Abstract

The invention relates to carrier device (1) for adjustable displacement of a flushing device (2) between a non-operative position and an operative position for use for obstruct boarding at piracy. The carrier device (1) comprises at least one attachment member (3a-3f) and a flushing device bracket (4), said flushing device bracket (4) being configured to receive said flushing device (2). The flushing device bracket (4) in the carrier device (1) is statically provided and the flushing device bracket (4) comprises at least one locking means (5) which is configured such that the locking means (5) in an open position permits displacement of the flushing device (2) relative to the flushing device bracket (4) between said non-operative and said operative positions. The flushing device (2) comprises a flushing head (17) and/or flushing nozzles (18a-18d) which are displaceably provided for location, at the non-operative position, within the rail (21 ) and, at the operative position, outside the rail (21).

Abstract

Device for cleaning of closed spaces using a sprayed liquid, including a housing (1) with a stationary part (2) configured to receive liquid into the device and a rotatable part (3) arranged with the stationary part (2). The rotatable part (3) is rotatably arranged with a hub (4) with at least one spray nozzle (5). In the housing (1) there is an axis (6) with one part connected to a rotation generating element (7) in the housing (1) and another part provided with threads forming a worm screw (8). The worm screw (8) is arranged to fit into the threads of an adjacent first gear wheel (9) forming a worm gear (10). The worm gear (10) is configured to transmit rotational force from the rotation generating element (7) via the axis (6) for rotating the hub (4) and the rotatable part (3). The rotation generating element (7), the axis (6) and the worm gear (10) are arranged in a flow path (11) for liquid passing through the device, whereby the bulk of the liquid flows through the worm gear (10) in a direction towards at least one spray nozzle (5).

Abstract

The present invention concerns a flushing device (1) comprising a flush liquid pipe (6) arranged in an enclosed space (2) with at least one flush head (7) which is substantially rotatable about the longitudinal axis (A) of the flush liquid pipe, and a nozzle device (8) arranged on said flush head, being substantially rotatable about an axis (B) extending substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of said flush liquid pipe, having one or more nozzles (9, 11) for the provision of one or more flush liquid streams (10, 12) directed substantially against the inside of said enclosed space for the cleaning thereof. To provide a flushing device (1) which also permits cleaning of components of the flushing device which are located within the enclosed space (2), at least one of said one or more nozzles (9, 11) of the nozzle device (8) are arranged and/or formed such that at least a portion of the flush liquid streams (10 and 12) from the nozzle during at least a portion of the rotation of the nozzle device contacts the flush liquid pipe (6) along a portion of the periphery of the flush liquid pipe and such that at least said portion of the flush liquid stream from the nozzle contacts the flush liquid pipe during rotation of the flush head (7) along the entirety of, or a portion of, its periphery, thereby cleaning the flush liquid pipe.

Abstract

An anti-pirate system to prevent boarding of a vessel. The system comprises a number of spray devices (2) each with at least one nozzle (3) configured, upon activation, to spray out a liquid (4) which is supplied to the respective spray device (2) via a liquid-bearing arrangement. The spray devices (2) are configured to be disposed along at least one side (5) of the vessel and to be so disposed on the vessel that the respective nozzles of the spray device (2) are disposed in a position situated outside the vessel's side (5) or rail (6), so that spraying of liquid (4) out from each nozzle (3) results in the liquid (4) being sprayed from it in a direction which substantially follows the vessel's side (5).

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for cleaning of enclosed spaces (1) by means of a sprayed liquid. The device comprises an outer unit (2) situated outside the enclosed space (1) and an inner unit (3) situated within the enclosed space (1). The outer unit (2) comprises a drive device (4). Said inner unit (3) comprises at least one flushing pipe (5a) and at least one spray head (6), to which spray head (6) at least one spray nozzle (7a-b) is fitted. The spray head (6) is connected rotatably to the flushing pipe (5a). The flushing pipe (5a) comprises at least one rotatable element (8a) which communicates with, and is caused to rotate by, said drive device (4) and therefore causes the spray head (6) with spray nozzle (7a-b) to rotate so that liquid sprayed out from at least one nozzle (7a-b) during rotation sweeps over the inside of the enclosed space (1). Said liquid flows both within said flushing pipes (5a-b) and in at least two flow directions to a free end (10) of a flushing pipe (5a-b), at which free end (10) a spray head (6) is connected.
