  • Patent number: 5490346
    Abstract: A fishhook device comprises a hook unit and a lure member releasably fastened together. The hook unit comprises a first arm having a first hook at one end and a releasable fastener part at its opposite end, and a second arm with second and third hooks at one end and its other end portion joined to the first arm. The hooks each comprise a point and a curved portion. The curved portions of the second and third hooks diverge, one to each side of a longitudinal axis of the unit, and curve towards the second arm. The first hook curves towards the second arm in a plane through the longitudinal axis. The lure member has a second releasable fastener part and a loop spaced apart along the longitudinal axis. The second arm is releasably fastened to the lure member by cooperation of the first and second releasable fastener parts and by extension of the second arm through the loop.

  • Patent number: 5083108
    Abstract: A warning device for incorporation in the handle-bar of a bicycle has a casing with a tubular portion and a head portion. The tubular portion fits inside the end of the handle-bar while the head portion abuts the end of the handle-bar. A flat spring member with an arc-like configuration extends longitudinally outside the tubular portion to engage the inside of the handle-bar and retain the casing in its installed position. There is a battery cell within the tubular portion as well as circuitry. A piezoelectric transducer mounted inside the head portion is connected to the circuitry to form an oscillatory circuit. A switch is mounted externally of the head portion, preferably extending back over the end of the handle-bar. One side of the switch is connected through the spring member to one side of the cell and the other side of the switch is connected to the oscillatory circuit. Closing of the switch supplies power to the oscillatory circuit causing the transducer to generate a warning sound.
