Abstract
Abstract A fish lure having an elongated hollow body of light refracting plastic material with smoothly curved sidewalls which terminate at one or both ends with an oblique face to provide a circle of emitted light. The surfaces of the body are also provided along the bottom thereof with a pair of ribs extending substantially the full length of the body with relatively narrow outwardly facing, light emitting surfaces disposed obliquely to the adjacent wall surfaces. Interiorly of the body is a rollable ''''knocker'''' ball, a spinner or a quantity of salmon eggs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A fish lure comprising an elongated hollow body of light refracting plastic material having smoothly curved light transmitting sidewalls, said sidewalls terminating circumferentially of the body in a radially outwardly facing rib face extending longitudinally of the body, said sidewalls also terminating at one end of the body in a generally radially extending end face, said rib and end faces each being disposed at an oblique angle to the adjaceNt curved surfaces of said sidewalls and of relatively narrow width, whereby light rays entering said body are refracted and transmitted through the sidewalls thereof to said rib and end faces and emitted therefrom with intensified brilliance.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
A fish lure comprising an elongated hollow body of light refracting plastic material having smoothly curved light transmitting sidewalls, said sidewalls terminating circumferentially of the body in a radially outwardly facing rib face extending longitudinally of the body, said sidewalls also terminating at one end of the body in a generally radially extending end face, said rib and end faces each being disposed at an oblique angle to the adjaceNt curved surfaces of said sidewalls and of relatively narrow width, whereby light rays entering said body are refracted and transmitted through the sidewalls thereof to said rib and end faces and emitted therefrom with intensified brilliance.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
The invention of claim 1, wherein said rib face is duplicated by a second, parallel rib face extending longitudinally of the body, said rib faces being located adjacent the bottom of the body and spaced from each other, whereby the light rays emitted therefrom are directed downwardly and laterally of the lure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The invention of claim 1, wherein said end face is located at the rear of the body and, said curved sidewalls also terminate forwardly in an oblique front face, whereby a portion of said refracted light rays is transmitted to and emitted from said front face.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
110 words
The invention of claim 3, including a chamber disposed in the forward end of the body, the entrance to said chamber being defined by said body front face, a transverse wall extending radially inward from said curved sidewalls and spaced rearwardly of the body from said front face to define the rearward extremity of said chamber, said front face being inclined generally forwardly and upwardly relative to the transverse wall and means for connecting a fish line to the lower portion of the body adjacent its forward end, whereby the lure tends to undergo an upwardly bobbing motion pursuant to being drawn forwardly through the water at an accelerated rate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
The invention of claim 4, including a rear wall adjacent said end face, said transverse and rear walls defining an internal chamber within the body, and a knocker element within said internal chamber and having freedom of motion to move into alternate striking abutment with said transverse wall and rear wall in response to accelerating and decelerating forward motions of the lure in operation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
62 words
The invention of claim 4, including a rear wall adjacent said end face, said transverse and rear walls having perforations accommodating flow of water through the body, and spinner means within the body including a shaft extending between said transverse and rear walls and a light reflecting spinner element rotatable upon said shaft in response to flow of water through the body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
65 words
The invention of claim 4, including a rear wall adjacent said end face, said transverse and rear walls having perforations accommodating flow of water through the body, and a quantity of salmon eggs disposed within the body between said transverse and rear walls, whereby a trail of salmon egg oil is discharged from the lure as the body is drawn through the water in operation.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
47 words
The invention of claim 2, wherein said end face is located at the rear of the body and said curved sidewalls also terminate forwardly in an oblique front face, whereby a portion of said refracted light rays is also transmitted to and emitted from said front face.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
57 words
The invention of claim 3, wherein a second rib face extends longitudinally of the body, generally parallel with said first named rib face, said rib faces being located adjacent the bottom of the body and spaced circumferentially of the body from each other, whereby the light rays emitted therefrom are directed downwardly and laterally of the lure.
