Abstract
Abstract The device comprises a bifurcated body, with two legs bendable toward or from one another, a plastic sheave arranged for rotation on an axis in the slot between the two legs, and means for adjustably clamping the two legs together for adjustment of holding effort exerted on the sheave to stay in its normal place of rotation between the two legs. When a jerk of predetermined strength is exerted on the line by a striking fish, the guide pulley is jerked from between the holding legs, and drops in the water. The line is thus freed, and thereafter extends directly rearward from the tip of the fishing pole.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A fishing line guide releasable by a jerk on the line of predetermined magnitude, comprising: a body having a slot therein, a fishing line sheave rotatable on said body in said slot, means mounting the sheave for rotation in the slot for release of the sheave from the slot in response to a jerk in a fishing line looped about said sheave.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A fishing line guide releasable by a jerk on the line of predetermined magnitude, comprising: a body having a slot therein, a fishing line sheave rotatable on said body in said slot, means mounting the sheave for rotation in the slot for release of the sheave from the slot in response to a jerk in a fishing line looped about said sheave.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
77 words
The subject matter of claim 1, wherein said body is made of a resilient material and said body comprises two legs on opposite sides of said slot which are elastically bendable apart or together under separating or closing stress, respectively, the means mounting the sheave in the slot comprising on each side of the sheave, and at the adjacent side of said leg, and centered on the axis of rotation, a protuberance and a socket paired therewith.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
The subject matter of claim 2 including also a clamp screw adjustably connecting said legs and adapted to draw said legs toward one another and against the sides of the sheave to apply a predetermined clamping force on said sheave.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
94 words
The subject matter of claim 1, wherein said body is made of a resilient material and said body comprises two legs on opposite sides of said slot which are elastically bendable apart or together under separating or closing stress, respectively, the means mounting the sheave in the slot comprising transverse sockets in said legs on the axis of the sheave, and axial protuberances on said sheave receivable in said sockets, and an adjustable clamp screw passing freely through one of said legs and screw-threaded into a screwthread bore in the other of said legs.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
The subject matter of claim 4, wherein said sockets in said legs comprise aligned bores therethrough, and said protuberances comprise convex heads engageable in the inner ends of said bores.
