The present invention relates to apparatus for rotectively retaining fishermen's hooked leadera particularly cat-gut leaders.
The principal object of the invention, is to pro vide a device which will support a plurality of such leaders in such a manner, that they do not become entangled with each other, so that any one of them is immediately available for removal and use.
Another object is to provide a device of this class which will keep the hooks thereon from fouling with each other, or with other objects or paraphenalia in a tackle box.
A further object is to provide a retainer which is so designed, that the leaders carried thereby are at no place bent with abruptness sufficient to weaken or dama e them.
An additional object is to provide a device of this class which is light in weight.
A still further object is to provide a retainer which is so designed that the hooks and leaders may be easily installed thereon and removed therefrom.
Other objects will be apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying two-sheets of drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a carrier or retainer constructed in accordance with the present invention:
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional View taken substantially along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view illustrating the installation of a fish-hook leader;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a slightly different embodiment of the invention;
Figure 5 is a fragmentary top view of the retaining plate assembly of the embodiment of Fig. 4, the housing having been removed; and,
Figure 6 is a perspective view of a single retaining plate of slightly different configuration than those in Figs. 1 and 4.
Like characters of reference designate like parts in those figures of the drawings in which they occur.
In the drawings:
The reference numeral 1 indicates, as a whole, one of two identical elongated side strips which may be made of any suitable rigid material, for instance, plastic. metal, or wood. Intermediate their ends, the two strips I are connected by two or more transverse bolts or headed rods 2, which pass through aligned perforations in the strips, and the ends of which are provided with nuts 3 to limit outward movement of the strips l.
Loosely mounted in face to face relation upon the bolts 2 are a plurality of flat plates 4 which are urged toward each other by helical compres sion springs 5 around the bolts 2 and inside of the strips l.
The plates 4 of Figs. 1, 2 and 3, have elongated grooves 6 which extend from end to end in one side surface of each plate. The office of the grooves 6 will be more fully described hereinb'elow.
The spaces lying between the similar ends of the two strips I, are each bridged by a sheet metal ribbon body if, and each ribbon 1 covers contiguously both the upper and the lower edge surfaces of the strip ends to which they are attached, as well asenveloping the rounded ends of the strips. Detents 8 are inserted through the ribbons 1 to hold them rigidly in place upon the strips f.
Those portions of the ribbons l which are bent around the ends of the strip I are deformed to provide spaced corrugations 9.
Each flat portion of each ribbon I which lies between the strip ends and the adjacent ends of the plates 4, is provided with transversely extending elongated through slots ill. The slots H) are each sufficiently long to permit insertion therein of the hook portion of a usual fish-hook H, but are so narrow that the hooks cannot be removed from the slots unless their shank portions are in positions in which they extend trans-- versely of the ribbon 'l.
The device, constructed as above described, is utilized as a retaining carrier for leader connected fish-hooks, by inserting the fish-hook in one of the slots ID, in the manner described above, by then drawing its leader I2 into a position in which it extends along the edges of the plates 4, and by then forcing the leader between two of the plates until it resides in one of the grooves "6 in the plates side surface (Fig. 3). In forcing the leader l2 between two of the plates 4 and into one of the grooves 6, the plates are sprung slightly apart against the action of the springs 5. The dotted line in Fig. 4 illustrates how an exceptionally long leader may be wound entirely around the device.
In cases in which the hook I l is equipped with a long leader l2, the leader may be bent around the corrugated portion of the ribbon 1 and may be inserted between the plates on the opposite side of the device from the hook I I.
In Figs. 4 and 5, a slightly different type of plate is illustrated, and these plates are indicated by the reference numeral 4. In this embodiment, instead of the exposed edges of the plates being flat, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the edges of the plates 4' are deformed to provide end projections l4 and central projections l5.
In utilizing this embodiment of the plates, the leaders l2 may first be passed between any desired two of the end projections l4, and thereafter may be passed between some other pair of the central projections 15, and a still different pair of the other end projections, (Fig. 4). This arrangement tends to keep the leaders in a more taut condition so that the hooks l I remain firmly positioned in the slots I0.
In Fig. 6 is shown a plate 4 which embodies a; still diiferent arrangement for frictionally engaging the leaders I 2.
In this embodiment, the exposed edges of the plate 4" are straight, but they are provided with slots [6 through which the leaders l2 may be extended to obtain frictional engagement, with the plate.
Obviously the invention is susceptible to some change or alteration without defeating its practicability, and I therefore do not wish to be confined to the preferred embodiment shown in the drawings and described herein, further than I am limited by the scope of the appendedclaims.
I claim:
1. A device of the class described, including: a
substantially rectangular hollow body of sheet material, having an upper and lower wall, each wall having a group of transversely extending staggered through openings for receiving the points of fish-hooks, each of said groups of openings being located adjacent to the endsof said body; a plurality of longitudinally extending flat plates disposed on edge in face to face relation to each other, located intermediate the two groups of openings, said plates being of suilicient width to project above and below said walls and being adapted to receive fish-hook leaders therebetween; and means for' resiliently urging said plates toward each other for impinging and retaining said leaders. 2. Structure as specified in claim 1, in which said through openings are narrower than the ar-- cuate distance between the point and the sham]; of a fish-hook.
3. Structure as specified in claim 1, are located in which the ends of the body are arcuate from face to face, and laterally spaced transversely extending grooves in said ends for nesting leaders when wrapped therearound.
4. A device of the class described, including: a substantially rectangular hollow body of sheet material, said body having arcuate end surfaces extending between its two faces, the upper and lower walls of said body each having a group of spaced transversely extending openings therethrough for receiving the points of fish-hooks; a plurality of laterally spaced vertically extending grooves in said end surfaces for nesting fishhook leaders when wrapped around said body; and means carried by the body for retaining the leaders in such a position that the fish-hook points are disposed transversely of said openings.
5. A device of the class described, including: a substantially rectangular hollow body of sheet material, said body having arcuate end surfaces extending between its two faces, the upper and lower walls of said body having transversely extending elongated openings therethrough for receiving the points of fish-hooks with leaders attached thereto; and means carried by the body for retaining the leaders in such a position that the fish-hook points are disposed transversely of saidopenings.
