ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for removing oil and the like from the surface of water. A vessel has a sump in which a pump is provided for removing the oil and water mixture. The sump has a front inlet associated with a float and a connecting flexible apron directing the oil and water mixture from the float to the sump. The apron allows the float to move vertically and to pivot longitudinally and laterally such that the float can maintain a uniform feeding position independent of the main vessel. The float is disposed in a front opening of the vessel for compactness, and for directing oil into the inlet means.
