  • Outhaul device for fishing lines
    Patent number: 5970646
    Abstract: An outhaul device for fishing lines, mounted on a vessel and arranged to pull the line successively from a line store and deploy the line behind the vessel. The outhaul device includes at least one pair of wheels which can be rotated about their respective symmetry axes of rotation by respective drive devices, and between which the line can be caused to extend, as it is pressed against the wheels. The symmetry axes are lying in a common plane. Each of the wheels may be tilted about an axis which is lying in the common plane and extends perpendicular to the symmetry axis of the wheel. Also each of the wheels is adapted to be tilted about an axis which is perpendicular to the common plane.
