Crabbing bait holder
| Details |
Inventors: Kuhn, Thomas J.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Seidel; Richard K.
Assistant Examiner: Elpel; Jeanne M.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Brodsky; Charles I.
A crabbing bait holder comprises a frame including a pair of joined planar members foldably openable to add a solid bait therebetween and foldably closable to hold the bait in position, with a plurality of eyeholes and locking tab lengths about the top, bottom and side edges of the frame to secure the planar members at a distance varying with the thickness of the bait held in place. The frame may be raised or lowered into the water by a drop-line, fed manually or from a reel, and is in the general shape of an open grid constructed of a rigid nature to support the weight of one or more crabs holding onto the frame with their claws while eating at the bait inside. A further weight, included where the drop-line joins the folded-over planar members, steadies the frame against water currents and the chomping actions of the crab when eating. Upon raising the frame from the water, any crabs holding onto the frame can be simply scooped off. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING In the drawing the crabbing bait holder 10 comprises a frame 12 including a pair of joined planar members 14, 16, which are openable and closable about a fold line 18.
Preferably constructed of a low density polyethylene or ABS plastic material, the frame 12 is shown in the general shape of an open grid construction 20 within which a solid bait fish 22 is to be held.
Intended to be molded, the frame 12 includes a plurality - - - in this case five - - - of locking tab lengths 24 extending from its top edge 26 and a like number of eyeholes 28 extending from its bottom edge 30.
As shown, the locking tab lengths 24 include a series of spaced apart tab protrusions 32 oriented to be passed through an aligned key arrangement 34 in each of the eyeholes 28, and to then be secured thereby once released.
Reference numerals 100, 101, 102, 103, 104 in FIG.
1 thus correspond to the locking tab lengths 24 going from left-to-right in FIG.
2 passing through the eyeholes 28 when the planar members 14, 16 are folded into the plane of the paper about the fold line 18.
Also shown in FIG.
2 are further locking tab lengths 38 with their own tab protrusions 40 and similar eyeholes 42 with their key arrangements 44, although fewer in number than the corresponding locking tab lengths 24 and eyeholes 28 - - - two in number as compared with five in number.
Shown as extending from the side edges 46,48 of the frame 12, these locking tab lengths 38 are inserted through the eyeholes 42 to close off the crabbing bait holder 10 after the planar members 14, 16 are folded over about the fold line 18.
As will be appreciated, reference numeral 105 in FIG.
1 corresponds to the insertion of the locking tab length 38 passing through the eyehole 42 at the side edge 46 of FIG.
2, while reference numeral 106 identifies the locking tab length 38 passing through the eyehole 42 at the side edge 48 of FIG.
2.
As will be appreciated, the number of tab protrusions 32 and 40 which extend through their respective key arrangements 34 and 44 depend upon the thickness of the bait fish 22, in establishing the distance between the planar members 14, 16 in securing the bait in place
