  • Patent number: 7225910
    Abstract: A freewheel hub device includes two locking rings with axial grooves formed in the locking rings and being essentially V shaped in cross-section. The groove walls of one locking ring form a first and a second wedge surface, and one groove wall of the other locking ring forms a third wedge surface. A roll holder with rolls, which extend into the grooves of the locking rings, is mounted in the locking rings. A hub is rotationally arranged in the roll holder (14) and has a circumferential surface for cooperation with the rolls. The locking rings and the roll holder are turnable relative to each other in a limited manner and can take three different setting positions relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 5575430
    Abstract: An open-face fishing reel of the fixed-spool type comprises a housing, a spindle element non-rotatably arranged in the housing, a handle for rotating a drive shaft, mounted in the housing, and a rotor which is rotatable by rotation of the drive shaft. A hollow line spool shaft is non-rotatably arranged on a sleeve-shaped front member of the spindle element and rotatably supports a line spool. An oscillating mechanism is arranged to impart an axial oscillating motion to the line spool as the rotor rotates. The oscillating mechanism comprises an endless screw which is rotatably mounted in the sleeve-shaped front spindle member. A gear wheel non-rotatably connected to the endless screw meshes, via a recess in the front spindle member, with a toothed element non-rotatably connected to the rotor, thereby rotating the screw as the rotor rotates.

  • Patent number: 5297757
    Abstract: A fishing reel has a frame and a line spool rotatably mounted therein. The frame has a side plate with a circumferential flange formed with a circumferentially directed slot. A buzzer meachnism is mounted in the fishing reel. The buzzer mechanism has a gear wheel non-rotatably connected to the line spool, a trigger mounted on the circumferential flange, and a U-shaped spring leaf, one leg of which is connected to the trigger. The trigger is displaceable along the slot in the circumferential flange between a first position, in which it maintains the other leg of the spring leaf in engagement with the gear wheel so as to produce a buzzing sound when the line spool rotates, and a second position, in which it maintains the other leg of the leaf spring out of engagement with the gear wheel.

  • Patent number: 5294074
    Abstract: A line-protecting element for use in a fishing reel having a line spool with at least one circular end wall, and a component with a circular-cylindrical surface enclosing the end wall at a radial distance therefrom, is to be mounted on the end wall to bridge the distance between this wall and the enclosing surface in order, when using the fishing reel, to prevent a line wound on the line spool from being wedged between the end wall and the enclosing surface. The line-protecting element consists of a ring of low-friction material having substantially radially projecting tongues distributed along the circumference of the ring. The tongues are so dimensioned as to be easily flexible in the circumferential direction of the ring, but rigid in its axial direction. The outer radius of the ring is smaller than the radius of the enclosing surface, whereas the radius at the free ends of the tongues is greater than the radius of the enclosing surface.

  • Patent number: 5167381
    Abstract: An oscillating mechanism in a fixed-spool fishing reel of the closed-face type has a supporting plate mounted in the frame of the fishing reel. The reel has a handle whose shaft extends through the supporting plate. A first gear is nonrotatably connected to the shaft of the handle. A second gear is supported by the supporting plate and meshes with the first gear. The second gear has a smaller diameter than the first gear and carries an eccentric pin. A slide is connected to the line spool of the fishing reel for oscillating the line spool when the handle is turned. The slide has an elongate recess in which the eccentric pin engages for oscillating the slide and, hence, the line spool when the handle is turned. The slide further has a guide slot in which the shaft of the handle engages as a guide pin.

  • Patent number: 4927094
    Abstract: An open-face fishing reel of the fixed-spool type has a housing and a spindle rotatably and axially displaceably mounted therein. A line spool is non-rotatably connected to the spindle and axially fixed to one end thereof. A drive shaft is mounted in the housing and extends at right angles to the spindle. A handle is arranged for rotating the drive shaft and a driving gear non-rotatably mounted thereon. A driver element is axially fixed on the spindle. An oscillating gear meshes with the driving gear and has an eccentric pin engaging the driver element in order, upon rotation of the drive shaft, to move the spindle back and forth in its longitudinal direction and, thus, oscillate the line spool about a center of oscillation.

  • Patent number: 4756634
    Abstract: A friction device, preferably for printer-typewriter ribbons, intended to provide engagement between a drive roller and the ribbon and wherein a counter pressure roller is supported by a flexible shaft in the form of a helical spring which is mounted at a distance from the peripheral driving surface of the drive roller which is less than the radius of the counter pressure roller.

  • Patent number: 4678109
    Abstract: Tractor mechanism for paper traction feed printers and typewriters, said mechanism including in a holder (2) an endless belt (8) which is mounted for movement in its endless direction, as well as a drive connection for the belt. The belt has external teeth (10) intended to drive a printing medium such as a paper web or the like through the printer on movement of the belt by engagement with a row of holes along an edge of the medium. The holed edge and the toothed belt run in a gap defined by two wall portions of the holder the height of the gap being less than at the height of the teeth plus the thickness of the belt and the wall portion facing towards the teeth has a groove (26) for the teeth.
