20120223173 | FISHING REEL - A fishing reel for winding and releasing a fishing line includes a tubular spool being configured to wind the fishing line onto an outer periphery thereof, a spool shaft made of metal, the spool shaft being attached to an inner periphery of the spool, and a Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) layer being formed on a surface layer side of the spool shaft. | 09-06-2012 |
20130193250 | DUAL-BEARING REEL - A dual-bearing reel includes a reel unit, a spool, a handle, a clutch mechanism, a clutch operation member, a clutch return mechanism, and a clutch control mechanism. The clutch control mechanism includes a clutch plate that moves in conjunction with movement of the clutch operation member from the on position to the off position and causes the clutch operation member to move from the off position to the on position in conjunction with the operation of the clutch return mechanism. The clutch operation member includes a contact portion at which the clutch operation member contacts at least first end surfaces of the clutch plate. The contact portion includes a first contact portion that is urged to the side of the reel unit by the clutch plate when the clutch operation member is moved from the off position to the on position by the clutch plate. | 08-01-2013 |
20130306777 | SPOOL BRAKE DEVICE FOR DUAL-BEARING REEL AND A DUAL-BEARING REEL - A spool brake device for a dual-bearing reel is provided. The spool brake device is configured to apply a braking force to a spool. The brake device includes a conductor, a magnet, and a braking force adjusting unit. The magnet is configured to move along an axial direction of a spool shaft of the spool with respect to the reel unit and face the conductor in a radial direction relative to the axis of the spool shaft. The braking force adjusting unit is configured to adjust the braking force which is applied to the spool by a magnetic force acting on the conductor when the conductor is rotated, in such a way to change magnetic fluxes acting on the conductor by changing an axially facing range between the conductor and the magnet according to the movement of the magnet along the axial direction relative to the reel unit. | 11-21-2013 |
20150076270 | DUAL-BEARING REEL - A dual-bearing reel includes a reel unit, a spool and a handle. The reel unit includes a frame having an opening portion and a first side cover capable of being disposed in the opening potion. The spool is rotatably attached to the frame. The handle is configured to rotate the spool. The first side cover includes a cover body having an aperture and a blocking member blocking intrusion of a foreign object through the aperture. The blocking member is configured to be attached to the cover body on a side of the cover body facing the interior of the frame by elastic deformation. Further, the blocking member is retained on the cover body by a resilient force of the blocking member. | 03-19-2015 |
20150090824 | FISHING REEL - A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool shaft, and a spool body. The spool shaft is rotatably mounted to the reel body. The spool body is non-rotatably mounted to the spool shaft. The spool body has an insertion hole. The spool shaft is inserted into the insertion hole. The spool shaft has an insertion region. The insertion region is inserted into the insertion hole and is disposed to oppose a surface of the insertion hole. The insertion region has a first region and a second region. A first gap is disposed between the first region and the insertion hole. A second gap that is smaller than the first gap is disposed between the second region and the insertion hole. | 04-02-2015 |
20150090825 | SPOOL DEVICE FOR A FISHING REEL - A spool device includes a spool shaft and a spool. The spool shaft is rotatably mounted to the reel body. The spool is mounted to the spool shaft. The spool device has a notch part and a protruding portion. The notch part is disposed on one of the spool and the spool shaft. The notch part is formed in an axial direction of the spool shaft. The protruding portion is disposed on the other of the spool or the spool shaft. The protruding portion is configured to engage the notch part. | 04-02-2015 |
20150201597 | RECIPROCATING MECHANISM FOR A FISHING REEL - A level winding mechanism includes a worm shaft, an engagement member, a sliding member, and a lid member. The lid member includes lid portion and a retaining portion. The lid portion covers one end of a first through-hole. The retaining portion is tubular shaped and is housed inside the first through-hole. Additionally, the retaining portion is disposed between an inner perimeter surface of the first through-hole and an outer perimeter surface of the engagement member. The retaining portion is capable of slidably and rotatably retaining the engagement member. | 07-23-2015 |
20150208630 | REEL BODY OF A DUAL-BEARING REEL - A reel body includes a first body portion, a second body portion, first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, a fixing portion, and a fishing rod mounting portion. The first and second connecting portions connect the first body portion and the second body portion. The fixing portion is disposed on the first connecting portion. The fixing portion protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the second body portion from the side view. The fishing rod mounting portion is fixed to the fixing portion. | 07-30-2015 |
20150208631 | LEVEL WINDING MECHANISM FOR DUAL-BEARING REEL - A level winding mechanism for a dual-bearing reel includes a worm shaft, a guide member and a slide member. The guide member has a tubular shape and is disposed radially outside of the worm shaft. The slide member has a first through hole and an accommodation recess. The first through hole enables the guide member to penetrate therethrough. The accommodation recess is formed on the inner surface of the first through hole. The slide member is configured to slide along the guide member. | 07-30-2015 |
