Abstract:
A dual-bearing fishing reel spool-braking device for use in a dual-bearing reel having a reel main body, a handle rotatably supported by the reel main body, and a spool fitted rotatably to the reel main unit, rotation generated by the handle being transmitted to the spool through a rotational transmission path, said dual-bearing reel braking device being provided in the rotational transmission path to brake the rotation of the spool in a line-out direction, said dual-bearing reel braking device comprising:a brake disk non-rotatably mounted on one end of the spool with a gap therebetween, such that said brake disk is shiftable a predetermined distance axially along the spool; a first disk member to which rotation from the handle is transmitted, said first disk member being disposed facing said brake disk on a side of said brake disk away from the spool, said first disk member being axially immobile at least in a direction away from said brake disk, said first disk member being unrotatable in a line-out direction relative to the reel main unit; a second disk member disposed facing said brake disk on a side of said brake disk closer to the spool, said second disk member being axially shiftable so as to part away from said first disk member, said second disk member being rotatable when said first disk member and said second disk member sandwich said brake disk; a first urging member for urging said brake disk axially away from said second disk member; and shifting means for reciprocatingly shifting the spool and said second disk member axially to enable said first and second disk members to sandwich said brake disk.
