Abstract
Abstract A fishing reel having a fixed spindle and an axially movable spool. A brake and clutch mechanism comprises a brake disk movable axially into engagement with the spool flange, the reaction forces thereby created being taken up by the spindle through screw elements on the spindle ends. The reel end plates are unloaded by the reaction forces and between them clamp a tubular casing carrying the reel seat and protecting the spool. One end plate is fastened to the spindle by means of a large central nut permitting fast disassembly of the entire reel. A brake force setting lever has a hub journalled on one end of the spool spindle. The inner end of the hub carries a cam surface engaging a cam element axially movable on the spindle to engage a gear wheel, driven by a crank-operated pinion and in turn engaging the brake disk to rotate this and move the brake disk axially into engagement with the spool flange. The braking force can be pre-set by means adjusting the axial position of the spool on the spindle.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
264 words
A fishing reel having a spindle (1), a spool (3), a driven member (15), said spool and said driven member each being axially slidably and rotatably mounted on said spindle, said driven member having means (13) engageable with said spool to form in engagement therewith a clutch brake device, drive means connected to said driven member to drive said member and said spool in a winding direction, abutment means (53, 69, 65) to retain said spool and said driven member on said spindle, separably operable adjustable means (65, 57, 45) mounted on said spindle to adjustably vary the distance occupied by said spool and said driven member along said spindle between said abutment means to vary the tension and frictional engagement between said spool and said clutch brake device, the first of said separably operable adjustable means comprising a non-rotable member (41, 45) mounted about said spindle and occupying a position therealong outboard of said spool and said Driven member, a second member (47, 49) rotatably mounted about said spindle adjacent said non-rotatable member and having engaging cooperating surfaces therewith, at least one of said surfaces forming an axial cam, means to rotate said second member to vary the tension of said clutch brake device, the other of said adjustable means comprising a threaded device (65) threaded on said spindle, a toothed gear (81) on said threaded device, a web (71) secured on said spindle, and a pinnion (83) manually rotatably mounted in said web and engaging said toothed gear whereby the position of said threaded device along said spindle may be selectively adjusted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
264 words
A fishing reel having a spindle (1), a spool (3), a driven member (15), said spool and said driven member each being axially slidably and rotatably mounted on said spindle, said driven member having means (13) engageable with said spool to form in engagement therewith a clutch brake device, drive means connected to said driven member to drive said member and said spool in a winding direction, abutment means (53, 69, 65) to retain said spool and said driven member on said spindle, separably operable adjustable means (65, 57, 45) mounted on said spindle to adjustably vary the distance occupied by said spool and said driven member along said spindle between said abutment means to vary the tension and frictional engagement between said spool and said clutch brake device, the first of said separably operable adjustable means comprising a non-rotable member (41, 45) mounted about said spindle and occupying a position therealong outboard of said spool and said Driven member, a second member (47, 49) rotatably mounted about said spindle adjacent said non-rotatable member and having engaging cooperating surfaces therewith, at least one of said surfaces forming an axial cam, means to rotate said second member to vary the tension of said clutch brake device, the other of said adjustable means comprising a threaded device (65) threaded on said spindle, a toothed gear (81) on said threaded device, a web (71) secured on said spindle, and a pinnion (83) manually rotatably mounted in said web and engaging said toothed gear whereby the position of said threaded device along said spindle may be selectively adjusted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
200 words
A fishing reel having a spindle (1), a spool (3) axially slidably and rotatably mounted on said spindle, a driven member (15) axially slidably and rotatably mounted on said spindle, said driven member having means (13) engageable with said spool to form in engagement therewith a clutch brake device, drive means connected to said drivenmember to drive said member and said spool in a winding direction, abutment means (53, 65) to retain said spool and said driven member on said spindle, adjustable means (65, 57, 45) mounted on said spindle to adjustably vary the distance occupied by said spool and said driven member along said spindle between said abutment means to vary the tension of said clutch brake device, a pair of end bells (33, 71) one of said end bells supportively engaged by one of said abutments at one end of said spindle, a nut (75) threaded on the other end of said spindle, the other of said end bells supported on said nut, a tubular casing (73) spaced between said end bells and supportively engaged thereby and surrounding said spindle and spool, and an opening (77) formed in said casing to permit entry of line to said spool.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
200 words
A fishing reel having a spindle (1), a spool (3) axially slidably and rotatably mounted on said spindle, a driven member (15) axially slidably and rotatably mounted on said spindle, said driven member having means (13) engageable with said spool to form in engagement therewith a clutch brake device, drive means connected to said drivenmember to drive said member and said spool in a winding direction, abutment means (53, 65) to retain said spool and said driven member on said spindle, adjustable means (65, 57, 45) mounted on said spindle to adjustably vary the distance occupied by said spool and said driven member along said spindle between said abutment means to vary the tension of said clutch brake device, a pair of end bells (33, 71) one of said end bells supportively engaged by one of said abutments at one end of said spindle, a nut (75) threaded on the other end of said spindle, the other of said end bells supported on said nut, a tubular casing (73) spaced between said end bells and supportively engaged thereby and surrounding said spindle and spool, and an opening (77) formed in said casing to permit entry of line to said spool.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
