Abstract

THE INVENTION RELATES TO A FISHING FLOAT. THIS FLOAT INCLUDES A FLOATING BODY 21 SUITABLE TO FLOAT, AS WELL AS PARTS 27, 28 ADAPTED TO THE FLOAT 20 IN ORDER TO GUIDE IT ALONG THE FISHING LINE 26, TO LOCK IT THEN ON THIS LATTER AT THE DESIRED FISHING DEPTH, A GUIDING ORGAN 29 BEING FIXED TO THE LOWER END OF FLOAT 20, WHICH IS OR NOT PROVIDED WITH A SECOND GUIDING ORGAN 24 ADAPTED TO BODY 21 OR ABOVE. THE FLOAT OF THE INVENTION IS USED TO FISH ANY DESTABLE DISTANCE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WATER.

Description

The present invention relates to a float for fishing at any

  the desired distance from the bottom of the water, this float comprising a body provided with a buoyancy characteristic, and members in the form of eyelets or slots intended to guide the fishing line and adapted to the float in order to guide it along the fishing line,

  to block it then at a certain point

  corresponding to the desired fishing depth, a guide member being attached to the lower end of the

  float, the latter being provided or not with a second

  guide member adapted to the floating body or

above it.

  Previously, we fished with a "fixed" float, that is to say a float in which we passed the line between the corp-s floating or the cap and the rod passing through the latter,

  the movement of the float along the line becomes

"hardly".

  Subsequently, we saw the emergence of

  slider, that is to say a float that can move freely along the fishing line by means of organs guiding the latter, the thrust

  being provided, in the case of an automatic movement

  that by the upward pressure exerted on the

  or the hollow plug when the latter is thrown

in water.

  In almost all cases, we fish on the bottom or directly above depending on the type of fish we want to fish, or at the height

  to which the fish seeks food.

  Therefore, it is necessary to know

  the depth of the water where you want to

  expensive. For this purpose, it is most often used a lead-probe that is applied to the hook or

around this last.

  After fixing the float on the line at a height that is evaluated or by printing a small shake to the line so that, if it is a slippery float, the latter can not go up more, it launches then to the desired place. Yes

  the water is deeper than we think, under the ef-

  fet of weight exerted by the probe lead, the float disappears into the water while, if this is

  less deep, the float then sets flat.

  We then move the float towards the place that we consider to be the good one and we launch again. Very often, it is found that, in this case, the float disappears again or comes to lie flat, so that the evaluation is again erroneous. This is repeated very often 8 to 10 times before knowing the

exact depth.

  The disadvantage of this primitive system lies in the fact that we disturb the place where we fish

  by constantly throwing a piece of lead into it. In pre-

  of a soft bottom, the lead sinks into it and

  notes that the depth is not yet accurate.

  At a greater distance, it happens very often that, during the casting, the lead goes too far and that, consequently, it carries out its sounding at a too great distance, since as well one can not launch the bait with this distance without this counterweight

additional lead.

  Currently, there are different systems

  (usually very complicated) to avoid this incon-

  such as self-blooming floats,

  self-adjusting floats, etc., that is, structures

  generally very complicated

  have been appreciated by the fishermen and who, from

  had to be removed from the market by the manufacturers

facturers.

  This is how we know many

  patents and patent applications, including an invention

  which is the subject of the applicant's Netherlands Patent No / 18350. This invention relates to a self-adjusting float, but it appeared that the manufacture of this float was too expensive and that its use was too complicated. In addition, the Applicant has filed a patent application for a float for performing a sounding at one time, that is to say a float to know at one time the depth of the water (n of deposit 71/04614). This patent application

  was also canceled because, very often, one of the functions

  of this system has not been effective, mainly

  at a greater distance and in the waters

  rants or under the effect of the force of the wind.

  The essential characteristic of this system lies in the fact that, because of the weight of the

  probe lead, it forms, in the line, a

  bending on which is fixed the float when

bring the line back.

  However, in practice, it appears that, even in the presence of a small stream of water or the wind keeps the line taut or that it is too big or that, if the inflection is too strong, the float then becomes firmly fixed

  on the line and does not rise to the surface of the water.

  The tightening of this system is obtained by letting the weight exert pressure on the inflection of the line. This weight must be

  quite heavy or inflection must be strong enough.

  The formation of an inflection that is adopted in the known floats, is not sufficient to obtain a clear indication of the fishing depth measured by the float, since it can move especially when the line is too much

  thin. The present invention overcomes this problem.

  deny that the lower guiding member is equipped with elements which, in addition to guiding,

  are also able to curb or stop

  base the free movement of the float along

the fishing line.

  Better braking and better braking

  their tightening than those that can be achieved so far in the usual floats without, however, forming a too strong inflection (it must indeed be avoided, otherwise the float is fixed on the line and can not move freely along

  of it) because the organ. lower guideline

  ge extends horizontally or with a slight inclination

at the bottom of the stem.

  In the known float, the lower guide member is arranged vertically and has the shape of a fairly large slot made axially in the lower end of the rod. However,. in the float according to the present invention, the lower guide member extends horizontally in the form of an eyelet or slot or is arranged at a slightly different angle. In this way, the inflection formed in the fishing line is smaller. Similarly, because the small slot or small eyelet adopted in the float of the present invention, has dimensions rather small,

  the ascent to the surface of the water is thus favored.

  risen without significant braking.

  The formation of the inflection can be

  forced without causing too much braking

  because, according to the present invention, the

  The lower guiding guide is made in duplicate, the two elements thus formed being located next to each other.

  from each other or one above the other.

  Now, we know floats with which one can probably also form very strong inflections in the line, For this purpose, we pass the line through two small holes made face to face in the stem or through a

  the only small side hole that can be

  through the latter, the line then extends through the hollow rod. In fact, by practicing

  In this way, one can also form strong

  but because of the element used for this purpose,

  fet (the small side hole), the line passing through

  to this element exerts a braking effect on the float and thus, this element is not suitable for making other arrangements in connection with the control of the degree of braking or clamping. -A

  "outer" organ is better suited for this purpose.

  In addition, a small lateral hole has a direct influence on the buoyancy of the float when it is located below the water line, which is not always desirable while, in many cases, for example, in presence of wind, current, a

  line of strong section, etc., the float does not rise.

  If the inflection is sufficiently pronounced, no particular requirement must be imposed on the material of which the lower body of

  guide. The latter can then be smooth all

  when it is made, for example, of metal.

  The inflection forming in this case, is perfectly sufficient to locate the place of the level, but no

  to fish after the survey, the float

  like a slippery float. The fldc-

  Each time the fishery is set, it will usually be necessary for the float to slide down along the line when it is brought back. The float can not be fixed at the risk of blocking the race of the

24729 1 5

  line through the eyelets of the fishing rod. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a special upper guide member. According to the invention, the two elements are made of a smooth material while, as a whole, the guide member can cooperate with a upper guide member

in the form of a "removable" eyelet.

  By the term "removable eyelet". we-

  Here an eyelet consisting of a small piece of spring steel wire, folded in the form of a grommet, in which a fishing line can easily be passed from the outside via the opening formed between the mutually crossed branches without whether

  necessary to pass this line through-

  this opening of the eyelet. The line is introduced into the eyelet not in the vertical direction, but in the lateral direction. Conversely, proceeding in the same way, you can remove the fishing line

  of the carnation. Therefore, if we want to identify the

  fishing founder on the line, one detaches side-

  the latter of the upper eyelet, after which the

  float switches to where the line passes through

  towards the lower double eyelet and then, when the float is brought back, it can be fixed firmly

on the fishing line.

  In this way, particular

  the veneration of long distance fishing; it was

  mainly in this respect that it was the most

  thinkable to make improvements. By arranging in this way an eyelet in the upper position, it can now easily remove the line during

the poll.

  In this case, it is no longer even necessary

  to provide a probe lead: the line passes through the lower eyelet having, for example, the

  8, because the float comes into

  : 7 expensive horizontally on the water. If we bring back the line, the float tumbles. He is thus suspended by the head, so that he firmly holds the line. This system works very well, even at very great distances, while one does not disturb

  not the fishing spot by throwing a piece of lead.

  Similarly, in this case, the section of the line has no adverse influence on the proper functioning or not. If the 8 is made so that it is hinged or removable with only one of its eyelets, during fishing, the two eyelets can be folded against each other and the line can be removed from the removable eyelet of

  so that, as is usually the case in

  land, we fish with a single eyelet down the stream-

  tor, that is without using the ring or the eye-

  higher let. Folding the 8 tightly or removing the line of an eyelet from this 8, we have

  then an ordinary sliding float with

  both a single carnation below (a system readily adopted in England); if we deploy or unfold then the 8 or, if we place the line in the second eyelet of the 8, we can then perform a single survey at great distance. If the line is placed in a removable eyelet adapted to the upper part of the float or the floating body, this float then operates in the manner of a normal sliding float which is generally used in European countries,

except in England. -

  This system offers the advantage of working perfectly at great distances; however, it will not work if fishing vertically or perpendicularly below the top of the cane

  fishing. In this case, it is usually

  the line through 8. If we fish in

  under the top of the fishing rod or directly next to it, one can then obtain better results with a system in which the two elements of

  the double guide member are, preferably,

  from each other. In order to have more grip on the line

  without the formation of an inflection exerts a

  braking force too high when the float is raised or if it is necessary to have an element which, to ensure a good braking or clamping effect, is less dependent on the section of the line, it is appropriate that the guide member - lower or stil is a dual embodiment, one of the two elements of this body, ends in a cone. However, if one applies a material exerting a braking effect to the place where the inflection is placed, it is then necessary to apply only a pressure distinctly

  weaker or minimal inflection; so that-

  a lighter lead is sufficient and that, while the line is stretched under the effect of pressure -du

  current or wind, the float may nevertheless be

  worm to the surface of the water, after which it is brought back and remains easily at the place where it

has climbed.

  The float according to the invention is realized

  in such a way that the braking and / or

  rage of the element concerned of the aforementioned organ on the pocket line is based on the fact that this element is made of at least one material having good

  elastic properties. This inventive concept can be-

  realized in various ways. The elastic material can at the same time be smooth. - We will mention the steel

  spring. The Applicant has thus realized -

  remarkable specimens that have had some success

  these. The elasticity of the branches of the V is suf-

  to firmly fix a fishing line.

247291 5

  Another embodiment is that which, according to the invention, is characterized in that

  the elastic material is at the same time rough.

  According to a practical embodiment

  ideally, the element concerned of the aforementioned member is made of a combination of a smooth and rough material. In this respect, mention will also be made, inter alia, of an embodiment according to which the guide member is folded not at the start of a wire, but at the start of a strip, for example,

  narrow band covered with rubber, rubber

  foam rubber, synthetic foam or the like,

  essentially on the face that can enter into

  tact with the fishing line. In this respect,

  also the embodiment according to the-

  what the smooth material is entirely surrounded by the rough material or also that this

  rough material only partially covers the material

  smooth. Therefore, according to a very universal provision of the invention, the rough material completely or partially covers the

smooth material.

  Preference is given to a float that

  characterized in that the rough material comprises

  an inner core of smooth material. For this core, it is very advantageous to use

  springs that is completely or partially covered

  for example, rubber (applied by injection

  immersion, etc.). When the spring steel is bent into the shape of a V, it possesses, in this form, an elastic force such that, when a fishing line is placed in the narrower part, by spreading them away from each other, branches of the V, the force of repression exerted in these branches

  with the rough material (for example, the rubber

  when it is not requested (when

  ge), but also when requested (when

  that the fish bite the bait), while by small, moderate tweaks, the line can be broken.

  guaranteed at any desired time.

  A completely rough element can offer too much resistance, even in the enlarged part of this element that precedes the line. We can remedy

  disadvantage when the element / organ terminates

  cone is rough in its narrower

  however, it is smooth in its wider part.

  In order to achieve the above provision

  in a simple embodiment, the elements

  for guiding and fixing comprise an eyelet at the lower end of the floating body, this eyelet being partially filled with an element

  slip resistant water resistant. This anti-discrimination element

  water-resistant pant preferably consists of

  of rubber, a resin, a two-component glue

  or similar material, while it is also possible to adopt

similar properties.

  In addition, the elements provided for guiding

  and the attachment comprise an upper organ of guiding

  the side of the float, for example, a ring, thanks to which the line of fishing

  example, by a probe lead, extends over a

  sufficient distance along the body of the float when

  that the latter occupies a vertical position.

  In practice, it can be seen that the application

  cation of the rough material on the smooth material is accompanied by certain difficulties. A simpler system then consists in practicing, on the outer surface of the rough material, a groove in which is adapted to the smooth material undergoing

an elastic tension.

  In this case, the rough material may be disc-shaped having, on its periphery, an outwardly directed groove, a V-section being thus cut or cut in this disc. Furthermore, the rough material having a groove and made of rubber, resin or synthetic material may have a shape deviating from that of a disk or a circle, for example, the shape

  Thanks to this form, it is very easy to adapt

  ter section of the fishing line, the degree of

  braking which is ensured by this organ.

  If the braking material is then applied into the V groove and the line is passed through the upper eyelet, the lower eyelet and also through the V so that when the float is the vertical, the line does not touch the braking material, the float will then also rise freely to the surface at great distance

  even if no lead is used.

  swim; as soon as the float inclines (especially

  days to the side of the eyelets), whether of strong or weak section, the line passes firmly in,

  the V and the float-is thus ready to be immediate-

  launched to fish. If the fish bite on the

  we can not see it then normally. However, if the fish goes with - the bait, the line comes out

  then V and it is considered that this is a condition

  less favorable. Therefore, when the float does not move because the line passes more

  or less firmly in the V, it is necessary to

  take a quick tap at the line; indeed, since the line extends perpendicularly towards

  the bottom below the float and that the upper part

  of this line extends horizontally over the water, these parts of the line forming together

  at an angle, the line receives a shake

  xant more firmly in the V (so-called start-effect). If you exercise a stronger shake, while

  we thus firmly fix the line, we can

  rer this up or down through the float to fish in the bottom if desired. If there is a strong shock then the line is

  clear again. Always under the effect of this sudden

  that energetic movement, the line curves, thus creating a force pushing the line away from the V-groove. The aforementioned possibilities of this type of float are especially interesting when fishing predators such as pike-perch. In this case, the end of the fishing line is weighed down by small lead pellets through which the bait

  drags on the bottom. If we want to capture

  then you have to troll, that is, pull the line in the water. In this case, so far, the sounding was done with a fixed or sliding float which was lead weighted so

  to sink. If the float sank, we know

  then went through a cavity; however, normally the predators to which pikeperch belong, normally stand in a cavity on the lookout for prey. It is obvious that pike-fishing with a conventional float that, so to speak, can not "follow" the fluctuations of the configuration of the bottom of the water (in particular the passage

  cavities), does not take place under conditions

  ideal conditions. That's why in this kind of fishing,

  we often grope without a float. always

  In this case, we lose a lot of excitement

2 47291 5

  and the charm enjoyed during fishing by sight, notably the observation, by means of the float,

  the approach of bait by fish and

  ensuing events. Moreover, in this case, it often happens that one does not catch the fish at one time, because it is frightened by the

  resistance he feels when groping.

  The new float according to the invention is ideal for this aspect of sport-angling because, by means of small dry twists and light, the float can tighten or loosen on the

  line, so that the latter may at any time

  be set to the desired fishing depth.

  If we see the sink float and we find X when we practice trolling, that we go through a cavity, then we can react promptly and immediately. In order to increase the length of the fishing line, it is necessary to exercise a jerk or a vigorous jerk at the upper end of the fishing rod, which has the effect of releasing the line of its tightening in the slot,

  while the depressed float rises with the speed

  in one stroke towards the surface of the water. In exercising

  with a tap, the float is firmly fixed on the fishing line and we can then

  the cavity, the float remaining upright and visible.

  If the float is lying flat, then we know that the cavity is exceeded. The line that

  in the water, -is too long and,

  With vigorous tweaks, the line can be pulled through its clamping point into the slot and thus adjusted to its exact length until the float

straightens.

  This type of float can also be used

In particular, for fishing in the presence of ebb and flow, this phenomenon occurs in open water, particularly in the Netherlands, and forces the angler to continually probe the depth of the water. With the new float, you can leave the line in the water and you just need to correct the length of the line from time to time by applying small tweaks. When the water is at low tide (the water level is moving from the

  low tide towards high tide), it is necessary to

  vigorous blows as well,

  in this case, the float must constantly be light-

  clear of the line. On the other hand, when the level of the water goes down, exerting smaller shaking, it is advisable to again pass the line through the point of tightening in order to prevent the float from coming to lie flat on the surface of water, which is not possible with the float

  classic. Similarly, with the new float of the in-

  vention, we can omit these small shakes or we can launch the float at great distance. One can practically envisage all eventualities, while the float itself is of a very simple construction.

  Similarly, instead of a configura-

  V-shaped, with this type of clamping brake, it is possible to use a skewed rubber or small arms-spring (spring steel) and the like; likewise> one can also make sure that these

  small arms are placed obliquely on one side.

  above each other, thus creating, in the line, a

  inflection ensuring a more efficient tightening.

  -According to another anticipated improvement, in particular, when fishing below the top of the cane, during the survey, a larger float

  as light as possible with which we obtain gen-

  the best results when fishing. -

2 4729 1 5

  In this way, in combination or not with one or more of the aforementioned provisions, it leads to a characteristic structure in which the body of the float is hollow while, in the wall of the lower part of the body or plug, there is a lateral opening acting as a leakage orifice co-operating with the upper part of which

  stem is mobile, thus allowing the flow of

  tability. When fishing below the top of the cane, the line remains vertical-above the water and float, so that it does not get too stiff soon

  as is often the case when fishing further;

  Momentary damage can be brought to this problem by greater buoyancy. However, in practice this provision will not be as effective,

  although for fishing with live bait, the

  tability is very favorable. After a certain

  In the meantime, a little fish is always tired and does not carry the float so easily; so that it should

  to offer a little less resistance. Moreover,

  fishing with live bait, we never have

  fish of the same strength and size. Therefore, strictly speaking, the float should be dropped at any time (equip it with a

  lead) or vice versa. Therefore, from now on, this

  can be changed simply by using the

  introducer melter of the rod. When this rod sinks deep into the cork, it can only penetrate a small amount of water through the

  side hole because as soon as the lower end

  the stem sinks into the water, the air in the cork can not escape. Since then,

  the volume of air and, ipso facto, the buoyancy

  a large amount of water can seep in and the

16-

  tability decreases proportionally.

  In addition, in running water, it will take more

  lead in stagnant water to maintain the flow of

  and bait at the desired location. With the float according to the present invention, the resistance of the float can be easily adjusted to the present amount of lead. There was already a system for

  to overcome this resistance, in particular by

  ser two small tubes on top of each other with a waterproof bottom. Because leaks quickly occur in this system, the system has been removed from the market. Similarly, there are floats that we

  can fill with sand or water and can be

  then close, for example, with a small cap to ensure the desired resistance. The system of the Applicant is different: we do not change the buoyancy of the float, but we let in

  more or less water ad libitum until

  tune the set height, while the air can escape through the stem, thus allowing the aforementioned resistance to be changed much more rapidly.

fishing course.

  It is thus possible to obtain a float that can be used for many purposes and which, therefore, is universal, the angler not having to

  practically change the maneuvers

  to which he was accustomed while, moreover, the whole of this float practically gives rise

  no increase in the cost price, that is to say

  say that it can in particular be realized very simple-

  and at most it is sufficient to produce, for example, only one additional eyelet

  swimming (rubber or latex) or a; analogous material exerting a strong friction. Perhaps this is not even necessary when you slightly change the position of the V configuration.

  The present invention will be described below.

  embodiment shown in Figure 11.

  The float 10 shown in FIG. 1 consists of a floating body or stopper provided with an "antenna" or upper rod 12, as well as a lower rod 13. To this float, are fixed

  guiding members, in particular a guide member

  upper section 14 provided in the plug or the flow-

  11, and a lower guide member 15 near the end of the lower rod 13. These guide members serve to guide the float 10 along a fishing line 16. The upper guide member 14 is in the form of a "removable" eyelet, while the lower guide member is in the form of a float eyelet or an "8", which means that this float is suitable for distance The fishing depth can be measured without having to use lead probes because the float is easily

  prior to fishing line 16 near the eye-

  In a mode of fishing which is very fashionable in England, the eyelet 14 is removed, while a single eyelet having the shape of an 8 is then removable. During the survey, we then place

  the line in this eyelet while, when

  actually, we remove the line of this eyelet and thus, the float slides perfectly with a

  movement back and forth through this one and only

  than eyelet. Therefore, if the float is set for sounding (only by the two eyelets in the shape of "8"), when it is launched, it will rise fairly quickly along the line 16. If we raise the line , the float will then switch to the

  assembly point located near the guide member

  lower and then, by means of the doubly eyelets

  he will settle firmly on the fishing line because of the strong inflection

  ple, be oblong, V-shaped, oval-shaped or the like and a layer having an effect

  shown in this figure, the

  Figure 3 shows a float 30 com-

  carrying a single lower guide member 35.

  This body may be in V at the tip of which is pre-

  braking material 39, for example, a

  latex ball obtained by immersing the tip of the V in a solution after evaporation of the solvent

  latex. In this case too, we can clearly see

  that, as in other forms of

  the formation of an inflection presents no particular difficulty. On the other hand, the aim is to make the course of the fishing line 36 through the eyelets 34, 35 also straight

  as possible so that the float can rise quickly

  Dement. Braking and tightening are fully ensured by the V configuration, as well as by the

  presence of braking material 39.

  In addition, Figure 4 shows a float whose upward pressure is adjustable. This adjustment possibility is obtained by means of a small lateral hole 45 made in the hollow plug 41,

  as well as by the length over which the upper stem

  upper 42 may be inserted into this plug 41.

  Therefore, this upper part can go up and down (see arrow 48) and it is hollow so that, when water enters through the small lateral hole 45, the air contained in the hollow space 47 can escape through the rod 42. The deeper the hollow rod 42 is introduced into the plug 41, the smaller the amount of water that can penetrate into the hollow interior space 47 of the plug via the small hole 45. Therefore, when the upper rod 42 is depressed deeply, the buoyancy is at its maximum, If the float 40 is so light that

  If, as a result of the rough material 52, the guide member encounters too much resistance or friction, the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 7 provides an improvement since, in this case, the rough material 52 is

  limited to part 54 which becomes narrower,

  say that the wide part 53 is smooth. Therefore, the fishing line can move quickly in this part, while it can be easily maintained in the narrower part 54.

  A third embodiment is

  presented in Figure 8 which illustrates a trans-

  of a guide member (not shown) in the same manner as in FIGS. 5 and 6. In this FIG. 8, it can be seen that the smooth material 56 is made in the form of a flat strip whose inner face (that contacting the fishing line) is covered with a rough material 570. A fourth embodiment is shown in FIG. 9 in which the branches 58 of the guide member do not terminate.

  tip, but in a small spiral 59.

  The float shown in Figure 10 is con-

  characterized by a float body 61 terminating somewhat in cone towards both ends and having, on its upper face, a small rod 62 which, during line fishing, is above the surface of the water for as long. that a fish has not yet bitten to the bait. On its underside, the float body is provided with an eyelet 63 made, for example, of brass or a similar material so that, when the float is in a vertical position, the surface of this eyelet is approximately

  horizontally, that is to say horizontally or slightly

  below. In addition, a cylindrical bush

  64 cooperates with the upper body of the body-

  61. A fishing line represented by a

  line in broken lines 65 and supporting a hook

  At its lower end, it can be clamped between this bushing 64 and the float body 61 by sliding the bushing forward on the fishing line. So far, it can be said that it is a normal float, if the length of the fishing line extending between the float and the bottom of the water is

  too big, after casting, the small stem 62

  go to bed on the water and, if this length is

  too short, this little stalk disappears

  underwater. By giving each time another position to the fishing line with the bushing 64, at least after seven throws, an experienced fisherman can

find the correct position.

  The particular characteristic of the invention

  is the anti-skid element 67 which replaces

  folds part of the eyelet 63 while, on the

  With the float body, a ring 68 is adapted to

  to which the fishing line also passes.

  If we then pull the bushing 64 towards the

  on the fishing line and if the float is thrown into the water by hooking a small piece of lead to hook 66, when the assembly comes into contact with the

  bottom, the float will rise along the line

  that it reaches the surface of the water. If,

  following, all this fishing system out of the water, thanks to the anti-slip element 67 provided in the eyelet 63, the float body 61 will not slip on the fishing line 65 and the latter may be fixed in sliding the bushing 64 on the

float body 61.

  In Figure 11, we again represent the

  lower eyelet or eyelet 63, a thread 71 of a

  smooth elastic spring being adapted in a groove 77 directed outwardly (Figure 12), while

  that the whole is surrounded by a covering of

  rough disc-shaped 72 in which is practiced

  an open opening 73O. This angel must be C-tre

  adapted under some prestress in the flow-

  61, it is not always easy.

  In figure 13s it is another method.

  In this case, along the outer periphery of

  rough material 76, there is also a rationale for

  Nure 77 (see also Figure 12) in which is installed a folded wire 78 of a smooth elastic material

  under an elastic tension. This tension is obtained

  nude that, when relaxed, at the point of the curve or elbow 79 between the branches 81,

  the wire 78 forms an angle less than the angle 82

  between the branches 83 of the rough material 76.
