COLLAPSING DETACHABLE NET WITH TELESCOPE HANDLE. 



The illustration represents a collapsing net with steel side 

 supports (forming an oval when in position), the supports being 

 ' out of action ' and rolled up in their own net-folds. The figure 



underneath it shows the simplest form of telescope net-handle 

 with spring hook fastener. Its total length when closed and 

 hanging on the strap is 3ft. 3 in., of which 14 inches are repre- 

 sented by the net. When fully extended in use the total length 

 is 4 ft. ii in. This is another very serviceable and handy net for 

 those who prefer one with a longish reach. 



Figured below is a further variety, combining two of the 

 principles already described separately, the net is collapsing, 

 and the handle doubling up with a spring joint.
