Abstract
Abstract A compact spinning reel having a spool and winding drum is disclosed wherein a brake mechanism for preventing undersired rotation of the winding drum during a casting operation is disposed within a housing provided in the winding drum. The brake mechanism comprises a toothed braking member cooperative with a pivotally mounted lever to effectively lock the winding drum against rotation during a casting operation by the user. A line pickup is mounted on the winding drum for movement to a line retrieval position and a line casting position and functions to actuate the brake mechanism when in the latter position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
250 words
Spinning reel comprising: a casing; a drum and a spool mounted on said casing, said spool having a flange dimensioned to surround said drum upon axial movement thereof; means for rotating said drum and axially reciprocating said spool; a line pickup movable to a line retrieving position and a line casting position; spring means for urging said pick up into said line retrieving position; an anti-inertia brake mechanism cooperative with said drum to lock said pickup in said line casting position said brake comprising a rotatable hollow shaft in said drum, a toothed ring mounted on said shaft coaxially with said drum, a lever pivotally mounted on said drum engageable with said toothed ring to effect locking of said pickup, biasing means for urging said lever toward said ring, said ring further having an inclined portion operative to disengage said lever from said toothed ring when said drum reaches a predetermined angular position, cam means for pivoting said lever when said line pickup is moved from said line casting position to said line retrieval position, one end of said pickup having therein means defining a recess for receiving an end of said lever when said line pickup is in said line casting position; whereby movement of said drum when said lever is in engagement with said toothed ring effects disengagement of said lever in response to same contacting said inclined portion and wherein such movement is sufficient to disengage said lever from said recess and accordingly free said line pickup.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
250 words
Spinning reel comprising: a casing; a drum and a spool mounted on said casing, said spool having a flange dimensioned to surround said drum upon axial movement thereof; means for rotating said drum and axially reciprocating said spool; a line pickup movable to a line retrieving position and a line casting position; spring means for urging said pick up into said line retrieving position; an anti-inertia brake mechanism cooperative with said drum to lock said pickup in said line casting position said brake comprising a rotatable hollow shaft in said drum, a toothed ring mounted on said shaft coaxially with said drum, a lever pivotally mounted on said drum engageable with said toothed ring to effect locking of said pickup, biasing means for urging said lever toward said ring, said ring further having an inclined portion operative to disengage said lever from said toothed ring when said drum reaches a predetermined angular position, cam means for pivoting said lever when said line pickup is moved from said line casting position to said line retrieval position, one end of said pickup having therein means defining a recess for receiving an end of said lever when said line pickup is in said line casting position; whereby movement of said drum when said lever is in engagement with said toothed ring effects disengagement of said lever in response to same contacting said inclined portion and wherein such movement is sufficient to disengage said lever from said recess and accordingly free said line pickup.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
Reel according to claim 1, wherein said means for rotating said drum is housed in a casing having a cylindrical flange and said toothed ring is mounted thereon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
Reel according to claim 2, including a spring means positioned between said cylindrical flange and said ring for frictionally bearing upon said ring.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
182 words
A compact spinning reel assembly comprising: means defining a spinning reel casing; a winding drum rotatably mounted on said casing having means therein defining a brake-retaining housing; a spool mounted on said casing for reciprocal movement relative to said winding drum and having a depending rim configured to enclose said winding drum when said spool is reciprocated to one end position; means for effecting rotation of said drum and reciprocation of said spool; a movable line pickup on said drum for movement to a line retrieval position wherein same cooperates with said spool to effect retrieval of a line and to a line casting position; and brake means including a pair of releasably engageable braking members disposed within said brake-retaining housing operative in response to movement of said line casting position for restricting rotational movement of said winding drum relative to said casing; said brake means including spring friction means mounted on said casing for preventing rotation of one of said braking members until a force in excess of a predetermined value is applied thereto by tHe other of said braking members.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
182 words
A compact spinning reel assembly comprising: means defining a spinning reel casing; a winding drum rotatably mounted on said casing having means therein defining a brake-retaining housing; a spool mounted on said casing for reciprocal movement relative to said winding drum and having a depending rim configured to enclose said winding drum when said spool is reciprocated to one end position; means for effecting rotation of said drum and reciprocation of said spool; a movable line pickup on said drum for movement to a line retrieval position wherein same cooperates with said spool to effect retrieval of a line and to a line casting position; and brake means including a pair of releasably engageable braking members disposed within said brake-retaining housing operative in response to movement of said line casting position for restricting rotational movement of said winding drum relative to said casing; said brake means including spring friction means mounted on said casing for preventing rotation of one of said braking members until a force in excess of a predetermined value is applied thereto by tHe other of said braking members.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
64 words
A compact spinning reel assembly according to claim 4; wherein said one braking member comprises a toothed ring in frictional braking contact with said spring friction means; and wherein said other braking member comprises a projection movable into and out of engagement with said toothed ring in response to alternate movement of said line pickup to said line casting and line retrieval positions, respectively.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
111 words
A compact spinning reel assembly according to claim 5; wherein said braking means comprises a cam-actuated lever pivotally mounted on said winding drum and having at one end thereof said projection, biasing means for normally biasing said cam-actuated lever in a given direction to effect engagement between said toothed ring and projection, and cam means connected to said line pickup for camming said cam-actuated lever in a direction opposite to said given direction to maintain disengagement between said toothed ring and projection when said line pickup is in said line retrieval position and to permit engagement therebetween by said biasing means when said line pickup is in said line casting position.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
52 words
A compact spinning reel assembly according to claim 6; wherein said cam means comprises an eccentrically mounted cam in camming contact with a portion of said cam-actuated lever and having means therein defining a slot dimension to receive said cam-actuated lever portion when said line pickup is in said line casting position.
