Definitions

• the invention relates to a support for hooks of a line for longline fishing, called longline line.
• a longline line has a large number of hooks, for example more than a thousand. Each hook is mounted on a snood which is itself attached to a mother line.
• the document FR 2 829 664 shows a crate for storing and presenting such a longline line.
• the hooks are stored and kept waiting for spinning, during which the line is launched. Beforehand, the hooks will have received live or icy baits.
• the box has four uprights between which support bars hooks. Each bar has three combs parallel to each other and in which the snoods are arranged one by one.
• One of the combs is of elastomeric material so as to apply a slight tightening on the branch line to hold it in place.
• the shaft of the hook is placed in the slot of one of the combs so as to be retained by the connecting node between the hook and the snood.
• Each bar is pivotally mounted between the uprights, between a storage position and a spinning position.
• the aim of the invention is to provide a support for the hooks of a longline line to ensure a good level of safety. It also aims to ensure a good level of maintenance of the branchlines waiting for spinning.
• the invention relates to a hook storage medium for a longline line, the support having a plurality of slots, distributed in a longitudinal direction, for retaining branchlines, a hook being hooked to each branch line .
• the support comprises a housing opposite each slot for housing in a storage position a hook by the tip.
• the hooks By placing the hooks thus suspended by the tip in the housing in the storage position, it ensures a good level of safety because it eliminates the risk that a person clings to one of the hooks.
• the hook is held in this position simply by the weight of the snood and the line attached to it.
• the support has a notch facing each slot for housing the hook in the spinning position.
• the hook suspended from the snood is lodged in the notch, which allows to stabilize it laterally and to house the point. .
• the slot extends between the housing and the notch.
• the housing is placed on the inside of the box where the line is coiled.
• Hooks are placed on the inside of the crate when in the storage position. The operator who places the bait grabs the hook over the support, hooks the bait and places the snood in the slot. In this way, the hook is put in the spinning position.
• the notch is formed by a U-shaped piece having two wings and a base, the base being attached to the support. By patches, one can provide different materials for each room. In particular, a hard enough material is chosen for the groove which can be exposed at the point of the hooks. By cons, we choose a softer material for the support to facilitate its installation on the edge of a box. In addition, it is easy to replace one of these inserts if it is damaged, which avoids replacing the entire support in such a case.
• the support comprises a series of assemblies mounted on a base section extending in the longitudinal direction, each assembly comprising a transversely extending flange and a separating device placed between two successive flanges, the flanges protruding from the separation device to define the housing.
• the separation device comprises an upper element comprising a foot cooperating with an upper groove extending longitudinally in the base profile to retain the upper element on the base profile, the upper element supporting one slits and front and rear walls of the housing.
• the support is formed by sliding in the upper groove the upper elements that come between the puddles.
• the housing is thus delimited between the front and rear walls and laterally between two successive flanges.
• the separating device comprises for example a wafer extending in the bottom of the notch, the wafer comprising a foot cooperating with a wafer groove extending longitudinally in the base profile to retain the wafer on the base profile, the notch being delimited between two flanges which protrude from the plate. It is thus possible to provide a surface having mechanical properties different from that of the base profile. In particular, it can be provided for the wafer a surface of greater hardness by using a different material from that of the base profile.
• the support comprises a transverse groove at each slot, the slot being formed by a section of elastic material having two lips, the lips being folded against each other when the profile is in the groove cross. It is thus possible, as before, to replace a part of the support which has been damaged at the level of the slot.
• this arrangement allows to have a slot, defined by the two lips, whose faces are clamped against each other. In the case of a slot obtained by molding, the faces of the slot would necessarily be spaced apart from each other.
• the transverse groove is formed in the upper element.
• the support comprises a longitudinal groove, the support being intended to cap the edge of the wall of a box by inserting the edge in the longitudinal groove.
• the support can be placed on standard boxes without the need to provide a specific box.
• the support is easily removable and can be replaced if necessary.
• the slots may be oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal groove or obliquely. The orientation is thus adapted to the use, in particular to the spinning direction.
• the support comprises a well between each slot and the corresponding housing to house a node made on the branch line.
• a node on the snood is planned. It comes to lodge in the well, which makes it possible to retain the snood under the effect of the weight.
