Patent ID: 8490909

Claim:
A dual-bearing reel drag sound producing device for a dual-bearing reel configured to wind a fishing line about an axis arranged in parallel to a handle shaft rotatably attached to both a side cover and a frame of a reel unit of the dual-bearing reel, the dual-bearing reel drag sound producing device configured to produce sound in conjunction with using a drag mechanism, the dual-bearing reel drag sound producing device comprising: a rotation member disposed adjacent to the side cover to rotate unitarily with a main gear, the rotation member including a plurality of sound producing convexes on an outer peripheral surface thereof, the sound producing convexes being circumferentially aligned at predetermined intervals; a pivot shaft being configured on the side cover; a hitting member being attached on the pivot shaft to move in a direction away from the rotation member and configured to pivot about the pivot shaft from a silent position to a sound producing position and further to a position, the silent position being for allowing the hitting member to be separate away from the sound producing convexes, the sound producing position being for allowing the hitting member to make contact with the sound producing convexes, the position being opposite to the first silent position across the sound producing position; a drive mechanism configured to cause the hitting member to pivot from the sound producing position to the silent position in conjunction with rotation of the main gear in a fishing-line winding direction; and an urging member configured to urge the hitting member towards the sound producing position.
