Abstract

The present invention aims at an automatic live bait fishing system that maintains the tension in the halyard (6) of constant cable in the process of harnessing, lifting and tightening of the fish depending on the bait in the water and the rocking of the vessel , where the rod (1) is controlled from a control (2) located at its base and where said rod (1) is possible to be lowered and raised to predetermined landing / hoisting points by means of a user interface placed on the bridge of the vessel, so that the sailor who controls the rod (1) can correct the position of the rod by means of a function of tiento of the fish to continue with the rod (1) the evolution of the bait in the water, both in depth and in displacement of bow aft.

Description

Also, in these systems, the cable halyard

Automatic fishing system with live bait.

Object of the invention

The present invention aims at an automatic live bait fishing system that keeps the tension in the rope, rope or halyard constant in the process of lowering (lowering of the rod normally with respect to a horizontal axis of rotation), hoisting (lifting of the rod normally with respect to a horizontal axis degiro) and tiento (lateral movements of the rod normally with respect to a vertical axis of rotation) of the fish depending on the bait in the water and the balancing of the vessel.

Due to the automation of the system, where the cane is controlled from a command located at its base, it is possible to raise it by means of a raised / raised point set by the employer (person in charge of activating said command voluntarily) through a user interface placed on the bridge delbuque.

Once the rod is at the drop-off points, the person who controls the rod can correct the position of the rod by means of a function of tiento of the fish to continue with the cane the evolution of the bait in the water, both in depth and in moving from bow to stern.

Thus, the automated fishing system needs a person who, through the automatic system, orders the rod to carry out the previous movements, as well as the emergency stop and repair me understanding the emergency stop as the blockage of the entire system preventing any movement of the rod in question; understanding how to restart the system after the emergency stop, being able to execute the desired movements of the cane at the convenience of the person in charge through said automatic system. Background of the invention

Mechanisms for catching a piece in live bait fishing are known in the state of the art, presenting a rod placed on a support that is fixed to the boat's gift (the boat's gift being understood as the railing located on the side of said boat boat) and which includes a horizontal rotation axis.

This horizontal axis of rotation allows the rod-hoisted movement that has a cable halyard that passes through the same free end and is attached to a reel where an engine collects or deploys the halyard; a reel being understood as a device where part of the rolling halyard is housed that allows its winding and unwinding when it comprises a turning axis.

The support also has a vertical axis of rotation that allows the movement of the cane in a horizontal plane from aft to pro-vice versa.

Among them is the US3484066 patent relating to a bidirectional mechanism for capturing live bait fishing piece provided with a rod held by means of a support for the ship's railing. The mechanism has an appropriate horizontal axis of rotation to raise and lower the shaft, a vertical axis adapted to move the shaft in a horizontal plane (from bow to stern or vice versa).

However, in the previous document, all operations must be carried out by an operator who is on the deck of the boat and who must lower it is wound on a reel driven by an engine. It is common that during the winding and unwinding of the same there are hooks that must be corrected by another sailor placed in that position.

The automatic live bait fishing system of the present invention overcomes all the above drawbacks by not having to manually perform the raising and hoisting operations as well as not requiring a sailor on the reel to maintain constant halyard tension to avoid snagging . Description of the invention

The present invention refers to an automatic fishing system with live bait with which the rod performs the movements of raising and lifting, as well as the simulation of the advance of the bait by operating a command that is controlled by a sailor located on the deck of the ship.

As we have commented, clarifying beloved, the movements are:

-

Arriate: downward movement of the channel normally with respect to a horizontal axis of rotation.

-

Lifting: upward movement of the shaft normally with respect to a horizontal axis of rotation.

-

Bait feed simulation: lateral movements of the rod normally with respect to the vertical turning axis.

The automatic live bait fishing system is composed of a rod placed on a support that is fixed to the boat's gift where the support has a horizontal axis that allows the rod to be moved, a vertical axis of rotation adapted to move the rod in a horizontal plane (proaapopao vice versa ) adapting in this way the movement of the rod to that of the boat and the bait to tempt the piece.

The rod has a control with which a sailor controls its operation both in terms of the movements of raising and lifting, as well as the simulation movement of the advance of the bait for the tiento of the piece.

Likewise, the command has an emergency stop button that includes means to stop all the movements of the cane in the event of a manual emergency; and another rearmament includes means for following an emergency situation and after pressing the emergency stop button, proceed to commissioning and perform the previously mentioned movements of the cane.

The control is controlled by a control system that sends the orders to an engine present in the halyard's reel for winding and unrolling, and allows the selection of the tilting of the rod for different landing and lifting positions.

The support allows a rotation on a horizontal axis around which the rod rotates to carry out the movements of the raised armature, and annotation on a vertical axis around which the cane rotates to simulate the advance of the bait to tempt the piece.

The motor present in the reel keeps the tension in the constant cable halyard, cable halyard that passes through the end of the rod, avoiding hooks in the halyard during winding or winding. Description of the drawings

In view of the foregoing, the present invention refers to an automatic fishing system with live bait with which the rod (1) performs the movements of raising and lifting, as well as the simulation of advance of the bait by operating a command (2) which is controlled by a sailor placed on the deck of the ship, where the command (2) is attached to a support (3) where the rod (1) is fixed.

The support (3), which is fixed on the boat's shaft, has a horizontal axis of rotation (3.1) that allows lifting and lowering of the vertical girder (3.2) to move the rod (1) from bow to stern or vice versa.

Likewise, the control (2) has an emergency stop button (2.1), a reset button (2.2), a lowering button tempting the part (2.3), a lifting button tempting the part (2.4), a button Lifting the rod (2.5), a lifting button without capture (2.6) in case the hook has to be reincarnated (said lifting button without capture (2.6) is used to wind a halyard (6) of cablesin fish because for various reasons such as that the live bait has come off, the hook is defective, etc., the halyard (6) of cable must be collected for handling), and a hoisted button with catch (2.7).

The control (2) is controlled by a control system (not shown in the Figures) that sends the orders to a motor (5.1) present in a reel

(5)

of the halyard (6) of cable for winding and unwinding.

The motor (5.1) present in the reel (5) maintains the tension in the halyard (6) of constant cable, halyard

(6)

of cable that is tied to the end of the rod, thus avoiding hooks on the halyard (6) of cable during winding or unwinding, since the halyard

(6)

The cable is tied at the end of the pipe and does not come into contact with any additional element that could cause possible snagging and difficult operation.

The essentiality of this invention does not alter variations in materials, shape, size and disposition of the component elements, described in a non-limiting manner, which is sufficient to be reproduced by an expert.

2. Statement motivated according to articles 29.6 and 29.7 of the Regulations for the execution of Law 11/1986, of March 20, on Patents on novelty and inventive activity; quotes and explanations in support of this statement The invention defined in the first claim is considered not to imply inventive activity as it results from the state of the art in an obvious way for a person skilled in the art. Any of documents D01 to D03 cited in the State of the Art Report could serve as the basis for the analysis, but we will take document D01 as the closest state of the art. This document D01 refers (see columns 1-4, figures) to an automatic lifting system of the piece caught in live bait fishing which, in relation to the technical object defined by the first claim of the application under study, anticipates (references in parentheses apply to that document D01):

-

Automatic fishing system with live bait (summary) comprising:

•

a command (5) that is controlled by a control system (sc, column 2, lines 2-4) that sends the orders to a motor (2) present in a reel (6, column 3, lines 28-29) which can wind or unwind a cable halyard (3) coupled to said reel (6) and where,

•

said motor (2) keeps the cable halyard in constant tension (column 1, lines 56-62) during the raising and lifting movements and the lateral movements of the rod.

The feature that " the motor keeps the cable halyard in constant tension " It does not clearly define the subject for which protection is sought, since it is a definition of a characteristic of the system based on the results that are intended to be achieved. The definitions depending on the result to be obtained or the function to be performed do not allow the person skilled in the art to determine what technical characteristics are necessary to achieve the defined result or function. However, since document D01 anticipates that "the automatic system presents means to command the operation / stop and rotation speed of the engine at the user's discretion and means to retain / control the speed of rotation of the motor to pick up / release rope with the appropriate speed to each specific situation ", it seems clear that the system presented in document D01 will be able to keep the cable halyard in constant tension during the movements of raising and lifting and the lateral movements of the rod, in order to achieve that during the winding and unrolling of the halyard, hooks do not occur, and thus also avoid the need for a sailor placed next to the reel to maintain tension in the halyard (see column 1, lines 63-column 2, line 4 of the document D01). Thus, the only difference between the technical object of the first claim of the application under study and the content of document D01, would be that:

-

in document D01 it seems that the sailor himself who operates the cane rests on the inkwell or "potrera" tied to his waist (figure 1), while in the application under study the system of the main claim includes a "support with a horizontal axis of rotation that allows to carry out the movements of lowering and raising the rod, and where said support comprises a vertical axis of rotation around which the shaft rotates and allows lateral movements of the shaft relative to said axis of vertical rotation ".

The inclusion of a rod support with a horizontal axis of rotation and a vertical axis of rotation in automatic fishing systems is well known in the state of the art as can be seen in documents D04 (column 1, lines 42-46 ) or D05 (summary, figures), so that its inclusion in a fishing system such as that of the main claim is considered obvious and within the reach of any expert in the field that from the system known by document D01 considered the possibility of improving it to increase the safety and comfort of sailor who drives the rod.  WRITTEN OPINION The rest of claims 2-3, depending on the main claim, are equally devoid of inventive activity in view of the state of the art represented by any of documents D01 to D03. Specifically and focusing on document D01, the characteristics of these claims are also included therein because in D01 it is foreseen (see column 1, lines 56-58, column 3, lines 24-25) the inclusion of "means for command the stop (second claim) / operation (third claim, reset) at the user's discretion ". These dependent claims are again unclear since these are definitions of system characteristics based on the results that are intended to be achieved, without clarifying what are the technical characteristics necessary to achieve the defined result or function. Apart from the fact that they are already anticipated in D01, these functions can be considered as obvious implementation details and available to any person skilled in the art designing an automatic fishing system of this type. For example, document D06 proposes the inclusion (and the way of implementation in an automatic fishing system) of the emergency stop and reset functions (lines 409-433). Thus, it is considered that the claims of the application under study lack inventive activity.
