RU2447655C2 - Balancing float "crane" - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: float consists of a bright bite alarm and the housing. Tilted position of the alarm over the water is achieved by mounting on the housing on the bottom of the float of a small lock-pin, which, when lowering the long side of the beam down, rests in a free-hanging weight on clip. The housing is made in the form of a floating ball. The ball is connected with a straight unequal-arm beam. On the beam the counterbalance and a device for passage of fishing line are located. The lock-pin sets and stabilises the long part with drop-shaped alarm of bite in an inclined position relative to the surface of water. The ratio of lengths of beam arms is 1:3.

EFFECT: design enables to improve the aerodynamics of a float in cast.

Description

The invention relates to amateur and sport fishing, namely to floats.

Fishing accessories are known - floats with weighting for long casting, in which the signaling part is in an inclined position above the water and rises up when the fish bite [1-4].

The disadvantages of this float are low efficiency with long casts due to poor visual signaling at a long distance, as well as the reduced sensitivity of heavy floats due to the large mass and unstable position of the indicator above water.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved result is a float (RF patent No. 2083103 C1, class A01K 93/02, 1997), in which, with sufficient weight for long casting, high sensitivity is combined due to the principle of lever weights and balancing the difference of the shoulders with counterweights, as well as an increased visual signal due to the difference in the length of the parts of the float [5].

Its disadvantage is the presence of an auxiliary “stabilizing” float on the short part of the rod, which, due to the large “windage” (air resistance), worsens the aerodynamics and interferes with casting over long distances.

The purpose of the invention is to increase the efficiency in use by combining elements such as a sufficient mass of the float for long casting, high sensitivity and a bright visual signal, noticeable at a great distance.

The design of the float is carried out according to the principle of lever weights similarly to the design of well-known well cranes, which are still used in many places where the center of equilibrium - the support - is a floating ball (wood, foam, etc.) with a straight, uneven rocker-rod passing through the center ball and divided into two unequal shoulders in a ratio of 1: 3, and to balance the design on the short arm of the rocker arm is a counterweight weight. The weight can move along the rod, providing more precise balancing of the long and short parts of the float. At the large end of the shaft is a bright, drop-shaped bite signaling device. The forest from the rod passes through the access rings on the long arm of the rocker arm and the hole in the ball along the rod and exits through the final access ring on the short part to the bait hook. Weighting of the float is carried out with the help of a freely hanging cable clamp passing through a horizontal hole perpendicular to the rod in the center of the ball. On the clamp, due to the extension of its ends, interchangeable weights can be placed to control the weight of the float.

To fix the tilt of the float above the surface of the water at a certain angle, a small stop pin (wire, wood, plastic) is placed on the bottom of the float, protruding from the ball housing by 5 mm. When the long arm of the rocker falls down due to the greater weight, the emphasis on the float body encounters a load that hangs freely on the clamp and stops, thereby fixing the long arm of the float with the indicator in an inclined position above the water.

Figure 1 shows the float in the working position; figure 2 - scheme of the structure; figure 3 - the principle of fixing the angle of inclination of the rod with the alarm above the water; in Fig 4 - weighting of the body of the float in the form of a clamp with a freely hanging load.

The float contains a housing in the form of a floating ball 1 (wood, polystyrene foam, etc.), connected with a straight unequal arm 2, at the long end A of which there is a bright signaling device 3. A moving weight 4 with an opening is located on the short arm of the rod B. The fishing line 5 passes through the access rings 6 and the longitudinal hole 7 in the ball 1 to the hook 8. On the horizontal axis of the ball 1 perpendicular to the rod 2 there passes a freely hanging clamp of wire 9 on which the weighting agent 10 is placed. An emphasis pin is placed at the bottom of the ball 1 (wire, wood, plastic) 11, fixing the slope of the signal part of the float A over water.

Ball 1 with a free-hanging weighting compound 10 has sufficient mass for long-distance casting, which, when the float is balanced (with the help of a weight 4), does not affect its sensitivity. When water enters the water, the longer part of the rocker arm A tends to fall down, which is prevented by the stop pin 11 protruding from the ball 1, as a result of which part A with the indicator remains in an inclined position above the water. The shift of the hook 8 with the bait down (when biting) leads to the greater movement of the indicator 3 on the rod A, the greater the ratio of the long and short parts of the rod-rocker 2. That is, there is an increase in the visual signal, which with long casting is one of the main success factors fishing. Simplification of the design, significantly improves the aerodynamics of the float during casting.

Thus, the balancing float combines several functions at once: it can have a significant mass for long-range casting, while remaining highly sensitive, and can give the angler a significantly increased visual signal of a fish bite, visible at a great distance.

Claims (1)

Balancer float, including a bright bite indicator, a body in the form of a floating ball, connected with a straight unequal arm, on which are located a counterweight and a device for skipping scaffolding, characterized in that the inclined position of the indicator above the water is achieved by installing a small emphasis on the float body from below - the pin, which when lowering the long part of the rocker arm rests against the load freely hanging on the clamp, installs and stabilizes the long part with a teardrop-shaped signaling device klevki in an inclined position with respect to the water surface, wherein the ratio of the length of the rocker arms is 1: 3, thereby simplifying the structure and achieving a significant improvement when casting float aerodynamics.
