A support structure for a fishing reel includes a first portion, a second portion, a first shaft bearing and a second shaft bearing arranged side by side in the axial direction along an axis between the outer circumferential surface of the first portion and the inner circumferential surface of the second portion, a spacer disposed between an inner race of the first shaft bearing and an inner race of the second shaft bearing, and a regulating member configured to restrict movement an outer race of the first shaft bearing or an outer race of the second shaft bearing, in a direction in which one of the outer race of the first shaft bearing or the outer race of the second shaft bearing is separated from the other of the outer race of the first shaft bearing or the outer race of the second shaft bearing.

Support structure for fishing reel

A dual-bearing reel configured to feed a fishing line forward is disclosed. The dual-bearing reel includes a reel body and a handle. The reel body has a first side plate, a second side plate, and a connecting portion. The first side plate includes a circular portion having a circular shape, and a bulging portion bulging forward and downward from the circular portion. The second side plate is circular and disposed apart from the first side plate. The connecting portion connects the first side plate and the second side plate. The handle is rotatably mounted on the first side plate. A first central axis of the circular portion of the first side plate is offset forward and downward from a second central axis of the second side plate.

Dual-bearing reel

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool shaft, a rolling bearing, and an elastic element. The spool shaft is rotatable with respect to the reel body. The rolling bearing has an outer diameter of 8 mm or less and supports the spool shaft. The rolling bearing includes an outer ring having a holding groove in an outer peripheral surface thereof, an inner ring connected to the spool shaft so as to be integrally rotatable, and a rolling element disposed between the outer ring and the inner ring. The elastic element has an annular shape and is held in the holding groove. The holding groove is located in a position that does not overlap with the rolling element in a radial direction of the spool shaft. The outer ring has a minimum thickness that is 10% or more of the outer diameter of the rolling bearing.

A dual-bearing reel includes a frame, a clutch yoke and a guide member. The guide member guides the clutch yoke in an axial direction. The guide member includes a metal body attached to the frame, metal shaft members extending from the body and resin cover portions that cover the shaft members and are inserted into through holes in the clutch yoke.

A fishing reel includes a reel body, a drive shaft, a handle, a one-way clutch, and a seal mechanism. The drive shaft is rotatably supported by the reel body. The handle includes a handle arm extending in a direction intersecting the drive shaft, and a handle-side accommodating part in which the drive shaft is partially accommodated. The one-way clutch is disposed in the handle-side accommodating part and transmits only rotation of the handle in the fishing line winding direction to the drive shaft. The seal mechanism prevents water from entering the handle-side accommodating part from the outside.

A fishing reel includes a reel body, a drive shaft, a handle, a first roller clutch, and a second roller clutch. The reel body includes a tubular body-side accommodating part. The handle includes a handle arm extending in a direction intersecting the drive shaft, and a tubular handle-side accommodating part disposed adjacent to the body-side accommodating part in the axial direction of the drive shaft and partially accommodating the drive shaft. The first roller clutch is disposed in the body-side accommodating part of the reel body and prohibits rotation of the drive shaft in a fishing line releasing direction. The second roller clutch is disposed in the handle-side accommodating part and transmits only rotation of the handle in a fishing line winding direction to the drive shaft.

A handle return position adjustment mechanism for a fishing reel including a handle disposed on the fishing reel and supported by a handle shaft is disclosed. The handle return position adjustment mechanism includes a position adjustment member detachably and non-rotatably fitted to the handle shaft and having a first rotation engagement portion, and a second rotation engagement portion disposed on the handle to be engageable with the first rotation engagement portion. At least one of the first rotation engagement portion and the second rotation engagement portion includes a plurality of portions which are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction circling around the handle shaft. The second rotation engagement portion is selectively engaged in a relative position in the circumferential direction with respect to the first rotation engagement portion.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a cover member and a casting control mechanism. The cover member is disposed to cover the reel body from a first side plate side, and includes a cover part, a bulging part and a first boss part. The cover part is located outside a first side plate of a reel body of the dual-bearing reel in an axial direction. The bulging part bulges outward from the cover part in the axial direction. The first boss part has a shape protruding outward from the bulging part in the axial direction, and causes a spool shaft to be inserted therethrough. The casting control mechanism includes an operating member that is attached to the first boss part so as to be movable in the axial direction and protrudes at part of an outer periphery thereof from the bulging part as seen in the axial direction.

A dual-bearing reel capable of reeling in and reeling out a fishing line includes a reel body, a spool, a spool shaft, an operating member, and an oscillating mechanism. The spool is rotatably supported by the reel body. The spool shaft supports the spool. The operating member is movably provided on the reel body and moves to perform an adjustment operation on a braking force that acts on the spool. The oscillating mechanism causes the fishing line to oscillate in the axial direction in synchronization with a rotation of the spool.

A fishing reel waterproof structure prevents water intrusion into a bearing member that supports an end of a handle shaft to make the end of the handle shaft rotatable respective to a reel body. The fishing reel waterproof structure includes a flange part, a fixation plate, a seal member and a water stop part. The flange part is on the handle shaft in a vicinity of the end of the handle shaft. The fixation plate restricts axial movement of the bearing member. The fixation plate has an annular shape and is fixed to the reel body. An inner peripheral part of the fixation plate is disposed between the flange part and the bearing member to contact a lateral surface of the bearing member. The seal member seals between the reel body and the fixation plate. The water stop part prevents water intrusion between the flange part and the fixation plate.
