ABSTRACT:
A return feed locking or anti-reverse mechanism is provided to prevent reverse (unwinding) rotation of fishing reel winder. The fishing reel includes a crank operated driving shaft for rotating gearing connected to a driven shaft and line winder. The anti-reverse mechanism includes a ratchet attached to the driven shaft and engaged by a pivoted pawl or bolt to limit rotation of the winder to a single, winding direction. The pawl is pivotally mounted and interconnected to a rotational responsive spring ring carried on the driving shaft. The pawl also includes a forked end of appropriate proportions to receive a manually positioned adjustment member. The adjustment member includes a button slidable on the housing between three defined positions. As the button is shifted it moves the remote end of the adjustment member, which is disposed in forked end of the pawl, to selective dispose the pawl in: (1) one end position in engagement with the ratchet; (2) an intermediate position where the rotational responsive, spring ring is free to control the pawl position, or (3) an opposite end position where the pawl is free of the ratchet. The adjustment member is assembled by positioning it inside the reel housing in alignment with a headed pin of the slidable button which is inserted from outside the reel to pierce an appropriately shaped aperture in the adjustment member.
