(under subclass 42) Lures which (1) give off, in their passage through the water, an attracting material originally contained within or on the body, and/or (2) which have an inlet and outlet for the passage therethrough of water through which the lure is moving.
(1) Note. The attracting material given off may be a colored liquid, a scent, gas bubbles produced by chemical action, etc.
(2) Note. The water passage through the lure may produce such effects as diving, spinning, guiding, bubbling, movement of flexible parts, etc., or aid in the dissemination of the attracting material.
(3) Note. Those flat bodies, such as spoons, which are apertured for the flow there through of water, the apertures having no other function, such as spinner, line or hook receiving, are included in this subclass.
(4) Note. The channel for the passage of water through a solid body not giving off an attracting material must be closed at least in part, not a mere groove, though it may be a groove with a closure plate.
