Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fishing lures do not allow for simultaneous effective use of crank bait, spinner blade, and spinnerbait jig components without interference, limiting their individual actions and overall fishing performance.

Innovation Solution

A fishing lure assembly featuring a fixture wire that couples and spaces crank bait lure, spinner blade, and spinnerbait jig apart, providing a common connection point for securing to a fishing line, allowing each component to perform its specific action without interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple lure components (crank bait, spinner blade, spinnerbait jig) are combined in a single assembly, then fishing effectiveness is improved through multiple actions, but the components interfere with each other's individual actions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefishing effectivenessVSAvoidcomponent interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The lure assembly is segmented into distinct components (crank bait, spinner blade, spinnerbait jig) that are spatially separated along the wire structure. Each component occupies a different zone in the water, allowing independent action without interference while maintaining combined effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The components are arranged in three-dimensional space along a wire structure with specific spacing, transitioning from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional configuration. This spatial arrangement in multiple dimensions allows each component to operate independently without interfering with others.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple lure components are attached to a single fishing line, then fishing versatility is enhanced, but the components cannot perform their specific actions effectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelure component varietyVSAvoidcomponent action effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The assembly divides the lure system into separate functional segments connected by a wire structure, with each segment (crank bait, spinner blade, spinnerbait jig) maintaining its specific action characteristics while being part of a unified assembly attached to a single fishing line.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wire structure acts as an intermediary element that connects the fishing line to multiple lure components, transmitting force and motion while allowing each component to perform its specific action independently through the mediating wire structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If lure components are placed close together for compactness, then the assembly is more manageable, but the components interfere with each other's operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly compactnessVSAvoidoperational interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Rather than compacting components in a single plane, the invention arranges them along a three-dimensional wire structure with optimized spacing, utilizing spatial distribution in multiple dimensions to achieve a balance between manageability and operational independence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The compact assembly is achieved through segmentation of components along the wire structure with deliberate spacing, creating a compact overall form factor while maintaining functional separation through the segmented arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
