Abstract

A fishing line (6) has shock absorbing devices (1) to (4) fitted to the part of the line which passes through the hollow fishing rod. The line (6) is formed into a series of loops (5) with the ends of each loop attached to a tension spring (1,2,3,4) and with the end tension spring attached to a ring (13). A short line (16) attached to this ring (13) carries a spring (17) and a hook (18). When a fish pulls on the hook (18) the springs (1) to (4) are extended before the full load is taken on the line (6) and so reduces the shock emposed on the rod and on the angler. USE - Angling.

Description

 The present invention relates to a damping device for coarse fishing.

 For this kind of fishing, this system allows the mounting of all varieties of lines, from the finest to the most resistant, by constantly ensuring its role as a shock absorber, thus limiting the number of breaks in this line.

 The damping device is installed, without any modification, inside all rods for coarse fishing, fully telescopic or semi, but having at least one telescopic head of two strands, of the current and future market.

 These rods are, of course, equipped with a hollow flexible tip reinforced at its finest part by a pierced end serving as a wire guide.

The damping systems currently in use are as follows
- a simple or twisted elastic mounted in series between the
line and an angled butt.

- a simple elastic implanted inside a stick
hollow and angled.

- a simple elastic implanted inside a flexible scion
hollow.

- a simple or twisted elastic implanted inside
several strands of a telescopic head.

 With these systems, when catching a beautiful fish, the elastic being in harmony with the line, tends to the maximum, thus losing its role of shock absorber and breakage is almost inevitable.

 The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback.

 The device comprises a series of damping elements, at least two, connected to each other, by loops or nodes, then directly to an extension limiter or indirectly to it by connecting elements.

 The device is installed inside a telescopic head, the last damping element can be secured to a strand of this head by an anchoring system which is specific to said rod.

 A tie crosses longitudinally and internally the telescopic head. It connects the extension limiter to a staple or a similar system, at the outlet of the thinnest part of the hollow flexible tip.

Indeed, in this system, according to the curvature of the telescopic head the inner wire or the like rubs, more or less, against the wall. internal of this head, which can cause premature wear of the extension limiter if it is in one piece. For a good longevity of this device, this part included between the extension limiter and the clip is replaced by a tie rod, which can be easily changed.

 The damping elements can be constituted by elastic bands, for example of the rubber or similar type (known as roubaisiens) of equal or different diameters and, in certain cases, by preferably metallic stainless springs. Depending on the applications, these constituents can be swapped, doubled, tripled, etc.

 The extension limiter, the connecting elements and the tie rod, depending on the use, can be produced either with single-wire or multi-wire polyamide, cord, metal cable or the like.

 The most suitable rod is that with inverted sockets comprising a telescopic head of two strands, three strands or more.

 This device makes it possible to practice coarse fishing, from small fish to beautiful fish, with line or bottom lines, the diameters of which can vary from 5/100 to 14/100 and more. According to the invention, the most resistant element may or may not be limited in its elongation.

 This shock absorbing device is the most economical, because by itself, it allows fishing with all varieties of lines.

 According to the invention, several devices, for more scientific fishing, during competitions on waiting kits, make it possible to practice this fishing with wires, line or line, whose diameters can vary from 5/100 to 10/100 from 8/100 to 12/100 from 10/100 to 14/100 and more.

 During the catch of a fish, with each pull exerted by this one, by the intermediary of the line and the tie, the continuation of damping elements more or less lengthen.

 Thus, thanks to this device when a beautiful fish is caught on the hook of the line, the damping elements stretch to the limit authorized by the extension limiter. The elongations of the shock absorbers are successively limited, as a function of their resistance, which makes it possible to avoid fatigue and breakage of the elements of low resistance. The other more resistant elements take over, which keeps the damping role of the system.

 However, to have a better functioning of the present invention, after the hooking of a fish and during its defense, in order to control it well, it is preferable that the fishing rod is substantially parallel to the surface of the body of water, which makes it possible to limit the curvature of the telescopic head, therefore to reduce the frictional forces on the internal wall of this head with the tie passing inside this. This position allows the shock absorbing elements to fully play their role and to tire the fish. According to the exhaustion of the fish the replacement of the fishing rod, after the removal of the excess strands, if there is one, is done gradually.

 According to the invention, the device has the advantage of automatically selecting the damping element compatible with the weight of the fish and, normally if the line is in harmony with this weight, breakage is avoided.

 The damping device according to the invention, represented by FIG. 1 comprises only four elements but this quantity is not limiting, neither in one direction nor in the other. The damping elements (1) (2) (3) (4) etc ... are connected to each other to an extension limiter (5) and this to its tie rod (6). The element (4) is connected to a metal or other ring (13) of circular or oblong shape, to which is tied a mooring system allowing storage. This system can be composed of a cord or the like (16) tied to the ring (13) and to an elastic system (17) terminated by a loop or, in some cases, tied to a hook (18).

 All the connections of these constituents can be carried out by means of loops or knots.

 FIG. 2 represents the device implanted inside a telescopic head of three strands (7) (8) (9), the thread guide endpiece (10) is fixed to the hollow flexible tip (7) by gluing. Before installing the device, the anchoring system must be installed, the stop (12) is passed through the tie rod and the sleeve (11) is introduced into the strand (9). This socket is held in this strand by wedging.

 The anchoring system is specific to the type and brand of fishing rod.

 The parts (11) and (12), depending on the application, can be made of plastic, metallic, or by the combination of these two materials.

 By a tie knot system, a preferably stainless metal clip (14) is linked by inserting between it and the end piece (10) a small tube (15) made of flexible material, crossed by the tie, serving as a stop , shock absorber and protector of the attachment knot. Of course, this clip is used for hooking the line. Depending on the use, the clip can be replaced by a small metal ring, or by a loop forming an integral part of the tie rod (6), in this case the addition of a pearl may be necessary.

 In the fishing position it is necessary that the line hooking system is always applied against the tube (15) and the nozzle (10). For this it is necessary to create a slight tension on the damping elements when fixing said system.

 Figure 3 shows the device in the storage position, for transport convenience, the strands (7) (8) may remain integral or not, the strand (9) is to dislodge while exerting a slight tension on the tie rod. The device is housed inside the strands (7) and (8) then the clip or the like is attached to the mooring system (16) (17) (18).

 For deployment, the operation is performed in reverse, always while maintaining a slight tension on the tie rod.

 The device represented by FIG. 4 comprises three damping elements (1) (2) (3) but this quantity is not limiting, neither in one direction nor in the other. The system is installed inside the first two strands (7) and (8) of a telescopic head of three strands. We find the similar components (5) (6) (10) (13) (14) (15) and an anchoring end piece (19) which is held by wr wedging-in the strand (8). This tip can be made of plastic or metal, said tip being specific to the type of rod, and a drawstring (20).

 The device shown in Figure 5 also includes only three damping elements (1) (2) (3), but this quantity is not limiting either in one direction or the other. The system is installed inside a telescopic head comprising two strands (7) and (8), of a rod with inverted sockets. We find all the components of the device of FIG. 4.

 Note: for the two devices described in Figures 4 and 5, depending on the case, the most resistant damping element may be, or not limited, in its elongation.

 If the length of the telescopic heads of these two devices is too great for transport and requires the disengagement of the two strands, the cord (20) can be replaced by a mooring system (16) (17) (18).

 FIG. 6 represents, by way of example, the metallic guide wire tip (10). This tip is a part of revolution, a hole allows passage to the tie rod (6) and a shoulder allows the penetration of the tip 7, the latter coming into abutment. The attachment of the nozzle can be obtained by gluing. The diameter of the largest part of this nozzle must be able to pass inside the strand (8). Towards its exit the internal passage is flared, forming a half-torus with the external diameter of said part, all the edges are radiated or chamfered.

 FIG. 7 shows, by way of example, the principle of a sleeve (11) for anchoring inside the strand (9). This socket is a piece of revolution. The smallest inside diameter must allow passage of the strand (8). Depending on the type of fishing rod, a recess can be carried out, with an input chamfer, to save weight, the taper of its outer part allows it to be wedged in the strand (9). Said socket can be made of plastic or metallic material.

 FIG. 8 represents, by way of example, a principle of stop, it is a part of revolution, nesting in the sleeve (11) and inside the strand (9). All edges are radiated or chamfered. Its purpose is to retain the ring (13). Said stopper can be made of plastic or metallic material.

 FIG. 9 shows, by way of example, a principle of end piece (19) for anchoring. It is a piece of revolution. The small diameter must allow the passage of the tip (7). A recess allows the oblong ring (13) to be housed. All edges are radiated or chamfered. Its taper allows it to be trapped inside the strand (8). Said tip can be made of plastic or metallic material.

 Figure 10 shows an interlocking of two telescopic strands.

To avoid snagging, the internal part of the large diameter of each.

strand, 'must be chamfered internally.

 The damping device according to the invention is particularly intended for coarse fishing, small fish and beautiful fish.

 All the elements constituting this device can be linked indirectly by elements constituted by loops and knots or any other system.
