Bail arm reversing device fishing spinning reels

A bail arm reversing device of an outer spool type spinning reel comprising:

• a main body of a reel;
• a rotor supported by said main body and provided with a pair of arms formed on a periphery of said rotor at diametrically opposing positions;
• a bail arm having opposite ends rotatably supported by said pair of arms, said bail arm being eccentrically mounted with respect to an axis of rotation of said rotor,
• a tension spring for selectively biasing said bail arm toward a string take up position and a string pay out position;
• a first timing gear having one end pivotally connected to a spoke of said rotor to be movable in a radial direction;
• a second timing gear mounted on one of said pair of arms;
• a hand operated lever mounted on said one arm and provided with a second kick gear;
• a link mechanism interconnecting said bail arm with said hand operated lever, said link mechanism having a dead point which determines the direction of movement of said bail arm;
• a pawl mounted on said first timing gear;
• a first kick gear having a plurality of teeth and secured to said rotor;
• spring means for urging said pawl to engage said teeth of said first kick gear whereby said bail arm snaps to a string pay out position or a string take up position when said link mechanism passes said dead point.
