Fishing tackle

Numerous fishing tackle are known to be excellent suitable for fishing, but have the disadvantage that they cannot be taken apart or pushed together, so that difficulties arise during 'transport. Such Angel is described in ITS-PS 1 475 408, for example.

There are also fishing tackle with a compact structure known (US Pat. No. 2,561,257 and 3,499,241), but also not

3 0 Ö 8 8 3/0 3 5 t

are mutable or retractable and beyond that none show favorable properties when ejecting.

Furthermore, fishing tackle are known which can be dismantled into different parts and then into a suitable one Sheath or the like can be inserted. This leads to space-saving compact units that are Can be easily transported, but assembling it is complicated because the arrangement of the line roller and the Line guide the line can easily get tangled. Also, the known fishing tackle with a compact structure are usually not suitable for casting the line over long distances.

The invention is based on the object of creating a fishing tackle which is compact in structure and which can only be used during transport Little hardly takes up that can be put into its operating state quickly and without difficulty, and that in spite of its compact design has excellent fishing properties.

The object set is achieved according to the invention in that in one provided at one end with a handle part Housing the line roller is arranged, and that at the end of the housing opposite the handle part, the fishing rod mounted indentable 1st.

The fishing rod is preferably mounted on the housing in such a way that it can either be swiveled under the housing or can be swung out into its operating position, with releasable locking

tierungsmittel are provided for holding the fishing rod in its operating position.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is in the housing in the area of the handle part an accessory chamber for receiving the fishing tool attached to the end of the line provided, which can be closed by a lid, with a guide for the fishing line between the accessory chamber in the housing and the pivoted end of the fishing rod is provided.

The invention enables the tang to be folded up without having to remove any part of the tang, so that the fishing rod can be quickly brought into its operating position. The lead of the fishing line remains on the fishing rod Preserved folded state, and through the chamber for the fishing tool and the guide for the fishing line lies The fishing line is nowhere free in the folded state, so that tangling or damage to the line is practical is excluded.

The design of the handle part in the form of a closed one, which is provided according to a further feature of the invention G there is the possibility despite a relatively short training of the fishing rod, even with little experience to achieve long throws. ^

The cord can be replaced quickly and easily if necessary thanks to an easily exchangeable holder for the cord roller

FIG. 1 shows that the fishing tackle 10 is compact and has no protruding parts "that the Make accommodation difficult. In a commercially available embodiment the length of the device is about 25 cm, the width about 7.5 cm and the height about 10 cm. The fishing rod 30 is under the Housing 14 stowed. The crank 51 is implemented so that the crank handle protrudes into the handle opening of the housing.

Figure 2 shows that the total length of this commercial embodiment of about 25 cm allows the fishing tackle to accommodate even smaller automobiles in the glove compartment 11. The versatility of the fishing tackle according to the invention shows FIG. 3 because the angler F can, for example, put the fishing tackle 10 in the back pocket P of his trousers, since the handle part 15 is relatively narrow. The bulbous part of the case is then above the pocket t? but there its thickness compared to the approximately 2.5 cm thick handle part is only about 7.5 cm, the fishing tackle is usually comfortable carry along in this way.

FIGS. 2 and 4 also show the possibility of hanging the fishing tackle 10 on the belt B of the angler F with the aid of the hook 12 provided on the handle part 15. The hook 1 2 is formed by a slot 13 in the lower part 14 of the handle part 15 and is arranged at an angle so that the fishing tackle protrudes sufficiently far from the body of the angler F when the fishing rod is swung out (FIG. 4) hang the fishing tackle on his belt, for example to hook it

309883/0351

225881 A

to "attach a bait, change the fishing tool, lighting a cigarette, opening a can of his favorite drink or another fisherman trying to find one great catch to help.

The individual elements of the fishing tackle as well as their handling are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, where the conversion of the taken together The state according to FIGS. 1 to 3 is shown in the operational state according to FIG. First is the lid 25 of the accessory chamber 26 is opened and pivoted about the pin 28. The angler can now reach into the chamber 26 and the float 18, the associated fish hook 19, the connection 22 to the hook, the rotatable snap connection 24 with the Take out the adjacent countersink 21 and the stop ball 23. The cord 20 is then loosely attached to the end of the still retracted Fishing rod 30 connected. Then the lid 25 is closed again, the nut 52 loosened in front of the crank 51, the crank 51 turned so that the crank handle points outwards and then screwed the nut 52 back on. Then you grasp the fishing rod 30 and pivot it about its axis of rotation 88 in the Figure 6 shown position in which the upper part of .Basis 39 is held by the pawl 29. In FIG. 6 it can be seen that the fishing rod has a guide eyelet 31 at the end of the tip 35 and another larger guide eyelet 32 is provided in front of it at the end of a support arm 36. The fishing tackle 10 is therewith prepared for fishing.

During use, the angler according to FIG. 10 presses with his thumb T on the line roller coupling 55 and thereby stops

3 0 9 8 8 3/0351

unwinding the cord 20 from the reel. The remaining fingers F ¹ encompass the upper part of the handle 15 and lie in the wave-shaped depressions of the wall 99 below the accessory chamber 26. In a corresponding chronological relationship to the rotation of the wrist and arm when the swimmer is thrown forward, the angler F lets his thumb 1 'from the line roller clutch 55, and then throws the line 20 and the. Swimmers 18 freely through the air until they fall into the water either by themselves or by briefly stopping the angler. It should be mentioned in particular that the hand A of the angler F grasps the grip part 15 in the golf grip and slipping is prevented not only by a correspondingly strong grip with the fingers, but also by the closed nature of the C-shaped grip part 15. Furthermore, the thumb ΐ is in its natural position when the line roller coupling 55 is pressed, which not only facilitates a firm grip, but also enables holding and releasing the line roller in a natural finger position, so that even a UeulHig can learn a good ejection technique easily and quickly and can handle the fishing tackle. Furthermore, the fishing rod can also be easily thrown laterally below the shoulder.

In Figure 11 it can be seen that the fishing line 20 is provided with a knot 27 and a stop ball 23 which can slide along the cord 20, the movement of which is limited at the top by the knot 27. The float 18 is made preferably from an outer floating part 16 and an attached pipe part 17, so that both parts along the length of the float a guide 33 for the fishing line

". In the ready position for casting the fishing rod shown in Pigur 10 and 11, the float 18 slides on the Cord along up to the countersink 21, which is fastened directly above the rotary joint 24, which in turn is attached to the connection 22 is attached to the fish hook. The fish hook 19 is of course provided with a bait (Pigur 10) before casting been. As soon as the float 18 dips into the water, as shown in Pigur 12, it swims on the surface of the water, and the countersink 21 pulls the cord 20 downwards until the knot 27 contacts the stop ball 23. The node 27 determines thus the position of the hook 19 and the countersink 21 under the water surface, and with it the depth of the fish hook can be regulated. This depth depends largely on the water depth, the type of fish to be fished, the fishing tools used, the season and other factors to be considered when fishing.

The individual elements of the fishing tackle 10 are held together by the housing 40, and Pigur 7 schematically shows how the reel 50 can be removed for maintenance or replacement of the line 20 after a kiss or in exchange for a line of a different strength. After loosening the two screws 46, the roller plate 45 can be pulled outwards from the sprues 48 provided in the housing 40 together with the winding roller. According Pigur 8 of the roll chamber 44 is provided a bearing 75 for the hell in the lower part, which has a slot 78 below. A corresponding roller bearing 75 and an upper slot 76 are provided on the upper part of the roller cam 44. The Holle 50 itself is provided with a King 95,

30988 3/0351

that in the opposite slots 76 and 78 of the roller bearing 75 slides. After removing the ^ screws 46, the Can be removed from the roll. This removal of the complete roller 50 with the plate 45 is shown in FIG. 7. The roller brake or the star wheel 56 is located next to the fastening nut 52 for the crank 51. In the roller plate 45 is a crescent-shaped one Depression 98 is provided so that the star wheel 56 can be easily reached with the fingers.

The line roller clutch 55 has a downward in the roller chamber 44 pointing finger '90, but the Removal of the roller 50, as can be seen from Figure 7, is not hindered.

In order to avoid disturbances when removing the cover of the take-up reel 50, the cord space 72 (FIG. 8) is included a conical brake shoe 82 which extends to the inner surface of the plate 45. Thus, when the lever 92 is operated by finger pressure and the roller brake body 83 moves forward, the cord 20 is between the brake shoe and brake body stuck.

Larger details of the housing 40 are shown in the sectional drawing in FIG. It should be noted above all that the housing consists of the two halves 41 and 42, with the roller plate being arranged on the half 41. The two Halves are connected to one another in a press fit, preferably glued, with pins 43 and eyes assigned to them an exact localization takes place. The preferred material for

Manufacture of the unit is "Cycalac" as this is resistant to Corrision and is relatively cheap and the individual parts can be easily glued together.

The bearings of the roller 50 and their distance described with reference to FIG. 7 can also be seen in detail from FIG 8. As already mentioned above, the Hollenlager 75 are slotted Parts at the top and bottom of the roller chamber 44, in the opposite slots 76 and 78 the ring the roll slides. The plate 45 is provided with corresponding, opposing roller bearings 75. The coil part 58 is located within the reel 50, but the cord passes through the cord guide 70 at the front of the reel housing 40 outside and then into the line opening 71 which has a molded hole in the lower part of the base 39 of the fishing rod 30 is. In Figure 9 it can be seen that the opening 71 and the eyelets 31 and 32 are aligned so that the cord 20 runs through a central part of the opening and thus friction is avoided at this point. The cord runs then further through the cavity 73 provided in the base 39. The side walls 77 delimiting the cavity 73 the base 39 has sufficient strength to be able to handle fish of usable size with the fishing rod. Also owns the support arm 36 preferably has an elliptical shape with the major axis of the ellipse lying in the vertical plane, so that the construction is more stable, while the tip 35 is relatively flat and has an approximately rectangular cross-section, wherein the longitudinal axis of the rectangular cross-section is horizontal. The purpose of this arrangement is the effective transfer the slight tugging at the tip 35 when the fish bites and then laying the tip down until on the support arm 36 when

a larger fish that has to be pulled ashore.

According to Figure 8 is also in the lower! Geil dös grip 15 a receptacle for the tip of the support arm 1 β provided * The eyelet 32 snaps over a projection 62 at the end 61 the recording * This will hold the fishing rod 30 on the lower (part of the housing 40 and on the handle 15 during the !

The function of the pawl 29 is shown in FIG. 9, in which the fishing rod is in the operating position. To establish this position, the angler grasps either the tip 35 or the support arm 36 or both ropes of the fishing rod 30 and pulls on them until the engagement between the eyelet 32 and the receptacle 60 is released. The fishing rod is then further pivoted about the axis of rotation 88, until it occupies the position shown in Figure 9, the pawl 29 is depressed to the latch 81 to lift, so that these in the end position of the fishing _j rod by releasing the pawl fall into the recess 80 in the base 39 and the shoulder 79 at the rear upper end

309883/0351

the Basle 39 can encompass. The fishing rod is thus held securely in your operating position. A spring 85 strives 1st, the pawl 29 about its pivot axis 84 to pivot to its operating position _f in which the Baetnase 81 in the recess 80 rests. The rear part of the fishing rod base 39 protrudes into a. Recess 86 at the front end of the housing

40. The cord 20 runs freely through the cord guide 70, through the cord opening 71 and then through the eyelets 32 and 31 FIG. 8 also shows that the float 18 with the associated fishing tool fits tightly into the accessory compartment 26 and that the cord 20 rests in a slot 68 in the rear of the handle 15 is provided so that when you tighten the roller in the sporting position shown in FIG. 7, the cord 20 is stretched in the slot 68 and tangling of the son is avoided.

The length of the fishing rod is about 20 cm. Duroh the The butt has bifurcating ends 35 and 36 in spite of its shortness the sensitivity of a much longer rod. On the other hand, when you catch a larger fish, the pressure is reduced on the eyelet 31 the tip 35 against the top of the support arm 36 and is stiffened daduroh and so stable that the large FiBCh can be brought ashore without difficulty.

In order to increase the distance of the average throw, a significant amount of friction should be avoided. In this connection it has been found that the eyelets 31 and 32 are preferably should be made of stainless steel or of chrome-plated material, but in any case a very hard metallic surface

309883/03 St.

should have area. The guide eye 32 has a diameter larger opening than the eyelet 31 in order to reduce friction as much as possible to concentrate on the eyelet 31 and thus to reduce it. If necessary, only the guide eye 31 needs to be used to become. In this case, the fishing rod 30 is at its end not forked, but tapers to a single guide eye 31 out. In the same way, the line guide 70, which receives the line from the reel and guides it through the opening 71, is preferably made of stainless steel or ear-plated steel manufactured, and it preferably has an inner diameter of 8 mm, so that as little friction as possible on the cord is exercised if this runs through the guide to outer eyelets *

Other equivalent constructions are also possible. For example, take-up rolls can be ennobled with a! rear -Iiager exchangeable in the same way. in the roller bearing 75 can be arranged by adapting the slots 76 and 78 «« The need to provide a roller plate 45 with the associated screws 46 can be omitted if the two half * Do not use locating pins 43 »on the housing 41 and 42» but held together with the help of quick-release screws will.

Although the pivotable fishing rod is the most advantageous feature of the fishing rod according to the invention, a longer, telescopically retractable fishing rod can be releasably attached to the front end of the housing by means of a locking device similar to the locking device shown. Furthermore, the lid 25 of the accessory chamber 26 can also be attached with a snap fastener.
