Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fishing reel drive gear is used for a fishing reel. The fishing reel drive gear is arranged to be meshed with a pinion gear. The fishing reel drive gear includes a gear tooth portion and a disc portion. The gear tooth portion has first and second gear teeth. The first gear tooth includes a first tooth surface. The second gear tooth includes a second tooth surface. The first tooth surface includes a first groove thereon. The second tooth surface includes a second groove thereon. The first and second grooves intersect with a mesh directional. The disc portion has an outer peripheral surface and a radially outer portion of a lateral face. The gear tooth portion is configured on the outer peripheral surface or the radially outer portion. The fishing reel drive gear is arranged to be meshed with the pinion gear in a direction of the mesh directional path.

First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A fishing reel drive gear for a fishing reel, the fishing reel drive gear being arranged to be meshed with a pinion gear, the fishing reel drive gear comprising: a gear tooth portion having first and second gear teeth, the first gear tooth including a first tooth surface, the second gear tooth including a second tooth surface, the first tooth surface including a first groove thereon, the second tooth surface including a second groove thereon, the first and second grooves intersecting with a mesh directional path; and a disc portion having an outer peripheral surface and a radially outer portion of a lateral face, the gear tooth portion being configured on the outer peripheral surface or the radially outer portion, the fishing reel drive gear being arranged to be meshed with the pinion gear in a direction of the mesh directional path. 2. The fishing reel drive gear according to claim 1 , wherein the first groove extends along a simultaneous mesh contact line being a line at which the first tooth surface is linearly in contact with the pinion gear. 3. The fishing reel drive gear according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second grooves are disposed at an interval in a direction of the mesh directional path. 4. The fishing reel drive gear according to claim 3 , wherein the gear tooth portion includes third to fifteenth grooves formed on the first tooth surface. 5. The fishing reel drive gear according to claim 1 , wherein the first gear teeth includes a face gear teeth formed on the radially outer portion of the lateral face of the disc portion. 6. The fishing reel drive gear according to claim 5 , wherein the first groove is curvedly formed on the first tooth surface. 7. The fishing reel drive gear according to claim 1 , wherein the first gear tooth is a spur tooth, a helical tooth, or a double helical tooth formed on the outer peripheral surface of the disc portion.
