PROTECTIVE NET FOR CIVILIAN SHIP AGAINST MINE AND THE LIKE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent sinking and damage caused by a mine, torpedo, or the like by preparing a cover with a net stretched over a hexagonal pillar or the like fitted with weights withstanding the swell of the sea, around a ship, making the net react to the mine or torpedo in the same way as the ship bottom to make it explode at a distance of no influence on the ship. ;SOLUTION: A cover with a net 1 stretched over a hexagonal pillar is prepared around a ship. A pillar of any shape such as an elliptic pillar, a quadrilateral pillar or an octagonal pillar will do. Weights 2 are fitted to the net 1 so as to withstand the sell of the sea. The net 1 reacts to a mine or a torpedo in the same way as the ship bottom and hinders it by physical, magnetic or other methods to make it explode at a distance of no influence on a ship body. At the time of no need or entry into port, the cover can be put away by moving it circularly around the edge of each side as a fulcrum. Even in the case of entering a water area with a mine left from wartime by some errors, this protective net against the mine of the like can solve the situation.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
