Spinning reel having an anti-reverse mechanism

A spinning reel comprising:

• a reel body;
• a rotor provided on said reel body, said rotor including a sleeve shaft rotatable with said rotor and a cylindrical portion surrounding said sleeve shaft;
• an anti-reverse mechanism for preventing said rotor from rotating in a line unwinding direction, said anti-reverse mechanism including:
• engaging teeth defined on an inner surface of the cylindrical portion of said rotor along its inner periphery;
• an engaging pawl supported on said reel body, said pawl being displaceable between an operative position engageable with said engaging teeth and an inoperative position disengaged from said engaging teeth;
• a brake mechanism for applying a braking force to said rotor in a line unwinding direction, said brake mechanism including a one-way clutch mechanism mounted on said sleeve shaft;
• a selector mechanism switchable between a first mode and a second mode, said selector mechanism when in said first mode placing said engaging pawl in said operative position and operating said brake mechanism to apply a braking force to rotation of said rotor, said selector mechanism when in said second mode placing said engaging pawl in said inoperative position and operating said brake mechanism to remove said braking force from being applied to the rotation of said rotor.

• a brake mechanism for applying a braking force to said rotor in a line unwinding direction, said brake mechanism including a one-way clutch mechanism mounted on said sleeve shaft;
• a selector mechanism for displacing said engaging pawl and operating said braking mechanism, said selector mechanism including a cam member switchable between a first mode and a second mode;
• wherein said cam member places said engaging pawl in said operative position and simultaneously operates said braking mechanism to apply a braking force in said first mode;
• and
• wherein said cam member places said engaging pawl in said inoperative position and simultaneously operates said braking mechanism to remove said braking force in said second mode.

• and
• wherein said brake mechanism further includes an arm having a frictional retaining portion for applying a frictional braking force to said outer race, and a biasing means for pressing said frictional retaining portion to said outer race.
