Abstract
A knot tying device is described. Embodiments of the knot tying device can include, but are not limited to, a shaft, a spring, a slide member, an elastomeric member, and a nut. The shaft can include a slot for receiving a fishing line therethrough and trapping the fishing line between the slide member and the elastomeric member of the knot tying device. When the fishing line is secured to the knot tying device, the knot tying device can be implemented to thread the fishing line through and around the fishing line based on a type of knot being tied.
Claims20
A knot tying device comprising:
- a shaft being defined by a first end, a second end, a first portion including the first end, a second portion including the second end, and a shaft stop located between the first portion and the second portion;
- a compression spring fit over the first portion and having a bottom end interfacing with a top of the shaft stop;
- a slide member fit over the first portion and having a bottom end interfacing with a top end of the compression spring;
- an elastomeric member fit over the first portion and having a bottom end interfacing with a top end of the slide member;
- and
- an end stop coupled to the first end of the shaft and having a bottom end interfacing with a top end of the elastomeric member.
A knot tying device comprising:
- a shaft being defined by a first portion having a first diameter, a second portion having a second diameter, and a slot located in an upper section of the first portion;
- a compression spring fit over the first portion and having a bottom end interfacing with a top of the second portion;
- a slide member fit over the first portion and having a bottom end interfacing with a top end of the compression spring;
- an elastomeric member fit over the first portion and having a bottom end interfacing with a top end of the slide member;
- and
- a nut removably coupled to a top end of the shaft and having a bottom end interfacing with a top end of the elastomeric member.
A method of implementing a knot tying device, the method comprising:
- providing a knot tying device, the knot tying device comprising:
- a shaft being defined by a first portion, a second portion, a shaft stop located between the first portion and the second portion, and a slot located in an upper section of the first portion;
- a compression spring fit over the first portion and having a bottom end interfacing with a top of the shaft stop;
- a slide member fit over the first portion and having a bottom end interfacing with a top end of the compression spring;
- an elastomeric member fit over the first portion and having a bottom end interfacing with a top end of the slide member;
- and
- a nut removably coupled to a top end of the shaft and having a bottom end interfacing with a top end of the elastomeric member;
- moving the slide member from a first position to a second position;
- inserting a fishing line through the slot;
- moving the slide member from the second position back to the first position and trapping the fishing line between the slide member and the elastomeric member;
- and
- using the knot tying device to tie a knot with the fishing line.
