Peter Widdig, Rodenklrohen near Cologne, Frankstrafie 30 Oil trap chain

01 · Invention relates to a chain for rolling oil floating on the water.

In order to collect the oil on rivers or lakes, which, for example, is caused by leaving ships or the like but also continue to seed drifting oil on rivers, the measure was already planned to lay out beams from HoIs and also to connect individual beam pieces with each other. Wooden beams do not only have the disadvantage that they are ■ to transport a truck to the place of your application need, but it is also necessary that never only "Ine have low levels of intrusion in the water and are therefore already b & i slightly troubled water sloh lift parts of the beam out of the water so that the oil floating on the water

can step in zones below the bar surfaces. Since the bars are rigid, their handling in other respects is also very disadvantageous.

The invention is based on the object au ·; to create an oil trap chain that does not have the aforementioned kachtaile. To solve this problem, it is proposed according to the invention for an oil trap chain that it consists of a "strip of impregnated cloth or a film of thermoplastic material" with a light "especially buoyant pulling line" at the upper edge "below it at intervals and in a row arranged Schwirankorper and on the lower Kant® Besshwerungtiewlchte «especially in the form of something permanent. According to a further inventive feature, it is proposed that the strip consists of an individual sheet, with a longitudinal area for forming the channel for the pulling line, unbuckled and connected to the catch surface along the length, and another area for the formation of a receiving channel for floating bodies, in particular made of squares or approximately square pieces of foam plastic with closed cells, curved and the free edge connected to the catching surface of the strip along the length of the line, and the lower edge of the strip along the length.

Continuously to a channel, there is a loading weight, in particular in the form of a lead band, unbeaten and the free, length-running edge of the bottom sole is connected to the catching surface.

Another proposal according to the invention goes as follows: "dafl the receiving channel between the one-one, at intervals located on drive bodies divided into one-one chambers is. Finally it is planned that the floats in the canal are at such a distance from one another that a fold of the oil trap chain and a flat superposition of the folded sections is possible.

In order to also weigh down the oil catching chain, you are » According to a further inventive feature, the lower folded band has eyelets into which a weight chain is suspended.

According to a further feature according to the invention, the oil trap chain is particularly advantageously composed of a thermoplastic Plastic film, whereby the connection of the envelopes as well as the Subdivision of the chambers is carried out by Sc ^^ iSimg to accommodate the individual floating bodies.

According to a further feature according to the invention, it is proposed that receiving bodies are detachably attached to the oil trap chain, which attach, accumulate and possibly bind the oil present on the water surface.

The oil trap chain according to the invention is collapsible. Therefore it only needs a small space for its transport, so that it can easily be carried by all fire brigades and oil brigades. It can be put together from parts to form an optional large lung, it is also light, so that transport and handling are very much simplified as a result. With additional weights to be attached it can be adapted to the conditions of the water to be cleaned. Weätorhin the oil catching chain according to the invention has a catching surface that reaches deep into the water, so that even when the water is rough, the catching surface below the water surface is always present at a sufficient depth. Due to the elasticity and the possibility of bending the oil trap chain in all levels, it adapts to the surface of the water so that even in very rough water no oil can swim beneath the oil trap chain.

The floating bodies made of hollow bodies made of plastic or made of foam plastic with closed cells give a large

Load capacity. The floating chain according to the invention is designed in terms of weight so that it can not lie flat while swimming in water, but always maintains its vertical orientation to collect the oil due to the loading weights at the lower edge of the collecting surface, which is vertically directed during use.

By the further measure according to the invention, releasable to dei SchviiKiikefcte in the area of the water surface receiving body to arrange .. that with appropriate oil-absorbing substances are provided, collect the oil directly and, if necessary, bind it, the removal of floating oil from the water is greatly facilitated.

The oil trap chain, of which the section 10a is shown in Fig. 2, consists of an impregnated cloth or a film made of thermoplastic material, in such a way that according to the embodiment of FIG. 2 and Flg. 4 a one-piece strip is present, which is bent over several times, the bend being connected to the collecting surface, which is vertically oriented when in use, and welded together with a sheet of plastic. In detail, as can be seen particularly clearly from FIG. K , there is a bend in the upper area of the oil chain to form a longitudinal channel 15 for receiving a pull cord 16, which is preferably made of a plastic and thus has great strength. In addition, lines made of plastic are also very weather-resistant and also buoyant. It is also possible to use a line made of hemp or some other rope that has been tried and tested in shipping. To close the channel 15, the bend is necessary with the collecting surface which is always vertically directed during use

There is also one Bend to form a receiving channel 19 'which receives the floating bodies 20. As can be seen from FIG. 2, these are "each of limited length" so that a part 10 has a large number of such floating bodies 20, 20a, 20b, etc. According to the execution & example in Fig. 4 exist the floating bodies made of square pieces of foam plastic with entire cells. However, hollow bodies made of plastic can also be used. These can also have a cuboid shape, but also a cylindrical shape or spherical shape. Between the individual floats the receiving channel 19 is subdivided "in the case of a film made of thermoplastic material by transverse welded bends 21. It should also be noted that the channel 19 is closed is through a longitudinal connecting seam, in the case of a film made of thermoplastic material, correspondingly with a weld seam 22.

The lower edge of the collecting surface 17 is also turned over and with the collecting surface 1? connected to education a channel 23 ″ which receives a lead tape 24 for weighting purposes. Above this channel are in evenly spaced

In the case of an outer section, the pull line 11 is on one end of great length to be attached to a boat or other bracket can. On the other At the end, the pull line is only short in length and has a connecting ring 26 which is inserted into a snap hook or the like. Connecting element 27 of the adjacent part to be connected is releasably suspended. Adjacent sections overlap one another »as can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, so that oil cannot flow off between sections. In order to releasably connect parts to one another, Fig. 2 a double belt spool 28, 29 is shown. Bs can but also another detachable connection at the front! · η «, that can withstand the forces exerted. For example a lacing can also take place or other Tendon locks are used.

The floating bodies 20, 20a, 20b, etc. have a single distance from one another so that the part can be turned over between them and the toilet can thus be laid flat on top of one another so that they can only transport one take up little space.
