Abstract
A bail arm reversing device comprises a rotor provided with a pair of diametrically opposing arms, a bail arm with both ends rotatably supported by the pair of arms in eccentric relation with respect to an axis of the rotor, a torsion spring for selectively biasing the 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 the rotor, a second timing gear mounted on one of the pair of arms and a hand operated lever provided with a second kick gear. The bail arm and the hand operated lever are interconnected by a link mechanism having a dead center. A ratchet wheel is provided to cooperate with a pawl mounted on the first timing gear whereby the bail arm can snap to a string pay out position or a string take up position when the link mechanism passes the dead point.
