Abstract
A reciprocating mechanism includes a first supporting member, a second supporting member, and a biasing member. The worm shaft includes a shaft portion, a first shaft supporting portion having a spherical portion formed in a convex spherical shape at a distal end, and a second shaft supporting portion. The first supporting member includes a first bottom portion abutting the spherical portion. The second supporting member includes a second bottom portion abutting a distal end of the second shaft supporting portion. The biasing member biases at least one of the first supporting member and the second supporting member in an axial direction.

A reciprocating mechanism for a fishing reel for evenly winding a fishing line onto a spool mounted on a reel body, comprising:
- a worm shaft having a shaft portion with intersecting spiral grooves formed on an outer surface thereof, a first shaft supporting portion supporting the shaft portion with respect to the reel body at a first end of the shaft portion and having a spherical portion at a distal end formed in a convex spherical shape, and a second shaft supporting portion supporting the shaft portion with respect to the reel body at a second end of the shaft portion;
- a first support member with a bottomed tubular shape, having a first bottom portion abutting the spherical portion of the first shaft supporting portion of the worm shaft, and being disposed on the reel body to support the first shaft supporting portion of the worm shaft;
- a second supporting member with a bottomed tubular shape, having a second bottom portion abutting the second shaft supporting portion of the worm shaft, and being disposed on the reel body to support the second shaft supporting portion of the worm shaft;
- and,
- a biasing member biasing at least one of the first supporting member and the second supporting member in an axial direction.
A reciprocating mechanism for a fishing reel for evenly winding a fishing line to a spool mounted to a reel body, comprising:
- a worn shaft having a shaft portion with intersecting spiral grooves formed on an outer surface thereof, and first and second shaft supporting portions for supporting the shaft portion with respect to the reel body, respectively provided at two ends of the shaft portion;
- a first supporting member with a bottomed tubular shape, having a first bottom portion protruding on a shaft portion side of the worm shaft in a convex spherical shape abutting the first shaft supporting portion of the worm shaft, and being disposed on the reel body to support the first shaft supporting portion of the worm shaft;
- a second supporting member with a bottomed tubular shape, having a second bottom portion abutting the second shaft supporting portion of the worm shaft, and being disposed on the reel body to support the second shaft supporting portion of the worm shaft;
- and
- a biasing member biasing at least one of the first supporting member and the second supporting member in an axial direction.
A reciprocating mechanism for a fishing reel for evenly winding a fishing line onto a spool mounted on a reel main body, comprising:
- a worm shaft having a shaft portion with intersecting spiral grooves formed on an outer perimeter surface thereof, and first and second shaft supporting portions configured to support the shaft portion with respect to the reel body, respectively provided at two ends of the shaft portion;
- and
- a biasing member having a protruding projecting portion on the shaft portion side of the worm shaft in a convex spherical shape, and abutting a first shaft supporting portion of the worm shaft to bias the worm shaft in an axial direction.
