Abstract:
A double-bearing type reel having a spool for winding up a fishing line and a drag mechanism slipping to rotate said spool when a predetermined tension acts on the line wound round said spool:said drag mechanism comprising an outer ring, and inner shaft, a plurality of rollers arranged between said outer ring and said inner shaft so as to roll, and a torque adjusting section for moving said outer ring and said inner shaft relatively in an axial direction said rollers being arranged between tapered roll surfaces which are an inner circumferential surface of said outer ring and an outer circumferential surface of said inner shaft, having center axes inclined against center axes of said outer ring and said inner shaft; said torque adjusting section adjusting slip torque of said outer ring and said inner shaft by pressing said outer ring and said inner shaft so as to move relatively in the axial direction, thereby said outer ring and said inner shaft being slipped relatively by a tension exceeding a predetermined value acting on said line would round said spool to rotate said spool and wind off said line. wherein a circulation passage of lubricating oil is provided between said outer ring and said inner shaft, said circulation passage including an interspace extending substantially axially between adjacent rollers of said plurality of rollers and communication oil passage connecting two axial ends of said interspace so as to enable flow of the lubricating oil through said interspace.
