Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flexible fluid containment vessel (sometimes hereinafter referred to as "FFCV") for transporting and containing a large volume of fluid, particularly fluid having a density less than that of salt water, more particularly, fresh water, and the method of making the same.
- FFCV flexible fluid containment vessel
- the cargo is fluid or a fluidized solid that has a density less than salt water; there is no need to use rigid bulk barges, tankers or containment vessels. Rather, flexible containment vessels may be used and towed or pushed from one location to another. Such flexible vessels have obvious advantages over rigid vessels. Moreover, flexible vessels, if constructed appropriately, allow themselves to be rolled up or folded after the cargo has been removed and stored for a return trip.
- Fresh water is such a commodity that harvesting of the ice cap and icebergs is rapidly emerging as a large business. However, wherever the fresh water is obtained, economical transportation thereof to the intended destination is a concern.
- FFCVs under tow tend to exhibit sinusoidal movements and/or yaw which interfere with their smooth transport and give rise to undue wear and tear.
- an object of the present invention to provide an efficient system and method for stabilizing an FFCV under tow in water. It is a further object of the invention to provide a fabric construction for an FFCV which may be readily varied to meet possible changing requirements for the FFCV.
- an FFCV according to the invention includes at least one segment made up of a fabric. Two ends of the fabric are beaded and are joined together so as to form a generally cylindrical section. The interface, along which the ends of the fabric are joined, forms a keel that serves to stabilize the completed FFCV when the FFCV is placed in water.
- Figure 1 is a somewhat general perspective view of a prior art FFCV which is cylindrical having a pointed bow or nose;
- FIG. 2 is a somewhat general perspective view of an FFCV which is formed in segments, incorporating the teachings of the present invention
- Figure 3 is a perspective view useful in describing the formation of an FFCV section incorporating the teachings of the present invention
- Figure 4 shows a seam construction in accordance with the present invention
- Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing an illustrative FFCV construction in accordance with the present invention.
- the proposed FFCV 10 is intended to be constructed of an impermeable textile tube.
- the tube's configuration may vary.
- it would comprise a tube 12 having a substantially uniform diameter (perimeter) and sealed on each end 14 and 16.
- the respective ends 14 and 16 may be closed, pinched, and sealed in any number of ways.
- a means for loading and unloading cargo e.g. fresh water
- the resulting impermeable structure which is fabricated out of segments or strips of material 18 will be flexible enough to be folded or wound up for transportation and storage.
- certain factors should be considered.
- the present device may have application with regard to the spiral formed FFCV as disclosed in co-pending U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/908,877 filed July 18, 2001 entitled "Spiral Formed Flexible FFCV”.
- Fluid Containment Vessel and incorporated herein by reference. While there is discussed therein means and methods for joining the wound strips together to form an FFCV, an alternative thereto is disclosed in the aforesaid first mentioned patent application for all or part of the joining process. For example, in high load portions of the FFCV, typically the front and rear, one methodology may be used. For less stressful locations another methodology may be used.
- the fabric 18 can be that of a patchwork to create the FFCV, wound strip or of other configuration suitable for the purpose.
- it may be made in segments of flat fabric that has one of its dimensions equal to that of the circumference of the FFCV which is formed into a tube and joined with other so formed segments.
- the variations are endless.
- Figure 3 there is shown a perspective view of an FFCV section formed according to the invention.
- a rectangular piece of flat woven fabric 20 is provided.
- Two opposing ends of the fabric, 22a and 22b are beaded such that they can be joined through stitching, sintering, cauterizing, gluing, bonding, overlapping, stapling and/or any other suitable joining method.
- the FFCV section takes on a generally cylindrical shape.
- the preferred method of joining the two ends involves using a "circus-tent" type of stitching, that is a hemming stitch, half-cross stitch, or the like.
- the ends are brought together by the stitching and then the stitching is covered using a two-part reactive resin system.
- the covering can be, but is not limited to a sheath laminated by adhesive, or a curable liquid coating applied via spraying.
- the preferable covering material for the seam is two- part polyurethane.
- the covering is preferably performed on the inner surface 24a of the generally cylindrical section rather than on the outer surface 24b, creating a water tight seal while leaving the stitching visible and accessible from outside the FFCV. By constructing the section with the stitching visible and accessible from the outside, inspection and maintenance of the seam are facilitated.
- Figure 4 shows a seam 26 formed through circus- tent stitching 28.
- a two-part covering 30 is included in the figure but is pealed back to reveal the stitching underneath.
- the two ends 22a and 22b of the flat woven fabric 20 are beaded and include holes for the stitching.
- it is preferable that the stitching is visible from outside the FFCV section.
- an FFCV 32 constructed in part from segments like that shown in Figure 3. More specifically, the FFCV shown in Figure 5 includes four such segments 34, 36, 38 and 40. These segments are joined so as to form and overall generally cylindrical body for the FFCV.
- One way of joining the segments is to use the same stitching and covering technique used to form the individual segments, as described in connection with Figure 3. Although, it should be noted that many alternative techniques for joining the segments will apparent to the skilled designer when viewed in light of this disclosure.
- the FFCV includes a bow segment 42, a stem segment 44, a bow cap 46 and a stem cap 48.
- the stem segment and bow segment are each formed in a manner similar to the segment of Figure 3, one possible exception being that the stem and bow segments are not formed from rectangular pieces of flat woven fabric, but rather, are formed from curved pieces of the fabric. When formed from curved pieces of fabric, the stem and bow segments take on a generally non-cylindrical shape.
- the bow and stem segments, as well as the caps, may be joined to the overall body in the same manner that the body segments are joined to each other.
- each of the segments 34-44 include keel-like seams, respectively denoted as 34s-44s.
- the seams are aligned so that they form a single keel 50 that runs along the greater portion of the FFCV.
- the keel generally faces downward when the FFCV is placed in a body of water such that the keel is below the surface of the water. In this manner the keel provides stability when the FFCV is under tow, suppressing unwanted snaking and/or yaw.
- FFCV FFCV
- FFCV FFCV
- a coating which includes a germicide or a fungicide so as to prevent the occurrence of bacteria or mold or other contaminants.
- the FFCV may include as part of its coating, or the fiber used to make up the fabric, a UN protecting ingredient in this regard.
