$PECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 597,142, dated January 11, 1898. Applicatlon filed september 8,1897. Serial No. 650,458. illomodel.)
T0 aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK EDER, of White Plains, in the county of \Vestchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fish-Hooks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention is an improvement in fishhooks, and relates more particularly to the class generally known as spring-actuated fish-hooks, the object of theinvention being to provide a device of this character by which a series of hooks are held normally together or nested in such a manner that when pressure is applied thereto the said hooks will be separated by the spring tendency of the connecting portions serving to thereby engage different parts of the fishs mouth and effectually prevent his breaking away.
With the above objects in view the invention consists in a fish-hook, the same comprising in its construction a main section or supporting-rod having ahook pivoted thereto and provided with projecting fingers between which the inner end of the hook or shank thereof projects and is flattened, together with spring members carrying hooks which are held against the action of the spring by means of the fingers between which they are placed, the spring members being connected to the supporting-frame, as hereinafter fully described, and particularly set forth in the claims.
In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a fish-hook or device constructed in accordance with my invention, the hooks being in position for operation. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the position of the hooks after they are sprung. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view of the supporting-rod and hook pivoted thereto. Fig. 4 is a similar view of one member of the spring,showing the manner of connecting the hook thereto. Fig. 5 is a detail view of a modified form. Fig. 6 is a detail view of a further modification.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 designates a rod, or it may be a flat strip, one end of which is provided with fingers 2 2, extending parallel with each other and at right angles with the strip, the said strip being bifurcated between the fingers and provided with eyes 3 to receive a pivotpin 4, serving to connect the main hook 5- thereto. For the purpose of pivoting the hook to the rod or. metal strip the shank of said hook is bent into an eye 6, as shown, through which the pivot-pin passes, the end of the shank being extended between the fingers and beyond the same, where it is flattened, as indicated by the numeral 7, for the purpose hereinafter specified. Connected to the other end of the supporting-rod or metal strip is a spring 8, consisting of a length of wire which is provided centrally with a number of coils, from which the ends 9 9 project and are bent so as to diverge. To the ends or diverging members of the spring are at tached hoods 10, the attachment being made by passing an end of the wire through the joint of the hook and bending said wire thereon and upon the shank, as shown in the drawings, the members of the hook projecting in opposite directions. The spring just described, which is carried with the supplemental-hooks, is connected tothe supporting-rod or metal strip or may be attached to the connectingcord in connection withthe said rod.
In the operation of a fish-hook constructed as herein described the supplemental or auxiliary hooks are first brought together and then passed into the space between the ears, being confined by said ears with the extended end of the main hook bearing against the under sides of the same, while the members of the several hooks extend in different directions. The bait is applied to one or more of the hooks in the usual manner, and when a fish allured thereby attempts to grab the bait he will release the auxiliary hooks, and the spring tendency of the same will cause them to enter the gills of the fish and serve as an' The construction and arrangement providing the spring-actuated fish-hook hereinbefore describedform one that is exceedingly simple in construction, but effective in operation, possessing the important advantage of being quickly set for operation.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a fish-hook of the character described, the combination of a rod or metal strip, fingers projecting therefrom, and a hook pivoted to the rod or strip and having the end extending between the fingers; together with spring-actuated hooks normally confined between the fingers, substantially as shown and described.
2. In a fish-hook of the character described, the combination of a rod or metal strip, fingers projecting therefrom and parallel with each other, and a'hook pivoted to the strip or rod with its inner end extended between the fingers; together with a spring-wire, the central portion of whichis formed into several coils-of which the end portions diverge, and from which coils said rod is suspended and hooks at the terminals of the diverging portions, substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a fish-hook of the character described, the combination of a number of spring-hooks held closely together adjacent to each other, with one suspended from the junction of the body portions of the others, means for drawing the hooks closely together, and a device for liberatingthe hooks and permit them to spring apart, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. V
' FRANK EDER.
