  • Patent number: 7290727
    Abstract: In a first embodiment of the present invention, a fishing line latching member can be returned from the fishing line releasable state (clutch OFF) to the fishing line windable state (clutch ON) simply by operating a return operation member, without rotatably operating the handle as in a conventional manner. This enables the user to respond promptly even when he/she gets a bite immediately after casting the fishing line. Furthermore, it also allows the user to use a finger of his/her hand holding the fishing rod to perform an operation for removing slack of the fishing line by using the return operation member.

  • Publication number: 20040125134
    Abstract: In a communication system in which a plurality of client apparatuses individually having CAD software are connected via a network to a server managing information, information on a notation created on a CAD file screen of an arbitrary client apparatus is transmitted to the server. The notation information transmitted to the server is recorded on a recording medium. Further, the notation information is transmitted to one or more client apparatuses as destinations of the notation information. Thus, the transmitted notation information is displayed on a CAD file screen of each client apparatus as the destinations.
