Abstract

A dragging device restricting one-way rotation of a spool of a fly reel. In a rotation-restricting device of a spool having a dragging device which allows the spool to be attached to and detached from a shaft secured to a housing and which restricts one-way rotation of the spool, a sleeve is fitted on the shaft, a flange extends in the radial direction from one end of the sleeve, a flange cover is secured to the housing in the spool-attached direction, the flange makes contact between the flange cover and the housing, and a disk plate makes contact with the flange, whereby pressure applied due to rotation of a drag-adjusting knob mounted on the housing is transferred to the disk plate to restrict one-way rotation of the spool. A waterproof structure on the friction surface of the disk plate prevents infiltration of water.

Claims3

Dependent claims

A rotation-restricting device of a spool of a fly reel having a dragging device which can allow the spool to be attached to and detached from a shaft secured to a housing and which can restrict one-way rotation of the spool,

wherein a sleeve is mounted on the shaft secured to the housing, a flange extends in the radial direction from one end of the sleeve, a flange cover which serves to retain the flange so as not to be pushed in the axial direction is secured to the housing in a spool-attached direction, the flange makes contact between the flange cover and the housing, and a disk plate makes contact with the flange, whereby the pressure applied due to the rotation of a drag-adjusting knob mounted on an outside of the housing is transferred to the disk plate to be able to increase the friction forces between the flange and the disk plate, and between the flange and the flange cover, so as to restrict the one-way rotation of the spool.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
