Definitions

• the present invention in general, relates to breakwater structures Particularly, the invention relates to sea wave breaker configured to reduce the impact of crashing waves on the shore by producing a counter wave from the incoming wave and directing it against the following incoming waves
• US Pat No. 5655851 teaches a shoreline erosion control structure. But such a structure could get destroyed under the impact of forceful sea waves over a period of time.
• Chinese patent CN1414181 A discloses a guiding-wave type mole by wave-against-wave is composed of forward wave guide slope, concave‘surface and backward Wave guide cornice, the front wave is guided to turn tack upward to strike the rear wave, thereby the form a huge force countercurrent water body mole.
• said invention does not produce counter waves of increased momentum. Also, it might not produce desired results if the sea water level increases and partially or fully inundate the structure
• My invention proposes a sea wave breaker to reduce the impact of rising tides on the shore during a storm. It is configured to receive the incoming waves to create counter waves of increased velocity that is then directed onto the following incoming waves, therein breaking their momentum.
• It is yet another object of the invention io reauce me rorce or incoming waves by creating counter waves using the force of incoming waves and directing it on the following incoming waves.
• the present invention presents a sea wave breaker configured to be installed on sea shores, said wave breaker comprising of:
• a first part comprising of hollow rectangular structure (1) fixed on supports attached to the shore, wherein one end of said structure faces the sea;
• a second part comprising of hollow rectangular structure (2) held parallel to the . first part by means of pillars supported on the first part, wherein one end of said second part faces the direction of sea;
• FIG.1 illustrates the sea wave breaker.
• FIG.2 shows the sea wave breaker supported by stay wall.
• FIG 3 depicts the sea wave breaker with manhole.
• the sea wave breaker comprises of a hollow rectangular structure (1 ) with its one end facing the sea, wherein said structure is fixed on the sea shore by means of pillars (5), as shown in FIG.1
• the other end of the structure at a distance from the end facing the sea, bends over in a horse-shoe shape, wherein it further extends parallel to about half the length of the first part of the rectangular structure (1 ), as shown in the figure.
• the tip (4) of the top part (2) has a slanted opening.
• the sea wave breaker is constructed using steel or concrete as per user requirement.
• the top part of the structure (2) is supported on the first part (1 ) by one or more supports (6), as shown in FIG.1
• the bottom rectangular structure (1 ) - called the first part - has a height of 2.5 m and is 30m wide. The width reduces by about 20% at the bend as well as the top portion.
• the sea wave breaker is fixed on the sea shore, in front of a typical sea wall. It may also be installed in places where there is no sea wall. Multiple units of sea wave breaker apparatuses are arranged next to each other, wherein the individual units are connected using interlocking mechanism (7).
• the slots (8) for receiving the locking member of another sea wave breaker in an apparatus is depicted in FIG.2.
• the rectangular structure at the bottom is also provided with a manhole (9) as shown in the FIG.3.
• FIG.1 illustrates the operation of sea wave breaker.
• the rising waves from the sea enters through the opening (3) on the first part wherein it exits through the opening (4) at the top part to create a counter wave that slams against the incoming waves of the sea, therein breaking their momentum.
• the area of the horse-shoe shape bend and the top part of the sea wave breaker structure is . -lesser than at the first part of the rectangular structure, water is pushed out with greater momentum, therein creating a more powerful counter wave.
• a stay wall (10) is provided.
• the size, height and number of wave breakers may be varied as per requirement.
