  • Publication number: 20130206663
    Abstract: A fuel filter device is provided in which a filter assembly having filter layers of first multiple layers is provided in a fuel flow path extending from the interior of a fuel tank to fuel consumption means via a fuel pump, and the finest filter layer is disposed downstream-most in filter layers of second multiple layers forming at least part of the first multiple layers, wherein an aggregation-promoting part (24A) that promotes aggregation of dust in fuel by changing the flow direction or flow velocity of fuel is provided in the filter assembly (20A) so that aggregation of dust in fuel is promoted before the upstream side of at least the second finest filter layer (22A) of the filter layers (21A, 22A, 23A) among the second multiple layers. This enables the durability of the fuel filter device to be improved.

  • Patent number: 5110066
    Abstract: A speed change apparatus for a fishing reel is provided with an input shaft having a first sun gear, a second sun gear different therefrom in the number of teeth, and a differential gear having smaller diameter toothed portion and a larger diameter toothed portion different in the number of teeth from each other and engageable with the first and second sun gears, respectively. The differential gear is rotatably supported to a reel body. The smaller diameter toothed portion is separated from the larger diameter toothed portion so that one or both of the toothed portions is made freely rotatable. And a clutch for integrally connecting or disconnecting both the smaller diameter toothed portion and larger diameter toothed portion is provided.

  • Patent number: 5064139
    Abstract: A fishing reel having a reel body, a spool rotatably supported to the reel body, a spool braking plate for braking the spool, a unidirectional rotation transmitting mechanism disposed between the spool and the spool braking plate, the mechanism having anti-reverse teeth and a stopper claw. The mechanism prevents reverse rotation of the spool through engagement between the anti-reverse teeth and the stopper claw. The fishing reel is characterized by a stopper-claw control member attached to a rotary member opposing to the spool braking plate to be rotatable within a predetermined angular range. The control member has a control portion engageable with the stopper claw for controlling engagement and disengagement of the stopper claw.

  • Patent number: 4466580
    Abstract: A fishing reel comprises: a rotary frame driven by a drive mechanism; a spool supported to the front of a spool shaft; a drag mechanism provided at the rear of the spool shaft for applying a load on rotation of the spool shaft, the rotary frame rotating to wind a fishing line onto the spool, the spool being supported rotatably with respect to the spool shaft; and a slide mechanism which is provided between the spool and the spool shaft for holding the spool to the spool shaft under a load slightly smaller than the maximum load corresponding to a strength of the line wound onto the spool, so that when the line is subjected to a load greater than the spool holding load, the spool freely rotates with respect to the spool shaft.
