  • Arrangement in fishing reels for compensating for the line retrieval in relation to the brake force on line withdrawal
    Patent number: 4343442
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fishing reel having a hand crank, a transmission connected to the hand crank for retrieval of the fishing line, and a sliding clutch adjustable by means of a control mechanism for a line spool which is rotatable by means of the line at a pull in the line sufficient to overcome the brake force of the sliding clutch. The invention is characterized by a power transmission mechanism between a transmission element and the sliding clutch, which power transmission mechanism is operable by a torque from the hand crank on line retrieval and adapted, when operated by such torque, to transmit a force corresponding to said torque to the sliding clutch as an addition to the brake force set by means of the control mechanism.
