Submersible Isolation Enclosure Apparatus

摘要

Submersible isolation enclosure apparatus constructed of flexible, water resistant to water proof fabric or sheeting for enclosing and isolating selected areas of water bottom and water volume from surrounding water with access to the isolated bottom area exposed within a Base Member through one or more closed wall, tubular Access Member(s) connected to the Base Member and accessible from the water surface. Center-radial and perimeter portions of the Base Member fitted with attachment points and one or more tubular, closed wall Sleeve Members to allow for use of floatation, internal supporting rods or piping, and weights, to assist in the movement, positioning, shaping and securing of the apparatus to the selected water bottom area. Flexible fabric and weighting system allows the lower perimeter of the Base Member to conform to bottom structure.

主权项

1. A submersible aquatic collapsible enclosure apparatus for removal of contaminants, sediments and detritus from a target area of a water body, or for controlling aquatic fauna and flora within a target area of a water body, comprising:
a Base Member enclosure of flexible water resistant to water proof material having an exterior, an interior and an open bottom to contact the target area of the water body, wherein at the open bottom of the Base Member is a perimeter comprising flexible water resistant to water proof material configured into at least one Sleeve Member to receive floatation member, rigid rods or piping for structural support, or weights, to move, shape, position, or hold the Base Member over the target area; and at least one tubular Access Member of flexible water resistant to water proof material connected to the exterior of the Base Member and extending in the direction of the surface of the water body, the tubular Access Member having an exterior and an interior wherein the interior is configured to allow fluids and solids to enter and exit the interior of the Base Member.
