ABSTRACT:
The handle folding apparatus for fishing reels according to this invention allows the folding of the handle arm and also the secure coupling of the handle arm to the handle shaft of the spinning reel. A handle stopper is slidably installed between the bottom of the fork of the handle seat and the front end of the handle arm. The handle stopper has an engagement projection which is in contact with the engagement surface formed at the end of the handle arm, in order to produce a wedge effect to securely hold the handle arm without a play when in use or easily allow the handle arm to be folded when not in use. The handle stopper, which is slidably installed but not mounted with a pin as in the conventional apparatus, reliably eliminates plays between the handle arm and the handle shaft of the spinning reel and at the same time makes the handle folding mechanism comact and lightweight.
