Abstract
Provided is a fishing reel equipped with an anti-loosening handle. The fishing reel includes an anti-loosening plug that is fitted on first flat portions of a handle shaft and has sub-male threaded portions corresponding to first male threaded portions in order to solve a problem that a handle nut is loosened or a handle shaft is broken when a load is applied to a handle arm in a process of winding a fishing line due to a gap between the handle nut and a flat portion of a handle shaft even though the handle nut is fixed in common handle shafts having an anti-idling flat portion at an end which is formed by U-cutting or side-cutting to couple the handle arm without idling.
Claims4
A fishing reel comprising:
- a frame;
- a spool combined with the frame through a spool shaft;
- a handle coupled to a side of the frame through a handle shaft to rotate the spool;
- and
- a tension nut disposed on a side of the frame to adjust a casting distance by controlling a rotational speed of a spool shaft,
- wherein the handle includes:
- a handle shaft operating with the spool and having first male-threaded portions at an end thereof, anti-idling first flat portions formed at sides of the first male threaded portions, and stoppers formed at lower ends of the first flat portions;
- a handle arm having a coupling hole fitted on the first male threaded portions having a non-circular structure for preventing idling due to the first flat portions, to be seated on the stoppers;
- handle knobs disposed at ends of the handle arm;
- an anti-loosening plug fitted on the first flat portions of the handle shaft and having sub-male threaded portions corresponding to the first male threaded portions;
- and
- a handle nut thread-fastened to a coupling male threaded portion formed by the first male threaded portions and the sub-male threaded portions and fixing the handle arm locked to the stoppers.
