Abstract
A fishing net mechanism with a supporting tubular frame and an inflatable floating assembly mounted thereon. A compressor in a vessel is connected to the inflatable floating assembly to submerge or bring afloat the fishing net mechanism. Two identical pairs of interlocking sections define the supporting tubular frame. Carrier assemblies slidably mounted to the supporting tubular frame hold the net member through an edge cable positioned at the rim. Upper and lower cables are used to control the position of the mechanism which is hoisted to the vessel. A constraining loop is controlled by the lower cable and when inside the vessel is allowed to release the netted fish.
Claims6
A fishing net mechanism, comprising:
- A. supporting tubular means including a plurality of cooperative interlocking sections that form a frame having first and second pairs of symmetrical opposing sides;
- B. a plurality of hook carrier assemblies mounted to said supporting tubular means;
- C. fishing net means having an upper edge mounted to said hook carrier assemblies;
- D. inflatable floating means mounted to said supporting tubular means and said inflatable floating means having sufficient capacity to cause said supporting tubular means to float when fully inflated;
- E. a source of compressed air connected to said inflatable floating means;
- and
- F. cable means for hoisting said mechanism and said cable means being connected to said supporting tubular means.
