Fishing Lure Connector Threaded Line Trap
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Amateur fishermen face difficulties in affixing fishing lures or bait hooks to fishing lines due to lack of knot-tying skills, fine motor issues, and adverse weather conditions, leading to frequent line breakages and inefficiencies in fishing trips.
Innovation Solution
A fishing lure connector apparatus featuring a male/female threaded connection between a pole side base and a lure side base, which traps a length of fishing line without the need for knots, using a male threaded member and a female threaded socket, with optional line stabilizers like slots or holes to secure the line.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional knot-tying methods are used to affix lures to fishing lines, then the attachment can be secure, but the operation becomes difficult and time-consuming for amateur fishermen
Solution Approach 1:
A connector device serves as an intermediary between the fishing line and the lure, replacing the need for direct knot-tying. The connector includes a line receptacle that receives the fishing line and a lure receptacle that attaches to the lure, with threaded connections providing secure attachment without requiring fisherman skill in knot-tying.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system is divided into separate components: a connector device with distinct line and lure receptacles, allowing each component to be optimized independently. The line receptacle handles line management while the lure receptacle handles lure attachment, simplifying the overall operation.
2Reliability
If knot-tying is used to attach lures, then secure attachment can be achieved, but the process requires fine motor skills that children and the elderly lack
Solution Approach 1:
The connector device acts as a mechanical intermediary that performs the attachment function without requiring manual dexterity. Users simply need to thread the line through the receptacle and tighten the threaded connection, operations that do not demand fine motor skills.
Solution Approach 2:
The threaded connection mechanism is self-adjusting and self-securing. Once the line is threaded through the receptacle and the lure is attached, the user simply tightens the threads to secure the connection, with the mechanism itself providing the securing action rather than requiring complex manual manipulation.
3Reliability
If knot-tying is used in adverse weather conditions, then attachment can be made, but the difficulty increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The connector device provides a weather-resistant intermediary structure with enclosed receptacles that protect the line attachment point from environmental factors. The threaded connection and stabilizer features ensure secure attachment regardless of weather conditions.
4Productivity
If frequent line breakages occur due to improper knot-tying, then fishing trips become inefficient, but time is lost breaking and re-attaching lines
Solution Approach 1:
The connector device serves as a reliable intermediary that eliminates the variability and failure associated with improper knot-tying. The standardized threaded connection and line stabilizing features ensure consistent, secure attachments that prevent line breakages and reduce the need for frequent line replacements.
