ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved restraining device for more effectively gripping and handling objects and which is composed of a line or similar limber material which is formed by this device into a slidable loop about that target. The invention is composed of a generally cylindrical elongated tubular shaft and a pair of complementary arcuate jaws at the distal end which form a relatively U-shape in the open position. A releasable rope attached to a swivel snap latch is held at the distal end of the pivotal arcuate jaw. Attached to the distal end of the fixed arcuate jaw is a pair of parallel finger like appendages. In the operation mode the pivotal arcuate jaw with the swivel snap latch sandwiches between the two finger like appendages and physically holds the target. In the closing process the swivel snap latch engages the rope held between the two fingers and forms a slidable loop or a completed circle. While the fish is being held between the fixed and pivotal jaws the operator pulls the rope tightening the slidable loop around the fish's tail. The tightening of the rope frees the rope from the line holding clips and the swivel snap latch from the pivotal jaw. The operator releases the triggering device and a compression spring returns the pivotal jaw back to the invention's open position. The invention can now be removed from the water.
