At a glance

The spring-loaded finger that catches the teeth of a ratchet.

卡住棘轮齿的带弹簧小爪。

A pawl is a small pivoting or sliding finger pressed against ratchet teeth by a spring. It lets movement pass one way and catches the other way.

Pawl shape, material and spring force decide how sharp and loud each click is. A worn pawl tip makes clicks feel vague.

Also known as: Ratchet Pawl, Click Pawl, 棘爪片.

棘爪是被弹簧压在棘齿上的小摆杆或滑块，只允许一个方向通过，另一个方向会被卡住。

棘爪的形状、材质和弹簧力决定每一声的清脆度和音量。爪尖磨损后，段落会变得含糊。

又称：Ratchet Pawl、Click Pawl、棘爪片。
