  • Patent number: 6634587
    Abstract: In a fishing reel fishing line release and retrieve mechanism in which a projection is affixed to the periphery of a rotor in such a manner that the projection spans the periphery of a spools integral flanges and extends into a gap between the cylindrical formed periphery of a free rotating disk and the periphery of the outer spool flange, a mode for coiling fishing line onto the spool. Separating spool and disk from rotor to a distance the projection no longer extends into gap a mode for allowing fishing line to uncoil off of spool. A fishing reel fishing line release and retrieve mechanism having a rotor shaft and a spool shaft that rotate about the same axis and rotatable in the opposite directions simultaneously by a crank determining the fishing line retrieved to crank rotation ratio and having a mechanism to disengage spool shaft rotation during fishing line retrieve operation determining a second fishing line retrieved to crank rotation ratio.

  • Publication number: 20030085312
    Abstract: In a fishing reel fishing line release and retrieve mechanism in which projections are affixed to the periphery of a rotor in such a manner that the projections span across the periphery of a spool and its integral flanges and protrude into a aperture between the outer spool flange periphery and the convoluted periphery of a disk, a mode for coiling fishing line onto the spool. Separating spool and disk from rotor to a distance projections no longer protrude into aperture a mode for allowing fishing line to uncoil off of spool. A fishing reel fishing line release and retrieve mechanism having a rotor shaft and a spool shaft that rotate about the same axis and each rotatable in opposite directions simultaneously by a crank determining the fishing line retrieved to crank rotation ratio and having a mechanism to disengage spool shaft rotation during fishing line retrieve operation determining a second fishing line retrieved to crank rotation ratio.
