Abstract: A dual-bearing reel, includes a reel body, a spool, a spool shaft, an adjustment member, and an operating lever. The spool is rotatable relative to the reel body. The spool shaft is configured to integrally rotate with the spool. The adjustment member is attached to the reel body and configured to adjust a braking force that brakes the rotation of the spool shaft. The operating lever is detachably attached to the adjustment member so as to extend in a radial direction, and configured to be positionally adjusted in a circumferential direction relative to the adjustment member.

Abstract: This invention is characterized by a reel body, a pinion gear that is supported by the rotation function of the reel body, a one-way clutch that is fitted to the pinion gear and that limits the rotation of the pinion gear to one direction, a rotor that is fitted to the pinion gear and rotates with it while also containing a boss section, a part of which is connected to the pinion gear and extends to the one-way clutch, a magnetic body that is formed and makes a circuit around the periphery of the rotation direction of the boss section, a magnet that is configured facing the rotational radius direction with a gap in the magnetic body, with the magnet that faces the rotational radius direction with a gap in the magnetic body being sandwiched between the magnetic plates in a direction facing the spool shaft, and the magnetic sealing mechanism wherein is found magnetic fluid that is placed in the gap between the magnetic plates and the magnetic body, and whereby the space between the cover member and the magnetic

Abstract: The present invention is a line roller unit that includes a line roller, a bearing, a cylindrical member, and a first magnetic seal. The line roller possesses a guider on its periphery surface that guides a fishing line. The bearing is set up on the inner circumference of the line roller, with the cylindrical member possessing a holding part that holds bearing. The cylindrical member is set up on the inner circumference of bearing. The first magnetic seal possesses both a first magnet and a first holding member that holds the first magnet, and the first magnetic seal forms the first magnetic circuit for holding the magnetic liquid at the space between the cylindrical member. The first magnetic seal is set up on the line roller.

Abstract: An oscillating mechanism includes a traverse camshaft, an engaging unit, and a slider body. The traverse camshaft includes a spiral groove. The traverse camshaft rotates in conjunction with the winding operation of a handle attached to the reel main body. The engaging unit includes an engaging claw configured to engage the spiral groove. The slider body includes a supporting hole rotatably supporting the engaging unit. A groove extends in the penetration direction of the supporting hole, and is disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the supporting hole of the slider body.

Abstract: A coiled wave spring includes a first and second coiled portions. The first coiled portion has a plurality of first valley parts and a plurality of first peak parts. The first valley parts and the first peak parts are alternately disposed in a circumferential direction. The second coiled portion has a plurality of second peak parts and a plurality of second valley parts. The second peak parts respectively correspond to the first valley parts, whereas the second valley parts respectively correspond to the first peak parts.
