DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a fishing device comprising a rod with a coiling or spinning reel and with a guide extending along the rod, and a driving slide guided by the guide, for carrying along a lure on a line running out from the coiling or spinning reel, and projecting means with a rubber cord secured to the driving slide, said cord being stretched between the driving slide and a point spaced in front of the rear end of the guide, when the driving slide is displaced to the rear end of the guide where the driving slide can be arrested by holding means, for chocklike displacement of the driving slide by means of the stretched rubber cord from the rear end of the guide towards said point when the driving slide is released from the holding means, the lure being projected and the line being withdrawn from the coiling or spinning reel.
A fishing device of this type is described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,849,824.
The purpose of the invention is to develop further and improve the fishing device described therein to provide a fishing device of the kind referred to, which has projecting means more effective considering the size thereof, which can be integrated easily with the bar proper in a slender embodiment so that the fishing device generally has the appearance of a conventional casting or spinning rod and can be handled as such a rod, the fishing device of the invention also being well suited for power drive with regard to the operation of the coiling or spinning reel and also with regard to the operation of the projecting means.
For said object the fishing device of the invention has obtained the characteristics appearing from claim 1, and in order to explain more clearly the invention this will be described in more detail below, reference being made to the accompanying drawings showing a fishing device of the invention, comprising two main portions, wherein
FIG. 1 is an axial sectional view of one portion comprising the bar proper and the projecting means,
FIG. 2 is a half side view and a half axial sectional view of the other portion comprising a handle and a coiling reel with power drive,
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line III--III in FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary axial sectional view, partly a side view, of a modified embodiment of an operating device for the projecting means,
FIG. 5 is a side view of the front end portion of the fishing device showing some important improvements of the basic concept,
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary side view of the front end portion of the device shown in FIG. 5 with elements of the device in other operative positions,
FIG. 7 is a side view of the carriage of the device shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 with a U-shaped wire bow pivotally mounted thereon, shown in different positions, and
FIG. 8 is a plan view of the carriage shown in FIG. 7.
The two main portions of the fishing device of the invention, shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, respectively, are to be interconnected axially aligned in the complete fishing device as will be described later on. One main portion shown in FIG. 1 and also in FIG. 3 will first be described in detail.
The main portion of FIGS. 1 and 3 comprises a tubular rod 10 which is supported by means of a heavy spring 11 on a spring housing 12 forming part of the projecting means. The rod can have substantially the same length as a conventional casting or spinning rod and can yield elastically when loaded due to the elastic support. At the free end thereof the rod is closed by a plug 13 receiving a helical spring 14 for an abutment 15 which is displaceable axially. At the rear end, the tubular rod connects to a guide or socket 16 having substantially the same outer and inner diameters as the rod, and this socket is connected on top of the spring housing 12 axially aligned with the rod. At the ends of the rod and the socket, facing each other, there is an inner chamfer 17 and 18, respectively, and these ends are somewhat spaced to allow elastic deflection of the rod in relation to the socket. A longitudinal slot 19 on top of the socket 16 connects to a
