Electrically Animated Fishing Lure – MAYS RALPH C

5 and six can be of the floating sort as extended as at the very least a part of the inlet to cavity 70 is down below water when the lure floats on the area of the water. Alternatively, the lure of FIGS. 5 and 6 can be of the submersible kind, that is, the full lure human body is heavier than water and sinks. FIG. 7 displays the use of a submersible lure overall body that employs the rules of this invention. In FIG. 7 a fishing rod 80 is revealed as useds by a fisherman in a boat eighty two (the fisherman not currently being proven). With a fishing line 84 extending from the fishing rod. seven a fishing rod 80 is shown as useds by a fisherman in a boat eighty two (the fisherman not becoming demonstrated). With a fishing line 84 extending from the fishing rod. The lure entire body 12A is affixed to the close of fishing line 84. To management the depth of the lure, a float 86 on water floor 88 could be employed as illustrated.

Upon energization of motor 14 the wing members rotate. For the duration of portion of each revolution each wing rotates essentially underneath the water’s surface area. The other portion of every revolution every wing rotates in essence above the water’s floor in a paddle-wheel arrangement to thereby provide propulsion of the lure. Wings 24 and 26 deliver a thrashing motion on the water when motor fourteen is actuated, simulating the motion of a non-aquatic creature attempting to escape from the water’s surface area. This style of action simulates that of organic happening food items resources of game fish. The fishing lure human body twelve has a fishing line 28 attached to it. Fishing line 28 is in the kind of an electrical conductor or has therewith or therein an electrical conductor. FIG. nine is a diagrammatic instance of a method of offering electrical electrical power to lure 10. In FIG. 9 a fisherman thirty holds a rod and reel 32. A voltage source, these kinds of as a battery 34, delivers electrical vitality by means of an on/off swap 36 to a conductor 38 extending to the fishing rod and reel, and from thence to the fishing line 28. Switch 36 is illustrated for needs of clarity as individual from the rod and reel 32, however, the swap can effortlessly be affixed to the fishing rod to be operated by the same hand of the fisherman that holds the fishing rod.

In the illustration of FIG. eight it is assumed that the lure is frequently energized and the fisherman step by step reels line in at 28A, resulting in the route fifty eight to be adopted to the place exactly where the lure is at 10B. At this stage the fishing line 28B may all over again be specified slack, allowing the lure to go in a clockwise path, as indicated by the path 60, to bring about the lure to shift to the posture 10C. Route sixty causes the lure to shift all-around an item, these types of as a rock 62. This sequence illustrates how the motion of the lure on the area of the water can be controlled, in just a constrained extent by the fisherman. FIGS. 3 and four display another embodiment of the lure. In this embodiment, the motor shafts 16A and 18A (or extensions of the motor shafts) are in the variety of commonly radially extending wire parts 64. These wires or fibrous customers purpose in paddle-wheel style the same as wings 24 and 26 described with reference to FIGS.

one and two. In the chosen arrangement extra wires 64 are employed on shaft 16A than on shaft 18A to present a lot more propulsion so the lure moves, when the motor is energized, in a non-linear route. The lure body in FIGS. 3 and four is demonstrated with a plurality (overall of 6) leg members sixty six extending 3 from each and every facet. These leg associates could be shaped of plastic. The wings 24 and 26 of FIGS. 1 and 2 and the wire users 64 of FIGS. three and 4, when rotated, have interaction these versatile legs 66 causing them to deflect. Deflection of the legs is not directly involved with propulsion of the lure but serves to maximize the animation thereof. As is standard of all fishing lures, the lure of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 has a hook 68 extending from it. The hook can be arranged in a variety of approaches on the lure system.
