US 12,319,472 B2 · Compression based fish hook holding device

Abstract

A fishhook carrying device has a resilient prismatic block, of which two adjacent faces are cut into by at least one set of spaced grooves extending along a longest dimension thereof. Two opposite parallel grooveless faces thereof abut two rigid exterior walls, which, along with a connecting bottom wall, form a unitary box structure. Rigid exterior walls of either side of the box structure maintain the prismatic block in a compressed form such that interior walls of each groove are pressed against each other in a first resting condition. When a flange is inserted into a pressed groove, the interior walls of the groove resiliently separate and thereafter abut the flange, frictionally holding the flange in place. The interior groove walls return to the first resting condition upon removal of the flange from the device.

Dependent claims

A device comprising:

a resilient prismatic block;
a first set of parallel grooves in said resilient prismatic block spaced equidistantly from each directly adjacent groove of said first set of parallel grooves;
a rigid first exterior side wall abutting at least substantially along an entirety of a first grooveless face of said resilient prismatic block;
a rigid exterior bottom wall abutting a first end of said resilient prismatic block;
a rigid second exterior side wall abutting a second grooveless face of said resilient prismatic block. said first grooveless face and said second grooveless face being on opposite sides of said resilient prismatic block;
and
wherein each groove of said first set of parallel grooves comprises a first interior side wall compressed against a second interior side wall and
each groove of said first set of parallel grooves extends into a first pair of adjacent faces of said resilient prismatic block.
