Abstract

The invention relates to a system for angling, said system comprising, at least a first unit and a second unit, which when assembled forms a part of an angling gear, characterized by, said system comprising, a releasable snap coupling assembly that can lock the first and the second units together. The system may comprise a first and a second unit, which when assembled forms a part of an angling gear with an enclosure in which a line can be mounted in such a way that the units can slide on the line in the longitudinal direction of the line. The first unit comprises a groove in which the line can be laid. The second unit comprises a portion made complementary to the groove such that the enclosure is created when the first and the second units are assembled. The system comprises a releasable snap coupling assembly that can lock the first and the second units together.

Claims (15)

1. A system for angling, comprising:

at least one first unit;

at least one second unit; and

a releasable snap coupling assembly for locking the at least one first unit and the at least one second unit together to form part of an angling gear,

wherein the releasable snap coupling assembly comprises a locking unit which is removably coupled to the at least one first unit and the at least one second unit,

wherein the part of the angling gear formed by the at least one first unit and the at least one second unit locked together defines a gap for releasably receiving the locking unit, and

wherein removal of the locking unit from the gap unlocks the at least one first unit from the at least one second unit.

2. The system for angling according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first unit comprises a plurality of mutually interchangeable first units.

3. The system for angling according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one second unit comprises a plurality of mutually interchangeable second units.

4. The system for angling according to claim 1 , wherein the locking unit is a spherical locking unit.

5. The system for angling according to claim 1 , wherein the part of the angling gear comprises an enclosure configured such that a line can be mounted therein, such that the at least one first unit and the at least one second unit can slide on the line in a longitudinal direction of the line, the at least one first unit comprising a groove in which the line can be laid, and the at least one second unit comprising a portion which is complementary to the groove such that the enclosure is defined by the at least one first unit and the at least one second unit being assembled together using the releasable snap coupling assembly.

6. The system for angling according to claim 1 , wherein the part of the angling gear comprises an enclosure configured such that a line can be mounted therein, such that the at least one first unit and the at least one second unit can slide on the line in a longitudinal direction of the line, the at least one first unit defining the enclosure and being configured such that the line can be laid therein, and wherein the at least one second unit is complementary to the at least one first unit such that the at least one first unit and the at least one second unit can be assembled together using the releasable snap coupling assembly.

7. The system for angling according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one additional locking unit, wherein the locking unit and the at least one additional locking unit each comprise a spherical locking unit, the locking unit and the at least one additional locking unit being selectively interchangeable and having different masses with respect to one another.

8. The system for angling according to claim 1 , further comprising a spoon releasably mounted on the part of the angling gear.

9. The system for angling according to claim 8 , wherein the spoon is releasably locked to the part of the angling gear by the locking unit.
