The hollow portion 32 of the cap is shouldered to rest atop the neck 24. Is provided with a depending diminished screw-threaded neck forty two which is screwed into the neck 24. It will be understood that any ideal water soluble fuel-making substance could be satisfactorily made use of, this sort of as calcium carbide. In practice, calcium carbide has been located to be economical and satisfactory. The reduced open up conclude part of the hollow entire body or shell is furnished with a centrally-positioned integrallymounted spider forty four provided at its center with a pair of upstanding spaced parallel lugs or cars and trucks 46 which are apertured at forty eight to retentively seat a ball-jointing member 59 on the reduced constricted or apical close part fifty two of a movable conical cup fifty four whose upper stop 56 is of a diameter that it is spaced inwardly from the encompassing walls of the shell. The lugs and ball-jointing member provide a universal-form joint enabling the cup to turn and go from facet to side as necessary in use. The higher I stop portion is presented with gasoline discharge orifices fifty eight. The aforementioned rollable ball excess weight is denoted at 69. Is typically seated in the reduced end portion fifty two of the cup. It will be found, even so, that this ball is adapted to roll out of the cup and into the major chamber in progressive actions as illustrated diagrammatically in FIGS.
Self-shifting excess weight implies is confined in said key chamber and is capable of capsizing the lure at the waters floor and then directing the leading downwardly, whereby the lure noses down and descends by way of the water to full a initially cycle of procedure. FIG. two is a horizontal section taken on the airplane of the area line 2-2 of FIG. FIG. three is a fragmentary sectional. FIG. five is a even more diagrammatic check out exhibiting the lure re-entering the water and how it descends to its original starting situation to finish the initial cycle of procedure, the previous many positions of the lure showing up in phantom strains. With reference initially to FIG. four at the remaining it will be observed that the spherical cork or equal float is denoted by the numeral 8, said float staying delivered centrally with a passage for a portion of the fishing line. 11. The portion ten is threaded-through a passage provided therefor in a restrict halt head twelve. The numeral fourteen designates a knot which is tied in the line and is tailored to arrive to rest atop the bead 12 when the latter is in its limit prevent position atop the float eight. The improved float is denoted by the numeral sixteen. Is of the construction shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. :It contains a hollow physique, preferably a cylindrical shell eighteen whose base twenty is open.

United States Patent Oflice 3,367,958 Patented Feb. 6, 1968 3,367,058 ANIMATED FISHING Lure WITH BUOYAN CY Modifying Implies THEREIN Anthony C. Dominique, 4749 DeMontluzin St., New Orleans, La. 70122 Filed Aug. 10, 1965, Ser. No. 478,646 ‘7 Statements. Abstract OF THE DIStCLGSURE Whilst the around-all deal with is of basic importance, the essence of the notion has to do with an animated fishing lure characterised by a hollow cylindrical shell open at the base and presented at the prime with a diving nose. The hollow portion constitutes a major chamber which capabilities to obtain and lure a column of water.
The fuel as a result created leads to the column of water to be forcibly expelled by the open up bottom twenty and the emptied primary chamber fills up with gasoline and success in the buoyancy alter ideal. The lure is now amply buoyant to ascend and swim to and through the surface (FIG. 4). The pounds of the ball 60 acts as a balance and retains the lure in a vertical (or significantly so) posture until the surface is arrived at and when there the lure tilts (in any route) and the ball rolls out of its universally mounted nesting cone fifty four ensuing in the lure tilting more until the gas escapes. At this condition (as shown diagrammatically at D. E) the ball rolls into the nose of the lure. Now that the gasoline has been expelled, the main chamber 30 fills with water once more and, with the ball again in the cone, the lure is triggered to dive promptly right up until the conclude of the line H is arrived at and it capsizes yet again as at the starting off position.
The cork, bead and coacting knot bring about the lure suspended element of the line to check the descent whereupon the lure is brought to a halt and capsized. The lure is now readied to operate, swims up to the surface, is routinely inverted and nose dives, sinks and swims down all over again completing the first cycle and adapts itself for a repeat performance. The lure is the sizeable component. It contains a hollow body or cylindrical shell open up at the base. Furnished with a domical leading which provides the diving nose. The hollow part provides a key chamber which has the potential to obtain and lure a column of water. An auxiliary chamber is designed into the major and has a gasoline discharge port speaking with the primary chamber and defines a subordinate or auxiliary chamber which has a water soluble substance (a calcium carbide pellet or powder) which generates and discharges a pressurized cost of gas through the port into the primary chamber when contacted by the column of water, whereby to expel the water and render the then gasoline-billed system buoyant and resulting in it to float and swim upwardly to the waters surface.
