ABSTRACT:
An improved anchor retrieving device adapted to be attached at an intermediate position of a main anchoring line. The device comprises a lock assembly comprising a gripper detachably mounted on an intermediate position of the main anchoring line, and a lock lever having a lower part swingingly supported by the lower portion of the gripper and an upper part releasably held by the gripper; a connection line for connecting the lock lever to one end of the shank opposite to the crown end of the anchor; and a weight for impinging the lock assembly to change the same from the locking condition to the unlocking condition. The condition line has a connection line retainer for fixing the connection line to the lock lever in the locking condition, and is released from the lock lever when the lock assembly is impinged by the weight. The restrainer is a rope clip fixed to the main anchoring line to engage the bottom of the gripper in one embodiment, or a clamping arrangement for clamping the gripper and simultaneously for fixing the gripper in situ.
