Abstract

A dual-bearing reel includes a spool, a spool shaft, a spool supporting portion, a reel body, and a rotating member. The rotating member is disposed to be capable of rotating between a first position in which the spool supporting portion can be removed from the reel body and a second position in which the spool supporting portion cannot be removed from the reel body. In the first position the radially outside portion of the rotating member is disposed spaced apart from the reel body in at least one of a radial direction and an axial direction. In the second position the radially outside portion is disposed on the inside of the outer surface of the body portion in the radial direction, when viewing the rotating member from the outside in the axial direction.

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 one end of the spool shaft;
a body portion on which the spool supporting portion is detachably mounted, and
a rotating member configured to connect the spool supporting portion to the body portion, and rotate between a first position in which the spool supporting portion is capable of being removed from the body portion and a second position in which the spool supporting portion is not capable of being removed from the body portion, a rotational center of the rotating member being coaxial with the rotational center of the spool,
when in the first position, a radially outside portion of the rotating member is spaced from the body portion in at least one of a first radial direction away from the rotational center of the spool, and a first axial direction along the rotational center of the spool, and
when in the second position, the radially outside portion is disposed on an inside of an outer surface of the body portion in the first radial direction, when viewing the rotating member from an outside in the first axial direction.

2. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
when the rotating member is in the first position, the radially outside portion is operable due to being spaced from the body portion such that the spool supporting portion is removable from the body portion, and
when the rotating member is in the second position, the radially outside portion is disposed such that the body portion can be gripped.

3. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
when in the first position the rotating member is movable relative to the reel body in the first axial direction away from spool, and
when in the second position the rotating member is immovable relative to the reel body in the first axial direction.

4. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
the body portion has an opening for disposing the rotating member, and
the radially outside portion is disposed on an outside of the opening.

5. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
the radially outside portion has an opposing portion opposing the body portion in a second axial direction along the rotational center, when the rotating member is in the first position, and
an outer peripheral portion of the opposing portion is spaced from the body portion in the second axial direction.

6. 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 one end of the spool shaft;
a body portion on which the spool supporting portion is detachably mounted; and
a rotating member configured to connect the spool supporting portion to the body portion, and rotate between a first position in which the spool supporting portion is capable of being removed from the body portion and a second position in which the spool supporting portion is not capable of being removed from the body portion,
when in the first position, a radially outside portion of the rotating member is spaced from the body portion in at least one of a first radial direction away from the rotational center, and a first axial direction along the rotational center, and
when in the second position, the radially outside portion is disposed on an inside of an outer surface of the body portion in the first radial direction, when viewing the rotating member from an outside in the first axial direction,
the radially outside portion having a projecting portion that protrudes farther outside than the body portion in a second radial direction away from the rotational center when the rotating member is in the first position, and
a distal end portion of the projecting portion being spaced from the body portion in the second radial direction.

7. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 6 , wherein
a gap is disposed between the projecting portion and the outer surface of the body portion.

8. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 6 , wherein
the body portion has a stepped portion opposing the projecting portion in the first axial direction, when the rotating member is in the second position.

9. 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 one end of the spool shaft;
a body portion on which the spool supporting portion is detachably mounted; and
a rotating member configured to connect the spool supporting portion to the body portion, and rotate between a first position in which the spool supporting portion is capable of being removed from the body portion and a second position in which the spool supporting portion is not capable of being removed from the body portion,
when in the first position, a radially outside portion of the rotating member is spaced from the body portion in at least one of a first radial direction away from the rotational center, and a first axial direction along the rotational center; and
when in the second position, the radially outside portion is disposed on an inside of an outer surface of the body portion in the first radial direction, when viewing the rotating member from an outside in the first axial direction,
the radially outside portion having a projecting portion that protrudes farther outside than the body portion in a second radial direction away from the rotational center when the rotating member is in the first position, and an opposing portion opposing the body portion in a second axial direction along the rotational center when the rotating member is in the first position,
a distal end portion of the projecting portion being spaced from the body portion in the second radial direction, and
an outer peripheral portion of the opposing portion being spaced from the body portion in the second axial direction.
