Abstract

Reel with annular pick-up. The invention relates to a pick-up device 1 in the shape of a loop 2 with a ring 3 which is in motion and controls the line of a fishing rod with respect to its functions. The annular pick-up 1 represents a new technical principle in that it tilts to the front and rear of a rotating and fixed spool. In the casting position, the pick-up tilts forward and the ring 3 is placed in front of a fixed reel 5. In the recovery position, the pick-up 1 tilts upwards and the ring 3 is placed above the spool 5 which starts to rotate. In the dampener position 7, the pick-up 1 tilts to the rear of the spool 5 and its forward return travel dampens any traction carried out at the end of the line. This rearwards tilting brings the pick-up 1 under the control of a dampener 7 useful in striking and in sensitive playing of the fish. The dampening function is instantaneously reversible in the casting and recovery functions.

Description

The general description of the present invention relates to a device which has the characteristics of "containing" a wire in a manner integral with a reel, both during the launching of the line and during recovery, as well as allowing the amor - compaction of the line in pocket action
According to the state of the art in spinning fishing, the "take-up" function of the wire unwound from a fixed drum is performed by a rotating pick-up, or by a fixed "wire hook" compared to worn on a rotating drum. In this usual case, the dQ line throwing phase releases the wire entirely from the pick-up, only to engage it during the recovery phase. This technically decoupled "go" from the "return1" of the line limits its possibilities of use.

 The present invention is characterized by an annular pick-up (1) (i) the roll of which is not "to apprehend" the deployed thread appas the throw of the line: it "contains" it permanently and the mechanically orders through a service ring (3). This ring rocks at the front of the reel (5) to launch it; it tips over the spool for wire recovery; it rocks behind the coil to arm a damper (7); the coil (5) remaining fixed in the first case and rotating in the other two cases (fig. 1).

 The present invention provides an additional function to the role of the conventional winding pick-up. The device is characterized by its ability to dampen the traction operated at the end of the line (representation of Figs 1j2 / 3/4/5).

 In a complementary embodiment, according to the invention, the shock-absorbing annular pick-up device provides, in addition, full automation of the action of struts from the hooking up to the "fatigue" of the fish, by interaction of an electromagnetic device (representation of figs. 607/8).

 The shock-absorbing annular pick-up according to the invention is characterized by a handle (2) with symmetrical branches enclosing a large ceramic ring (3). The base of the handle is closed by a pick-up pin (8). The pick-up spindle moves perpendicularly to the spindle (9) spindle (5) by a rocking motion, from the lower front part of the reel body. The pickup (1) has a slightly conical shape towards the ring (3).

 The distance from the ring (3) to the spool (5), in the tilting arrangement before the pick-up, is equal to the diameter of the spool.

le centre de l'anneau (3) est dans l'axe (9) de la bobine. Le plan de l'anneau (3) se situe en parallèle au plan de la bobine (5) par fixation A l'anse (2) du pick-up (1). Dans les autres dispositions, le pick-up (1) est décalé de quelques millimètres droite par référence è l'axe (9) de la bobine (5) et le sens d'usage.The diameter of the ring (3) is equal to the radius of the coil. When the pick-up (1) is tilted in front of the spool (5),

the center of the ring (3) is in the axis (9) of the coil. The plane of the ring (3) is located in parallel with the plane of the coil (5) by fixing to the handle (2) of the pick-up (1). In the other arrangements, the pick-up (1) is offset by a few millimeters straight by reference to the axis (9) of the coil (5) and the direction of use.

 The reel body has a low fairing (10) around the spool (5) which envelops it narrowing towards the top.

The top of the reel (5) is uncovered over its entire width instead of winding the thread. According to the invention, this fairing is limited to the angle of incidence of the wire with the coil (5) by a hoop (ceramic, intended to receive the wire when the pick-up (1) is in the provision of amortization.

 The coil (5) has a disc brake (12) incorporated at the front, behind the brake button, in a conventional form.

The coil is embedded on an axis (9) mounted on bearings. The timing of these bearings is arranged in an advance of the reel body in a rear recess of the spool (5): the pinion (13) extending the axis (9) of the spool is located as far forward as possible.

According to the invention in view of Figure 1, the alternating stroke of the ring (3) of the pick-up (1) forms an arc which is divided into three functional segments corresponding to the following technical and practical provisions
- 1st provision (14)
The pick-up (1) tilts forward. Its course is carried out from the point of angle (c) to the point of angle (a): position to throw the line of puche
- 2nd provision (15)
The pick-up (1) switches over in height. Its travel is carried out from the angle point (a) to the angle point (c): engagement position of the recovery mechanism. Then the pick-up oscillates between the corner points (c) and (b): position of winding and recovery of the wire.

- 3rd provision (16)
The pick-up (1) tilts back. Its travel takes place from the angle point (c) to the angle points (d) or (e): arming position of the shock absorber (7). Then the pick-up tilts forward. Its course is carried out from the points of angles (e) or (d) towards the point of angle (b): position of damping of the line.

Special description of the characteristics of the
1st provision (14)
The front tilting of the pick-up (1) is controlled by a displacement of a few millimeters to the left of the pickup axis (8), with reference to the direction of use. The index finger of the hand holding the cane pushes against the right branch of the handle (2) or by pulling on the left branch.

 By this maneuver the shock absorber (7) is cut out from the pick-up axis (8). The dependent part of the shock absorber device (7) is characterized by a toothed cam (17) rotating freely between the pick-up axis (8) and a bearing (18). This shock absorber cam (17) is pierced with three cocking buttonholes (i9 - 20 - 21). The pick-up axis (8) is characterized, in this place, by an arming lever (22) integral ending in an arming lug (23) which, in operation, emerges from the first buttonhole (19).

 the front rocking movement of the pick-up (1) is then assisted by pulling the wire on the ring (3) or by hand or by turning the crank (24) in the opposite direction to its normal rotation. The pick-up appears slightly braked in this movement by the inertia of a part of the mechanism: the raised toothed cam (4) being notably displaced by the primary gear (6) in view of its function (as shown in fig. 43.

 The movement of the pick-up (1) is accompanied by the cocking lever (22) which guides the movement of the pick-up axis (8) along a slide (25). The cocking lever (22) ends up abutting against a rubber pad (26) ensuring the centering of the ring (3) of the pick-up in front of the coil (5). A return spring (27) maintains the arrangement (14).

 The inertial force of the ballast at the end of the launch line can also assist the tilting of the pick-up (1); otherwise the user is ready to throw after having retained the thread with the index finger. The spiral deployment of the wire disengaging from the spool (5) appears supported by the bottom fairing (10), guided and oriented towards the ring (3) by the handle (2) of the pick-up.

Special description of the characteristics of the
2nd provision (15):
The pick-up (1) is raised with normal use of the crank (24). The forward rotation of the primary gear (6) drives the gear of the lifting cam (4) which is integral with the pick-up axis (8). The pick-up (1) lifts up until the cocking lug (23) reaches the first buttonhole (19) of the shock absorber toothed cam (17). The return spring (27) pushes the pick-up axis (8) to couple this with the damping device. Simultaneously the raised toothed cam (4) is released laterally from the teeth of the primary gear (6) (This operation thus puts the elements of the 1st arrangement (14) in reverse function).

 The entire winding device now comes into contact with the rotary movement of the spool (5). I1 is characterized by a raised toothed cam (4) of the pick-up (1) whose stroke angles correspond. Superimposed on this cam on the pick-up axis (8), a winding arm (28) is positioned on the side of the secondary gear (29). The secondary gear (29) is doubled by a joint gear engaged with the pinion (13) of the spindle axis (9). The secondary gear (29) is characterized by the lateral presence of a stud (30) (or two or three) which, making contact with the winding arm (28), pushes the pick-up forward. up (1) is recalled back when the stud (30) moves away from the winding arm (28: the shock absorber (7) acting after being compressed.

 The wire recovery winding mechanism, which has come into operation, has enabled the damper (7) to be armed for minimal compression and relaxation of its spring. The role of the shock absorber (7) is limited in this case to bringing the ring (3) of the pick-up (1) to the point of angle (c) of its travel (as shown in fig. 1 and iR provision in 15). The ring (3) performs a "go and jerks over the spool (5). I1 places the wire in crossed turns, its arc of travel slightly exceeds the edges of the spool (5) by the fact of the angle of incidence protruding from the wire. This distribution of the wire implies a relatively narrow groove width (31) of the coil (5) and triangle profiles, the top of which best shares the turns.

 The cocking lever (22) also guarantees the end of travel of the pick-up (1) against a shock absorber stop (32) - next to the recess ensuring the end of travel in 1 st arrangement.

 The coil (5) turning to the right, with reference to the direction of use and considering the angle of incidence of the wire from the coil (5) to come to rest against the ring (3), this generates dre a pulling force on the pick-up (1) which assists the return spring (27) in proportion to the pulling force at the end of the line and avoiding any decoupling of the shock absorber.

Special description of the characteristics of the
3rd provision (16):
The angle formed by the shock absorber toothed cam (17), the distribution of the cocking buttonholes (19 - 20 - 21) on this cam, corresponds to the displacement of the damping function of the pick up: according to the representation of freeze 1 and provisions (15) and (16), the first buttonhole X ## ##### ### (19) at the corner point (c), the second ## (20) at the corner point (d), the three seat (21) at the corner point (e).

 The shock absorber device 1 according to the invention is essentially characterized by this cam (17) which, when the shock absorber comes into action, moves forward, causing the rotation in the shock absorber gear (33) and a primary pulley (34) integral with the same axis. The primary pulley (34) winds a cable (35), the other end of which is fixed to a support disc (36) at the end of the shock absorber spring (7). inside the spring from the inlet of a guide tube (379 and below a secondary pulley (38).

 The shock absorber device (7) reveals its possibilities in this relationship between its arming and damping: variation in the damping capacity - independently of the @ power -, shoeing on sudden rebound of the damper and subsequent damping immediate (according to a complementary embodiment of the invention, fig. 6/7/8).

 The user arms the shock absorber by manually decoupling the pick-up pin (8), which releases the cocking lug (23) from the cocking lever (22) of the first buttonhole (19). By pulling the pick-up (1) behind the lug (23) is positioned in the second buttonhole (20), under the effect of the thrust of the return spring (27). The user then benefits from an average arming of the shock absorber (7) for an average damping of the traction of the wire. The ring (3) of the pick-up can carry out a stroke, represented in fig. 1, from the corner point (d) to the corner point (b), under damping.

se positionne dans un arceau en céramique(11) et l'usager peut, en tournant la manivelle (24), récupérer simultanément la ligne et la bobine (5) tourner et agir en frein.When arming the damping device, the coil wire (5)

is positioned in a ceramic hoop (11) and the user can, by turning the crank (24), simultaneously recover the line and the coil (5) turn and act as a brake.

The use of the recovery function cannot however be continuous: the wire is distributed only over the back groove (31) of the coil (5).

 When the user brings the pick-up (1) completely back, the cocking lug (23) is positioned in the third buttonhole (21). The shock absorber is then in a position to act at its maximum capacity; the ring (3) of the pick-up can run, as shown in fig 1, from the corner point (e) to the corner point (b).

Tous les éléments de l'axe de pick-up (8), soit de gauche à droite dans le sens d'usage (28), (4), (22), sont réglables et bloqués par vis. L'axe de pick-up (8) est logé aux branches de l'anse (2), bloqué par vis.This position is suitable for the most sensitive damping of the traction operated at the end of the line. simultaneous recovery remaining possible but not recommended. The braking of the coil under the traction of the remaining functional wire. The user has the possibility of instantly switching to 2nd provision (15) and returning to 3rd provision (16) during a fishing action,
The shock absorber is useful for shoeing and 9 the delicate operation of a capture. it assists braking and the elasticity of the pole,
The reel body has a right side cover, located in the direction of use. This cover includes the bearings of the elements (8), (17) - common bearing -, and (33), (34) - bearing

of common axis. The left lateral fixed body comprises the bearings of the elements (6), (29), (8). All the elements of the pick-up axis (8), from left to right in the direction of use (28), (4), (22), are adjustable and locked by screws. The pick-up pin (8) is housed at the branches of the handle (2), locked by screws.

 The support disc (36) has a cable tightening screw (35) which is reached by an adjustment buttonhole (39) located at the rear of the reel support (405.

In a second embodiment, the following modifications are made to the present invention
- The shock absorber spring (7) is arranged in a tubular part of the rear extension of the reel. It is lengthened.

- The reel support (40) is designed in the form of a side handle integrated into the right part of the reel body, by reference to the direction of use.

 - The branches of the handle (2) of the pick-up (1) are slightly bent, enveloping the bearing of the crank pin (24) when the pick-up (1) is tilted back.

et le plus éloigné possible de l'axe de pick-up (8). - The gear pair (6) and (29) is in a calculated ratio so that the axis of the crank (24) is the lowest

and as far as possible from the pick-up axis (8).

 - The winding device (elements (4), (28), (30)) is deleted.

 - The double stop of differentiated depths (26 and 32) of the cocking lever (22) is reduced & a single stop of the pick-up position (1), so that the ring (3) forms an angle of 200 per relative to the axis (9) at the front of the coil (5).

 - The total stroke of the pick-up (1), from this new front corner point of the coil (5), is extended A backwards.

 - The buttonhole of the cam (17) of the shock absorber (7) is reduced to two holes, corresponding to the locations (19) and (21) with reference to the first embodiment of the invention.

1400 (c et e, comme représenté sur fig. 6). - The cam (17) and its buttonholes are made so that the pick-up (1) can take up a winding and arming arrangement of the shock absorber respectively above the rear winding of the coil (5) and at the new rear corner point of

1400 (c and e, as shown in fig. 6).

 - The pick-up (1) is significantly extended.

 These modifications imply the manual tilting of the pickup (1) from the line throwing arrangement (ring at the front) to the recovery arrangement. Winding being carried out "at sight": the distance from the ring (3) above the coil (5) forming a wire winding angle large enough for the effect of the ballast at the end of the line and the handling the rod during recovery carry out an oscillating movement of the ring (3) over the spool (5) for a distribution of the wire in its groove (31).

 These modifications bring greater capacity to the weaver (7), in a first mode of use suitable for the puu dru.

big fish, cane set. They also make the shock absorber available to a new mode of use and to a complementary technical function. A new embodiment presides over it.

 The present embodiment of the invention provides an additional device to the first embodiment of the invention. It is represented by Figures 6/7/8.

 The present embodiment of the invention is characterized by a device for arming the shock absorber (7) with a view to its use in "automatic error".

 This device is characterized by a lock (42) with electromagnetic control, actuated by an electromagnet (43). The armament is locked at the rear of the toothed cam (17) of the shock absorber (7), the lock (; 2) being pushed by a spring. Unlocking is carried out when the electromagnet (43) is energized (fig. 8).

 The device is powered by a 1.5 volt battery disposed at the top and inside the reel support (40). The electrical circuit goes through a button switch (44), the support and the reel body to come out under the pick-up spindle (8) by externally refogging the left branch of the handle (2) of the pick-up ( 1). An electrical and wire switch is attached to the end of the shackle (2). This dual function switch t45) is made up of a wire hook which opens the circuit in its gravitational balance position and closes the circuit when the fishing line tightens by actuating the arm.

 The present embodiment of the invention comprises two auxiliary and adaptable elements. The first constitutes a wire guide basket (46) made of plastic material which is fixed by fitting to the front of the reel fairing (10). It follows the shape of this low fairing on a little more than the half cronconference until near the service ring (3); it goes up to the hoop base (11). The second element constitutes a frustoconical polyurethane stopper which fits into the ring (3.

During the use of the shock absorber (7) in "error", these devices operate in the following manner
The switch button being on "stop", the user first arms the shock absorber (7) by tilting the pick-up (1) completely back: the lug (23) of the cocking lever (22) is positioned in the rear buttonhole (21) of the shock absorber cam (17).

 Then the user arms the "shoeers - who represents the shock absorber suddenly relaxes - pushing the pick-up (1) all the way forward: this compresses the shock-absorber spring (7) as much as possible. When the pick-up arrives at an angle of 200 at the front of the axis of the coil (5), the lock (42) is relaxed by its spring and it locks the arming of the "error" at the rear of the cam (17) this is shown in Fig. 8 and 6).

bannière précédant l'anneau (3) derrière le bras "croche fil" du commutateur élec- trique. L'interrupteur (44) peut être mis sur "marche". The line banner being stretched, the user takes the plug (47) into the ring (3) from the rear to wedge the wire. This plug is useful to prevent the line from slipping in the ring during automatic hooking. The strand of the line between its pinch in the ring (3) and the spool (5) is passed behind the hoop (11): which keeps the thread in the groove (51 of the spool. The user Last pass

banner preceding the ring (3) behind the wire hook arm of the electrical switch. The switch (44) can be set to "on".

 the automation of the fishing action is carried out when a relative traction at the end of the line causes the "hook-wire" arm to tip forward, bringing the contact to the switch circuit (45). The electromagnet (43) attracts the latch (42) which unlocks the damper cam (17). The shock absorber greatly relaxes: the pick-up (1) shoves the fish; the plug (4?) is ejected from the ring (3) by the recoil; the line is placed in the hoop (II) or enters it guided by the basket (46). Following this operation, the capture at the end of the line is subject to the immediate amortization of the pick-up (1). If the spool (5) is exceeded by the stroke in front of the ring (3), under the force of a pull, the wire can overflow a few turns of the spool (5) - which constitutes a safety -; however the basket (46) allows the line to join the reel (5) when the pick-up (1) comes back under the effect of the shock absorber (7) and to be replaced in the hoop ( He).

 The movement in space of a ring makes it possible to enslave in this way contrary forces pulling on the ends of the wire which crosses it; one of these forces being mechanical in this case: the fisherman limiting himself to controlling the action.

 The reel with an annular pick-up, shock absorber, is specially adapted, in this second version according to the invention, for fishing for pike perch and carp, rod placed and moored. Carried out in a higher capacity mode, it is suitable for very large fish, in sport fishing at sea.
