Description

The invention relates to devices for hunting waterfowl. The device is intended for hunting waterfowl with the use of floating dummies of waterfowl in order to lure the object of hunting. In addition, the inventive bait for waterfowl can be used to capture waterfowl for research purposes.

There are various devices for luring waterfowl. For example, a device for luring a waterfowl is known according to patent No. US 20190246627 (IPC A01M 31/06) for an invention called "Automated replanting system". The device is a bait system for waterfowl, including at least two dummies for birds, each of which has a size and an anatomically designed body element resembling a bird, in which the body element can float in the water, i.e. floating dummies of birds. This device has at least one pulley and cord located between two waterfowl dummies. This is required to ensure an adjustable distance between them. In the device, one communicating propeller is designed to move the dummies, as well as one electric motor, at least with a pulley and a propeller, to move the body element in the water within the action zone. The patented automated landing system for controlling the operation of the electric motor contains a wireless communication device. Moreover, the models in the device are attached to one cord, on which limiters are made, which determine the limits of movement of each model equipped with an electric motor and a propeller. In this case, the placement of models can be carried out only in one line, that is, in a straight line or in an arc. This patented design of the automated replanting system will not allow placing dummies in an arbitrary, chaotic manner.

In addition, a device is known according to patent No. US 10336569 (IPC A01M 31/06; B65H 75/34) for an invention called "Device for organizing cord devices". The device includes a packaging tube and a traction unit operatively connected to the tube. The tension assembly includes a string, a puller attached to the string at the first end of the string, and a first clasp attached to the second end of the string. The string and the first clasp are adapted to be drawn into the tube when the puller is pulled. The first clasp is adapted for attaching to cords. The packaging device may further include an anchor attached to the pipe and a second fastener. The second fastener is adapted to be attached to the anchor when the packaging device is in the locked position. In one embodiment, the anchor includes a loop. The first clasp is a carabiner or spring latch and the second is also a carabiner or spring latch. In addition, the string may include a set of loops at the first end. The first clasp is attached to one of the many loops. Alternatively, the puller includes a handle, a vertical leg protruding from the handle, a horizontal leg protruding from the vertical leg, and a connector attached to the horizontal leg. The horizontal support is adapted to move inside the pipe cavity, and the vertical support is adapted to move along the guide. In addition, the inner surface may include a protrusion. The lip receives vertical support when the packaging device is in the locked position. The described design predetermines that the maximum length of the anchor cord is always limited and depends on the length of this pipe. In other words, if the anchor cord is, for example, 1.5 meters, then the pipe should be 1.5 meters. And it is very cumbersome to transport. Including carrying such a design is difficult and inconvenient.

The closest analogue to the claimed invention (prototype) in terms of the totality of existing features is the "Tubular apparatus for replanting waterfowl and the method of its use" according to the patent for the invention No. US 20200296953 (IPC A01M 31/06). The device comprises a substantially hollow tubular structure having an inner diameter or surface and an outer diameter or surface. Said inner diameter additionally contains a ribbed wall. In addition, said hollow tubular structure comprises a first end and a second end, said first end being a substantially fully open end, and said second end containing a substantially smaller hole having a substantially keyhole or any other similarly shaped hole. In addition, said tubular structure of the present invention comprises a plurality of attachment points disposed on the outer surface of said pipe, each of said attachment points having an opening for use allowing the attachment device (described below) to be connected to said outer surface of said pipe. The present invention further comprises a knotted cord having a first end and a second end, wherein said knotted cord can extend axially through the interior of said hollow tubular structure. In addition, said present invention comprises a plurality of attachment devices (such as, for example, clips or staples) that are attached to both said first end and said second end of said knotted cord. By way of illustration, and not limitation, these attachment devices typically include a carabiner clip; however, it should be noted that additional attachment means may also be used. In addition, each waterfowl cord has two ends. At the same time, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, an additional attachment device or carabiner clip is attached to both ends of said dummy cords, as well as to one of the clip attachment points located on the outer surface of said tubular structure. One of said fasteners, which is located at the end of the cord with a knot that extends axially through the opening of the tubular structure, can be secured around the body of the cords. The knotted cord is then pulled through said tubular structure and out through said keyhole-like opening until said cords are substantially tight and securely taut. As a result, the cords remain stretched as they are enclosed in a tubular structure. Said knotted cord is then placed in the elongated portion of the keyhole opening in a manner that can be secured and thus provides more convenient transportation compared to the prior art.

But this prototype also has a number of disadvantages. These include, nevertheless, excessive bulkiness, the lack of the possibility of a reliable, balanced hand hold, as well as the impossibility of compact laying models when using long, more than two meters of anchor cords. This is explained by the fact that the length of the applied cords is limited and depends on the length of the tubular element of the prototype.

The task set by the developer of a new waterfowl bait was to create such a device that would increase the efficiency and speed of collection, placement, and transportation of the device in the form of a waterfowl bait. In particular, the task was to make the bait easy to use, its compactness during transportation without the use of bags and other containers, as well as to increase the reliability of operation and simplify the design. The technical result achieved in the process of solving the problem set for the developer was the possibility of simultaneous laying of anchor or cords for sinkers of carrying floating dummies and, thus, preventing tangling of anchor or cords for sinkers among themselves. This became possible thanks to the use of a reel, which provides convenience and ease of winding anchor or cords for weights.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the bait for waterfowl, including their floating dummies, anchors or sinkers, as well as cords to them, rings or carbines, includes a reel, in the body of which there are: a handle for holding the reel with one hand and a through hole for the fingers of this hands, protruding horns and ledges for winding anchor cords or cords for sinkers, mounting holes, ledges with through holes for installing a locking pin, a groove for laying anchor cords or cords for sinkers and an elastic cord for fixing them after winding on the reel.

A spring is mounted on the locking pin, and it is made with a locking flag.

A magnetic lock is made at the end of the locking pin.

Elastic tourniquet is made with a retainer.

The latch is made in the form of a bead.

The latch is made in the form of a ring.

The locking pin is made with a bridle for attaching the locking pin to the reel.

After winding anchor lines or cords for sinkers on the reel, fixation was carried out using a carabiner and an elastic cord.

The invention is illustrated graphically, where:

The bait for waterfowl consists of a reel 1, in the body of which a handle 2 is designed to hold it with one hand. In the body of the reel 1, a through hole 3 is also made for the fingers of the holding hand, protruding horns 4 and ledges 5 for winding anchor or cords for sinkers 18. Anchor or cords for sinkers can be both synthetic, that is, made, for example, from fishing line, so and of linen or cotton, or any similar material. In the body of the reel 1, there are mounting holes 6, protrusions 7 for installing a locking pin, a groove 8 for laying anchor or cords for weights 18. A through hole 9 is made in the body of the reel 1 for the locking pin 10. The bait for waterfowl also contains a locking pin 10, spring 11 and locking flag 12 of locking pin 10. An elastic cord 13 is provided for fixing anchor or cords for weights 18 after they are wound on the reel body 1 and clamps 14. Depending on the specific situation, a bead, ring or other similar can be used as clamps detail. The clamps 14 are designed to fix the elastic cord 13 on the reel body 1, the bridle 15 for fastening the locking pin 10 to the reel body 1, the magnet 16 for fixing the locking finger 10 in the reel body 1. Anchor or cords for sinkers 18 provide for the location of dummies 20 in the process of laying them using a reel 1. There are also anchors or sinkers 19 for anchoring dummies to the bottom when they are placed on a pond, floating dummies 20 of a waterfowl sliding along the anchor cord 18 rings or carabiners 21, end loops 22 of anchor or cords for sinkers 18, holes on the dummy 24, designed for attaching anchor or cords for sinkers 18. In this case, the reel 1 is made in the form of a geometric body, a locking finger 10, an elastic cord 13 with fixing beads 14 and bridles 15 for attaching locking pin 10 to the reel body 1. The body has a handle 2 with through hole 3 under the fingers of the holding hand, to the right and left of the handle 2 there are two pairs of symmetrically located, differently directed relative to each other protruding horns 4, forming at the reel 1 along the X axis two ledges 5 for winding anchor or cords for weights 18. In a particular case ledges 5 can be made V-shaped. Mounting holes 6 are made on each of the horns 4, designed for fastening to the body of the reel 1 of the locking pin 10 and the elastic cord 13, intended for fixing on the body of the reel 1 anchor or cords for weights 18 after they are wound. In the middle in the lower part of the body there is a protrusion having a groove 8 along the Y axis for laying anchor or cords for weights 18 of an elongated shape. At the end of the protrusion there is a through hole 9, which has two diameters, designed to install and fix the locking pin 10, which has a spring 11 and a locking flag 12, or a locking pin 10 using a magnet 16. The larger diameter is designed to install the magnet 16.

Use the bait for waterfowl as follows. Floating dummies are placed in a tight bundle, consisting of two or more dummies, by jointly placing anchor or cords for sinkers 18 from the side free from anchors or sinkers 19 into the laying groove 8 of the reel body 1, followed by closing it with a locking pin 10, forming a closed loop around anchor or cords for sinkers 18 and further movement of the reel along anchor or cords for sinkers 18 towards anchors or sinkers 19 and dummies 20, fixed on anchor or cords for sinkers 18 in a sliding way and located at the time of laying between anchors or sinkers 19 and reel 1 at the minimum possible distance from them, followed by winding and fixing anchor or cords for weights 18 on the reel body 1 using a prefabricated carabiner 17 and an elastic cord 13 fixed on the reel body 1. It should be noted that the reel allows equally effective use of both short cords up to 1 meter, and long, including over two meters. In the direction indicated by arrow A (see Fig. 6) due to the closed loop in which there are anchor or cords for sinkers as the reel moves to the dummies 20 located at the end of the anchor or cords for sinkers opposite from the prefabricated carabiner 17, dummies 20 collected in a dense bundle in the form of a bundle. As a result, in the area of anchor or cords for sinkers 18, indicated by arrow B (see Fig. 6) and located between the reel 1 and dummies 20, each anchor or cord for sinkers included in the bundle develops tension necessary to ensure tight fit of the anchor or sinker 19 to the dummy 20 in the place where the dummy is attached to the anchor or cord for sinkers 18. arrow B (see Fig. 6), all together, one to one, starting from the groove 8 for laying the anchor cords and ending with the end of the anchor or cords for sinkers, on which the prefabricated carabiner 17 is fixed, winding takes place on the reel 1, while the prefabricated do not remove the carabiner. This is clearly seen in Fig. 7. The number of turns around the reel depends on the length of the anchor or cords for sinkers 18. After winding the anchor or cords for sinkers 18 on the reel 1, the assembled carabiner 17 is fixed on the reel using an elastic cord 13, as indicated in FIG. 7.
