![]() nected with the' spool, a presser member biased towards the feed roller to form af bight for directing line upwardly from the frame, and a guide member beyond the bight for delivering line forwardly from the frame. lĪ fishing reel employing the present invention may have its attaching flange extending forwardly from the frame, a linespool journalled in the frame, a feed roller rotatably intercon. The line guide member is preferably 1ocated remotely from the feed rollerso that when the line beyond the bight is under any apprecia` ble tension, the idler roller will move against the force of its biasing spring or springs to permit separation of the line from contact with the feed roller. The line redirecting member is preferably an idler roller journalled in the frame provided with one or 'more springs for biasingit towards the feed roller. The line receiving bight is preferably substantiallyv bisected by such a plane so vthat when the rollersare both in engagement with the line, the line will be driven upwardly and in some instances backwardly from between them and then through a line guide beyond the redirectingA member or roller in a direction substantially parallel to the base. 2,380,670, dated July 31, 1915- l By way of contrast to these patented disclosures, the present invention contemplates a reel comprising a frame, a base for securing the frame-to a support, a line spool journalled in the'- frame, a feed roller carried by the frame and rotatably interconnected `with the spool, and a line redirecting member yieldably biased to- Wards the feed roller to define a line receiving bight lying in a plane inclined to thev base at an angle exceeding 45, which angle is preferablyin excess of 60. Typical prior artdisclosures dealing with'the problem here involved, over which the present invention constitutes a marked improvement, willbe'found' in the patents issued to Higbee, No. ![]()
