A spinning reel for fishing comprises a reel body casing formed with a cam groove, a rotational frame mounted to the reel body casing to be rotatable about a rotational axis thereof, a spool shaft attached to the reel body casing so as to be movable in an axial direction parallel to the rotational direction of the rotational frame, a spool mounted to one end of the spool shaft, a handle lever coupled to the rotational frame to rotate the same, an oscillator mounted to the other end of the spool shaft, an oscillator gear supported by the reel body casing so as to be rotatable about a rotational shaft surrounded by the cam groove in accordance with an operation of the handle lever, and an interlock means provided with a first engaging member engaged with the cam groove and a second engaging member adapted to transfer a motion toward the oscillator. The interlock means is coupled to the oscillator gear and driven in association with the rotation of the oscillator gear such that the second engaging member is moved around the rotational shaft while carrying out a relative motion in a circumferential direction with respect to the oscillator gear.

Spinning fishing reel having a uniform longitudinal spool movement

A baitcasting reel comprises a spool which is rotatably supported between a pair of frame plates of a reel frame body or a pair of side plates respectively secured to the frame plates and is connected to a handle through a driving force transmission means, and a clutch mechanism provided in the driving force transmission means, for selectively keeping the spool in any one of a retrieving condition and a casting condition. Both ends of the spool are supported on the frame plates or the side plates through bearings, respectively. The driving force transmission means is connected with the end of the spool through the clutch mechanism.

Braking apparatus for a baitcasting reel

A release preventing device for a fishing reel provided with a one-way clutch that allows a rotating body, such as the spool of a double-bearing type fishing reel and the rotor of a spinning reel, to rotate in one direction but restricts rotation of that rotating body in the other direction. Rotation is restricted in the reverse direction, the direction in which fishing line is released, by a wedge effect, wherein roller members are wedged between an inner race and an outer race.
