Fishing line guide for net assembly
View Patent ↗A fishing line guide for net assembly, made of a line guide assembly and a securing mechanism assemblies that is removably attaches onto a net. The line guide assembly has a hook with a distal end on one side and a vertical bar on the other. The vertical bar also has a corner with a horizontal bar and a proximal end. The securing mechanism assemblies are welded onto the horizontal bar. The securing mechanism assemblies have a distal bracket holding a bolt hinge. The distal bracket has a distal clearance notch. The distal clearance notch provides clearance for a bolt stem inserted into the bolt hinge to move. The securing mechanism assemblies also has a proximal bracket. The bolt stem which passes through the distal and the proximal brackets. The bolt stem culminates in a bolt head separated from the proximal bracket by a spacer.
1 . A fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly, comprising:
A) a line guide assembly comprising a hook, said hook comprises a distal end of the line guide assembly at one end of the hook and a vertical bar at an other end of the hook, said vertical bar defining a corner with a horizontal bar at one end of said horizontal bar and an other end of said horizontal bar comprises a proximal end of the line guide assembly, whereby a predetermined angle is defined between said vertical bar and said horizontal bar whereby said corner is a vertex of said angle, wherein said hook comprises a first section extending away from the vertical bar at the other end of the hook toward an intermediate section of said hook and a second section that both extends back toward the vertical bar from said intermediate section of said hook and terminates at the distal end of the line guide assembly, and wherein said first section, intermediate section, and second section define an opening of said line guide assembly; and
B) securing mechanism assemblies that are removably attached onto a handle of the net assembly, said securing mechanism assemblies comprise distal brackets holding bolt hinges and proximal brackets, said distal brackets have distal clearance notches, said securing mechanism assemblies are fixed onto said horizontal bar, said distal clearance notches provide clearance for bolt stems inserted into said bolt hinges allowing them to move, said securing mechanism assemblies are adjustable in order to accommodate said handle of said net assembly of any dimension, said securing mechanism assemblies are fixed onto said horizontal bar by welding to said horizontal bar.
2 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 1 , wherein said bolt stems pass through said distal brackets and said proximal brackets.
3 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 1 , wherein said bolt stems culminate in bolt heads separated from said proximal brackets by spacers.
4 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 3 , wherein said spacers maintain a consistent distance between said proximal brackets and said bolt heads.
5 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 3 , wherein said bolt heads attach to latch hinges attached to latches in order to give said latches mobility.
6 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 5 , wherein said latches are used to securely attach said securing mechanism assemblies to said handle of said net assembly.
7 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 5 , wherein said latches comprise thumb holds.
8 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 7 , wherein said thumb holds allow for easier closure of said latches.
9 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 1 , wherein each of said securing mechanism assemblies contain a second spacer.
10 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 9 , wherein said second spacer protects said handle of said net assembly in the event said securing mechanism assemblies are overtightened.
11 . The fishing line guide in combination with a net assembly set forth in claim 1 , wherein there are at least two of said securing mechanism assemblies.
