Abstract
A spool for a dual-bearing reel is rotatably disposed in a reel body. The spool includes a bobbin trunk, a first flange and a second flange. The bobbin trunk enables a fishing line to be wound about an outer periphery thereof. Each of the first and second flanges includes an inner wall surface and an outer peripheral surface. The inner wall surface is provided on one end of the bobbin trunk. The outer peripheral surface extends axially outward from a distal end of the inner wall surface. Additionally, the distal end of the inner wall surface of the first flange has a larger outer diameter than the distal end of the inner wall surface of the second flange. The inner wall surface of the first flange and the outer peripheral surface of the first flange are connected through a smooth curved surface.

A spool for a dual-bearing reel, the spool rotatably disposed in a reel body, the spool comprising:
- a bobbin trunk configured such that a fishing line is wound about an outer periphery thereof;
- and
- a first flange and a second flange, each of the first and second flanges including an inner wall surface and an outer peripheral surface, the inner wall surface provided on one end of the bobbin trunk, the outer peripheral surface extending axially outward from a distal end of the inner wall surface, wherein
- the distal end of the inner wall surface of the first flange has a larger outer diameter than the distal end of the inner wall surface of the second flange, and
- the inner wall surface of the first flange and the outer peripheral surface of the first flange are connected through a smooth curved surface along an entire periphery of the first flange;
- wherein the outer peripheral surface of the second flange slants such that an outer diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the second flange gradually increases in accordance with axially outward extension of the outer peripheral surface of the second flange.
A dual-bearing reel configured to release a fishing line forward, the dual-bearing reel comprising:
- a handle;
- a reel body including a first body part to which the handle is rotatably attached and a second body part disposed axially at an interval from the first body part;
- a spool including
- a bobbin trunk configured such that a fishing line is wound about an outer periphery thereof;
- and
- a first flange and a second flange, each of the first and second flanges including an inner wall surface and an outer peripheral surface, the inner wall surface provided on one end of the bobbin trunk, the outer peripheral surface extending axially outward from a distal end of the inner wall surface, wherein the distal end of the inner wall surface of the first flange has a larger outer diameter than the distal end of the inner wall surface of the second flange, and the inner wall surface of the first flange and the outer peripheral surface of the first flange are connected through a smooth curved surface along an entire periphery of the first flange, the spool rotatably disposed between the first body part and the second body part;
- and
- a clutch operating member pivotably provided on the reel body, the clutch operating member for performing an operation of transmitting a rotational force and an operation of blocking the rotational force between the handle and the spool, wherein
- the first flange of the spool is disposed on the same side as the first body part;
- wherein the outer peripheral surface of the second flange slants such that an outer diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the second flange gradually increases in accordance with axially outward extension of the outer peripheral surface of the second flange.
A dual-bearing reel configured to release a fishing line forward, the dual-bearing reel comprising:
- a handle;
- a reel body including a first body part to which the handle is rotatably attached and a second body part disposed axially at an interval from the first body part;
- a spool including
- a bobbin trunk configured such that a fishing line is wound about an outer periphery thereof;
- and
- a first flange and a second flange, each of the first and second flanges including an inner wall surface and an outer peripheral surface, the inner wall surface provided on one end of the bobbin trunk, the outer peripheral surface extending axially outward from a distal end of the inner wall surface, wherein the distal end of the inner wall surface of the first flange has a larger outer diameter than the distal end of the inner wall surface of the second flange, and the inner wall surface of the first flange and the outer peripheral surface of the first flange are connected through a smooth surface curved along an entire periphery of the first flange, the spool rotatably disposed between the first body part and the second body part;
- and
- a clutch operating member pivotably provided on the reel body, the clutch operating member for performing an operation of transmitting a rotational force and an operation of blocking the rotational force between the handle and the spool, wherein
- the first flange of the spool is disposed on the same side as the second body part;
- wherein the outer peripheral surface of the second flange slants such that an outer diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the second flange gradually increases in accordance with axially outward extension of the outer peripheral surface of the second flange.
