Description
69~
The pres-ent invention relates to a baiting apparatus for utilization in a fishing line setting means on board a vessel where the line is paid out from a hook magazine, throuzh said baiting apparatus where the hooks are baited, and into the water. The baiting apparatus comprises a bait feeder means and a bait cutter means activated via transmission arms by the hooks which are secured to the line proper via snoods and are pulled through a hook guide.
Various baiting means are known and are designed to be reliable in use be ensuring the feed and cutting of pieces of bai~ from the whole bait supply as well as reliable crooking of the pieces of bait on the line hooks passed through a baiting r.leans when the fishing line is paid out.
A common feature of a number of the known baiting means is that their design is relatively complicated and that they areJ thus, expensive in production. Also, experience has shown they are not capable in baiting all of the hooks on a line, which may be due to failures of the bait fee, cutting and/or crooking of the bait on the hook.
An object of the present invention is to provide a baitlng apparatus of a simple and sturdy construction by the aid of which all hooks of the line passing through are baited.
There is provided in accordance with the present inven-tion, a baiting apparatus for utilization in baiting the hook of a longline fishing line when the line to be baited runs through the baiting apparatus, said baiting apparatus comprising a bait feeder and a bait cutter that are activated via arms moved by hooks that are secured on the line proper by snoods as the hooks are pulled through a hook guide means, said hook guide means comprising a slide box in which a slider is slidably mounted, a hook catcher lug pivotally mounted on said slider, the lug being located within the slide box with one end of said hook catcher lug usually protruding into a hook guide channel that extends adjacent the slide box, the other end of the hook catcher lug being in sliding contact with a surface of the slide box, which stops the hook catching lug ~rom moving away from said usual position in which said one end protrudes into the hook guide, said slide box surface having a portion that avoids sliding con~act ,. ~.-i~' , 3L~0~i~9~
with said other end of the hook catcher lug when the slider has moved to one end of the slide box to permit the hook catcher lug to pivot to retract said one end thereof from the hook guide, the arrangement being such that, in use 9 a hook drawn through the hook guide by the line will engage said hook catcher lug and thus ca~se the slider to slide to said one end of the slide box, where the hook catcher lug will pivot and retract from the hook guide to release the hook, a first movably mounted arm in resilient contact with the slider and movable in response to movement of the slider for activating the bait cutter on movement of the slider and a bait feeder arm movably mounted with part thereof located in the hook guide channel to be engaged by a hook before said first movably mounted arm is moved, the bait feeder arm actuating a mechanism that ~eeds bait to the bait cutter, and means for locating the cut bait in a position where it will be impaled by the hook leaving the hook guide when disengaged by the hook catcher lug.
The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan view of the baiting apparatus with a connected hook magaæine provided in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is a sectional side elevational view of the apparatus illustrated in Figure 1 on an enlarged scale;
Figure 3 is an end view in section of the baiting apparatus, as seen in the direction of the fishing line move-~ent;
Figure 4 is a side elevation of the baiting apparatus with a bait feeder and a bait cutter, as seen in a larger scale as in Figure 2; and lZlD~6~
Figure 5 is a plan view of the baiting apparatus with a bait ~utter in a larger scale than Figure 1.
The baiting apparatus 4 comprises a hook guide 10, a bait feeder 6, and a bait cutter 7. Hook guide 10 is direct~y connected with a hook magazine 3, in the embodiment o~ Figure 1 and is mounted on a line tub 2. When the fish-ing line passes through the baiting apparatus the line proper 9 via snoods 8 pulls the hooks 5 from hook magazine 3 into 0 hook guide 10, where every hook 5 via a bait feeding arm 22 and a hook catching lug 14 respectively activates bait feeder 6 and bait cutter 7 via transmission arms more fulle disclosed below.
Hook guide 10 - as shown in more detail in Figures 15 2, 3, and 4, comprises a horizontal slide box 11, provided with a slide 13 controlled by two guide rods 12 and designed as a block having two through apertures for guides 120 In a vertical through slot in the slide a hook catching lug 14 is pivoted about a horizontal shaft 15 with hook catcher portion 14' protruding upwards through a slot 16' in an upper slot plate 16 in slide box 11. Slot plate 16 forms the bottom of a horizontal hook guide 17j limited on top by a cover plate 18 having a groove 18' that opens downwards for receiving the uppermost end 14' of hook catcher lug 14. The lower end sur-face 14" of the hook catcher lug 14 is in sliding contact withthe bottom of slide box 11. Hook catcher lug 14 is, thus, prevented from pivoting when it is pulled along with a hook 5 passing through hook guide 17. The bottom of the slide box has an opening or recess 19 for the lower end 14" of the hook catching lug at the end portion 11' of the slide box for cancelling the blocking of pivoting movement of hook catcher lug 14. Loosing its contact with the bottom of slide box 11 the lower end 14" of hook catcher lug 14 will turn the lug enabling the hook to slip over its top in the hook guide 17 and to be pulled on towards a cut piece of bait 28' at the outlet end of a bait guide 29 at the outlet end of slide box 11, where the hook 5 will crook the piece of bait as disclosed in more detail below.
The bait feeder 6 which feeds an elongated bait 28, ~o~
e.g. in the shape of a bait string, in a substantially verti-cal bait guide 29 at the outlet of hook guide 17 at the reat portion 11' of slide box 11, comprises a bait feeder arm 22.
Bait feeder arm 22 is pivoted at the inlet 11" of slide box ].1 and has its free end protruding into the advance path of the hooks 5. Arm 22 is, thus~ pivoted every time a hook 5 passes and activates bait feeder 6 via rod 31 that is pivoted on bait feeder 6 and is at its other end connected with a pawl 32' on a ratchet wheel 32. Ratchet wheel 32 is turned over a certain angle each time bait feeder arm 22 pivotes.
Ratchet wheel 32 is connected with an endless feeder belt 33 running over steering and driving rolls, and possibly slide guide 6',6". Feeder belt 33 i6 in contact with bait 28 in bait guide 29 and is driven by ratchet wheel 32 for inter-mittent advancement of bait string 28.
Rod 31 is movably attached to bait feeder arm 22.
Displacement of rod 31 to and from the point of rotation of bait feeder 22 controls the axial movement of rod 31 and, thus, the length of movement of feeder belt 33 and the advance-ment of bait string 28.
Bait 28 protruding at the lower portion of baitguide 29 near the outlet of hook guide 17 from slide box 11 is cut by bait cutter 7, comprislng a horizontal circular knife 7a supported on a knife arm 7b that is pivoted about an axis 23~ Circular knife 7a is driven by a motor 7c supported on sa;d arm. Via two intermediate arms 24 and 25 and a rocking lever 26 provided between said arms and having a rocking axis 27, knife arm 7b is connected with an arm 20 that is influenced by slider 13 every time the latter is advanced by a passing hook 5. Circular knife 7a is then moved inwards towards the protruding portion of bait 28 and will cut said portion at the same time as a hook 5 is liberated from hook catcher lug 14. Said hook 5 will crook the cut off piece of bait 28', while the fishing line with snoods 8 and hooks 5 is paid out to the water. To ensure crooking of the piece of bait 28' on the hook 5, a spring loaded arm 30 is provided having a fork shaped end that is pivoted on knife arm 7b and is in resilient contact with the piece of bait 28'. Said piece of bait 28' is, thus, held back somewhat while -the hook 5 penetrates it, before the arm 30 gives way and lets the piece of bait with the hook pass.
The pivotal rnovement of knife arm 7b of bait cutter 7 is adjustable to achieve a correct cutting movement. This is achieved by one of said intermediate arms 25 being displace-ably secured to slide arm 20 to and from its point of rotation 21.
As shown in Figure 5~ the other end of slide arm 20 is via an extension spring 21' connected with one end of knife arm 7b. Spring 21',thus, urges arm 20 to a resilient contact with slide 13, and simulateously knife arm 7b is swung away f`rom the outlet of bait guide 29 after the piece of bait 28' has been cut. In this manner said piece of bait and the hook 5 may pass freely.
When a fishing line 1 comprising the line proper 9 with snoods 8 and hooks 5 is paid out, the line proper 9 will via snood 8 pull hooks 5 :~rom hook magazine 3 into the hori-zontal hook guide 17 of hook guide means 10, where the hooks 20 are turned from a suspended position in the hook magazine in-to a substantially horizontal position by the pull of the snood. In the latter position the bow 5' of hooks 5 will at rirst contact bait feeder arm 22 protruding into the hook guide 17 at the inlet 11" of side box 11 and causing the feed-25 ing of bait string 28 mentioned above. Having passed baitfeeder arm 22 hook bow 5' will contact the upper portion 14' Or hoolc catcher lug 14 and pull slider 13 forward to the opposite end of slide box 11, where hook catching lug lLI will release the hook being permitted to swing at this location.
30 'rhe hoolc will, thus, slip over the top portion of lug 14 as stated above. During this movement of slider 13 the arm 20 is actuated. Via said intermediate arms 24, 25 and rocking arm 26 arm 20 swings knife arm 7b with the circular knife 7a toward bait string 28. A;piece of bait 28' is cut and held by 35 fork arm 30, until the hook 5 that is released from hook catcher arm 14 is pulled into said piece of bait and crooks it while fork arm 30 gives way resiliently. In this manner crooking is ensured even of relatively firm bait that is urged onto the hook tip by the aid of fork arm 30O
When hook 5 slips over hook catcher lug 14, the slider 13 is returned by arm 20 because of spring 21' and knife arm 7b is simultaneously swung away from its cutting position.
s This cycle is repeated each time a hook 5 passes from hook magazine 3 through the horizontal hook guide 17 of the hook guide means 10~
