COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Artificial Baits for Fishing Purposes.
I, SAMUEL ALLCOCK, trading as S. Allcock & Co. of the Standard Works,
Redditch in the County of Worcester Fishing Tackle Manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
"
This invention particularly refers to the "mountings or flights of hooks
belonging to the class of artificial baits known as "Devons" or "Angel minnows"
and consists in the adoption of a split ring made of phosphor bronze or other
material, to which is attached rustproofed or other ringed treble or double fish
hooks by means of the eye on the shank of the hook running on the split ring, the
split ring being attached to the swivel that passes through the mouth of the bait
when in use by silkworm gut, wire or any other suitable material. The extended
mounting or trace at the tail of the bait, consists of one or more sets of treble or
double hooks bound on to the hook which is attached to the split ring by means
of gut, silk or suitable materials or can be brazed or soldered on. In making the
whole of the mounting or trace, twisted or single wire with loops is used, to slip
through the eyes or rings of the hooks and then passed over one of the bends of
the double or treble hooks.
