The invention... especially the collection of sea urchins underwater by divers, the collected sea 5 the chestnuts being collected inside the product and being removed from the product when desired The invention relates to a sea urchin collector structure that provides back-and-forth collection in the water. structures that help reduce water friction during movement are located together. It falls under the category of harvesting equipment. State of the Art 10 In current techniques, sea urchins are generally collected using scoops, nets, mesh bags, and similar open-container equipment. These devices are used. When these devices are moved in the water, they have wide and flat surfaces. This creates high water resistance, which hinders the user's back-and-forth collecting motion. This makes things more difficult. Furthermore, the water movements that occur around these devices during their movement also hinder the process. It increases the user's power consumption by creating resistance. 15 In conventional devices, sea urchins are collected in an open chamber, so the position of the device is important. If the system is changed, the collected products may spill out. In addition, in the existing apparatus... internal structures that guide sea urchins towards the entrance during collection There are no such features, therefore the picking process depends on the user's hand dexterity. Since the current devices do not have a mechanism to drain the water that enters the tank, 20 Liquid pressure can build up inside the device, and this pressure pushes the collected products back towards the inlet opening. This can cause the user's hand to move. Furthermore, most current devices cause the user's hand to move. There is no support structure to prevent it from slipping. The invention is a sea urchin collector, with an upper shell (1), lower shell (2), cage (3), and stopper. (4), hole (5), drain (6), holder (7), router (8), mouth (9), handle (10), connection (11) and protrusion (12) structures 25 It eliminates the shortcomings found in existing equipment.

He is a chestnut gatherer. The invention is entirely made of plastic material, in one piece and molded in a single step. It is manufactured. All the structures that make up the invention are integrated with each other. The invention's main structure features a ring geometry in the form of a hollow shell. This geometry has a donut shape. It refers to a three-dimensional ring shape, also known as a torus in mathematics. The ring-shaped structure has a hollow wall, and this internal volume forms a passageway in the form of a pipe. Deniz 20 The chestnuts move throughout this internal volume. This ring-shaped structure consists of two parts: the upper shell (1) and the lower shell (2). The shell (1) is C-shaped, obtained by taking a one hundred and eighty-degree section from the ring form. Lower shell (2) is bowl-shaped and completes the ring form. Between the upper shell (1) and the lower shell (2) The remaining gap is closed with rings in the cage (3) structure, thus the ring form of the pipe 25 The interior volume, in this form, is maintained without interruption. The reason for choosing the ring form for the upper shell (1) and lower shell (2) is that the invention moves in water. The goal is to reduce friction forces and water movement generated from all directions during the process. flat, wide-surfaced structures that are moved within a space surrounded by water that resists the movement. It generates these movements. Thanks to its ring-shaped, curved and continuous outer surface, these 30 Resistance is reduced, allowing the user to perform the back-and-forth rolling motion with less effort. is provided. 4 In using the invention, the user holds the invention by the handle (10) and directs it towards the sea urchin. It brings them closer. During the collecting action, sea urchins come to the outer surface of the stopper (4) and It strikes the guiding (8) rings and is directed towards the mouth (9) and from the mouth (9) into the upper shell (1) Sea urchins move through the tubular inner volume of the upper shell (1) and enter the cage. (3) reaches the region, from there passes to the lower shell (2) and is stopped by the stopper (4) 5 It is deposited in the lower crust (2). When the user pulls the invention towards himself in the water, the water enters the upper shell (1) through the hole (5) structure. It enters and flows out through the discharge (6) structure. This water flow is under pressure inside the upper shell (1). to prevent the formation and sea urchins from returning to the upper shell (1) due to inertia By preventing them from escaping, they are kept inside the cage (3). 10 The central opening of the ring form is empty. One side of this opening is connected by a retaining (7) structure. It is closed. The collected sea urchins are placed when the user works with the gripper (7) down. It is held by the holder (7) by the pulling effect and does not fall out. The user collects seawater When he wants to take his chestnuts, he turns the invention upside down and on the side where the holder (7) is not located It can remove sea urchins through the opening. 15 Upper Shell (1): The upper shell (1) is the main structure of the invention through which sea urchins enter and move within its internal volume. It is formed by the upper shell (1) of plastic material, in one piece together with the other structures of the invention. It is produced. The upper shell (1) forms part of the ring geometry in the form of a hollow shell. Ring 20 It is in the C form, obtained by taking a one hundred and eighty-degree section from its form. Inside the wall of the upper shell (1) It is empty, and this internal volume forms a passageway in the form of a pipe. One end of the C form of the upper shell (1) opens outwards as the mouth (9), and the other end is into the cage (3) Sea urchins enter the upper shell (1) through the mouth (9), and the tube-shaped inner volume opens. It moves along the entire length and passes into the cage (3) from the other end. 25 The reason for choosing the ring form for the upper shell (1) is to reduce friction in the water. Friction forces and resistance to motion are present around the structures being moved within it, from all directions. Water movements that create resistance occur. Curved and continuous outer surface of the upper crust (1) Thanks to this, these forces are reduced, and the invention can be moved more easily in all directions in the water. is provided. 30 The wall of the upper shell (1) has hole (5) and drainage (6) structures. The upper shell (1) The retaining structure (7) is attached to the section. The wall of the upper shell (1) is connected to the lower section via the cage (3) rings. It is attached to the shell (2). Lower Shell (2): The lower shell (2) is the bowl-shaped structure in which the collected sea urchins are deposited. The lower shell (2) is plastic 5 The material is manufactured as a single piece together with the other components of the invention. The lower shell (2) forms the other part of the same ring form as the upper shell (1). The upper shell (1) It is in the form of a bowl that completes the C form from below and continues to the ring up to the stopper (4). He / She is completing the form. Sea urchins coming from the cage (3) reach the cup-shaped region of the lower crust (2) and 10 It is stopped by the stopper (4) and accumulated here. The reason for choosing the ring form for the lower shell (2) is that each one is in the water, as in the upper shell (1). friction forces arising from one direction and water movements creating resistance to motion is the reduction. The ring-shaped bars of the cage (3) are integrated into the wall of the lower shell (2). The lower shell (2), 15 It is joined with the stem (10) structure at the connection (11) point. At the connection (11) point, the lower shell (2) There is an opening in its wall corresponding to the pipe form of the stem (10). Cage (3): The cage (3) closes the gap between the upper shell (1) and the lower shell (2) and forms a ring-shaped tube. It is a barred structure in the form of at least three rings that continues the internal volume in the shape of a cage (3) 20 It is manufactured from plastic material as a single piece together with the other components of the invention. The cage’s (3) ring-shaped bars start from the wall of the upper shell (1) and the lower shell (2) It integrates into the wall. These rings will follow the ring form of the upper shell (1) and the lower shell (2). It is positioned in this way. The rings of the cage (3) are also integrated into the stopper (4) and It ends at the stopper (4). 25 The cage (3) is the supporting structure that connects the upper shell (1) and the lower shell (2). Openings between the rings These openings are located within a range of three millimeters to fifty millimeters in diameter. Thanks to this, the collected sea urchins are prevented from escaping the invention. The cage (3) also It directs sea urchins toward the lower shell (2). 6 The reason for forming the cage in (3) rings is to reduce water friction. User invention When the water moves vertically through the rings, the water passes through the openings between them. This Thanks to this transition, the frictional resistance to movement is reduced. Stopper (4): Stopper (4), disc 5 which enables the collected sea urchins to be stopped inside the lower shell (2). It is a structure in the form of a stopper (4) made of plastic material, in one piece together with the other structures of the invention. It is produced in this form. The stopper (4) starts from the entrance wall at the mouth (9) of the upper shell (1) and goes to the handle of the lower shell (2). (10) reaches its largest outer diameter at the connection point (11) where it is connected. One side of the stopper (4) functions as a barrier that stops sea urchins falling from the cage (3) onto the lower shell (2). This allows the collected sea urchins to remain inside the lower shell (2). The other side of the stopper (4) is the surface that the sea urchins hit during the collection process. It forms. Sea urchins hit this surface and enter the inner volume of the upper shell (1) through the mouth (9). It is entering. The cage's (3) ring-shaped bars are integrated into the stopper (4). The guiding (8) rings are 15 It starts from the stopper (4). The stopper (4) is positioned perpendicular to the pipe direction of the handle (10). Hole (5): Hole (5) is a structure in the form of a hole that cuts through the wall of the upper shell (1). Hole (5) is the single piece of the invention. It is formed during the molding process in this state. Hole (5) has the same diameter as the inner diameter of the pipe structure of the stem (10) and is 20 in line with the pipe form of the stem (10). They are positioned. The holder (7), hole (5) and handle (10) are aligned. The hole (5) appeared when the user pulled the invention toward himself in order to draw the sea urchins into the invention. It allows water to pass through. This reduces frictional resistance in the tensile direction. Water entering through the hole (5) flows out through the drain (6) structure. Thanks to this flow, inside the upper shell (1) This prevents the build-up of pressure. The resulting water flow also allows sea urchins to move upwards due to their inertia. By preventing them from escaping back into the shell (1), they remain inside the cage (3). Evacuation (6): The drain (6) is in the form of a hole that allows water inside the upper shell (1) to be discharged. It is a structure. The evacuation (6) is created during the molding process of the invention in one piece. 7 The discharge (6) is opened from the side into the C form of the upper shell (1). The discharge (6) is forty-five to the plane of the hole (5). It is positioned at an angle of degrees. The entrance of the discharge (6) faces the mouth (9) of the upper shell (1). The opening of the (6) ring form of the drain facing the inner volume is a rounded passage with a radius of at least one millimeter. It is manufactured in this way. Thanks to this rounded transition, friction is reduced. When the user moves the invention on the vertical and horizontal axes, the discharge (6) removes 5 of the water inside the upper shell (1). It allows the liquid to drain out. In this way, the liquid pressure inside the upper shell (1) is reduced. Holder (7): The retainer (7) is a curtain-shaped structure that closes one side of the belly opening in the middle region of the ring form. It is a structure. The retaining (7) plastic material is in one piece together with the other structures of the invention. is produced. 10 The holder (7) is attached to the top shell (1) from above and its tip is in the form of a semicircle.

This opening comes from the cage (3). sea ​​urchins accumulated on the lower shell (2) and stopper (4) are removed from the invention. It enables it to be obtained. 15 The retainer (7) closes only one side of the navel opening and is not located on the other side. When the user uses the invention with the holder (7) down, the collected sea urchins are placed It is held by the holder (7) by the effect of the pull and does not fall down. The user collects seawater When he wants to take the chestnuts out of the invention, he turns the invention upside down so that the holder (7) remains on top. It can turn and take out sea urchins from the opening on the side where the gripper (7) is not located. This 20 This allows the user to collect sea urchins according to their preference or remove them from the invention. is able to obtain. Thanks to the fact that the holder (7) is located on one side of the belly opening, the invention can be used with the right hand and the left hand. It is available for use. Router (8): 25 The guide (8) is two that guide sea urchins to the mouth (9) during the collection process. It is a ring-shaped structure. The guiding (8) is made of plastic material, together with the other structures of the invention. It is produced as a single piece. 8 The guiding (8) rings start from the stopper (4) and the wall at the mouth (9) part of the upper shell (1) It ends. The guiding (8) rings are ring-shaped from the cage's (3) ring-shaped bars. It is a continuation of those located closest to the center of the form. During the sea urchin collection process, sea urchins collide with the guiding rings (8). This As a result of the impact, sea urchins are directed towards the mouth (9) and aligned with the center of the mouth (9). This 5 This makes the addition process easier. Mouth (9): Mouth (9) is an opening through which sea urchins enter the body. Mouth (9) is the upper shell (1) C It is located at one end of the form. The edges of the mouth (9) are produced with a softened transition of at least one millimeter radius. This 10 Thanks to the smoothed passage, both the sea urchins rub against the edges of their mouths (9) and the water Friction is reduced. During the collection process, it is directed by hitting the surface of the stopper (4) and the guide rings (8). Sea urchins enter the tube-shaped internal volume of the upper shell (1) through the mouth (9). Sap (10): 15 The handle (10) is the structure by which the invention is held by the user.
