Rodholder for Trapper Canoe (Rugged, Simple and Cost Effective) · 模型 134089
Functionality considerations for this design... (1) User to have very simple control with ability to remove the rod quickly from holder [to work the angling magic] and re-attach quickly. (2) Ensure rod can't accidentally be knocked off the holder. (3) Analogue adjustability through with range of motion on a ball /socket joint - i.e. no digital detents on adjustment mechanism. This was done to fit the brand. Let's face it, open canoes are purposefully back to basics, as is angling. Paddling and fishing are never the same twice so why should the settings be on this unit? (4) Don't damage a shiny expensive canoe - this could end up in painfully expensive return of two products from the same client [the sort of thing gets an engineer sacked, and makes distributors run for the hills]. (5) If it needs instructions it's too complex - I aim that assembly is intuitive when it falls out of the packet. (6) Easy to adjust, remove or re-attach with one hand [without potential for schoolboy error like dropping one's rod and tackle into the drink]. This allows a free hand for landing net, reel work or holding a refreshing tin of beer. (7) Important to minimise scope for tangles, cuts, bruises, snags of line or buoyancy aid, damage to holder, especially when rod not fitted and canoe being lifted / loaded. During use, obviously the rod holder will be receiving more attention, so it's when rod holder is not being used that risk increases. Tried to make product benign when not in use in terms of aesthetics in addition to ergonomics. (8) Include a very simple Bite Indicator... although the 'scissor ball clamp' and associated mechanical advantage / interference has been thought out to be secure enough on it's own, you'll still see the little adjustable cord go taut when there's a nibble. When not using the rod, this cord is stowed by winding round the 2 "gunwale clamp" thumbscrews and popping the ring over the sphere on the clamp. [Sorry, hadn't time to model this bite indicator when stowed]. Materials / Manufacture... (a) Eco credentials very important. Avoid plastics, exception with small bought-in fasteners / bushes. Recycled plastic for structural parts not considered - even large percentage re-grind of a known material = poor repeatability with strength - that's before we get to longevity properties such as UV resistance. Aluminium alloy sand casting chosen for main components... little material waste and possible to recycle almost anything - old c...
