Spherical Feed Basket with Through-Holes for Angling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing feed baskets are either cumbersome to attach and detach or require complex device technology for anchoring, and they lack flexibility and reusability.
Innovation Solution
A lightweight, water-resistant feed basket with through-holes for easy attachment to a fishing line or 'hair' and a porous structure for absorbing and releasing attractants, featuring a spherical design with opposite assembly recesses for simplified handling and refilling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the feed basket is made of water-resistant material and designed to sink to the bottom, then it can be anchored or hooked using folding brackets, but the device technology complexity increases due to the folding brackets
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the complex folding bracket mechanism entirely and replaces it with simple through-holes in the basket that allow direct attachment to the fishing line. This extracts the unnecessary complexity while preserving the anchoring function.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using active mechanisms (folding brackets that deploy and lock), the invention uses passive through-holes that simply allow the line to pass through and secure the basket. This inverts the approach from active anchoring to passive attachment.
2Productivity
If the feed basket is attached to the fishing line after ejection, then it can release food as a lure, but the effort increases from attaching a new feed basket after each ejection and release
Solution Approach 1:
The through-holes serve multiple functions: they allow the basket to be attached to the fishing line, enable the line to pass through for positioning, and facilitate easy detachment and reattachment. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for specialized attachment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system is made dynamic and flexible, allowing the angler to quickly attach and detach the basket as needed. The simple through-hole design enables rapid reconfiguration compared to fixed or complex attachment systems.
3Reliability
If the feed basket has a heavy weight to sink to the bottom, then it can be anchored there, but the flexibility when attached to fishing line or hair is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The basket is designed with separate through-holes that allow independent attachment methods. The basket can be attached to hair (requiring minimal weight) or fishing line (where more weight helps), providing segmentation of attachment options based on the specific fishing technique.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention allows parameter changes in the attachment system - the same basket can be used with different line types and weights depending on the fishing situation. The through-holes accommodate various attachment scenarios without requiring the basket to be optimized for a single weight class.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The feed basket offers enhanced flexibility, reusability, and improved fish attraction through its design, allowing easy attachment and detachment, and repeated filling, while maintaining a low device technology complexity.
Implementation Method 1
the plastic has a pore structure so that it can absorb, store and release up to 15% of its own weight in liquid. The liquid is preferably an attractant, such as a fragrance
