PURPOSE: Rotatable elements such as those used to operate fishing reels through a crank handle and, more particularly, to a retainer element which prevents a securing element for the crank handle from repositioning as might allow inadvertent separation of the crank handle from the rotatable element are provided. CONSTITUTION: A crank assembly has a first element that is capable of being driven in rotation to effect operation of a fishing reel, a crank handle for imparting a rotational drive force to the first element, a securing element that is repositionable relative to the crank handle and first element between a first position and a second position, and a retainer element that is capable of being press fit into and maintained in an operative position relative to the crank handle and first element wherein the retainer element prevents the securing element from moving from the second position into the first position. The crank handle is mountable to and separable from the first element with the securing element in the first position. The securing element maintains the crank handle mounted to the first element with the securing element in the second position. |
