Alarm signal used in a fishing rod

Claim 2

An alarm signal used in a fishing rod comprising a line, a line suspension lever carrying said line and including a shaft pivotally mounted in a direction substantially at right angles with the fishing rod, a movable contact means and a fixed contact means operatively disposed relative to each other, said shaft is formed with a convex member projecting therefrom, a slidable axle, one end of said slidable axle abuts said movable contact means, the other end of said slidable axle is operatively positioned adjacent said convex member, a spring biasing said movable contact means against said one end of said slidable axle and in an inoperative position out of contact from said fixed contact means, said movable contact means operatively disposed relative to said slidable axle and said fixed contact means being positioned to touch each other when said line suspension lever is pivoted, a sound alarm and a pilot light alarm, an electric circuit including an electric cell connecting said alarms and connected to said movable contact means and to said fixed contact means in order to give out signals from said alarms when a fish is hooked on said line thereby pivoting said line suspension lever.

Claim 3

The alarm, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said line suspension lever is formed such that the line is detached from said line suspension lever when a fish pulls said line.

Claim 4

The alarm, as set forth in claim 2, wherein said line suspension lever comprises, a projecting piece mounted on said shaft, a small piece secured to said projecting piece, said pieces tapering away from each other in a direction towards their free ends forming an opening, and said line being detachably inserted in said opening.

Claim 5

An alarm signal used in a fishing rod comprising a line, a line suspension lever carrying said line and including a shaft pivotally mounted in a direction substantially at right angles with the fishing rod, a movable spring biased contact means operatively disposed movably by said line suspension lever and a fixed contact means disposed in the path of said movable contact means, a sound alarm and a pilot light alarm, an electric circuit including an electric cell connecting said alarms and connected to said movable contact means and to said fixed contact means, said fixed contact means having two spaced contacting parts, said movable contact means being movably positioned between said two spaced contacting parts so that said electric circuit connecting said alarms and said electric cell is closed to actuate said alarms whenever the fishing line carried by said line suspension lever is strained in any extent to cause said movable contact means to contact either of said two spaced contacting parts, and said two spaced contacting parts being oriented operatively relative to the direction of said line and said line suspension lever such that a slackening of said line causes said movable contact means to make contact with one of said two spaced contacting parts and a sudden jerking of said line causes said movable contact means to make contact with the other of said two spaced contacting parts.

Claim 6

An alarm signal used in a fishing rod comprising a line, a line suspension lever carrying said line and including a shaft pivotally mounted in a direction substantially at right angles with the fishing rod, a movable spring biased contact means operatively disposed movably by said line suspension lever and a fixed contact means disposed in the path of said movable contact means, a sound alarm and a pilot light alarm, an electric circuit including an electric cell connecting said alarms and connected to said movable contact means and to said fixed contact means, said fixed contact means having two spaced contacting parts, said movable contact means being movably positioned between said two spaced contacting parts so that said electric circuit connecting said alarms and said electric cell is closed to actuate said alarms whenever the fishing line carried by said line suspension lever is strained in any extent to cause said movable contact means to contact either of said two spaced contacting parts, and said two spaced contacting parts being oriented operatively relative to the direction of said line and said line suspension lever such that a slackening of said line causes said movable contact means to make contact with one of said two spaced contacting parts and a sudden jerking of said line causes said movable contact means to make contact with the other of said two spaced contacting parts.

Claim 7

An alarm signal used in a fishing rod comprising a line, a line suspension lever carrying said line and including a shaft pivotally mounted in a direction substantially at right angles with the fishing rod, a movable contact means operatively disposed relative to said line suspension lever and a fixed contact means being positioned to touch each other when said line suspension lever is pivoted, a sound alarm and a pilot light alarm, an electric circuit including an electric cell connecting said alarms and connected to said movable contact means and to said fixed contact means in order to give out signals from said alarms when a fish is hooked on said line thereby pivoting said line suspension lever, said line suspension lever is formed such that the line is detached from said line suspension lever when a fish pulls said line, said line suspension lever comprises, a projecting piece mounted on said shaft, a small piece secured to said projecting piece, said pieces tapering away from each other in a direction towards their free ends forming an opening, said line being detachably inserted in said opening, said shaft is formed with a convex member projecting therefrom, a slidable axle, one end of said slidable axle abuts said movable contact means, the other end of said slidable axle is operatively positioned adjacent said convex member, and a spring biasing said movable contact means against said one end of said slidable axle and in an inoperative position out of contact from said fixed contact means.

Claim 8

An alarm signal used in a fishing rod comprising a line, a line suspension lever carrying said line and including a shaft pivotally mounted in a direction substantially at right angles with the fishing rod, a movable contact means operatively disposed relative to said line suspension lever and a fixed contact means being positioned to touch each other when said line suspension lever is pivoted, a sound alarm and a pilot light alarm, an electric circuit including an electric cell connecting said alarms and connected to said movable contact means and to said fixed contact means in order to give out signals from said alarms when a fish is hooked on said line thereby pivoting said line suspension lever, said line suspension lever is formed such that the line is detached from said line suspension lever when a fish pulls said line, said line suspension lever comprises, a projecting piece mounted on said shaft, a small piece secured to said projecting piece, said pieces tapering away from each other in a direction towards their free ends forming an opening, said line being detachably inserted in said opening, said shaft is formed with a convex member projecting therefrom, a slidable axle, one end of said slidable axle abuts said movable contact means, the other end of said slidable axle is operatively positioned adjacent said convex member, and a spring biasing said movable contact means against said one end of said slidable axle and in an inoperative position out of contact from said fixed contact means.
