ABSTRACT:
A lipped mouth structure with lips engaging the side of a ship such as an oil tanker around an area of puncture or rupture with a flexible diaper container fastened to the lips and extended outward therefrom. The lip structure has transverse cross brace bars retained in molded pockets of the lip structure with the lips in the form of inflatable rings of rubber (synthetic rubber or rubber like plastic) having a soft pliable surface engaging the side of a ship. Vertically oriented straps with "D" rings at their opposite ends are provided for tying the straps and the lip structure in place on the side of a damaged ship with cables attached to the "D" rings. The flexible diaper container is supported by floats spaced strategically along the length thereof to support the diaper container in its extension along the surface of the water while flexing with wave action of the sea. A float also supports a suction pipe section extending into the interior of the diaper container, suction pipe connectors and valves along with air line and valve equipment for feeding air to the inflatable lips.
