G. L. MANN LANDING NET Filed May 8, 1929 INYENTOR 60/ 16/0 L. Man/7 BY 30 fl? (4W0, flTTORNEY STATES '1 FECE GARFIELD L. MANN, F SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, AEESIGNOR 0F ON E-HALF TO WILLIAM J. DIMICK, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON LANDING NET Application filed May 8, 1929,
This invention has reference to improvements in landing nets of the collapsible and telescopic variety such as are employed by anglers, in particular.
In such devices the net member is commonly secured directly to a single pair of bows designed to be collapsed and telescoped within a tube, and said member, owing to the resiliency of the bows, is subjected to frictional contact with the tube as it is slid back and forth therein, said contact being particularly aggravated at the points where it is fastened to said bows, with the result that the net becomes abraded and has a tendency to break loose from its support, thereby making it diiticult to nest it within the tube.
One of the objects of this invention is, to eliminate this disadvantage, and in furtherance of said object, I provide a landing net having such a tube and a pair of collapsible inner bows to which the net is secured and a pair of outer bows fastened to the inner bows and collapsible therewith, which serve to protect the net in its movements within the tube by keeping it out of tensional contact therewith; and also, to facilitate said movements in that the outer bows afford elements which slidably engage the tube more readily than if they carried the usual projecting portions of the net member.
Another object is, to provide in a device of this character more simpie means for positively securing the net member in open or closed position.
Other objects will appear as the description of the invention progresses.
In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a top view of the device with the collapsible bows thereof and the net member in extended positions, said member being shown in broken sect-ions;
Fig. 2, a top view of said device in a telescoped position, the tube thereof being partly broken away to indicate said bows and member collapsed and disposed in the tube;
Fig. 3, a side elevation of the same in extended position, the net member being broken away;
Fig. 4, a cross section drawn on the line 4-4, of Fig. 1, showing the tube, a block Serial No. 361,292.
to which said bowsare secured, and a thumbscrew threadedly engaging the block and slioa-bly engaging the tube, instrumental in opening and closing the device and for securing it in open or closed position; and,
Fig. 5, a view of said tube, sectionized and broken away, showing said block, the bows and the fastening elements by which they are secured to the block, said bows being also broken away.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 denotes a tube carrying at one end a swingingly mounted and yoke-like member 2 by which the device may be suspended. tube is provided with a longitudinal slot 3 which extends adjacent to each end thereof.
A pair-of what I term, inner bows and each designated as 4, are preferably made of thin. spring steel and apertured at intervals along their length, as at 5, for carrying a net. Said bows are secured to a pair of outer bows, each denoted as 6, the two pairs of bows being secured together and in alignment at certain of their end portions by the rivets 7, and a net 8 mounted to the inner bows, through the openings 5, or in any other suitable manner. The other end portions of said bows are each provided with a plurality of openings denoted as 9, the set of openings in each inner bow being aligned with a like set of openings in the contacting outer bow, and are secured to a block 10 by screws 11 extending through said openings and threadedly engaging the block. As it may be noted, the ends of the bows disposed inwardly are reversely curved, as at- 12, to facilitate the entrance of the bows into the tube.
Said block is provided with an interiorly threaded opening 13, and when the block, :arrying the parts ust described, is mounted in the tube at the forward end thereof, a thumbscrew 14.- is inserted through the slot 3 and brought into threaded engagement with the opening 13, the device now being completely assembled, and the tube disposed so as to function as a handle.
As is obvious, when the device is in open position, as shown in Fig. 1, said thumbscrew may be screwed tightly against the tube, the same serving to bring the edge portions 15 of said bows against the tube and in bracing engagement therewith, as indicated in Fig. 4, and thereby securely holding the block in place and the net in extended and operative position. hen it is desired to bring the device into closed position, as shown in Fig. 2, the thumbscrew is unscrewed from the block to the extent that it is brought out of contact with the tube, and it is then moved along the slot 3 until it reaches the rear end thereof, the thumbscrew serving as a handle for applying the necessary force in collapsing the bows and net and telescoping them into the tube, and also for securing them in closed positions when the thumbscrew is tightened against the tube. As is evident, a like manipulation of the thumbscrew and a reverse movement thereof in the slot, will bring the device again into open and operative position.
In the construction shown, the tube is open at each end, no caps being provided for said ends, as is usual in similar devices. his is advantageous in that it permits drainage and a circulation of air through the tube when the device is closed, useful in preventing deterioration of the netting and other parts from the injurious action of water or dampness incident to the use of a closed tube in such a structure.
This invention affords a landing net characterized by simplified parts which operate in a positive manner, and which not only lessen the cost of producing such a device, but increase the efficiency and durability thereof.
Changes in and modifications of the constr ction described may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages, hence it is desired that I be not confined to the specific structure set forth, except as limited by the appended claims.
I claim:
1. In alanding net, an open tube provided with a longitudinal slot, a net-supporting structure slidably engageable with the tube, comprising two pairs of collapsible and aligned spring bows having forward end portions reversely curved and provided with terminals extending in parallel relation, said terminals being fixedly secured together, and rearward end portions reversely curved and provided with terminals extending in spaced parallel relation, said last-named terminals being detachably secured to a block, anet attached to the inner pair of said bows. and a thumbscrew slidablv disposed in said slot and threadedly engaged with the block.
2. In a landing net, a tube provided with a longitudinal slot, a net-supporting structure slidably engageable with the tube, comprisa pair of collapsible inner bows, a pair of outer bows comformable to the inner bows and collapsible therewith and a shank block secured to the inner ends of said bows, a net mounted to the inner pair of bows, and means operating in the slot and said block for detachably securing said bows and net in collapsed condition in said tube and in extended operative position relative to the tube.
3. In a landing net having a tube adapted to function as a handle and as a casing for a not and supporting elements therefor, a netsupporting structure slidably engageable with the tube, comprising a pair of collapsible inner bows, a pair of outer bows conformable to the inner bows and collapsible therewith and a shank member for said bows, and a net
