Abstract: A bobbin is provided, which includes a main body, a first block board, a second block board, and at least one guiding member. The main body extends along an axis. The first block board and the second block board circumferentially surround ends of the main body and radially extend from the main body, respectively. The guiding member is formed on the first block board or the second block board and comprises a dummy pin, radially extending from the first block board or the second block board.

Abstract: A device is provided for winding wire into a coil. The device includes a shaft for turning on an axis; a hub attached to the shaft; inner and outer wheels; a mandrel having an outer radial surface for looping the wire; and a guide connectable to the mandrel and extending past the inner wheel. The shaft is structurally supported by a housing. The inner wheel, mandrel and outer wheel are removably fastened to the hub, the wire passes along the guide and lays along the radial surface of the mandrel, and the shaft rotates for looping the wire around the mandrel. The shaft can be rotated either manually or by a motor. A system is provided that includes the winding device, and further includes a wire-feed device, particularly for arranging several strands of wire into a ribbon.

Abstract: A device comprising: (a) a body portion including: (i) a first end and ii. a second end; (b) a holder at the first end; (c) a holder at the second end; (d) a rotation device at the first end in communication with the holder at the first end; and wherein the holder is fixedly attached to a split gear having a channel therethrough so that one or more flexible mediums may be placed through the channel and removed from a work area located between the holder at the first end and the holder at the second end.

Abstract: A fly tying apparatus includes a base abutting a support surface and a stanchion attached to and extending upwardly from the base. A rotational assembly is rotatably mounted on the stanchion. A fly gripping assembly is mounted to the rotational assembly. The fly gripping assembly includes a jaw mount attached to the rotational assembly. The jaw mount includes a mounting collar. A jaw assembly is mounted to the jaw mount. The jaw assembly engages a bend of a fish hook. The jaw assembly is slidably mounted in the mounting collar. The jaw assembly comprises a pair of jaws, a first adjustment assembly configured to selectively angle the jaws with respect to each other, and a second adjustment assembly configured to selectively alter a distance between the jaws.

Abstract: A device for rotating the shack of a fishhook about its axis comprising a mandrel rotatable about a predetermined axis of rotation, a base which includes means for rotatably mounting said mandrel, a first shaft extension, and means for pivotally mounting said first shaft extension on one end of said mandrel, said first shaft extension having a shaft axis which intersects the axis of rotation of said mandrel and is repositionable relative thereto clamping means mounted on an outer end of said first shaft extension comprising jaws for gripping said fishhook a rotatable cam have a spiral cam surface which engage confronting spherical surfaces on the confronting interfaces of the jaws whereby rotation of said cam in one direction causes the jaws to close and rotation of cam element in the opposition element causes the tips of the jaws to open.
