Fishing Lure Swing Member Elastic Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fishing lures with light-reflecting objects sealed in liquid fail to provide a reliable and sustainable luring effect due to sluggish movement, which limits their effectiveness in attracting fish.
Innovation Solution
A fishing lure design featuring a main body with a cavity, elastic members, and a swing member that is visible and supported by the elastic members, allowing for smooth and continuous movement and reflection of light in various directions, with optional weight and diverse geometric configurations to enhance visibility and movement range.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a light-reflecting object is sealed together with liquid in the main body, then light reflection is achieved, but the movement is sluggish and the luring effect is unreliable
Solution Approach 1:
The light-reflecting object is divided into multiple independent swing members that can move separately, each supported by elastic members. This segmentation allows each component to move more freely and rapidly compared to a single sealed object, improving movement speed and the reliability of the luring effect through multiple moving reflective surfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The swing members are designed to be dynamically movable rather than fixed, supported by elastic members that allow rapid oscillation and movement. This dynamic configuration enables the swing members to respond quickly to water current and lure movement, creating more reliable and sustained light reflection patterns that attract fish.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple swing members are supported by elastic members, then movement range and light reflection are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic members serve multiple functions: they support the swing members, provide the restoring force for oscillation, allow range of motion, and dampen movements. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while still achieving improved movement range and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic members act as flexible elements that replace rigid support structures. These flexible components allow the swing members to move through a range of motions while maintaining structural integrity, achieving versatile movement without the complexity of rigid mechanical joints or multiple support structures.
3Illumination intensity
If the swing member is made visible from outside the main body portion, then light reflection and fish attraction are enhanced, but the space utilization within the main body is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The swing members extend outward from the main body portion into the surrounding water, utilizing the three-dimensional space outside the main body rather than only internal space. This dimensional extension allows the reflective surfaces to be highly visible to fish approaching from various directions without compromising the compact internal structure and space utilization of the main body.
