FR2779320A1 - Fishing rod long line winding drum - Google Patents

Abstract

The long line winding drum (1) rotates on a support (12) fitted with a cleat nut (13). The drum has a flange (2) which locks one end of the line (4) and a flange (5) fitted with a rim (6) split with notches (7) for receiving the line base (8) on which the hooks (9) are fixed. The hooks are placed on the upper part of the flange and are kept in compartments (11) formed by partitions (10). The hooks are isolated and are accessible to be baited without unwinding the long line.

Longline reel

  The present invention relates to a device for winding and storing a longline while leaving all of its hooks accessible to fix their bait without major handling. The storage of these longlines is generally carried out in a large tank, which requires the user to destock fully the rope to equip all the hooks with their bait, then to restock it in the tank while waiting to unroll it for the

  anchor at the fishing site, which increases the response times and the risk of entanglement or injury with the hooks. The device according to the invention eliminates these two additional long and boring manipulations and therefore reduces the risk of injury with hooks.

  It indeed includes a frame, equipped with a cleat cleat, which is fixed on the gunwale of the boat and which supports the reel. The reel is made up of two flanges and a central body that receives the mother cord and the stockings of 15 lines. The lower flange has a groove that blocks one end of the longline. The upper flange is equipped with a split rim d 'notches, receiving the end of the hooks with their hook. The hooks are separated from each other by partitions, mounted on the upper flange which form a compartment isolating each element.20 These hooks being left free and accessible (each in its compartment) to fix their bait, without mixing with the branchlines or the mother rope. A cover covers and closes the compartments containing the hooks, to facilitate handling and storage of the reel.25 So when the fisherman wants to use his longline, he only has to remove the cover and equip them with bait hooks left all accessible in the upper part of the reel, then unroll and wet it without twisting it, once arrived at its place of fishing. Once the fishing is over, it is easy, to go up the longline, to block the mother line in the cleat of the support, to recover the fish and put it away, and to restock at the same time, and without twisting, the

  longline as it ascends.

  2/4 According to particular embodiments: - The reel can be of different capacities and shapes, depending on the

  diameter, length of the mother rope and the number of hooks fitted.

  - The upper flange can have a varied number of notches so

storage compartments.

  - It can include a crank facilitating the rotation of the reel and the winding of the rope - It can be provided with a shaft equipped with a handle for use in

beach border.

  - It can be motorized or be adapted on a machine for reassembling lockers.

  - The support and the cleat can be mounted independently one of

The other.

  - It can be equipped with 2 or more centering pads allowing, by stacking them, to drive several reels.

  - It can be fitted with a disengageable pawl allowing only one direction of rotation at the user's choice.

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

  Figure 1 shows in section the device of the invention.

  Figure 2 shows a top view of this device without its cover. FIG. 3 shows the device with the frame (1) and the handle (18) 55 adapted for use at the edge of the beach. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises the reel (1) provided with the lower flange (2) pierced with the groove (3) which blocks the end of the rope (4). The flange (5) is equipped with a rim (6) split with notches (7), receiving60 the hooks (8) attaching the hooks (9) on the rope (4). The flange (5) is equipped with partitions (10) forming compartments (11) to isolate and leave accessible each hook (9). The upper flange (5) is equipped with a cover (15), placed on the partitions (10) and covering each compartment (11), to enclose each 3/4

  hook (9) protecting the user from injuries and entanglement risks during handling of the reel.

  The reel is pierced in its axis with an orifice (16), to be mounted on a support (12) provided: either with a cleat cleat (13), which is fixed on the gunwale of a boat (17) FIG. 1 & 2, or a handle (18) for use at the edge of the beach FIG. 3. By way of nonlimiting example, the reel will have dimensions of the order of

  cm for the height, 60 cm in diameter for the flanges and 40 cm in diameter for the body.

  It will preferably be designed in a material easy to maintain and resistant to corrosion due to the acidity of sea water (nonlimiting examples: plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, etc.).

  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for 2 longlines granted to yachtsmen.
