Patent number: 10091979Abstract: The present reel unit is a reel unit for a dual-bearing reel supporting a spool in a rotatable state. The reel unit includes a frame, a fishing rod attachment leg and a thinned part. The frame includes a first side plate, a second side plate disposed in opposition to the first side plate to enable the spool to be disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate, and a plurality of coupling members integrally formed with the first side plate and the second side plate to couple the first side plate and the second side plate. The fishing rod attachment leg is fixed to an outer surface of one of the plurality of coupling members. The thinned part has a box-like recessed shape and is formed on an inner surface, faced to the spool, of the coupling member to which the fishing rod attachment leg is fixed.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: SHIMANO COMPONENTS (MALAYSIA) SDN.

Patent number: 9861085Abstract: A brake device for a dual bearing real, includes a one-way clutch, an operating member and a pressing member. The one-way clutch has an inner race, an outer race and a rolling element, and receives rotation of a spool shaft only in a fishing-line casting direction through the outer race. The outer race is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the inner race, and is rotatable with respect to a reel unit. The rolling element is disposed between the inner race and the outer race. The operating member is disposed on the outer peripheral side of an end of the spool shaft, and is engaged with the reel unit so as to be movable in a spool shaft direction. The pressing member is configured to press the outer race. The outer race is restricted from moving oppositely to the pressing member in the spool shaft direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2015Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignees: Shimano Inc., Shimano Components (Malaysia) SDN.
