Claims17
A rain-guard device for shipping, comprising:
- a rail, which is placed on a sliding hatch cover that opens and closes an upper opening of a hold of a vessel;
- an on-board chute, which is provided in the rail in a travelable manner, which covers part of a hatch opening that is formed when the sliding hatch cover opens, and which, furthermore, supplies cargo from a shiploader into the hold;
- a lid member, which is placed in both front and rear in a traveling direction of the on-board chute, and which is configured to expand and contract as the on-board chute travels, in order to cover the rest of the hatch opening;
- and
- a water-blocking part, which prevents water from seeping into the hatch opening, through a gap between the lid member and the sliding hatch cover;
- the water-blocking part comprises a sheet-shaped first seal, which prevents water and wind from seeping in through the gap between the sliding hatch cover and the rail;
- one end part of the first seal is supported by the rail;
- and
- the other end part of the first seal is in contact with an upper surface of the sliding hatch cover.
