Abstract
A fishing lure comprising a body and one or more detachably securable covers. One of the body and the cover has a male coupling member, the male coupling member being movable between a first position and a second position, and another of the body and the cover has a female coupling. The female coupling is capable of entering into mating engagement with the male coupling member when the male coupling member is in the first position, and the female coupling is prevented from withdrawal from mating engagement with the male coupling member when the male coupling member is in the second position. Each cover has a different appearance. The covers are detachable from the body without removing the body from a remote end of a fishing line.
Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION:
Fishing lure NAMES) OF INVENTOR(S):
Dale Stephenson FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fishing lure.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Fishing lures are designed to attract a fish and convince the fish that the lure is the prey upon which the fish feeds.
When the fish attacks the lure, the fish becomes caught on a hook adjacent to the lure, and can then be captured. Different fish are attracted by different lures. Further, under different conditions, the same fish are attracted by different lures. As an example, the colour of one fish that is a prey of another fish may change depending upon the season or the local aquatic conditions. In such a circumstance, a lure must be matched to the prey if the fish is to be attracted and caught. A fisherman, even one that is very experienced and knowledgeable of local conditions, may have to try several different designs of lure before finding the lure appropriate for the type of fish being sought and the prevailing conditions.
There have been several different methods devised for amending the appearance of a lure in order to improve its resemblance of a prey for a fish. Example of a decorative appendage that can be attached to a lure to augment its appearance are described by Miles in United States Patent 2,333,484 which issued in 1943, and Pippert in United States Patent 4,700,503 which issued in 1987. In the Miles reference a hook is introduced through a substantially transparent shell that then is fitted over the body of the lure. A decorative component comprising several hairs or feathers shaped to resemble bodily features of a minnow or other prey for a fish is attached to the transparent shell. In the Pippert reference a fishing hook is attachable to bodies with different appearances by means of an insert that passes through the bodies.
Alternatively, the outward appearance of a lure can be changed by stretching over the body of the lure an elastic cover of a selected colour or shape, as described by Kearns in United States Patent 1,611,117 which issued in 1926, or a mesh to give a scale like appearance, as described by Dumouchel in United States Patent 1,541,032 which issued in 1924. A cover for the body of a lure can be manufactured from a rigid material as described by Head in United States Patent l, 599, 763 which issued in 1923 and Fisher in United States Patent 2,578,411 which issued in 1945. In the Head reference one of a series of interchangeable conical aluminum shells can be attached to the body of a lure by means of a thumb nut disposed on a threaded pin extending from the body of the lure. In the Fisher reference a detachable plastic shell is provided that fits closely over a wooden body of a lure. At one of the opposed ends of the plastic shell there is a return flange that fits over one end of the body. The other of the opposed ends of the plastic shell is retained in contact with another end of the body by means of a frictional acting retaining clip.
A flexible cover can be attached to the body of a lure by slipping the end of the body that attaches to the remote end of the fishing line through a hole in the cover, as described by Flynn in United States Patent 2,579,377 which issued in 1948.
De Weese in United States patent 3,392,474 issuing in 1965, Raymond in United States Patent 2,003,976 issuing in 1933, and Reininger in United States Patent 3,289,345 issuing in 1964, describe different examples of covers for lures that are secured to the body of the lure by means of a peripheral return flange that must fit closely around a peripheral edge of the body.

Each of covers described in the Prior Art suffers from one or more deficiencies when it is desired that the appearance of the lure can be changed by a child. When the cover is installed by slipping the cover over an end of the body that attaches to the fishing line, the lure must be detached from the fishing line in order to exchange covers. Lures are tied onto a fishing line at one end of the body. The body is attached to the fishing line either by tying a knot or by means of a spring type of clip. Although an adult will have little difficulty in untying a knot or unclipping one lure from the remote end of the fishing line by compressing the spring clip to open it, and replacing the one lure with another lure, a small child or an infirm adult may experience difficulty in opening the spring clip. When the cover is secured to the body of the lure by forcibly inserting an edge of the cover into a groove on the body as in the Kearns reference, by means of a frictional acting retaining clip as in the Fisher reference, or by means of a thumb nut and a threaded pin as in the Head reference, a person desiring to change the cover must have either manual dexterity or strength in the fingers. Further, a child may be impatient to try another lure, and may become frustrated if considerable effort or delay results from the need to change a lure. It is therefore desirable to have a method for changing a lure that is rapid as well as being performed with ease by a child.
SUI~iARY OF THE INVENTION
What is required is a fishing lure the appearance of which can be changed rapidly and easily.
According to the present invention there is provided a fishing lure which includes a body and at least one detachably securable cover. One of the body and the cover has a male coupling member which is movable between a first position and a second position. The other of the body and the cover has a female coupling. The female coupling is capable of entering into mating engagement with the male coupling member when the male coupling member is in the first position. The female coupling is prevented from withdrawal from mating engagement with the male coupling member when the male coupling member is in the second position. Means is provided by which the body is securable to a fishing line.
With the fishing lure, as described above, the cover can rapidly and easily be changed by moving the male coupling member from the second position to the first position. There are various ways of making a male coupling member which is movable between a first position and a second position; some of which will hereinafter be further described. The male coupling member can be rotatable. The male coupling member can be deformable.
Although beneficial results may be obtained through the use of the fishing lure, as described above, it is sometimes desirable that the fishing lure float on or just below the surface of the water. It is also, sometimes desirable that the fishing lure be just buoyant enough to avoid settling to the bottom of a body of water where there are rocks or weeds in which the lure may get entangled. When it is desired that the fishing lure should had additional buoyancy, a detachable cover that is hollow or made from a buoyant material may be used as a "floater" for the fishing lure.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
These and other features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description in which reference is made to the appended drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a first embodiment of a fishing lure with a rotatable male coupling in the first position and a cover in a detached position.
FIGURE 2 is the first embodiment of fishing lure shown in FIGURE 1, with the rotatable male coupling in the second position and the cover secured to the body.
FIGURE 3 is a second embodiment of a fishing lure with a deformable male coupling in the first position and a cover in a detached position.
FIGURE 4 is the second embodiment of fishing lure shown 5 in FIGURE 3, with the deformable male coupling in the second position and the cover secured to the body.
FIGURE 5 is an end elevation view, in section, of a buoyant detachable cover for a fishing lure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The two preferred embodiments of fishing lure will now be described with reference to FIGURES 1 through 5. A first embodiment generally identified by reference numeral 10, will be described with reference to FIGURES l, 2 and 5. A second embodiment generally identified by reference numeral 11, will be described with reference to FIGURES 3 through 5.
With reference to FIGURE 1, fishing lure 10 includes a body 12 and several covers 14, of which one is shown. Body 12 has a first end 16, a second end 18, a convex top surface 20, a bottom surface 22, and a peripheral edge 24. A first hole 26 passes from top surface 20 to bottom surface 22 at first end 16 of body 12, whereby body 12 can be secured to a remote end of a fishing line (not shown). A second hole 28 passes from top surface 20 to bottom surface 22 at second end 18 of body 12, whereby a hook 30 is attached to body 12. Each of the several covers 14 has a first end 36, a second end 38, a convex top surface 40, a concave bottom surface 42, and a peripheral edge 44. Concave bottom surface 42 of cover 14 fits closely over convex top surface 20 of body 12. An elongate hole which serves as a female coupling 46 passes from top surface 40 to bottom surface 42 at a substantially central position of cover 14. Female coupling 46 is sized so as to accept a male coupling 48 on body 12. Peripheral edge 44 of cover 14 has a first recess 37 at first end 36 and a second recess 39 at second end 38 so that, when cover 14 directly overlies body 12, first hole 26 and second hole 28 in body 12 are not overlain by cover 14.
Referring to FIGURES 1 and 2, in a first embodiment of fishing lure 10, male coupling 48 is rotatably mounted on body 12. Rotatably mounted male coupling 48, as illustrated, has a gripping portion 50 that is rotatable about a post 52 rigidly attached to top surface 20 of body 12. It will be recognized that alternative rotatable fastenings are available.
Optionally, gripping portion 50 has a hole 51 throughout, whereby motion of the water about gripping portion 50 causes a vibration and generates a noise to attract fish. Male coupling 48 has a first position, shown in FIGURE 1, and a second position, shown in FIGURE 2.
Referring to FIGURE 1, when cover 14 is positioned over body 12 in a substantially coplanar and parallel orientation and male coupling 48 is in first position, male coupling 48 and female coupling 46 are aligned and male coupling 48 can pass freely through female coupling 46. Referring to FIGURE 2, when cover 14 overlies body 12, concave bottom surface 42 of cover 14 matches and fits closely over convex top surface 20 of body 12. When gripping portion 50 of male coupling 48 passes through female coupling 46 and is rotated through about 90 degrees about post 52, male coupling is in second position.
In second position a bottom edge 54 of gripping portion 50 applies a clamping pressure on top surface 40 of cover 14, and male coupling 48 and female coupling 46 are thereby secured in mating engagement. When male coupling 48 is in second position, female coupling 46 is prevented from withdrawal from mating engagement with male coupling 48, and cover 14 is constrained to overlie body 12 in a matching position.
Cover 14 is easily and rapidly detached from body 12 by rotating gripping portion 50 from second position to first position and separating cover 14 from body 12, as illustrated in FIGURE 1.
SUI~iARY OF THE INVENTION
What is required is a fishing lure the appearance of which can be changed rapidly and easily.
According to the present invention there is provided a fishing lure which includes a body and at least one detachably securable cover. One of the body and the cover has a male coupling member which is movable between a first position and a second position. The other of the body and the cover has a female coupling. The female coupling is capable of entering into mating engagement with the male coupling member when the male coupling member is in the first position. The female coupling is prevented from withdrawal from mating engagement with the male coupling member when the male coupling member is in the second position. Means is provided by which the body is securable to a fishing line.
With the fishing lure, as described above, the cover can rapidly and easily be changed by moving the male coupling member from the second position to the first position. There are various ways of making a male coupling member which is movable between a first position and a second position; some of which will hereinafter be further described. The male coupling member can be rotatable. The male coupling member can be deformable.
Although beneficial results may be obtained through the use of the fishing lure, as described above, it is sometimes desirable that the fishing lure float on or just below the surface of the water. It is also, sometimes desirable that the fishing lure be just buoyant enough to avoid settling to the bottom of a body of water where there are rocks or weeds in which the lure may get entangled.

These and other features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description in which reference is made to the appended drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a first embodiment of a fishing lure with a rotatable male coupling in the first position and a cover in a detached position.
FIGURE 2 is the first embodiment of fishing lure shown in FIGURE 1, with the rotatable male coupling in the second position and the cover secured to the body.

FIGURE 4 is the second embodiment of fishing lure shown 5 in FIGURE 3, with the deformable male coupling in the second position and the cover secured to the body.
FIGURE 5 is an end elevation view, in section, of a buoyant detachable cover for a fishing lure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The two preferred embodiments of fishing lure will now be described with reference to FIGURES 1 through 5. A first embodiment generally identified by reference numeral 10, will be described with reference to FIGURES l, 2 and 5. A second embodiment generally identified by reference numeral 11, will be described with reference to FIGURES 3 through 5.
With reference to FIGURE 1, fishing lure 10 includes a body 12 and several covers 14, of which one is shown. Body 12 has a first end 16, a second end 18, a convex top surface 20, a bottom surface 22, and a peripheral edge 24. A first hole 26 passes from top surface 20 to bottom surface 22 at first end 16 of body 12, whereby body 12 can be secured to a remote end of a fishing line (not shown). A second hole 28 passes from top surface 20 to bottom surface 22 at second end 18 of body 12, whereby a hook 30 is attached to body 12. Each of the several covers 14 has a first end 36, a second end 38, a convex top surface 40, a concave bottom surface 42, and a peripheral edge 44. Concave bottom surface 42 of cover 14 fits closely over convex top surface 20 of body 12. An elongate hole which serves as a female coupling 46 passes from top surface 40 to bottom surface 42 at a substantially central position of cover 14. Female coupling 46 is sized so as to accept a male coupling 48 on body 12. Peripheral edge 44 of cover 14 has a first recess 37 at first end 36 and a second recess 39 at second end 38 so that, when cover 14 directly overlies body 12, first hole 26 and second hole 28 in body 12 are not overlain by cover 14.
Referring to FIGURES 1 and 2, in a first embodiment of fishing lure 10, male coupling 48 is rotatably mounted on body 12. Rotatably mounted male coupling 48, as illustrated, has a gripping portion 50 that is rotatable about a post 52 rigidly attached to top surface 20 of body 12. It will be recognized that alternative rotatable fastenings are available.
Optionally, gripping portion 50 has a hole 51 throughout, whereby motion of the water about gripping portion 50 causes a vibration and generates a noise to attract fish. Male coupling 48 has a first position, shown in FIGURE 1, and a second position, shown in FIGURE 2.
Referring to FIGURE 1, when cover 14 is positioned over body 12 in a substantially coplanar and parallel orientation and male coupling 48 is in first position, male coupling 48 and female coupling 46 are aligned and male coupling 48 can pass freely through female coupling 46. Referring to FIGURE 2, when cover 14 overlies body 12, concave bottom surface 42 of cover 14 matches and fits closely over convex top surface 20 of body 12. When gripping portion 50 of male coupling 48 passes through female coupling 46 and is rotated through about 90 degrees about post 52, male coupling is in second position.
In second position a bottom edge 54 of gripping portion 50 applies a clamping pressure on top surface 40 of cover 14, and male coupling 48 and female coupling 46 are thereby secured in mating engagement. When male coupling 48 is in second position, female coupling 46 is prevented from withdrawal from mating engagement with male coupling 48, and cover 14 is constrained to overlie body 12 in a matching position.
Cover 14 is easily and rapidly detached from body 12 by rotating gripping portion 50 from second position to first position and separating cover 14 from body 12, as illustrated in FIGURE 1.
Referring to FIGURES 3 and 4, in second embodiment of fishing lure 11, male coupling 48 mounted at a substantially central position on top surface 20 of body 12 is deformable between a first position, shown in FIGURE 3, and a second position, shown in FIGURE 4. Deformable male coupling 48 as illustrated has two deformable members 60 rigidly affixed at a first end 62 to top surface 20 of body 12. It will be recognized that alternative embodiments with one or more than two deformable members may also be used. Female coupling 46 is substantially similar to female coupling 46 of first embodiment of fishing lure 10.
Referring to FIGURE 3, when male coupling 48 is in a substantially vertical position, a remote end 64 of deformable members 60 passes freely through female coupling 46 of cover 14. Referring to FIGURE 4, cover 14 fits closely over body 12 as deformable members 60 are passed through female coupling 46.
Deformable members are deformed so that remote end 64 is brought into contact with top surface 40 of cover 14. When male coupling 48 is in second position, female coupling 46 is prevented from withdrawal from mating engagement with male coupling 48, and cover 14 is constrained to overlie body 12 in a matching position.
Cover 14 is easily and rapidly detached from body 12 by returning deformable members 60 from second position engaging top surface 40 of cover 14 to the substantially vertical first position and separating cover 14 from body 12, as illustrated in FIGURE 3.
It is preferred that with either of first embodiment of fishing lure 10 or second embodiment of fishing lure 11; body 12 with one of the several detachably securable covers 14, has sufficient weight to sink in water.
There are circumstances in which it is desirable that either first embodiment of fishing lure 10 or second embodiment of fishing lure 11 requires additional buoyancy. This additional buoyancy may be required to enable the fishing lure to float on or just below a surface of water. The additional buoyancy may be required to make the fishing lure just buoyant enough to avoid settling to the bottom of a body of water where there are rocks or weeds in which the fishing lure may get entangled. Referring to FIGURE 5, there is illustrated one version of a buoyant detachable cover. Cover 14, as illustrated, is hollow. Hollow cover 14 comprises a casing 70 enclosing a sealed cavity 72 extending from first end 36 to second end 38. Sealed cavity can either be filled with air or a buoyant foam material. Casing 70 can be manufactured from a variety of materials, and is preferably manufactured from a plastic which is strong, unaffected by exposure to water, and is coloured by pigments that remain colour fast. A central section 74 of casing 70 immediately surrounding female coupling 46 is compressed to allow cover 14 that serves as a floatation device to be secured to either of first embodiment of fishing lure 10, as illustrated in FIGURE 2, or second embodiment of fishing lure 11, as illustrated in FIGURE 4.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the embodiments described without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
Referring to FIGURE 3, when male coupling 48 is in a substantially vertical position, a remote end 64 of deformable members 60 passes freely through female coupling 46 of cover 14. Referring to FIGURE 4, cover 14 fits closely over body 12 as deformable members 60 are passed through female coupling 46.
Deformable members are deformed so that remote end 64 is brought into contact with top surface 40 of cover 14. When male coupling 48 is in second position, female coupling 46 is prevented from withdrawal from mating engagement with male coupling 48, and cover 14 is constrained to overlie body 12 in a matching position.
Cover 14 is easily and rapidly detached from body 12 by returning deformable members 60 from second position engaging top surface 40 of cover 14 to the substantially vertical first position and separating cover 14 from body 12, as illustrated in FIGURE 3.
It is preferred that with either of first embodiment of fishing lure 10 or second embodiment of fishing lure 11; body 12 with one of the several detachably securable covers 14, has sufficient weight to sink in water.
There are circumstances in which it is desirable that either first embodiment of fishing lure 10 or second embodiment of fishing lure 11 requires additional buoyancy. This additional buoyancy may be required to enable the fishing lure to float on or just below a surface of water. The additional buoyancy may be required to make the fishing lure just buoyant enough to avoid settling to the bottom of a body of water where there are rocks or weeds in which the fishing lure may get entangled. Referring to FIGURE 5, there is illustrated one version of a buoyant detachable cover. Cover 14, as illustrated, is hollow. Hollow cover 14 comprises a casing 70 enclosing a sealed cavity 72 extending from first end 36 to second end 38. Sealed cavity can either be filled with air or a buoyant foam material. Casing 70 can be manufactured from a variety of materials, and is preferably manufactured from a plastic which is strong, unaffected by exposure to water, and is coloured by pigments that remain colour fast. A central section 74 of casing 70 immediately surrounding female coupling 46 is compressed to allow cover 14 that serves as a floatation device to be secured to either of first embodiment of fishing lure 10, as illustrated in FIGURE 2, or second embodiment of fishing lure 11, as illustrated in FIGURE 4.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the embodiments described without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
