<p>RETAINER FOR FISHING REEL OSCILLATOR SYSTEM This invention comprehends a means for securing the shaft of an oscillator mechanism of a fishing reel to the spool of the fishing reel so that the spool will reciprocate back and forth as the fishing line is wound thereon. The spool shaft is received in a mounting mechanism associated with the yoke strap cam follower portion of the oscillating mechanism. An undercut groove on the shaft facilitates its fastening to the yoke strap by a retainer clip having a base and two integral bifurcated legs extending from the base with exterior ends. The base and legs have common sides and a hole and a slot separate the legs with the hole near the center of the clip and the slot connecting the hole and the exterior ends. The legs and base are each longer than the diameter of the shaft with the hole having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the undercut groove. The slot has a width smaller than the groove. The clip has a thickness defined by the distance between the two sides slightly less the width of the groove and the clip is made from a material permitting the legs to expand outwardly sufficiently to permit positioning of the clip in the undercut groove.</p> |
