| 242305000 | With unwinding indicator (e.g., bell or flashing light) | 6 |
| 20100170977 | METHOD AND DEVICE TO CONTROL CERTAIN FUNCTIONING OF A MULTIPLIER/BAIT CASTING REEL - A method and a device for computer-aided regulation of rotational speed of a reel spool, when paying out (and reeling in) an on-wound line. According to a main aspect of the invention, the line surface is surveyed by digital imaging and/or electronic distance measuring means; and incidents of line rising from the spool are captured and reported to an on-board computer which, proportionally to such input, orders variable engaging/releasing of braking force to the brake(s) of the reel to avert backlash. Certain other (side-)functions are also disclosed. | 07-08-2010 |
| 242306000 | Clicking indicator (e.g., flexible pawl and toothed member) | 2 |
| 20100006689 | SOUND GENERATING DEVICE FOR DUAL-BEARING REEL - A lever sound generating device is constructed to generate a sound in response to rotation of a drag adjusting lever mounted to an outer peripheral surface of a boss formed on a reel unit of a dual-bearing reel. The sound generating device comprises a sound generating member and a striker mechanism. The sound generating member includes a truncated cone-shaped member with an undulated surface. The sound generating member is mounted to the boss and restricted from rotating and moving in an axially inward direction. The striker mechanism is mounted to the drag adjusting lever and arranged to repeatedly contact the undulated surface when the drag adjusting lever is rotated about the spool shaft. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20110215183 | FISHING REEL WITH CLICKING SOUND GENERATING MEANS - Disclosed herein is a fishing reel. The reel includes a central shaft, a drive gear coupled to the central shaft, a spool connected to the drive gear and winding a fishing line thereon, a drive washer mounted to the central shaft to interlock with the central shaft, an auxiliary washer mounted to the central shaft and having a projection to interlock with the drive gear, and a clicking sound generating means. The clicking sound generating means includes a click member operated in conjunction with the central shaft or the drive gear and having a spring contact part, and a click spring operated in conjunction with the drive gear or the central shaft and having a protruding part coming into contact with the spring contact part, and an elastic part integrated with the protruding part to put the protruding part in contact with the spring contact part. | 09-08-2011 |
| 242307000 | Spring biased pawl | 3 |
| 20110011968 | DUAL-BEARING REEL SOUND PRODUCING DEVICE - The spool sound producing mechanism includes a collar member, an operation member, a convexo-concave member, a sound producing member and urging members. The collar member has first and second overlapping apertures. The operation member has a shaft portion that is movably attached and positioned in either the aperture. The convexo-concave member is configured to rotate with a spool. The sound producing member is attached to the shaft portion and allows a tip of the sound producing member to be disposed between or separated from convexes of the convexo-concave member. The urging members are configured to urge the sound producing member to direct the tip of the sound producing member towards the plurality of convexes of the convexo-concave member. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110180647 | DUAL-BEARING REEL DRAG SOUND PRODUCING DEVICE - A reel drag sound producing device is provided for producing sound in conjunction with a drag function of a dual-bearing reel having a reel unit with a main gear. The drag sound producing device includes a rotation member being disposed in the reel unit to be rotated unitarily with the main gear, a pivot shaft being disposed in the reel unit, a hitting member being disposed onto the pivot shaft and to be moved between a silent position and a sound producing position, a drive mechanism being configured to move the hitting member in a first direction between the sound producing position and the silent position in conjunction with rotation of the main gear in a fishing-line winding direction and moved in a radial direction for a predetermined distance, and an urging member being configured to urge the hitting member towards the sound producing position. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20120018562 | Dual-Bearing Reel Drag Sound Producing Device - The dual-bearing reel drag sound producing device includes a rotation member, a pivot shaft, a hitting member, a drive mechanism, and an urging member. The rotation member is disposed adjacent to the side cover to rotate unitarily with a main gear, and includes a plurality of sound producing convexes on an outer peripheral surface thereof. The hitting member is attached on the pivot shaft to move radially at a predetermined distance from the pivot shaft and configured to pivot between a silent position and a sound producing position. The drive mechanism is configured to cause the hitting member to pivot from the silent position to the sound producing position and further to a position being opposite to the silent position across the sound producing position, in conjunction with rotation of the main gear. The urging member is configured to urge the hitting member towards the sound producing position. | 01-26-2012 |
