Abstract: An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily fix a cover member to a reel unit of a spinning reel while exposure of a fixing member to a rear portion of the reel unit is reduced. A reel unit includes a reel body, a lid member, a reel unit protection member, and an intermediate member. The reel body includes an accommodation space that opens to a lateral side, a first insertion hole that is communicated with the accommodation space, and a second insertion hole that is disposed on the opposite side of the first insertion hole and is communicated with the accommodation space. The lid member is detachably/reattachably mounted to the reel body so as to cover the accommodation space. The reel unit protection member is mounted from backward so as to cover the reel body and the lid member, and includes a boss that passes through the first insertion hole from a rear portion of the reel body and protrudes toward the accommodation space.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily attach a sound producing mechanism to a spool of a spinning reel and to compactly dispose the spool. An annular attachment member to which a hitting member of a sound producing mechanism is attached is detachably/reattachably mounted and fixed in an attachment recess that is formed to be annularly concaved in an inner peripheral portion of a bobbin trunk. Here, the annular attachment member is completely mounted in the attachment recess that is formed to be annularly concaved. Accordingly, it is possible to easily attach the attachment member to the attachment recess, and it is also possible to uniformly maintain the weight balance of a spool in the peripheral direction. In addition, here, the attachment member is mounted in the attachment recess. Thus, the attachment member is not likely to protrude backward from a rear end portion of the bobbin trunk, compared to the conventional configuration.

Abstract: In CMP technology for planarizing an interlayer insulation film, a BPSG film, an insulation film for shallow trench isolation, or the like, in the production process of a semiconductor element, irregularities of a matter being polished, e.g. a silicon oxide film, are planarized efficiently at a high speed while suppressing the occurrence of polishing flaws on the substrate by employing a polishing pad having organic fibers exposed on the surface thereof abutting against the matter being polished.

Abstract: A spinning reel includes a reel unit mounted to a fishing rod, and a rotor rotatably mounted to the reel unit on a front side, and guard members. The guard members include plate-shaped embedded portions and protruding portions. The embedded portion of one guard member is embedded in the reel unit from the rod attachment leg to the rear end portion and the lower and portion. The embedded portions of other guard members are embedded in the rotor on an outer portion of a cylindrical portion, and on an outer portion of a second rotor arm. The protruding portions protrude from the outer surface of the reel unit or the rotor. The guard members can come into contact with the ground when the spinning reel is placed thereon, such that scratching on the reel unit or the rotor can be prevented.

Abstract: A spool for preventing backlash includes a bobbin trunk, a rear flange portion, and a front flange portion. The front flange portion includes a first protruding portion and a first oblique portion that protrudes upward and forward from a tip of the first protruding portion. The rear flange portion includes a second protruding portion and a second oblique portion that protrudes upward and rearward from a tip of the second protruding portion. A length in the radial direction of the second protruding portion is approximately the same as a length of the first protruding portion.

Abstract: A braking member includes a body member and first and second interposed members. The first and second interposed members are detachably/reattachably mounted between a mounting groove and the body member. A braking force of the braking member is configured to be adjusted by attaching/detaching first and second projection members to/from first and second concave portions that are formed in a mounting groove so that the first and second projection members can contact the inner peripheral sides of the first and second interposed members.

Abstract: A rotor includes a cylindrical portion, a front wall, and first and second rotor arms. The front wall is formed on an inner periphery of the cylindrical portion near its front end. The first and second rotor arms are arranged opposite one another on the sides of the cylindrical portion. The front wall includes a link portion and a disk portion. The outer periphery of the cylindrical portion where the link portion is linked is overlaid by the spool when the spool is at a foremost position. The disk portion is integrally linked to the link portion. The link portion includes an annular portion and a tapered portion. The annular portion is linked to the inner periphery of the cylindrical portion at its front end. The tapered portion is linked to the inner periphery of the annular portion and is tapered so that its diameter rearwardly decreases.

Abstract: A master gear includes a shaft made of an aluminum alloy, a gear portion, and an annular member made of stainless steel alloy. The shaft is screwed onto a handle shaft, a gear portion that is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the shaft. The shaft is supported by the reel unit at rotational support portions via bearings and has female threaded portions on its ends such that the handle is screwed to one of the female threaded portions. The gear portion is arranged on an outer periphery of the shaft portion between the rotational support portions, and meshes with a pinion gear. The annular portion is mounted to the outer periphery of the shaft such that at least part of the annular member is disposed not between the rotational support portions. With this structure, it is easy to remove bearings from a master gear of a spinning reel.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a base material for a laminate having a high strength, reduced thickness, and light weight. In the present invention, a base material is prepared by incorporating a thermosetting resin binder into a non-woven fabric of para-aramid fibers prepared by a wet type paper making, and then heating a plurality of the resultant non-woven fabric sheets under pressure. The non-woven fabric sheet comprises 95 to 70 mass % of the para-aramid fibers and 5 to 30 mass % of the thermosetting resin binder.
