E. M.PALMER ARTIFICIAL BAIT Filed Jan. 5, 1922 Patented June 10, 1924..
stares EDWIN lVI. PALMER, OF DENVER, COLOR-ADO.
ARTIFICIAL BAIT.
Application filed January 3, 1922.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that ED, IN M. PALMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Denver, in the county of Denver and State of Colorado, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Artificial Bait, of which the following is a specification.
The object of the invention is to provide a novel form of angling fly, of inexpensive construction, capable of use effectively in casting and trolling with the minimum risk of entanglement of its elements with each other or with the line, and adapted to close ly simulate the movements of natural flies traversing the surface of the water; and with this object in view the invention consists in a construction, combination and arrangement of parts of which a preferred embodiment is shown in the drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a side view of the bait in use.
Figure 2 is a plan view thereof.
Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3, Figure 2.
Figure 4: is a rear view.
Figures 5 and 6 are diagrammatic plan and side views to illustrate movements of bait.
Figure 7 and 8 are views of modifications.
The body or floating element of the fly consists of a plate 10 of thin metal or its equivalent, transversely arched with downturned side edges, and rearwardly extended to form wings ll, which are individually transversely arched, are tapered toward their rear ends to terminate in points, and are rearwardly divergent. The divergence of the inner edges of the wings forms a broad V-notch, 12, and while both the inner and outer edges of the wings are downwardly directed near the transverse plane of the angle of the \l, as shown at 13 and 14 in Figure 4, and while the outer depending or downwardly directed edges 14: are prolonged rearwardly to the tips or terminals of the wings, the inner edges are truncated or turned upward gradually toward the tips to present inwardly facing concave surfaces of the rear portions of the wings in opposition (see 11 in Figure t) to give a lateral or oscillatory movement to the fly by contact with the water.
The center of the body 10 is depressed or grooved longitudinally, as shown at 15,
Serial No. 526,851.
or moderate forward impulse or movement applied through the line 17 connected tov the nose by an eye or perforation 1.8, through which passes a loose link or-ring 19 serving to permit jumping and lateralmo'vements incident to ripples onthe surface of the water.
A swivel 20 is preferably interposed between the line and the ring or link 19 to allow further freedom of I movement and permit the fly to drop right side up on the water when cast, the shape of the nose and downwardly directed outerv edges of the wings serving to reverse the same immediately if it should alight otherwise, and similarly connected with saidring or link 19 by a swivel 21 are the hooks 22, preferably used in'duplicate and facing in opposite directions as shown.
The fly may be used with orv without natural bait and may be variously colored or have a polished under surface, and the manner of suspending the hooks gives them the appearance of the legs of a fly or bug swimming on the surface.
As above indicated the fly is designed and adapted for both casting and trolling, in both of which uses it is necessary that it be light and float easily to maintain its position on the surface, to respond readily with quick darting movement to the slightest rip ples on the surface, to strike the water (in casting) without an objectionable splash and otherwise to partake of the general characteristics of a live fly, bug, or other insect which feeds upon or frequents the surface of water, and the peculiar features and physical characteristics which are specially adapted to secure these results include the general transversely arched or arcuate form of the body, bifurcated at its rear end to provide wings which in effect are twisted to depress the outer and raise the inner edges, said wings being tapered toward their extremities, and the front end of the body being upwardly deflected to provide a riding element or prow of which the edge forms a continuation of and a connection between the lateral depressed edges of the wings, into the latter of which the former merges in the length of the transversely arched body portion.
In the modification shown in Figure 7 the box or double swivel 21 serves to connect the line 17 and acts as a looseeonnection for the ring 19 carried by the front end or nose 16 of the body 10 while the hooks 22 are also capable of turning to minimize the risk of entangling.
In Figure 8 the swivel 20 connects the line 17 with ring 19 engaged with the nose 16 of the body 1O" and the hooks 22 are connected with the rear end of the body between the rearwardly tapered wings.
What is claimed:
1. An angling fly'having a transversely arcuate body portion provided with rearwardly trailing wings which are progressively turned transversely to present downwardly and upwardly directed outer and inner side edges.
2. An angling fiy having a transversely arcuate body portion provided with rearwardly trailing wings which are individu ally transversely arched and which are progressively turned transversely to present downwardly and upwardly directed outer and inner side edges.
3. An angling fly having a transversely arcuate forwardly tapering body portion provided with rearwardly trailing wings which are progressively turned transversely to present downwardly and upwardly directed outer and inner side edges, the forward end of the body portion being upwardly deflected.
4. An angling fly having a transversely a-rcuate body portion being centrally longitudinally grooved and having rearwardly extending divergent wings, which are individually transversely arched and which are progressively turned transversely to present downwardly and upwardly directed outer and inner side edges.
5. An angling flyhaving altransversely arcuate forwardly tapering body. portion provided with rearwardly extending divergent trailing wings, the divergence of the inner edges of the wings forming a broad V-notch, the body portion being centrally longitudinally grooved-from an intermediate point rearwardlyto the notch, the forward or minor end of the body portion being upwardly deflected.
