ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for the bundling of both floating and submerged logs. The log bundling apparatus comprises at least one L-shaped frame, each frame including at least one leg portion and at least one base portion extending outwardly from and rigidly connected to the leg portion, each leg portion adapted to be secured to a support structure situated within a body of water, whereby each base portion and a lower section of each leg portion is adapted to be submerged beneath a surface of the body of water. An arm structure is pivotally secured to each base portion adjacent a free end thereof. Actuating means are mounted between each L-shaped frame and each pivotable arm structure, the actuating means adapted to pivot its respective arm structure from an open position in which the arm structure is submerged beneath the surface of the water to a closed position wherein a free end of each arm structure extends above the surface of the water. As each arm structure is moved from its open position to its closed position, each arm structure is adapted to engage logs situated above each submerged arm structure and its respective submerged base portion so as to urge the logs towards its respective leg portion, thereby forming a compact bundle of logs which can be secured together.
