摘要:
A system with an underwater vehicle for installation and de-installation of buoys (9) under sea level (6). The vehicle (10) comprises a buoyancy adjustment system (19) for continuously adjusting the buoyancy of the vehicle (10) during underwater operation. A gripper (24) is connected to the vehicle frame (10′) by an orientation adjustment mechanism (29, 30, 31) for adjusting the gripper (24) orientation when installing a buoy (9) onto a flexible underwater line or for deinstalling the buoy (9) therefrom. The vehicle (10) further comprises a controller for manoeuvring and operation.

A method of manufacturing a marine hose that includes a sponge layer and has good appearance. The marine hose includes at least a base hose (2), a sponge layer, a foam rubber layer, and a cover rubber layer (3). The method comprising the steps of: wrapping a sponge layer (A) around the outside of the base hose 2; wrapping a foam rubber layer (B) around the outside of the sponge layer (A), the foam rubber layer (B) containing an unvulcanized foam rubber composition; wrapping a cover rubber layer (3) around the outside of the foam rubber layer (B); and vulcanizing the wrapped assembly; wherein the foam rubber composition includes a rubber component containing as a main component at least one selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, ethylene propylene diene rubber, and reclaimed rubber; and, per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, from 1.1 to 50 parts by mass of a blowing agent and from 1.1 to 50 parts by mass of a blowing aid; and a blow ratio of the foam rubber composition after vulcanization is 1.1 or greater.

To provide a marine hose and a manufacturing method therefor capable of more reliably preventing components contained in the inner surface rubber layer from being eluted into the fluid being transported. A structure is provided in which a resin film 9 is applied to as to cover the inner peripheral surface of a nipple portion 2b and project from both ends in the longitudinal direction of a connection fitting 2, the resin film 9 that is projecting from a first end side is folded back and applied to the connection end face of a flange portion 2a and the connection fitting 2 is inserted into a mandrel 11 and set in a predetermined position, a separate resin film 9 is placed on the outer peripheral side of the mandrel 11 so as to overlap with the resin film 9 projecting from a second end side of the connection fitting 2, members are successively layered onto the outer peripheral side of the resin film 9 to form a molding 1A, which is vulcanized thereby forming a resin layer 9 that covers the inner peripheral side of the inner surface rubber layer 3 and the nipple portion 2b with the resin film 9, the resin layer 9 extends to the connection end face of the flange portion 2a.

Provided is a marine hose line and a marine hose that avoid increasing the diameter and reducing the flexibility of the hose body portion, and is capable of preventing the marine hose line from sinking to a water bottom, even if an end portion of the marine hose line let out onto water from a take-up reel is cut off from a coupling and falls to the surface of the water. A sinking-resisting device 8 installed on an end portion on the take-up reel 14 side of the marine hose line L, includes a sinking-resisting body 10 installed on the outer surface of the marine hose line L in a folded-up state, and an expander 11 that expands the folded-up sinking-resisting body 10. After the end portion of the marine hose line L is cut off from the coupling 15, the expander 11 is activated to expand the folded-up sinking-resisting body 10, and the drag from the expanded sinking-resisting body 10 in the water prevents the end portion of the marine hose line L from sinking.
摘要:
A water surface floating body with light reflective material excelling in durability, being free from the trouble of maintenance, and being able to maintain its reflective capability over long periods of time is provided. This water surface floating body is a water surface floating body such as an oil transport hose, oil fence, anti- pollution dispersing film and the like floated on the surface of water even at night. A light reflective material comprising glass beads having a metal vapor-deposited film provided thereon is attached to the outer surface of the floating body.

A moulded plastics article 1 comprises a hollow body with a lower portion 2 and an upper portion 3. In a desired in-use orientation of the article, the lower portion 2 of the body is lowermost and the upper portion 3 is uppermost. The article has an integrally moulded ballast which in this case is in the form of a number of inwardly projecting ribs 10 which extend generally radially from the wall of the lower portion of the hollow body. The ribs 10 are of different lengths, the longer ribs being provided at the lowest section of the body and the radial extent of the ribs decreasing upwardly. The thickness of the outer wall of the hollow body and the thickness of the ribs 10 is substantially the same. Thus the article has substantially uniform wall thickness.
