ABSTRACT:
Float release devices which are releasible from submerged articles in order to mark the location of the articles, which devices include in a first embodiment, a double pressure-actuated float attached to a bracket by means of a pair of pressure-actuated release mechanisms for releasing the float when the float and bracket are submerged. Straps attached to the bracket serve to secure the float to a non-floating article and a plug in the release mechanism facilitates equalization of pressure in the release mechanism housing. In another embodiment of the invention a single pressure-actuated release mechanism is provided in cooperation with a float and bracket, which bracket is located on the exterior of the article to be protected, such as a fishing rod. In an alternative design for protecting a fishing rod, the pressure-release mechanism is located in the fishing rod handle for release when the fishing rod falls overboard. In another embodiment of the invention a water soluble, pin-actuated float is enclosed in the handle of a fishing rod and is designed for release when water softens the soluble pin.
