Abstract
A fishing reel comprising a line spool which for winding up a fishing line is rotatable by means of a manually operable crank and disconnectable from a gear transmission by means of a disconnectable clutch and a clutch operating member. The reel also comprises a line spreading mechanism with an involute screw which is rotatable by means of the crank via the gear transmission for reciprocating a screw follower connected to reciprocate a line guide and which, when winding up the line, serves as a line spreading member for spreading the fishing line on the line spool. The line spreading member comprises a hub slidably mounted on a guiding sleeve. An involute screw is rotatably mounted in the sleeve and defines, together therewith, an annular space in which an annular support for the screw follower and for a driver dog is mounted. The annular support which encompasses the involute screw and is guided in sliding contact with the inner periphery of the sleeve, forms together with the screw follower and the driver dog a unit which is reciprocable within and encapsulated by the sleeve with the sole exception that a dog pin which is supported by the driver dog and disengageable by angular movement extends with an end portion through a longitudinal guiding slot in the wall of the sleeve for guiding the annular screw follower support.
