Collapsible king crab pot with one-piece net

摘要

A collapsible crabpot structure having four generally rectangular side frames, with a V-shaped reinforcing structure extending across each side frame. Hinge structures at each of eight corners of the crabpot structure, each hinge structure having an outwardly located protective structure to prevent impact damage thereon from external impact forces, as well as preventing excess torsional or bending stress on the hinge members of an erect crabpot structure during use. The protective structures are formed at least in part by extensions of primary frame members.
