Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a removable and reusable device for extracting and retracting a length of material, such as fishing line, rope, wire, or thread, that is stored about a spool or cylinder. The device includes a flexible band and a retaining element connected to the flexible band. The retaining element has an opening through which the length of material passes. The length of material is extracted by inserting one end of the material through the opening in the retaining element and pulling it away from the retaining element. The device can be easily attached and detached from the spool or cylinder. The invention also provides a method for making the device. The technical effects of the invention include the ability to easily extract and retract length of material, as well as the convenience and durability of the removable and reusable device."

Problems solved by technology

With the exception of the device disclosed in Belliveau, most all of the prior fishing line reel assemblies and the prior art devices for withdrawing and rewinding material cannot be removably adapted to an existing spool or cylindrical shaped container that contains a stored length of material.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention is generally directed to a removable and reusable device for extracting and retracting a length of material that is stored about a spool or cylindrically shaped object. As shown in FIG. 1, the removable and reusable device 10 includes a retaining element 12 having an opening therein for passing through a length of material and a flexible band 14 connected or attached to retaining element 12. Flexible band 14 has first and second ends 16 and 18 which are attached to opposite sides of the outer surface of retaining element 12 with an adhesive, for example. Removable and reusable device 10 may also include a securing element 20 that is positioned over first and second ends 16, 18 of flexible band 14 and over the outer surface of retaining element 12 to secure the first and second ends 16,18 of flexible band 14 to retaining element 12.

[0020] In the perspective view of the exemplary embodiment of the removable and reusable device 10 shown in FIG. 1, retainin...

Abstract

A removable and reusable device is presented for extracting and retracting a length of material stored about the circumference of a spool or cylinder. The removable and reusable device includes a retaining element having an opening though which the stored material can pass and a flexible band attached to the retaining element.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to a removable and reusable device, capable of being positioned over a length of stored material wound around a spool or cylinder, that enables the length of stored material to be easily extracted from, and retracted about, the spool or cylinder. The stored material may include fishing line, rope, twine, wire, thread, or any other material that is stored by wrapping the material about a spool or cylindrically shaped apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to a removable and reusable device for extracting and retracting a length of stored material that includes a retaining element and a flexible or semi-flexible band connected to the retaining element. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0002] The prior art includes many devices for fishing line reel assemblies that allow for the easy extraction and retraction of fishing line. The prior art also includes devices for use in the extraction and retraction of othe...
