Gate And Hook Formed Solely From Wire Patents (Class 24/601.3)
  • Patent number: 11758893
    Abstract: A trolling spreader bar is configured with a central body and a plurality of fishing lures as an assembly to mimic a small school of fish, wherein each lure can have a keel. The keel is angled to urge the lure assembly continually to one side or the other from what would be the normal straight line of travel of a trolling vessel. By attaching an angled keel directly to the lure/spreader bar one is able to easily set lines behind the vessel at varying angles and distances which greatly increase the width of the full trolling lure spread. The spreader bar can further be configured to have a counterweight directly attached to it to provide increased stability to the bar during trolling.

  • Patent number: 9814285
    Abstract: Double bent metal wires having a spring loaded configuration forming clasps, devices, apparatus, systems and methods for easily attaching and detaching ends of jewelry strands together. The opposite end has a hook with a spring catch for closing the hook and allowing the clasp to attach to a loop end of a fishing hook. The spring catch is formed from two legs each having bent ends attached to a base of the hook by a crimp ring to an end of a jewelry strand. To open the loop on the clasp, the spring catch can be pushed away from the hook opening, for attachment to loop ends of a jewelry strand. The clasps can be used with attaching jewelry ends of strands such as necklaces, bracelets, chains, and anklets together.
