Abstract

This is an oil boom that, in catastrophic oil spillages, confines the oil until it can be sucked up by oil-recovery vessels. At least four sections in the form of foamed grid-screens are connected by hinged links to enclose the oil floating on the water. More sections can be added by means of further links for larger areas of oil. USE/ADVANTAGE - This barrier enables the floating oil to be safely enclosed during at least Wind Force 8 with corresp waves. The links allow the barrier to follow the wave motion and so overcome the disadvantage of other barriers which, in the more severe seas, spill the oil that has been enclosed.

Description

Die Ölsperre ermöglicht es, konstruktions­ bedingt, auf dem Wasser schwimmendes Öl bis mindestens Windstärke 8 mit ent­ sprechenden Wellengang, sicher einzu­ grenzen.The oil barrier allows construction conditionally, oil floating on the water up to at least wind force 8 with ent speaking swell, safely on limit.

Die bisher bekannten und eingesetzten Öl­ sperren wie Schläuche aus Gummi oder Naturfasern haben den Nachteil, daß bei höherem Seegang vorher eingegrenztes Öl wieder zurückschwappt.The previously known and used oil lock like rubber hoses or Natural fibers have the disadvantage that at Oil previously limited in higher seas sloshes back again.

Dieser bisherige Nachteil wird erfindungs­ gemäß dadurch aufgehoben, daß die Öl­ sperre durch die mit Gelenken verbundenen Elemente in der Lage ist, der Wellen­ bewegung zu folgen ohne umzukippen. Somit bleibt das einmal eingesetzte Öl innerhalb der Ölsperre und kann an­ schließend vom Wasser abgesaugt werden.This previous disadvantage is fiction canceled according to that the oil lock through those associated with joints Elements capable of waves follow movement without tipping over. This means that once the oil is used, it remains inside the oil boom and can on finally be sucked off from the water.

Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Erfindung besteht in der schnellen und flexiblen Einsatzfähigkeit. So braucht die Ölsperre nicht erst aufgepumpt zu werden, wie bis­ her bei den Gummischläuchen notwendig, sondern kann beispielsweise sofort auch per Hubschrauber oder Flugzeug im Einsatz­ gebiet aufs Wasser gesetzt werden.Another advantage of this invention consists in the fast and flexible Operability. So the oil barrier needs not to be pumped up, like until necessary with the rubber hoses, but can, for example, immediately by helicopter or plane area put on the water.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing.

Oberbegriff:
Ölsperre, die bei Ölkatastrophen auf dem Wasser Öl solange eingrenzt, bis dies von Saugschiffen abgesaugt werden kann.Generic term:
Oil barrier that limits oil in the event of oil spills on the water until it can be sucked off by suction boats. Kennzeichnender Teil:
Die Ölsperre ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß mindestens vier durch Gelenke ver­ bundene Elemente in Form ausgeschäumter Gitter auf dem Wasser schwimmendes Öl umschließen. Bei größeren einzugrenzenden Ölflächen sind weitere Elemente durch weitere Gelenke hinzufügbar.Characteristic part:
The oil barrier is characterized in that at least four elements connected by articulations enclose oil floating on the water in the form of a foamed grid. For larger oil areas to be delimited, additional elements can be added by additional joints.
