Abstract
This invention relates to a coupling mechanism with means for disengagement and automatic reengagement of the spool in a spinning reel. The coupling mechanism comprises mating coupling members, one of which forms a driven coupling member supported by the spool and the other forms a driving coupling member supported by a gear which is rotatable by a crank. According to the preferred embodiment, the spool of the reel is, together with its coupling member, rotatably journaled in the spinning reel independent of the unit which comprises the driving coupling member and guide means, and this unit is, in the disengagement position of the driving coupling member, supported completely free from contact in relation to the spool and to elements connected to the spool, with the driving coupling member axially directed for shifting to the engagement position.
