Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional fishing assemblies face challenges with the added weight of hooked fish causing loose or broken connections, and separate nets are difficult to carry and store with other fishing equipment, leading to organizational issues and potential loss.

Innovation Solution

A fishing assembly that integrates a collapsible net assembly within a housing coupled to the fishing pole, featuring a net release mechanism for easy access and portability, allowing the net to be selectively removed and expanded/collapsed configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a net is provided separately from the fishing pole, then the net can be used to capture fish, but the net is difficult to carry in combination with other fishing equipment and presents organizational challenges

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessVSAvoidorganizational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the net assembly with the fishing pole by providing a housing on the fishing pole that receives and stores the collapsible net assembly. This merging eliminates the need to carry separate nets and other fishing equipment, simplifying organization and improving ease of access while maintaining the net's functionality for capturing fish.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Device complexity

If the net is made collapsible for storage, then the net can be easily stored and carried, but the net may become lost or separated from the fishing pole

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage simplicityVSAvoidnet retention
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The collapsible net assembly is nested within a housing that is coupled to the fishing pole. The housing provides a dedicated storage space that retains the net assembly when not in use, preventing loss or separation while allowing easy access and deployment when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Ease of operation

If the net is integrated with the fishing pole, then the net is easier to carry and store, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The net assembly is designed as a separate, collapsible module that can be independently folded and stored within the housing on the fishing pole. This segmentation allows the net to be easily attached and detached while maintaining a compact form factor, improving portability without significantly increasing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A fishing assembly includes a fishing pole and a housing coupled to the fishing pole. The housing defines a cavity sized to receive a collapsible net assembly therein. The fishing assembly further includes a net release mechanism for releasing the net assembly from the cavity. The net release mechanism is configured to engage the housing and is selectively releasable to disengage with the housing to allow the net assembly to be removed from the housing.
