  • Publication number: 20150090822
    Abstract: A clutch mechanism includes a clutch pin, a pinion gear, a first bearing, a second bearing and a clearance adjusting part. The pinion gear is axially movable to an on-position that causes the pinion gear to engage with the clutch pin and be unitarily rotatable with the spool shaft and an off-position that causes the pinion gear to disengage from the clutch pin. The first bearing is disposed on an outer peripheral surface of a first support part of the pinion gear. The second bearing is disposed on an outer peripheral surface of a second support part of the pinion gear. The clearance adjusting part is configured to partially reduce a clearance between an inner peripheral surface of a through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the spool shaft at the clearance adjusting part in an on-state of the clutch mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8113456
    Abstract: In a speed-change operation mechanism, a main body of a lock member is disposed to produce a clearance between the main body and the surface of the handle arm, whereas a pivot operation part of the lock member is disposed to close a clearance between the main body and the surface of the handle arm and simultaneously to produce a clearance between the pivot operation part and the surface of the handle arm. A relatively large clearance is produced between the main body of the lock member and the surface of the handle arm, whereas a small clearance, just enough to allow a pivot operation of the lock member, is produced between the pivot operation part of the lock member and the surface of the handle arm.

  • Patent number: 7866587
    Abstract: A drag adjusting mechanism for a dual-bearing reel comprises a drag adjusting lever, a cam mechanism, and a rotation restricting portion. The drag adjusting lever rotates about a spool shaft between a drag release position and a maximum drag position. The cam mechanism has a cam surface that converts rotation of the drag adjusting lever into axial movement of the drag mechanism along the axial direction of the spool shaft. The rotation restricting member is provided on the cam surface and regulates rotation of the drag adjusting lever to the drag release position. The rotation restricting member has a protrusion with an apex, a first slanted surface extending from the apex toward a first position corresponding to a drag release position, and a second slanted surface extending from the apex in the direction opposite to the drag release position. The angle of the first slanted surface is smaller than the angle of the second slanted surface.

  • Patent number: 7845590
    Abstract: A lever sound generating device is constructed to generate a sound in response to rotation of a drag adjusting lever mounted to an outer peripheral surface of a boss formed on a reel unit of a dual-bearing reel. The sound generating device comprises a sound generating member and a striker mechanism. The sound generating member includes a truncated cone-shaped member with an undulated surface. The sound generating member is mounted to the boss and restricted from rotating and moving in an axially inward direction. The striker mechanism is mounted to the drag adjusting lever and arranged to repeatedly contact the undulated surface when the drag adjusting lever is rotated about the spool shaft.

  • Patent number: 7819353
    Abstract: A fishing reel has a reel unit that is mounted on the fishing rod, a spool that is rotatably attached to the reel unit, a tension detector that detects tension applied to the said fishing line, and a communication portion that transmits to a fishing information display apparatus data of the tension applied to the fishing line detected by the tension detector. The fishing information display apparatus is provided externally of a fishing reel, and receives data communicated from the fishing reel. The fishing information display apparatus includes a body member, a display portion provided in the body member, a communication portion that receives from the fishing reel data of the tension applied to the fishing line, and a controller that is displays on the display portion the data of tension received from the fishing reel. A navigator away from an angler can certainly have information of the fishing situation.
