Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
FEEDING DEVICE The present invention relates to a feeding device for use in fishing; more especially the invention concerns a feeding device for use in fishing which is intended to adopt a known orientation when sited on a water bed.
GB2304018 and EP 1080639 disclose feeding devices which comprise a central body formed with a longitudinal hole or groove through which a fishing line passes. The central body may be weighted with the centre of gravity of the device substantially coincident with the fishing line. In the disclosed fish feeding devices fins are provided which protrude from the central body and act as a frame into which bait (eg a compounded breadcrumb and flavouring mixture) can be moulded. A hook on the end of the fishing line is embedded into the moulded bait.
The type of device described above is known as a method feeder. The device is cast from a fishing rod and sinks to the water bed. Fish are attracted to the body of moulded bait and feed from it. In due course a fish feeding from the bait will take the embedded hook and thus be caught.
One disadvantage of a method feeding device as described is that it is not possible to control or predict the orientation which the device adopts once it reaches a water bed. In certain instances the feeder will land so that the portion of the bait in which the hook is embedded lies facing down onto the water bed. In such a case the hook will be inaccessible to a fish feeding from the device. It is not possible to control the orientation of such a device while sinking or to establish their orientation once they have landed on a water bed.
One object of the present invention is to overcome this problem by providing a feeding device which will reliably orientate itself in a predetermined and repeatable manner
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
when sinking.
In a first aspect the present invention provides a feeding device for use in fishing, comprising a weighted central body and an outer frame, wherein the outer frame is asymmetric about at least one longitudinal reflection plane of the device.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the central body comprises a tube dimensioned to receive a fishing line and a weight formed with a bore into which the tube is located. The longitudinal axis of the tube may be coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the central body.
The tube may comprise means for receiving a line connector at one end. The receiving means may comprise a widened aperture at one end of the tube.
The length of the tube may be greater than that of the frame and may extend beyond one or each end of the frame. In a preferred arrangement, the tube may extend beyond the end of the frame opposite to that in which the line connector is received.
Typically, the weight is in the range of 0.5 to about 3 ounces. The weight may be removable from the frame and may selectively be exchanged with any one of a set of different weights.
In this embodiment, the asymmetric outer frame may comprise a plurality of fins, two or more of which are of the same size and one or more is of a different size. The size of a fin is determined by the maximum radial distance which it extends from the central tube of the feeding device. Typically, one fin is significantly smaller than the other fins. In one arrangement, the outer frame comprises four fins, one of which is significantly smaller than the other fins.
In a preferred arrangement the outer frame comprises four fins, two of which are of equal size and are positioned opposite each other. One of the remaining fins is significantly smaller than the two fins of equal size and the other is larger than the two fins of equal size.
<Desc/Clms Page number 3>
Typically, the fins are generally arcuate in shape. These fins are typically joined to each other at both ends to form a frame with a hollow central cavity.
The fins may be permanently attached to the frame.
In an alternative arrangement, the fins may be detachable from the frame.
In a second aspect the present invention provides a feeding device comprising a tube through which a fishing line can be threaded and an outer frame with an asymmetric weight distribution.
The outer frame may comprise three or more fins, the density of one fin being different from that of the other fins. The said one fin may comprise a metallic material and the other fins may be produced from a plastics material. Typically, the outer frame comprises one metal fin and three plastics fins.
In a third aspect the present invention provides a feeding device comprising a longitudinal tube through which a fishing line can be threaded and an outer frame which comprises one or more weight receiving slots.
The feeding device may comprise a flexible conical tip formed with a bore, the wider end of the tip being received on the portion of the tube which protrudes from the outer frame with the fishing line extending through the tip.
The feeding device may comprise a length of flexible tubing received in the narrow end of the flexible tip. In use, this length of flexible tubing acts to protect the fishing line.
The feeding device may comprise a variable release collet incorporated into line connector receiving means of the tube. The collet allows adjustment of the pressure imposed on a line. connector located in the receiving means and thereby adjustment of the force needed to pull the line connector from the receiving means.
<Desc/Clms Page number 4>
The collet may comprise an extension of the receiving means, a hollow cap, which is dimensioned to locate over the extension, and means for moving the cap selectively lengthwise along the extension, with the shape and dimension of the cap and extension being such that movement of the cap towards the receiving means produces a progressive reduction in the diameter of the extension thereby increasing the pressure imposed on a line connector located within the extension.
A receiving means for a line connector in which the force required to remove the connector from the receiving means can be selectively varied is disclosed in our co-pending UK patent application filed on 22 February 2002.
One advantage of the present invention is that it provides a feeding device that sinks in water with a predetermined and consistently achieved orientation. This feature is achieved because of the asymmetric dimensions and/or asymmetric weight distribution of the device.
These characteristics mean that in use the baited frame has an offset centre of gravity. The offset centre of gravity causes the feeder device to adopt predictable orientation when sited on a water bed. Thus, that portion of the body of bait which will lie upwards from the water bed can be reliably predicted and the hook can therefore be embedded in a portion of bait that will definitely be accessible to a fish.
Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a feeding device that comprises a weight which can be exchanged for any one of a set of different weights. The ability to alter the weight of such a device is advantageous in allowing the device to be tailored according to the particular conditions under which it is being used. The heavier the weight, the further the feeding device can be cast. Conversely, a heavy weight is not suitable in all situations. For example, a heavy weight is not suitable for use with a lightweight rod as it poses a risk of breaking the rod.
A further advantage of the present invention is that it provides a feeding device comprising a longitudinal tube with means for receiving a line connector at one end of the tube. The line connector can be manually extracted from the receiving portion of the tube, thereby preventing distress to a fish should the feeding device become caught or entangled
<Desc/Clms Page number 5>
in any way or should the line break.
A further advantage of the present invention is that it provides a feeding device comprising a variable release collet incorporated into the line connector receiving means.
This collet allows the pulling force required for removing a line connector to be adjusted according to the particular conditions under which it is being used.
Additional features and advantages of the present invention are described in, and will be apparent from, the description of the presently preferred embodiments which are set out below with reference to the drawings in which: Figure 1 shows an isometric view of a feeding device in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 shows a section taken along the xz plane of the feeding device illustrated in Figure 1; Figure 3 shows a section taken along the yz plane of the feeding device illustrated in Figure 1; Figure 4 is an end view of the feeding device illustrated in Figure 1; Figure 5 illustrates the components ofthe outer frame ofthe feeding device illustrated in Figure 1; Figure 6 shows a section taken through the longitudinal tube of a feeding device in accordance with the invention; Figure 7 is an end view of the longitudinal tube illustrated in figure 6 taken in the direction of arrow VII; Figure 8 shows a section taken through the longitudinal tube, comprising a variable
<Desc/Clms Page number 6>
release collet, of a feeding device in accordance with the invention.
The feeding device illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 comprises an outer frame 1 and a central tube 2 located along the central longitudinal axis of the frame 1. The outer frame 1 comprises four fins. The first fin 3 and second fin 5 are of equal size, the third fin 4 is larger than the first and second fins 3,5 and the fourth fin 6 is smaller than the first and second fins 3,5. The maximum radial distance that the larger fin 4 extends from the central tube 2 of the feeding device is greater than that of the first and second fins 3,5. The maximum radial distance that the smaller fin 6 extends from the central tube 2 of the feeding device is smaller than that of the first and second fins 3,5. As will be seen from Figure 2, the frame 1 is therefore asymmetric about the yz reflection plane.
The fins are typically produced from a plastics material; however, other materials may be employed. The fins are arcuate in shape, more specifically the radius of the arc is greater towards the base 7 of the frame and narrower towards the apex 8 of the frame. Each fin has five openings 9 spaced along the length of the fin. The edges of the openings 9 are substantially parallel to the edge of the respective fin. The fins may, however, have a different number of openings.
In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 5 the fins are joined at each end of the arc to a first joining member 10 and a second joining member 11. The first joining member 10 is located at the base 7 of the frame. The second joining member 11 is located at the apex 8 of the frame. The first joining member 10 and second joining member 11 both comprise a cylindrical body to which the fins are attached. The fins are therefore joined at each end of the arc forming a frame with a central cavity. The frame 1 is generally teardrop shaped, with the diameter adjacent the base 7 of the frame wider than the diameter adjacent the apex 8 of the frame.
A first central cylindrical channel 12, extending along the longitudinal axis of the frame, is formed within the first joining member 10. A second channel 13 is formed within the second joining member 11. The tube 2 extending along the longitudinal axis of the feeding device is located within the channels 12,13. The external diameter of the tube 2 is of slightly
<Desc/Clms Page number 7>
smaller dimensions than the diameter of the first 12 and second 13 channels, so that the tube 2 fits closely within the channels 12, 13.
The tube 2 is dimensioned to receive a fishing line. The tube 2 comprises receiving means 14 for a line connector at the first end 15 of the tube. The receiving means 14 comprises a widened aperture of the tube 2. The tube 2 is received in the channels of the joining members, oriented so that the receiving means 14 is located at the base 7 of the frame 1. The second end 16 of the tube 2 extends beyond the apex 8 of the frame.
As will be seen from Figure 5, the outer frame 1 comprises fins which are reversibly detachable from the frame 1. In the illustrated embodiment the second fin 4 and the fourth fin 6 are detachable from the frame 1. The detachable fins have T-shaped projections 17 located at each end of the arc. The projections 17 can be received in complementary slots 18, located in the first 10 and second 11 joining members.
Figure 6 shows the longitudinal tube 2 of a feeding device in accordance with the invention. When positioned in the frame, the first end 15 of the tube is located at the base 7 of the frame and the second end 16 is located at the apex 8 of the frame. The majority of the length ofthe tube has an external diameter tapered gradually, typically from 3.3mm at the first end 15 to3. 0mm at the second end 16, and a constant internal diameter. The first end 15 of the tube has an end section 19 of greater external diameter than that of the majority of the tube. In this embodiment the end section comprises approximately 30% of the length of the tube 2. The receiving means 14 for a line connector is located in this end section 19. The receiving means 14 comprises an aperture widened relative to the internal diameter of the majority of the tube. The aperture is dimensioned to receive a line connector with a tight fit.
When a line connector is positioned in the receiving means 14 it is held firmly enough that it will not fall out, but not so firmly that it cannot be pulled out with reasonable force.
A flattened circular section 20, of wider diameter than the end section 19, is located at the end of the tube. The circular section 20 acts as a stopper to secure the tube into the frame 1, preventing it from sliding through the channels 12,13.
<Desc/Clms Page number 8>
Figure 8 shows the longitudinal tube of a feeding device according to the invention, wherein the tube comprises a variable release collet 21 built into the first end 15 of the tube. In this embodiment the line connector receiving means 14 extends beyond the circular section 20 and thus beyond the base 7 of the frame. The extension 22 of the receiving means has two opposite slots 23 and an externally tapered end 24. The collet comprises a hollow cap 25 which is located around the extension 22. The hollow cap 25 has an internally tapered diameter and when pushed further onto the extension acts to compress the extension. The slots 23 allow this compression to result in a decrease in the diameter of the receiving means, thereby increasing the pressure imposed upon a line connector located within the extension and holding a line connector more securely. The collet 21 therefore allows adjustment of the force required for a line connector to be pulled out of the receiving means 14.
In an alternative embodiment the external surface of the extension may carry a screwthread which cooperates with a complementary screw-thread formed in the internal surface of the cap, enabling selective lengthwise movement of the cap along the extension.
A feeding device according to the present invention comprises a weight located in the central cavity of the frame. The weight is formed with a central bore and is positioned in the central cavity of the frame 1 with the tube 2 extending through the bore and acting to hold the weight in position. In certain embodiments of the invention this weight may be removable from the frame and in these embodiments the first step of operation is the selection of the desired weight and its assembly into the centre of the device.
The assembled feeding device is prepared for use by threading a fishing line extending from a rod through the longitudinal tube 2 of the feeding device, from the apex 8 to the base 7 of the frame. The end of this line is attached to a line connector, which is located in the line connector receiving means 14 at the base of the frame. A hook line extends from the other end of the line connector to a hook.
Prior to the line being threaded through the tube, it may be threaded through a length of flexible tubing. This tubing is received in a conical tip positioned at the apex of the frame and acts to protect the length of line adjacent the apex of the frame.
<Desc/Clms Page number 9>
Mouldable bait, for example a compounded breadcrumb and flavouring mixture is moulded into the frame of the feeding device. The resulting body of bait should reflect the shape of the fins. During the process of moulding the bait into the frame the hook is embedded into the bait. The hook is always embedded into the body of bait on either side of larger fin 4.
The feeding device may now be cast into the water. The asymmetry of the outer frame means that the weight of the feeding device is not located centrally with respect to the body of bait. Instead the weight is located with a bias towards the portion of the body of bait comprising the smaller fin 6. This feature of weight bias towards the smaller fin causes the feeding device to sink in a consistent orientation, with the smaller fin 6 always landing facing downwards. The hook can therefore be reliably positioned in a portion of the bait that will be accessible to fish.
In the event that the feeding device becomes stuck, for example by being snagged on plants on the water bed, and the line is subsequently broken, the remaining length of line can be pulled through the device by release of the line connector from the receiving means. This feature ensures that in this situation the fish will be able to free itself from the device.
For the purposes of clarity and a concise description features are described herein as part of the same or separate embodiments, however it will be appreciated that the scope of the invention may include embodiments having combinations of all or some of the features described.
