Patent ID: 7686242

Claim:
A fishing-reel driving device comprising: a reel body having a shell which defines therein an accommodation chamber that has an access opening in a left side thereof, and which has an anchored edge that faces leftwards and that borders said access opening; a reel driving mechanism which is received in said accommodation chamber, and which is accessible through said access opening; a holding frame including a tubular mount which surrounds an axis and which has an inner tubular end confronting said accommodation chamber, and an outer tubular end that is opposite to said inner tubular end, and that has a coupled surface surrounding the axis, and a web which extends radially and outwardly from said inner tubular end and which terminates at an anchoring edge that extends angularly about the axis to confront said anchored edge so as to be secured thereto; a left side cover including a central region which has a peripheral abutment edge that surrounds the axis, that defines a central hole, and that is sleeved on said tubular mount, and a faceplate region which extends radially and outwardly from said central region, and which terminates at an outskirt edge that is configured to conceal said anchoring edge when said peripheral abutment edge is sleeved on said tubular mount and is thereby forced to move towards said web; a tubular tightening member having a tubular coupling surface which surrounds the axis, and which is configured to be matingly engageable with said coupled surface such that said tubular tightening member is movable between a locked position where said tubular tightening member is closer to said inner tubular end, and a released position where said tubular tightening member is remote from said inner tubular end, and a surrounding abutment edge which confronts said peripheral abutment edge such that, when said tubular tightening member is brought into the locked position, said surrounding abutment edge is brought to force said peripheral abutment edge to move towards said web; and an actuating member which has an actuating end that is configured to be insertable into said accommodation chamber through said tubular coupling surface, that is coupled to said reel driving mechanism, and that is mounted to be revolvable about the axis relative to said tubular mount, and an operated end that is opposite to said actuating end, and that is externally operable to rotate said actuating end.
