Definitions

  • This invention relates to fishing lure attachment assemblies and methods of forming the same.
  • Fishing lure attachment assemblies come in many shapes and sizes. Such assemblies generally accommodate attachment to a peripheral fishing lure and provide an ancillary attractor for fish. Such ancillary attachments or attractors must be durable and able to withstand the abuses expected in the operating environment.
  • fishing lure attachments In addition to being durable, fishing lure attachments must be relatively inexpensive to manufacture if such are to be successfully commercialized.
  • One of the goals of the fishing lure industry is to produce a fishing lure or fishing lure attachment which is durable, inexpensive and easy to manufacture.
  • This invention arose out of concerns associated with providing a fishing lure attachment which is durable enough to withstand the abuses expected in the operating environment, and both inexpensive and easy to manufacture.

Such is desirable from the standpoint of enabling engagement mechanism 30 to snap and engage or form a snap-over fit with opening 14 or other feature of the collet. Other materials can be used.

A length of wire is provided and advantageously formed to define a suitable capturing mechanism, such as reverse bend 28, although other constructions are possible. In one embodiment of forming the preferred attachment assembly, there is a folding step in which filaments 18 are folded to define a fold or bend 24 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • This folding is a preferred manner for effecting a holding of the filaments so that tension can be developed to perform a tensioning step described more fully below.
  • bend or fold 24 is engaged by a suitable fold capturing mechanism 34.
  • the fold capturing mechanism is a loop of material such as line loop 36 which is extended through the collet as shown.
  • the preferred fold capturing mechanism is described as a loop of line, other fold capturing mechanisms are possible.
  • the filaments are engaged and thereafter tensioned through the application of opposed forces as indicated in Fig. 6.
  • One manner of effecting the opposed forces is by gripping one end of the line loop with one hand, and gripping the filaments with the other hand and applying the desired opposed forces. Other methods of imparting the desired tension may be used.
  • Fig. 7 shows an intermediate step in which the tensioned filaments are inserted or otherwise passed through the collet by being inserted into end opening 16 and drawn upwardly in the direction of the arrows.
  • Fig. 8 shows a point in the assembly process where the filaments have been drawn fully through the collet in a manner which defines a filament exaggerated loop 38. Accordingly, fitting assembly 20, a fragmentary portion of which is shown, is thereafter inserted through loop 38 and into an operative position in which loop 38 is engaged for subsequent suspension within the collet. Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 9, the fitting assembly and the filaments are drawn partially back through the collet in a manner which brings curved end region 31 of engagement mechanism 30 into engagement with the collet rim as shown.

Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à un assemblage de fixation de leurre de pêche (10), qui est composé d'un collier tubulaire (12) comportant deux ouvertures (14, 16). De ce collier partent des filaments attachés (18), dont les extrémités (19) s'étendent en dehors du collier (12). Un système de montage (20) est inséré à l'intérieur du collier (12) et comporte un mécanisme de capture (22), lequel sert à attacher le filament (18) dans le collier (12), ainsi qu'un mécanisme de fixation (26) qui, étant le prolongement du mécanisme de capture (22), traverse le collier et sort à l'autre extrémité pour faire office de point de fixation pour le leurre. Un mécanisme d'emprise (30) permet de prendre appui sur l'ouverture du collier (12) pour y fixer le système de montage (20). Une description des procédés permettant d'assembler la fixation du leurre est fournie.
