Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for treating, for example scouring the walls from underwater -lying structures, notably the curved walls thereof or walls which lie at an angle to one another.
  • the described apparatus has for disadvantage that the diver has to adjust the brushes independently from one another, which is of advantage but in a very limited number of conditions.
  • the drawback of the apparatus is however to be seen in both brushes not adjusting automatically to irregularities of those surfaces to be cleaned.
  • Underwater-lying ship walls, the legs or components from drilling platforms, etc. have locally substantial irregularities or projections as well as accumulations of shell-fishes and/or seaweeds. It is frequent to encounter such accumulations in the shape of compact calcareous deposits.
  • a single-sided resistance is encountered, this causes a change in those forces which act on said brushes. Due to the revolving motion of the brushes, a sidewise pressure is exerted on the apparatus.
  • the invention has for object to obviate these and other drawbacks of the known apparatus, and to provide an appastus which is operatable by the swimmer with a minimum of effort.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which due to synchronizing of the brushes and to the design of the apparatus, insures an uniform propulsion thereof even when treating irregular surfaces, particularly when the one brush encounters an obstacle which offers a higher resistance.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which makes possible a larger positive and negative angular displacement.
  • the apparatus is formed by two brushes or scrapers rotating in opposite. direction , which are mounted on a common frame, which is comprised of two components which have an hinged connection which coincides with that symmetry plane which extends between said brushes or scrapers.
  • the apparatus as shown in the figures is comprised of two frame components 1 and 2, which are connected together by a hinge connection 3, which has been shown in figures 3 and 4 by a dot-and-dash line 3.
  • a brush or knife disc 4 is rotatably mounted on each frame component.
  • Each brush or disc is driven by a hydraulic motor 5, even if it might be considered to drive said brushes or discs with electric or pneumatic motors.
  • the hinge 3 lies in that symmetry plane which runs through the apparatus between said frame components 1 and 2, the apparatus fits narrowly against the rounding of any curved structure 6 to be scoured or cleaned (figures 1 and 5).
  • a handle 7 which extends preferably slightly slanting outwards relative to frame components 1 and 2.
  • the hinge connection generally shown in 3 between said frame components 1 and 2 is comprised in a preferred embodiment, of elements 8 and 9, whereby the elements 9 are secured to frame component 1 and elements 8 to frame component 2.
  • one element 9 is hingedly water-tight connected to an element 8.
  • Lines 10, 11 and 10', 11' respectively connect the hydraulic or pneumatic motors 5 to the inlet line 12 and outlet line 13, respectively, and actually above each element set 8,9.
  • the brushes are driven by electric motors, the lines 10, 11, 10', 11' are used as tubes for electric cables.
  • an operating member 14 which can control as well the starting as the stopping of the motors, by opening or closing a valve.
  • Reference 15 shows underwater growth which is to be removed with the apparatus.
  • the removed impurities are projected together with a water stream due to the turbine-action of the revolving brushes or discs, backwards relative to the apparatus.
  • Said water stream with the removed impurities is generally shown in 16.
  • Said lines 12, 13 and possibly an electric line 17 are arranged together in an interlaced sleeve 18, for example.
  • Said sleeve or line 18 leads to a diagrammatically-shown drive unit 19.
  • a material having a high buoyancy is fastened to components 1 and 2, Said material is not shown in the figures, but may take any shape and extension depending on the specific weight thereof.
