Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing lures are complex and environmentally harmful, lacking precision and depth control when used with fishing rods, and often fail to attract specific fish species effectively.
Innovation Solution
An inline fishing lure made from amorphous glass with a specific density range, featuring a through-going opening and symmetrical or asymmetrical design, which allows for precise control over depth and attraction of fish species like salmon and trout, using a body shape that moves effectively through water.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional fishing lures use complex structures with separate blades and weights, then the lure can achieve oscillation and depth control, but the device complexity increases and environmental harm worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the blade and weight into a single integrated body made of glass material with density between 2.000 and 2.900 kg/m³. The body itself provides both the oscillating blade function and the weight function, eliminating the need for separate components while maintaining depth control and oscillation capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The glass body serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the oscillating blade that attracts fish, provides the weight for depth control, and offers environmental safety through biodegradability. This multi-functional design reduces overall device complexity while maintaining effectiveness.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If traditional fishing lures use non-biodegradable materials, then the lure durability improves, but environmental harm increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the potential harm of lost lures polluting the environment into a benefit by using biodegradable glass material. When the lure is lost or discarded, it naturally degrades in the environment, turning from a harmful persistent object into an environmentally friendly material that breaks down harmlessly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the material parameter from traditional non-biodegradable plastics or metals to biodegradable glass with specific density properties. This parameter change maintains the lure's functional durability during use while enabling environmental degradation after its service life, resolving the contradiction between durability and environmental harm.
3Measurement precision
If the lure body is made with specific density and shape, then depth control precision improves, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies a density range (2.000-2.900 kg/m³) rather than a single precise value, and defines dimensional relationships (length ≥ 1.5 × width, length ≥ 5 × height) rather than exact measurements. This approach allows manufacturing flexibility while ensuring the lure achieves proper depth control and hydrodynamic performance.
