Definitions

• the present invention relates to the field of fishing, and more precisely it relates to a dispenser of fish food for fishing, that can be used by the amateurs of sea, river, lake sport fishing, in particular with fishing rod. Description of the prior art
• Sportsmen fond of fishing often use the method of distributing fish food, sometimes defined with other regional words such as for example "chum”.
• a certain amount of fish food is spread in the area where the hook is hidden by the bait, and such food is often the same food of the bait and can bee freely eaten by the fish.
• This "fish food” has the double function of attracting a big amount of fish in the same zone where the bait is present and of setting a so called “greed impulse” that induces the fish to eat as quickly as possible and without becoming suspicious.
• the "greed impulse” produces the effect that the fish ends quickly all the food distributed, comprised the bait, and then the probability of successful bites arises. Moreover, further launches of the hook with bait into the zone where the fish are still under the “greed impulse” have still high probability of successful bites.
• the dispenser of fish food according to the present invention whose characteristic is that it comprises a body suitable for being launched by means of a fishing rod and having a chamber inside suitable for being filled of fish food, means being provided for keeping closed the chamber during the launch and for causing it to open automatically after that the body has fallen into the water.
• the body advantageously, is hollow axially, in order to allow the passage of a fishing line, whereby before and after the launch the body can slide on the line between two predetermined positions , defined by stops located on the fishing line.
• the body has a floating portion, in order to float above the hook at the end of the launch.
• the body has a weight slidably connected to the floating portion. Once fallen into water the weight moves down away from the floating portion thus opening automatically the chamber.
• the body is formed by a portion with function of floating plug and with an axial hole wherein a elongated slider slides with an axial recess. From the floating plug a wall extends to it coaxial that defines a chamber containing the fish food open to an end.
• the slider comprises a stem, which crosses both the floating plug and the chamber, and that ends with a head suitable for blocking like a stopper the chamber, to prevent the fish food from escaping during the launch.
• the stem opposite to the enlarged portion, has an enlarged end that beats against the floating plug.
• the head is made of a heavy material so that in the water the sliding of the slider and the opening the chamber is made easier.
• the weight is advantageously such that it substantially balances the floating action of the floating plug.
• the shape of the wall that defines the chamber, of the floating plug and of the head is preferably symmetrical axially in order to be aerodynamic during the launch.
• the floating plug can be of cork and similar material, or can be made of a seal tight hollow body and containing air.
• FIG. 1 and 2 show a sectional longitudinal view of a dispenser of fish food for fishing respectively in open and closed position ;
• FIG. 3 and 4 show a view from the outside of the device of figures 1 and 2;
• - figure 5 shows a perspective view of a step of filling the device of figures 1 and 2;
• - figures 6 and 7 show a perspective view of two steps of launch of the device of figure 5 filled of fish food;
• - figures 8 and 9 show the step of launching by means of a fishing rod of the device of figure 5; - figure 10 shows the closed position of the device during the launch;
• - figure 11 shows the moment of fall into the water of the device of figure 5; - figure 12 shows the release of the fish food after that the chamber of the device of figure 5 has open in the water.
• a dispenser of fish food for fishing comprises a body 1 having inside a chamber 2 suitable for being filled of fish food.
• the body 1 is formed by a portion 3 with function of floating plug and with an axial hole 4 wherein an elongated slider 5 slides with an axial recess 6. From floating plug 3 a wall extends 7 to it co-axial that defines chamber 2 containing the fish food, open at an end 2a (figure 2) .
• Open end 2a of chamber 2 is closed by head 10 of slider 5 that has a stem 12 that crosses both floating plug 3 and chamber 2 and has inside the through axial recess ⁇ in which the fishing line slides.
• Stem 12 opposite to head 10 has an enlarged end 13 that can beat on the floating plug 3.
• Head 10 is made of heavy material, for example lead, so that in the water (figure 2 and 4) the weight moves down away from the floating portion and opens automatically chamber 2 that otherwise is closed by head
• Floating plug 3 can be made of a seal tight hollow body and containing air, like in figures 1 and 2. It can be of cork and similar material. In any case, the weight of head 10 substantially balances the floating action of floating plug 3.
• a user 26 can arrange the dispenser 1 according to the invention slidable on a fishing line 20 between two stops 21, one on the side of the hook 22 and one opposite to the hook, for example respectively a ball of lead and a cork floating plug.
• Other known systems may be used to obtain the same result of blocking the dispenser between two fixed points of the fishing line.
• the distance X between the stops 21 and 22 is chosen in order to be long some tenth of centimetres. Even a few centimetres beyond the overall length of the dispenser 1 open in the position of figure 5 may be enough.
• the fish food 23, made for example of grubs is put into chamber 2 of the body 1 by means of spoon like tool 24 or in another desired way.
• fishing line 20 (figure 7) is kept hanging by gravity so that, owing to the weight same, dispenser 1 rests on beat 21 and a conventional launch by means of a fishing rod 30, to which the end of fishing line 20 is tied, can be done (figures 8 and 9) .
