Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in means ~or holding, storing or displaying i'lshing lures and ~lgs.
i , Conventlonally, su¢h jigs are placed in trays in a tackle box or, alternatively, engaged by one barbed hook there-oi within the suri'ace Or a sheet or panel o~ rigld loam mate-rlal. Further way o~ displaying such lures or jigs i'or sale ls to engage a barbed hook over a transversely extending rod.
~ While the rigid ~oam sheet provides one method oi' storing ~ishing lures or ~igs, nevertheless each time one is dlsengaged ~rom the sheet, a portion o~ the sheet is normally broken away due, to the barbed hook i'ormation o~ the hook element.
~1~6~W
Insofar as trays and transverse rods are concerned, the lures are readily engaged one with the other so that the barbed hooks tangle and furthermore some danger is encountered when attempting to disengage an individual lure or jig from a plurality of lures and jigs tangledtogether.
Insofar as the transverse rod is concerned, any ver-tical vibration or movement readily disengages the lures from the rod and furthermore they can slide sideways into engagement one with the other.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present device overcomes these disadvantages and in accordance with the invention there is provided a holding de-vice for freely suspending jigs and lures which include a barb-ed hook element secured thereto, said element having at least one hook prong; said device comprising a substantially rigid planar support means and at least one hook prong engaging aper-ture formed clear through said support means, the upper edge of the support means defining said aperture inclining outwardly, downwardly and rearwardly from the plane of the support means for preventing inadvertent disengagement of the associated prong engaged through said aperture.
In accordance with a further embodiment of the inven-tion there is provided a holding device for freely suspending jigs and lures which includes a barbed hook element secured thereto, said element having at least one hook prong; said de-vice comprising an apertured planar panel of substantially rigid material, the apertures including an outwardly and downwardly 1~6133 extending shroud formed on and extending from the upper edge of said planar panel defining said aperture.
Still another advantage of the invention is to pro-vide a device of the character herewithin described in which the planar panels can be stored in the tackle box, or alterna-tively, can be mounted to hinge outwardly by one edge thereof so that a plurality of such panels can be utilized.
A yet further advantage of the invention is to provide a device of the character herewithin described which is simple in operation, economical in manufacture and otherwise well suit-ed to the purpose for which it is designed.
With the foregoing in view, and other such advantages as will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates as this specification proceeds, my inven-tion consists essentially in the arrangement and construction of parts all as hereinafter more particularly descri~ed, re-ference being had to the accompanying drawings in which:
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Figure 1 is a front elevation of one embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is an end elevation of Figure 1 takenfrom the righthand end thereof.

~il6133 Figure 4 is a fragmentary enlarged isometric view showing one of the rectangular apertures.
_ . .
~i~6~33 Figure 5 is an enlarged front elevation showing one of the oval apertures.
In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
DETAILED D~SCRIPTION
Proceeding therefore to describe the invention in de-tail, reference character 10 illustrates a planar panel of rigid material such as metal or the like. It will be appre-ciated that the dimensions of these panels may vary depending upon the design thereof and although the panel is shown to be rectangular in the drawings, other shapes can be utilized.
In this particular embodiment, hinged sleeves 11 are formed on one vertical edge 12 by which the panel may be hinged to a vertical support (not illustrated) if desired.
Two embodiments of the invention are illustrated.
Dealing with the first embodiment, this takes the form of a plurality of rectangularly shaped apertures 13 formed clear through the panel 10. In the present embodiment, two rows of these rectangular apertures are provided, the apertures being in side by side relationship one with the other as clearly illustrated.
11~6133 These apertures are preferably formed by striking out a portion of the panel identified by reference character 14 and leaving this struck out portion as an outwardly and downwardly extending shroud or roof, the lower edge 15 of which is spaced outwardly from the face 16 of the panel.
It is desirable but not necessary that these struck out portions be on alternate sides or faces of the panel as shown in Figure 1.
The lower edge 15 of the struck out portion is spaced from the lower edge 17 of the panel defining the apertures, by an amount sufficient to enable a hook prong 18 of a barbed hook element 19, to be engaged therebetween.
Due to the curvature of the hook prong 19, it is ob-viously impossible to engage same through one of the apertures with the lure 20 being in the vertical position shown in Figure 1.
Rather the barbed hook element has to be held substan-tially horizontally to the upper or lower edges 20 of the panel whereupon it ~ay be manipulated through the rectangular aper-ture 13 and then turned through approximately 90 so that the lure hangs vertically with the hook prong 18 engaged overthe aforementioned lower edge 17. Depending upon the size of the barbed hook element, the upper curve 21 of the hook prong will be spaced slightly below the curved face 22 of the struck out portion 14 so that any upward movement of the lure in the direction of arrow 23, will cause the lure to strike this curved surface 22 thus moving the hook element in the direction of the arrow 24 and preventing disengagement.
To disengage, of course, the hook element has to be rotated through approximately 90 so that it can be manipula-ted from the aperture.
It is desirable that the outwardly and downwardly ex-tending portions 14 be on alternate sides of the panel 10 so that lures may hang on alternate sides and be spaced from one another by at least the space in between alternate apertures.
Figure 5 shows the details of an alternative embodi-ment in which the aperture 26 is substantially oval when viewed in front elevation. The aperture originally may be drilled circular, but when formed as will hereinafter be described, it assumes a substantially oval configuration. In this embodi-~il6~33 ment, the upper edge 27 of the panel material defining the aperture 26 is displaced outwardly upon one side of the panel and the lower edge 28 is displaced outwardly upon the opposite side of the panel. This may be accomplished by inserting a rod of a similar diameter to the original aperture through the aper-ture so that it extends at right angles to the plane o~ the panel 10 whereupon the rod is displaced angularly in a vertical plane thus displacing the material to take up the position shown in the drawings.
Once again this forms a roof or ledge 27~ which pre-vents inadvertent displacement of the hook once it is in the position shown in Figure 3. However, depending upon th~ size of the hook element, it will have to be placed through the aperture 26 as shown in phantom in Figure 3 whereupon it can be rotated through 180 to hang with the inner curvature of the hook element engaging the lower edge 28 of the aperture 26. Once again upward movement of the hook element in the direction of arrow 23, will cause the outer curved surface of the hook to strike the u~er edge 27 of the aperture thus forcing it inwardly and upwardly in the direction of arrow 24 and preventing inadvertent disengagement.
Depending upon the size and curvature of the barbed hook components, the various lures can be inserted through the apertures 13 from one side or the other and will be re-~16~33 tained once they are hanging verticallyJ against inadvertentdisplacement from the panel unless they are specifically mani-pulated to undertake disengagement.
Since various modifications can be made in my invention as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely different embodiments of same made within the spirit and scope of the claims without departing from such spirit and scope, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying speci-fication shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense,
