Patent ID: 6974100

Claim:
An induction magnetic brake for braking a line spool of a fishing reel, comprising: a frame, in which the line spool is supported rotatably about an axis of rotation, and two side plates which are mounted on the frame, the line spool having an end wall fixedly connected thereto and extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation, said magnetic brake having a plurality of permanent magnets presenting a magnetic surface area for each said magnet for inductive cooperation with the end wall of the line spool and an axially fixed magnet support carrying the magnets and located between one of said side plates and the end wall of the line spool, wherein the magnet support carries the magnets in a first plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation; and a shielding plate is arranged in a second plane which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation and located between the first plane and the end wall of the line spool, the shielding plate being movable in said second plane to cover and uncover said magnetic surface area to adjust magnetic braking effects thereof.
