ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed in the present application, a floating skimming barrier assembly for confining oil and removing it from the surface of water. The assembly comprises an elongated flexible sheet supported in a generally vertical position in the water by a plurality of spaced-apart flotation units. The collection of floating oil, which takes place only at certain locations along the length of the barrier is accomplished by skimming panel sub-assemblies attached to the barrier sheet. Each sub-assembly includes an inflated float, a frame upon which there is mounted a tank having a large inlet opening on its inner surface and an outlet conduit connected to the bottom of the tank and leading to a discharge end adapted to being connected to a flexible hose at the surface of the water. The barrier assembly including skimming sub-assemblies and other flotation units at regular intervals is compactly foldable for shipment in a packing case.
