Abstract: A brake device for a dual bearing real, includes a one-way clutch, an operating member and a pressing member. The one-way clutch has an inner race, an outer race and a rolling element, and receives rotation of a spool shaft only in a fishing-line casting direction through the outer race. The outer race is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the inner race, and is rotatable with respect to a reel unit. The rolling element is disposed between the inner race and the outer race. The operating member is disposed on the outer peripheral side of an end of the spool shaft, and is engaged with the reel unit so as to be movable in a spool shaft direction. The pressing member is configured to press the outer race. The outer race is restricted from moving oppositely to the pressing member in the spool shaft direction.

Abstract: A double bearing type reel includes: a reel main body having a pair of side plates; a spool rotatably supported between the side plates; and a fishline guide device reciprocatingly provided between the side plates extending in front of the spool, said fishline guide device winding a fishline parallel around the spool. The fishline guide device includes a fishline guide portion having a lower portion which guides the fishline in a fishline take-up state and an upper portion which guides the fishline in a fishline play-out state. The upper portion is larger in width than the lower portion. The fishline guide device may have a pair of arm portions movably supported to the side plates by outer ends thereof.

Abstract: Method and device for indicating overload are provided for a load suspended from a hoist. The hoist comprises a slip-ring induction motor (1). The input power together with the angular acceleration of the motor are metered. Then the metered values are compiled in a computer (5) by means of a suggested formula in order to estimate the hook load. The lift will be stopped, if the hook load continuously exceeds a predetermined value during a predetermined time.
