Abstract

A system for retrieval of objects submerged and lost in water is disclosed. The system comprises a gas release cartridge, an activation assembly arranged for activation of the gas release cartridge in response to at least one of: lapse of time, pressure, trigger-wire, indirect water contact, or remote acoustic command or any combination thereof, components of which are all contained in an inflatable bladder. A guide line, one end thereof attached to the bladder and the other end connectable to the object, is housed inside a non-watertight casing together with the inflatable bladder.

IPC Classes  ?

• B63B 22/12 - Anchoring arrangements having means to release or urge to the surface a buoy on submergence thereof, e.g. to mark location of a sunken object the surfacing of the buoy being assisted by a gas released or generated on submergence of the buoy
• B63C 7/26 - Means for indicating the location of underwater objects, e.g. sunken vessels
• A01K 69/08 - Rigid traps, e.g. lobster pots

Goods & Services

Electronic target surveillance apparatus, namely, marine object detectors and marking buoys used to locate and retrieve lost fishing equipment

Abstract

A system for retrieval of objects submerged and lost in water is disclosed. The system comprises a gas release cartridge (15; 25), an activation assembly (16; 17; 18; 19; 20; 21; 22; 23; 26) arranged for activation of the gas release cartridge in response to at least one of: lapse of time, pressure, trigger-wire, indirect water contact, or remote acoustic command or any combination thereof, components of which are all contained in an inflatable bladder (7). A guide line (6), one end thereof attached to the bladder and the other end connectable to the object, is housed inside a non-watertight casing (1) together with the inflatable bladder (7).
