Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to fishing tackle, and more particularly to a fishing hook having a bait holding mechanism.

Background Art

[0002] Using a typical fishing hook and bait with a long shank is particularly common in fishing. These types of fishing hooks require the angler to carefully hold the bait while inserting the tip of the fishing hook through its head or mouth area and orienting the body of the bait to enter and exit. Since the bait is small and can be slippery, a drawback of these typical fishing hooks is that when piercing or fixing the bait to the fishing hook, the angler's finger for gripping and guiding the small bait can be accidentally stabbed or punctured easily. Furthermore, since casting the fishing line into the water requires a sudden throwing motion, the bait impaled on these typical fishing hooks may come off during that motion or be easily thrown off the fishing hook before the fishing hook enters the water, and the angler will not know that the fishing hook has no bait until after a considerable amount of time has passed waiting for the angler to wind up the fishing line until the typical fishing hook comes out of the water.

[0003] Examples of fishing tackle designed to hold bait and lures include U.S. Patent No. 5,611,168 and U.S. Patent No. 10,143,188, which generally disclose a fishing lure having teeth consisting of upper and lower cylindrical jaws. However, this fishing tackle utilizes jaws that can be released by pulling the legs or jaws outward from each other to disengage the piercing teeth from the bait. Since the sensitive teeth for holding the bait are located on the jaws, a drawback is that there is also a risk that the angler's finger can be punctured by the teeth.

[0004] Another example is U.S. Patent Application No. 10 / 604,937, which concerns a fishing hook having a bait attachment clip. The clip is attached to the fishing hook, and a flexible sleeve can be detachably attached to the bait attachment clip in an operable position. However, the bait is not pierced by the clip, and a drawback of this fishing lure is that they do not hold the bait well and do not prevent bait loss.

[0005] Nothing discussed in this specification regarding prior art should be considered in any way as acknowledging that such prior art is widely known or forms part of the common general knowledge of the art. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] U.S. Patent No. 5,611,168 [Patent Document 2] U.S. Patent No. 10,143,188 [Patent Document 3] U.S. Patent Application No. 10 / 604,937 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] Providing fishing gear that makes it easy for people to place and secure bait could be an advantage. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] Another possible advantage is to provide a handle portion that can affect the opening of the shank portion having the food-holding teeth, so that a person's fingers do not come close to the teeth when placing the food in the food-receiving zone.

[0009] Another possible advantage is to provide a fishing device having a group of teeth for piercing or securing bait when placed in the bait receiving configuration or open configuration 128, thereby minimizing the risk of a person accidentally pricking their own finger when baiting the hook.

[0010] Another possible advantage is to provide a fishing lure having a curved shank portion that forms a convex shape to better receive and secure the bait.

[0011] Another advantage may be to provide fishing tackle having a biasing spring that can be selected in terms of size, in relation to the tension required to match the desired type of bait used.

[0012] Another potential advantage is that, in order to secure fishing tackle to the fishing line, the holes in the biasing spring can be used as a means to allow the fishing line to pass through and be tied.

[0013] Another advantage of using inline "J" hooks may be to comply with many local or state fishing regulations.

[0014] Another advantage of using stainless steel fishhooks for reuse is that they do not rust.

[0015] Another potential advantage may be constructing fishing gear from other rust-prone materials to comply with local or state fishing regulations.

[0016] Having two hooks could be another advantage in improving the ability to trap and catch fish.

[0017] Having a barb on the hook can be another advantage, as it improves the ability to trap and catch fish.

[0018] Another possible advantage is having different handle length sections to adjust the force a person can apply to press or pinch the device to transition it from a closed configuration to an open configuration.

[0019] Having retaining elements in the intersection region to hold the elongated members together can be another advantage.

[0020] Another advantage may be to secure the bait between the shank portions, where the secured bait is presented in a natural swimming position to entice the fish to bite by mimicking the natural movement of the bait and / or the movement of a wriggling bait.

[0021] Another advantage can be to provide fishing tackle that reduces the snagging or resistance to snagging from the fishing hook located at the second end of the fishing tackle. The positioning of the fishing hook is upward, thereby creating a smaller fishing hook drag.

[0022] Another advantage can be to provide reliability and ease of use such that the angler can secure the bait to the fishing tackle without knowing the correct way to thread the bait onto the fishing hook.

[0023] The object of the present invention is to overcome or mitigate at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art or to provide a useful alternative.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0051] Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying figures and non-limiting examples.

[0052] In embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 16, Figure 1 shows a fishing tackle 100 or fishing device 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The fishing tackle 100 may include a first elongated member 101 parallel to a second elongated member 103 that acts as a bait-holding arm. The first elongated member 101 and the second elongated member 103 are connected at a first end 109 to the respective ends 157 and 155 of a biasing spring 102. The first elongated member 101 and the second elongated member 103 each have a hook, which is a first hook 104 and a second hook 106 formed at the respective second ends 111. The fishing tackle 100 may have an intersection region 116 or handle bending portion 116 located between the first elongated member 101 and the second elongated member 103, positioned between the first end 109 and the second end 111. The intersection region 116 may be divided into a shank portion and a handle portion, with each elongated member 101 and 103 being separated.

[0053] More specifically, with respect to the first elongated member 101, the intersection region 116 separates the elongated member into a first shank portion 114 and a first handle portion 108, and with respect to the second elongated member 103, the intersection region 116 separates the elongated member into a second shank portion 115 and a second handle portion 108. A retaining element 140 may be present to fix the first elongated member 101 and the second elongated member 103 in the intersection region 106. The retaining element 140 may be circular as shown in Figures 1 to 3, or it may have retaining slots that allow the intersection region 116 to move inside until it reaches the bending regions 116 and 122 of the shank portions 114 and 115.

[0054] Each group of teeth in the first group of teeth 124 and the second group of teeth 125 has at least one tooth adapted to hold the bait in place. As shown in Figures 4 to 8, this illustrates how the groups of teeth 124, 125 penetrate and / or hold the bait 136 upon acceptance. The first group of teeth 124 from the first shank portion 114 may project out of the surface toward the second shank portion 115, and similarly, the second group of teeth 125 from the second shank portion 115 may project out of the surface toward the first shank portion 114.

[0055] The fishing tackle 100 may be operable between an open configuration 128 as shown in Figures 2 and 4 and a closed configuration 130 as shown in Figures 3 and 5. The open configuration 128 may be brought about by applying a compressive or pinching force, in which case, for example, a person's thumb may be engaged with the second handle portion 110 and a person's index finger may be engaged with the first handle portion 108, as shown in Figure 4. It can be understood that the first shank portion 114 will be moved away from the second shank portion 115 as long as the first handle portion 108 and the second handle portion 110 are moved relative to each other from a biased position. This open configuration 128 allows bait 136, shown as shrimp as an example, to be received into the bait receiving zone, so that when the bait 136 is between the first shank portion 114 having a first group of teeth 124 and the second shank portion 115 having a second group of teeth 125, the groups of teeth 124,125 help to hold and secure the bait 136. This is safer for the person attaching the bait to this fishing lure 100 compared to those that require passing the hook through the mouth and into the body of the bait.

[0056] This fishing tackle 100 reduces the risk of the hook potentially piercing a person's hand 132 or fingers while the bait is secured. Furthermore, the teeth 124, 125 help to secure and hold the bait 136 by piercing or thrusting into it, thereby preventing the force of the cast from throwing or tossing the bait 136 from the fishing tackle 100 when a person is fishing and needs to cast the fishing tackle 100 with the bait 136 secured into the water.

[0057] The shank portions 114 and 115 are biased toward each other in the closed position 130, so that when the bait 136 is received within the bait holding zone, the removal of the compressive or pinching force causes the biasing spring 102 to move the handle portions 108 and 110 away from each other to their original distance, which further moves the first shank portion 114 and the second shank portion 115 back to their original distance from each other.

[0058] In another preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the groups of teeth 124, 125 may have different configurations (not shown). The first group of teeth 124 from the first shank portion 114 may project at an angle toward the second shank portion 115. The angle may be acute or obtuse with respect to the length of the elongated member. The angled tooth configuration may assist a person in securing the food 136 as the person's hand 132 pushes the food into the zone. Most preferably, the angle of the first group of teeth is perpendicular to the first shank portion 114, where the first group of teeth 124 is oriented toward the second shank portion 115.

[0059] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the projections of the first group of teeth 124 may be aligned with the second group of teeth 125 which is perpendicular to the second shank portion 115, where the second group of teeth 125 may be oriented toward the first shank portion 114. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the projections of the first group of teeth 124 may be offset with respect to the second group of teeth 125 which is perpendicular to the first shank portion 114, where the first group of teeth 124 is oriented toward the second shank portion 115. Similarly, the projections of the second group of teeth 125 are also perpendicular to the second shank portion 115, where the second group of teeth 125 may be oriented toward the first shank portion 114.

[0060] It is preferable for the first group of teeth 124 to be equally spaced apart from each other so that the teeth 124 secure the bait 136 at equal points along the length of the bait 136. Similarly, the second group of teeth 125 from the second shank portion 115 are also equally spaced apart from each other so that the teeth 125 secure the bait 136 at equal points along the length of the bait 136 on the other side. It may be preferable to lengthwise decrease the length of the projections of the teeth 124 / 125 from the second end 111 toward the crossing region 116.

[0061] The biased spring 102 may have a first end 155 and a second end 157, the first end 109 of the first elongated member 101 being connected to the second end 157 of the biased spring 102, and the first end 109 of the second elongated member 115 being connected to the first end 155 of the biased spring 102. The biased spring 102 may also be a coiled portion at the first end 109, the profile of the coil hole 118 being in the same longitudinal plane as the fishing tackle 100. The coiled portion 102 may have one or more rings 159, the profile of each ring being in the same plane as the longitudinal axis of the fishing tackle 100. The holes 118 in the coil also serve to receive the fishing line inside and allow it to be tied through the holes 118, thereby securing the tied fishing gear 100 to the fishing line and preventing it from coming loose when a person casts the line into the water.

[0062] It will be understood that certain baits 136 need to be secured more tightly or loosely than others, and the tension of the spring can be adjusted or adapted for use in securing specific baits. For example, softer, more easily crushed baits may require sufficient tension, but not so much that they crush the bait 136 between the two shank portions 114, 115 when in the closed configuration 130 or bait-securing configuration 130. In this case, the biasing spring 102 may have a specific predetermined tension, which may be achieved by a larger spring 102 having a larger coil hole diameter 118 to reduce the tension. For example, larger and more robust baits 136, such as small fish 146, may require higher tension to grip and secure the bait 136 to the fishing tackle 100. In this case, the biasing spring 102 may have a specific higher predetermined tension by using a smaller spring 102 having a smaller coil hole diameter 118 to reduce the tension. Non-limiting examples of bait types 136 suitable for use with fishing tackle 100 are shown in Figures 6 to 8.

[0063] The two parts of the device 100 generate a force or tension to close each side in order to secure and hold the bait. By selecting the size of the spring 102, the tension can be selected or preferred for use with a particular bait 136. This is important in determining how much force is required to hold the bait 136 by the hand 132 while allowing it to be easily opened by the second hand 134.

[0064] For example, as shown in Figure 15, the shorter the handle lengths 108, 110 between the biasing spring 102 and the intersection region 116, the greater the compressive or pinching force required for a person to open the shank portions 114, 115 128. For example, as shown in Figure 15, when the handle portions are shorter (than the fishing gear in Figure 16), a greater compressive or pinching force is required. As shown in Figure 16, when the handle portions 108, 110 are longer (than the fishing gear in Figure 15), a smaller compressive or pinching force is required.

[0065] It is preferable and may be advantageous to have a curved first shank portion 114, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, which allows for better fitting and / or retention of the bait 136 compared to a straight shank portion. The lengths of the first shank portion 114 and the second shank portion 115 may have a convex profile.

[0066] Fishing tackle 100 may be constructed from a material selected from the group of steel, stainless steel, and galvanized steel. In local or state jurisdictions where the use of stainless steel fishing tackle 100 is permitted, stainless steel is useful when anglers spend a lot of time fishing in saltwater and can make the fishing tackle 100 last longer. While some local or state jurisdictions permit the use of stainless steel fishing tackle or hooks for fishing, certain local or state jurisdictions prohibit stainless steel for the welfare of fish, as stainless steel hooks can become lodged in the throat of fish if the fishing line is cut by a person or fisherman. Due to the rust-resistant properties of stainless steel, if a hook becomes lodged in the throat of a fish, it will not degrade within the fish's body in a short enough time that the fish can survive. Therefore, fishing tackle may be constructed from rust-prone materials such as pure iron, steel, and galvanized steel, which may comply with specific national and / or local or state fishing regulations. Fishing tackle may be constructed from high-carbon steel, but carbon steel fishing tackle is stronger than stainless steel. When catching large, strong fish, the advantage of carbon steel is that it can bend under significant strain, whereas stainless steel fishing tackle at the hook end can break. Other materials, such as fishing tackle constructed from vanadium alloy steel, which is lighter than steel and offers greater strength, may be preferable.

[0067] As shown in Figure 1, the first hook 104 and the second hook 106 may each have at least one barb 126 below the tip of the hook. The barb 126 can prevent the hook 104 / 106 or the hooks 104, 106 from coming out of the fish's mouth. While barbed hooks can improve fishing success, if the fish comes off the hook on its own, the barb 126 is more likely to permanently injure the fish. If a fish is destroyed by a barbed hook, the hook must wait until it rusts off rather than eventually fall out. Some countries and / or some local or state regulations may not have rules regarding the use of barbed hooks, but this fishing tackle 100 may have a barb 126 near the tip of the hook 112 for use in countries or waters within the jurisdiction of countries that do not prohibit this use. In areas or states where rules prohibit the use of barbed hooks, examples of barbless hooks, as shown in Figures 13-16, can also be manufactured to suit use within those specific areas.

[0068] As shown in Figure 11, the hook may be a "J" hook, and the hook may be in a straight line with the shank portion, or it may be offset. It can be understood that other non-limiting hook shapes such as Aberdeen hooks, bait hooks, and round hooks may be used. A slightly offset hook may improve the hooking rate for anglers or fishermen, but local or state laws may require the use of straight hooks and may not permit offset hooks.

[0069] Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific examples, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in many other forms, in accordance with the broader principles and the spirit of the invention as described herein.

[0070] The present invention and the preferred embodiments described herein specifically include at least one feature that is industrially applicable.
