Abstract
An small compact framed control hydropholic material example, 18″×18″ clean up sheet that wind and water current will not effect it's shape removing light oil on an body of water surface and below surface.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat I claim is:
1 . The method of an flipper oil spill clean up system for removing light oil, from the surface of a body of water, said upper and lower water depth, which will prevent pads from lose its shape, that wind and water current want effect. Comprising a handle having first and second ends, the first end of the handle comprising a pivotal support, engaging a frame, said frame having floats, provided thereupon the frame supporting said a sheet of hydropholic material, (for example, a standard 18″×18 clean-up sheet) means two opposing end, joint togather inplace beteen two pair identical floats, support by spring hinge. Comprising protective changeable flat bar, mean on said for various size of clean up sheet, in an open taut exposed fashion said, that a majority of both side of the sheet are open and exposed. Comprising floats on opposing side of the frame, adjacent to the pivotal connection, said configured to provide angled opposing end, and side, or below, mean on said funneling light oil onto hydropholic material. And second end a handle mounted on said frame which telescope in 7 feet section which in motion propelling forward and down, and pulled back and down, and an level, which frame said different angle, frame swept through a body of water, said top surface and below water surface causing said a parachute affect on clean up sheet, and said positioned under the spill area and lifted, so that the water run through hydropholic material, while the oil adheres to the sheet, and small contaminated debris mix with light oil said collected; are removed which as framed and supported said forms a planar collection area said one side of the sheet is saturated with oil said lifting frame off water surface, or partial on water surface, becomes unbalanced, mean on said pivot the frame over exposing the un-used side of the clean up sheet, said lifting from under the water surface to the oil floating thereupon when the sheet is saturated on both side are replace.
2 . The flipper oil spill clean up system according to claim 1 said a frame surpport by comprising two parallel changeable flat bars, in which sloted, and srew wherein opposing bottem floats along top flat ends spacing and surpporting floats.
3 . The filpper oil spill clean up system as recited claim 1 comprising four identical floats said configured angle on each, two pairs of floats, fixes together said by spring hinge, which comprising two main floats parallel each other.
4 . The Filpper oil spill clean up system as recited in claim 3 comprising two floats that contain, and funnel light oil on collection area.
5 . The flipper oil spill clean up system as recited in claim 4 comprises two floats, that one side on each floats open up and close to install and remove clean up sheets.
6 . The flipper oil spill clean up system as recited in claim 5 comprises teeths between two floats, which fasten clean up sheets upon frame.
7 . The flipper oil spill clean up system as recited in claim 1 comprising pivotal frame in structure forming an opening freely fixed by a wish bone shape round bar, opposing on two bottem floats.
8 . The Flipper oil spill clean up system as recited in claim 1 comprising telesocpe adjustable handle which is mounted on the frame.
9 . The Flipper oil spill clean up system as recited in claim 1 comprising a frame which distance between oppose float causing loose area on clean up sheet to form a collecting pocket.
10 . The Fipper oil spill clean up system as recited in claim 3 comprising configured angle to limited oil breakage in water in operation motion.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
