Abstract
A B S T R A C T
A device for connecting a snood to a fishing line including a sleeve defining an aperture through which the fish-ing line can pass and having flanges at opposite ends thereof and a substantially cylindrical outer surface extending between the flanges. A tubular member defines a substantially cylindri-cal aperture whose diameter is substantially equal to that of the substantially cylindrical outer surface, whereby the tubular member can be fitted about the sleeve to rotate with respect thereto, being retained against movement along the sleeve by the flanges. The tubular member has a radially-projecting por-tion and the device also includes a snood attachment portion for connection to the snood. One of these portions is of generally cylindrical form and has two opposed lugs projecting radially therefrom, and the second portion is elastic and defines an opening corresponding to the diameter of the first portion.
The first portion can be inserted into the opening of the second portion and the second portion can be forced over the lugs of the first portion.

Description
69~L
This invention relates to a device for connecting a snood to a fishing line.
Fishing lines, especially long lines, usually have snoods permanently fixed to the line. This makes handling of the line cumbersome and time consuming, particularly because a fisherman has to take great care not to get the fish hook tangled in the line.
Many detachable snoods are known, but few have any practical value. Some employ a key hole slot into which the line is pressed and where it remains fixed due to friction.
Others are shaped in such a way that the line is forced into a Z shaped pattern when the snood is pulled-parallel to the line, thereby further locking the snood to the line. Such joints are usually made from steel wire, often stainless steel wire. Such joints do not act as a swivel. If the line rotates, the snoods will be wound around the line, which is highly undesirable and is likely to complicate-the subsequent handling of the line.
A joint with a built-in swivel motion is known but is not C2p-able of readv detachment and attachment.
An object of the invention is therefore to provide a device which can easily be detached and attached and which acts as a swivel.
According to the invention, a device for connecting a snood to a fishing line comprises a sleeve defining an aper-ture through wich the fishing line can pass and having flanges at opposite ends thereof and a substantially cylindrical outer surface extending between the flanges; a tubular member defining a substantially cylindrical aperture whose diameter is substan-tially equal to that of said substantially cylindrical outer surface, whereby the tubular member can be fitted about the " $~ ' ' &1694~
sleeve to rotate with respect thereto, being retained against movement along the sleeve by said flanges, the tubular member having a radially-projecting portion; a snood attachment por-tion for connection to the snood, one of said portions being of generally cylindrical form and having two opposed lugs project-ing radiall~ therefrom, and the other of said portions being elastic and defining an opening corresponding to the diameter of said one portion, whereby said one portion can be inserted into the opening of said other portion and said other portion can be forced over the lugs of said one portion.
The said one portion may be the radially projecting portion of the tubular member, with the said other portion being the snood attachment portion, although of course the reverse arrangement may be provided if desired.
One embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
Figure l(a) shows in assembled form a device for . connecting a snood to a fishing line;
Figure l(b) shows the various parts of the device of .
Figure l(a) when disassembled;
Figures 2 and 3 illustrate operation of the device;
and Figure 4 snows part of a machine for automatically detaching a snood connected to a fishing line by means of the device illustrated in Figure l(a).
The device shown in Figure l(a) forms a detachable joint between the snood 12 and the line 10 and consists of a sleeve l, a stud 2 with lugs 4 and an elastic ring 3. The ring q ~694~
3 is prevented from being pulled over the lugs 4 on the stud ~ by the snood due to the special shape of the ring, because the force acts on the ring at a point well to the side of its center causing a twisting movementj see Figure 2, which tends to lock the ring in position. If the ring should be pulled over one of the lugs, see Figure 3, then the force from the snood will act diagonally and lock the ring in position under the opposite lug and stop the ring from being pulled loose.
The sleeve 1 comprises a single member which is partly split at la to enable it to be fitted about the line 10. The stud 2 also comprises a single member which is partly split at 2a to enable it to be fitted about the sleeve 1.
Figure 4 shows a possible way of automatically de-taching the snood from the line. The ring 3 rests against two flanges while the stud is pressed through the ring. This appara-tus can for instance consist of two spring loaded wheels, one of which 5 isshaped as a line hauler sheave with flanges 11 for the ring 3, but with sufficient room for the sleeve 1 and the stud 2 to be pressed into the wedge shaped groove 6 while the ring 3 is held back by the flanges.
The stud is pressed through the ring by the spring loaded wheel 7 which has its periphery~shaped to fit the curva-ture of the stud. Knots and other obstructions on the line will pass unhindered because the wheel 7 will give way due to its spring loaded support. This apparatus can be linked with another apparatus which collects the detached snoods and accu-mulates them in such a way that subsequent handling is easily facilitated.
