Abstract
In a reel with a spool a hood and an axially aligned and substantially cup-shaped rotor partially encircling the spool, a molded monocoque frame rotor design in which the monocoque frame is molded to include various features of the rotor and in which the leading and trailing edges of the rotor are of a material substantially different from the monocoque frame.
Claims14
In a fishing reel with a spool, a hood and an axially aligned and substantially cup-shaped rotor encircling the spool, said rotor carrying at least one retractable pickup pin for engaging line and comprising a monocoque frame rotor design in which the monocoque frame is molded to integrally include a snubbing ring, a circumferential leading edge and a circumferential trailing edge with either one or both the leading edge or trailing edges of a material different from the rotor monocoque frame.
In a spincasting reel with a spool, a hood and an axially aligned and substantially cup-shaped rotor encircling the spool, said rotor carrying at least one retractable pickup pin for engaging line and comprising a monocoque frame rotor design including a circumferential leading edge and a circumferential trailing edge in which one or both the leading edge or trailing edge of the rotor is material of a different nature than that of the monocoque frame.
In a spincasting reel with a spool and hood and an axially aligned and substantially cup-shaped rotor encircling the spool, a monocoque frame rotor design including a circumferential leading edge and a circumferential trailing edge and carrying at least one retractable pickup pin for engaging line said rotor having one or more integrally formed shapes for attaching or aligning parts thereto and with at least one of the rotor leading edge or trailing edge comprised of material substantially different from the rotor frame.
