Abstract
This invention relates to spring means used in fishing reels for exerting resilient pressure on an element when a force is applied on the spring means, said spring means comprising a pair of first and second washers movably mounted in coaxial relationship in the fishing reel, said first washer being a domed spring washer having convex and concave sides with the concave side facing said element, said second washer having a substantially smaller diameter than said first washer and being mounted in a position between said element and the concave side of the first washer for dividing the total spring plane of the latter into two coaxial portions, whereby, when said washers are being pressed by a force against each other and against said element, said first washer is subjected to resilient deformation substantially in the portion thereof extending outwardly of the outer circumferential edge of said first washer, whereupon said first washer, when said force exceeds a predetermined value, is subjected to resilient deformation substantially in the portion thereof extending inwardly of the outer circumferential edge of said second washer.
