Abstract
The fishing lure case has a first half and a matching second half that form a cylindrical housing when in a closed position. A hinge is disposed on a lower edge of the case that serves to connect parallel longitudinal edges of the first half and the second half about which the case can be opened. A first arcuate flange extends from the first end of the first half and a matching second arcuate flange extends from the first end of the second half. Therefore, as the first half and the second half of the case are rotated about the hinge, the arcuate flanges encircle the fishing line so that the fishing line is secured and protected within the aperture. A plurality of ventilation apertures are disposed about the fishing lure case to allow air to circulate within the case and water to drain out.
Description
- The present invention relates to fishing equipment, and more particularly to an improved case for protecting a fishing lure or live bait that is attached to a fishing line.
- Artificial fishing lures are used by fisherman to test their skills at catching fish by imitating live bait. A fishing lure typically has the shape and coloring of live bait with the addition of multiple sharp hooks appending from a lower surface. The hooks, while effective at retaining a fish on the line, also are susceptible to, among other things, snagging carpeting, other fishing poles or lines, while in transit or storage.
- There have been attempts to protect a fishing lure in storage through the use of cases. Typically, the lure is placed in the case and snapped shut. The shortcoming of that type of case is that the line is able to slide between the linear gap formed in the top of the case when snapped shut. The fishing line can be rubbed and nicked by this gap causing failure the next time the fishing line is placed under a load. Accordingly, what is needed in the art is a fishing lure case that protects the hooks, but also does not expose the fishing line to potential damage at its most vulnerable location.
- Another shortcoming of the prior art is the inability of the case to properly ventilate and remain dry when in storage. This reduces the life of a fishing lure and its hooks as they are exposed to constant dampness that can lead to rust and fatigue over time.
- Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a novel, non-obvious and improved fishing lure case that reduces the damage to the lure fishing line when being stored while keeping the lure relatively dry and well ventilated.
- Notwithstanding the existence of prior art fishing lure cases, there is a need for an improved fishing lure case. It is, therefore, to the effective resolution of the aforementioned problems and shortcomings of the prior art that the present invention is directed. However, in view of the prior art at the time the present invention was made, it was not obvious to those of ordinary skill in the pertinent art how the identified needs could be fulfilled.
- The fishing lure case of the present invention includes a first half and a matching second half that form a cylindrical housing when in a closed position. A hinge is disposed on a lower edge of the case that serves to connect parallel longitudinal edges of the first half and the second half about which the case can be opened. When rotated to come together, the first half and the second half form an aperture disposed concentrically on the first end of the case when the case is in a closed position. A first arcuate flange extends from the first end of the first half and a matching second arcuate flange extends from the first end of the second half. Therefore, as the first half and the second half of the case are rotated about the hinge, the arcuate flanges encircle the fishing line so that the fishing line is secured and protected within the aperture. An interlocking clasp is located on an upper edge of the case that secures the first half and second half in a closed position. In the preferred embodiment, a plurality of ventilation apertures are disposed about the fishing lure case to allow air to circulate within the case and water to drain out.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide for an improvement that overcomes the aforementioned inadequacies of the prior art and provides a significant contribution to the advancement of fishing lure cases.
- Both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are explanatory and are not restrictive of the invention as claimed. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the present invention and together with the general description, serve to explain principles of the present invention.
- These and other important objects, advantages, and features of the invention will become clear as this description proceeds.
- The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts that will be exemplified in the description set forth hereinafter and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
- For a filler understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the fishing lure and bait case in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a top view of the fishing lure and bait case in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a side perspective view of the fishing lure and bait case opened in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a partial cross sectional view of the fishing lure and bait case in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 5 is a front perspective view of the fishing lure and bait case in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. - As shown in
FIG. 1 ,case 100 is cylindrical in shape and forms an interior cavity whencase 100 is in a closed position. An aperture is disposed at a first end ofcase 100, which allowsfishing line 110 to entercase 100 and attach to fishing lure stored within the cavity ofcase 100. A J-shaped hook 130 is located at an opposing second end ofcase 100 that is used to securecase 100 to a fishing reel protrusion or fishing rod eyelet, for example. Oncecase 100 is secured using J-shaped hook 130, winding the fishing reeltensions fishing line 110 and the lure is firmly held withincase 100. Clasp 140 securescase 100 in a closed position. In an alternative embodiment,case 100 includes a strap for securing case to a fishing rod (not shown). - Referring now to
FIG. 2 shows a top view ofcase 100 in a closed position. Hinge 230 is disposed on a lower edge ofcase 100 that connects parallel longitudinal edges offirst half 210 andsecond half 220 about whichcase 100 can be opened. When rotated together,first half 210 andsecond half 220 form anaperture 240 disposed concentrically on the first end ofcase 100 so thatfishing line 110 can pass into the cavity ofcase 100 whencase 100 is in a closed position. Interlockingclasp 140 includes a slot disposed on the upper longitudinal edge offirst half 210 for receiving a complementary tab disposed on the upper longitudinal edge ofsecond half 220 so thatfirst half 210 andsecond half 220 couple together in a closed position. - Fishing lure and
bait case 100 is shown in an open position inFIG. 3 so that the cavity formed byfirst half 210 andsecond half 220 can be readily observed. Interlockingclasp 140 is not shown inFIG. 3 for clarity.First half 210 andsecond half 220 each include a pair of opposing semicircular ends that form the circular first end and the bulbous circular second end ofcase 100 when in a closed position. A firstarcuate flange 310 extends fromfirst half 210 from its first end ofcase 100. A matching secondarcuate flange 320 extends fromsecond half 220 from its first end ofcase 100. Accordingly, whenfirst half 210 andsecond half 220 are rotated abouthinge 230, an overlappingaperture 240 is formed. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , in use fishing lure 120 (or live bait) is attached to the proximate end offishing line 110. Next,lure 120 is placed withinfirst half 210 andfishing line 110 is placed in alignment within firstarcuate flange 310 with the distal end of fishing line extending away fromfirst half 210. Assecond half 220 is rotated abouthinge 230, secondarcuate flange 320encircles fishing line 110 and slides underfirst half 210 until the upper edge of parallel longitudinal edges offirst half 210 andsecond half 220 abut one another.Fishing line 110 is secured and protected withinaperture 240 from sliding into the linear gap formed in first end ofcase 100 whenfirst half 210 andsecond half 220 are in a closed position. -
FIG. 5 showscase 100 in a slightly open position. A plurality ofventilation apertures 330 are disposed aboutfirst half 210 andsecond half 220. Ventilation apertures allow air to circulate withincase 100 and water to drain out. Further, in analternative embodiment case 100 can be immersed in fluid (e.g., a live well) when using live bait such as minnows while leaving the live bait onfishing line 110. Water can easily circulate within the case to the live bait. This helps to keep the live bait fresh on the line and consequently reduces stress on the bait and increases the effectiveness of the live bait.Case 100 is also effective when using grasshoppers or other live bait that are not required to be immersed in water but require sufficient air ventilation.Interlocking clasp 140 is not shown inFIG. 5 for clarity. - The particular embodiments disclosed above and in the drawings are illustrative only, as the invention may be modified and practiced in different but equivalent manners apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings herein.
