ABSTRACT:
A magnetic retrieving device, comprising an elongated tubular handle member; a plunger movably mounted within the handle member for movement between an outer position and an inner position; a biasing member disposed within the handle member for urging the plunger toward the outer position thereof; an elongated flexible and resilient cable connected at one end thereof to the inner end of the handle member and at the other end thereof to an elongated tubular shield member; a flexible and resilient wire member extending through the cable and connected at one end thereof to the inner end portion of the plunger and at the other end thereof to the inner end portion of a magnet member movably mounted within the shield member for movement between an inner position wherein it is disposed within the shield member and an outer position wherein it extends outwardly of the outer end of the shield member. The biasing member serves to maintain the plunger in the outer position thereof relative to the handle member and also serves to maintain the magnet member in the inner position thereof relative to the shield member. When it is desired to move the magnet member to the outer position thereof wherein it extends outwardly of the shield member, the plunger is moved to the inner position thereof. This movement of the plunger member is transferred by the wire member to the magnet member to move it to the outer position thereof wherein it can pick up a metal object to be retrieved.
