Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fastener device and method for assisting connection of fishing tackle to a fishing line.
  • Novice anglers can find it a difficult task to tie a fishing hook or other tackle to the line.
  • environmental conditions such as darkness, stormy weather or a rocking boat can make tying a knot a difficult if not impossible proposition.
  • an improperly tied hook may look acceptable, but in use will lead to failure.
  • the hook may separate from the line or the knots will crimp and weaken the line so that it will break, typically as the angler is reeling in the fish. Losing a fish because of an improperly tied hook is one of the most frustrating events in fishing.
  • US 3,785,011 describes a device for tying fishing line to fishing tackle. It is intended to allow fishing line to be conveniently and securely fastened and unfastened without knotting the line.
  • the device has an elongate shank with an eye at one end and a hook at the other end.
  • the eye is formed by bending the end of the shank in a circular loop such that an end of the eye crosses over and touches the shank.
  • the hook at the other end of the shank is adapted to allow its attachment to the eye of a fishhook or snap swivel.
  • the end of the hook is shaped to form an anchor point for a fishing line bight.
  • the hook of the device is located within an eye of fishing tackle to be attached to the line.
  • Fishing line is doubled to form a bight and the bight is attached to the anchor point.
  • the doubled line is spirally wound five or six times around the shank and the line is pulled so to force it to go into the eye of the shank.
  • One of the problems with this device is that it requires the line to be removed from the device in order to change the fishing tackle attached via the hook to the device.
  • PCT/AU92/00320 Another device is disclosed in PCT/AU92/00320. This document describes a multi-purpose fastener for use in facilitating the joining of two or more ropes, cables or filaments including fishing line.
  • the device comprises at least three eyelets and at least two shanks.
  • the eyelets are spaced apart from one another and a separate one of the shanks extends between each adjacent pair of eyelets.
  • the device When used in respect of fishing lines, the device is an elongate shaft having three open eyelets, one at each end and one centrally located. Fishing line is wound around the shaft and passes into each of the outer eyelets with a loop being threaded through the central eyelet. The loop can be used for the attachment of hoops, traces and sinkers.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a means and method to facilitate attachment of fishing tackle to a fishing line. At the least it is an object to provide a useful alternative for the public from that which has gone before.
  • a connector for facilitating the attachment of fishing tackle to fishing line comprising an elongate shaft having an eyelet at one end, a clip at an opposite end, and an eyelet, adapted to act as an anchor point for a bight of fishing line, located at a location spaced apart from the end eyelet and the clip and between the eyelet and the clip.
  • a device for facilitating the attachment of fishing tackle to fishing line comprised of an elongate shaft having an eyelet and a clip and an anchor point for a bight of fishing line located between the eyelet and the clip, the clip being adapted so that, in an open configuration, it permits attachment to or removal therefrom of fishing tackle to the device and, in a further case, a closed configuration where it is adapted to prevent removal of fishing tackle therefrom once it is attached thereto.
  • the elongate shaft is a single length of wire which is formed in the shape described.
  • the eyelet is an open loop.
  • the loop is located at an end of the shaft and formed by a portion of the shaft having been bent over itself or around to form the loop in a coil formation.
  • the eyelet is circular and looped around at least once.
  • the anchor point can be of any shape capable of providing an anchor point for a bight of line.
  • the anchor point is intended to prevent the movement of the bight towards the eyelet. It is thought that a flange, hook or protrusion extending outwards from an alignment of the shaft will provide a necessary anchor point.
  • the anchor point is an eyelet integral with the shaft.
  • the inner surface of the anchor eyelet closest to the other eyelet of the device should act to provide the necessary anchor point.
  • the anchor eyelet is formed by bending or looping the shaft.
  • the clip should be adapted to permit the releasable attachment of fishing tackle to the device, via an eyelet of a fishing hook or a swivel.
  • the clip may be of any shape, including circular, keyhole or irregularly shaped.
  • the clip is preferably located at an end of the shaft.
  • the clip is preferably formed by bending a portion of the shaft near an end of the shaft around to form a loop having a part adapted to engage another portion of the shaft.
  • Preferably the clip is biased against opening when the clip is in the closed state.
  • the device is preferably entirely formed from a single substantially straight piece of wire or a single metal shaft.
  • the eyelet, clip and anchor point are all formed by deforming or shaping the single wire or shaft.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device of the instant invention.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device of Figure 1 , after rotating the device by 180 degrees.
  • Figure 3 is a view from above in the direction of A of the device of Figure 1.
  • Figure 4 is an end view of the device of Figure 3, when viewed in the direction B.
  • Figure 5 is an end view of the device of Figure 3, when viewed in the direction C.
  • Figures 6 to 10 show perspective views of a device of Figure 2 and fishing line during the process of attaching the device to the line.
  • Figures 11 to 15 show views from above of a device of Figure 2 and fishing line during the process of attaching the device to the line.
  • Figures 1 to 5 show different views of a device or connector 1 of the embodiment.
  • the device is formed from a metal shaft 2.
  • the shaft has been shaped to provide an integral eyelet 3 at one end of the device and an integral clip 4 at the other end.
  • an anchor point Located between the eyelet and the clip is an anchor point in the form of eyelet 5.
  • the eyelets 3 and 5 are formed by deforming a single length of wire in each case by winding the wire into a spiral shape with each spiral being of similar diameter and hand. Further, the eyelet 5 is positioned to be such that its central diameter is aligned to be at right angles to a direction of elongation of the shaft 2. Also the eyelet 3 is wound so that it has a central diameter aligned to be substantially parallel with a direction of elongation of the shaft 2.
  • the connector 1 can be connected to a nylon fishing line by taking an end portion of a line and then fold a first part back on itself to form a bight.
  • an action that allows for a winding in a continuous winding action in a handedness opposite to that of the respective spiral shapes a person can then obtain a strong connection without a knot being tied.
  • the eyelets are formed by deforming a portion of the wire it is possible to have relatively open or closed eyelets.
  • an open eyelet is one wherein there is a gap between the portion of the shaft that overlaps another portion of the shaft.
  • a closed eyelet is one which has a closed or sealed loop, by for example having the overlapping portion of the shaft in touching contact with the portion of the shaft it overlaps.
  • the eyelets 3 and 5 are better to be open eyelets for this permits the easy attachment of the device to a fishing line. Closed eyelets can still be used but their use require the fisherman to push the line through the eyelets rather than using the preferred method of attachment outlined below.
  • the clip 4 is formed by deforming a portion of the wire near one end of the shaft to form a loop capable of having a closed configuration.
  • the portion of the shaft should also be capable of adopting an open configuration that would permit the attachment of fishing tackle.
  • the clip 4 is shown in the closed configuration in Figures 1 and 2.
  • a part 6 of the clip is adapted to engage a portion of the shaft, by being bent into a hook.
  • the clip is biased against opening when the clip is in the closed state by the shape of the clip and by the natural resistance to deformation of the metal wire.
  • Figures 6 to 15 show a method of attaching the line to the device. The positions of the hands of the fisherman are not shown. Typically a right- handed fisherman will hold the clip end with the left hand and the line with the right hand.
  • a bight of line is formed and located within the anchor eyelet. This may be done by looping the end of the loop over the eyelet 5 at a side of this furthest from the eyelet 3. Then wind the bight around an axis provided by the shaft 2 but in a hand direction which is opposite to the spiral direction of the eyelet or helical shape of the spiral 5. (Alternatively, when an open eyelet is used, the line is attached by first forming a bight and locating the bight at the part of the eyelet where the shaft overlaps and pulling the bight into the open eyelet through the gap between the overlapping shafts.)
  • the line on either side of the bight is located towards the eyelet at the end of the device as shown in Figures 6 and 11.
  • the second step is shown in Figures 7 and 12. Whilst holding the clip end of the device with one hand the lines are brought together and pulled against the anchor eyelet 5 towards eyelet 3 end of the device.
  • the third step is shown in Figures 8 and 13 wherein the parts of the bight of the fishing line under tension are wrapped around the shaft located between the two eyelets with a direction of winding that is the same which is opposite however to that of both eyelets. Typically four or five revolutions are sufficient.
  • the fourth step is to locate the line in the end eyelet.
  • an open eyelet this can be readily done by winding the line around the eyelet between the shafts making up the eyelet through the gap between the overlapping shafts.
  • Figures 9 and 14 show the line partially wound around the eyelet and between the overlapping shafts. This is achieved by continuing the winding action in a hand direction which is the same as before and this is opposite to the spiral direction of the end eyelet 3.
  • end eyelet is closed it is helpful to include a preliminary step to the overall method wherein the free end of the line is initially passed through the end eyelet. Once the third step has been completed, the free end of the line must be threaded back through the end eyelet.
