  • Patent number: 11172662
    Abstract: A double bearing reel includes a spool braking device that rotatably supports a spool including a bobbin body on which a fishing line is wound and flange portions formed on both sides of the bobbin body between side plates of a reel body and that applies a braking force to the rotation of the spool, wherein the spool braking device includes a conductive annular body that rotates integrally with the spool and a magnet facing outer peripheral surface of the conductive annular body, and the conductive annular body and the magnet are disposed axially inward of an outer end surface of the flange portions and radially inward of the bobbin body.

  • Patent number: 9642349
    Abstract: A fishing reel includes a fishing line threading section (60A) through which a fishing line to be unreeled from a spool (5A) is threaded, a main body (60B) that is engaged with a worm shaft (51) provided between left and right side plates, a fishing line guide body (60) that reciprocates between the left and right side plates through the rotational drive of the worm shaft, and a clutch mechanism (20) that switches the spool (5A) between a fishing line winding state and a fishing line unwinding state. The fishing line guide body (60) is supported in front of the spool (5A) so as to be switched and movable between the fishing line unwinding state and the fishing line winding state, and the fishing line threading section (60A) and the main body (60B) are formed separately and integrated with each other.

  • Patent number: 9549541
    Abstract: A fishing reel according to an embodiment includes a spool rotatably supported between a left side plate and a right side plate of a reel body, and a fishing line guide having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first through hole, the second portion has a second through hole, the first through hole guides a fishing line to be wound on the spool, and the second through hole has a width in a left-right direction larger than the first through hole and being continuous with the first through hole. A front surface of the first portion is angled to a rear side with respect to a perpendicular line extended from a center of a rotational axis of the spool to an extending direction of the fishing line.

  • Patent number: 9332744
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a fishing spinning reel includes an assembly structure of a handle with which to prevent backlash at a handle part and facilitate an assembly operation and a folding operation of the handle part. The fishing spinning reel according to the embodiment includes a driving shaft integrated with a drive gear, a handle arm rotating in response to an operation of a handle, a handle shaft axially supporting the handle arm in a pivotable manner on one end, rotating in response to the rotation of the handle arm, and divided from the driving shaft in an axial direction, and a tubular member connected to each of the driving shaft and the handle shaft in an integrally rotatable manner, and including a first engagement portion engaged with the driving shaft and a second engagement portion engaged with the handle arm in a state where the handle is used.
