  • Patent number: 4685242
    Abstract: A device for chopping or mashing fish into chum or bait size pieces while the device is immersed in water at variable depths which operates by wave action or swells acting on a cutter slidably housed inside a perforated container and at one end being attached to a boat or other floating object and at the other having a weight. The perforated container has removable end caps and a stabilizer affixed to one end cap for stabilization in water. A cutting or chopping operation is effected by wave or swell action causing the boat or floating object to rise in the water causing the cutter to rise inside the stabilized container containing large pieces of fish until the cutter impacts fish against an end cap of the container. As the wave or swell recedes, the boat or floating object drops in the water and the weight affixed to the other end of the cutter causes the cutter to fall inside the stabilized container containing large pieces of fish until the cutter impacts fish against an end cap of the container.

  • Patent number: 4052580
    Abstract: A momentary contact push switch comprising a thin terminal board having spaced stationary contacts on a narrow intermediate region thereof. A bridging contact is positioned on the underside of a unitary plastic housing member. The housing member includes integral yieldable side skirts that extend downwardly from opposite sides and below opposite side edges of the intermediate region of the terminal board. Inwardly extending barbs or latch elements on the bottoms of both side skirts snap under the edges of the terminal board and hold the housing on the terminal board. Spring means extending between the terminal board and the bridging contact hold the bridging contact and housing member above the stationary contacts. A downward force on the housing member overcomes the spring force and brings the bridging contact into contact with spaced stationary contacts.
