Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an underwater video camera, and more particularly to an underwater video camera that is pulled in front of a trolled bait. Background Technology
[0002] Trolling is a fishing method in which a fishing line, baited with lures or baitfish, is dragged across the water. This can be done behind a moving boat, or, for example, when fishing from a pier, from a stationary position by winding the line with a fishing reel (known as retrieval), or even simply by swinging the line back and forth. Fishing lures are artificial baits designed to mimic real prey animals using their appearance, color, reflection, movement, and vibration, and to attract the attention of predatory fish during retrieval. Most are equipped with one hook or multiple hooks of various styles.
[0003] What is usually beneficial is the ability to see how the bait moves during trolling and to see any fish that approach or bite the bait, and several attempts have been made to develop underwater video cameras for this purpose.
[0004] US2017 / 042136 and US2018 / 192624 are examples of lures with integrated cameras. Here, the hooks are attached directly to the camera housing, so they are not attached to the line in front of the lure and are detached from it. It is assumed that the fish will bite the entire lure-camera assembly. The tongue and fins on these lure-cameras are designed to make the lure mimic the movement of a natural lure during trolling, which will result in very unstable video capture.
[0005] CN 216700109, US 9,507,243, and US 8,515,269 relate to cameras attached to a line in front of a lure and detached from the lure. These references describe shapes and fins designed to stabilize the camera's depth and movement as it is pulled through the water. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Accordingly, there is a need for a solution for underwater fishing cameras that provides improved stability and depth control during trolling, which can mitigate, alleviate, or resolve the shortcomings of existing fishing cameras.
[0007] An underwater camera assembly is disclosed, which passes through water in a forward direction, such as being pulled by a line, preferably in front of and separate from a decoy that is attached to the same line or an extension of the line.
[0008] An underwater camera assembly is disclosed that is pulled forward through water. The camera assembly includes an elongated body having a front end portion and a rear end portion, as well as upper and lower portions. The body holds the camera in a waterproof manner, with the camera aperture aligned with a rearward-facing window in the rear end portion. The camera assembly includes a line attachment system, preferably positioned at the lower portion of the body and configured to secure the body to a segment of the line. The camera assembly includes a front tongue extending downward and forward from the lower portion of the front end portion and configured to apply a downward force to the body when the assembly is pulled forward through water. The camera assembly includes at least two stabilizers and optionally at least one stabilizer extending laterally from the rear end portion at an angle of symmetry between 10° and 80° with respect to the vertical direction, and the optional at least one stabilizer extending laterally from the rear end portion and vertically. Furthermore, the camera assembly preferably has positive buoyancy in fresh water.
[0009] In an exemplary embodiment, at least two stabilizers extend laterally from the upper part of the rear end portion. In an exemplary embodiment, at least one optional stabilizer extends laterally from the lower part of the rear end portion in a vertically downward direction.
[0010] Throughout the instruction manual, “depth” refers to the vertical distance from the body to the water surface when the camera assembly is being towed, while “line” refers to the fishing line or other filament used to pull the camera assembly through the water. Attached Figure Description
[0011] The above and other features and advantages of this disclosure will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of examples thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0012] Figure 1 This is an illustration of the main body of the camera that maintains an elongated shape according to the present disclosure.

[0014] Figures 3A to 3C These are, respectively, a perspective view, a side view, and a front view of the front tongue according to this disclosure.
[0015] Figures 4A to 4C These are, respectively, a perspective view, a side view, and a front view of the stabilizer according to this disclosure. Detailed Implementation
[0016] Various examples and details are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings may be drawn to scale or not to scale, and elements of similar structure or function are indicated by the same reference numerals in all the drawings. It should also be noted that the drawings are intended only to facilitate the description of examples. They are not intended as an exhaustive description of this disclosure or as a limitation on the scope of this disclosure. Furthermore, the examples shown do not need to have all the aspects or advantages shown. Aspects or advantages described in connection with a particular example are not necessarily limited to that example and may be practiced in any other example even if not so shown or so explicitly described.
[0017] For clarity, the accompanying drawings are schematic and simplified, and they show only the details that aid in understanding this disclosure, while other details are omitted. The same reference numerals are always used for the same or corresponding parts.
[0018] An underwater camera assembly is disclosed that is pulled forward through water. The camera assembly includes an elongated body having a front end portion and a rear end portion, as well as upper and lower portions. In an exemplary embodiment, the elongated body can be described as having at least a generally cylindrical shape or having at least a generally cylindrical shape having a length L and a radius r, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2A Referring to the depiction of an exemplary body in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that this generalized shape is intended to provide approximate dimensions for the body and deviates from a purely cylindrical shape within at least the generally cylindrical range. For example, the cross-section may not be circular but may be slightly oval or elliptical, and may vary along the length of the elongated body. Furthermore, the outer surface may have recesses or protrusions that make it easier to grip and hold. Thus, the radius r can be considered as an intermediate, average, or median parameter of the cross-section. Moreover, the ends may be rounded so that the length can vary across the cross-section. Thus, the length L can be considered as an intermediate, average, or median parameter of the length across the cross-section.
[0019] The camera is held in a waterproof manner by means of a rear-facing window in the rear section. The camera body can be a waterproof case for a self-contained camera, which can be placed inside the body and removed from the body, or the camera body can be a housing for camera hardware that is fixedly mounted inside the body.
[0020] The camera assembly includes a wire attachment system configured to secure the body to a wire or filament, preferably in a manner that aligns the elongated body with continuous segments of the filament. In an exemplary embodiment, the wire attachment system is positioned at the lower part of the body. In other exemplary embodiments, the wire attachment system may be positioned at the upper part of the body or extend through the body, such as along the longitudinal central axis of the elongated body.
[0021] In an exemplary embodiment, the line attachment system includes an elongated tubular element, such as a tube, pipe, or hose. The tubular element may be attached to the lower part of a body, such as the body, extending at least generally parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the elongated body. The line attachment system may be configured to secure the body to a line segment by passing a line segment through the elongated tubular element. A stop, larger than the inner diameter of the tubular element, may then be attached to the line segment (at its rear end away from the tubular element) such that when the line is reeled in, the stop engages the rear end of the tube and pulls the camera assembly forward. The stop may be, for example, a swivel, a split shot sinker, or a knot. If the line segment breaks, the camera assembly can slide off the line segment and rise to the surface where it can be retrieved, thus this configuration of the line attachment system is advantageous.
[0022] When using the camera assembly, the main line or a separate section of the hook line, such as that attached to the main line or camera assembly (or to a tubular element or stop, if present), extends rearward from the camera assembly and can be attached to a lure including a hook. Thus, during the retrieval of the main line, the lure will follow the camera assembly.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the underwater camera assembly is not a lure, such as a lure including a fishing hook. In a preferred embodiment, the underwater camera assembly according to this disclosure does not include a fishing hook, nor does it include a fishing hook (such as directly attached to the body via a metal link). In an exemplary embodiment, the line attachment system is configured to secure the body to a line segment by passing a line segment through a tubular element, and any fishing hook may be attached to the line segment, such as in the form of a lure. Thus, no fishing hook is directly attached to the body, such as via a metal link.
[0024] Lures that use movement and vibration to simulate real prey, referred to in this paper as wobbling lures, pose a challenge to fishing cameras that need to be pulled in front of the lure and separated from it, as the movement and vibration are transferred to the fishing camera attached to the same line. Various types and categories of these wobbling lures exist, such as swirl lures, spoon lures, wobbling lures, plug lures, rotating lures, jerking lures, minnow lures, swimming lures, etc. An important design feature of fishing cameras is that the camera is stable when pulled through the water; that is, there is little or no wobbling, even when the wobbling lure is attached to the same line.
[0025] One way to reduce sway is to give the fishing camera a proportionally larger inertial mass than the swaying lure. This results in a proportionally smaller sway of the camera due to line jitter caused by the swaying lure. However, in sport and recreational fishing, the camera and lure are typically cast with a rod. For fishing rods, casting weight is the weight range (LED, lure, camera, etc.) within which the rod is designed to work, or the minimum and maximum weights that allow the user to cast the maximum distance. While most rods have a maximum casting weight of less than 100g, there are also dedicated large competition rods commercially available with casting weights up to 800g. Therefore, when designing a fishing camera, there are opposing goals: to make the camera as heavy as possible to reduce sway transfer from the lure and to be as light as possible to ensure compatibility with the widest possible range of fishing rods. The present invention aims to provide a lightweight fishing camera with high rod compatibility and reduced sway transfer from the lure. Therefore, the camera assembly includes a front tongue extending downward and forward from the lower part of the front end portion; and at least two stabilizers extending laterally from the upper rear end portion of the body, and optionally at least one stabilizer extending laterally from the lower rear end portion in a vertically downward direction. In the following, the terms "stabilizer," "fin," or "stabilizing fin" refer to at least two stabilizers extending laterally from the upper portion and optionally at least one stabilizer extending laterally from the lower portion in a vertical direction, whichever is applicable.
[0026] Another reason for using a lightweight camera is to obtain a camera assembly with positive buoyancy in water. With a heavier camera, the camera volume may have to be larger, which can result in greater drag and higher visibility for fish. In an exemplary embodiment, the camera assembly preferably has positive buoyancy in fresh water. In the event of a line failure, it will rise to the surface, giving the user an opportunity to retrieve the camera, thus positive buoyancy is advantageous.
[0027] Another challenge in fishing camera design is depth control during trolling. Most lures will have negative buoyancy and a given hydrodynamic shape, which, along with trolling speed, trolling regularity, and the angle of the line toward the water surface, control the trolling depth—that is, how far the lure will travel below the surface. Attaching a fishing camera, especially one with positive buoyancy, to the same line in front of the lure and separating it from the lure will drastically alter the depth control of the lure. To control trolling depth, the camera assembly includes a front tongue that extends downward and forward from the lower part of the front section and is configured to exert a downward force on the body as the assembly is pulled forward through the water.
[0028] As described above, the front tongue of the disclosed camera assembly provides two functions during its online and retraction phases:
[0029] a) It generates downforce, which balances the upward drag from the line and possible non-neutral buoyancy, as well as the camera assembly's stabilizer or blades, allowing the camera assembly to reach a given depth, and
[0030] b) It stabilizes the front end of the camera assembly to reduce sway transfer from the decoy and increase the stability of the camera assembly.
[0031] The tongue is known from a category of lures called wiggle lures; it is also commonly referred to as the lip, blade, leaf, or spoon. The tongue of a wiggle lure causes two effects when the lure is retrieved:
[0032] 1) It generates downforce, which causes the oscillating lure to hesitate and reach a given depth, and
[0033] 2) It causes the wobbling lure to perform a wobbling motion that mimics the swimming motion of a baitfish, which is also known as the lure's "game".
[0034] The tongue of a wiggling lure has four main parameters: length and width (area), angle, and construction. Generally, the longer the tongue, the greater the working depth of the wiggling lure. The wider the tongue, the larger its area, and the stronger the wobble of the wiggling lure becomes. However, lateral disturbance forces increase significantly with area, and in cases of insufficient stability, the wiggling lure may "flip" and lose its wobble or even be pushed to the surface. The maximum wiggling effect is achieved when the downward angle of the tongue is perpendicular to the direction of movement. The construction of the tongue is equally important for the movement of the wiggling lure. To better interact with oncoming water currents, the forward-facing surface of the wiggling lure's tongue is typically slightly concave.
[0035] Extensive testing has been conducted with tongues of varying constructions. If the downward slope of the front tongue is too gentle, the assembly will struggle to begin its descent and may "tumble" at the surface when pulled in. If the downward slope of the front tongue is too steep, the assembly can descend quickly but will behave as a wobbly decoy with a strong sideways movement that interferes with filming. Therefore, in the exemplary embodiment, the downward slope of the front tongue relative to the longitudinal central axis of the elongated body is between 5 and 30 degrees, preferably between 10 and 20 degrees.
[0036] Another variation in the testing of tongue structure involves symmetrically deflecting the upper surface of the inclined surface of the anterior tongue to the side and downwards, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3CIt has been found that these laterally and downwardly sloping surfaces have a further stabilizing effect. Therefore, in an exemplary embodiment, the upper surface of the front tongue includes a sloping surface portion that is symmetrically laterally and downwardly sloping from the front-central axis of the upper surface portion. The sloping surface serves to slightly convex the forward-facing upper surface portion of the tongue. In an exemplary embodiment, the downward angle of the sloping surface portion is between 5 and 25 degrees, preferably between 10 and 20 degrees.
[0037] The size of the tongue also varied during extensive testing of different tongue configurations. In an exemplary embodiment, the upper surface portion of the front tongue has a surface area A. t =(2r) 2 ±20%, such as A t =(2r) 2 ±50%.
[0038] Camera components include:
[0039] - At least two stabilizers that extend laterally from the rear end portion at an angle of symmetry between 10° and 80° with respect to the vertical direction, such as extending laterally from the upper part of the rear end portion; and
[0040] -At least one optional stabilizer that extends laterally from the rear end portion and in a vertical direction, such as extending vertically downward from the lower part of the rear end portion.
[0041] The at least two stabilizers and the at least one stabilizer preferably extend from the opposite upper / lower part of the rear end portion of the body, such as to form a "Y" shape or an inverted "Y" shape.
[0042] The stabilizer generates drag on the lateral movement and / or rolling of the rear end of the camera assembly, thereby reducing sway transfer from the decoy and increasing the stability of the camera assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, the stabilizer extends at least L from the rear end portion of the elongated body. s = 2r ± 20%. In an exemplary embodiment, the stabilizing device has a width W. s It can be described as the length along the longitudinal direction of the camera body. In an exemplary embodiment, W s =r ± 50%.
[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, at least two stabilizers are symmetrical about 45 to 75 degrees with respect to the vertical direction.
[0044] For additional depth control and stability, and potentially for adjusting pitch caused by the downward pressure of the front tongue, weights can be added to the downward stabilizer (when present). Thus, in an exemplary embodiment, at least one stabilizer includes a device for holding a weight between 2 and 20 grams, preferably 5 and 15 grams. This weight added to the downward stabilizer causes it to act as a keel to reduce roll and slightly increase the inertial mass of the camera assembly, which, as mentioned above, helps reduce sway transfer from the lure. However, too much added weight will increase the overall weight of the assembly and reduce rod compatibility.
[0045] During use, the line bay is "hooked" by any stabilizing fin. Therefore, in order to allow the line to easily "unhook" itself by sliding along the leading edge of the stabilizing fin, the leading edge of the stabilizing fin can be tilted backward.

[0048] exist Figures 2A to 2C An underwater camera assembly 1 is disclosed. The camera assembly 1 includes an elongated body 2.
[0049] For the purpose of reference to the position of the main body, the elongated main body 2 includes a front part FE and a rear part RE, such as Figure 2C The vertical solid lines in the diagram indicate the division. The elongated main body 2 also includes an upper part UP and a lower part LP, as shown in the diagram. Figure 2C The horizontal dashed lines in the diagram indicate the division.
[0050] For the purpose of indicating the length and radius of at least a generally cylindrical shape of the exemplary embodiment of the elongated body 2, Figure 2A A cylinder with length L and radius r is also shown. The dimensions of the camera assembly are balanced such that the assembly is as small as possible to reduce its inertial mass, drag during retraction, and visibility to the fish, but large enough to ensure easy operation even when exploring in cold temperatures and wearing gloves. In the exemplary embodiment, L ∈ [50 mm; 200 mm] and r ∈ [5 mm; 20 mm].
[0051] The main body holds the camera (not shown) in a waterproof manner, with the camera aperture (not shown) aligned with the rear-facing window 4 in the rear section RE, see also the figure depicting the camera.

[0053] exist Figures 2A to 2C In the camera assembly 1, a front tongue 10 extends downward and forward from the lower part LP of the front end portion FE. The front tongue 10 is arranged on the body 2 such that when the assembly 1 is pulled through the water in the forward direction 9, the front tongue generates a downward force on the body 2.
[0054] exist Figures 2A to 2C In the diagram, camera assembly 1 includes at least two stabilizers extending laterally from the upper UP of the rear end portion RE and at least one stabilizer 14 extending laterally from the lower LP of the rear end portion RE. At least two stabilizers 12 and at least one stabilizer 14 are included in all depictions of camera assembly 1. Embodiments including only one of the at least two stabilizers 12 or at least one stabilizer 14 are not shown. It should be understood that this is not intended to limit the claimed disclosure, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments with only stabilizers 12 can be implemented without departing from the scope of the claimed disclosure. Therefore, the specification and drawings are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.
[0055] Figures 3A to 3C These are perspective views, side views, and front views of the front tongue according to this disclosure. A portion of the front tongue 10 can be primarily used for attaching the tongue to the body and creating space for or integrating a wire attachment system. Therefore, the portion of the front tongue that generates a downward force on the body when pulled in the forward direction can be fitted to the upper surface portion 18 of the front tongue 10. Figure 3A Width W in t and length L t Limit it. Width W t and length L t The surface area A of the upper surface portion 18 is defined. t =W t x L t In an exemplary embodiment, the W of the front tongue... t =2r±20% to provide the required downforce without destabilizing the camera assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, the L of the front tongue t=2r±20% to provide the required downforce without destabilizing the camera assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, A of the front tongue t =(2r) 2 ±20%, such as ±50%, to provide the required downforce without destabilizing the camera components.

In an exemplary embodiment, c is between 10 and 80 degrees, such as between 45 and 75 degrees.
[0061] The size of stabilizer 12 is a balance between stabilizing the component by generating resistance to lateral movement and / or rolling, and generating more resistance to forward movement, increasing visibility to the fish, and increasing the risk of snagging the line. Figure 4B As shown, the stabilizer 12 extends from the upper part of the rear end portion of the elongated body by a length L. s In an exemplary implementation, L s =2r±20%. For example... Figure 4A As shown, the stabilizer 12 has a width W sIt can be described as the length along the longitudinal direction of the camera body. In an exemplary embodiment, W s =r ± 50%.

[0063] For stabilizer 12, the dimensions of stabilizer 14 are a balance between stabilizing the component by generating resistance to lateral movement and / or rolling, and generating more resistance to forward movement, increasing visibility to the fish and increasing the risk of snagging the line. Stabilizer 14 preferably has a width and length within the range given above for stabilizer 12.

[0066] It should be noted that the word "including" does not necessarily exclude the presence of other elements or steps besides those listed.
[0067] It should be noted that the words "a" or "an" preceding an element do not preclude the existence of multiple such elements.
[0068] Although features have been shown and described, it should be understood that they are not intended to limit the claimed disclosure, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the claimed disclosure. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive.
