TAKLIER Lee Wulff, New York, N. Y.
Application June 28, 193'7, Serial No. 151L715 1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in snares or tailors and is directed. more particularly to the provision of a novel snare or tailer for fish and the like.
It is one of the principal objects of the invention to provide a snare or tailer which is so constructed as to offer little resistance to flowing water so that ready and efiicient manipulation of the device is facilitated. The construction of the invention is simple in form so that the device is economical to manufacture.
It is another object of the invention to pro vide a tailer which is telescopically constructed so as to be collapsible into a compact and small unit which may be readily carried about.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a snare having a removable handle member and arranged to be particularly adapted for use in connection with large salt water fish, such as the giant tuna and the like.
Various other objects and advantages of the invention will become more apparent after a.
reading of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, where- Fig. 1 is a side elevational View of the snare of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a sectional view to explain certain features of construction;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a plan view to explain a modification of the invention;
Fig. 5 is a side elevational View of the modification shown in Fig. 4;
Fig. 6 is a sectional view of another modification of the invention;
Fig. 7 is a side elevational view of still another modification; and
Fig. 8 is a diagrammatic view to explain the form shown in Fig. 7.
Referring now to the drawing more in detail the invention will be fully described.
The device of the invention includes in general a supporting m mber 2 having a flexible member l slidable therein and there are loop-forming parts associated therewith for slipping over the tail of a fish.
According to the one present preferred form of the invention, the device is telescopic. That is, the support i. is tubular in form and has its forward end swedged as shown to provide a restricted opening thereinto. The flexible member t is what I call a bow-spring and consists of a flat, relatively narrow and thin strip of metal (Cl. iii- 5) and it is slidable within member 2 with its forward end portion extending out thru the open mg.
I have found it desirable to give to the forward end portion of the member A a half twist as shown at t which serves to strengthen the device and helps the smooth working of the instrument as will later appear. In order to prevent the entire removal of the bow-spring 4 from the tube 23, I preferably secure to the fiat member a split-ring member in which is slightly less in diameter than the inside diameter of the tube so as to be freely slidable therein but of greater diameter than the restricted opening. It will be obvious, as indicated in Fig. 2, that the member 53 prevents the spring from slipping out the restricted opening.
The forward end of the flexible member l carries a swivel connection which may be formed in various ways that preferably includes an eye member it pivoted in some way to another eye member ii. To the latter eye there is attached one end of a flexible cable M. On the other end of cable it there is a loop l8 which is attached to an eye til carried by a ring it.
is slidable on tube and may slide forwardly thereon over the twisted part 8 and down over the above-mentioned swivel connection and onto cable it to form a loop or noose. It will be seen that the swivel connection provides free and flexible relative movements of the parts as does the connection between slidable ring it and the cable it. The tube 2, of course, guides both the ring it and the bow-spring.
in Figs. 4 and 5 there is shown a modified form of connection between the flexible member 4 and the cable; In this form the forward end of part d is rolled to have an eye it and to this is attached a loop member it, to which, in turn, the cable may be fastened.
In Fig. 6, a modified form of the invention is shown and this is not telescopic, as is the form just described, but is particularly adapted for use on the smaller of the salt-water game fish, such as the small tuna. This includes a tubular handle 36 having an extension or pin member 32 secured therein, as by rivets 33.
A taiier spring member 3 5, similar to the members and t above described, has threaded holes therein which coincide with threaded holes provided in extension 32. Thumb-screws 36 are threaded into these holes so as to removably fasten the taller spring to the support.
In Fig. 7, still another modified form of the invention is shown. This form is especially suitable for use with larger fish, such as the giant tuna, marlin, and broadbill swordfish.
This includes a socket member 42 which is adapted to removably receive a handle 40. The socket 42 is secured directly to the flat spring 44 as by rivets 58 and the spring may have a rearwardly-extending extension 48 to which is attached a ring 50.
A rope or the like 52 is attached to the ring 50 while to the outer end of the member 44 there may be a swivel connection 58, similar to that described above, with a flexible cable 54, attached thereto and to a ring 56 which is slidable on part 114, much in the manner described with reference to the form shown in Fig. 1.
With this type of tailer, the socket 42 is used to only temporarily hold a pole or handle so that the tailer may be guided over the fishs tail and then after the taller noose is set the pole is withdrawn and laid aside in the boat. Then the rope 52 is used to play and pull in the fish.
It is important to point out that the fiat bowspring members 4, 4', 34 and M are so purposely made because, as contrasted with otherwiseshaped members, they offer little resistance to the water so that case and efiiciency in operation are facilitated. Furthermore, such a flat strip holds its shape better, particularly in fast water,
and being slidable and rotatable it can be reversed in its spring action so that the metal is not continually strained in the same direction.
While I have described the invention in great detail, it is not desired to be limited to such detail as many modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. What it is desired to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
As a new article of manufacture, a snare for snaring fish comprising, an elongated support member having a central bore and. the walls at the outer end thereof formed to provide a restricted elongated outlet slot transversely of said bore and leading thereinto, a flat flexible member within said bore having its forward end extending through said slot and adapted to be moved outwardly of said support member through said slot, the side walls of said slot engageable With the sides of the flexible member to prevent rotating of said member relative to the support in all relative positions thereof, a cable member having a ring on one end thereof slidably disposed around said support member, and a swivel connection connecting the other end of said cable member and the forward end of said fiat flexible member.
