Abstract
A fish holder featuring a shortened handle section and teeth lining the entire length of the jaws of the holder is disclosed. The teeth in the jaws provide multiple points of contact against a fish, thereby enhancing control and grip on the fish. The disclosed invention may be constructed of two convex jaws or a combination of one convex jaw and one concave jaw. Teeth may also be arranged in a plurality of rows extending the length of the jaws. Use of the invention prevents contact with sharp body parts of the fish, such as teeth or spines.
Claims19
A fish holder comprising:
- a central support;
- at least one spring;
- at least two jaws, each having an arced section and a handle section, each jaw having a length, said length defined as the dimension extending though the arced and handle sections;
- and
- a plurality of teeth lining an interior of the jaws' arced sections along the length of the fish holder;
- wherein the jaws are mounted on the central support in a relation such that jaws pivot about the support and the at least one spring biases the jaws' arced sections together into a closed position, so that the holder may be used to grasp and secure a fish about its head.
3 more elements
A fish holder comprising:
- a central support, further comprising;
- a tongue component;
- an axel component, in a perpendicular relationship to the tongue;
- and
- an axel-securing component;
- at least one spring;
- at least two jaws, each having an arced section and a handle section, the arced sections of one having a convex orientation and the other having a concave orientation, such that the concave jaw nests within the convex jaw, each jaw having a length, said length defined as the dimension extending through the arced and handle sections;
- and
- a plurality of teeth lining an interior of the jaws' arced sections along the length of the fish holder;
- wherein the jaws are mounted on the central support in a relation such that jaws are mounted upon and pivot about the axel component and the at least one spring biases the jaws' arced sections together into a closed position, so that the holder may be used to grasp and secure a fish about its head.
