Abstract: 711,190. Fishing reels. SHAKESPEARE CO. April 17, 1952, No. 9670/52. Class 48 A fishing reel comprises a. manually actuated spindle 37 mounted for rotative and reciprocatory movement, a rotatably mounted spool 12 having adjustable frictional means for retarding its rotation, a line wind member 42 carried by the spindle 37 to rotate therewith and to reciprocate axially over the spool 12, a line pick-up finger 53 mounted on the line wind member to be projected to engage the line, a pin 52 on the spindle 37 acting to engage and project the pick-up finger 53 on line winding rotation of the spindle and to disengage the pick-up finger 53 when the spindle rotates in the reverse direction, and stop means operative at a particular point in the reverse rotation of the line wind member when the member is at its forward position clear of the spool to permit retraction of the pick-up finger and to coact therewith to prevent further reverse rotation of the line wind member. The spindle 37 is mounted for reciprocating movement in a sleeve hub 321 rotatably mounted in a tubular bearing 11 projecting forwardly from a gear box 1. The sleeve hub is attached to a driven gear 32 coacting with a bevelled driving gear 31 and the spindle has a non-circular part 38 coacting with a corresponding part of the driven gear whereby the spindle rotates with the hub. The end of the spindle has a Scotch yoke 39 having a curved slot with which a crank pin 41 on the driving gear 31 coacts to reciprocate the spindle in the sleeve hub; the curvature of the slot causes the reciprocating speed to be increased at the forward portion of the stroke. The line wind member. 42 has a cylindrical rear portion 43 and a conical front portion 44 having an inwardly projecting hub 45 provided with a bushing 46 bearing on the front end of the spindle and having an inturned portion 461 coacting .with a shoulder 48 at the end of the spindle. A captive retaining nut 50 is screwed on to the spindle. The rear end of the hub 45 is slotted at 451, Fig. 10, to coact with the pin 52 on the spindle, the pin and slot providing a lost-motion driving connection between the spindle and the line wind member 42. The pick-up finger 53 is pivoted at 56 within the linewind member. When the pin 52 on the spindle is at the end of the lost motion slot 451 corresponding to its driving the line wind member in line winding direction (the position shown in Fig. 10) it abuts the inner end of the pick-up finger to hold the finger against the return action of a spring 59 in a position in. which an arm 531 on the outer .end of the finger projects through a slot 55 in the cylindrical portion 43 of the line wind member and a stud 54 on the arm is located to engage the line. The cylindrical portion 43 of the line wind member reciprocates over the spool and also over a non- rotatable plate ,60 mounted in front of the front flange 17 of the spool. This plate 60 and the front flange 17 are of equal diameter and prevent the pick-up arm from retracting when the pin .52 moves along the lost motion slot 451 from under the inner end of the pick-up finger, for instance on reverse rotation of the line wind member or spindle; but at the outward end of the reciprocating movement of the line wind member the pick-up arm is clear of the spool front flange for part of a revolution and a recess 61 is provided in the plate 60 into which recess the arm retracts to prevent further reverse rotation of the line wind member. The recess 61 is located on the lower edge of the plate so that the finger retracts in. an upward direction. A lug 66 is provided on the pickup finger to engage with the pin 52 when the line wind member is being assembled on the end of the spindle, the lug serving to pivot the pick-up finger outwardly clear of the lost motion slot to allow the pin to enter therein. The spool 12 is rotatably mounted on a bushing 13 surrounding the bearing 11 for the sleeve hub 321 in which the spindle reciprocates. The adjustable friction means for retarding the spool comprises a hand member 21 which is threaded upon the annular forward-projecting portion 8 of the gearbox and which is provided with an annular member 22 coacting with a rearwardly off-set peripheral friction part 16 of the rear flange of the spool, a friction element 23 being disposed between the flange part 16 and the friction member 22. The hand member is locked in adjusted position by a detent 26 mounted in the gear box and projecting through an opening 28 therein to engage teeth 25 on the rear edge of the hand member. A housing 27 enclosing the line wind member has its rear end frictionally engaged within the hand member. The line passes from the spool through the annular space between the housing and the line wind member to a guide eye 30 at the apex of the forward conical portion of the housing. Drain holes are provided in the housing. The spool has a click pinion 78 coacting with a spring-urged pawl on the gear box. The shaft 4. Fig. 7, of the bevelled driving gear 31 is mounted on a bearing 6 secured to the gear box and is provided with a ratchet mechanism which, when engaged, allows the shaft to rotate in line winding direction only. The ratchet-comprises a ratchet jawed member 73 slidably mounted on the bearing 6 and urged outwardly by a spring 75 into coacting relation with a ratchet jawed member 72 fixed to the shaft 4. The slidable member 73 has internal portions which register with flats 71 on the bearing 6 when the ratchet is engaged and which can be engaged with a peripheral groove in the bearing 6, to hold the ratchet in disengaged position, by first retracting the slidable member and then rotating it through a small angle determined by stops.
