Abstract: Collapsible net apparatus including a handle; a T-member having laterally spaced openings; a slide member slidably engaging the handle; a pair of arms pivotally connected to the slide member and slidably received within the openings of the T-member, the arms divergently extended or convergently retracted upon movement of the slide member; a latch member for holding the arms in an extended position; a net support extending between the free end of the arms; and a net stranded about the arms, support member, and connected to the T-member. Hook members at the free end of each arm gather the net strands during collapse of the device to maintain proper placement for the operational mode, and a hook located at the end of the handle, engageable with the net, restrains and holds the net in place during the collapsed storage mode.
