Definitions

  • the invention concerns a device for protecting objects, such as boats and tools, from organisms that grow and reproduce on object surfaces submerged into water.
  • the invention described below are intended to effectively hinder the growth of water organisms on object surfaces submerged into water without any material containing poisonous substances that can leak out into the water.
  • the claimed device is intended to protect the bottom surfaces of boats or other object surfaces submerged into water from growth of algae or sea acorns.
  • the boat or the object should be driven or moved up upon a cover which has a lower density than water and that is attached to a bridge.
  • the density lower than water can be achieved by selecting a proper material or by attaching air pockets in the cover.
  • the material suited for the cover is PVC, polyethylene, or polypropylene that are armed with polyester fibres.
  • a preferred solution is to utilize a PVC cover with a thickness of 0.2 to 0.8 mm armed with polyester fibers for example the trademarks SCANPLAN 5140PF (Scantarp, Kuopio, Finland) or NAIZIL PS ADR PHTALATE FREE (NAIZIL INC., Canada). Both these two materials are phthalate free.
  • This cover is combined for example by welding with foam of PVC (Expanancel®).
  • the foam contains microspheres, in which gas is encapsulated and this result in a lifting force to the cover. The gas filled spheres are completely closed and therefore they cannot be filled with water.
  • the PVC foam has a thickness of about 4 mm (interval 2 to 8 mm).
  • An example of material is also polyethylene foam of trademark Alveolit TA4000 (DAFA A/S, Denmark),
  • Another feature of the cover is to significantly reduce the amount of light that is transmitted through the cover into the water. This can be achieved by adding additives to PVC.
  • a preferred colour is the trademark F4050-R90B, which is relatively dark blue and suitable for the environment and results in a pleasant blue colour. This is important since the cover is attached to a bridge. Other colours can also be used. Since the cover has a density lower than water it is floating, and when the boat is driven onto it the cover will closely attach to the surface of the boat. This will reduce the amount of surface water around the boat and reduce the possibility for the cyprid larva to settle at the surface. Furthermore the light will be significantly reduced which decreases the possibilities for algae and sea acorns, to develop and to reproduce.
  • the cover is supposed to be attached to the bridge but it could of course also be attached to the boat by preset attachment points. Furthermore it has been proposed that the boat is moved or driven to the cover, but of course it is also possible for the cover to be drawn under the boat or the tool and then be attached by ropes on either the bridge or the object.
  • the cover Since the cover has a lower density or the cover contains air cushions, the object will push down the cover and the cover will attach closely to the surface of the object.
  • the cover can have a slit in order to allow for a deep keel that will not be enclosed by the cover in difference to the rest of the submerged boat.
  • the choice of material for the cover is made in such a way that it does not release any poisonous substances into the water, see examples above. It is also possible to use various types of natural textiles such as cotton, linen, hemp, cellulose fibres or different types of synthetic substances.
  • the outer borders of the cover could contain perforated channels so that air could be pumped through these holes in wintertime to keep the sides of the boat or tool ice free.

Claims (5)

  1. Vorrichtung zum Schützen von Objekten vor Organismen, die auf Objektoberflächen, die in Wasser eingetaucht sind, wachsen und sich reproduzieren, wobei die Vorrichtung eine Abdeckung umfasst, die eine niedrigere Dichte als Wasser aufweist oder die mit eingekapselten Luftpolstern versehen ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Abdeckung angeordnet ist, um die in Wasser eingetauchten Oberflächen zu bedecken, und ein Textil umfasst, das für Licht nicht durchlässig ist und das aus einem von: PVC, Polyethylen oder Polypropylen besteht, und das mit Polyesterfasern ausgestattet ist und mit einem Schaum verbunden ist, der geschlossene Mikrokugeln enthält, wobei die Mikrokugeln so gestaltet sind, dass sich die Abdeckung bei der Verwendung eng an die in Wasser eingetauchten Oberflächen physikalisch anlagert, wodurch die Bildung eines Biofilms auf den Oberflächen verhindert wird, wobei der Film die Basis sein könnte, dass sich andere Organismen wie Algen, Muscheln und Seepocken auf den Oberflächen der Objekte ansiedeln.
  2. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, wobei die Abdeckung aus einem Textil besteht, das mit einem Schaum aus Polyvinylchlorid oder Polyethylen verbunden ist.
  3. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, wobei die Abdeckung aus einem dunkelfarbigen Textil besteht, um den Durchlass von Licht zu verhindern.
  4. Vorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1-3, wobei die Abdeckung mit einem Schlitz für Boote mit einem tiefen Kiel gestaltet ist.
  5. Vorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1-4, wobei perforierte Luftkanäle auf jeder Seite der Abdeckung eingeschlossen sind.
