Abstract: An induction type magnetic brake for braking a line spool of a fishing reel having a frame, in which the line spool is supported rotatably about an axis of rotation, and two side plates which are mounted on the frame, the line spool having an end wall fixedly connected thereto and extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation, has a plurality of permanent magnets for inductive cooperation with the end wall of the line spool and a magnet support carrying the magnets and located between one of the side plates and the end wall of the line spool. The magnet support carries the magnets in a first plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. A shielding plate is arranged in a second plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and located between the first plane and the end wall of the line spool.

Abstract: A multiplier type fishing reel has a frame, two side plates which are mounted on the frame, a line spool which is mounted in the frame and rotatable about an axis of rotation, and a first and a second brake for braking the line spool. The braking effect of the first brake is adjustable with the aid of a first adjusting device which is turnable about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation and the braking effect of the second brake is adjustable with the aid of a second adjusting device which is turnable about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation. The first and the second adjusting devices are arranged in one of the side plates and have respectively a first and a second tooth portion.

Abstract: A fishing reel includes a planetary gear drive assembly where the spool rotates on a fixed shaft. A handle crank is coupled to a ring gear for driving planet gears and a pinion. The pinion rotates on the shaft and slides axially on the shaft to engage and disengage the planetary gear assembly to the spool. A carrier supporting the planet gears is coupled to a drag assembly for limiting rotation of the carrier.

Abstract: In the making of a frame for a fishing reel of the multiplier type, a tubular aluminum section is produced by extrusion. The aluminum section is cut to length corresponding to the width of the frame to be made, this length being thereafter processed to form a frame.

Abstract: A fishing reel of the multiplier type comprises a rotatable line spool which is mounted on a shaft. A clutch member having a gear is mounted on the shaft. The gear meshes with a driving gear which is rotatable by means of a handle. The clutch member is displaceable along the shaft between an engaging position, in which it is connected to the line spool for rotation thereof, and a disengaging position, in which it is disconnected from the line spool. The clutch member is displaceable from its first to its second position by means of a trigger which actuates a clutch mechanism for displacement of the clutch member. The clutch mechanism comprises a disk which is turnable by the trigger and has ramp elements for cooperation with ramp elements on a yoke supporting the clutch member. The disk cooperates with a spring assembly having a cam curve with a first cam surface, a second cam surface and an intermediate crest.

Abstract: A fishing reel of the multiplier type has a frame with two detachable, inner side plates, each having a through opening, and two detachable outer side plates. A line spool is rotatably mounted in the frame between the two inner side plates and has, in the vicinity of each of its ends, a circumferential, substantially radial end flange. The line spool is nonrotatably mounted on a shaft, which extends freely through the openings in the two inner side plates. Each inner side plate has a circumferential, axially inwardly directed flange surrounding the respective end flange of the line spool, and an axially directed first sleeve element coaxial with the line spool. At each end, the line spool has a protruding second sleeve element which is coaxial with the line spool and rotatably mounted in the first sleeve element of the corresponding inner side plate by a ball bearing.

Abstract: A fishing reel of the multiplier type has a frame, a line spool having a center bore and rotatably mounted in the frame, and a shaft, on which the line spool is mounted. The line spool has, at least at one of its ends, a shaft member which is inserted a distance into the center bore of the line spool from a respective end thereof so as to protrude a predetermined distance therefrom.

Abstract: A gear unit for a multiplier type fishing reel is arranged to drive the line spool of the fishing reel. The gear unit has a main shaft rotated by a handle. Two driving gears of different diameters are rotatably mounted on and frictionally coupled thereto by two sets of friction washers. The larger driving gear meshes with the gear drive of the line spool. Two adjusting knobs are provided for setting the frictional force exerted on the larger driving gear at a first value, and the frictional force exerted on the smaller driving gear at a second value exceeding the first value. Two driven gears of different diameter are rotatably mounted on a first spindle parallel to the main shaft and biased toward each other by a spring. The smaller driven gear meshes with the larger driving gear, and the larger driven gear meshes with the smaller driving gear.

Abstract: A fishing reel comprising a frame, a line spool rotatably and releasably mounted in the frame and an induction-type magnetic brake for braking the fishing reel during casting is disclosed, in which a number of permanent magnets are mounted on a support which is easily releasably fixed to one end of the frame and encloses an opening therein, and in which the pole support is easily removable together with the magnet poles as a unit for uncovering said opening, and said opening is of a sufficient dimension to permit withdrawal of the line spool through the uncovered opening. In the preferred embodiment, the magnet support also forms a support for one end of a spindle which supports the line spool in the reel frame.
