Abstract
A rotation transmission mechanism includes a drive shaft, a drive gear, a pinion gear, a first bearing, and a positioning structure. The drive shaft is rotatable with respect to a chassis. The drive gear is unitarily rotatable with the drive shaft. The pinion gear is rotatably mounted to the chassis and disposed in a skew direction to the drive shaft, the pinion gear meshed with the drive gear. The first bearing is mounted to the chassis, is disposed between the chassis and the drive shaft, and rotatably supports the drive shaft. The positioning structure is mounted to an end of the drive shaft, and positions the drive shaft with respect to the first bearing.

A rotation transmission mechanism for a spinning reel, the rotation transmission mechanism mounted to a reel unit including a chassis and a lid member, the rotation transmission mechanism comprising:
- a drive shaft rotatable with respect to the chassis;
- a drive gear unitarily rotatable with the drive shaft;
- a pinion gear rotatably mounted to the chassis and disposed in a skew direction to the drive shaft, the pinion gear meshed with the drive gear;
- a first bearing mounted to the chassis and disposed between the chassis and the drive shaft, the first bearing rotatably supporting the drive shaft;
- and
- a positioning structure mounted to an end of the drive shaft, the positioning structure to position the drive shaft with respect to the first bearing, the positioning structure having a positioning member partially disposed at an axial outer side of the first bearing.
