Abstract
A sound generator comprises a protrusion and a recess that are alternatingly disposed in a circumferential direction. The recess comprises a first apex that is a boundary with one adjacent protrusion, a first face that is continuous to the first apex, and is recessed in a radially outward direction, a second face that is continuous to the first face, and a second apex that is continuous to the second face, and is a boundary with the other protrusion that is adjacent to the recess. A length L2 from the second apex to a deepest portion of the recess is longer than a length L1 from the first apex to the deepest portion of the recess.
Claims3
A fishing spinning reel comprising:
- a spool that is rotatably and frictionally coupled to a distal end of a spool shaft by a drag device, the spool shaft being provided in a reel body;
- and
- a spool sound generation mechanism in which a sound generator and a sound generation member are engaged with each other, the sound generator being disposed on an inner peripheral face of the spool and having an uneven shape, the sound generation member being provided in the spool shaft,
- wherein the sound generator comprises a protrusion and a recess that are alternatingly disposed in a circumferential direction,
- the recess comprises a first apex that is a boundary with the protrusion that is adjacent to the recess on one side, a first face that is continuous to the first apex, and is recessed in a radially outward direction, a second face that is continuous to the first face, and a second apex that is continuous to the second face, and is a boundary with the protrusion that is adjacent to the recess on the other side,
- the second face is disposed on an opposite side of a direction in which the spool rotates when a fishing line has been sent out, and
- a length L2 from the second apex to a deepest portion of the recess is longer than a length L1 from the first apex to the deepest portion of the recess.
