PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel that allows surely avoiding a backlash between component parts of a handle assembly when assembly is complete, without affecting the assembling property of the component parts.SOLUTION: In a fishing reel, a cylindrical member 35 and a handle arm 6 of a handle assembly 30 are formed with respective tapered cam faces 6a and 35e that are brought into surface contact with each other by an axial clamping force F produced by a threaded engagement between a handle shaft 31 and a connecting shaft 36. As the handle arm 6 and the cylindrical member 35 are displaced relative to each other along the cam faces 6a and 35e that are brought into contact by the axial clamping force F, the handle arm 6 and the handle shaft 31 are pressed against each other and fixed in place.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】ハンドル組立体の構成部品の組み込み性に影響を与えることなく、組み立て完了時の構成部品間のガタつきを確実に抑制できる魚釣用リールを提供する。【解決手段】本発明の魚釣用リールの一実施形態において、ハンドル組立体30の筒状部材35およびハンドルアーム6にはそれぞれ、ハンドル軸31と連結シャフト36との螺合に伴う軸方向締め付け力Fによって互いに面接触する界面部位にテーパ状のカム面6a,35eが形成され、軸方向締め付け力Fによって互いに接触するカム面6a,35eに沿ってハンドルアーム6と筒状部材35とが相対的に変位することによりハンドルアーム6とハンドル軸31とが互いに押し当てられて固定される。【選択図】図4
