Abstract
Abstract The disclosure relates to an archery bow fishing reel and mount and particularly to a generally loop shaped or ring shaped mount in which a fishing reel is mounted and which is disposed to dispense line forwardly through a generally loop shaped line guide structure which is surrounded by a buoyant line holding spool; the frame also having a guide adapted to guide line extending from the open forward end of the spool backward to an attachment with an arrow and in shooting position relative to the bow on which the reel supporting frame is mounted; the reel supporting frame adapted to support various types of reels and used for dispensing directly from such a reel through the line guide and through a bore in the aforementioned spool such that line may be dispensed directly in a forward direction from a spinning reel or the like held by said frame and through said spool or whereby the line may be first dispensed from the reel and then wound around the spool preliminary to shooting an arrow with line attached thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
An archery bow fishing reel and mount comprising: a frame adapted to be secured to the forward portion of an archery bow; first means for fixing said frame on said forward portion of an archery bow; said frame comprising a generally loop shaped structure having a rearward portion at which said means supports the same on said bow; a reel mount disposed in said generally loop shaped structure and adapted to support a line winding reel therein; said frame having a forward portion provided with second loop shaped structure; said second loop shaped structure disposed to receive fishing line therethrough from said line winding reel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
An archery bow fishing reel and mount comprising: a frame adapted to be secured to the forward portion of an archery bow; first means for fixing said frame on said forward portion of an archery bow; said frame comprising a generally loop shaped structure having a rearward portion at which said means supports the same on said bow; a reel mount disposed in said generally loop shaped structure and adapted to support a line winding reel therein; said frame having a forward portion provided with second loop shaped structure; said second loop shaped structure disposed to receive fishing line therethrough from said line winding reel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
127 words
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein: a hollow cylindrical spinning spool surrounds said second loop shaped structure and is supported thereon; said spool having a bore which is provided with an axis disposed in a forward and rearward direction relative to said frame; said bore adapted to receive said line therethrough; said spool having a forward open end and a line receiving peripheral portion disposed rearwardly from said open end, whereby line may be dispensed from said line winding reel and may be wound around said line receiving peripheral portion in a readily dispensable coil whereby said line at its end may extend in a rearward direction from said coil to an attachment with an arrow in shooting position with respect to said archery bow.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
The invention as defined in claim 2, wherein: said spool, at its forward open portion, is provided with a line engaging notch so as to provide a line holding means when line from said winding reel is being wound around said spool to form a dispensable coil thereon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The invention as defined in claim 2, wherein: said spool is of light weight bouyant material adapted to float in water and to bouyantly support said frame and said line winding reel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
The invention as defined in claim 2, wherein: a generally U-shaped line guide is supported on said frame in a position rearward relative to said spool for engagement with line extending rearwardly from said spool to an attachment with an arrow in shooting position relative to said bow.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
82 words
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein: said generally loop shaped structure of said frame surrounds said reel mount; said reel mount being offset relative to said second loop shaped structure so as to support a reel in aligned position to dispense line through said second loop shaped structure; said mount having adjustable reel support means adapted to vary the offset position thereof so as to readily support various spinning reels as well as level wind reels in said aligned position.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
63 words
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein: said generally loop shaped structure of said frame is provided with a pair of forwardly extending portions; and said second loop shaped structure being fixed to said forwardly extending portions; said last mentioned loop shaped structure comprising a plurality of generally ring shaped members disposed in a forward and rearward spaced relation to each other.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
126 words
The invention as defined in claim 7, wherein: a hollow cylindrical spinning spool surrounds said second loop shaped structure and is supported thereon; said spool having a bore which is provided with an axis disposed in a forward and rearward direction relative to said frame; said bore adapted to receive line therethrough; said spool having a forward open end and a line receiving peripheral portion disposed rearwardly from said open end, whereby line may be dispensed from said line winding reel and may be wound around said line receiving peripheral portion in a readily dispensable coil whereby said line at its end may extend in a rearward direction from said coil to an attachment with an arrow in shooting position with respect to said archery bow.
