Abstract
The present invention provides a slotted or non-slotted floating locking device that includes two internal components (chassis) that thread together in the opposite direction adjacent an internal central locking mechanism that includes a tapered compressing closing section and a receiving tapered opening (male and female) that can lock the device at a desired location on a fishing line. The two internal components are configured to receive slotted or non-slotted exterior components which provides buoyancy.
Claims20
A line locking fishing device configured for selective fixation on a fishing line, comprising:
- first and second chassis components, each with a central passage, threadably coupled to one another in opposite threading directions,
- a central locking mechanism between the chassis components, the locking mechanism comprising a male component with prongs on the first chassis component received by a female tapered opening on the second chassis component, and
- at least one exterior buoyant component affixed to the chassis components,
- wherein
- the locking mechanism compresses a portion of the fishing line to lock the float relative to the line when actuated by the coupling, and
- the fishing line is secured by the locking mechanism through the central passage.
A line locking fishing device configured for selective fixation on a fishing line, comprising:
- a first chassis component with a first body with a cavity, wherein a compressing male component with prongs sits within a first cavity,
- a second chassis component with second body with a threading component, wherein the threading component comprises a tapered receptacle therein, and
- at least one exterior buoyant component affixed to the chassis components,
- wherein
- the fishing line passes through a central passage formed by the first chassis component and the second chassis component,
- the first chassis component is threadably attached to the second chassis component when the threading component threads into the first cavity, and
- the tapered receptacle closes the prongs and causes the compressing male component secure the line passing through the central passage.
A line locking fishing device configured for selective fixation on a fishing line, comprising:
- a first slotted chassis component comprising a compressing component with prongs sits within a first cavity,
- a second slotted chassis component comprising a tapered receptacle therein, and
- at least one exterior buoyant component affixed to the chassis components,
- wherein
- the fishing line passes through an apertured formed by the first slotted chassis component and the second slotted chassis component into a central passage, and the tapered receptacle closes the prongs and causes the compressing male component when the slotted chassis components threadably attach to secure the line passing through the central passage.
