  • Patent number: 6435438
    Abstract: A centrifugal brake structure of dual bearing type fishing reel has a brake body assembled onto a spool shaft with a plurality of pins onto which corresponding brakes are placed. The brake body includes circumferential recesses, each recess having step portions. A fixing plate for fixing and releasing a brake operation connected to the brake body and having fixing protrusions. A brake stopper and a spring are inserted into the each of the recesses, enabling the brake to be pushed out from a pin only when a fishing line is cast a long distance from the reel and the brake does not interfer when the reel is idly rotated or the line is cast only short distances.

  • Patent number: 6412719
    Abstract: A dual-bearing reel has a rotatable pinion with a gear train driven by a rotating handle, a spool rotatable in the direction of the rotating handle by transferring a rotational force from the pinion to a spool shaft. The pinion and spool shaft are made so that releasing the pinion from the spool shaft allows the spool to rotate freely.

  • Patent number: 6409112
    Abstract: A dual-bearing reel has a control knob for adjusting a braking force applied to a spool shaft. The reel includes a spring-biased click pin inside the control knob. The click pin is movably biased against a plate having concave grooves held within the control knob. The plate is arranged to rotate with the control knob. When the control knob is rotated, one end of the click pin strikes the concave grooves, thereby generating a click sound.
