Abstract: A spinning reel includes a reel body, a handle, a spool shaft, a spool, a rotor, a rotor driving mechanism, and an oscillating mechanism configured to rotate in conjunction with the handle and cause the spool to reciprocate via the spool shaft. The oscillating mechanism includes a threaded shaft having a spiral groove and is configured to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the handle. A slider is engaged with the spiral groove of the threaded shaft, and is configured to reciprocate in conjunction with rotation of the threaded shaft. A guide shaft has a rear end disposed in the through-hole arranged in the rear portion of the reel body, and is locked so as to prevent the shaft from disconnecting from by the reel body, and is configured to guide the reciprocation of the slider. An annular elastic member is disposed between the through-hole and the guide shaft.

The oscillating mechanism includes a traverse camshaft that is disposed in inside of the housing and a slider that slides along the traverse camshaft. The retaining member is arranged at a rear side of the traverse camshaft to retain the traverse camshaft in the housing. The bolt member fixes the retaining member to the housing by being screwed into the housing. A part of the shaft portion of the first bolt member is arranged at a prescribed spacing from the slider in an orthogonal direction to a sliding direction of the slider while the slider slides to a rear end portion of the traverse camshaft.

The cam groove 38 has a first groove section 38b and a second groove section 38c on opposite sides of an intersecting portion 38a. The first groove section 38b and the second groove section 38c have different widths at the intersecting portion 38a.

Abstract: A fishing reel is provided having a pair of opposed sidewalls with a spool holding fishing line rotatably supported between the sidewalls. The spool is freely rotatable in a first direction to release fishing line from the bottom portion of the spool, and is mechanically rotatable in a second direction opposite to the first direction to retrieve the fishing line and to wind the line back onto the spool. A handle crank is provided for imparting rotation to the spool in the second direction by rotation of the crank in the same, second direction.

Abstract: A bait reel equipped with a turning dial controls the winding of the fishing line by controlling the revolution of the spool during fishing. The bait reel equipped with a turning dial has a dial for spooling connected by the handle axle and the combination of gears. Therefore, it enables the user to manually fine-tune the revolution of the spool, makes the structure of the reel simple even when the turning dial is added by making the guide support add the turning dial to the handle axle so the fishing line can be smoothly and stably wound on or released from the spool, and makes it easy to change and maintain the turning dial by fixing the turning dial to the side cover located, with the possibility of detaching and re-attaching, on the opposite side of the handle.

Abstract: A line guide for a reel unit for winding a fishing line onto or unwinding it from a spool is provided on the housing of the reel unit and comprises a carriage guide and a carriage element with at least one line eye. The carriage guide can be functionally linked with the gear mechanism of the spool. Advantageously, the carriage guide is configured as a spindle-shaped pilot shaft and the carriage element is provided with an internally threaded guide channel for guiding on the spindle-shaped pilot shaft.

The portable studio hoist is designed to operate on standard single phase 120 volt power and includes a motor mounted to a support bar with a dual cable system for supporting, raising and lowering a batten to which the load is secured. The portable studio hoist allows for easy movement as needed within a studio environment and attachment where needed with provisions for variably orientated attachment relative to the pipe grid. A series of portable studio hoists can be secured around the studio and then controlled remotely from a single location by way of the use of control hubs, to which a series of portable studio hoists are connected, and a selector control station connected to each control hub with a pendant to operate the hoists.

Abstract: An oscillating mechanism is for reciprocating a spool in a spool shaft direction in cooperation with rotation of a handle. The oscillating mechanism includes a slider member, a gear member, and a guide shaft. The slider member is mounted at least axially immovably to a spool shaft, on the fore end of which the spool is mounted. The gear member reciprocates the slider member in the shaft axial direction in cooperation with rotation of the handle. The guide shaft is supported at two locations of its outer circumferential surface with the reel unit, has an annular groove to which a retainer can be attached for preventing disengagement of the guide shaft in one axial direction, and guides the slider member in a direction substantially parallel to the spool shaft. In this way, structure for retaining a guide shaft is simplified and design constraint alleviated.

The transverse shaft is adapted to be rotated by the driving gear, and is formed with a single continuous helical thread along the length thereof extending approximately 180° along the length of the shaft in a first direction and the approximately 180° along the shaft in the opposite direction. The threaded portion of the shaft is engaged by a pawl carried by the line guide.

The line guide hole tapers toward the side from which fishing line is paid out.

Abstract: Reciprocating mechanism for a spinning-reel, which reciprocates the spool in response to rotation of the rotor, has a worm, a slider, an intermediate gear, a first guide shaft, and a second guide shaft. Crisscrossing helical grooves are formed in the outer circumference of worm, which is rotatively supported by the reel unit. Slider, which is coupled to the spool, has an engagement pin that engages helical grooves, and a slider body that has a mounting hole that pivotably supports engagement pin such that engagement pin engages helical grooves from radial outside of worm. Intermediate gear transmits rotation of rotor to worm. First and second guide shafts guide slider in the direction of spool shaft. First guide shaft is disposed on a side of engagement member opposite the side closer to worm. With the present invention, it is possible to reduce the size of reciprocating mechanism.
