DESCRIPTION

Fixation system for fishing float, fishing float and manufacturing processes of the fixing system and the fishing float.

Technical sector

The present invention relates to a system for fixing a counterweight to the counterweight or floating element of a fishing float, a fishing float comprising said fixing system as well as the corresponding manufacturing methods of the fixing system and the float.

Object of the invention is to achieve a substantial improvement in the protection and duration or useful life of the fishing float.

Background of the invention

A fishing float normally has a body of revolution comprising two parts, an upper one of lower density than water, called a floating body, and a lower one of heavy material, called a counterweight, which determines that the center of gravity as a whole is displaced towards the bottom of the float, which allows to give stability to the float in the water. The two parts are glued with glue or glue.

Document FR-A-2852787 shows a fishing float in accordance with the aforementioned model and in which, in order to maintain a good fixation between the two parts, in addition to the glue, it comprises a metallic cable that crosses it axially and reinforces the fixation of both parts.

There is a second type of fishing float comprising a hole that axially crosses the float-counterweight assembly, for the passage of the fishing line, and a wedge to fix, at the will of the fisherman, the float at the desired distance between said Float and hook.

In these floats, the fixing of the counterweight to the floating body is done by gluing the two surfaces of the two parts.

This type of fixation has the disadvantage of being little resistant and when the float hits a rock, the separation of the upper or floating part and the counterweight can occur, forcing the complete replacement of the float. It is even possible to break the nylon of the fishing line by denting the lower part of the counterweight, with the consequent loss of the hook and / or float, due to the lack of protection of said lower part of the counterweight.

Explanation of the invention.

The fixing system for fishing float proposed by the invention allows a better and more resistant fixing between the two parts of the float as well as a better protection of the counterweight, so that the life of said float is extended.

For this, the fixing system of the lower part or counterweight to the upper part or floating body of the float comprises an elongated and hollow element, whose wall at its lower end comprises a radially outward flange that serves as a support and protection of the counterweight. Furthermore, said elongated element wall comprises in

its outer surface at least one structural element or protrusion, formed entirely with the wall of the elongate element and protruding outward from said wall. This highlight can be of the type drop, nail, wedge, pin, tip or similar.

Additionally, the invention comprises a fishing float comprising said fixing system and in which the elongated and hollow tube has a circular or polygonal perimeter.

The invention also relates to the manufacturing process of both the fixing system and the fishing float comprising the fixing system.

Finally, the invention relates to a fishing float comprising the fixing system.

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where Illustrative, not limiting, the representation has been represented. next.

Figure 2.- Shows the fixing system according to the invention as the final product.

Figure 3.- Shows a semi-section of the front section of the fixing system according to figure 2.

Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d.- They show the elongated and hollow element, whose outer wall shows the different structural elements or projections.

Figure 5.- Shows a section of the float section for fishing already mounted.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

For simplicity, it has been preferred to present the above figures with the different highlights in the same view. It is to be noted that the fixing system starts from the base that at least one of these projections forms part of the wall of the elongated and hollow element. It is possible, however, the combination, in the same elongated element, of the different projections, both in number and in distribution on the outer wall of the elongated element.

In view of the aforementioned figures, the fixing system between the upper or floating part 1 and the lower part or counterweight 2, joined by means of glue according to the state of the art, can be seen in figure 1. Figure 2 shows an exterior view of the fixing system according to the invention. The wall 31 of the elongated and hollow element 3 comprises, in its upper part, the projections 4 and, in its lower part, an outward flange 5, which serves as a support and protection against the counterweight 2.

Figure 3 shows a front half-section of the fixing system, in which the protrusions 4 formed integrally with the elongate element 3, and the flange 5 towards the outside, serving as support and protection of the counterweight 2 can be seen.

As previously described, in addition to serving as a stop or support of the counterweight, the flange 5 has the advantage or the additional effect of serving as an anti-shock protection of the counterweight itself, since in the case of a rod launch in which the float counterweight was to hit the rocks, the flange protects the lower part of the counterweight which, without the protective flange, could deform and cause the cutting of the nylon thread of the cane.

Figures 3A to 3D show the elongated and hollow element 3 whose wall or outer surface protrudes the different structural elements or projections 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 in their different types and conformations. These structural elements comprise all types of projections, distributed throughout the upper part of the outer surface, including the combination between them the different projections 4 in the same element 3 or a single element that extends annularly or spirally throughout the wall. exterior (figures 3C, 3D).

On the other hand, the perimeter of the outer wall 31 outside the hollow elongate member can be circular or polygonal.

Figure 4 shows, separately, the top or float and the fixing system according to the invention in the pre-assembly stage.

Figure 5 shows an ae caries section of fishing float, where the fixing system already introduced in the floating top is seen, and where the improvement of the fixing of the counterweight 2 to the top 1 or floating is clearly seen, thanks to element 3 with projections 4 and flange 5, in the counterweight fixing system.

The invention also comprises a manufacturing process of the fixing system as well as the fishing float.

The manufacturing method consists of the following stages: the elongated and hollow element 3 is manufactured whose outer wall 31 includes at least one structural element or projection 4; subsequently, the counterweight is introduced at the opposite end, free of projections 4, of the element 3 and finally the projection 5 is formed at said projection free end so as to serve as a stop, closure or support of the counterweight 2.

The method of manufacturing the fishing float comprises the following steps - the upper part 1 or floating is made up comprising the axial central hole 32, the fixing system according to the invention is also manufactured and finally the fixing system is introduced at its upper end by the lower part of the axial central hole 32 of the upper or floating part. In this process it is possible, before the introduction, to add an adhesive, glue or the like on the outer surface of the wall of the elongate element 3.
