摘要

A shield for protecting a well head and functional modules in an under sea station comprising a composite cushion formed from a floor 6 made from a material less dense than water, such as a plastic material or treated wood, and resting on a perforated metal sheet or grid 7, removably fixed by means of deformable feet 4 to a horizontal plate 1 mounted at the top of the module to be protected and having at the position where the guide column 2 passes an opening in which is welded a sleeve 14 capable of sliding along said guide columns 2. In a shield for protecting a module provided with a central connector, said plate has a central cage with vertical lateral wall for housing said connector, radial arms being fixed to the bodies of several shock absorbers spaced apart on said plate and to said wall of the cage for transmitting shock absorbing forces.
