Abstract: 897,072. Fishing reels. URFABRIKEN AB. Oct. 25, 1960 [Nov. 4, 1959], No. 36660/60. Class 48. In a fishing reel having a rotary line guide 8 for winding the line on to a fixed spool 7, a pick-up pin 16 mounted on a slide 18 and extending through a hole in the periphery of the line guide 8 is urged by a leaf spring 26 into a withdrawn position within the line guide, and is held in ejected position by an inclined surface 22 on a shoulder 21 on the slide 18 abutting the edge of a disc 14 supporting an annular rubber brake shoe 15 and secured to a rod 12 which is manually axially movable against the action of a spring 13 to apply the brake and to release the shoulder 21 so that the pick-up pin is withdrawn by its spring 26. The slide 18 has a slot 19 for a pin 20 extending downwardly from the line guide 8. When the brake is released the brake spring 13 moves the brake downwardly and the disc 14 engages an upper surface of the shoulder 21, causing the pick-up pin to rock in the hole in the line guide 8 so that the inner end of the slide 18 engages a cam 29 on the end of a stationary hub 6 enclosing the hollow shaft 5 of the rotary line guide 8. When the shaft 5 is rotated to wind in the line the cam 29 pushes the pick-up pin 16 outwardly until the edge of the disc 14 engages the upper edge of the inclined surface 22 on the shoulder 21. The disc then moves farther downwardly and pushes the pick-up pin 16 outwardly so that the slide 18 is spaced from the cam 29. The reel may have two pick-up pins 16. In another embodiment, Fig. 4, a tenon 35 is secured to a plate 33 fixed to the brake shoe and carries a washer 38 having an inclined outer surface engaging an inclined surface 40 on the slide 30 to hold the pick-up pin in projected position. The washer is urged downwardly by a spring 39 on to a sleeve 36 on the tenon 35. When the brake is applied the tenon lifts the washer and a flange 37 on the sleeve 36 causes the slide 30 and pick-up pin 16 to rock about the hole in the line guide 8. In consequence the washer disengages from the inclined surface 40 of the slide 30 and the pick-up pin moves inwardly under the action of its spring 26. The inner end of slide 30 moves to a position above the cam 29 on the stationary hub 6. When the brake is released the end of the slide 30 engages the cam 29 and the tenon moves downwardly through the washer 38 until the brake is returned to its initial withdrawn position. When the line guide is rotated the cam 29 ejects the pick-up pin 16 until the washer edge engages the inclined surface 40. The pick-up pin is then farther ejected by the washer so that the end of the slide 30 clears the cam 29. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the pick-up pin 16 is on the end of an arm 44 the other end of which projects through an aperture 45 in the rotary line guide 8 and engages in an annular groove 46 in the rod 12 for operating the brake 15. An inclined surface 47 on the rod 15 engages with the end of the arm 44 to hold the pick-up pin in ejected position. When the brake is applied the end of the arm 44 enters the annular groove 46 and the arm is then tilted so that a shoulder 48 on the arm is raised to clear the cam 29. On release of the brake the shoulder 48 engages the cam and when the line guide 8 is rotated the arm is moved outwardly by the cam and finally by the inclined surface 47. U.S.A.
