1. An underwater fish-luring device comprising:
a plurality of levers, a torsion spring, and an acoustic generator;
wherein the torsion spring and the acoustic generator attach to the plurality of levers;
wherein the acoustic generator makes a sound that is configured to be similar to a noise produced by a lobster so as to lure fish towards the underwater fish-luring device;
wherein the plurality of levers comprises a first lever and a second lever, each of the first and second levers having a first end, a second free end, and a center axis;
wherein the first lever further comprises a first grip at the second free end thereof;
wherein the second lever further comprises a second grip at the second free end thereof;
wherein the first grip is a cushion that attaches to the second free end of the first lever;
wherein the second grip is a cushion that attaches to the second free end of the second lever;
wherein the torsion spring comprises a first end, a second end, and a center axis;
wherein the first lever attaches to the first end of the torsion spring at the first end of the first lever;
wherein the second lever attaches to the second end of the torsion spring at the first end of the second lever;
wherein the acoustic generator comprises an abrasive surface and a scraping structure;
wherein the abrasive surface attaches to the first lever of the plurality of levers at an intermediate location on the first lever between the first and second ends of the first lever;
wherein the abrasive surface extends from the intermediate location on the first lever so as to be perpendicular to the center axis of the first lever;
wherein the abrasive surface is formed with an abrasive face;
wherein the scraping structure attaches to the second lever of the plurality of levers at an intermediate location on the second lever between the first and second ends of the second lever;
wherein the scraping structure comprises a rectangular hollow shape which extends from the intermediate location on the second lever so as to be perpendicular to the center axis of the second lever;
wherein the abrasive surface extends from the first lever toward the second lever and also extends within the rectangular hollow shape, the abrasive surface and rectangular hollow shape being movable with respect to each other;
wherein the scraping structure attaches to the second lever such that a congruent end of the scraping structure is in physical contact with the abrasive face of the abrasive surface, the congruent end of the scraping structure located within the rectangular hollow shape;
wherein the plurality of levers receives an externally provided motive force from a user during use;
wherein the plurality of levers transfers the externally provided motive force to the acoustic generator;
wherein the acoustic generator converts the received externally provided motive force into acoustic energy;
wherein the scraping structure attaches to the second lever such that the abrasive face of the scraping structure rubs against the abrasive face of the abrasive surface as the received externally provided motive force moves the relative positions of the first lever and the second lever;
wherein the energy required to rub the scraping structure against the abrasive surface while the underwater fish-luring device is submerged under water converts the externally provided motive force into the energy necessary to generate an acoustic turbulence in the water that is configured to attract fish;
wherein the acoustic turbulence generated by the abrasive surface and the scraping structure transmits acoustic waves.
