Drag Mechanism For A Fishing Reel Spool

US Patent:
5752667, May 19, 1998
Filed:
Aug 23, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/702109
Inventors:
Scott T. Merrill - Mounds OK
Robert L. Forslund - Catoosa OK
Ronald M. Cross - Tulsa OK
Assignee:
Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
A01K 89033
US Classification:
242296
Abstract:
A fly fishing reel is disclosed which allows for a simplified construction allowing for reversibility of the drag effect on a spool to facilitate left- or right-hand operation without disassembling small parts which can be lost in the boat. The spool structure is strengthened by virtue of a tapered design. A snap-on cap doubles as a support for a spring that holds the spool to a shaft.

Motion Limiting Device For Inertial Spool Brakes For Fishing Reels

US Patent:
5782420, Jul 21, 1998
Filed:
Feb 21, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/391967
Inventors:
Robert L. Forslund - Catoosa OK
David E. Valentine - Ft. Wayne IN
Assignee:
Zebco Division of Brunswick Corp. - Tulsa OK
International Classification:
A01K 8902
US Classification:
242289
Abstract:
A centrifugally actuated braking system on an end flange of the line spool of a bait cast reel. A series of raised lands or stops on the end flange cooperates with projections on the brake pads mounted on radiating brake arms to limit radial movement of the centrifugally actuated brake pads. Orthogonal brake arms are joined by an arcuate section which rides in an annular groove in the spool shaft. Additional weights for increasing braking power may be slidingly mounted on the brake arms behind the brake pads. A retainer ring sliding onto the spool shaft holds the brake arms in place. An inner lip on the retainer ring rides in a second annular groove in the spool shaft to hold the retainer ring in its locking position on the shaft.
