Definitions
- This invention relates to a collapsible trap.
- the invention has been devised particularly, although not necessarily solely, as a crustacean trap.
- the crustacean trap, according to the invention is particularly suitable for trapping crabs, and more particularly mud crabs.
- collapsible traps are available for both recreational and commercial crabbing activities.
- the collapsible nature of the traps allows them to assume a collapsed condition for storage and transportation, and an erected condition for use.
- Traps for crabbing are commonly referred to as crab pots and typically comprise a frame structure and netting attached to the frame structure.
- the netting and the frame structure cooperate to provide an enclosure defining an entrapment zone into which crabs can readily enter but from which they can not readily exit.
- the frame structure generally includes at least one peripheral frame configured as a ring.
- the peripheral frame is rigid and the netting can collapse against the rigid frame. Because the peripheral frame is rigid, it limits the extent to which the crab pot can be collapsed. While the netting can collapse against the rigid frame, the rigid frame in itself is not collapsible. Accordingly, the collapsed crab pot is of a size in the collapsed position corresponding to the size of the peripheral frame.
- a collapsible trap comprising a frame structure having an axis, and pliant material associated with the frame structure, the frame structure comprising a plurality of elongate frame elements, the frame structure having a retracted condition in which the frame elements extend generally parallel to said axis and an extended condition in which the frame elements extend outwardly of the axis giving form and shape to the pliant material to provide an enclosure defining an entrapment zone.
- the pliant material can be wrapped about the frame structure (around said axis) to assume a compact condition for storage and transportation. This corresponds to the collapsed condition of the trap. In the collapsed condition, the trap occupies a volume substantially less than the volume occupied in the erected position
- the pliant material When the frame structure is in the erected condition, the pliant material is extended to define the entrapment zone. This corresponds to the erected condition of the trap.
- the enclosure may be configured as a cage having a bottom and wall means upstanding from the bottom to enclose the sides and top of the entrapment zone.
- the enclosure may be configured as a pen having a bottom, side wall means upstanding from the bottom, and an open top.
- the pliant material comprises netting.
- the elongate elements are pivotally moveable between the retracted and extended conditions.
- the frame elements may be each mounted for pivotal movement and connected one to another by a flexible link at a location spaced from the first end thereof.
- the frame elements are connected one to another by the flexible link at a second end thereof opposed to the first end.
- the flexible links comprises an inextensible cable such as a steel cable.
- an actuating mechanism is provided for pivotally moving the elongate frame elements between the retracted and extended conditions.
- the actuating mechanism comprises a plurality of struts each connected to one of the elongate frame elements at a location intermediate the first end and the flexible link.
- the respective strut is connected to the elongate element at a location, intermediate the first and second ends thereof.
- the flexible link preferably serves to limit outward pivotal movement of each frame element beyond a certain extent, whereby further outward biasing action of the strut induces an outward deflection in the frame element. This causes the frame element to assume a curved profile.
- each strut is pivotally connected at one end thereof to its respective frame element and is pivotally connected at the other end thereof to adjacent ends of other struts. More preferably, each strut is pivotally connected at said other end to a common element functioning as an actuating yoke.
- the first ends of the elongate frame elements are pivotally connected together. More preferably the first ends of the frame elements are pivotally connected to a common element functioning as a supporting yoke. - A -
- the trap further comprises a haul line which is connected to the (lower) actuating yoke and on which the (upper) supporting yoke is slidably supported.
- a haul line which is connected to the (lower) actuating yoke and on which the (upper) supporting yoke is slidably supported.
- one yoke incorporates a spigot which is adapted to be received in a mating socket in the other yoke when the frame structure is in the extended condition.
- the socket and spigot are configured to resist rotation therebetween when in mating engagement.
- the enclosure is configured as a cage
- at least one opening for entry of a target animal such as a crab
- the cage has four sides, there is preferably an entry opening in each one of the four sides.
- the or each entry opening comprises an entry end which opens onto the exterior of the enclosure, an exit end which opens onto the entrapment zone, and a throat section which extends between the entry and exit ends and which tapers inwardly in the direction towards the exit end.
- the entry opening is configured as a funnel.
- At least two of the openings may be linked one to another by at least one cable extending about the periphery of each opening.
- the cable interconnection between the entry openings allows one opening to enlarge to accommodate entry of a large size target animal (such as a large crab), with surplus cable material being supplied to accommodate the enlargement by contraction of that part of the cable about one or more of the other entry openings.
- the enclosure comprises a cage
- a retrieval access way for retrieval of an animal trapped in the enclosure.
- the retrieval access way may comprise an opening in the bottom of the enclosure and a closure flap located against the opening.
- a retrieval path can be formed by separating the bottom and the flap.
- the opening in the bottom is provided adjacent one edge of the bottom and the closure flap is located on the underside of the bottom.
- the bottom is attached to the flexible link except at a location where the opening in the bottom is desired.
- the closure flap is connected to the flexible link and there is an overlapping relationship between the closure flap and the bottom.

- the crab pot 10 includes a haul line 11 , the free end of which is adapted to be attached to an anchoring point (not shown) such as buoy, boat or jetty.
- the pot 10 is intended to be deployed in a body of water at a location where crabs are to be caught.
- the pot 10 rests on the floor of the body of water and can be retrieved simply by hauling it upwardly by way of the haul line 11.
- the collapsible pot 10 comprises a frame structure 13 and netting 15 attached to the frame structure.
- the frame structure 13 is movable between a retracted condition (which corresponds to the collapsed condition of the crab pot 10) and an extended condition (which corresponds to the erected condition of the crab pot). In the extended condition, the frame structure 13 gives form and shape to the netting 15 to provide an enclosure 17 defining an entrapment zone 19. When the frame structure 13 is in the retracted condition, portions of the netting 15 drape from the frame structure 13 and can be wrapped therearound, as shown in Figure 2.
- the enclosure 17 is configured as a cage, having a bottom 21 and wall means 23 upstanding from the bottom to enclose the sides and top of the entrapment zone 19.
- the bottom 21 is of generally rectangular configuration.
- the side wall means 23 is of a generally dome configuration and the wall means 23 comprises four sidewalls 25, one corresponding to each side of the bottom 21.
- the netting 15 comprises various sections of net material, one being a rectangular mesh panel 22 providing the enclosure bottom 21 and others being mesh panels
- the various mesh panels 22, 26 are secured to the frame structure 13 in any suitable way, such as binding.
- the binding may comprise degradable material such as cotton. This ensures that the pot 10 will become ineffective after some time underwater in the event that it is lost.
- Each sidewall 25 has an entry opening 27 through which crabs can enter the enclosure 17.
- the entry openings 27 are configured to facilitate entry of crabs into the entrapment zone 19 within the enclosure 17 while also impeding any subsequent escape from the entrapment zone.
- Each entry opening 27 comprises an entry end 28 which opens onto the exterior of the enclosure 17, an exit end 29 which opens onto the entrapment zone 19 within the enclosure, and a throat section 30 which extends between the entry end 28 and the exit end 29.
- the exit end 29 is smaller than the entry end 28 and the throat section 30 tapers inwardly towards the exit end 29, as best seen in Figures 18 and 21.
- each entry opening 27 is configured as a funnel extending into the entrapment zone 19.
- Each entry opening 27 is adapted to expand to accommodate entry of crabs of a relatively large size. This is achieve by way of two lines 91 , 93 interconnecting each of the entry openings 27.
- Line 91 is an upper line which incorporates four loop formations 95, one extending around the periphery of each exit end 29 and interlaced with the netting about the exit end.
- line 93 is a lower line which also incorporates four loop formations 96, one extending around the periphery of each exit end 29 and interlaced with the netting about the exit end.
- each entry opening 27 is coupled to the other entry openings 27 through the two lines 91 , 93.
- the loop formations 95, 96 allow the exit ends 29 to expand and contract according to tension applied to the lines 91 , 93.
- any one of the entry openings 27 can be expanded by expansion of the two loop formations 95, 96 extending therearound with surplus line material required for the expansion being achieved upon corresponding contraction of loop formations around other entry openings.
- This is depicted in Figure 20 where entry opening 27a is shown in an expanded condition to accommodate entry of a crab.
- the other entry openings 27b have contracted to accommodate expansion of opening 27a.
- each entry opening 27 is created by the constraining action of the two loop formations 95, 96 around the exit end 29 thereof. More particularly, each entry opening 27 comprises an aperture 97 in the netting 15 and the two loop formations 95, 96 interlaced with the netting 15 about the aperture. The two loop formations 95, 96 cooperate to provide a hoop 98 around the periphery of the aperture 97.
- the lines 91 , 92 are under tension, causing the hoop 98 to contract the aperture 97 and thereby cause the marginal portion 99 of the netting 15 about the aperture to deform to assume the funnel configuration.
- the lines 91 , 93 are slidingly interconnected by sleeves 99 which assist in forming the hoops 98.
- Each sleeve 99 may comprise a knot formation in one of the lines 91 , 93.
- the frame structure 13 comprises a plurality of elongate frame elements 31.
- there are four elongate frame elements 31 one corresponding to each of the four corners of the enclosure 17.
- Each elongate frame element 31 comprises a rigid yet resiliently deflectable rod 33.
- the rod 33 is formed of metal, although it may also be formed of other appropriate materials including plastic materials.
- Each rod 33 has a first end 35 configured as a bracket 36 and a second end 37 configured as an eye 38.
- the rod 33 also includes two intermediate twisted loop formations 41 , 43.
- Loop formation 41 provides part of a hinge as will be explain later, and loop formation 43 provides one anchoring point for attachment of the netting 15 to the frame structure 13.
- Each rod 33 is pivotally connected by way of bracket 36 at the first end 35 thereof to a common hub 45 configured as a yoke 47 having a central opening 49 extending therethrough.
- the yoke 47 has an outer periphery 51 configured to be gripped between the fingers and thumb of one hand of a user, as will be explained in more detail later. Further, the outer periphery 51 incorporates a circumferential groove 52 accommodating a cable 54 which provides a hinge pin passing through a hole 38 in the bracket 36.
- the elongate frame elements 31 are pivotally movable with respect to the yoke 47 between a retracted position in which they lie substantially along side one another generally parallel to the central axis of the frame structure 13, and an extended condition in which they extend outwardly of the central axis.
- the elongate frame elements 31 are connected one to another at the second end 37 of the rods 33 by a flexible link 53 in the form of an endless steel cable 54 which is threaded through the eyes 38.
- the flexible link 33 serves to limit the extent to which the elongate frame elements 31 can pivot outwardly and also defines the rectangular configuration of the bottom 21.
- An actuating mechanism 55 is provided for pivotally moving the elongate elements 31 between the retracted and extend conditions.
- the actuating mechanism 55 comprises a plurality of rigid struts 57, each pivotally connected at one end to one of the elongate frame elements 31 and pivotally connected at the other end to a common hub 59.
- the hub 59 provides an actuating yoke 61.
- Each strut 57 is pivotally connected to its respective elongate frame elements 31 at the loop formation 41 provided on the elongate frame element.
- the strut 57 is provided with a hook formation 63 at the end thereof for engagement in the loop formation 41 to provide a hinge connection between the strut and the elongate frame element.
- each strut 57 is configured as a bracket 65 incorporating a hole through which a cable 67 is threaded to hingedly secure the strut to the yoke 61.
- the cable 67 is accommodated in a peripheral groove 69 in the yoke 61.
- the supporting yoke 47 is above the actuating yoke 61.
- the actuating yoke 61 is provided with an upstanding post 71 , the free upper end of which incorporates and anchoring hole 73 to which the bottom end of the haul line 11 is attached.
- the haul line 11 passes through the central opening 49 in the (upper) supporting yoke 47.
- the central opening 49 provides a clearance fit of the supporting yoke 47 on the haul line 11 , whereby the yoke 47 can slide axially along the haul line. With this arrangement, sliding movement of the supporting yoke 47 along the haul line 11 causes the frame structure 13 to move between the extended condition and the retracted condition.
- sliding movement of the supporting yoke 47 towards to the actuating yoke 61 causes the frame structure 13 to move from the retracted position to the extended condition.
- sliding movement of the (upper) supporting yoke 47 in the direction away from the (lower) actuating yoke 61 causes the frame structure 13 to move from the extended condition to the retracted condition.
- the struts 57 pass through an "over-centre" position so as to bias the frame structure into the extended condition.
- the post 71 has a portion thereof configured as a spigot 75
- the central opening 49 in the supporting yoke 47 has a portion thereof configured as a socket 77 for matingly receiving the spigot 75 when the frame structure 13 is in the extended condition, as best seen in Figure 11 of the drawings.
- the spigot 75 and th ⁇ socket 77 are configured to resist rotation therebetween when the mating engagement, thereby providing rigidity to the frame structure 13 when in the extended condition. This is achieved by providing splines 78 on the spigot 75 and mating keyways 79 in the socket 77 for receiving the splines when the spigot is matingly received within the socket.
- the crab pot 10 is provided with a retrieval access way 81 for retrieval of a crab trapped in the enclosure 17.
- the retrieval access way 81 comprises an opening 83 in the bottom 21 of the enclosure 17.
- the opening 83 is defined by a gap between one side of the bottom 21 and the adjacent section 54a of the cable 54 providing the flexible link 53.
- the bottom 21 is defined by the rectangular mesh panel 22 positioned within the area bounded by the cable 54.
- the rectangular mesh panel 22 is attached on three of its four sides to the cable in any suitable manner, such as by binding.
- the rectangular mesh panel 22 is not attached to the section 54a of the cable 54 on its fourth side, thereby providing a gap between the mesh panel 22 and the adjacent section 54a of cable which constitutes the opening 83.
- the retrieval access way 81 further comprises a closure flap 85 located on the underside of the bottom 21 against the opening 83.
- the closure flap 85 comprises a rectangular mesh panel 87 which is attached to the sections 54a of the cable 55 adjacent the opening 83 and also to the two neighbouring cable sections 54b, 54c, the attachment being achieved in any suitable way such as binding. With this arrangement, the closure flap 85 underlies the opening 83 and serves to provide a closure for it while also providing a retrieval path between the bottom 21 and the closure flap 85 accessible by way of the opening 83.
- the weight of the crab on the bottom 21 serves to urge the section of the bottom 21 adjacent the opening 83 into contact with the underlying closure flap 85, thereby ensuring that the opening 83 is closed so that the retrieval path is not accessible to the trapped crab (as shown in Figure 26).
- a user inserts his or her hand 88 into the enclosure through the particular entry opening 27 on the side of the pot opposite the opening 83, and pulls the mesh netting 22 defining the bottom 21 away from the mesh panel 87 defining the closure flap 85 (as shown in Figure 27) to expand the opening 83 and thereby create a space 90 through which the crab can pass to exit from the enclosure 17.
- the trapped crab 89 will instinctively move towards and through the opening 83 when the bottom mesh 22 is lifted away from the closure flap 85.
- the trapped crab 89 can be induced to pass along the space 90 between the raised mesh netting 22 and the underlying mesh panel 87, and then fall from the pot (as shown in Figure 28).
- the retrieval process would be conducted above a container 92, such as a bucket, into which the trapped crab 89 would fall upon exiting from the enclosure 17 through the retrieval access way 81.
- the frame structure 13 may be fitted with weights 100 to ensure that it sinks in the body of water.
- the weights 100 may be changed according to negative buoyancy requirements.
- the crab pot 10 may have provision to accommodate a bait for attracting crabs into the enclosure 17.
- the bait is contained within a bait bag 101 adapted to be suspended within the enclosure 17.
- the bait bag 101 is configured as a wrapper 103 within which the bait is confined.
- the wrapper 103 comprises several sheet layers of mesh material 104 wrapped about the bait and twisted at opposed ends 105 in a manner similar to a confectionary wrapper.
- Ties 107 are attached to a twisted ends of the wrapper 103 for the purposes of suspending the bait bag within the enclosure 17.
- one tie 107 would be attached to the underside of the (bottom) actuating yoke 61 and the other tie would be attached to the mesh panel 22 defining the bottom 21 of the enclosure.
- the crab pot 10 is of a simple yet highly effective construction which can be readily transformed between the erected and collapsed conditions.
- the elongate frame elements 31 of the frame structure 31 are retracted so as to be disposed generally along side one another adjacent the central axis of the pot, and netting 15 draping from the retracted frame structure 13 is wrapped therearound as best seen in Figure 2 of the drawings.
- This provides a particularly compact condition for the collapsed crab pot 10, facilitating storage and transportation.
- the spigot 75 on the (lower) actuating yoke 61 matingly engages in the socket 77 in the (upper) supporting yoke 47.
- This provides a rigid yet releasable connection between the two yokes 47, 61 , thereby providing stability to the frame structure 13 when in the extended position.
- the crab pot 10 Once the crab pot 10 is in the erected condition, it can be used in the conventional way, with crabs entering the enclosure 17 through the entry openings 27 as previously described.
- the present embodiment has a particular advantage in that there are four entry openings 27, thereby increasing the possibility of a successful catch.
- the pot 10 is retrieved from the water in the usual way; that is, by hauling it to the surface by the way of haul line 11. Any captured crabs are retrieved from the enclosure 17 by way of the retrieval access way 81 , as previously described.
- the erected crab pot 10 can be collapsed simply by pulling the two yokes 47, 61 apart so as to allow the frame structure 13 to return to the retracted condition. Draping netting 15 can then be wrapped around the retracted frame structure 13 to complete the collapsing process.
- FIG. 29 illustrates an arrangement where the bait 110 is on a skewer installed in the enclosure 17 for the purposes for attracting crabs.
- the rods 33 incorporate closed (twisted) loop formations 41 , 43. .
- closed loop formations 41 , 43. . Rather than providing connections by way of closed loop formations, other formations can be incorporated into the rod, one example is one of which is an open Joop formation 111 as illustrated at Figure 30.
- the enclosure 17 is configured as a cage.
- The may be circumstances where there is a need for a crab pot in which the enclosure is open at the top to provide a pen.
- Such an arrangement is incorporated in the embodiment illustrated in Figure 31 .
- the enclosure 17 comprises a bottom wall 121 , side walls 123 upstanding from the bottom wall and an open top 125.
- the crab pot according to this embodiment is of a similar construction to the first embodiment apart for the nature of the enclosure, and so corresponding reference numerals are used to identify similar parts.
- the pot incorporates an electronically powered light 127 mounted on the lower yoke 61.
- Figure 32 of the drawings shows an embodiment somewhat similar to the previous embodiment in the sense that the enclosure 17 is configured as a pen.
- the side walls 123 terminates short of the top wall 128 to provide side openings 129.
- the top wall 128 comprises a peripheral cable 131 extending between the frame elements 31 of the frame structure 13 and a mesh panel 133 within the peripheral cable.
- the top wall 128 ensures that crabs must enter the enclosure 17 in order to gain access to the bait 101. From the foregoing, it is evident that the present embodiments each provide a simple yet highly effective crab pot which can assume a compact condition and which can be readily erected into a operational condition for trapping crabs.
