Abstract:
A spinning reel includes a handle, a housing, a rotor, a bail arm, a moving member and an abutting member. The bail arm is attached to the rotor and is pivotable between a first posture and a second posture. The moving member is positioned in a first position when the bail arm is in the first posture, moving member positioned in a second position behind the first position when the bail arm is in the second posture, and is rotatable together with the rotor. The abutting member is attached to the housing and abuts the moving member in the second position to move the moving member toward the first position. The returning device returns the bail arm to the first posture from the second posture when the moving member moves toward the first position from the second position.
Abstract:
A pinion gear meshes with a drive gear. The drive gear is connected to a handle shaft of a fishing reel that winds a fishing line onto a spool supported by a reel body by rotational operation of the handle shaft rotatably supported to the reel body to transmit the rotation of the handle shaft. The pinion gear includes a gear portion and a shaft. The gear portion meshes with the drive gear. The shaft portion, to which the gear portion is non-rotatably fitted, is integrally rotatable with the gear portion. The gear portion and the shaft portion are formed from different materials, and the specific gravity of the shaft portion is smaller than the specific gravity of the gear portion.
Abstract:
A braking operation lever for a rotor braking device of a spinning reel for applying a braking force to the rotation of a rotor rotatably supported by a reel body, the braking operation lever includes a lever main body, an operating section, a brake shoe, an elastic member, and a fall out prevention mechanism. The lever body is rotatably supported by the reel body. The operating section is configured to perform a braking operation, and is disposed on a first end part of the lever main body. The brake shoe is disposed on a second end part of the lever main body, and is configured to be pressed against the rotor by operation of the operating section. The elastic member is disposed between the brake shoe and the lever main body. The fall out prevention mechanism prevents the elastic member from falling out of the brake shoe.
Abstract:
A spinning reel includes a rotor rotatable around an axis of a spool shaft, a handle shaft, a drive shaft rotatable around an axis of the handle shaft, a rotational transmission mechanism configured to transmit the rotation of the drive shaft to a rotor, a rotational control mechanism disposed between the handle shaft and the drive shaft and only transmitting rotation of the handle shaft in a reeling direction to the drive shaft and not transmitting rotation of the rotor in a casting direction from the drive shaft to the handle shaft, and a brake arranged to be in contact with the handle shaft and integrally rotatable with the drive shaft and configured to apply a braking force to the rotation of the handle.
Abstract:
A gear mechanism for a fishing reel includes first and second gears. The first gear has first gear teeth including a first driving side face, and a first reverse side face opposite the first driving side face. The second gear has second gear teeth including a second driven side face that meshes with a respective first driving side faces, and a second reverse side face that faces a respective first reverse side face, and opposite the second driven side faces. At least one of each of the first reverse side faces and each of the second reverse side faces includes an interference prevention portion to prevent interference with the other of the opposing first reverse side faces and second reverse side faces.
Abstract:
A reciprocating mechanism includes a worm shaft, a slider, a first guide shaft, and an elastic member. The worm shaft includes spiral grooves, and is rotated while the handle is rotated. The slider is reciprocated in the axial direction together with the spool shaft in conjunction with the rotation of the worm shaft. The first guide shaft includes a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion, and guides the reciprocating movement of the slider by an intermediate portion between the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion. The elastic member is mounted on the outer perimeter of at least one of the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion, and supports the first guide shaft in the reel body.
Abstract:
A rotation transmission mechanism includes a drive shaft, a drive gear, a pinion gear, a first bearing, and a positioning structure. The drive shaft is rotatable with respect to a chassis. The drive gear is unitarily rotatable with the drive shaft. The pinion gear is rotatably mounted to the chassis and disposed in a skew direction to the drive shaft, the pinion gear meshed with the drive gear. The first bearing is mounted to the chassis, is disposed between the chassis and the drive shaft, and rotatably supports the drive shaft. The positioning structure is mounted to an end of the drive shaft, and positions the drive shaft with respect to the first bearing.
Abstract:
A braking operation lever includes a lever main body, an operating section, a brake shoe, and an elastic member. The lever main body has a first end part and a second end part, and is rotatably supported by the reel body. The operating section is configured to cause a braking operation, and is disposed on the first end part of the lever main body. The brake shoe is disposed on the second end part of the lever main body, and is configured to be pressed by the rotor while operating the operating section. The elastic member is disposed between the brake shoe and the lever main body.
