  • Reverse prevention mechanism for lever drag reel
    Patent number: 7784725
    Abstract: A reverse prevention mechanism is configured to prevent reverse rotation of a drag disk, in a line-releasing direction, when braking a spool. The reverse prevention mechanism includes a rotation member, a pawl member, and an urging member. The rotation member includes an outer periphery portion with a plurality of engaging members. The outer periphery portion is arranged between the second pinion gear and the drag disk, and is capable of rotating integrally with the drag disk. The pawl member is pivotally coupled to the reel unit. The pawl member is arranged in an engagement position and a remote position. In the engagement position, reverse rotation is prevented when the pawl member is engaged with the outer periphery portion of the rotation member. In the remote position, the pawl member is detached from the outer periphery portion. The urging member urges the pawl member toward the engagement position.
