SELF PROPELLED VESSEL FOR THE COLLECTION OF SOLID RESIDUE IN PORTS, RIVERS, LAGOONS, AND PONDS.

摘要

A vessel for capturing and removing solid residues and aquatic weeds, as well as for collecting, draining and conveying them to the ground. The vessel comprises an elevated structure which is mounted on floats, from where a pivoting arm is forwardly projected. The propulsion engines and cranks, that are located at the rear section thereof, are useful as actuators of a pair of paddlewheels. The pivoting arm has a proximal and elevated end portion with respect to the surface of the water, and a distal end that includes a pair of pluralities of upper and lower vertical fins for the waste extractor which can be a tilting blade or a clamshell grab, actuated by a hydraulic system. The blade includes a shear-cutting comb.
