Abstract

I provide a braking device attachable to a body frame having one bearing member that pivotally supports a spool and an operation means for rotating the spool, including another bearing member that pivotally supports the spool; a spool brake; a control board that controls the braking force of the spool brake; a battery that supplies power to the control board; and a cover member that covers the battery and the board.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A braking device replaceably attachable to a body frame of a fishing reel, the body frame having a first bearing member that pivotally supports a spool and an operation unit for rotating the spool, the braking device comprising:
a second bearing member that is arranged to pivotally support the spool;
a spool brake;
a control board configured to control a braking force of the spool brake;
a battery configured to supply power to the control board; and
a cover member that covers the battery and the board.

2. The braking device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery is disposed between the board and the second bearing member.

3. The braking device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery is a secondary battery that can be charged from an external power source, and is provided with a charging terminal of the battery.

4. The braking device according to claim 1 , wherein the board has a display configured to display a set value of the braking device.

5. The braking device according to claim 1 , wherein the board has an input unit configured to input a set value of the braking device.

6. The braking device according to claim 1 , wherein the board has a communication unit and is configured to transmit rotation information of the spool to outside.

7. The braking device according to claim 1 , wherein the board has a communication unit and is configured to receive configuration information of the braking device.

8. The braking device according to claim 1 , wherein the braking device is provided with a magnetic field generating unit configured to penetrate a conductor provided on the spool, and a magnetic field adjusting unit configured to adjust a magnetic field of the magnetic field generating unit.

9. The braking device according to claim 1 , wherein the braking device is provided with a coil facing a magnet provided on the spool.

10. A fishing reel comprising the braking device according to claim 1 .
