主权项

1. An apparatus for collecting a barrier which includes at least one elongate array of interconnected flexible coils, the apparatus comprising:
a support boom; a drive mechanism; a base member; and a catch which is mounted to the base member, wherein the base member and the catch are reciprocally movable in unison by the drive mechanism, along a length of the support boom, whereby the catch is movable to an inoperative position when the base member is moved in a first direction and which, when the base member is moved in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction, is movable to an operative position at which the catch is engageable with at least one coil, whereby part of the barrier is drawn, in an axially compressed state, onto the support boom.
