Abstract

The present dual-bearing reel includes a first reel body, a second reel body, a first bearing member, a second bearing member, a spool, a spool shaft and a first urging member. The first bearing member is attached to the first reel body. The second bearing member is attached to the second reel body. The spool shall has a first protruding part. The first protruding part radially protrudes between the first bearing member and the second bearing member. The spool shaft is supported by the first and second bearing members. The urging member urges the first protruding part and the first bearing member in opposite directions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dual-bearing reel, comprising:
a first reel body;
a second reel body;
a first bearing member attached to the first reel body;
a second bearing member attached to the second reel body;
a spool disposed between the first reel body and the second reel body;
a spool shaft including a first protruding part and being supported by the first and second bearing members, the first protruding part radially protruding between the first bearing member and the second bearing member; and
a first urging member disposed between the first protruding part and the first bearing member and urging the first protruding part and the first bearing member in opposite directions.

2. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
the first bearing member includes an inner race, an outer race and a plurality of rolling elements, and
the first urging member urges the inner race of the first bearing member.

3. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 2 , wherein
the spool shaft includes a second protruding part radially protruding between the second bearing member and the first protruding part, and
the second protruding part contacts the second bearing member.

4. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a cylindrical member attached to an outer peripheral side of the spool shaft,
the spool shaft including a third protruding part radially protruding on an axially outer side of the first bearing member, and
the cylindrical member being disposed between the first bearing member and the third protruding part.

5. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein
the first protruding part is integrally formed with the spool shaft.

6. A dual-bearing reel comprising:
a first reel body;
a second reel body;
a first bearing member attached to the first reel body;
a second bearing member attached to the second reel body;
a spool disposed between the first reel body and the second reel body;
a spool shaft including a first protruding part and being supported by the first and second bearing members, the first protruding part radially protruding between the first bearing member and the second bearing member; and
a first urging member disposed between the first protruding part and the first bearing member and urging the first protruding part and the first bearing member in opposite directions,
the spool shaft including a second protruding part radially protruding between the second bearing member and the first protruding part, and
the second protruding part contacting the second bearing member.

7. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 6 , further comprising:
a second urging member urging the second bearing member toward the second protruding part.

8. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 7 , wherein
the second bearing member includes an inner race, an outer race and a plurality of rolling elements,
the second protruding part contacts the inner race of the second bearing member, and
the second urging member urges the outer race of the second bearing member.

9. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a cylindrical member attached to an outer peripheral side of the spool shaft,
the spool shaft including a third protruding part radially protruding on an axially outer side of the first bearing member, and
the cylindrical member being disposed between the first bearing member and the third protruding part.

10. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a cylindrical member attached to an outer peripheral side of the spool shaft,
the spool shaft including a third protruding part radially protruding on an axially outer side of the first bearing member, and
the cylindrical member being disposed between the first bearing member and the third protruding part.

11. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 6 , further comprising:
a cylindrical member attached to an outer peripheral side of the spool shaft,
the spool shaft including a third protruding part radially protruding on an axially outer side of the first bearing member, and
the cylindrical member being disposed between the first bearing member and the third protruding part.

12. A dual-bearing reel comprising:
a first reel body;
a second reel body;
a first bearing member attached to the first reel body;
a second bearing member attached to the second reel body;
a spool disposed between the first reel body and the second reel body;
a spool shaft including a first protruding part and being supported by the first and second bearing members, the first protruding part radially protruding between the first bearing member and the second bearing member;
a first urging member disposed between the first protruding part and the first bearing member and urging the first protruding part and the first bearing member in opposite directions; and
a cylindrical member attached to an outer peripheral side of the spool shaft,
the spool shaft including a third protruding part radially protruding on an axially outer side of the first bearing member, and
the cylindrical member being disposed between the first bearing member and the third protruding part.
