Abstract
The motion reduction apparatus improves the safety of operation of a floating body floating on water by reliably reducing motion of the floating body, and has an orthorhombic shaped floating main body (11), a plumb plate supported vertically on one side section of the floating main body by means of stay members (13), and flow sections (15) for flooding with incoming water are provided between the floating main body and the plumb plate in such a way that an upper end section of the plumb plate is at about the same height as the bottom surface of the floating main body.
Claims26
A motion reduction apparatus for a floating body floating on water comprising a plumb plate provided at least on a wavefront side of a floating main body and separated from the floating main body by a specific distance and extended beyond a bottom surface of the floating main body substantially in a vertical direction.
A motion reduction apparatus for a floating body floating on water comprising a horizontal plate provided at least on a wavefront side of a floating main body and separated from the floating main body by a specific distance and extended substantially along a horizontal direction.
A motion reduction apparatus for a floating body floating on water comprising a swing plate provided at least on a wavefront side of a floating main body and separated from the floating main body by a specific distance so as to enable to position the swing plate in a retracted position situated above a bottom surface of the floating main body, or in a horizontal position situated substantially at the same level as the bottom surface of the floating main body;
- or in a vertical position to extend downward beyond the bottom surface of the floating main body.
A motion reduction apparatus for a floating body floating on water comprising a water surface plate provided at least on either a front section or a back section of a floating main body having an orthorhombic shape in disposed along a water surface.
A motion reduction apparatus for a floating body floating on water comprising a plate member provided at least on a wavefront side of a floating main body disposed in such a way that an edge section of the plate member proximal to the floating main body is separated from the floating main body by a specific distance.
A motion reduction apparatus for a floating body floating on water combing an L-shaped plate member provided at least on a front section or a back section of a floating main body and disposed in such a way that he L-shaped plate member extend outward, and that the bottom section of the L-shaped plate member is situated below the water level.
A motion reduction apparatus for a floating body floating on water having a floating main body of an orthorhombic shape comprising a water surface plate along a water surface or an outwardly extending L-shaped plate member, disposed on either a front section or a back section of the floating main body, to extend in a longitudinal direction in such a way that a bottom section of the L-shaped plate member is situated below the water surface.
A motion reduction apparatus for a column-shaped floating body floating on water having a motion reduction plate disposed on an outer periphery of the floating main body approximately at the same level as a bottom section of the floating main body.
