Click signal device for a fishing reel

A click signal device for a fishing reel, comprising a rotary tooth wheel, a pivotable click pawl which is movable between an inactive position and an active signal-producing position out of and into engagement with the tooth wheel, a control member positioned accessible from the outside of the reel and connected to the click pawl for moving said pawl between said positions, and a spring mechanism connected with the click pawl for holding it engaged with the tooth wheel in the active position of the pawl to enable the pawl to be pivoted and for returning the pawl after pivoting thereof by the action of the tooth wheel, wherein the click pawl is pivotable in one direction from an intermediate position by rotation of the tooth wheel in one direction against the action of the spring mechanism which then returns the click pawl and is pivotable in the opposite direction from said intermediate position by rotation of the tooth wheel in the opposite direction, and a pivotally mounted lever connected to said spring mechanism and held in engagement with the click pawl by means of said spring mechanism, the click pawl, when being pivoted in said opposite direction, will act against said spring mechanism through said lever and will then be returned by the action of said spring mechanism on said lever.
