Abstract:
1. A centrifugal force brake apparatus for a bait cast reel, comprising: a spool in which a spool shaft is rotatably engaged to a reel; a brake housing which is engaged to the spool shaft is rotated together with the spool and includes slide grooves formed in a radial shape in which brake shoes are respectively engaged for sliding movements; and a cover which is engaged to the brake housing is rotated together with the spool and is rotatably engaged with respect to the brake housing and includes a plurality of engaging protrusions for thereby selectively limiting the movements of the brake shoes, wherein as the cover is rotated with respect to the brake housing, the movements of the brake shoes are limited by the engaging protrusions, and a plurality of the brake shoes which are not limited by the engaging protrusions when the spool is rotated, are moved by a centrifugal force, so that a certain friction force is applied to a brake drum.
