Description
AN ASSEMBLY ON AN APPARATUS FOR HAULING IN AND
WINDING UP A FISHING LINE WITH ATTACHED SNELLS.
_________ ___________ ___________..___________ The present invention relates to an assembly on an apparatus for hauling in and coiling up a fishing line with attached snells and hook.s.
The traditional way of fishing with lines in Norway has been to bait the lines manually, store them in tubs, and set the lines in the sea directly from the tubs.
This way of fishing, however, can no longer be practiced today, as it requires both too much time and too many personnel~ and thus is much to expensive.
Therefore, especially in the past twenty years or so, a number of attempts have been made to automate both the baiting and setting of fishing lines, as well as their retrieval~
Norwegian Patent No. 104.806, for example, describes an apparatus for setting and hauling in fishing lines, the assembly comprising a reel or drum for winding and unwinding the line as it is being pulled in and set outr respectively, wherein hook magazines are provided, evenly distributed about the circumference of the reel which are intended to receive ths hooks as the line is hauled in and wound around the reel, and wherein the line, prior to passing onto the winding means, passes a set of ~rushes which serve to clean the hooks and straighten out the snells. In addition, this patent describes special means for controlling the line and attached hooks in such manner that the hooks are brought into the correct position in relation to the hook magazine.
Norwegian Patent No. 129.074 also describes a means for continuous preparation of hook-carrying snells on a fishing line.
Norwegian Patent No. 127.086 describes a methocl for unwinding entanaled hook-carrying snells on a fishing line by means of a rotatina magnetic field.
The assemblies in the prior art have not found wide practical application, for the reason that they either are unnecessarily complicated, are not reliable enough, require too many personnel or too much space, or are too expensive.

According to the present invention there is provided an assembly on an apparatus for hauling in and winding up a fishing line with attached snells and hooks, comprising a hook aligner, a hook guide and a driven drum with hook magazines and hook trapping means provided on one of the drum flanges, characterized in that the hook guide comprises a hook holder which is slidably disposed on a rail and which is spring hiased opposite to the direction of the incoming line, one end of said rail being pivotally mounted and the o-ther end being arranged for movement from a hook-receiver position to a hook-delivery position, the assembly also including a pulley arranged in the vicinity of the pivot point of the rail for guiding the line back, so that it may be coiled on the drum, the snell drawing the hook holder along with it in the direction of tne incom.ing line and during this being held taut, further that the snell after having passed around the pulley permits the hook holder to be pulled back along the rail by the spring bias, said rail during the to-and-fro movement of the hook holder pivoting toward the periphery of the drum flange, where one of the hook trapping means provided on the margin of the drum flange guides the hook onto one of the hook magazines.
The invention will be further illustrated by the accompanying drawing, wherein FIGURE 1 is a schematic view of the asembly of the invention, in side view, and FIGURE 2 shows the same assembly seen from above.
When the fishing line is being hauled in, the fish are taken off the hooks and the line passes first through a washing bin (not illustrated). In the latter, the hooks are captured and are pulled by means of the line 7 which passes over a pulley 6 into a hook aligner 10 .
In a manner known per se, the hook is then oriented with the tip downward.
Following such orientation, the hook is drawn into a hook guide with a spring-loaded hook holder 1. The hook holder slides on a rail 3 which can be pivoted in the horizontal plane about a point 4 adjacent the end of the rail that is located downstream in the as-sembly in relation to the direction of movement of the line as it is being hauled in.
As the point of attachment of the snell 8 to the fishing line 7 passes over the pulley 6, the snell passes beneath the pulley. To ensure that this occurs in a satisfac-tory manner, the lower flange of the pulley is provided with grooves which capture the snell when the snell forms an angle relative to the pulley.
After having passed around the pulley, the line is wound onto a vertically-disposed drum 11. At this point in time, the point of attachment for the snell to the line has passed the pulley and the spring-loaded hook holder 1 guides the hook with the snell held -taut toward the lower flange of -the drum, which in a manner known per se is provided with hook magazines.
At the same time as the point of attachment for the snell on the line is guided toward, or perhaps is loca-ted at, the pulley, the rail pivots from the hook-receiver position ~3 (shown in phantom in Fig. 2) in alignment with the hook aligner 10 into a hook-delivery position 5 for transferring the hook to the hook magazines in the lower flange of the drum.
Here, the rail is locked by means of a locking mecha-nism until the hook has been captured by saw-tooth-like hook trap means 15 at the outer end of the hook magazines.
The hook holder thus stops at a definite point and at such an angle that the trapping means on the hook magazine can easily pluck the hook out of the hook holder. This is obtained in that the hook holder is provided with a guide pin 1~ on the underside thereo~
which follows a groove or a cam 14 in a fixed plate under-neath it and thus pivots the rail in the manner indi-cated above.
Owing to the angle of the hook magazine in relation to the radius of the drum flange, the hook is drawn in-wardly in the magazine.
By means of a suitable ~elease mechanism for the rail,the latter, owing to the hook holder's being retracted by means of a spring bias 2, will pivot b~ into the hook-receiver position at the same time as the hook holder slides back into the starting position in front of the hook aligner.
With the assembly of the invention, because everything is "folded double", one obtains a great saving of space, which is of great importance because it allows the assembly of the invention to be installed even on fishing boats which heretofo~e: have been too small to accomodate such automated equipment.
The assembly of the invention is not complicated, which renders it reasonable in cost and also reliable in operation, and it is in addition easy to operate, thus requiring fewer personnel.
In conjunction with a suitable baiting device, the invention enables a fishing boat to operate with sub-stantially fewer personnel, thus permitting much higher efficiency and a much more economic fishing operation.
According to the present invention there is provided an assembly on an apparatus for hauling in and winding up a fishing line with attached snells and hooks, comprising a hook aligner, a hook guide and a driven drum with hook magazines and hook trapping means provided on one of the drum flanges, characterized in that the hook guide comprises a hook holder which is slidably disposed on a rail and which is spring hiased opposite to the direction of the incoming line, one end of said rail being pivotally mounted and the o-ther end being arranged for movement from a hook-receiver position to a hook-delivery position, the assembly also including a pulley arranged in the vicinity of the pivot point of the rail for guiding the line back, so that it may be coiled on the drum, the snell drawing the hook holder along with it in the direction of tne incom.ing line and during this being held taut, further that the snell after having passed around the pulley permits the hook holder to be pulled back along the rail by the spring bias, said rail during the to-and-fro movement of the hook holder pivoting toward the periphery of the drum flange, where one of the hook trapping means provided on the margin of the drum flange guides the hook onto one of the hook magazines.
