Abstract

A fishing reel includes a reel body, a drive shaft, a handle, a first roller clutch, and a second roller clutch. The reel body includes a tubular body-side accommodating part. The handle includes a handle arm extending in a direction intersecting the drive shaft, and a tubular handle-side accommodating part disposed adjacent to the body-side accommodating part in the axial direction of the drive shaft and partially accommodating the drive shaft. The first roller clutch is disposed in the body-side accommodating part of the reel body and prohibits rotation of the drive shaft in a fishing line releasing direction. The second roller clutch is disposed in the handle-side accommodating part and transmits only rotation of the handle in a fishing line winding direction to the drive shaft.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fishing reel comprising:
a reel body including a tubular body-side accommodating part;
a drive shaft disposed partially in the body-side accommodating part;
a handle that includes a handle arm extending in a direction intersecting with the drive shaft, and a tubular handle-side accommodating part configured to partially accommodate the drive shaft and disposed adjacent to the body-side accommodating part in an axial direction of the drive shaft;
a first roller clutch disposed in the body-side accommodating part and configured to prohibit rotation of the drive shaft in a fishing line releasing direction; and
a second roller clutch disposed in the handle-side accommodating part and configured to transmit only rotation of the handle in a fishing line winding direction to the drive shaft.

2. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , further comprising
a first sealing mechanism configured to seal a gap between the body-side accommodating part and the handle-side accommodating part in the axial direction.

3. The fishing reel according to claim 2 , wherein
the first sealing mechanism includes a first annular convex portion protruding in the axial direction,
the first annular convex portion disposed on one of the body-side accommodating part and the handle-side accommodating part, and overlapping at least partially with the other of the body-side accommodating part and the handle-side accommodating part in the direction in which the handle arm extends.

4. The fishing reel according to claim 3 , wherein
the first sealing mechanism further includes a first annular concave portion configured to accommodate a tip of the first annular convex portion,
the first annular concave portion disposed on the other of the body-side accommodating part and the handle-side accommodating part.

5. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , further comprising
a cover member integrally and rotatably attached to one end of the drive shaft and disposed to face the handle-side accommodating part in the axial direction, and
a second sealing mechanism configured to seal a gap between the handle-side accommodating part and the cover member in the axial direction.

6. The fishing reel according to claim 5 , wherein
the second sealing mechanism includes a second annular convex portion protruding in the axial direction and a second annular concave portion configured to accommodate a tip of the second annular convex portion,
the second annular convex portion disposed on one of the handle-side accommodating part and the cover member,
the second annular concave portion disposed on the other of the handle-side accommodating part and the cover member.

7. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , further comprising
a bearing disposed in the handle-side accommodating part and configured to support the drive shaft and the handle.

8. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
the first roller clutch includes a first outer ring, and a first rolling element disposed between the first outer ring and the drive shaft, and
the first outer ring is non-rotatably attached to the body-side accommodating part.

9. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
the second roller clutch includes a second outer ring, and a second rolling element disposed between the second outer ring and the drive shaft, and
the second outer ring is non-rotatably attached to the handle-side accommodating part.
