Abstract
A brake plate assembly in a drag mechanism of a fishing reel includes a first brake plate and a second brake plate. The first brake plate has a first bonding surface. The second brake plate has a second bonding surface bonded to the first bonding surface, and has greater wear resistance than that of the first brake plate.
Claims19
A brake plate assembly in a drag mechanism of a fishing reel, comprising:
- a first brake plate having a first bonding surface;
- and
- a second brake plate having a second bonding surface bonded to the first bonding surface, and having greater wear resistance than that of the first brake plate.
The brake plate assembly for the drag mechanism of the fishing reel recited in claim 14, wherein
- the second hole extends in a direction that intersects with the thickness direction.
A fishing reel, comprising:
- a reel body;
- a spool rotatably mounted to the reel body;
- and
- a drag mechanism having a braking structure configured to brake the rotation of the spool in a casting direction,
- the braking structure including a first lining material, a second lining material, a first brake plate assembly, and a second brake plate assembly,
- the first brake plate assembly including
- a fourth brake plate having a fifth bonding surface, and
- a fifth brake plate having a first frictional contact surface configured to frictionally contact a sixth bonding surface bonded to the fifth bonding surface and the first lining material having a greater wear resistance than that of the fourth brake plate, and
- the second brake plate assembly including
- a sixth brake plate having a seventh bonding surface and an eighth bonding surface disposed on an opposite side of the seventh bonding surface,
- a seventh brake plate having a second frictional contact surface configured to frictionally contact a ninth bonding surface bonded to the seventh bonding surface and the first lining material having a greater wear resistance than that of the sixth brake plate, and
- an eighth brake plate having a third frictional contact surface configured to frictionally contact a tenth bonding surface bonded to the eighth bonding surface and the second lining material having a greater wear resistance than that of the sixth brake plate.
