Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for containing a liquid within another liquid, without both liquids coming into contact.
  • vessels that have a greater relationship with this invention are containers of significantly larger dimensions, since their use is especially focused on applications made in marine or river waters.
  • the problem that arises is the development of a container that can contain a liquid within another liquid, without mixing and that said container can be used not only on the surface of the surrounding liquid, but also submerged in the same, ensuring in any case the separation, without contact, of the liquid contained in the container and the surrounding liquid.
  • the container object of the present invention consisting of a container of simplified structure, of simple and economical manufacture and of easy folding and unfolding, suitable for being available in emergency situations; being especially applicable in the collection of large quantities of liquids discharged into other liquids and especially in marine waters.
  • this container comprises a container body, formed of a flexible and impermeable sheet material, intended to house a liquid to be stored or controlled and which defines a closed configuration, said container body disposing, at any point of its surface outside of at least one valve for the introduction into the interior of the liquid to be contained and for the subsequent extraction of said liquid.
  • the laminar and flexible character of the forming material of the container body allows the container to adopt a flat configuration when it is completely empty, that is to say that its internal surfaces are attached, and that it can be folded or rolled on itself in order to occupy a minimum space and that can be deployed quickly and easily at the time of use.
  • the container body in addition to facilitating its transport and allowing its immersion to be used underwater, allows the volume of the container body to increase progressively as the liquid is introduced into the interior, through the valve or valves mentioned. separate from surrounding liquid.
  • the container body of closed configuration and provided with a filling and emptying valve, may incorporate additional elements, such as a support body that acts as a float and tends to move it towards the surface of the surrounding liquid , or a ballast for stabilization within the surrounding liquid, or clamping devices for securing against currents of the surrounding liquid itself, which is especially interesting in marine and river applications.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient comprenant un corps contenant (1) à configuration fermée et destiné à loger un liquide (5) à contrôler. Ce corps contenant (1) est constitué d'une matière laminaire, souple et imperméable et comporte au moins une valve (11) d'ouverture et de fermeture pour l'introduction et l'extraction du liquide (5) à séparer du liquide de circonscription (6). Ledit récipient peut comporter divers compléments tels qu'un corps de support (2) sensiblement flottant par rapport au liquide de circonscription (6), un lest pour sa stabilisation ou des dispositifs de fixation (4) pour sa consolidation face à des courants du liquide de circonscription (6) même.
