Abstract:
A fishing spinning reel having reverse-rotation-preventing mechanism comprising a plastic spring press-fitted on a master gear shaft and having a protrusion extending radially therefrom to engage a recess formed in a reverse-rotation-preventing pawl pivotally mounted on the reel body, so that the pawl engages a ratchet formed on a rotor-supporting cylindrical shaft when the handle is turned in the reverse direction and disengages from the ratchet when the handle is turned in the forward direction.
Abstract:
A method for forming an as-cast hole by using a core involves forming an undercut and casting by using a core die which is slidable at an angle with respect to mold closing and opening directions. At the same time, an as-cast hole with an axial direction different from the slide direction of the core die is formed. To form the as-cast hole, a floating core is slidably disposed in the core die for movement in the axial direction of the as-cast hole. An apparatus for practicing the method includes a stationary die, a movable die and the core die containing the slidable floating core.
Abstract:
A fishing reel includes a drag adjustment mechanism comprising a plurality of drag washers in the form of friction plates mounted on a master gear shaft. The drag washers are urged into contact with a master gear that is selectively connectable to a spool shaft so that the master gear can rotate together with the master gear shaft and can slip relative thereto. A drag adjustment member is mounted on the master gear shaft and is operable to move the master gear shaft to urge the drag washers toward the master gear by pushing a ball bearing and a drag spring washer to thereby cause a drag adjustment. A drag preset member is mounted on the master gear shaft and is moveable along the master gear shaft to urge the drag washers toward the master gear by pushing the drag adjustment member, the ball bearing and the drag spring washer to thereby cause a drag adjustment.
Abstract:
A bail of light weight construction for a spinning reel, including a metal tube having an internal opening extending therethrough and being partially or entirely filled with a synthetic resin.
Abstract:
The spinning reel of the present invention pertains to a sliding mechanism which allows for the reduction in size and weight of the reel and an increase in the reciprocation stroke of the spool without a decrease in the winding force of the reel on the turning force of the rotor. That is, the sliding pin of the invention is located closer to the master gear than the conventional sliding mechanism.
