Abstract
A fishing reel of the multiplier type has a frame with a first and a second side plate. A shaft extends through the frame and its ends are carried in support bearings on the side plates. A line spool is rotatably mounted on the shaft by a first and a second ball bearing and has a first and a second inner shoulder facing the first and the second side plate, respectively, the outer ring of the first and of the second ball bearing engaging the first and the second shoulder, respectively. A handle for rotating the line spool is mounted outside the first side plate. A retaining shoulder engages the inner ring of the first ball bearing to maintain its outer ring in engagement against the first shoulder. The second support bearing consists of a sleeve and a bearing body which is axially displaceable in the sleeve and has a bore in which one end of the line spool shaft is mounted. With one end, the bearing body engages the inner ring of the second ball bearing to maintain its outer ring in engagement against the second shoulder. A manually rotatable adjusting knob mounted on the sleeve outside the second side plate is adapted to displace the bearing body axially so as to urge it against the inner ring of the second ball bearing with adjustable force, thus adjusting the resistance to rotation of the line spool.
