<p>The disclosure herein relates to closed face spinning reels, and it is directed more specifically to several unique structural improvements in closed face spinning reels, including a star wheel controlled bell crank for selectively adjusting the "drag" or clutching pressure applied to a normally non-rotatable line spool through a leaf spring drag brake lever pivotably mounted on the central reel frame. The ends of the bell crank are in the form of camming surfaces, one of which is engaged by the inner face of the star wheel and the other of which engages the end of the drag brake lever. Controlled pivoting of the bell crank in a first direction caused by rotation of the star wheel in a first direction effects a selective increase in the braking pressure applied to the line spool and vice versa. Additionally, the reel includes an improved housing assembly in which two cupshaped covers abut and cooperate to define two, shouldered lock screw openings which receive the shank of and are engaged and secured to the reel frame by annular locking flanges formed on the peripheral underside of the heads of the lock screws. These new structural arrangements for closed face spinning reels enhance and simplify the operation thereof, accommodate the use of readily available metallic materials of construction, simplify the manufacture of the components, and simplify the assembly thereof in the mass production of closed face spinning reels.</p> |
