Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention generally belongs to the field of fishing and is particularly concerned with a lighting device for night fishing or fishing in low light.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION STATE OF THE ART

Existing articles for low-light fishing are well-known, which, while helping the angler in his work, do not solve all the problems of night fishing.

In order to combat these disadvantages, a new device is proposed which comprises an illuminated fishing line.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present proposal is about a fishing tackle that solves or at least ameliorates the problems of the prior art. This device comprises a process unit, a laser light emitter to emit a light pattern when activated by the process unit, a string that propagates the light of the laser light emitter, and an accelerometer. The laser light emitter is activated by the process unit depending on whether the acceleration value determined by the accelerometer is above a threshold.

Optionally, the threshold can be set.

Optionally, the device further comprises a battery.

Optionally, it further includes a dynamo coupled to the battery.

Optionally, the laser light emitter emits a pulsed light pattern when activated. This pattern can be changed in some designs.

Optionally, the cord is a luminous cord.

Another object of the present invention is a fishing rod comprising the above-mentioned device.

Optionally, the rod includes a coil coupled to the dynamo to generate electrical energy as the coil rotates and store it in the battery.

Optionally, the accelerometer is placed at the top of the rod to more accurately determine when a fish bites.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

The 1 , - Shows an example of a fishing rod in which several elements of the invention are installed.

The 2 , - Shows schematically several installed next to the coil elements of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Regarding the 1 and 2 An embodiment of the invention will be described.

As in 1 you can see a laser transmitter 3 with a special light cord 4 coupled to pass a beam of light. This string 4 is wrapped in nylon, giving it greater strength against the tensile forces to which the fishing lines are exposed each time they bite.

For the power supply of the laser is a battery 6 used, which is preferably rechargeable.

Preferably, a dynamo 5 with the coil 10 coupled to the rod. This is how the spool rotates 10 every time the fishing rod is ejected or overtaken and the battery 6 is recharged, as the rotational energy through the dynamo 5 is converted into electricity that is in the battery 6 is stored. This gives the invention autonomy and eliminates the annoying need to replace the batteries after emptying.

For the control of the instrument becomes a process unit 1 used, for example, programmed with Arduino. In particular, it is an electronic board with a microcontroller and input and output ports. Connected to the electronic board is a relay that is activated to be in the light of the laser transmitter 3 to cause a flash and to indicate the angler so a bite.

Furthermore, an accelerometer 2 attached to the top of the fishing rod, which is activated when a fish snatches the bait and pulls on the fishing line. This accelerometer is adjustable to be less sensitive on days with stronger winds and to avoid false alarms.

The functionality is as follows:
When the device is first turned on, it will perform a startup test to verify that it is functioning properly. After that, the laser transmitter 3 activates and illuminates the fishing line 4 ,

When a fish bites, the accelerometer attached to the top of the fishing rod provides 2 detects a movement when an adjustable value is exceeded and sends a signal to the process unit 1 that the laser transmitter 3 and flashes to indicate a possible catch.

After a few seconds, in which no movement takes place or a smaller movement than the specified, the flashing of the laser transmitter 2 disabled and this returns to hibernation, where the fishing line 4 without flashing lights.

It should be noted here that this illumination mode can be changed with flashing sequences that are related to a possible catch and the steady light shows when there is no catch. Instead of having a steady light, for example, the lack of biting of fish may be indicated with a sequence of light pulses having a greater time interval than in the case where biting is detected.
