Patent number: 10555512Abstract: A spinning reel includes a reel body, a handle, a spool shaft, a spool, a rotor, a reciprocating mechanism, and a clutch mechanism. The handle is rotatably disposed on the reel body. The spool shaft is supported by the reel body. The spool moves in an axial direction of the spool shaft together with the spool shaft. The rotor rotates about the spool by rotation of the handle and winds a fishing line around the spool. The reciprocating mechanism moves the spool shaft back and forth in the axial direction when the rotation of the handle is transmitted thereto. The clutch mechanism switches between a transmitting state to transmit the rotation of the handle to the reciprocating mechanism and a non-transmitting state to terminate the transmission. The reciprocating mechanism enables the spool shaft to move in the axial direction when the clutch mechanism is in the non-transmitting state.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Shimano Inc.Inventor: Tomohiro Nishikawa
