Abstract
A spinning reel includes a rotor rotatable around an axis of a spool shaft, a handle shaft, a drive shaft rotatable around an axis of the handle shaft, a rotational transmission mechanism configured to transmit the rotation of the drive shaft to a rotor, a rotational control mechanism disposed between the handle shaft and the drive shaft and only transmitting rotation of the handle shaft in a reeling direction to the drive shaft and not transmitting rotation of the rotor in a casting direction from the drive shaft to the handle shaft, and a brake arranged to be in contact with the handle shaft and integrally rotatable with the drive shaft and configured to apply a braking force to the rotation of the handle.
Claims10
A spinning reel comprising:
- a reel body;
- a spool shaft supported by the reel body;
- a spool supported by the spool shaft;
- a rotor rotatable around an axis of the spool shaft, and configured to wind fishing line around the spool;
- a handle shaft extending in a direction intersecting the spool shaft and supported by the reel body so as to be rotatable in a reeling direction and a casting direction opposite to the reeling direction;
- a drive shaft rotatable around an axis of the handle shaft;
- a rotational transmission mechanism configured to transmit the rotation of the drive shaft to the rotor;
- a rotational control mechanism disposed between the handle shaft and the drive shaft and only transmitting rotation of the handle shaft in the reeling direction to the drive shaft and not transmitting rotation of the rotor in the casting direction from the drive shaft to the handle shaft;
- and
- a brake arranged to be in contact with the handle shaft and integrally rotatable with the drive shaft and configured to apply a braking force to the rotation of the handle shaft.
