EDWARD LEWIS EVANS, OF FORT MYERS, FLORIDA.
TROLLING SPOON.
Application filed June 24, 1922; Serial No. 570,538.
1 aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD L. Evans, citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Myers, in the county of Lee and State of Florida, have invented a certain new and useful Trolling Spoon, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is an improved mounting of the hook on the trolling spoon, to render it impossible. for the fish to pry its jaw loose from the hook when once fast.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 represents a view of the spoon from the inside, with the hook in the initial position. i
Fig. 2 is an edge view of the spoon wit hook in the extended position.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 with the hook in an extended position.
Fig. at is a sectional view of the device.
The spoon 1 is of the type used at the present time, having concave and convex surfaces, which cause the spoon to whirl or rotate and flash whilst being drawn through the water, thus rendering it a luring bait for the fish.
To this spoon 1 is fastened a hook 2 intended to engage the fishs mouth. In the longitudinal slot 6 of the spoonis disposed a mounting block or slider 4: with laterally directed fins t to prevent its being drawn through the slot by the pull of the hook. This mounting block 4: has a projecting perforated lug 5 passing through the slot to the outer side of the spoon. The hook 2 has a double ring 3 at its upper end, which engages in the perforated lug 5, and serves to retain the mounting block in position in the slot, as well as forming the support proper for the hook 2. In this way, the block f is limited in its movement by the length of the slot.
In the concave or inner side of the spoon is disposed a spring 7 of suitable material, fastened at its upper end to the spoon by welding, riveting, or other appropriate manner. The lower end 8 of the spring is free from the spoon, and is adapted to have a resilient movement laterally of the spoon, into and out of engagement with the block 4:.
lateral displacement of the spring 7, which continues until it is at the bottom limit of travel in the slot 6'. In this extended position, as shown in Fig. 2, the hook 2 has a greater freedom of movement than in its upper position; and the fish can no longer use the spoon as a fulcrum to pry the hook out of its jaw.
The spoon 2 is provided at its upper end with the customary loop 9 and swivels 10,
to which the leader is attached.
I claim: 1
1.. A. trolling spoon having a longitudinal slot therein, a block disposed on the concave side of said spoon and mounted in said slot for slidable movement therein, a hook at tached to said block on the convex side of spoon, a spring member fixed on the concave side of said spoon, said block being adapted to be received and engaged by said spring member releasably to hold the hook in normal trolling position.
2. A trolling spoon having a longitudinal slot therein, a block disposed on the concave side of said spoon and mounted slidably in said slot, a hook attached to projecting eye of said block on the convex side of said spoon, a spring member fixed on the concave side of said spoon to receive and engage said block releasably to hold the hook in I normal trolling position. i
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in the presence of two wltnesses.
ED'WARD LEWVIS EVANS.
