EXPANSIBLE FISH-HOOK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 700,993, dated May 27, 1902.
Application filed January 29, 1902. Serial No. 91,776. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR TAYLOR, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Expansible Fish-Hooks, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawings.
My invention is an expansible fish-hook comprising a series of independent hooks distributed, the same being hereinafter fully described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims. I
Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a plan of the device looking as along its axis. Fig. 2 is a side elevation viewed as indicated by arrow in Fig. 1, parts being shown in two positions by full and dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a plan of the expander, the hooks and the axial stem being transversely sectioned as on the dotted line 3 in Fig. 2, parts being broken away. Fig. 4: is a transverse section of the stem, taken as on the dotted line 4 in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of upper parts of the device seen as indicated by arrow in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a cross-section of parts, taken as on the dotted line 6 in Fig- 7. Fig. 7 isa central longitudinal section of the movable head and associated part, taken on the dotted line 7 in Fig. 6, parts being broken away. Figs. 3 to 7, inclusive, are drawn to scales larger than the scale of Figs. 1 and 2.
Referring to the parts shown, A'is the head of the device, it being hollow and cylindrical in form, having hangers or supports a a a for the hooks B, which may be three (more or less) in number.
0 is a central stem passing axially through the head A, being turned to form a loop or eye b above the head for receiving the line or cord.
D is a cylindrical band constituting an enlarged part of the stem 0 in position and of a size to be pressed into the hollow head A, as shown. The head is of elastic material and split longitudinally at one side at 0, so as to slightly yield outward as the enlarged part D is pressed therein. This coaction of the parts A and D forms a moderate friction tension between them sufficient to hold the stem and the head normally together, as shown in Fig. 5, but to readily yield and allow the head to leave the part D and descend along the stem when the hooks are pulled downward by the fish.
At its lower end the stem 0 enters and is made rigid with a circular deflectingdisk or expander E, formed at its edge with inclined radial loops d d (1, equally spaced. The stem is usually made circular in cross-section above the enlarged part D, but rectangular in crosssection below said part, as shown, so that the head though sliding freely along the stem may not turn thereon. The expander E is made crowning or with an upward bulge e at the middle, the hooks passing through the respective loops which constitute guides for them, bearing at their rear convex sides against the convex part or bulge c, as shown. When the head A and the stem are united by means of the friction between their surfaces in contact, both move or act together as if a single body; but when the head is released from the adjacent part of the stem it is free to move independently downward along the latter until it meets the expander E, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. The hooks are held on pivot-pins f in the hangers a of the head, so as to turn or swing in vertical planes, and when the head moves downward along the stem'the hooks glide through the loops d and finally assume the expanded positions, as appears in dotted lines in Fig. 2, when the head meets the expander. The convexed or bulged form of the expander causes it to control the hooks as to their lateral positions when the head A moves downward and throw their points outward, as shown. the parts moves downward trulyalong the stem and without turning, which causes the hooks to be carried straight and fairly through the loops and without becoming twisted or turned askew and caused to cramp in the loops, as might be the case were the forms of the parts such as to permit the head to turn on the stem.
The device is shown in its normal position by full lines in Fig. 2, and when the fish takes the baited hooks in its mouth and pulls thereon, as in the act of swimming away, the head A will be drawn off of the part D of the stem and downward along the latter, the hooks correspondingly spreading or expanding to firmly hold the fish.
The head on account of the form of What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. An expansiblefish-hook comprising a stem, an elastic head adapted to move along the stem, an expander on the stem to move within the head, and hooks held by the head and controlled by the expander, substantially asshown and described.
2. An expansible fish-hook comprising a stem, an elastic head adapted to move along the stem, an expander on the stem to move within and expand the head, having peripheral loops or guides, and hooks held by the head and occupying the loops, substantially as set forth.
3. An expansible fish-hook comprising a central stem, a hollow elastic head adapted to move along the stem the latter having an enlarged part to enter the head to form a frictional tension with the same, a series of hooks carried by the head, and an expander rigid with the stem to control the hooks, substantially as shown and described.
4. A multiple fish-hook comprising a stem having an enlarged part, a hollow movable head divided at one side adapted to receive the enlarged part of the stem, a series of books held by the head, and an expander to control the hooks, substantially as shown and described.
5. An expansible fish-hook comprising a 1 stem, an elastic head adapted to move along the stem, a bulged or crowning expander on the stem the bulge of which is engaged by said head, said expander being formed with inclined radial loops equally spaced at its edge, and a series of hooks held by the head 7. An expansible fish-hook comprising a stem, an elastic head adapted to move along the stem, an expander on the stem, and hooks held by the head and controlled by the expander,means being provided within the head to cause the stem and the head to act both independently, and together as one piece,substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, this 23d day of January, 1902, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ARTHUR TAYLOR.
