Fishing Line Spooling Assembly with Slidable Window
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing line devices lack an efficient mechanism for spooling fishing line onto a reel without tangling, and they often fail to provide secure storage for multiple spools.
Innovation Solution
A fishing line spooling device featuring a bracket with attachable panels, a rotatable screw for securing the spool, a slidable window with a line hole for winding the line around a reel, and upwardly extending screws for additional spool storage, along with friction-enhancing pads to prevent sliding and hooks for tool support.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple box structure is used to hold the spool, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ability to prevent line tangling and ensure smooth spooling is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional segments: a bracket for structural support, panels that define the spool space, a slidable window for line guidance, and screws for spool retention. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, preventing line tangling while maintaining overall structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The window with the line hole acts as an intermediary element between the spool and the reel. It guides the fishing line through a controlled path, ensuring smooth spooling without tangling. This intermediary component adds minimal complexity but significantly improves spooling reliability.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple spools are stored in the same space, then the storage capacity is increased, but the space required for each individual spool is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The device utilizes vertical space by extending screws upwardly from the bracket to support additional spools. This vertical arrangement allows multiple spools to be stored in a compact footprint, increasing storage capacity without significantly increasing the horizontal space occupied by the device.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket and screw assembly serve multiple functions: they provide structural support for the main spool, offer additional storage for multiple spare spools, and maintain an organized arrangement. This multi-functionality increases the effective storage capacity without requiring proportionally more space.
3Device complexity
If the window is fixed in position, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation for line guidance is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The window is made slidable rather than fixed, allowing it to move horizontally along the panels. This dynamic feature enables the user to adjust the window position to optimize line guidance during spooling operations, improving ease of operation while adding minimal complexity through simple sliding mechanisms.

AI summary
A fishing line spooling assembly includes a bracket that can be positioned on a support surface and a pair of panels attached to the bracket. A first screw is extendable through each of the panels to rotatably retain a spool of fishing line between the panels. A window is slidable into each of the panels such that the window defines a front threshold of a spool space defined between the panels. The window has a line hole extending through the window thereby facilitating fishing line on the spool of fishing line to be extended through the line hole thereby facilitating the fishing line to be wound around a reel of a fishing pole. A pair of second screws is each coupled to and extends upwardly from the lower portion of the bracket thereby facilitating a respective spool of fishing line positioned on the second screws for storage.
