Abstract

A dual-bearing reel includes a spool, a spool shaft, a spool supporting portion, a reel body, a rotating member, and a retaining member. The spool supporting portion is configured to support an end side of the spool shaft. The rotating member is disposed between the reel body and the spool supporting portion. The rotating member is rotatably arranged with respect to the spool supporting portion to detachably attach the spool supporting portion to the reel body. The retaining member is disposed between the spool supporting portion and the spool axis. The retaining member is configured to engage the spool supporting portion and the rotating member and prevent the rotating member from detaching from the spool supporting portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dual bearing reel, comprising:
a spool around which a fishing line is capable of being wound;
a spool shaft disposed at a rotational center of the spool;
a spool supporting portion configured to support an end side of the spool shaft;
a body portion onto which the spool supporting portion is detachably mounted;
a rotating member disposed between the body portion and the spool supporting portion and rotatably arranged with respect to the spool supporting portion so as to detachably mount the spool supporting portion to the body portion; and
a retaining member disposed between the spool supporting portion and the rotational center, configured to engage the spool supporting portion and the rotating member, and prevent the rotating member from detaching from the spool supporting portion.

2. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
the spool supporting portion is disposed between the rotational center and the rotating member in a radial direction.

3. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
the spool supporting portion has a hole portion that extends in the radial direction from the rotational center toward the rotating member, and
the retaining member has a mounting portion attached to the spool supporting portion between the spool supporting portion and the rotational center in the radial direction, and a restricting portion extending from the mounting portion toward the rotating member and is configured to restrict axial movement of the rotating member by engaging the rotating member via the hole portion.

4. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 3 , wherein
the restricting portion engages the rotating member via the hole portion.

5. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 3 , wherein
the rotating member has an engagement portion disposed between the restricting portion and the spool in the axial direction, and with which the restricting portion is configured to engage.

6. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 3 , wherein
the spool supporting portion has a tubular portion that is formed in essentially an tubular shape, and
the mounting portion is disposed on an inner circumferential portion of the tubular portion.

7. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 6 , wherein
the restricting portion is disposed in the hole portion by elastically deforming the retaining member.

8. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 7 , wherein
the tubular portion has a guide groove for guiding the restricting portion to the hole portion.

9. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 5 , wherein
the engagement portion is a wall portion formed in essentially an annular shape.

10. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 9 , wherein
the engagement portion is an annular groove that includes the wall portion, and
the restricting portion is disposed in the annular groove.

11. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 4 , wherein
the mounting portion is positioned on the spool supporting portion by a fixing member.
