  • Method of delivering to ocean bottom and raising to surface of station for deep water researches and design of station delivered using said method
    Patent number: 4557697
    Abstract: A method of delivering to the ocean bottom and raising to the surface of a station provided with instrument packages for deep-water researches is realized by way of free submergence of the station in a water mass under the action of negative buoyancy of a ballast weight, landing of the station to the bottom, dropping of the ballast weight upon completing the bottom researches, and free emergence of the station under the action of positive buoyancy of a float module. In the course of free submergence, the station is divided into a unit comprising the instrument packages and a unit comprising the ballast weight and the float module, the unit comprising the instrument packages is directed along a path differing from the path of the free-falling unit comprising the ballast weight, thus ensuring the landing of the instrument packages at a predetermined distance from the ballast weight.

  • Apparatus for taking bedrock samples from bottom of deep-water basins
    Patent number: 4345461
    Abstract: The apparatus for taking bedrock samples from the bottom of deep-water basins includes a self-contained device for obtaining spot samples of bedrock from the bottom of deep-water basins and more particularly to devices for taking bedrock samples from the bottom of deep-water basins.The apparatus for taking bedrock samples from the bottom of deep-water basins is provided with a working member made in the form of a split housing having an open bottom and accommodating a shell to be destroyed by an initiating device at the moment the working member comes in contact with the bottom of a water basin, and a device for catching and holding a sample.

  • Arrangement for transporting solid materials from the bottom of basins
    Patent number: 4155491
    Abstract: The arrangement is mainly designed for transporting solid minerals from the floor of the ocean to a support vessel. The arrangement comprises an endless flexible carrier which is made of interconnected container sections. Each section has two chambers -- a load chamber and a float chamber. The arrangement also has means for batched loading of the chambers with solid mineral and compressed gas. During operation of the arrangement, the load chambers are loaded with solid mineral and the float chambers are filled with gas so that the loaded sections of the carrier acquire a positive buoyancy thus enabling displacement of the entire carrier.
