ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a centrifugal brake mechanism in a spinning reel for braking a line spool which includes a shaft with a coupling member for coupling the spool to a coupling member in the transmission of the spinning reel, the braking mechanism including a hub member mounted on the shaft with a guide pin holder which supports, on radially directed guide pins, shiftable bodies which are disposed, on rotation of the spool, to be shifted, under the influence of the centrifugal force, radially outwardly on the guide pins to be pressed against a braking surface. According to a preferred embodiment, the hub member with the guide pin holder is supported on the shaft axially inside the coupling member of the shaft, the guide pin holder consisting of at least two guide pin support limbs projecting substantially radially from the hub and having end projections directed axially from the spool, and relatively short guide pins which are supported on the limb projections.
