Abstract

The winder has a rectangular plastic tray with receiving areas (81, 82) at each of its ends and a longitudinal rib (7) on its median part. The receiving areas carry a set of brooches (12, 12) on each side of the tray to receive and maintain a fish hook and a loop of a series of leader. The longitudinal rib is in a form of flipper to serve as a grasping unit of the tray.

Description

The present invention relates to an accessory for fishermen, namely a

  folder intended to receive hooks.

  The hooks consist of a section of fishing line provided at one end with a hook and at its end oppo5 ed with a loop intended to be fixed on a mounted line provided with a

  float and if necessary ballast sinkers.

  Taking into account the fact that these hooks frequently break, fishermen have become used to preparing them beforehand.

  always have them at their disposal.

  Such bottom line preparations are conventionally positioned on wooden plates provided with nails on which are

  attached hooks and loops.

  These wooden plates correspond to rudimentary devices of particularly inconvenient use.

  However, in recent years, we have observed a significant evolution of the fishing accessories market and in particular the appearance of stackable modular metal lockers that can be integrated into seat baskets and, where appropriate, have compartments allowing functional storage of different accessories (hooks,

  sinkers, wires, baits, reels, ...).

  Such metal lockers are described in the publication

  FR-2 603 061 and marketed by MOSSALGUE under the brand RIVE &.

  They are particularly suitable for the reception and maintenance of plastic folders for mounted lines as described in publication FR-2 789 547 and also marketed by the company MOSSALGUE under the brand RIVEe ce according to a range of folders of different dimensions in which each model is identified by a

specific color.

  To allow the maintenance of a series of identical folders,

  arranged side by side, the suitable compartments can be fitted with a metal collar surmounting a foam lining.

  These metal lockers and folding boxes have been very well received by the public, and their use is currently on the increase.

  In this context, the basic idea of the invention was to replace the wooden plates currently used for fixing the leader with special folding boxes having a configuration allowing them to be stored in metal racks of the aforementioned type in instead or in the vicinity of the folders for assembled lines and

extract easily.

  The invention has made it possible to achieve this goal by providing fishermen with a tacker for the bottom of the line intended to be stored in a suitable locker, characterized in that it consists of an essentially rectangular tray, preferably made of plastic, the bottom of which is equipped on a first of its faces or front face, on the one hand at each of its ends, of receiving pads carrying a set of preferably metallic pins capable of cooperating in pairs on either side of the tray to receive and maintain the hooks and the loops of a series of superimposed hooks, and on the other hand at its middle part of a longitudinal rib essentially in the shape of fin

  acting as a gripping member of the tray in a rack containing a series of folders arranged side by side.

  According to the invention, the reception areas of the folder are

  preferably projecting from the middle of the tray so as to facilitate the establishment and extraction of the leader.

  The folder also comprises, as a general rule, two lateral flanks extending parallel to its median longitudinal axis and equipped with rounded ends so as to facilitate its introduction into a

  locker with suitable dimensions and its extraction from this locker.

  According to a particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, the pins are constituted by the lateral branches of removable U-shaped jumpers forced into holes drilled at

  this effect in the receiving ranges of the tray.

  The central branch of these jumpers is arranged perpendicular to the median longitudinal axis of the tray and rests on the rear face of the latter intended to be in contact with the bottom of a suitable rack. The use of such jumpers is a simple and functional means to rigidly maintain a series of pins

  of metal in plastic.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the neighboring pins are offset with respect to each other along the median lon35 gitudinal axis of the tray.

  This characteristic makes it possible to avoid simultaneously entering two leader lines arranged side by side in a locker.

  As a general rule, each landing area of the tray has at least four spindles arranged in a staggered manner so as to allow the fisherman to have on the same tray at least four different models of leader arranged side by side that he can choose according to his needs. The width of the folder for the leader object of the invention is

  thus significantly greater than the width of the folders for mounted lines.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, one of the reception areas is subdivided along the length of the longitudinal axis

  center of the tray in several zones each equipped with a set of pins offset from each other.

  This characteristic allows the establishment of leader of different lengths.

  When the pins are formed by the lateral branches of removable U-shaped jumpers, the fisherman has the possibility of moving them to introduce them into the holes in the area of the beach.

  reception corresponding to the leader with the desired length.

  According to another characteristic of the invention relating to this preferred variant, the tray is equipped on its rear face with studs arranged between the holes and provided at their end with a groove of

  maintenance of the middle part of the central branch of a rider.

  This characteristic makes it possible to maintain the jumpers after their introduction into the holes following the snap-fastening of their

  central branch in the groove of the studs.

  The characteristics of the leader folder which is the subject of the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying non-limiting drawings in which: - Figure 1 is a perspective view of the folder; - Figure la is a schematic view of a bottom line; - Figure 2 is a top view of the folder; - Figure 3 is a bottom view of the folder; - Figure 4 is a sectional view of Figure 3 along the axis IV-IV; - Figures 5 and 6 are perspective views showing lockers

  for fishermen equipped with a series of hooks for hooks.

  According to Figure 1 the folder consists of a plastic tray 1 having a bottom 2 and two lateral flanks 3, 3 'rounded at their ends 4, 4' which extend parallel to the axis

  longitudinal median XX 'of the tray.

  The bottom 2 of the tray has a visible front face 5

  in FIG. 2 and a rear face 6 visible in FIG. 3.

  According to Figures 1 and 2, the front face 5 is equipped at its central part with a longitudinal rib 7 essentially in the form of a fin acting as a gripping member. This rib 7 allows the fisherman to grasp a tray 1 when it is placed in a fisherman's locker 10 as

  shown in Figures 5 and 6.

  The front face 5 of the tray 1 is also equipped at its respective ends with receiving areas 81, 82 projecting by

compared to its middle part.

  These receiving plates 8i, 82 are each pierced with a

  set of holes 9 staggered.

  According to Figures 1 and 4 removable jumpers 11 in shape

  of U comprising a central branch 18 as well as two lateral branches 12, 12 ′ are introduced into the holes 9.

  These holes 9 are distributed so that the central branch 18 of a jumper 11 is arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis

  median XX 'of the tray 1 and rests on the rear face 6 thereof.

  The lateral branches 12, 12 ′ of the rider 11 protrude from the front face 5 of the tray 1 to allow fixing

  line 13 represented in FIG.

  According to FIGS. 1 and 1a, the lateral branches 12, 12 ′ of the jumpers 11 thus define receiving pins which cooperate in pairs on either side of the tray 1 along the median longitudinal axis XX ′ of that to allow you to receive a series of hooks

13 overlays.

  According to FIG. 1 a, each of these leader 13 consists of a section of fishing line provided with a hook 14 at one of its

  ends and a loop 15 at its opposite end.

  The leader 13 has a length corresponding to the distance between two receiving pins 12, 12 'associated on either side of the tray 1; the loop 15 at the bottom of the line 13 is intended to be fitted on one of the receiving pins 12, 12 'while its hook 35 çon 14 is intended to be fixed on the associated pin 12, 12' so that the

  stretch of fishing line be stretched between these pins.

  According to Figures 3 and 4, the rear face 6 of the tray

  comprises a set of studs 16 located between two neighboring holes 9 intended

  born to receive the two respective lateral branches 12, 12 'of the same

jumper 1 1.

  Each of the studs 16 is equipped at its end with a retaining groove 17 into which one can forcefully insert the middle part of the central branch 18 of a jumper 11 so as to allow it to be blocked on the tray 1 after introduction of its side branches

12, 12 'in holes 9.

  According to FIGS. 2 and 3, one of the reception areas 8i of the tray 1 is subdivided into three zones A, B and C having the function

  1o to allow the establishment of leader 13 of different lengths.

  Each of these zones A, B and C has four holes 9

  offset from each other.

  The second reception area 82 also has four holes 9 offset from each other and each associated with a hole 9 in an area A, B and C of the first reception area 81 to allow the attachment of a hook 14 and a loop 15 of a leader 13. The holes 9 of an area A, B or C of the first reception area 81 as well as the holes 9 of the second reception area 82 also cooperate. two by two on either side of the longitudinal axis XX '

  of the tray to allow the establishment of two respective removable jumpers 11.

  According to Figure 5, several folders 1 are arranged side by side.

  side in a fisherman's locker 10 and have a length adapted to the width thereof.

  According to Figure 6, the fisherman’s locker 10 is subdivided into two compartments 201, 202, and is equipped with two series of folder 1

having different lengths.
