Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to fishing tackle, and more specifically, to a multi-hook fishing device. Background Technology

[0002] A multi-hook rig is a type of fishhook tying method, also known as a grape hook or centipede hook. It gets its name from the fact that the hooks are strung together in a chain. Multi-hook rigs are a common fishing method used by anglers, typically consisting of 3-5 hooks tied to the main line. However, multi-hook rigs are troublesome to make, requiring manual tying of the rope. Furthermore, adjusting a multi-hook rig is difficult; if the distance between the hooks is too short or too long, it will affect the fishing results, requiring retying and wasting a lot of time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an improved multi-hook fishing device that can easily connect and disconnect the multi-hook line group from the main line, in view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: to construct a multi-hook fishing device, including a main line and multiple multi-hook line groups that are spaced apart and detachably connected to the main line.

[0005] Each hook-and-line assembly includes a connecting rod connected to the main line and a sub-line assembly connected to the connecting rod.

[0006] One end of the connecting rod is provided with a wire-holding groove for hanging on the main line, and the wire-holding groove is V-shaped.

[0007] In some embodiments, the inner wall surface of the cable slot protrudes to form an anti-detachment protrusion for preventing the main cable from coming out of the cable slot.

[0008] In some embodiments, the cable slot is elastic and capable of elastically securing the main cable.

[0009] In some embodiments, the sub-line assembly includes a sub-line connected to the connecting rod and a fishhook connected to the sub-line.

[0010] The connecting rod is provided with a sub-line connecting part for connecting with the sub-line.

[0011] In some embodiments, the sub-line connection portion includes a plurality of sub-line connection holes through which the sub-line passes, and the plurality of sub-line connection holes have different apertures.

[0012] In some embodiments, the connecting rod is provided with a sub-wire storage groove for storing the sub-wire.

[0013] In some embodiments, there are two sub-wire storage slots, which are located at both ends of the connecting rod along its length.

[0014] In some embodiments, the sub-line receiving groove is V-shaped.

[0015] In some embodiments, the connecting rod has a folding structure and includes at least two rotatably connected sub-connecting rods.

[0016] In some embodiments, the at least two rotatably connected sub-connecting rods include a first sub-connecting rod and a second sub-connecting rod that are rotatably connected.

[0017] The first sub-connecting rod has a storage groove. When the first sub-connecting rod and the second sub-connecting rod are folded together, the second sub-connecting rod is at least partially stored in the storage groove.

[0018] Implementing this invention has at least the following beneficial effects: by setting a V-shaped cable groove, the hook-and-line assembly can be easily attached to or detached from the main line, and the attachment and detachment speeds are fast, making it easy to adjust the position of the hook-and-line assembly on the main line.

[0029] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, the invention can be practiced in many ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, in this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "linked," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a multi-hook rig 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The multi-hook rig 100 includes a main line 1 and multiple multi-hook line assemblies 4, which are spaced apart and detachably connected to the main line 1. Each multi-hook line assembly 4 includes a connecting rod 2 connected to the main line 1 and at least one sub-line assembly 3 connected to the connecting rod 2. Each sub-line assembly 3 includes a sub-line 31 connected to the connecting rod 2 and a hook 32 connected to the sub-line 31. Of course, in other embodiments, other fishing gear such as floats or sinkers may also be connected to the main line 1 or the connecting rod 2.

[0032] Multiple hook sets 4 are spaced apart, so after being submerged, the hooks 32 can be positioned at different water depths, allowing for fishing at different depths and increasing the hook-up rate. Furthermore, the leader 31 is connected to the main line 1 via a connecting rod 2. The connecting rod 2 experiences significant resistance in the water, effectively preventing rotation during the reeling and unreeling of the main line 1, thus preventing tangling between the leader 31 and the main line 1.

[0033] Combination Figures 2 to 5As shown, one end of the connecting rod 2 may have a wire-locking groove 230, through which the connecting rod 2 can be detachably attached to the main line 1. The wire-locking groove 230 may be approximately V-shaped, with at least a portion of its width gradually decreasing from the open end 233 to the closed end 234, allowing for easy attachment and detachment from the main line 1, and enabling quick attachment and detachment. It also facilitates easy adjustment of the position of the hook-and-line assembly 4 on the main line 1. Specifically, the width of the open end 233 of the wire-locking groove 230 is greater than the diameter of the main line 1, and at least a portion of the width of the wire-locking groove 230 (specifically, the width of the portion of the wire-locking groove 230 near the closed end 234) is less than or equal to the diameter of the main line 1, allowing the main line 1 to be easily inserted from the open end 233 and secured in the wire-locking groove 230.

[0034] In some embodiments, the inner wall surface of the cable retaining groove 230 may also protrude inward to form an anti-detachment protrusion 2312. The width of the cable retaining groove 230 at the anti-detachment protrusion 2312 is smaller than the diameter of the main cable 1, thereby preventing the main cable 1 from accidentally detaching from the cable retaining groove 230 during use. In some embodiments, the cable retaining groove 230 may also have a certain degree of elasticity. On the one hand, this allows the cable retaining groove 230 to open outward at a certain angle under the action of external force, allowing the main cable 1 to pass smoothly through the anti-detachment protrusion 2312. On the other hand, it also allows the cable retaining groove 230 to elastically lock the main cable 1 under the action of elastic restoring force, improving the reliability of the connection. The anti-detachment protrusion 2312 may be set close to the opening end 233, ensuring that the opening end 233 of the cable retaining groove 230 remains open, preventing the cable retaining groove 230 from contracting inward due to external force, which would make it difficult to insert the main cable 1.

[0035] Of course, in other embodiments, the wire slot 230 can also be rigid, and the reliability of the connection can also be guaranteed by utilizing the rigidity.

[0036] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cable guide groove 230 includes two opposing sidewalls 231 and 232. An anti-detachment protrusion 2312 is formed on the sidewall 231. Specifically, the sidewall 231 includes a first wall surface 2311, an anti-detachment protrusion 2312, and a second wall surface 2313, sequentially connected from the open end 233 to the closed end 234. The sidewall 232, the first wall surface 2311, the anti-detachment protrusion 2312, and the second wall surface 2313 are all arc-shaped surfaces. The two ends of the anti-detachment protrusion 2312 are directly or indirectly connected to the first wall surface 2311 and the second wall surface 2313 through tangential contact, facilitating the smooth passage of the main cable 1 through the anti-detachment protrusion 2312. The radius of the second wall surface 2313 can be greater than the radius of the anti-detachment protrusion 2312 and the first wall surface 2311, so that the width of the wire-locking groove 230 varies greatly at the first wall surface 2311 and the anti-detachment protrusion 2312, which is conducive to the rapid import or export of the main line 1.

[0037] Of course, in other embodiments, the sidewalls 231 and 232 are not limited to the specific structures described above. For example, the sidewall 232 may be entirely composed of a plane, or it may be partially plane and partially curved or arc-shaped. As another example, the first wall surface 2311 and / or the second wall surface 2313 may be planes, and the anti-detachment protrusion 2312 may be an arc-shaped surface or partially plane and partially arc-shaped.

[0038] For example Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one end of the connecting rod 2 (the upper end in the figure) has a hook 23, and a wire-locking groove 230 is formed on the hook 23. The other end of the connecting rod 2 (the lower end in the figure) is provided with a sub-wire connecting part 24 for connecting with the sub-wire group 3. Of course, in other embodiments, the sub-wire connecting part 24 can also be provided at any position of the connecting rod 2, for example, it can also be provided in the middle or upper part of the connecting rod 2.

[0039] In some embodiments, the sub-wire connection portion 24 includes a plurality of sub-wire connection holes 240, which are spaced apart along the length (vertical) of the connecting rod 2. In other embodiments, the plurality of sub-wire connection holes 240 may also be spaced apart along the lateral direction of the connecting rod 2. These plurality of sub-wire connection holes 240 have different apertures to accommodate sub-wires 31 of different diameters. In a pair of matching sub-wire connection holes 240 and sub-wires 31, the aperture of the sub-wire connection hole 240 may be slightly larger than or equal to the diameter of the sub-wire 31, allowing the sub-wire 31 to pass through the sub-wire connection hole 240.

[0040] In some embodiments, the sub-line assembly 3 further includes a stop bead 33, with the stop bead 33 and the fishhook 32 respectively disposed at both ends of the sub-line 31. The stop bead 33 is used to limit the sub-line 31 in the sub-line connecting hole 240, and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the sub-line connecting hole 240. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting rod 2 and the sub-line 31 can also be connected by other known methods. For example, the sub-line connecting part 24 can also be a connecting ring, and the sub-line 31 is connected to the connecting ring.

[0041] like Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting rod 2 may also have a folding structure, which may include at least two rotatably connected sub-connecting rods, allowing the length of the connecting rod 2 to be changed, thereby enabling the hook and line assembly 4 to be used in different water levels and to fish for different water depths. For example, when the connecting rod 2 is folded, it is shorter and can be used for fishing in the upper and middle layers; when unfolded, it is longer and can be used for fishing in the middle and lower layers.

[0042] The connecting rod 2 may include a first sub-connecting rod 21 and a second sub-connecting rod 22 that are rotatably connected. The first sub-connecting rod 21 and the second sub-connecting rod 22 are rotatably connected by a pivot 26. The pivot 26 may be integrally formed with the first sub-connecting rod 21 or the second sub-connecting rod 22, or the pivot 26 may be formed separately and then assembled onto the first sub-connecting rod 21 or the second sub-connecting rod 22. Similarly, the hook 23 may be integrally formed with the first sub-connecting rod 21 or the second sub-connecting rod 22, or the hook 23 may be formed separately and then assembled onto the first sub-connecting rod 21 or the second sub-connecting rod 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pivot 26 is integrally formed with one end of the first sub-connecting rod 21, and the hook 23 is integrally formed with one end of the second sub-connecting rod 22. The material of the connecting rod 2 may be a plastic material such as nylon or POM.

[0043] The first sub-connecting rod 21 can rotate 180° relative to the second sub-connecting rod 22, allowing the connecting rod 2 to switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. The lengths of the first sub-connecting rod 21 and the second sub-connecting rod 22 may be the same or different. Preferably, the lengths of the first sub-connecting rod 21 and the second sub-connecting rod 22 are the same or approximately the same, which is beneficial for increasing the length of the connecting rod 2 when unfolded.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first sub-connecting rod 21 can be a rod with a generally U-shaped cross-section, with one side open to form a storage groove 210. When the first sub-connecting rod 21 and the second sub-connecting rod 22 are folded together, the second sub-connecting rod 22 can be at least partially stored in the storage groove 210, reducing the space occupied by the connecting rod 2 in the folded state and facilitating storage. Furthermore, a mutually cooperating snap-fit ​​structure can be provided between the inner wall of the storage groove 210 and the outer wall of the second sub-connecting rod 22 to improve the reliability of the connection between the first sub-connecting rod 21 and the second sub-connecting rod 22 in the folded state. Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple protruding snap-fit ​​protrusions 211 are symmetrically formed on the inner walls of both sides of the storage groove 210, and the multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions 211 are spaced apart along the length direction of the first sub-connecting rod 21. Correspondingly, multiple recessed slots 2211 are symmetrically formed on the outer walls of both sides of the second sub-connecting rod 22. These slots 2211 engage with multiple latching protrusions 211 to achieve latching and fixing between the first sub-connecting rod 21 and the second sub-connecting rod 22. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of each slot 2211 and latching protrusion 211 may be one, and / or the slots 2211 and latching protrusions 211 may be formed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 210 and the outer wall of the second sub-connecting rod 22, respectively.

[0045] In some embodiments, the outer wall surface of the first sub-connecting rod 21 may also be provided with an operating protrusion 213, which allows the user to unfold the first sub-connecting rod 21 by manually prying open the operating protrusion 213, making the unfolding operation easier. Preferably, two operating protrusions 213 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the outer wall surface of the first sub-connecting rod 21, and these two operating protrusions 213 are located at the end of the first sub-connecting rod 21 away from the rotating shaft 26, making the unfolding operation less strenuous.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second sub-connecting rod 22 may include a receiving portion 221 and an exposed portion 222. In the folded state, the receiving portion 221 is accommodated in the storage groove 210, while the exposed portion 222 protrudes outside the storage groove 210. The two outer surfaces of the exposed portion 222 protrude outward relative to the receiving portion 221, so that in the folded state, the two outer surfaces of the exposed portion 222 are flush with or substantially flush with the two outer surfaces of the first sub-connecting rod 21, which improves aesthetics and further reduces the storage space occupied by the connecting rod 2.

[0047] The first sub-connecting rod 21 and the second sub-connecting rod 22 can be connected together in a detachable or non-detachable manner. In this embodiment, both ends of the rotating shaft 26 can be integrally connected to the inner walls of both sides of the first sub-connecting rod 21. One end of the second sub-connecting rod 22 has a hook 225, on which a rotating shaft groove 2250 is formed that rotatably engages with the rotating shaft 26. One side of the rotating shaft groove 2250 has a constriction 2251, which allows the rotating shaft 26 to be engaged into the rotating shaft groove 2250 through the constriction 2251 and prevents the rotating shaft 26 from coming out. The first sub-connecting rod 21 also has an avoidance groove 212 to prevent the hook 225 from interfering with the first sub-connecting rod 21 when rotating.

[0048] Understandably, in other embodiments, the connecting rod 2 may also include three or more rotatably connected sub-connecting rods. For example, in one specific embodiment, the connecting rod 2 may also include three sub-connecting rods, namely, a first sub-connecting rod, a second sub-connecting rod, and a third sub-connecting rod, with the two ends of the second sub-connecting rod rotatably connected to the first sub-connecting rod and the third sub-connecting rod, respectively.

[0049] Corresponding to the folding structure, both the first sub-connecting rod 21 and the second sub-connecting rod 22 have sub-wire connecting portions 24 to enable connection between the connecting rod 2 and the sub-wire 31 in both the folded and unfolded states. Specifically, the sub-wire connecting portion 24 on the first sub-connecting rod 21 is located at the end of the first sub-connecting rod 21 away from the wire-locking groove 230 (the end closer to the rotating shaft 26), and the sub-wire connecting portion 24 on the second sub-connecting rod 22 is located at the end of the second sub-connecting rod 22 away from the rotating shaft 26. Of course, in other embodiments, the sub-wire connecting portions 24 may be formed at both ends of the length of the first sub-connecting rod 21.

[0050] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 2 may also be provided with a sub-line storage section 25, which can store the sub-line group 3 when not in use, facilitating the storage of the hook line group 4 and preventing the sub-line 31 from becoming tangled or knotted. The sub-line storage section 25 typically includes a sub-line storage groove 250 into which the sub-line 31 can be inserted. In some embodiments, the sub-line storage section 25 may include two sub-line storage grooves 250, which are respectively provided at both ends of the length of the connecting rod 2. The opening direction of the sub-line storage groove 250 at the upper end is upward, and the opening direction of the sub-line storage groove 250 at the lower end is downward. The sub-line 31 can be wound around the connecting rod 2 along the length direction of the connecting rod 2 and locked in the sub-line storage groove 250 to prevent the sub-line 31 from loosening. The sub-line storage groove 250 is preferably a V-shaped groove, with a larger width at the open end to facilitate the insertion of the sub-line 31 and a smaller width at the closed end to secure the sub-line 31. Furthermore, since the sub-wire receiving groove 250 has a width that gradually decreases towards the closed end, it is also possible for the sub-wire receiving groove 250 to accommodate and hold various sub-wires 31 of different diameters. Of course, in other embodiments, the shape of the sub-wire receiving groove 250 is not limited, for example, it can also be rectangular, trapezoidal or semi-circular.

[0051] In other embodiments, the connecting rod 2 may also have a sub-wire storage groove 250 at only one end. Furthermore, the sub-wire 31 may be wound laterally around the connecting rod 2, and correspondingly, the sub-wire storage groove 250 may be located in the middle region between the two ends of the connecting rod 2.

[0052] Of course, in some embodiments, the line storage section 25 may also include a hook storage section for storing the hook 32. Specifically, the hook storage section may include a slot, into which the hook 32 is inserted for positioning. Alternatively, the hook storage section may also include a swivel, onto which the hook 32 is hooked for positioning.

[0053] Figure 7 , Figure 8 The diagrams show two storage configurations of the hook-and-line assembly 4. Here, the length of the sub-line 31 is slightly greater than the length of the connecting rod 2 in its folded state to prevent the sub-line 31 from becoming too long and easily tangling. Figure 7 In this configuration, one end of the sub-wire 31 is connected to the sub-wire connection hole 240 at the upper end of the first sub-connecting rod 21, and the other end of the sub-wire 31 can be inserted into the sub-wire storage groove 250 at the lower end of the connecting rod 2. Figure 8 In the middle, one end of the sub-wire 31 is connected to the sub-wire connection hole 240 at the lower end of the second sub-connecting rod 22, and the other end of the sub-wire 31 can be inserted into the sub-wire storage groove 250 at the upper end of the connecting rod 2.

[0054] Figure 9The connecting rod 2 in some other embodiments of the present invention is shown. The connecting rod 2 includes a rod body 20 and a hook 23 disposed at one end of the rod body 20 (shown as the upper end). The hook 23 is provided with a wire-holding groove 230, and the other end of the rod body 20 (shown as the lower end) is provided with a sub-wire connection hole 240. The structure of the wire-holding groove 230 and the sub-wire connection hole 240 can be referred to the previous description and will not be repeated here. The difference is that in this embodiment, the rod body 20 does not have a folding structure, and the length of the connecting rod 2 is fixed. In addition, in this embodiment, the sub-wire storage groove 250 is only opened at the upper end of the rod body 20 and is slit-shaped.

[0055] Understandably, the above-mentioned technical features can be used in any combination without restriction.

[0056] The above embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can freely combine the above technical features without departing from the concept of the present invention, and can also make several modifications and improvements, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made with respect to the scope of the claims of the present invention should fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
