Definitions
- Odorous artificial fishing lure, odorous cartridge and composition Odorous artificial fishing lure, odorous cartridge and composition
- the present invention relates to the technical sector of artificial fishing lures, in particular for sport fishing, which imitate the swimming of fish.
- lures Most techniques for catching fish use bait or lures.
- the type of lure or bait used depends on the fish you want to catch, and therefore the type of fishing.
- the bait can be natural, such as worms, insects, or fish, shrimp, depending on the species sought. These baits are rather suitable for static fishing.
- lures to date are the lifeguards.
- Such lures are rigid, colorful, and have a shape designed to reproduce in the water the swimming of prey fish, that is to say fish hunted by so-called carnivorous fish that one wishes to catch.
- These lures which incorporate hooks and are attached directly to the line, are the most sought after for sport fishing such as trolling or casting, because of their effectiveness.
- Artificial lures use two of the fish's senses, namely sight and hearing.
- the sight is of course stimulated by the appearance, the colors, the reflections, the general movement which most effectively imitates the swimming of the fish-prey; while hearing is stimulated by the vibrations in the water caused by the movements of the lure, which sometimes also contains a ball or other equivalent device.
- Natural or synthetic products such as primers, oils or attractants, can be used for static fishing (carp fishing, etc.).
- the substance is incorporated into a polymer material and the assembly is designed for a gradual release of the substance.
- the impregnated polymer is directly shaped into a bait to be directly attached to the hook (col. 5 line 49 ff).
- Patent USP 4,463,018 offers comparable teaching, cf. col 2 line 57 ff.
- the substance covers the lure, resulting in delicate handling, and a relatively weak and decreasing olfactory effect since the substance is mainly released from the start of use.
- the visual qualities of the lure are greatly diminished, since the colors and reflections are masked by the substance.
- patent USP 2,674,058 (1953) which describes the placing of the odorous product, preferably a liquid, in a cartridge. During installation, the cartridge is perforated and the liquid may exude out of the bait when traveling in the water. This patent does not address the problem of reproducing the movement of a live bait during the use of the lure.
- certain drawbacks linked to the use of odorous substance persist, in particular problem of handling the cartridge once pierced, non-reuse of the started cartridge, problem of the regular and constant release of the substance, direct contact between fisherman and substance fragrant.
- none of the artificial lures known so far has simultaneously the two qualities sought for optimal effectiveness, namely the imitation of the swimming of the fish-prey and the odorous dimension. They have either imitation properties of the shape, appearance and swimming of the prey, or odorous properties, which are however imperfect for sport fishing in particular because of their rapid decrease in time.
- the odorous characteristics are added to the detriment of the swimming properties: during the diffusion of the active product, the center of gravity of the lure changes and with it the movement of the lure, which movement becomes very quickly unrealistic and loses all effectiveness.
- the swimming properties are the result of a subtle mixture between a static behavior, that is to say the buoyancy of the lure (distribution of the masses, position center of gravity, etc.), and its behavior in movement , which depends on its profile or ergonomics, the position of the flap, the position of the pull point, etc.
- the combination of these various elements determines the characteristics of the lure's swimming. These characteristics must be preserved despite the presence of an odorous cartridge, as and when it is used. It is this problem which the invention solves.
- the invention provides an artificial lure of a new generation, effectively combining, for the duration of the fishing, an effect imitating the movement of a live bait and a regular odorous effect.
- the invention therefore applies very particularly to sport fishing, such as trolling or casting, in fresh or salt water, for which specialists seek the most effective lures possible.
- an artificial fishing lure is used, of the type imitating the swimming of a fish, and containing an odorous composition whose density is equal, or very substantially equal, to that of the water considered for the place of fishing, in such a way that when the water gradually replaces the odorous substance, the center of gravity of the lure is not, or not appreciably, altered and therefore that the movement of the lure is not, or not appreciably, modified.
- the invention therefore relates to an artificial fishing lure, of the type imitating the natural movement of the bait in the natural environment, characterized in that it comprises an odorous composition comprising an odorous agent or a mixture of agents odorants dispersible in water, and having a density equal to, or very substantially equal to, that of the water considered for the fishing site, and means for progressively releasing said agent or said odorants in water during fishing.
- the invention also relates to the removable reusable cartridge through which the odorous composition is placed in the lure.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an odorous composition much more concentrated in odorous agents than the substances currently used, and which moreover allows a controlled, regular and constant release over time.
- FIG. 1 and 6 represent odorous artificial lures according to the invention, of different shapes
- FIG. 2 represents a view in longitudinal section of an odorous artificial lure according to the invention
- FIG. 3 represents a view in longitudinal section of the lure of FIG. 1, without its cartridge
- FIG. 4 represents an odorous cartridge according to the invention, in longitudinal section
- FIG. 5 shows the cartridge of Figure 4, in cross section along the axis a-a.
- the lure according to the invention comprises a body (1) affecting the shape and the colors of a fish usable as bait for the species considered. Due to its general shape and the presence of protrusions, in particular a flap (4), the lure obtained is capable of reproducing as faithfully as possible the natural movement or swimming of a living fish.
- the body (1) is made of any material known in this industry, such as a plastic material painted or colored in the mass, etc. preferably rigid so that it is solid.
- It also comprises, according to usual practice, at least one fixing means (2) of at least one single or multiple hook (not shown), as well as a fixing means (3) to the line.
- Figure 2 shows a lure according to the invention in longitudinal section.
- the body comprises a cavity (7) which has at the front at least one water inlet opening (10) through which the removable cartridge (6) is introduced which completes the body (1) to form the lure.
- This cavity has on the other side at least one opening (8) for water outlet, for example under the lure, that is to say at the level of the anus of a living fish.
- the lure is therefore crossed by a flow of water circulating as indicated by the arrows.
- the front opening (10) is preferably located in the hollow of the flap (that is to say substantially at the level of the mouth of a fish), so as to take advantage of the funnel effect caused by said flap during movement and therefore to maximize the pressure of the water passing through the lure.
- the means of attachment to the line (3) can be located at the head, below the cartridge. It can also be located above the cartridge inlet ( Figure 1) or at the flap ( Figure 6).
- the means of attachment (5) of this cartridge to the lure has a hollowed out space in its front part, for example at the bar (5) (hence an asymmetry), in order to allow the insertion of the cartridge into the lure despite the presence of this means (3) (Cf. Figure 5).
- the position of the means for fixing the lure to the line (3) is chosen so as to obtain, in combination with the shape of the body of the lure (inter alia the shape of the flap) an appropriate stroke.
- the cavity (7) is wider than the cartridge over a part of its length, preferably at the slots (9) of the cartridge which will be described below.
- a space is created around the cartridge facilitating the flow of water and therefore the release of the odorous agent or agent (s).
- the cartridge (6) can have any section of any shape, for example square, rectangular, or even elliptical or circular.
- Figure 5 shows a cartridge of substantially rectangular section.
- the cartridge itself is made of a material which is either permeable to water and to the odorous agent (s), for example microporous, semi-porous, porous, or a rigid material for example plastic, having perforations, for example slots (9), micro-perforations or other orifices, at its front end and over at least part and preferably its entire surface, so as to allow the flow of water to enter the lure at the opening (10), to pass through the cartridge (6) and to come out of the lure at the opening (8) loaded with the desired dose of the scenting agent or agents (s).
- the lure will let escape behind him an odorous cloud whose attractive effect will be combined with the visual effect and vibrations caused elsewhere by the same lure.
- the cartridge will be perforated or possibly permeable at its front end and over at least part of its surface, while retaining a non-permeable or non-perforated area allowing manipulation by the fisherman without contact between fisherman and odorant (s).
- the two ends of the cartridge will be permeable or perforated, for example by providing braces or a mesh, in order to allow the maximum flow of water.
- the cartridge is as "ventilated” or open as possible, while allowing the odorant to be kept inside.
- the cartridge (6) will be made of rigid plastic and will include an inlet opening and slots (9) along its length, allowing the flow of water, as can be seen in Figures 2 and 5.
- the cartridge (6) is introduced into the cavity (7) of the lure, and is removably fixed by any suitable fixing means, for example by snap-fastening, or by means of a bar (5) fixed integrally to the body of the cartridge and coming to be inserted temporarily in an appropriate space of the body of the lure.
- any suitable fixing means for example by snap-fastening, or by means of a bar (5) fixed integrally to the body of the cartridge and coming to be inserted temporarily in an appropriate space of the body of the lure.
- the advantage of such a fixing means complementing the body of the cartridge is that the handling of the cartridge can also be done by means of this fixing means. Thus, the fisherman will no longer have any contact with the body of the cartridge, which can therefore be completely perforated or permeable without the need to keep a handling area.
- the cartridges shown in Figures 2 and 5 have two longitudinal slots (9), but one could consider more than 2 slots.
- the cartridge is filled, according to the invention, with an odorous composition which comprises at least one dispersible odorous agent (s), for example soluble (s), in water and whose density is equal, or very substantially equal, to that of the water considered for the fishing location.
- s dispersible odorous agent
- s for example soluble
- the cartridge will be translucent or transparent, so as to allow direct visual control of the state of wear of the odorous substance.
- the fragrance agent (s) are associated with a matrix (excipients, additives) which makes it possible to put them in a form acceptable for the intended use and to release them in water at a concentration determined.
- a matrix excipients, additives
- the odorant composition itself can be liquid, in the form of a gel, or even pasty or solid. It is the solid form which is preferred, for various reasons explained below. Such solids are, for example, beads, microbeads, beads, granules, sticks, single stick filling the cartridge or, preferably, tablets.
- An advantage of using a scent composition in solid form is that when the lure is taken out of the water, there is no flow, the drying is rapid, and the scent composition retains its properties for use. later before, during or after the short drying phase. A started cartridge is therefore reusable and its handling is easy.
- Another advantage is that the release of the odorous agent or agents can be done by erosion, that is to say destruction of the matrix. The wear of the cartridge can therefore be viewed.
- scenting agent (s) used here are those present in the products commonly used in industry, such as for example amino acids, nucleotides, quaternary amines, guanidic compounds, and mixtures thereof.
- the Applicant then turned to amino acids and other odorous agents as chemical molecules, and used the techniques of galenic pharmacy to shape the molecules at a higher concentration than that of the prior art, and for control their release over time.
- the fragrant composition according to the invention therefore comprises at least 20% by weight of amino acids, preferably at least 50% by weight, more preferably at least 70% by weight, and excipients and additives suitable for shaping the composition and regular and controlled distribution of amino acids.
- the composition will be shaped in the form of solids, preferably in the form of tablets.
- the dispersion or diffusion of the odorous agent or agent (s) in the water is therefore effected by erosion of the matrix by the flow of water, which releases regularly and in significant concentrations. and determined the odorant (s). It is therefore an "active" diffusion, that is to say a diffusion occurring when there is a flow of water passing through the lure.
- the matrix comprising excipients and possibly additives, makes it possible to present the odorant (s) in the appropriate form and to control their release so that this release is constant for a given time.
- excipients and additives used in the composition according to the invention are those used in galenics. Those skilled in the art will be able to determine the appropriate excipients to obtain the desired olfactory effect.
- the same lure can therefore be used to successively contain several cartridges containing different odorous agents, each of which can be used entirely or partially.
- the lure retains its properties of imitation of the swimming of a living fish, since the odorous substance will present a density equal, or very substantially equal, to that of the water considered for the fishing place. Thus, during use, the space freed by erosion will fill with water, and the center of gravity of the lure will be little, or not, displaced. The lure will therefore retain all of its buoyancy and swimming properties.
- the fishing waters are fresh or slightly salty waters, and therefore have densities equal to or substantially equal to 1.
- the odoriferous substance may be different and of appropriate density.
- the invention also relates to cartridges as described above.
- the invention relates to a removable and reusable cartridge (6) characterized in that it contains an odorous composition comprising an agent, or a mixture of agents, odorous, having an equal or very substantially equal density , to that of water considered for the fishing place and releasing the odorous agent (s) in the water in constant quantities for a given time.
- Said cartridge is either permeable or perforated (9), at its front end and on at least part of its surface.
- This cartridge comprises a removable fixing means to the body of the lure into which it is inserted, for example snap-fastening, or by means of a bar (5) fixed integrally to the body of the cartridge and coming to be inserted from temporarily in an appropriate space of the lure body.
- the odor composition is preferably solid, more preferably in the form of tablets. It comprises an agent or mixture of suitable odorant (s), such as for example amino acids, nucleotides, quaternary amines, guanidic compounds, and mixtures thereof. It further comprises a matrix (excipients, additives) allowing the shaping of the odorous agent (s) and its / their controlled release in contact with water, preferably by erosion.
- suitable odorant such as for example amino acids, nucleotides, quaternary amines, guanidic compounds, and mixtures thereof.

Description
Leurre de pêche artificiel odorant, cartouche et composition odorantes Odorous artificial fishing lure, odorous cartridge and composition
La présente invention concerne le secteur technique des leurres de pêche artificiels, notamment pour la pêche sportive, qui imitent la nage des poissons.The present invention relates to the technical sector of artificial fishing lures, in particular for sport fishing, which imitate the swimming of fish.
La plupart des techniques pour prendre des poissons utilisent des appâts ou des leurres. Le type de leurre ou d'appât utilisé dépend des poissons que l'on veut attraper, donc du type de pêche.Most techniques for catching fish use bait or lures. The type of lure or bait used depends on the fish you want to catch, and therefore the type of fishing.
Les appâts peuvent être naturels, comme des vers, insectes, ou poissons, crevettes, selon l'espèce convoitée. Ces appâts sont plutôt adaptés à une pêche statique.The bait can be natural, such as worms, insects, or fish, shrimp, depending on the species sought. These baits are rather suitable for static fishing.
On peut également utiliser des leurres artificiels qui attirent le poisson notamment par un effet de similitude visuelle et qui sont utilisés pour la pêche non-statique comme la pêche au lancer ou à la traîne, que ce soit en eau douce ou eau salée. Les leurres artificiels peuvent être classés en trois groupes.One can also use artificial lures which attract fish in particular by an effect of visual similarity and which are used for non-static fishing like fishing with casting or trolling, whether in fresh or salt water. Artificial lures can be classified into three groups.
En premier lieu, on trouve les cuillers, qui attirent le poisson principalement par leur aspect visuel (couleurs, reflets,...). En raison de leur forme en cuiller, c'est-à-dire plus ou moins ovale et incurvée, elles se mettent nécessairement en rotation lorsqu'elles sont en mouvement dans l'eau, et provoquent donc des vibrations ; mais ce mouvement n'imite en aucune façon le mouvement d'un poisson.First, there are the spoons, which attract the fish mainly by their visual appearance (colors, reflections, ...). Because of their spoon shape, that is to say more or less oval and curved, they necessarily rotate when they are moving in water, and therefore cause vibrations; but this movement in no way imitates the movement of a fish.
En second lieu, on trouve les leurres souples, appelés ainsi en raison de leur matériau en plastique mou. Ces leurres sont fixés sur un hameçon déjà présent sur la ligne et provoquent des vibrations, en raison du mouvement provoqué par la pression de l'eau sur le plastique souple lors du déplacement. Ces mouvements sont anarchiques, et n'imitent pas non plus la nage d'un poisson. De plus, de tels leurres sont
fragiles (morsures des poissons,...) et ne sont donc pas durables. Ils deviennent inefficaces au bout de quelques utilisations.Second, there are soft lures, so called because of their soft plastic material. These lures are fixed on a hook already present on the line and cause vibrations, due to the movement caused by the pressure of the water on the flexible plastic during movement. These movements are anarchic, nor do they imitate the swimming of a fish. In addition, such lures are fragile (fish bites, ...) and are therefore not durable. They become ineffective after a few uses.
Enfin, les leurres les plus sophistiqués et les plus efficaces jusqu'à ce jour sont les poisson-nageurs. De tels leurres sont rigides, colorés, et présentent une forme étudiée pour reproduire dans l'eau la nage des poissons-proie, c'est-à-dire des poissons chassés par les poissons dits carnassiers que l'on souhaite attraper. Ces leurres, qui incorporent des hameçons et qui sont fixés directement à la ligne, sont les plus recherchés pour la pêche sportive comme la pêche à la traîne ou au lancer, en raison de leur efficacité.Finally, the most sophisticated and effective lures to date are the lifeguards. Such lures are rigid, colorful, and have a shape designed to reproduce in the water the swimming of prey fish, that is to say fish hunted by so-called carnivorous fish that one wishes to catch. These lures, which incorporate hooks and are attached directly to the line, are the most sought after for sport fishing such as trolling or casting, because of their effectiveness.
Les leurres artificiels utilisent deux des sens des poissons, à savoir la vue et l'ouïe. La vue est bien sûr stimulée par l'apparence, les couleurs, les reflets, le mouvement général qui de façon la plus efficace imite la nage du poisson-proie ; alors que l'ouïe est stimulée par les vibrations dans l'eau provoquées par les mouvements du leurre, qui contient parfois en plus une bille ou autre dispositif équivalent.Artificial lures use two of the fish's senses, namely sight and hearing. The sight is of course stimulated by the appearance, the colors, the reflections, the general movement which most effectively imitates the swimming of the fish-prey; while hearing is stimulated by the vibrations in the water caused by the movements of the lure, which sometimes also contains a ball or other equivalent device.
On s'est également intéressé à l'odorat des poissons. On connaît des leurres ou appâts qui comportent une substance attractive à effet olfactif. L'effet olfactif imite ou reproduit en général celui des substances olfactives émises par les proies vivantes ou mortes, poissons, déchets de poisson, viande, crevettes ou crustacés etc dont se nourrissent les espèces convoitées.We also looked at the smell of fish. Lures or baits are known which contain an attractive substance with an olfactory effect. The olfactory effect generally imitates or reproduces that of the olfactory substances emitted by living or dead prey, fish, fish waste, meat, shrimp or crustaceans etc. on which the coveted species feed.
Des produits naturels ou synthétiques, de type amorces, huiles ou attractants, peuvent être utilisés pour la pêche statique (pêche à la carpe,...).Natural or synthetic products, such as primers, oils or attractants, can be used for static fishing (carp fishing, etc.).
De tels produits odorants ne sont pas adaptés pour la pêche non- statique. De nombreuses tentatives, objets de nombreux brevets, ont été faites pour ajouter aux leurres artificiels, notamment leurres souples et poissons nageurs, une dimension odorante.Such odorous products are not suitable for non-static fishing. Numerous attempts, the subject of numerous patents, have been made to add to the artificial lures, in particular soft lures and swimming fish, an odorous dimension.
On citera ici à cet effet le brevet USP 4,731 ,247 qui cite lui-mêmeFor this purpose, USP 4,731,247 will be cited, which itself cites

(1977) cf. colonne 6. Selon ce brevet, la substance est incorporée dans un matériau polymère et l'ensemble est conçu pour une libération progressive de la substance. Le polymère imprégné est directement mis en forme d'appât pour être directement fixé sur l'hameçon (col. 5 ligne 49 ff).(1977) cf. column 6. According to this patent, the substance is incorporated into a polymer material and the assembly is designed for a gradual release of the substance. The impregnated polymer is directly shaped into a bait to be directly attached to the hook (col. 5 line 49 ff).
On connaît encore le brevet USP 4,245,420 (Carr) dont l'enseignement est semblable.The patent USP 4,245,420 (Carr) is also known, the teaching of which is similar.
Dans ces deux cas, il s'agit de leurres souples, donc fragiles, qui n'imitent pas la nage des poissons-proie. De plus, la dispersion d'odeur est irrégulière et limitée dans le temps. Ce dernier point n'est ici pas un problème puisque de toutes façons le leurre lui-même a une utilisation limitée dans le temps en raison de sa fragilité. Le caractère intrinsèque au leurre de la substance odorante interdit tout rechargement lorsque l'odeur a disparue.In these two cases, they are flexible lures, therefore fragile, which do not imitate the swimming of prey fish. In addition, the odor dispersion is irregular and limited in time. This last point is not a problem here since anyway the lure itself has a limited use in time because of its fragility. The intrinsic nature of the odorous substance lures prohibits any refilling when the odor has disappeared.
Selon le brevet USP 4,826,691 , on forme une composition attractive odorante que l'on applique en couche gélatineuse sur la surface de l'appât habituel qui peut être un leurre souple ou un poisson- nageur. Outre l'effet odorant, ce brevet indique que la texture résultante reproduit la texture naturelle de certains poissons, col. 3 ligne 44 ff.According to patent USP 4,826,691, an odorous attractive composition is formed which is applied in a gelatinous layer to the surface of the usual bait which can be a soft lure or a lifeguard. In addition to the odorous effect, this patent indicates that the resulting texture reproduces the natural texture of certain fish, col. 3 line 44 ff.
Le brevet USP 4,463,018 propose un enseignement comparable, cf. col 2 ligne 57 ff.Patent USP 4,463,018 offers comparable teaching, cf. col 2 line 57 ff.
Dans ce cas, la substance recouvre le leurre, d'où une manipulation délicate, et un effet olfactif relativement faible et décroissant puisque la substance est principalement libérée dès le début de l'utilisation. De plus, les qualités visuelles du leurre sont largement diminuées, puisque les couleurs et reflets sont masqués par la substance.In this case, the substance covers the lure, resulting in delicate handling, and a relatively weak and decreasing olfactory effect since the substance is mainly released from the start of use. In addition, the visual qualities of the lure are greatly diminished, since the colors and reflections are masked by the substance.
On connaît enfin le brevet USP 2,674,058 (1953) qui décrit la mise du produit odorant, de préférence un liquide, dans une cartouche. Lors de la mise en place, la cartouche est perforée et le liquide peut exsuder
hors de l'appât lors du trajet dans l'eau. Ce brevet n'aborde pas le problème de la reproduction du mouvement d'un appât vivant au cours de l'utilisation du leurre. Par ailleurs, certains inconvénients liés à l'utilisation de substance odorante persistent, notamment problème de manipulation de la cartouche une fois percée, non réutilisation de la cartouche entamée, problème de la libération régulière et constante de la substance, contact direct entre pêcheur et substance odorante.Finally, patent USP 2,674,058 (1953) is known which describes the placing of the odorous product, preferably a liquid, in a cartridge. During installation, the cartridge is perforated and the liquid may exude out of the bait when traveling in the water. This patent does not address the problem of reproducing the movement of a live bait during the use of the lure. In addition, certain drawbacks linked to the use of odorous substance persist, in particular problem of handling the cartridge once pierced, non-reuse of the started cartridge, problem of the regular and constant release of the substance, direct contact between fisherman and substance fragrant.
C'est également le cas des autres brevets précités qui décrivent des leurres qui, au mieux, imitent la forme d'un poisson, mais n'abordent pas le problème de leur mouvement.This is also the case of the other aforementioned patents which describe lures which, at best, imitate the shape of a fish, but do not address the problem of their movement.
Ainsi, aucun des leurres artificiels connus jusqu'ici ne présente simultanément les deux qualités recherchées pour une efficacité optimale, à savoir l'imitation de la nage du poisson-proie et la dimension odorante. Ils présentent soit des propriétés d'imitation de la forme, apparence et nage de la proie, soit des propriétés odorantes, qui sont cependant imparfaites pour la pêche sportive notamment en raison de leur diminution rapide dans le temps. De plus, les caractéristiques odorantes sont ajoutées au détriment des propriétés de nage : lors de la diffusion du produit actif, le centre de gravité du leurre se modifie et avec lui le mouvement du leurre, lequel mouvement devient très rapidement irréaliste et perd toute efficacité.Thus, none of the artificial lures known so far has simultaneously the two qualities sought for optimal effectiveness, namely the imitation of the swimming of the fish-prey and the odorous dimension. They have either imitation properties of the shape, appearance and swimming of the prey, or odorous properties, which are however imperfect for sport fishing in particular because of their rapid decrease in time. In addition, the odorous characteristics are added to the detriment of the swimming properties: during the diffusion of the active product, the center of gravity of the lure changes and with it the movement of the lure, which movement becomes very quickly unrealistic and loses all effectiveness.
En effet, les propriétés de nage sont le résultat d'un mélange subtil entre un comportement statique, c'est-à-dire la flottabilité du leurre (répartition des masses, position centre de gravité, etc.), et son comportement en mouvement, qui dépend de son profil ou ergonomie, de la position de la bavette, de la position du point de traction, etc... La combinaison de ces divers éléments déterminent les caractéristiques de la nage du leurre. Ces caractéristiques doivent être conservées en dépit de la présence d'une cartouche odorante, au fur et à mesure de son utilisation. C'est ce problème que résoud l'invention.Indeed, the swimming properties are the result of a subtle mixture between a static behavior, that is to say the buoyancy of the lure (distribution of the masses, position center of gravity, etc.), and its behavior in movement , which depends on its profile or ergonomics, the position of the flap, the position of the pull point, etc. The combination of these various elements determines the characteristics of the lure's swimming. These characteristics must be preserved despite the presence of an odorous cartridge, as and when it is used. It is this problem which the invention solves.
L'invention propose un leurre artificiel d'une nouvelle génération, combinant efficacement, pour toute la durée de la pêche, un effet d'imitation du mouvement d'un appât vivant et un effet odorant régulier.
L'invention s'applique donc tout particulièrement à la pêche sportive, comme la pêche à la traîne ou au lancer, en eau douce ou eau salée, pour laquelle les spécialistes recherchent des leurres les plus efficaces possibles.The invention provides an artificial lure of a new generation, effectively combining, for the duration of the fishing, an effect imitating the movement of a live bait and a regular odorous effect. The invention therefore applies very particularly to sport fishing, such as trolling or casting, in fresh or salt water, for which specialists seek the most effective lures possible.
Selon l'invention, on utilise un leurre de pêche artificiel, du type imitant la nage d'un poisson, et contenant une composition odorante dont la densité est égale, ou très sensiblement égale, à celle de l'eau considérée pour le lieu de pêche, de telle façon que lorsque l'eau remplace progressivement la substance odorante, le centre de gravité du leurre ne soit pas, ou pas sensiblement, altéré et donc que le mouvement du leurre ne soit pas, ou pas sensiblement, modifié.According to the invention, an artificial fishing lure is used, of the type imitating the swimming of a fish, and containing an odorous composition whose density is equal, or very substantially equal, to that of the water considered for the place of fishing, in such a way that when the water gradually replaces the odorous substance, the center of gravity of the lure is not, or not appreciably, altered and therefore that the movement of the lure is not, or not appreciably, modified.
De manière générale, l'invention concerne donc un leurre de pêche artificiel, du type imitant le mouvement naturel de l'appât dans le milieu naturel, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une composition odorante comportant un agent odorant ou un mélange d'agents odorants dispersible dans l'eau, et présentant une densité égale, ou très sensiblement égale, à celle de l'eau considérée pour le lieu de pêche, et des moyens pour libérer progressivement ledit agent ou lesdits agents odorant(s) dans l'eau durant la pêche.In general, the invention therefore relates to an artificial fishing lure, of the type imitating the natural movement of the bait in the natural environment, characterized in that it comprises an odorous composition comprising an odorous agent or a mixture of agents odorants dispersible in water, and having a density equal to, or very substantially equal to, that of the water considered for the fishing site, and means for progressively releasing said agent or said odorants in water during fishing.
L'invention concerne également la cartouche amovible réutilisable par l'intermédiaire de laquelle la composition odorante est placée dans le leurre.The invention also relates to the removable reusable cartridge through which the odorous composition is placed in the lure.
Un autre objet de l'invention est de proposer une composition odorante beaucoup plus concentrée en agents odorants que les substances actuellement utilisées, et qui de surcroît permet une libération contrôlée, régulière et constante au cours du temps.Another object of the invention is to provide an odorous composition much more concentrated in odorous agents than the substances currently used, and which moreover allows a controlled, regular and constant release over time.
D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention seront mieux comprises à la lecture de la description qui va suivre et en se référant aux figures annexées, dans lesquelles : - Les figure 1 et 6 représentent des leurres artificiels odorants selon l'invention, de formes différentes,
- La figure 2 représente une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un leurre artificiel odorant selon l'invention,Other characteristics of the invention will be better understood on reading the description which will follow and with reference to the appended figures, in which: - Figures 1 and 6 represent odorous artificial lures according to the invention, of different shapes , FIG. 2 represents a view in longitudinal section of an odorous artificial lure according to the invention,
- La figure 3 représente une vue en coupe longitudinale du leurre de la figure 1 , sans sa cartouche, - La figure 4 représente une cartouche odorante selon l'invention, en coupe longitudinale,FIG. 3 represents a view in longitudinal section of the lure of FIG. 1, without its cartridge, - FIG. 4 represents an odorous cartridge according to the invention, in longitudinal section,
- La figure 5 représente la cartouche de la figure 4, en coupe transversale selon l'axe a-a.- Figure 5 shows the cartridge of Figure 4, in cross section along the axis a-a.
En référence à la figure 1 , le leurre selon l'invention comprend un corps (1) affectant la forme et les coloris d'un poisson utilisable comme appât pour l'espèce considérée. De par sa forme générale et la présence de protubérances, notamment une bavette (4), le leurre obtenu est capable de reproduire le plus fidèlement possible le mouvement naturel ou nage d'un poisson vivant. Le corps (1) est en un quelconque matériau connu dans cette industrie, comme une matière plastique peinte ou colorée dans la masse, etc de préférence rigide afin qu'il soit solide.Referring to Figure 1, the lure according to the invention comprises a body (1) affecting the shape and the colors of a fish usable as bait for the species considered. Due to its general shape and the presence of protrusions, in particular a flap (4), the lure obtained is capable of reproducing as faithfully as possible the natural movement or swimming of a living fish. The body (1) is made of any material known in this industry, such as a plastic material painted or colored in the mass, etc. preferably rigid so that it is solid.
Il comprend également, selon la pratique habituelle, au moins un moyen de fixation (2) d'au moins un hameçon simple ou multiple (non représenté), ainsi qu'un moyen de fixation (3) à la ligne.It also comprises, according to usual practice, at least one fixing means (2) of at least one single or multiple hook (not shown), as well as a fixing means (3) to the line.
La figure 2 représente un leurre selon l'invention en coupe longitudinale. Le corps comporte une cavité (7) qui présente à l'avant au moins une ouverture (10) d'entrée d'eau par laquelle on introduit la cartouche amovible (6) qui vient compléter le corps (1) pour former le leurre. Cette cavité comporte de l'autre côté au moins une ouverture (8) de sortie d'eau, par exemple sous le leurre c'est-à-dire au niveau de l'anus d'un poisson vivant. Le leurre est donc traversé par un flux d'eau circulant comme indiqué par les flèches.Figure 2 shows a lure according to the invention in longitudinal section. The body comprises a cavity (7) which has at the front at least one water inlet opening (10) through which the removable cartridge (6) is introduced which completes the body (1) to form the lure. This cavity has on the other side at least one opening (8) for water outlet, for example under the lure, that is to say at the level of the anus of a living fish. The lure is therefore crossed by a flow of water circulating as indicated by the arrows.
L'ouverture avant (10) se trouve préférentiellement dans le creux de la bavette (c'est-à-dire sensiblement au niveau de la bouche d'un poisson), de façon à profiter de l'effet entonnoir provoqué par ladite
bavette lors du déplacement et donc à maximiser la pression de l'eau traversant le leurre.The front opening (10) is preferably located in the hollow of the flap (that is to say substantially at the level of the mouth of a fish), so as to take advantage of the funnel effect caused by said flap during movement and therefore to maximize the pressure of the water passing through the lure.
Le moyen de fixation à la ligne (3) peut se trouver au niveau de la tête, au-dessous de la cartouche. Il peut également se trouver au-dessus de l'entrée de la cartouche (Figure 1) ou au niveau de la bavette (Figure 6). Lorsque le moyen de fixation à la ligne (3) est situé au- dessus de l'entrée de la cartouche, le moyen de fixation (5) de cette cartouche au leurre comporte un espace creusé dans sa partie avant, par exemple au niveau de la barette (5) (d'où une dissymétrie), afin de permettre l'insertion de la cartouche dans le leurre malgré la présence de ce moyen (3) (Cf. Figure 5).The means of attachment to the line (3) can be located at the head, below the cartridge. It can also be located above the cartridge inlet (Figure 1) or at the flap (Figure 6). When the means of attachment to the line (3) is located above the inlet of the cartridge, the means of attachment (5) of this cartridge to the lure has a hollowed out space in its front part, for example at the bar (5) (hence an asymmetry), in order to allow the insertion of the cartridge into the lure despite the presence of this means (3) (Cf. Figure 5).
D'une façon générale, la position du moyen de fixation du leurre à la ligne (3) est choisi de façon à obtenir, en combinaison avec la forme du corps du leurre (entre autre la forme de la bavette) une nage appropriée.In general, the position of the means for fixing the lure to the line (3) is chosen so as to obtain, in combination with the shape of the body of the lure (inter alia the shape of the flap) an appropriate stroke.
De façon préférée, la cavité (7) est plus large que la cartouche sur une partie de sa longueur, de préférence au niveau des fentes (9) de la cartouche qui sera décrite plus bas. Ainsi, on crée un espace autour de la cartouche facilitant le flux d'eau et donc la libération de l'agent ou agent(s) odorant(s).Preferably, the cavity (7) is wider than the cartridge over a part of its length, preferably at the slots (9) of the cartridge which will be described below. Thus, a space is created around the cartridge facilitating the flow of water and therefore the release of the odorous agent or agent (s).
Afin d'obtenir un leurre décrivant une nage appropriée, c'est-à- dire reproduisant la nage d'un poisson vivant, il est souvent nécessaire de prévoir des chambres de flottaison (11), c'est-à-dire des zones creuses dans le corps (1) du leurre, afin d'obtenir une répartition des masses appropriée.In order to obtain a decoy describing an appropriate swim, that is to say reproducing the swim of a live fish, it is often necessary to provide flotation chambers (11), that is to say zones hollow in the body (1) of the lure, in order to obtain an appropriate weight distribution.
La cartouche (6) peut avoir une section de forme quelconque, par exemple carrée, rectangulaire, ou encore en ellipse ou circulaire. La figure 5 montre une cartouche de section sensiblement rectangulaire.The cartridge (6) can have any section of any shape, for example square, rectangular, or even elliptical or circular. Figure 5 shows a cartridge of substantially rectangular section.
La cartouche elle-même est constituée d'un matériau soit perméable à l'eau et à l'agent ou aux agents odorant(s), par exemple microporeux, semi-poreux, poreux, soit d'un matériau rigide par exemple
le plastique, présentant des perforations, par exemple des fentes (9), micro-perforations ou autres orifices, au niveau de son extrémité avant et sur au moins une partie et de préférence toute sa surface, de façon à permettre au flux de l'eau d'entrer dans le leurre au niveau de l'ouverture (10), de traverser la cartouche (6) et de ressortir du leurre au niveau de l'ouverture (8) chargé de la dose souhaitée de l'agent ou agents odorant(s). Ainsi le leurre laissera s'échapper derrière lui un nuage odorant dont l'effet attractif se combinera à l'effet visuel et aux vibrations provoqués par ailleurs par le même leurre.The cartridge itself is made of a material which is either permeable to water and to the odorous agent (s), for example microporous, semi-porous, porous, or a rigid material for example plastic, having perforations, for example slots (9), micro-perforations or other orifices, at its front end and over at least part and preferably its entire surface, so as to allow the flow of water to enter the lure at the opening (10), to pass through the cartridge (6) and to come out of the lure at the opening (8) loaded with the desired dose of the scenting agent or agents (s). Thus the lure will let escape behind him an odorous cloud whose attractive effect will be combined with the visual effect and vibrations caused elsewhere by the same lure.
De préférence, la cartouche sera perforée ou éventuellement perméable au niveau de son extrémité avant et sur au moins une partie de sa surface, tout en conservant une zone non perméable ou non perforée permettant la manipulation par le pêcheur sans qu'il y ait contact entre pêcheur et agent(s) odorant(s). Les deux extrémités de la cartouche seront perméables ou perforées, par exemple en prévoyant des croisillons ou un grillage, afin de permettre l'écoulement maximum de l'eau. Ainsi, la cartouche est-elle aussi « aérée » ou ouverte que possible, tout en permettant le maintien de la substance odorante à l'intérieur.Preferably, the cartridge will be perforated or possibly permeable at its front end and over at least part of its surface, while retaining a non-permeable or non-perforated area allowing manipulation by the fisherman without contact between fisherman and odorant (s). The two ends of the cartridge will be permeable or perforated, for example by providing braces or a mesh, in order to allow the maximum flow of water. Thus, the cartridge is as "ventilated" or open as possible, while allowing the odorant to be kept inside.
Dans un mode de réalisation préférée, la cartouche (6) sera en plastique rigide et comprendra une ouverture d'entrée et des fentes (9) sur sa longueur, permettant l'écoulement de l'eau, comme on peut le voir en figures 2 et 5.In a preferred embodiment, the cartridge (6) will be made of rigid plastic and will include an inlet opening and slots (9) along its length, allowing the flow of water, as can be seen in Figures 2 and 5.
La cartouche (6) est introduite dans la cavité (7) du leurre, et est fixée de façon amovible par tout moyen de fixation approprié, par exemple par encliquetage, ou par l'intermédiaire d'une barette (5) fixée solidairement au corps de la cartouche et venant s'insérer de façon temporaire dans un espace approprié du corps du leurre. L'avantage d'un tel moyen de fixation venant compléter le corps de la cartouche est que la manipulation de la cartouche pourra également se faire par l'intermédiaire de ce moyen de fixation. Ainsi, le pêcheur n'aura plus aucun contact avec le corps de la cartouche, qui pourra donc être entièrement perforé ou perméable sans qu'il soit nécessaire de
conserver une zone de manipulation. Les cartouches représentées en figures 2 et 5 comportent deux fentes longitudinales (9), mais on pourrait envisager plus de 2 fentes.The cartridge (6) is introduced into the cavity (7) of the lure, and is removably fixed by any suitable fixing means, for example by snap-fastening, or by means of a bar (5) fixed integrally to the body of the cartridge and coming to be inserted temporarily in an appropriate space of the body of the lure. The advantage of such a fixing means complementing the body of the cartridge is that the handling of the cartridge can also be done by means of this fixing means. Thus, the fisherman will no longer have any contact with the body of the cartridge, which can therefore be completely perforated or permeable without the need to keep a handling area. The cartridges shown in Figures 2 and 5 have two longitudinal slots (9), but one could consider more than 2 slots.
Quelque soit le leurre, la cartouche est remplie, selon l'invention, d'une composition odorante qui comporte au moins un agent ou des agents odorant(s) dispersible(s), par exemple soluble(s), dans l'eau et dont la densité est égale, ou très sensiblement égale, à celle de l'eau considérée pour le lieu de pêche.Whatever the lure, the cartridge is filled, according to the invention, with an odorous composition which comprises at least one dispersible odorous agent (s), for example soluble (s), in water and whose density is equal, or very substantially equal, to that of the water considered for the fishing location.
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la cartouche sera translucide ou transparente, de façon à permettre le contrôle visuel direct de l'état d'usure de la substance odorante.In a preferred embodiment, the cartridge will be translucent or transparent, so as to allow direct visual control of the state of wear of the odorous substance.
De façon préférée, le ou les agent(s) odorant(s) sont associés à une matrice (excipients, additifs) qui permet de les mettre sous une forme acceptable pour l'utilisation voulue et de les libérer dans l'eau à une concentration déterminée.Preferably, the fragrance agent (s) are associated with a matrix (excipients, additives) which makes it possible to put them in a form acceptable for the intended use and to release them in water at a concentration determined.
La composition odorante elle-même peut être liquide, sous forme de gel, voir pâteux ou solide. C'est la forme solide qui est préférée, pour différentes raisons explicitées ci-après. De tels solides sont par exemple des billes, microbilles, perles, granules, bâtonnets, bâtonnet unique remplissant la cartouche ou, de manière préférée, des comprimés.The odorant composition itself can be liquid, in the form of a gel, or even pasty or solid. It is the solid form which is preferred, for various reasons explained below. Such solids are, for example, beads, microbeads, beads, granules, sticks, single stick filling the cartridge or, preferably, tablets.
Un avantage de l'utilisation de composition odorante sous forme solide est que lorsque le leurre est sorti de l'eau, il n'y a pas d'écoulement, l'assèchement est rapide, et la composition odorante conserve ses propriétés pour une utilisation ultérieure avant, pendant ou ou après la courte phase d'assèchement. Une cartouche entamée est donc réutilisable et sa manipulation est aisée.An advantage of using a scent composition in solid form is that when the lure is taken out of the water, there is no flow, the drying is rapid, and the scent composition retains its properties for use. later before, during or after the short drying phase. A started cartridge is therefore reusable and its handling is easy.
Un autre avantage est que la libération de l'agent ou agents odorant(s) peut se faire par érosion c'est-à-dire destruction de la matrice. L'usure de la cartouche est donc visualisable.Another advantage is that the release of the odorous agent or agents can be done by erosion, that is to say destruction of the matrix. The wear of the cartridge can therefore be viewed.
Enfin, cette forme permet d'obtenir des concentrations en agents odorants beaucoup plus importantes que dans l'état de l'art.
L'agent ou les agents odorant(s) utilisés ici sont ceux présents dans les produits couramment utilisés dans l'industrie, comme par exemple les acides aminés, les nucléotides, les aminés quaternaires, les composés guanidiques, et leurs mélanges.Finally, this form makes it possible to obtain concentrations of odorous agents much higher than in the state of the art. The scenting agent (s) used here are those present in the products commonly used in industry, such as for example amino acids, nucleotides, quaternary amines, guanidic compounds, and mixtures thereof.
Parmi les produits utilisés par les pêcheurs, les plus concentrés en agents odorants sont les poudres de poisson. Ces poudres contiennent des acides aminés, responsables de l'attraction olfactive. Cependant, même dans ce cas, les acides aminés ne représentent que 7 à 10 % en poids environ de la substance odorante. Il était donc indispensable d'obtenir des concentrations en acides aminés, et d'une manière générale en agent odorant, nettement supérieures, afin d'obtenir un effet attractif supérieur sur une plus longue durée.Among the products used by fishermen, the most concentrated in odorants are fish powders. These powders contain amino acids, responsible for the olfactory attraction. However, even in this case, the amino acids represent only 7 to 10% by weight approximately of the odorous substance. It was therefore essential to obtain significantly higher concentrations of amino acids, and in general of odorant, in order to obtain a higher attractive effect over a longer duration.
Le Demandeur s'est alors orienté vers les acides aminés et autres agantes odorants en tant que molécules chimiques, et a utilisé les technique de la pharmacie galénique pour mettre en forme les molécules à une concentration supérieure à celle de l'art antérieur, et pour contrôler leur libération au cours du temps.The Applicant then turned to amino acids and other odorous agents as chemical molecules, and used the techniques of galenic pharmacy to shape the molecules at a higher concentration than that of the prior art, and for control their release over time.
Dans un mode de réalisation, la composition odorante selon l'invention comprend donc au moins 20% en poids d'acides aminés, de préférence au moins 50 % en poids, de préférence encore au moins 70 % en poids, et des excipients et additifs adaptés pour la mise en forme de la composition et la diffusion régulière et contrôlée des acides aminés.In one embodiment, the fragrant composition according to the invention therefore comprises at least 20% by weight of amino acids, preferably at least 50% by weight, more preferably at least 70% by weight, and excipients and additives suitable for shaping the composition and regular and controlled distribution of amino acids.
De préférence, la composition sera mise en forme sous forme de solides, de préférence sous forme de comprimés.Preferably, the composition will be shaped in the form of solids, preferably in the form of tablets.
De manière préférée, la dispersion ou diffusion de l'agent ou agent(s) odorant(s) dans l'eau se fait donc par érosion de la matrice par le flux d'eau ce qui libère de façon régulière et dans des concentrations significatives et déterminées l'agent ou les agents odorant(s). Il s'agit donc d'une diffusion « active », c'est-à-dire d'une diffusion se produisant lorsqu'il y a un flux d'eau passant dans le leurre. Ainsi, la matrice, comprenant des excipients et éventuellement des additifs,
permet de présenter le ou les agents odorants sous la forme appropriée et de contrôler leur libération de façon à ce que cette libération soit constante pendant un temps donné.Preferably, the dispersion or diffusion of the odorous agent or agent (s) in the water is therefore effected by erosion of the matrix by the flow of water, which releases regularly and in significant concentrations. and determined the odorant (s). It is therefore an "active" diffusion, that is to say a diffusion occurring when there is a flow of water passing through the lure. Thus, the matrix, comprising excipients and possibly additives, makes it possible to present the odorant (s) in the appropriate form and to control their release so that this release is constant for a given time.
Les excipients et additifs utilisés dans la composition selon l'invention sont ceux utilisés en galénique. L'homme de l'art pourra déterminer les excipients appropriés pour obtenir l'effet olfactif souhaité.The excipients and additives used in the composition according to the invention are those used in galenics. Those skilled in the art will be able to determine the appropriate excipients to obtain the desired olfactory effect.
La cartouche étant amovible et réutilisable, le même leurre peut donc être utilisé pour contenir successivement plusieurs cartouches contenant des agents odorants différents, chacune pouvant être utilisée entièrement ou partiellement. On pourra prévoir autant de cartouches odorantes différentes qu'il y a d'agents odorants, ou des cartouches de densité variable, toutes utilisables sur le même corps.The cartridge being removable and reusable, the same lure can therefore be used to successively contain several cartridges containing different odorous agents, each of which can be used entirely or partially. We can provide as many different scent cartridges as there are scent agents, or cartridges of variable density, all usable on the same body.
Le leurre conserve ses propriétés d'imitation de la nage d'un poisson vivant, puisque la substance odorante présentera une densité égale, ou très sensiblement égale, à celle de l'eau considérée pour le lieu de pêche. Ainsi, au cours de l'utilisation, l'espace libéré par érosion se remplira d'eau, et le centre de gravité du leurre sera peu, ou pas, déplacé. Le leurre conservera donc toutes ses propriétés de flottabilité et de nage.The lure retains its properties of imitation of the swimming of a living fish, since the odorous substance will present a density equal, or very substantially equal, to that of the water considered for the fishing place. Thus, during use, the space freed by erosion will fill with water, and the center of gravity of the lure will be little, or not, displaced. The lure will therefore retain all of its buoyancy and swimming properties.
Le terme « sensiblement égal » signifie que les faibles variations sont tolérées, puisqu'elles n'affectent pas la nage du leurre.The term "substantially equal" means that small variations are tolerated, since they do not affect the swimming of the lure.
D'une façon générale, la plupart des eaux de pêche sont des eaux douces ou faiblement salées, et présentent donc des densités égales ou sensiblement égales à 1. Lorsque l'on pêche dans des eaux très salées, la substance odorante pourra être différente et de densité appropriée.In general, most of the fishing waters are fresh or slightly salty waters, and therefore have densities equal to or substantially equal to 1. When fishing in very salty waters, the odoriferous substance may be different and of appropriate density.
L'invention concerne également les cartouches telles que décrites ci-dessus.The invention also relates to cartridges as described above.
En particulier, l'invention concerne une cartouche (6) amovible et réutilisable caractérisée en ce qu'elle contient une composition odorante comprenant un agent, ou un mélange d'agents, odorant(s), présentant une densité égale, ou très sensiblement égale, à celle de l'eau
considérée pour le lieu de pêche et libérant l'agent ou agents odorant(s) dans l'eau dans des quantités constantes pendant un temps donné. Ladite cartouche est soit perméable soit perforée (9), au niveau de son extrémité avant et sur au moins une partie de sa surface.In particular, the invention relates to a removable and reusable cartridge (6) characterized in that it contains an odorous composition comprising an agent, or a mixture of agents, odorous, having an equal or very substantially equal density , to that of water considered for the fishing place and releasing the odorous agent (s) in the water in constant quantities for a given time. Said cartridge is either permeable or perforated (9), at its front end and on at least part of its surface.
Cette cartouche comprend un moyen de fixation amovible au corps du leurre dans lequel elle s'insère, par exemple fixation par encliquetage, ou par l'intermédiaire d'une barette (5) fixée solidairement au corps de la cartouche et venant s'insérer de façon temporaire dans un espace approprié du corps du leurre.This cartridge comprises a removable fixing means to the body of the lure into which it is inserted, for example snap-fastening, or by means of a bar (5) fixed integrally to the body of the cartridge and coming to be inserted from temporarily in an appropriate space of the lure body.
La composition odorante est de préférence solide, de préférence encore sous forme de comprimés. Elle comprend un agent ou mélange d'agents odorant(s) approprié(s), comme par exemple les acides aminés, les nucléotides, les aminés quaternaires, les composés guanidiques, et leurs mélanges. Elle comprend de plus une matrice (excipients, additifs) permettant la mise en forme de l'agent ou des agents odorant(s) et sa/leur libération contrôlée au contact de l'eau, de préférence par érosion.The odor composition is preferably solid, more preferably in the form of tablets.
