Each of the panel structures includes an elongate rectangular pliable sheet of double thickness that has two elongate longitudinally extending buoyant members disposed on opposite sides thereof and secured thereto at positions intermediate the top and bottom thereof. The buoyant members cause a substantial section of the sheet to extend above the body of water and serve as a barrier to confine the oil slick floating thereon. Each of the panel structures has at least one intermediately disposed section that is of accordianlike structure that has a number of vertically disposed stiffeners included as a part thereof, which stiffeners serve to maintain the section in a substantially vertically disposed position when the section is floating on a body of water. The intermediate sections due to the accordianlike structure thereof, permit sheet sections on opposite sides thereof to shift vertically when subjected to wave action. Due to the above described construction of the panel sections, the panel structures not only tend to remain in a substantially vertical position when floating, but will not tip when subjected to wave action to the extent that oil from the slick may flow thereover. Stabilization of the panel structures when in a floating position is further attained by securing weights to the lower part of the portions thereof that are of accordianlike configuration.,下面是Buoyant oil slick retaining structure专利的具体信息内容。

1. A buoyant elongate rectangular panel structure that may be removably secured to others of said panel structures to define a continuous wall to confine an oil slick within the interior thereof when said panel structures are floating on a body of water, said panel structure comprising: a. two elongate rectangular sheets of a pliable sheet material that are disposed back to back and so held by stitching to define a panel, said panel including at least one intermediate first section and two second sections on each side thereof, said first section by stitching having a plurality of transverse pockets defined therein, and said panel at the longitudinal free ends thereof being cut out and stitched to define a plurality of transversely spaced loops that are alignable with a plurality of loops on an adjacently disposed panel; b. a plurality of lightweight elongate reinforcing members disposed in said pockets; c. two doubled-over elongate strips intermediately disposed between the longitudinal edges of said second sections that are secured to said second sections only and hold the pocketed intermEdiate section containing said reinforcing members in an accordionlike configuration, said strips spanning said intermediate section and extending substantially the length of said panel, said strips disposed on opposite sides of said panel, and said strips closed on the longitudinal ends thereof; d. elongate float means within said doubled over strips, which doubled-over strips serve as envelopes to house said float means; and e. elongate rigid means for engaging transversely aligned passages defined by said loops for connecting said panels in end to end relationship to define said continuous wall, with said wall when floating on a body of water having the portions thereof above said float means projecting upwardly above the surface of said water to act as a barrier to prevent oil within the confines of said wall escaping outwardly therefrom, and said first section of said panel due to the accordion structure thereof allowing independent vertical movement of said second sections by wave action to at all times provide a barrier to prevent escape of oil from within said continuous wall.
2. A panel structure as defined in claim 1 in which free longitudinal edge portions of said strips are in abutting contact to define longitudinal tabs that are in contact with said second sections, and said structure in addition including: f. a number of rigid fastening members that secure said tabs to said second sections of said panels.
3. A panel structure as defined in claim 2 in which said fastening members are bolts that extend through aligned transverse openings in said second sections and tabs and nuts that engage said bolts.
4. A panel structure as defined in claim 1 which in addition includes: f. weight means on at least the lower portion of said first section that tend to maintain said panel in a vertical floating position.
5. A panel structure as defined in claim 1 which in addition includes: f. first means on the longitudinal end of said panel that tend to prevent any escape of oil through spaces defined by said loops.
6. A panel structure as defined in claim 5 in which said first means are transversely positioned, longitudinally extending flaps stitched to said second sections.
7. A panel structure as defined in claim 1 in which said pockets in said first section are separated by doubled over stitched portions of said first section.
