Abstract:
A brake adapted for use on a fishing reel (1) having a crank (10), wherein the crank increases a braking force when turned in a wind-up direction over that of an adjusted braking force provided when the reel is unwinding; said brake comprising: a crank (10)a disk (3) adapted to be engaged to a disk brake (2) of the reel;a hollow shaft (5) adapted to be engaged to the reel;the disk (3) being adjustable along a longitudinal axis of the hollow shaft and being fixed against relative rotation on the hollow shaft by protrusions engaged in grooves (4) on the hollow shaft;a pressure element (8) having tongues slidably engaged in grooves (4) abutting against the protrusions of the disk;the pressure element (8) having first inclined planes on a face opposite to a face on which said tongues are located;the crank (10) having second inclined planes on a first face opposite to said first inclined planes;first revolving bodies (a) each being respectively engaged at a low point of each of the first inclined planes and the second inclined planes; andsecond revolving bodies engaged in corresponding grooves on a second face of the crank and a ring fixed to the hollow shaft in the wind-up direction increases the pressure exerted on the pressure element to the disk.
