DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
A baiting machine of this type is known in the prior art, in which the angle at which the bait is rotated during the baiting is defined only by the angle at which the holding arm is rotated. If the baiting machine is used for baiting circular hooks, i.e. hooks whose pointed section is terminated by a point which projects substantially perpendicularly to the shank of the hook, the bait is not rotated far enough to enable it to be satisfactorily threaded into the hook, i.e. after the baiting is completed it abuts against the bend near the shank. The baiting is therefore not completed when the hooks leave the baiting machine, with the result that the bait is not secured or can work loose from the hook after the hook has left the baiting machine.
Furthermore, baiting machines are known with complicated, separate devices for forcibly rotating the hook during baiting. Moreover, these known baiting machines have devices which flatten the bait in order to make it pass between the point of the hook and the shank, a process which can destroy the bait. Since these devices are complicated, they are subject to failure and malfunctioning, thereby increasing the cost of the production, operation and maintenance of the baiting machine.
The object of the invention is to provide a baiting machine which is not encumbered by the above-mentioned disadvantages.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawing which schematically illustrates an embodiment of a baiting machine according to the invention.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a baiting station of a baiting machine, where sections of the baiting machine are omitted.
FIGS. 2-4 are views similar to that in FIG. 1, showing different stages during the baiting of a fishing hook, further sections of the baiting machine being omitted.
In connection with the figures, the terms up and down should be understood to refer to the direction towards the edge of the page which faces away from and towards the reader respectively.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, a baiting station 1 comprises an elongated bait holder 2 which is mounted near its left end in a stationary part 3 of the baiting machine, thus enabling the bait holder 2 to pivot about an axis 4. At the right end of the bait holder it has a support side 6 which in the figure extends obliquely in relation to the bait holder's longitudinal direction.
At a first section 7 of the bait holder 2 located at the upper end of the support side 6, the bait holder 2 has a spike 22 which projects away from the support side 6. At a second section 9 of the bait holder 2 located at the lower end of the support side 6, the bait holder 2 has a pin 20 which projects away from the support side 6. The free end of the pin 20 is blunt, while the free end of the spike 22 is sharp.
Moreover, the baiting machine has a curved holding arm 8 which is similarly mounted near its upper end in a stationary part 19 of the baiting machine, thus enabling the holding arm 8 to pivot about an axis 10. At the lower end of the holding arm there is provided a contact surface 12 which is arranged to face the support side 6. A pressure spring 14 attempts to move the holding arm clockwise about the axis 10 in relation to the stationary part 19.
Between the support side 6 and the contact surface 12 there is placed a bait 15 which is held by the contact surface 12 against the support side 6.
Under the bait holder 2 and the holding arm 8 there extends substantially in the bait holder's longitudinal direction a plate 16 which forms a base on which a fishing hook 18 can be pulled past the bait holder 2 and the holding arm 8 by means of a snood 24 which is attached to a line (not shown).
It should be understood that the bait 15, e.g., has been separated from a larger piece of bait by means of a known cutting device (not shown) and placed between the support side 6 and the surface 12 via a channel 17 of a known bait transport device, since, before the bait 15 is affixed, the bait holder 2 and the holding arm 8 can be pivoted to respective different positions fro
