Abstract
A fishing pole handle hinge assembly is provided with a first handle element, a second handle element, and a clamp. The first handle element terminates in a contact surface having a socket. The second handle element terminates in a contact surface having a tapering head configured to be received for pivotal positioning within a socket. The claim extends between the socket and the head. The clamp is configured to compress together the socket and the head to prevent movement of the socket relative to the head.
Claims27
A fishing pole handle hinge assembly, comprising:
- a first handle element terminating in a contact surface having a socket;
- a second handle element terminating in a contact surface having a tapering head configured to be received for pivotal positioning within the socket;
- and
- a clamp extending between the socket and the head and configured to compress together the socket and the head to prevent movement of the socket relative to the head.
A fishing pole handle, comprising:
- a first handle member having a contact surface with a rotary socket;
- a second handle member having a contact surface with a frustoconical head configured to seat in the rotary socket in any of a plurality of pivotal positions between the first handle member and the second handle member;
- and
- a tightener configured to compress together the socket and the ball while in one of the plurality of positions.
A locking pivot assembly for a fishing rod handle, comprising:
- a first structural member;
- a second structural member;
- a female pivot pocket communicating with the first structural member;
- a male pivot frustrum communicating with the second structural member and configured to couple with the female pivot pocket;
- at least one male spline extending radially in relation with one of the pocket and the frustrum;
- a plurality of coupling grooves extending radially in relation with another of the pocket and the frustrum and configured to selectively interlock with the one of the at least one male spline as the first structural member is pivotally positioned relative to the second structural member;
- and
- a fastener configured to compress together the pocket and the frustrum and interlock the spline with a circumferentially selected one of the grooves to lock the pivot assembly into a desired angular position between the first structural member and the second structural member.
A locking pivot assembly for a fishing rod handle, comprising:
- a first structural member having a first hinge portion;
- a second structural member having a second hinge portion;
- a clamp configured to engage together the first structural member and the second structural member at a desired angle therebetween;
- and
- a fishing reel mounting slot provided in one of the first structural member and the second structural member.
