ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for dissipating surface waves to protect floating or fixed structures comprises a floatable carpet formed of floating motor vehicle tires which are horizontally disposed and arranged in rows. Flexible spacers interconnect the tires in such a manner that the floating carpet provides a structure that is stiff in the horizontal direction and flexible in the vertical direction. The individual tires assume zig-zag inclinations to the portions for interconnecting the tires in the upper and lower areas thereof, and inflatable supporting hoses extending between adjacent tires in the areas between the upper and lower spacers.
