PCT No. PCT/SE88/00112 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 26, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 26, 1989 PCT Filed Mar. 9, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO88/07000 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 22, 1988.A device for taking up substances floating in or on the surface of a fluid, which substances at a relative movement between the device and the fluid are brought to at least one uptaking machine (11), which is partly immersed in the fluid. The purpose is to provide an uptaking device, which i.a. shall: prevent the creation of a wash when the uptaking device moves in the forward direction through the mass of water, be simple to manufacture and operate, and easily adjustable in height and laterally and have a high taking up capacity. These tasks have been solved in that at least a portion of the immersed part (19) of the uptaking machine (11) in the fluid is surrounded by at least one screening off and deflecting member (20), which is arranged to create in the fluid around said immersed part (19) a protected zone (22) and controlled flow of the substance to the immersed part of the uptaking machine.
