SYSTEM ABSORBING SHOCKS ON VESSEL AND IMPROVING ITS MOTION

摘要

A compressible cushion is fixed on the hull of a boat or a vessel absorbing water-wave shocks and improving the hull flow; it may be fixed in a cavity of the hull. Some joints are described. The form of the compressible cushion will be such as to optimize shock absorption and flow conditions; it may also have adjustable compressibility. A compressible cushion attached to a rigid piece of material similar to a part of the hull forms a system easily attached to the hull.
