SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 522,323, dated July 3,1894.

- Application iilediApril 16, 1894. Serial No. 507,645. (No model.)

To all whomit may concern.:

Be it known that I, JOHN S. FEEESE, of Brooklyn, New York, have invented an Improved Fishing-Reel,of which the following is a specification.

This invention. relates to a shing reel in which the entire operating mechanism is concealed and protected, and which may be readily set to its various positions of casting,flsh ing and Winding up.

^ In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan Of myimproved reel; Fig. 2 a side view partly in section thereof; Fig. 3 an inner face view of head a; Figntan inner face view of cam e; Fig. 5 an outer face'view ofsuch cam; Fig. 6 a section on line 6, 6, Fig. 2; Fig. 7 asection on line 7, 7, Fig. 3; Figs. 8 and 9 are inner face views of head a', showing the parts in dilerent positions.

The letters a, a', represent the two heads of a reel connected by rods a2, as usual, and of which the head ct', is hollow to contain part of the operating mechanism. Through the heads a, c', passes the shaft b, upon which the line is wound, and which is provided with the cup-shaped disks b ,that bear against thel heads. l

The outer end of spindle b, is squared to form the seat for a cog Wheel b2, which is adapted to be engaged by an internally geared movable wheel c. This wheel carries the usual handle c', andthe counterweight c2.. It is provided with a' hub c3, containing a screw c, which passes through'a slot a3, of head a', and connects thev Wheelto'av lever d. This lever is pivoted at d,within the hollow of head a. y

The free end of lever d,isvprovided with a pin d2, that engages the external groove e', of

a revolving cam e. VThis cam has a milled edge partially exposed and accessible through The inner face ofY the cam e, is provided with the groove e2, engaged by the pin f', of a pivoted click f. This click is provided with a spring f2, and is, by the movement of the cam, either thrown into or out of engagement i with a ratchet wheel g, fast on shaft b.

Over the inner face of the cam e, there extends a drag or spring brake h, secured to head d', at one end by screw h. This drag is adapted to be thrown with `its free end into contact with the disk b', of shaft b, by a pin e3, on the inner face of cam e. That is to say, when the cam is revolved so as to bring the pin in line with the drag, the free end of the latter will bear against the outer face of the disk b', to brake the shaft b. When however the cam isrevolved so as-to liberate the drag,

the latter will recede from the disk b', by its own spring action and thus the brake willb removedifrom the shaft b.

In use, the cam e,'is revolved to either of its three mainpositions, adapted forcasting, for shing and for winding up the line.

For casting (Fig. 3), the cam is revolved into its position l. It will in this position with draw the click f, from ratchet wheel g, While the pin e3, will bear against the drag h, so as to put the latter into action. In this way, the click. does not prevent the free revolution of the shaft, while the drag at the sametime, properly checks the speed of such revolution.

For iishing (Fig. 8), the cam is revolved into its position 2. It will in this position cause the click f,to engage the ratchet wheel g, so that a pull on theline by a iish is properly indicated. At the same time, the pin e3 is out of line Withdrag h, and the latter is off, to permit the line to be freelyplayed out.

For winding up the line, (Fig. 9,) thedcam is revolved into position 3. Here theclick f, is out of engagement with the ratchet wheel g, and the drag h, is off. At the same time, the levend, has been vibrated to draw the wheel c, into engagement with the Wheel b2. By now revolving the handle, the line is wound upon of the operating mechanism are entirely ooneealed and protected.

What I claim is- 1. The combination in a Iishing reel of a shaft with a. cog Wheel mounted thereon, alever, a revolving cam engaging the same, an internally geared Wheel secured to the lever, and a handle secured to theinternally geared Wheel, substantially as specified.

2. A fishing reel provided with a shaft, a cog Wheel and ratchet wheel mounted thereon, a cam, a click and lever operated thereby, a gear Wheel connected to the lever and adapted to engage the conlr wheel, and a handle secured to the gear wheel, substantially as specied. I5
