Patent number: 9198407Abstract: Provided is a fishing reel having reliability in opening a side cover. The fishing reel is configured such that when the side cover opens, the side cover hangs from the reel body rather than being completely separated from the reel body, so that the user can easily open the side cover even when standing on uneven terrain such as on the rocks of a seashore. The fishing reel has a pillar structure which can conduct a first-extraction and second rotation operation such that even when the reel is designed in such a way that an end of the spool shaft necessarily protrudes out of the reel body, a rotating and opening operation of a cover assembly including the spool cover and the side cover is prevented from be impeded by the shaft, whereby even when in an extreme fishing environment, reliability in opening the side cover can be ensured.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: DOYO ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventor: Kwang-Ho Hyun

Patent number: 9072284Abstract: A fishing reel having a side cover that can be opened and closed in order to attach and detach a spool or the like. The fishing reel having the quick-opening side cover can be operated with one hand, in which a quick-opening system is employed such that a fisher can open the side cover by moving a lock by manipulating it with one hand. A grip of the lock can stay in the protruded state when the side cover is opened such that the fisher can close the side cover surely and securely, thereby preventing the side cover from being opened during fishing.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2013Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: DOYO ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventor: Kwang-Ho Hyun
