Abstract

A B S T R A C T
An arrangement in a hook orientation means or a separa-ting means, for utilization in a fishing line hauling system.
The separating means comprises a pipe having a smaller diameter than the outside cross section of the bow of the hook. The pipe is bevelled (approx. 20-30°) at one of its ends and split to form a slot extending from the oblique edge face formed at the pipe opening to the other end of the pipe, where a hook guide is mounted to guide the lined up hooks from the slot to a hook magazine. The oblique edge face formed at the opening changes over into a hook guide plate extending laterally of the pipe opening across the pipe and backwards. The pipe is mounted on an approximately horizontal base together with the hook guide in such a manner that the pipe opening with the first portion of the slot faces upwards and away from the base. The slot extends from the pipe opening obliquely downward along the outside of the pipe and toward the other end of the pipe, and it ends at a distance from the base that is equal to or less than half of the pipe diameter. The hook guide extends obliquely upward from the outlet of the slot and then toward the hook magazine.
The pipe and hook guide form an obtuse angle. A pivoted hook catching finger projects down at the outlet of the slot and is pivotal against a spring force in the direction of the upward inclined portion of the hook guide on the opposite side of the latter in relation to the pipe, the end of hook catching finger after a certain pivotal action being turned above the inclined portion of the hook guide.

Description

~2~(~693 The present invention relates to an arrangement in a hook orientation means or separating means for utilization in a fishing line hauling system.
In known hook orientation means or separating means the hook, when hauled via the line proper and snoods through the split pipe having a bevelled opening, will impinge on the opening edge with the inside o~ its hook bow and will be turned to one or the other side along the lateral faces of said bevelled opening into a position with the hook bow with the barb projecting from said slot, whereas the line proper, snood and hook shank are inside said pipe. The hook is, thus, orientated into a certain position and is guided from the slot onto a hook guide to be transferred to a hook magazine connected with said hook guide.
In case of rapid hauling of a fishing line the hooks will impinge rapidly with their bows against the edges o~ said bevelled opening, causing a tug on the line and possibly even rupture of the snood or straightening of the hook. This may especially occur with the hook bow impinges on the pointed forward portion of the bevelled opening, where the edge of said opening, in fact, e~rtends across the direction of movement of said hook.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure of the pipe inlet portion resulting in hook orienta-tion without the inside of the hook bow impinging rapidly on the bevelled opening edges as mentioned.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a simple and safe transfer of orientated hooks ~rom the slot in said pipe to a subsequent hook guide.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided an arrangement in a hook orientation means for utiliza-tion in a fishing line hauling system, wherein a line comprising a line proper having hooks attached thereto via snoods is hauled ~v the aid of a line winch through said hook orientation means located downstream from tangle r ~ ving and hook c1~n;ng members, and wherein said orientation means is detachably connec-ted to a hook magazine wherein said hook orientation means consists of a pipe having a smaller inside diameter than the outside cross . . .

.
section of the bow of said hook, sa~d pipe being bevelled at one of its open ends defining an oblique edge face and split to form ~ slot extending from said oblique edge face to the other end of said pipe end, and where a hook guide is mounted S for guiding the hooks from said slot to said hook magazine, characterized in that a hook guide place extends outwardly from said pipe at the oblique edge face thereof and slopes downwardly away therefrom in a direction toward the hauling direction of said line proper, said pipe being mounted on an appro,rimately horizontal base together with said hook guide, entry to said slot being in an upper portion of the oblique edge face of said pipe.
The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view of a fishing line hauling system comprising the above men~ioned subsequent hook orientation means; and Figure 2 shows, in perspective, the hook orientation means and a portion of a connected hook magazine.

, . .~

In Figure l a fishing line hauling system is diagrammatical-l~ shown comprising a hauling pulley 23 on;the rail of a shipg a sheave 24, a hook cleaner 9 and a tangle remover 8~
with a winch 25 between them~ and a subsequent leading sheave 26, and a combined hook cleaning and snood tensioning means 7.
Then follows said hook orientation means l with a hook guide 17 stop sheave G and hook magazine lOo Said hook magazine lO is detachably connected with hook guide 17 by cooperating connect-ing members Z2'and 22, as shown in Figure 2. Generally the haul-ing pulley 23 and the combination of tangle remover and hook cleanings members 8~ 9 as well as snood tensioning means 7 and hook orientation means l are permanently mounted on board the vessel 241. The magazine lO is attached and secured to hook guide 17 by the aid Or complementary connecting members 22, 22' Magazine lO may be located above line tub ll by yokes ll' that are secured to said magazine lO and are screwed into the in--side of line tub ll.
For hauling,the line 3 is placed over hauling pulley 23 and sheave 24, beween brushes in hook cleaner 9, around sheave 25, through hook cleaner and tangle remover 8 comprising rigid and resilient fingers 8' and 8" respectively which are in mutual resilient contact, and over leading sheave 26~ through 25a combined snood ten~ioner and hook cleaner 7 Comprising two brushes facing each other, through hook orientation means l and stop sheave 6; said line being hauled on board and through ~aid components o~ the system.
The line is hauled on board over hauling pulley 23 and the 30 fish is removed between sheaves 23 and 24. When the fishing line passes between the brushes in hook cleaning means 9 old bait is scraped of~ the hooks 4 and loose tangles of the snoods are disentangled. Remaining tangle of the snoods is removed when the line passes between scraper means 8',8". The line.is, 35furthermore, pulled over sheave 26 and into snood.~ensioning means 7, which straightens the snood 5 and hook 4 before they are pulled into hook orientation means 19 where hooks 4 are lined up and via hook guide 17 are guided into the hook magazine I

~llZ~ 6~3 ,~

whereas the line proper is coiled in line tub 11.
The hook orientation means~ i.e, hook separator 1, compris-es a pipe 12 having an inside diameter less than the exterior cross section of the hook bow. Pipe 12 is bevelled (approxi-mately 20-30) at one end and split, so that a slot 13 is formed extending from the inclined edge 15 formed at pipe opening 14 to the other pipe end 16, where hook guide 17 is mounted for guiding the lined up hooks 4 from the slot 13 to hook magazine 10. The inclined edge 15 surrounding pipe open-ing 14 changes over into a hook guiding plate 18 extendinglaterally of pipe opening 14 across pipe 12 and rear-ward~ i.e. upstream as seen in the hauling direction of line 3. Pipe 12 is mounted on a horizontal base plate 19 with hook guide 17, the pipe opening 14 with the foremost portion of slot 13 facing upward and away from base plate 19.
Slot 13 extends from pipe opening 14 obliquely down~ard along~
the outer surface of pipe 12 and toward the other end 16 of the pipe, It ends at a distance from base plate 19 equal or ~less than half the diameter of pipe 12. Hook guiding 20 means 17 has an inclined portion 17', extending from the lower edge of slot 13 and up to a horizontal portion leading to a connected hook magazine 10. Pipe 12 and hook guiding means 17enclose an obtuse angle and between them a hook catching finger 20 is pivoted. Said finger 20 projects down at the out-25 let of slot 13 and is pivotal against a spring force towardthe inclined upper portion 17' of hook glliding means 17 on the side of said means 17 facing away from pipe 12, so that the lower end of hook catching finger 20 after a certain pivotal action is brought up above the inclined portion 17~ of 30 hook guiding means 17.
When the line 2 is pulled through pipe 12 with the hooks 4 facing different direction~, some of the hooks will abut guiding plate 18 with the hook tip facing downward. As a consequence of the inclined position of the guiding plate in 35 relation to the direction of movement of the hook said hook tip will turn laterally ~n guiding surface 18 and, thus, turn the hook into a position in parallel with the guiding plate, there-by to cause the hook to be guided into slot 13 at the upper 0~9~

edge of the bevelled pipe opening 14. The hook 4 with its bow and tip projecting up into slot 13 is then turned approximate-ly ~0 due to the slot shape. It will~ thus, emerge from slot ;~ 13 at the end 16 of pipe 12 almost at the same level as ~
5 plate 19. At the outlet of slot 13 the hook bow will be caught by hook catching finger 20, which will yield resiliently and guide the hook bow onto the inclin~ part 17' of the hook guide 17. On further rising said finger will then slip off the hook and return to its initial positionD The hook 4 is then pulled 10 by the line proper 3 via snood 5 along hook guiding means 17 and into the connected hook magazine 10, where the hooks are suspended ti.ghtly with snoods 5 hanging down.
As mentioned above, pipe 12 encloses an obtuse angle with hook guiding means 17. Because of this the line proper 3 that 5is pulled through pipe 12 gets clear of hook guide 17 and stra.ight onto stop sheave 6.
To ensure that hook catching finger 20 really catches the hooks 4 at the outlet of slot 13, the edge 20' of hook catching finger 20 facing the end opening 16 of pipe 12 at the outlet 20Of slot 13 is located radially within the inside of pipe 12 i.e. displaced inward toward the center axis of pipe 12, so that the hook tip will project outward beyond hook catching finger 20 and, thus, ensure that the hook bow engages said finger.
Due to said obtuse angle between pipe 12 and hook guide 17 the rear end 16 of pipe 12 is also obliquely cut resulting in an oblique pi.pe opening 16' facing the hook catcher finger 20 and the upward inclined part 17' of hook guide 17. In this manner it is achieved that the hook shank is supported 30against the inside o~ pipe 12 on the opposite side of the slot 13 outlet until the hook bow engages with hook catcher 20.
To ensure that the hooks 4 during orientation cannot turn too far at the oblique pipe opening 14 and land beside slot 13 a rounded body 21 is arranged resiliently in contact with the 35edge of the pipe opening 14 adjacent slot 13, possibly with a small clearanceg e.gO corresponding to the thickness Or the hook shank. Said body is preferably arcuate and will let a hook 4 advancing from one or the other side pass to slot 13~ whereas 0~93 will prevent a hook from pivoting to the opposite side of the slot.
Hook guide 17 is preferably shaped like an ordinary hook magazine. In addition to the guide 17 proper there is~
thus~ a stop edge 17" extending in parallel with guide 17 and, thus~ forming the known slot in a normal magazine wherein the hooks 4 are slidably held. ~, Connecting elements ~and 22 are provided on the rear end 19' of base plate 19 and on the bottom sur~ace of hook maga-æine 10 respectively, and they are shaped in such a mannerthat connecting element 22 in the form of a projection of ma-gazine 10 can be inserted into connecting element~2~ in the ~s~ ,;
form of a sleeve secured to h*s~s plate 19. Sleeve ~1 may comprise a locking means, e.g. an excentric, which will hold 15 projection 22 against pi~otingO
Pipe 12 may advantageously have a large wall thickness, e.g. 7 mm, resultin~ in wide guiding faces facing each other in the slot 13. This will be important especially when small hooks are used that do not project from slot 13 with their 20 tips. A separating means with such a pipe 12 having thick walls can, thus, receive and orientate hooks o~ widely ~arying sizes~ naturally provided that the inside diameter of pipe 12 is smaller than the cross section of the hook bow.
Said wide guiding faces of slot 13 may possibly be 25 achieved by the aid of guide rails mounted on each side of the top of slot 13. If desired the pipe material may be raised on each side of slot 13.
In a suitable embodiment of the separating means, e.g.
~he hook catching finger 20 may project into a slot at the 30 other end 16 of pipe 12. Finger 20 may possibly project further down through a lower slot, said hook catching finger 20 forming a chord in relation to the inner circumf~tence of pipe 12.
The hook bow will, thus, be safely ~u~.~ by hook catch~ng finger 20 while the hook shank is still inside pipe 12 and may 35 contact the inside wall of pipe 120
