Patent ID: 6996931

Claim:
A bullet shaped line clamp sinker movable between an open and closed condition comprising: a body composed of a bendable material, said body being cone shape and having a neutral surface, said body having a first end and a second end with said first end of said body being smaller than the second end of said body with said body having a smoothly converging exterior surface from said first end to said second end to form a streamline shape that inhibits snagging and propeller action as the body is pulled through a fluid; a first curved gripping surface on said body, said first curved gripping surface undulating through said body to provide a surface free of angled corners to thereby inhibit line damping, said first curved gripping surface extending from said first end to said second end, said first curved gripping surface having at least one surface contouring protrusion, said first curved gripping surface having a portion extending proximate a geometric center of said line clamp; and a second curved gripping surface on said body said second curved gripping surface undulating through said body to provide a surface free of angled corners to thereby inhibit line damping, said second curved gripping surface extending from said first end to said second end with said second curved gripping surface including a surface contouring recess mateable with said protrusion to produce a nonlinear path through said resilient body so that when said second curved gripping surface and said first curved gripping surface coact to grasp a line located therein to prevent the slippage of the line therein as the line is squeezed and held therebetween by bending said line clamp around the line.
