Abstract
An oil pick up device for removing oil off the surface of water consists of a series of vertical plates driven from a central drive member. The plates pass through the oil/water surface and oil is picked up. Scrapers remove the oil and lead it away. There is also incorporated a pneumatic device for maintaining the pick-up device at the right level in the water.
