Abstract: An open-face fishing reel of the fixed-spool type has a rotor, a line spool coaxial with the rotor, and a bail for winding a line on the spool. Two attachments are provided on the rotor. Two mounting elements carrying the bail are so rotatably mounted on a respective attachment that the bail is pivotable about a bail axis perpendicular to the rotor axis, between a folded-in line-winding position and a folded-out position in which it is released of the line. One attachment has an open chamber. The damping device has an elastic damping element provided in the chamber under one mounting element which has a lug for cooperating with the damping element. The damping element and the lug are so positioned that the lug, when the bail is pivoted from its folded-out position to its folded-in line-winding position, engages the damping element in order, during the final phase of the pivotal movement, to compress the damping element so as to bring about a gentle braking of the rotational movement.

Abstract: An oscillating mechanism in a fixed-spool fishing reel of the closed-face type has a supporting plate mounted in the frame of the fishing reel. The reel has a handle whose shaft extends through the supporting plate. A first gear is nonrotatably connected to the shaft of the handle. A second gear is supported by the supporting plate and meshes with the first gear. The second gear has a smaller diameter than the first gear and carries an eccentric pin. A slide is connected to the line spool of the fishing reel for oscillating the line spool when the handle is turned. The slide has an elongate recess in which the eccentric pin engages for oscillating the slide and, hence, the line spool when the handle is turned. The slide further has a guide slot in which the shaft of the handle engages as a guide pin.

Abstract: An open-face fishing reel of the fixed-spool type has a rotor, a line spool coaxial with the rotor, a bail for winding a line onto the spool and a detachable trigger mechanism. Two attachments are provided on the rotor. Two mounting elements supporting the bail are so rotatably mounted each on one attachment that the bail is pivotal about a bail axis perpendicular to the rotor axis, between a folded-in line-winding position and a folded-out position in which it is released of the line. One attachment has a recess. The trigger mechanism consists of a lever having a pivot pin engaging in the recess. The lever is rotatable about a first axis parallel to the bail axis and defined by the pivot pin between a first position and a second position.

Abstract: An open-face fishing reel of the fixed-spool type has a rotor, a line spool, a bail for winding a line onto the line spool, and a detachable trigger mechanism. Two mounting elements supporting the bail are so rotatably mounted each on one attachment on the rotor that the bail is pivotal between a folded-in line-winding position and a folded-out position in which it is released of the line. The trigger mechanism has a support element releasably mounted on one of the attachments and carrying a pin on which a trigger is mounted for pivotal movement between a first position and a second position. A driver eccentrically engages the mounting element mounted on the above-mentioned attachment.

Abstract: A click mechanism in a fishing reel is adapted to produce a click sound on relative rotation between a shaft having a first member non-rotatably connected thereto, and a second member which is rotatably mounted on the shaft. The click mechanism comprises a snap-action click ring which is provided between the first member and the second member. First teeth are formed on the side of the first member facing the snap-action click ring. Second teeth are formed on the side of the second member facing the snap-action click ring. The snap-action click ring comprises a first resilient tongue and a second resilient tongue which extend in the same direction in the circumferential direction of the snap-action click ring but are outwardly bent in opposite directions in the axial direction thereof. The first resilient tongue engages the first teeth, and the second resilient tongue engages the second teeth.

Abstract: A bail mechanism in an open-face fishing reel of the fixed-spool type having a rotor and a line spool which is coaxial with the rotor and oscillating in the axial direction, includes a bail for winding a line onto the line spool. By means of two mounting elements, the bail is mounted on two attachments disposed on the rotor diametrically opposite each other. The bail is pivotable about a bail axis at right angles to the axis of the rotor, between a folded-in line winding position and a folded-out position in which the bail is released of the line. One attachment defines an open chamber and has a cover plate detachably mounted over the chamber for closing it. The cover plate has a through hole whose center is located on the bail axis, and carries on its inside a rotary disc having a center pin extending through the hole in the cover plate and carrying the associated mounting element on the outside of the cover plate.

Abstract: A fishing reel of the fixed-spool type comprises a frame and a spool shaft rotatably mounted therein. A line spool is non-rotatably mounted on the end of the spool shaft projecting from the frame. The reel has a transmission for changing the movement of a handle, both into a rotary movement of a rotor for winding up a line on the line spool and into a movement of an eccentric device for axial oscillation of the spool shaft. The reel further has an adjustable friction brake intended to allow the line spool to rotate under frictional drag in relation to the frame. Further, the fishing reel has a friction brake release device which is operated by the handle and which, when the handle is turned backwards (in a direction contrary to the direction of retrieve), acts on the preset friction brake so that it can be released and thereafter readily reengaged.

Abstract: A food preparing machine has an electric motor for driving food processing implements in order to eliminate the need for a separate weighing unit or for a volume-measuring unit when measuring different ingredients, the machine is provided with a weight-measuring device which is connected by way of an electric circuit in the machine to a display on the casing of the machine, for showing the weight of the ingredients.

Abstract: In fishing reels, more particularly non-rotary type reels, there is provided a device comprising a disengageable anti-reverse mechanism in the form of a pawl and ratchet mechanism and being characterized by an actuating means operable by the hand crank of the fishing reel via a transmission rotatable by the crank, and by means of which the pawl of the anti-reverse mechanism is rockable between an operative anti-reverse position and an inoperative position in relation to the ratchet, depending on the direction in which the crank is rotated.
