Claims
- 1. A reverse rotation preventing mechanism in a fishing reel, comprising:
- a reel casing;
- a rotary shaft member adapted to transmit a rotational torque from a first member to a second member and to rotate relative to said reel casing;
- said first member non-rotatably fitted on said rotary shaft member to rotate together with said rotary shaft member and formed with a first surface;
- said second member rotatably fitted on said rotary shaft member and formed with a second surface radially facing said first surface with respect to an axis of said rotary shaft member;
- a rolling member provided between said first and second surfaces;
- first means for interlocking said rolling member with said first and second surfaces so that said first and second members are prevented from being rotated together when said rotary shaft member is rotated in a first direction and permitting said first and second members to rotate together when said rotary shaft member is rotated in a second direction opposite to said first direction; and
- second means for selectively preventing said second member from being rotated relative to said reel casing, said second means including an engagement portion formed in said second member and spaced from said second surface in a direction of said axis of said rotary shaft member.
- 2. The mechanism according to claim 1 wherein said rotary member includes a rotary quill to which a rotor of a spinning reel is fixed.
- 3. The mechanism according to claim 1 wherein said rotary member includes a drive shaft to which a handle for a double bearing type fishing reel is fixed.
- 4. The mechanism according to claim 1 wherein said second member includes a large diameter portion for defining said second surface and a small diameter portion for forming said engagement portion, said large diameter portion adjoining said small diameter portion in said direction.
- 5. A reverse rotation preventing mechanism in a fishing reel, comprising:
- a reel casing;
- a rotary member rotatable in first and second directions with respect to said reel casing;
- one-way bearing means mounted on said rotary menber for preventing rotation of said rotary member, said one-way bearing means including a first engaging element rotatable in said first and second directions with respect to said reel casing, and
- a second engaging element supported by said reel casing and selectively engageable with said first engaging element;
- wherein engagement between said first and second engaging elements positively inhibits rotation of said first engaging element in both said first and second directions, thereby actuating said one-way bearing means such that said rotary member is permitted to rotate in said first direction and said rotary member is prevented from rotating in said second direction.
- 6. A reverse rotation preventing mechanism according to claim 5, wherein said first engaging element is an outer race member of said one-way bearing means.
- 7. A reverse rotation preventing mechanism according to claim 6, wherein said first engaging element includes a rectangular notch.
- 8. A reverse rotation preventing mechanism according to claim 5, wherein said first engaging element includes a ratchet wheel having a rectangular notch between adjacent rachet teeth.
- 9. A reverse rotation preventing mechanism according to claim 5, wherein said first engaging element is an inner race member of said one-way bearing means.
- 10. A reverse rotation preventing mechanism according to claim 9, wherein said first engaging element includes a rectangular notch.
