Abstract
This invention relates to a combined sliding clutch and slide signal mechanism in a transmission between a rotatable spool and a crank of a fishing reel, said sliding clutch and signal mechanism including a gear wheel connected so as to drive the spool, a disc fixed on a shaft driven by the crank and placed in spaced relationship to one side of said gear wheel, and a friction ring placed between annular surfaces of the two members constituted by said disc and said gear wheel, one of said members being adapted to be axially urged against said friction ring by controllable force exerted on the other member by adjusting means on the fishing reel to effect slidable coupling between said members via said friction ring, and a slide signal device constituted by cooperating slide signal producing means mounted in facing relationship on said members and adapted to produce slide signals when relative rotation occurs between said members and thus between said signal producing means, wherein said gear wheel, signal producing means and friction ring are arranged such that the friction ring is seated radially inwardly of the teeth of the gear wheel and radially outwardly of the circular path of said slide signal producing means on said members, thereby eliminating any tendency of said friction ring to interfere with the signal producing means.
