主权项

1. A floating tank blanket comprising one or more floats, each said float including:
upper and lower sheets that are chemically inert and coupled together and defining a hollow interior or cavity between the upper and lower sheets; a positively buoyant or floatable filler within the hollow interior or cavity for imparting or increasing floatation or positive buoyancy; whereby the one or more floats are arrangeable within a tank for covering at least a portion of a surface of a liquid within the tank; and whereby the one or more floats allow a part to be immersed into and removed from the liquid in the tank while the one or more floats remain covering the at least a portion of the surface of the liquid and inhibiting fumes from escaping the tank.
