Abstract:
A fishing reel fishing line release and retrieve mechanism comprising:a reel body support, said reel body support having means of mounting and enclosing; a spool, said spool with an integral flange on each end for storing retrieved fishing line between said flanges and said spool having an axis of rotation and being rotatable about said axis when retrieving fishing line; a disk, said disk that is cylindrical formed at its periphery and rotates freely about said spool axis having a diameter larger than that of said spool and located adjacent to said spool providing a gap between said disk cylindrical formed periphery and adjacent spool flange; a rotor, said rotor having an axis of rotation the same as said spool axis and being rotatable about said spool axis in opposite direction of said spool; a rotor projection, said rotor projection affixed at the periphery of said rotor, said rotor projection projecting parallel to said spool axis and spans the width of said spool into gap between said disk cylindrical formed periphery and adjacent spool flange; a rotor shaft, said rotor shaft is affixed to said rotor to rotate with said rotor, said rotor shaft having an axis of rotation the same as said rotor axis and being rotatable about said rotor shaft axis, said rotor shaft being extended through and supported by said reel body support; a rotor shaft gear, said rotor shaft gear is affixed to said rotor shaft to rotate with said rotor shaft, said rotor shaft gear having an axis of rotation the same as said rotor shaft axis and being rotatable about said rotor shaft axis; a spool shaft, said spool shaft having an axis of rotation the same as said spool axis and being rotatable and slidable on said axis, said spool shaft extends through said disk, said spool, said rotor, said rotor shaft, said rotor shaft gear and said reel body support, said spool shaft is an axle for said disk to rotate freely about, said spool shaft is coupled to said spool to transfer said spool shaft movement to said spool, when said spool shaft is absent of an urging force along its axis said rotor projection remains extended into gap between said disk cylindrical formed periphery and said spool outer flange a fishing line retrieve mode, when said spool shaft has an urging force applied along its axis urging said spool and said disk to where said rotor projection does not extend into gap fishing line is released; a spool shaft spring, said spool shaft spring is coiled about and coupled to said spool shaft, in absence of an urging force said spool shaft spring positions said spool shaft to a fishing line retrieve mode; a crank shaft, said crank shaft having an axis of rotation that crosses said rotor shaft and said spool shaft axis at a right angle and being rotatable about said crank shaft axis, said crank shaft extends through and supported by said reel body support; a drive gear, said drive gear having an axis of rotation the same as said crank shaft and being rotatable about said crank shaft axis, said drive gear is coupled to said crank shaft, said drive gear is engaged with said rotor shaft gear; a crank, said crank having an axis of rotation the same as said crank shaft and said drive gear axis and rotatable about said crank shaft axis, said crank coupled to said crank shaft rotates said drive gear, with said rotor shaft gear, said rotor shaft, said rotor and said rotor projection coiling fishing line onto said spool.
