PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing spinning reel highly accurately maintaining an engagement condition between a drive gear and a pinion gear, enhancing rigidity of a reel body, attaining dust prevention and water proof of a side opening part and a lid member, and inhibiting risk of line entanglement.SOLUTION: A fishing spinning reel is provided with a lid member 30 blocking a side part opening part 13 mounted on the side part of a body 10, and rotatably supporting a handle shaft 5 by at least the lid member 30. The side opening part 13 and the lid member 30 are formed in circular shapes. The fishing spinning reel includes: a female screw part provided on the inner peripheral part of the side opening part 13, a male screw part screwed with the female screw part provided on an outer peripheral part of the lid member a drive gear 6 rotatably driven by the handle shaft 5 a pinion gear 7a with which the drive gear 6 is engaged a front bearing 52 rotatably supporting the front side of the pinion gear 7a and a back bearing 51 rotatably supporting the back side of the pinion gear 7a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】ドライブギャとピニオンギャとの噛合状態を高精度に維持することができ、併せてリール本体の剛性を高めることができ、側部開口部と蓋部材との防塵、防水を図り、糸絡みのリスクを回避する魚釣用スピニングリールを提供する。【解決手段】ボディ10の側部に設けられた側部開口部13を閉塞する蓋部材30を備え、少なくとも蓋部材30でハンドル軸5を回転可能に支持する魚釣用スピニングリールである。側部開口部13および蓋部材30は円形であり、側部開口部13の内周部に設けられた雌ねじ部と、蓋部材の外周部に設けられ雌ねじ部に螺合する雄ねじ部と、ハンドル軸5によって回転駆動されるドライブギャ6と、ドライブギャ6が噛合するピニオンギャ7aと、ピニオンギャ7aの前部側を回転可能に支持する前部軸受52と、ピニオンギャ7aの後部側を回転可能に支持する後部軸受51と、を備えた構成とした。【選択図】図4
