Abstract
An improved anti-reverse slide switch for a fishing reel is disclosed. The fishing reel includes a rotor, a spool, reel housing, anti-reverse pawl, and anti-reverse gear. The mechanism includes a slide button and a leaf spring. The slide button comprises an exterior control knob, an internal frame portion, an operation arm adapted to actuate the anti-reverse pawl, and a neck portion. The operation arm extends from one side of the internal frame portion, and the neck connects the exterior control knob and the internal frame portion. The neck slidingly engages an opening formed in the reel casing. The leaf spring includes a main body formed with a recessed portion, a projection and a holding means. The projection is positioned at the main body and is engageable and disengageable with respect to a protrusion formed at an inner surface of the reel casing. The recessed portion is fitted with the neck portion, and the holding means has a U-shape portion extending from one side of the main body. The holding means holds the lower end portion of the slide button.
