Description
A. SAMPEY. ARTIFICIAL ELECTRIC MINNOW.
APPLICATION FILED NOV -9. I914- 1 1,159,278; 7 Patented Nov. 2, 1915.
III/VENTOR WITNESSES:
ALFRED SAMPEY, OF SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI.
ARTIFICIAL ELECTRIC MINN OW.
Specification of Letters Patent.
' rammed Nov. 2, 1915.
Application filed NovemberQ, 1914. Serial No. 871,168.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED SAMPEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at 619 Monroe street, in the city of Springfield, in the county of Greene and State of Missouri, have invented a new Artificial Electric Minnow, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in artificial minnows used in angling, and the object of my improvement is to provide an attractive and illuminated minnow for the purpose.
I obtain that object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which l Figure 1 is a vertical section of the entire device, and Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the device.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
. Letter n in Fig. 1 indicates a line in which there are two small wires running from the minnow back through the ordinary v anglers reel, and to the base or butt of the fishing rod, upon which is attached an electric battery.
Letter on in both Figs. 1 and 2, indicates the point where the two small wires connect with a brass wire at the head of the minnow.
The letter Z represents a copper wire connected with the two screws marked k at either side of Fig. 2, and also with the tin ring marked a, and also with the connecting wire marked 9.
The letter 7) indicates an electric bulb located adjacent to the head of the minnow, and 0 represents a metal base which serves as a socket for the bulb.
From the foregoing description it will be perceived that an electric circuit is formed through the bulb and battery before referred to.
The letter f-see Fig. 1represents two celluloid strips which constitute the transparent sides of the body of the minnow,
and these strips extend between the head a and tail-block I). g
6 represent strips'of sheet tin constituting the rigid portion of the body of the minnow. It will be seen that the tin strips 6 which extend between and connect thehead and tail portions 11-?) are directly opposite each other and that the celluloid strips f are similarly opposite each other and intervene the metal strips. Thus the metal strips e provide the required strength and rigidity of the body of the minnow and the celluloid portions 7 allow lateral illumination. When an electric circuit is closed through the bulb go the celluloid or transparent portions f become illuminated, thus attracting fish and inducing them to seize a minnow, inwhich case they areliable to become impaled on the barbed hook attached to the body of the minnow. The two ends or head and tail blocks a?; of the minnow are made of wood, preferably cedar.
In Fig. 2 It indicates screw-hooks which are attached to the metal body strips 6,
while 71 indicates a barbed tail hook secured to a screw What I claim is 2- 1. The improved artificial minnow comprising head and tail portions, longitudinal, duly rigid strips connecting such portions, an transparent strips intervening the firstnamed strips, an electric bulb secured to the head of the minnow within the hollow body formed by the respective strips, and wires connected with the bulb and forming part .of an electric circuit, as described.
2. An artificial minnow comprising wooden head and tail pieces, a body formed of longitudinal metal and celluloid strlps,
screw hooks secured to the metal strips, and barbed hooks attached to said screw hooks and swinging freely thereon, as described.
