Definitions

  • This invention relates to angling aids. Anglers, particularly competition anglers, frequently need to keep their hands free while still retaining a fishing rod in position and readily accessible, e.g. to remove a fish and/or rebait the hook.
  • the cradle may comprise a strip having two spaced projecting arms, a forward one of which has a recess in an upper edge, while the other, rearward, arm has a recess in the lower edge.
  • the angle of the cradle may be adjustable relative to the harness.
  • the harness may include a belt to pass round the user's body and a forward support to extend downwardly from the belt to rest on the forward part of the user's thigh to inhibit forward tilting of the harness.
  • the harness may include a waist belt and the cradle may be mounted upon a thigh embracing element secured by a strap around the thigh and also by a vertical strap to the waist belt.
  • the cradle may be formed by bending the metal rod to form two end arcuate portions in planes normal to the length of the rod, one being bent below the rod and the other above.
  • the rod may be readily releasable from the thigh embracing element.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of an angling aid in accordance with the one form of the invention
  • Figure 2 is an elevation of the aid of Figure 1, having a cradle in a different position
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of the aid as shown in Figure 2;
  • Figure 4 is an elevation of an alternative form of embodiment of the invention;
  • Figure 5 is a plan view of the angling aid of Figure 4.
  • Figure 6 illustrates a harness for use with the aid of Figures 4 and 5.
  • a body harness comprises a belt 1 to pass round the user's body.
  • This belt 1 is attached to a curved support element 2 which conforms approximately to the wearer's thigh.
  • Attached to or integral with the support member 2 is a block 4 which carries, somewhat spaced from the wearer's body, a cradle 5.
  • the cradle 5 consists of a strip 6 with a pair of outwardly projecting arms 7 and 8.
  • the forward arm 7 has a recess 9 on its upper edge, while the rearward arm 8 has a recess 10 in its lower edge.
  • These two recesses between them form a cradle to support a fishing rod with its weight essentially forward of the forward arm 7 so that it tends to pivot in a clockwise direction about a fork when formed by the recess 9 and is restrained by engagement of the rod of the recess 10. Supporting the rod produces a clockwise, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, torque which is resisted by the reaction of the wearer's thigh against the extension
  • the wearer may thus support the rod in the cradle 5 while keeping his hands free, e.g. for removal of a fish and for rebaiting the hook. Retrieval of the rod from the cradle is very simple when manual control is required.
  • the strip 6 is attached to the block 4 by means of a bolt 12 embedded in the block 4 and a wing nut 13 cooperating therewith.
  • the block 4 and the strip 6 may be formed with cooperating ridges and grooves 14 extending in a roughly radial direction, or other similar asperities, in order to improve the frictional retention of the strip against the block 4.
  • the cradle 5 By loosening the wing nut 13, the cradle 5 may be freed for rotation on the bolt 12 and it may be retained in a suitable position by tightening the wing nut 13.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show the cradle in two different positions related to block 4.
  • the belt 1 is shown as being attached to the support member 2 by means of rivets 15, but it may run loosely in a groove formed between the block 4 and the support member 2 or through the block itself.
  • the version shown is to enable a rod to be worn at the right-hand side of the wearer's body, and obviously a left-handed version could also be made. If the rest is to be useful with a fly fishing rod, the balance may be different and the positions of the recesses 9 and 10 may be reversed to allow for a rear weighted rod.
  • the wing nut 13 may be replaced by a nut embedded in a suitably shaped body of plastics material to allow ready manual loosening and tightening.
  • the harness may further include a waist belt 23 and a vertical strap 24 attached to the waist belt and to the member 21.
  • the thigh embracingelement 21 is a pressing or moulding of suitable plastics material and it is provided with an off-set portion 25 having holes to receive fixing studs 26 attached to the rod 27 of a cradle.
  • the cradle is formed by out-turned arcuate ends 28 and 29 of the rod 27. These ends are in a plane generally normal to the rod and as illustrated, the end 28 is curved downwards and the end 29 is curved upwards so as to provide the same function as the recesses 9 and 10 previously described.
  • the curved ends 28 and 29 and the adjacent parts of the rod 27 may be covered with sleeves 31 of plastics material if required.
  • the studs 26 are formed with collars 32 and the threaded ends of the studs are secured with wing nuts 33. It is preferred that a metal washer 34 be inserted beneath each wing nut 33, and a fibre washer beneath each shoulder 36.
  • the rod 27 is inclined, but if use is made of an additional mounting hole 35, then the rod 27 may be used alternatively in a horizontal position.
  • the wing nut 33 projects beneath the off-set portion 25, and it is preferred that they should remain substantially outside the arc of the thigh embracing-element 21 for the wearer's comfort.
  • the side strap can be arranged to pass through apertures 41 placed on either side of the off-set portion
  • apertures 42 are provided in the thigh embracing portion for attachment of the strap 24 either forwardly or rearwardly of the off-set portion 25 and depending on whether the weight of the rod is expected to be exerted forwardly or rearwardly.
  • the stra ⁇ s 22 and 23 may be secured by buckles, it is preferable that the ends be secured by a peelable fastner, e.g. provided by hook tape and looped tape as soldunder the trade mark Velcro.
  • a peelable fastner e.g. provided by hook tape and looped tape as soldunder the trade mark Velcro.
  • the strap 24 may be also attached by a peelable fastener if required.

Abstract

Pour permettre qu'un pêcheur à la ligne tienne une canne dans une position appropriée tout en gardant ses deux mains libres pour des opérations aussi diverses que sortir un poisson et garnir un hameçon, l'accessoire de pêche à la ligne proposé comprend un harnais s'attachant au corps de l'usager et comprenant un berceau (28, 29) destiné à supporter une canne à pêche. Dans l'agencement illustré, un élément (21) entourant la cuisse est supporté par une sangle latérale (22) faisant partie du harnais. L'élément (21) peut aussi être supporté depuis une ceinture formant partie du harnais. Le berceau est formé par deux extrémités arquées (28 et 29) d'une tige métallique (27) fixée à une partie surélevée (25) de l'élément (21) à l'aide d'écrous papillons (33). La sangle latérale (22) passe au travers d'ouvertures (41) aménagées dans l'élément (21) de manière à passer entre les écrous papillons et l'utilisateur.
