FISH BAIT Filed April 28, 1934 INVENTOFQ ATTORNEYS Patented June 4, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIC FISH BAIT Peter Muller,
Detroit, Mich.
Application April 28, 1934, Serial No. 722,873
2 Claims.
The present invention pertains to artificial bait for casting or trolling purposes and has as its primary object to provide a bait which will rotate when it is drawn through water. The invention resides more particularly in certain features of construction, such as for example, the method of assembling radialblades on the body so that said blades will cause the body to revolve as it is drawn through water, and the particular method of assembling the leader swivel and the hooks on the body. These features of construction are in the interest of strength and ruggedness and result ina bait which is durable and capable of long useful service, and yet which is no more expensive to manufacture than conventional baits of inferior quality as far as workmanship is concerned, and of less practical utility as far as their intended purpose is concerned.
With the above objects in view the structural features wherein the invention resides are particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation;
Fig. 2 is a transverse cross section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal cross section;
- Fig. 4 is a longitudinal cross section with the blades removed;
Figs. 5 and 6 are end elevations;
Fig. 7 is an elevation of a detail;
Figs. 8 and 9 are elevations of blade parts prior to assembly, and
Fig. 10 is an elevation of the two blades assembled together.
On the drawing, the numeral I indicates a body preferably formed of wood in order to provide a certain degree of buoyancy. It will be understood, however, that the present bait is not necessarily a floating type bait. The-body I is preferably torpedo shaped and is circular in cross section throughout its entire length. The body I is formed with an axial bore 2 extending from end to end as more clearly shown in Fig. 4. At the forward end of the body are formed four radial slots, arranged at right angles to one another, the slots being clearly shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
With reference to Fig. 8 there is illustrated a sheet metal blank 4 formed with curved blades 5 and a slot 6 entering from the rear edge I and extending approximately half way through the blank in a direction toward the forward edge. In Fig. 9 there is illustrated a similar blank 8 formed with curved blade portions 9 and having a slot -III entering at the forward edge Hand extending approximately half way through the block in a direction toward the rear edge of the blank. The two blanks 4 and 8 are assembled one on the other and the slots 6 and I0 permit the front and rear edges of the blanks to be disposed flush with one another respectively. The two blanks 4 and 5 3 are illustrated in their assembled position in Fig. 10 and when once assembled in this manner they'are sweated or soldered together.
When the blade forming blanks are assembled and secured together they are inserted in the slots 3 in the manner illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. In the latter figure it may be observed that the portions I? of the blade portions 5 frictionally engage the outside surface of the body I and tend to retain the blanks in the slots 3. In addition the slots and blanks are so proportioned that the blanks have to'be forced into the slots so that the frictional engagement of the side walls of the slots tend to retain the blanks in the slots.
After the metal blanks have been assembled the means for securing a swivel I3 and the hooks I4 is mounted in the body. This means is in the form of a wire, preferably a steel wire, and having a lengthwise extending run I5 formed with loops I6 and I1 receiving the swivel and hooks respectively. The free ends I8 and I9 are caused to reenter into the bore 3 by means of pliers or similar tools and it will thusbe seen that any pull exerted between the swivel I3 and the hooks I4 is taken by the wire I5 and the body I is not, therefore, subjected to any stress. In assembling the wire means the run I5 and end I8 are disposed in opposite meeting angles of the metal blanks as shown in Fig. 2, and this arrangement provides for additional frictional engagement with the metal blanks in a manner to retain them in the slots 3.
In operation the leader of a line is attached to the swivel I3 in the manner well known in the art and the body I is drawn through the water either by trolling or retrieving after a cast. When the body I is drawn through the water the curved blade portions 5 and 9 function to cause the body to revolve.
Although a specific embodiment of the present invention has been illustrated and described it will be understood that various changes may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention, and such changes are contemplated.
What I claim is:-
1. In an artificial bait, a body having an axial bore extending from end to end thereof and intersecting diametric slots entering the forward end thereof, intersecting metal members tightly received in said slots and having portions bent to form blades, said metal members being frictionally retained in said slots, 2. wire member loosely extending through said bore and formed with loops at opposite ends of the body, the free ends of said wire re-entering said bore and extending throughout a substantial portion of the length thereof whereby said ends overlap, a'swivel attached to one of said loops, and hooks attached to the other of said loops.
2. In an artificial bait, a b dy having an axial bore extending from end to end thereof and intersecting diametric slots entering the forward end thereof, intersecting metal members friction- PETER MULLER.
