1. The BUOYANT DIVISOR is a found soldier from. thepotential of use, according to me grandiose,. enough think about how much ships and for depenmdence from them how much people will be savedfrom the consequences, of the sinkling, not forgetting the damages to the nature that they could be avoided. I vindicate therefore : l) the idea of insert the BUOYANT DIVISOR that they defend the inside volume from the occupation of the water in the box of air and they therefore protect the buoyancy.
2. Form the extension for the positioning of the BUOYANT DIVISOR that allows the fixing to the positioning, necessary elasticity for elevated difference of temperature owed to the different geographical position, for the transport when is completely closed The. BUOYANT DIVISOR bears from the made reasoning after have seen the recovery of a sink barge and together to the made considerations thank you to the experience of job in sea. Therefore each similar or identical object to the BUOYANT DIVISOR is from restrain copied ; besides any other beginning of operation, of other objects, alike to that of the BUOYANT DIVISOR is from restrain copied.
Description:
Buoyant Divisor Able divisor o£ afloator pratectio of the buoyancy Techincal field (1) The technical field in which the BUOYANT DIVISOR finds application is the naval on in fact-his principal function is that of prevent to a ship or afloat of sink. From their function bears the name.

Background art (2) <BR> <BR> The BUOYANT DIVISOR is a method of better protection as regards the method already<BR> existing : the boxes of. air. In fact in the hypothesis that these boxes are damaged during the cruise the ship sink equally.

Disclosure of invention (3) Each box of air full of BUOYANT DIVISOR-receives the protection of the own inside volume from the entrance of water, therefore protection of the own buoyancy, making unlikely the sinking of ships or afloat. I have performed a dwarfish experiment Box of pond-with cover, zipper and closing, long cm. 34, wide cm. 19,5, tall cm. 10 a tub of sweet water, two bottles plastic dams and empty from two liters each Staid the box. an the water, it has immersion of left ahead and behind, cml, 3; right ahead and behind, cm1,6 Average cml, 45.

Box with inside the two plastic empty and empty bottles of water, it has immersion of left ahead and behind cm1, 5, right ahead and behind, cml, 6. In middle cm. 1,55.

Box with inside the two empty and plain bottles of water, it has immersion of left ahead, and behind cm3,5, right ahead and behind cm5,4. In middle cm 4, 45 : Full of box only water, it has immersion of sink. The BUOYANT DIVISOR-that they break, because-of a tear, immediately. from the ship, they. am those to contact with the bump In case-of fire on the <BR> <BR> ship, it is possible will fill the boxes of-air you take-an-interest in-the accident with sea water<BR> <BR> by. means of the opening of the taking to sea and outlets of air, creating as a circuit of<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> constant cooling. That is possible shortly time for the smalL available space to the water in<BR> the boxes, thank you to the presence of the BUOYANT DIVISOR.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <P>Brief description of drawings 4)<BR> <BR> Briet description of drawings (4)<BR> <BR> BUOYANT DIVISOR (able divisor of float or protection of the buoyancy) They are of the parallelpiped of material plastic or derived with the sides to accordion with a cork to lives to the center of the superior side.

On the angles of the two bases (superior and inferior) there are 8 buttonholes, one to each angle for the fixing. Greatness: proportionate to the tonnage of the ship or afloat. The sides are to accordion, for the need-to-elasticity owed to the variation of relative pressure to the difference. of temperature. Besides it you allows the extension removing the cork to lives and puts again it to happened extension- Best mode for carrying out the invention (5} The-BUOYANT DIVISOR is usefiJLfor all the, ships-and afloat above all for CHIMICEOBRE, OIL-TANKERS, PASSENGERS and SHIPS from WAR.
