Abstract
Provided is a fishing reel with a side cover safety lock and, more particularly, a fishing reel with a safety lock that automatically returns a lock lever such that a locking projection of the lock lever is locked into a locking groove of a frame in order to prevent a side cover from unlocking and separating by performing a safety lock mode by operating the lock lever for locking the side cover when the side cover is recombined after being separated.
Claims4
A fishing reel with a side cover safety lock, the fishing reel comprising:
- a frame having locking grooves;
- a side cover detachably coupled to a first side of the frame;
- a lock lever coupled to the side cover to rotate in two directions and having a grip and locking projections selectively locked into the locking grooves when the lock lever is rotated in two direction through the grip;
- and
- a safety lock preventing separation of the side cover by rotating the lock lever such that the locking projections are locked into the locking grooves when the side cover is recombined with the frame after being separated,
- wherein the safety lock includes:
- a torsion spring elastically supporting and rotating the lock lever in a locking direction and an unlocking direction from a dead point to prevent the lock lever from returning by applying elasticity in the unlocking direction when the lock lever is rotated to separate the side cover and to allow the lock lever to return by applying elasticity in the locking direction when the side cover is recombined with the frame after being separated;
- and
- a trigger pressing the lock lever beyond the dead point such that the lock lever is returned by the torsion spring when the side cover is recombined with the frame after being separated.

A fishing reel with a side cover safety lock, the fishing reel comprising:
- a frame having locking grooves;
- a side cover detachably coupled to an outer side of the frame;
- a lock lever coupled to the side cover to rotate in two directions and having a grip and locking projections selectively locked into the locking grooves when the lock lever is rotated in two direction through the grip;
- and
- a safety lock preventing separation of the side cover by rotating the lock lever such that the locking projections are locked into the locking grooves when the side cover is recombined with the frame after being separated,
- wherein the safety lock includes:
- an elastic body elastically supporting the lock lever in the locking direction;
- and
- a lock spring locking the lock lever such that the lock lever is prevented from returning by the elastic body when the lock lever is rotated to separate the side cover, and releasing the lock lever such that the lock lever is returned by the elastic body when the side cover is recombined with the frame after being separated.
