Abstract
Abstract A holder unit for fastening a fishing pole to a flat surface, such as on a boat. The unit is in the form of a pair of wire loops fastenable about a fishing pole mounted on a base to which an expandable suction cup is fixed. A pivotable lever, that extends beyond the base, serves to expand the volume of the internal recess of the suction cup so as to create a clamping suction, when desired.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
181 words
A holder unit fitted with loop means for attachment to a fishing pole and with suction means for attachment to a flat surface, in which the suction means comprise an expandable flexible cup linked through its center by a pin to a pivotable lever, and in which the loop means comprise a pair of wire loops each shaped as a U-member, with both loops mounted to a base, wherein the flexible suction cup is mounted within a semi-flexible cup that is fixed to a hollow frame, which frame extends about the pivotable lever, with the base of the loop means pivotally mounted to the said frame at a location in which the center of rotation of the base with relation to the frame is an extension of the axis of the pin of the suction cup, so that the base rotates about an imaginary line extending through the center of the suction cup, and in which each of the wire loops of the base extends in an opposed direction to said center of rotation and the center of the suction cup.
