Abstract

980,732. Floating barriers. WALTER KIDDE CO. Ltd. Jan. 9, 1964 [Feb. 4, 1963], No. 4391/63. Heading E1H. A collapsible floating fire barrier comprises an elongated framework formed by inflatable high pressure tubes 10, 12, 12<SP>1</SP> and webs or panels 13 of heat resistant sheet material supported by the framework and extending lengthwise thereof. The tubes 12 and their panels 13 are of equal length, the horizontal tubes 12 and panels 13 acting as vanes riding on or near the water surface while the vertical tube 12 and its panel keep the shorter tube 12<SP>1</SP> and its panel vertical and projecting out of the water. The barrier is in sections with swivelling connectors 14 between the tubes 10 and asbestos sheet 15 connected by rings 16 between the sections to allow the barrier to move in response to wave motion.
