riginal application filed 0otoher`31,1904, Serial No. 230,689. Divided and this application filed April 4, 1905. Serial No. 253,772.
To all whom, t may concern:
Be it known that we, OTTO HOLZ and PAUL HAERRY, citizens of the United States. residing at Schenectady, in the. county of Schenectady and State ofNew York. have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Bait- Moving Devices, of which the following is a Y The present application is a division of our prior application, Serial No. 230,689, tiled -Our present invention relates tothe specic form of ao bait-moving device fr fishing purposes and'diiiers from our prior application inv that it relates to a oat that is propelled by the motor mechanism secured to or Another object of our invention is to control the path of travel of the bait-moving device or iloat--that is, when it is desired to propel the float in a circle the lateral displacement of one of the disk-carrying arms out of symmetry with the other will cause the desired effect to take place. l
The bait-moving device comprises a iioat in which .is mounted a stored-up energy device or motor which may consist of a casing inclosing a fiat coiled spring, suitable gearing, and automatic means for arresting the 'movements of the gearingto which a propeller-` The movements of the motor are controlled by the larms which carry the disks or balls of cork which raise the arms when the iioatv strikes the water, due to'their buoyancy, and disengage the pin or stop from the perforations in one of the gears of the motor mech-A anism, allowing the motor to drive the propeller-shaft. If the device is withd rawn from the water, the weight of the disks will bring the pin or stop into engagement with perforations in the gear-wheel, thereby arresting` its further rotation and stopping the baitmoving device or iioat.
In the accompanying drawings, which form a part f this specification, Figure 1 is a vertical section of a iioat containing a motor arcircle. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same. Fig.f3 is a planview of the motor` mechanism for driving the propeller-shaft; and Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the same, showing the 'stop mechanism or means for releasing the motor. Referring now to the drawings, the twocured together by any suitable means, such asby. winding bands oi' wire 2`around it near ends. Inside the float a recess is provided to receive a motor-casing 3, and in this casing is secured a spring-motor 4. Thestop mech- .anism and release device comprise a stoplever 5, which is piivoted in a bearing 6 on the top of the casing The lever 5 carries a pin 8, which registers with a circle of perforations in a gear-wheel 9 of the motor-.gearing, so as to prevent the spring-motor from unwinding when not in use. Secured to the float at its bottom is a Ein -keel 10, which tends to keep the iioat in an upright position. J ournaled in the sides of the iloat are two adjustable arms 11, carrying disks or balls of cork which raise the arms when the float is llowered into the water, this operation moving' the lever 5, to which they are secured, and therebycausing the pin or stop 8 to disengage from the perforations of the wheel 9, allowing the spring-motor'to drive the shaft 12. This shaft rotates a propeller 13 at the rear end of the float. The bait is suspended from a rod 14 atthe stern of the oat.
An arbor 15 is mounted in the upper end of the motor-casing, and its end is squared to receive a key for winding the motor'when it is run down. v'Ihe'adjustable arms 11 are provided with adjustable connections 16 to enable the iioat to be driven in a circular path,
depending on the unequal lateral adjustment of the arms. If the armsare displaced symmetrically, the motor will propel the float in a straight path. The fishing-linel is attached to the stud 17, which passes through the upper portion of the float. This stud is fastened to the motor-casing 7.
The operation of our device' is as follows:
rl`he motor having been wound up, the iioat' is lowered into the water. When the float comes in contact therewith, the adjustable arms that carry the disks or balls of cork are raised due to the buoyancy thereof, thus causing the pin or stop to disengage from the per-l forations of the wheel, allowing the motor to drive the. propeller-shaft through gearing, moving the float to which thebait is attached. If the iloat is withdrawn from the water, the weight of the adjustable arms and disks will bring the `pin or-stop into engagement with the perforated gear-wheel, thereby arresting its further-rotation.
In accordance with thel provisions of the patent statutes we have described the principle of operation of our invention,together IOO IIO
with the apparatus which we now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof; but we desire4 to have it understood thatv the apparatus shown is only illustrative and that the invention can be carried ont by other means.
What we claim as new, and desire to secure Aby Letters Patent offthe United States, is
'1. A bait-moving' device, comprising the combination of a float, a bait suspending means, a motor, and means for controlling the path of travel of the ioat.
2. A bait-moving device, comprising the combination of a float, a motor, and automatic means for controlling the operation of' the motor and the` path of travel of the float.
3. A bait-moving device, comprising' lthe combination of a float, a bait suspending' means, a motor, and automatic means for controlling the operation of the motor and the path of travel of the float.
4. In a ,bait-moving device, the combination of a float, a motor, a shaft, and a propeller on said shaft for driving the fioat. 5. In a bait-moving' device, the combination of a float, a bait-suspending means, a motor, a shaft, and a propeller on said shaft for driving t'lic float.
6. In a bait device, the combination of a A lioat, a motor, a shaft, a propeller on said shaft for driving' the float, and means mounted on the float-for starting or stopping,r said motor. 7. In a bait device, the combination of. a Iioat, a motor, a shaft, a propeller on said shaft for driving the 'loat, and means mounted on the float for controlling its path of travel.
1n witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands this 3d day of April, 1905.
