ABSTRACT:
An internal bail arm latching and release mechanism for a spinning reel includes a spring biased bail arm 12 secured at one end to a pivot cam 14 rotatably mounted on a post 11 extending out from a support housing 8 integral with the reel rotor 8. The pivot cam carries a C-shaped cam face 31 of increasing radius, adapted to engage a detent 21 on a spring biased, slidably mounted, L-shaped kick lever 19 having a trapezoidal projection 28 on its upper end. The latter is positioned to strike a trip tab 26 on a stationary key plate 25, which also serves as a bearing retainer, when the rotor is turned with the bail arm cocked. This forces the kick lever inwardly to release the bail arm, and as it swings over to the rewind position the cam face 31 moves the kick lever further inward to thereby provide rotational clearance between the projection 28 and the tab 26.
