Abstract
A handle mounting structure in a fishing reel, which spreads open and deforms a collar by means of the taper action of a tapered engaging surface formed in the end portion of a handle shaft to thereby be sure to prevent the handle shaft from being loosened and clattered in the rotational direction thereof. The handle mounting structure includes: a drive shaft having a drive gear and a through-hole; a handle shaft to which a handle is fixed and which is non-rotatably fitted into the through-hole of the drive shaft; a tapered engaging surface formed on an end portion of the handle shaft; a collar deformable radially outwardly and fitted into the through-hole of the drive shaft so that one end of the collar is confronted with the tapered engaging surface; and a threaded member engageable with the handle shaft. The collar is pressed axially against the tapered engaging surface by the threaded member so that the collar is deformed and spread, whereby the collar is brought into pressure-contact with an inner surface of the through-hole of the drive shaft.
