Description

l The present invention relates to a device

  staple for hooking a fishing bait.

  In the field of fishing, in particular predator fishing, a bait is used which consists either of a dead or living fish, or of a lure of the type representing the shape of a fish or the like, made in

flexible plastic.

  Traditionally, the bait is mounted directly on the hook which has the disadvantage of

  reduce its attachment capacity since part of it

it is buried in the bait.

  To overcome this drawback, staple devices have been proposed for hooking the bait and intended to be associated with the hook which thus remains

  free and retains all its spicy potential.

  Such a device for hooking a dead fish is proposed in document FR 2,607,665, it essentially consists of a metallic wire of small section bent to form on the one hand a loop for fixing a branch line or a hook, and on the other hand two strands making between them an acute angle and whose ends are folded towards each other to create two claws, one of them being intended to be introduced into the dead fish while that the other grips said dead fish from the outside, which is thus caught in pincers. However, this device has the disadvantage of being reserved for a certain size of fish, and of not allowing the luring of

various forms.

  Another staple device is described in document WO 94/19936, it consists of a metallic wire of small section bent to form on the one hand a loop for fixing a branch line or a hook, and on the other share two strands joined together, the ends of which are bent in the same direction to create two U-shaped claws, said strands being of different length, said claws are spaced apart longitudinally from one another, while a stop ring surrounds said strands & near said loop. This staple device allows a good hooking of a fish, it nevertheless has the drawback of the difficulties of hooking and removing a lure in

flexible plastic.

  Indeed, a soft plastic lure is full, and the attachment can only be achieved by successive depressions of the two claws, which is almost impossible to achieve without tearing the material, and is detrimental to the solidity of the hanging. Furthermore, the removal of the lure has the same drawbacks and leads to complete tearing of the latter.

which then cannot be reused.

  The object of the present invention is to remedy the various aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a staple device for hooking a bait, whether this consists of a dead fish or a lure made of flexible plastic material, the placing of which place and removal are

  easily achievable without damaging said bait.

  The staple device according to the invention comprises a means of attachment to a branch line and / or to a hook, and it is essentially characterized in that it comprises a hooking hook-shaped means capable of being split in two hooks, the splitting, which is reversible, being carried out after insertion of said means

hooking in the bait.

  When in its single hook configuration, the staple device according to the invention can be easily inserted into the body of a fish or a soft plastic lure in the same way as a hook, its splitting in two hooks to increase the attachment, since said hooks can

  then sink in two different directions.

  The reversibility of the split in two hooks facilitates the removal of the staple device according to

  the invention, and prevents deterioration of the bait.

  According to an additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, it comprises a movable means, the displacement of which allows the attachment means to be split into two hooks and vice versa. According to a particular embodiment of the device according to the invention, it consists of a metal wire bent so as to form a loop for fixing a branch line or a hook, and two strands of the same length, angularly separated one relative to the other, and whose ends are folded to form two claws, the bringing together of said strands by pinching allowing the superimposition of said claws to form only one. According to an additional characteristic of the particular embodiment of the device according to the invention, a ring is threaded on the strands with the possibility of displacement along these to allow, depending on its position, to bring said strands closer or to leave them

step aside.

  According to another additional characteristic of the particular embodiment of the device according to the invention, each of the strands comprises, near the loop, at a distance greater than or equal to the length of the ring, an inflection point, so that the extreme parts of said strands, beyond said points of inflection,

deviate at a certain angle.

  The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the

  description which follows and which relates to the appended drawing,

  which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

  In the accompanying drawing: - Figure 1 shows a perspective view

  of a staple device according to the invention.

  - Figure 2 shows a perspective view

  of the same device in another configuration.

  - Figure 3 shows a side view of a lure during a step of the establishment on it

  of a staple device according to the invention.

  - Figure 4 shows the same view with partial cutaway in a next step of setting

  place thereon the staple device according to the invention.

  - Figure 5 shows a top view with partial cutaway of the same lure during a next step of the establishment thereon of the staple device according to

the invention.

  - Figure 6 shows a top view with partial cutaway of the same lure during a next step of the implementation thereon of the clip device according to the invention. With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be seen that a staple device 1 according to the invention consists of a folded metal wire, comprising a loop 10 for fixing a branch line and / or a hook, not shown, and two strands 11 of the same length whose folded ends

each form a hook 12.

  The folding of the ends of the strands 11 is such that the joining thereof allows the superimposition of the two hooks 12, which then only make one hook C. It can also be seen that a ring, in l occurrence a pearl 2 having a hole 20, is threaded

on both strands 11.

  Furthermore, the strands 11 each have, near the loop 10, at a distance greater than or equal to the diameter of the bead 2, an inflection point 13, so that the end portions of the strands 11, beyond the

  inflection points 13, deviate at a certain angle.

  The pearl 2 can be moved on the strands 11, when it is positioned between the loop 10 and the inflection points 13, as in FIG. 1, the strands 11 move apart, while when it is positioned beyond inflection points 13, as in FIG. 2, the strands 11 are joined and the hooks 12 form the hook C. If we now refer to FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6, we can see successive stages of the operation of placing a staple 1 on a lure 3 of flexible plastic material, which comprises a corrugated body 30 and a tail 31 intended to undulate during the displacement of the lure 3

in water.

  In FIG. 3, the clip 1, the pearl 2 of which has been previously displaced on the strands 11 in the direction of the hooks 12 so that these form the hook C, is ready to be pressed by the latter into the end 32 of the body 30 of the lure 3. The depression is accompanied by a pivoting movement, represented by the arrow P, combined with a bending, not shown, of the body 30 to allow a deep introduction such as that

is shown in figure 4.

  It will be noted that during the insertion of the clip 1 into the body 30, the pearl 2 moves back on the strands without however exceeding the inflection points 13, which are not visible. Referring now to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the displacement of pearl 2 on the strands 11 in the direction of the loop 10 so that it is positioned between the latter and the inflection points 13, causes a spacing of the strands 11, however limited by the material

of which the body is made 30.

  Referring now to FIG. 6, it can be seen that to complete the positioning of the clip 1 on the lure 3, a slight traction is exerted on the clip 1, along the arrow T, so as to that the hooks 12, not visible, enter the body 30 in different orientations, which ensures better attachment, which is increased during fishing when the

lure 3 is dragged in the water.

  The staple 1 is removed by proceeding in the reverse manner, firstly the staple 1 is pushed axially in the direction of the body 30, then the pearl 2 is moved over the strands 11 to tighten the latter and bring together the hooks 12, finally the clip 1 is removed, which is carried out without deterioration of the body 30. It will be noted that the installation and removal of a clip 1 on a lure of another type or on a

  fish are made in the same way.

  It will also be noted that it is possible that the clip 1 is not equipped with a pearl 2 or the like, in this case the approximation of the strands 11 is obtained by pinching them between two fingers, which however cannot be achieved. easily. In addition, the pearl 2 also has the function of constituting a stop for the fastener secured to the

loop 10.

  It goes without saying that the present invention does not

  cannot be limited to the foregoing description of one of

  its embodiments, liable to undergo a certain number of modifications without departing from the scope of

the invention.
