A spinning reel with a handle shaft rotatably supported in a reel body. The handle shaft is connected with a handle. A master gear and a driving spiral gear are provided at separated positions on the handle shaft. The master gear is meshingly engaged with a pinion gear provided integrally with a rotor at the front of the reel body so that rotation of the handle rotates the rotor. A spool shaft fixed with a spool extends in a frontward/rearward direction of the reel body and is oscillatingly movably supported on the reel body. A traverse camshaft is rotatably supported by the reel body. The traverse camshaft is fixedly provided with a driven spiral gear and is formed with a cam groove. A slider member is fixed to the spool shaft and has a pawl engaged with the cam groove so that the slider member is driven to move along the length of the traverse camshaft by rotation of the traverse camshaft. At least one intermediate spiral gear is provided for transmitting rotation of the driving spiral gear to the driven spiral gear.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a spinning reel, and more particularly to a spool oscillating mechanism in the spinning reel.
2. Description of the Related Art
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from reading the following description of the embodiment taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a spinning reel according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II—II of FIG. 1;
Next, spinning reels according to embodiments of the present invention will be described while referring to the attached drawings.
A spinning reel according to a first embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1 to 2. The spinning reel according to the first embodiment includes a reel body 1, a rotor 4 and a spool 5 that are provided at the front of the reel body 1 and that are rotatably supported by the reel body 1, a drive mechanism, a rotor rotation mechanism, and a spool oscillating mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a handle 30, a shaft sleeve 2, and a handle shaft 6. The handle 30 is provided on the reel body 1 and is connected to the handle shaft 6. The handle shaft 6 passes through and is fixed to a shaft sleeve 2, so that the shaft sleeve 2 and the handle shaft 6 are driven to rotate integrally by rotation of the handle 30.
The rotor rotation mechanism transmits drive force from the drive mechanism to the rotor 4 and includes a master gear 7 and a pinion gear 8. The master gear 7 is formed on the shaft sleeve 2. The pinion gear 8 is formed with a smaller diameter that the diameter of the master gear 7, resulting in an acceleration transmission from the master gear 7 to the rotor 4.
