ABSTRACT:
An anti-reverse actuator for a reel of the type having a line carrying spool, a crank assembly consisting of a crank shaft and a handle operable to rotate the crank shaft about an axis, structure responsive to rotation of the crank handle in a first direction for directing line onto the spool, a pawl mounted for movement between first and second positions, structure for blocking the pawl in the first and second positions, and structure on the crank assembly for engaging the pawl in the first position so that the pawl prevents rotation of the crank handle in a second direction opposite to the first direction and for allowing the crank handle to rotate oppositely to the first direction with the pawl in the second position. The anti-reverse actuator consists of a body with a friction generating surface, structure for mounting the body to the crank assembly in operative position so that the friction generating surface faces axially with respect to the crank shaft axis and the friction generating surface is in sliding frictional engagement with the crank assembly to thereby follow rotation of the crank handle in the first and second directions, and structure on the actuator for engaging the pawl and for moving the pawl from its second position to its first position as an incident of the crank handle rotating in the second direction and for moving the pawl from its first position to its second position as an incident of the crank handle rotating in the first direction. The friction generating surface develops, with the crank assembly, a predetermined frictional force which is overcome upon the pawl being blocked in the second position and a predetermined torque applied to the crank handle tending to rotate the crank handle in the first direction.
