Abstract

1,248,605. Cable fairing. FATHOM OCEANOLOGY Ltd. 21 Nov., 1969 [23 Nov., 1968], No. 55708/68. Heading D1T. The cable fairing shown has a flexible hollow nose 3 and a comparatively rigid tail 4, 5 that includes a flexible link 6 whereby the fairing can be coupled to the tail of a similar and adjacent fairing. The nose 3 has a split line 11 to permit a cable to be inserted sideways therein. In Fig. 2, the tail sections 4, 5 include (a) co-operating pins 8 and sockets 9 whereby the sections 4, 5 can be joined together; (b) pins 18 that pass through holes 16 in. the nose 3 to secure the tail to the nose; and (c) a pin 7 on which the link 6 is mounted. In a simplified embodiment, Figs. 4 and 5 (not shown), the aforesaid pins and apertures are absent. The tail sections 4 5 are bonded to the nose 3, the tail sections 4, 5 are bonded to each other, and the links 6 have enlarged ends that are trapped in recesses formed in the rigid tail 4. The nose 3 may be of polyurethane and the tail 4, 5 of a rigid light weight plastic material.
