ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the clean-up, by boat or other water vessel, of oil, other chemicals or substances which float on top of or near the surface of the water. This clean-up action occurs when the boat or vessel is moving at a sufficient forward rate to cause the substance on the surface to be picked up and deposited in containers within the boat or vessel. The invention comprises a two-piece attachment bracket for the scoop structure; a scoop device which is built in two sections and is assembled on to the attachment brackets; hoses which carry the substance from the end of the scoop device to containers within the boat or other water vessel; a lifting device for the scoop structure; an opening and closing device for the aperture plate at the front of the scoop. The attachment brackets are assembled on the boat or other water vessel using a connecting pin in front and two straps which buckle in the rear of the boat or other water vessel. Brackets on each side of the boat or other water vessel are used as holding devices for the delivery hoses while the scoop is in use. A filler adapter is used, where necessary, to assure a snug fit of the scoop device against the boat or other water vessel hull.
