Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A portable minnow gathering, scooping and handling seine for manual use comprising: a pair of like elongated spaced parallel poles having forward leading enDs and rearward trailing hand-held ends, a spreadable net having prescribed meshes suitable for entrapment of minnows, said net spanning the space between said poles, said net comprising a body portion whose marginal edges are tied to net encompassing line means embodying a rearward cork line having floats attached thereto, a forward lead line having weighted leads mounted thereon and a pair of complemental side lines inwardly of and substantially parallel with their respectively cooperable poles, and adapters located at equidistant points on the respective poles and to which the coacting side lines are releasably hitched, each adapter comprising a connecting link for an adjacent portion of a coordinating part of the coacting side line, said link having an outer end provided with an eye riveted and anchored on a peripheral surface of the oriented pole and an inner projecting end provided with a terminal resilient hook with which a cooperating portion of the adjacent side line is hitched and detachably held in place.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
135 words
A single user, minnow gathering, scooping and handling seine for portable hand supported push-along scooping use comprising, a pair of like light weight but rigid poles having exposed forward leading ends and rearward grippable handling ends, a plurality of spaced equidistant longitudinally spaced adapter links, said links having outer bent ends individually superimposed and anchored on the cooperating surface portions of the respective poles, each link having an inwardly extending portion terminating in a resilient snap-type net attaching and supporting hook, an insertable and removable relatively small net of fabricated mesh, said net having a marginal line including side lines which are spaced inwardly from and parallel to the respective poles, said lines being detachably connected and hitched to the respectively cooperable poles by way of hook portions of the respectively cooperable hooks and links.
