摘要：A boom for collecting material floating on the surface of a body of water which,by its configuration, requires considerably less inflation air to achieve the requireddegree of buoyancy to float the boom than is normally required. One embodimentincorporates an elongated collapsible first tube compartmentalized into a series ofsequential compartments. Within such compartments are located inflatable flotationtubing which expands the walls of these compartments thus displacing water, therebyincreasing the buoyancy of the boom. Such inflatable floatation tubing may be configuredas a longitudinal sequence of inflatable annular rings within these compartments; or, theinflatable floatation tubing may be configured as a spiral coil disposed along the lengthof the compartments biasing the walls of the compartments outwardly. The inflationtubing can be connected by a conduit to a tube secured to and extending the length ofthe first tube for providing inflation gas thereto.
