruding from the bottom of the rear end of the wings 40A, so that as a second bolt 42 passes through the third bolt fitting hole and is fastened to the second bolt fastening hole 111, the top cover 40 is seated and coupled to the top cover mounting portion 12.

[0048] Meanwhile, the front cover 60 is provided with a connecting piece 60A that is bent backwards at each of left and right ends of the front cover 60 and extended, and the connecting pieces 60A on opposite sides are coupled in contact with the front part of the frame 10, more precisely, the upper surface of the front cover mounting portion 15.

[0049] In addition, the frame 10 has a third bolt fastening hole 112 formed on the outer surface of the front end of the side cover mounting portions 11, and the front cover 60 has a fourth coupling portion 61 provided with a fourth bolt fitting hole 611 corresponding to the third bolt fastening hole 112, which protrudes below the front end of the connecting piece 60A, so that after inserting the front cover 60 into the front cover mounting portion 15, a third bolt 62 may be inserted into the fourth bolt fitting hole 611 to be screwed into the third bolt fastening hole 112.

[0050] In the above description of the present disclosure, although a fishing reel was mainly described with reference to the attached drawings, the present disclosure is capable of various modifications, changes, and substitutions by those skilled in the art, and such modifications, changes, and substitutions should be construed as falling within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
