Abstract
In a double bearing type fishing reel requiring a large braking force between a spool and a central shaft, a brake device having a large braking surface is stored in the water-tight side chamber. The water-tight side chamber is disposed opposite from another chamber storing the drive device for inputting handle rotation. Since the drive device and brake device are disposed separately from each other on either side of the spool, the weight of the reel is well balanced.
Claims14
A fishing reel comprising:
- a reel main body rotatably supporting a spool, and defining first and second side chambers located opposite from each other with respect to said spool;
- a central shaft passing through a substantially central portion of said spool and extending into both said first and second side chambers, said central shaft being axially movable and rotatably arranged with respect to said reel main body;
- drive means located within said first chamber for transmitting rotation from a handle to said central shaft;
- brake means located within said second chamber for coupling said central shaft to said spool through a frictional force, wherein said frictional force is adjusted by axial movement of said central shaft;
- and
- a hollow cylinder coaxially and relatively rotatably arranged with respect to said central shaft and extending through an annular space defined between said central shaft and said central portion of said spool, wherein said frictional force is adjusted by an axial movement of said hollow cylinder.
A fishing reel comprising:
- a reel main body rotatably supporting a spool;
- a central shaft passing through a substantially central portion of said spool and rotatably arranged with respect to said reel main body;
- drive means for transmitting rotation from a handle to said central shaft;
- a hollow cylinder coaxially and relatively rotatably arranged with respect to said central shaft and extending through an annular space defined between said central shaft and said central portion of said spool;
- brake means located within a water-tight chamber for coupling said central shaft to said spool through a frictional braking force, said water-tight chamber being defined by said reel main body and located adjacent said spool in an axial direction of said central shaft;
- and
- clutch means for selectively cutting off a transmission path of said frictional braking force between said central shaft and said spool, a magnitude of said frictional braking force being adjusted by an axial movement of said central shaft, wherein said clutch means is slidingly disposed on said hollow cylinder.
A fishing reel having a main body defining first and second chambers located opposite from each other with respect to a spool rotatably arranged with respect to said main body, said reel comprising:
- a central shaft passing through a central portion of said spool and rotatably arranged with respect to said main body;
- a hollow cylinder coaxially and relatively rotatably arranged with respect to said central shaft and extending through an annular space defined between said central shaft and said central portion of said spool;
- braking means located within said first chamber and having first and second braking members frictionally engageable with each other, wherein said first and second braking members are non-rotatably fitted onto said central shaft and said hollow cylinder, respectively;
- and
- shifting means including a slider non-rotatably and translatably fitted onto said hollow cylinder for selectively engaging and disengaging said hollow cylinder with or from said spool.
