Abstract

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool, a spool shaft, a one-way clutch, and an operating lever. The spool is rotatable relative to the reel body. The spool shaft is configured to integrally rotate with the spool. The one-way clutch comprises an outer ring that is rotatable relative to the reel body and a rolling body configured to transmit rotation of the spool shaft in the casting direction to the outer ring, the one-way clutch being attached to the spool shaft. The operating lever is attached to the reel body, extends in a radial direction, and is configured to adjust a braking force that brakes rotation of the outer ring.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dual-bearing reel, comprising:
a reel body;
a spool rotatable relative to the reel body;
a spool shaft configured to integrally rotate with the spool;
a one-way clutch comprising an outer ring rotatable relative to the reel body and a rolling body configured to transmit rotation of the spool shaft in the casting direction to the outer ring, the one-way clutch being attached to the spool shaft; and
an operating lever attached to the reel body so as to extend in a radial direction, and configured to adjust a braking force that brakes rotation of the outer ring.

2. The dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , wherein
the operating lever is pivotably attached to the reel body, and
the operating lever is configured to adjust the braking force by pivoting.

3. The dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , wherein
the operating lever is attached to the reel body and configured to press the outer ring in an axial direction.

4. The dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , further comprising
a friction plate disposed between the outer ring and the operating lever.

5. The dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , further comprising
a biasing member configured to bias the outer ring toward the operating lever.

6. The dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , wherein
the operating lever is attached to the reel body, and comprises
a cylindrical portion that is movable in an axial direction by rotation, and
a lever portion extending from the cylindrical portion in the radial direction.

7. The dual-bearing reel recited in claim 6 , wherein
the lever portion is configured to be detached from the cylindrical portion, and positionally adjusted in a circumferential direction relative to the cylindrical portion.

8. The dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , wherein
the rolling body is disposed between the spool shaft and the outer ring.

9. The dual-bearing reel recited in claim 1 , wherein
the one-way clutch further comprises
an inner ring attached to the spool shaft, and
the rolling body being disposed between the spool shaft and the outer ring.
