Abstract: A bite indicator for indicating a bite by a fish on a line of a fishing rod includes an arm that is free to swing upward or downward and a line engagement device secured to the arm for engaging the line. A change in the tension on the line causes the line engagement device to rise or fall as the arm swings upward or downward. The line engagement device includes a body provided with a channel and a pivoting gate that pivots between closed and open positions. In the closed position the gate extends over the channel to form a closed loop with the body that surrounds the line when the bite indicator is in use. In the open position the line is free to move out of the channel. The body is oriented with respect to the arm so that the line tends to open the gate only after the arm swings to an upper position beyond a predetermined level.

Abstract: A fish-bite indicator has a rotary part which is engaged by a fishing line when the indicator is in use, such that longitudinal movement of the fishing line causes the rotary part to rotate. Sensor means are provided to produce a signal for every rotation or part rotation of the rotary part. A counter is connected to the sensor means and constructed to issue an indicator signal in dependence upon each signal or each given count of signals it receives from the sensor means, the counter being constructed so that the number of each given count is alterable. A manually adjustable member is connected to the counter to enable that count to be altered thereby to enable the sensitivity of the indicator to be varied. The invention also extends to a fish-bite indicator comprising a housing having wall means which define (a) a sealed interior of the housing and (b) an enclosure immediately adjacent to the sealed interior.

Abstract: A single piece synthetic plastics extruded shelving component, for use in the display, storage or sale of goods. The component has a flat elongate part which provides a shelf surface when in use. It also has a portion that extends along one side of the elongate part, is thicker than that part and is integral therewith, and provides means such as a groove for supporting a further shelving part, such as a riser.

Abstract: A merchandise display assembly has a frame with two upright support stems, and a number of trays each with tubular portions on opposite sides which engage the stems in a manner which allows vertical adjustment of the trays. The assembly also includes wire frames extending between the stems and supporting wire prongs.
