Abstract
This improvement to the standard reel clamp for a fishing reel is manufactured with nuts that are self-contained with the aid of a collar on each end of the nut. The collars keep the nuts from being lost during the process of storage and ease the installation of reels on the fishing rod. The nuts can be loosened to remove and attach fishing reels, but because the flanges at the ends of the nuts are larger than the nuts themselves, they will not fall out of or get lost from the reel clamp.
Claims1
A reel clamp specifically designed by Alexander Mobile to attach a fishing reel to a fishing rod with self-contained nuts. The reel clamp is a manufactured rectangular piece of metal with a slight arch in the middle to contour to the fishing rod. Each end of the clamp has a round nut that passes through a hole. Each end of the nut has a collar/flange that keeps the nuts in the rectangular clamp. Each nut has a slot cut in the end of it, so that a screw driver can be used to tighten or loosen them. The nuts are screwed to the fishing reel via the two reel studs on the bottom of the fishing reel that are provided with the clamp or by the reel manufacturer. The nuts are also made of metal such as brass, aluminum or stainless steel. Incorporated into this claim by description are drawings Figure A, Figure B, Figure C, and Figure D, submitted with the original application. The collar/flange mechanism prevents the nuts from being lost when the clamp is removed.
