Multiplier fishing reel with a level-wind

A multiplier fishing reel comprising a frame, a line spool rotatably mounted in said frame, said line spool being rotatable in a first direction by tractive force from the fishing line when the fishing line is paid out from said line spool, a rotatably mounted hand crank in a position outside said frame at one side of said line spool, and first transmission means (3, 4, 6) between said crank and said line spool at said one side thereof for rotating said line spool in the opposite direction for retrieval of the fishing line onto said spool, a level wind mechanism (9, 25) for laying the line on said line spool during retrieval of the line, second transmission means (17, 10, 14) between said line spool at the other side thereof and said level wind mechanism for driving the latter via said line spool when said line spool is rotated by means of said crank, first clutch means (6) in the form of a disengageable clutch means between said first transmission and said line spool for disengaging said line spool from said hand crank when a cast is to be effected, second clutch means (3) in the form of an adjustable frictional clutch means in said first transmission means for permitting rotation of said line spool in relation to said crank in said first direction by an essential tractive force from the fishing line, such as when a fish taking the bait rushes, and an automatically engageable and disengageable third clutch means (16, 40), said third clutch means being independent in relation to said first and second clutch means included in said second transmission means at said other side of said line spool and including cooperating first and second rotatable clutch members, said first clutch member being connected to be rotated by said line spool and said second clutch member being connected to said level wind mechanism, said first and second clutch members being adapted to be connected to each other only when said line spool is driven by said hand crank for connecting said latter with said level wind mechanism via said first transmission, said first and second clutch means, said line spool and said third clutch means;

• said first and second clutch members of said third clutch means (16, 40) being arranged to be disengaged in relation to each other automatically when said line spool is rotated by tractive force from the fishing line, whereby said level wind mechanism, when said first clutch means is engaged and said line spool is rotated by means of said hand crank, is driven in a normal way through said line spool, whereas said line spool, when said first clutch means is disengaged, is rotatable by the fishing line substantially without transmitting driving force to either said level wind mechanism or to said hand crank, both of which may then be stationary.
