FISHING-FLY HOLDER.
Application filed June 14, 1907.
- following is a specification.
This invention relates particularly to the means which are provided in fishing fly books and cases for holding the guts or snells of the flies, although the means which embodies this invention may be used for other purposes, such as holding the snells of ordinary hooks and gut leaders.
The object of the invention is to provide a gut holder which is very sim le to make and apply and which will securely hold the slippery and hard gut without pinching, crimping, bending or otherwise injuring it.
Figure 1 ofthe drawings shows a plan of the tray of a fly-book or case with common means for temporarily holding hooks and means which embody this invention for holding the gut straight without pinching, crimping or bending it. Fig. 2 shows a plan on very much larger scale of a short portion of the gut holder. Fig. 3 shows an edge view of the holder which is shown in Fig. 2.
The tray 1, that is illustrated and which forms a leaf of a fly book, is made of aluminum but, of course, the tray could be formed of brass, copper, German silver or other metal or paper or celluloid. Hook holding combs 2 are fastened in this tray near each end. The teeth of these combs are bent outwardly from the tray sufficiently to permit the hooks to be readily caught under them. Near the center of the tray there can be fastened one or more gut holders 3. These holders may be made of brass, copper, German silver or other suitable wire in the shape of a flexible spiral coil. This coil is desirably held in place by a strip of metal 4 which extends through the coil and has its ends fastened to the tray.
The coil is formed by first running the wire through a machine which will bend it back and forth and indent or corrugate it in one lane. After the wire has been thus formed 1t is wound upon a smooth mandrel with the Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 21, 1908.
Serial No. 379,093.
1 bends, dents or corru ations lying flat on the surface of the mandre The wire is bent and coiled upon the mandrel in such manner that the projections formed by the bends in the adjacent turns of the coil extend toward each other so as to nearly if not quite touch.v In this manner a holder is provided with spaces through which the gut can loosely extend without being crimped, bent or pinched to any degree, and yet when snapped into these openings between'the turns of the coil can not accidentally escape, for the reason that they are held in position by the projections which are formed by the bends and which extend from turn to turn of the coil. Although these bonds or projections securely hold the gut from displacement they easily spring apart when the gut is inserted or intentionally withdrawn. This holding means is cheaply manufactured and easily applied to the leaf of a book or tray of a case in such manner that the gut of hooks, flies or leaders which are placed on the leaf or in the tray, can be quickly snapped between the turns and so held that they will retain their positions without being pinched or squeezed, for after being snapped between the adjacent projections of the turns they lie in the spaces which are sufficiently large to hold them without causing any damage whether the gut is wet or dry.
The invention claimed is:
1. A gut holder formed of a single coil of wire with the adjacent turns of the coil bent backwardly and forwardly so that the turns vary in distance from each other, substantially as specified.
2. A fishing fly holder having a back, means for the attachment of hooks and means for retaining gut, said gut-retaining means being formed by a single coil of wire with the adjacent turns of the coil bent backwardly and forwardly so that the turns vary in distance from each other, substantially as specified.
