Spin-Throw Fishing Rail with Improved Dual Crank Bearing Fixture

摘要

A spin casting fishing reel (10) has a cylindrical body (20) with a transverse deck plate (21) and circumferential forward (22) and rearward (23) body portions with integral axially aligned hollow bosses (39 and 40) at opposite sides of the rearward reel body portion. There is a crank bearing sleeve (160 and 161) slidably mounted in each of the hollow bosses (39 and 40), and a gear crank assembly (310) is journalled in the crank bearing sleeves (160 and 161). A back housing (11) for the reel has a cylindrical cover (12) mating with the periphery of the rearward circumferential body portion (23) and is detachably secured to the body. Transversely extending interengaging parts (45, 46 and 164) on each of the hollow bosses (39 and 40) and on each crank bearing sleeve (160 and 161) fix the rotational orientation of the bearing sleeves in the bosses, and abutting surfaces (46, 47 and 165) limit inward movement of the sleeves in the bosses. An inwardly facing surface (51 or 52) on a rearward part of each hollow boss (39 or 40) and an outwardly facing surface (167) on a rearward part of each sleeve (160 and 161) form the outer and inner sides, respectively, of a rearwardly open recess, and a forwardly projecting web (19) at each side of the back housing (11) extends into one of the aforesaid rearwardly open recesses to restrict lateral outward movement of the crank bearing sleeves (160 and 161).
