Helicopter deck preferably for use in offshore oil drilling production platforms
| Details |
Inventors: Birkeland, Magnus;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Blix; Trygve M.
Assistant Examiner: Sotelo; Jesus D.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Ladas & Parry
A helicopter deck (1) preferably for use on offshore oil drilling/production platforms and provided with a fire extinguishing system. The periphery of the deck is provided with a gutter (2) having one, and preferably several, down pipes (3) distributed around the periphery of the deck. Centrally in the deck, water discharge orifices (4) are provided, supplied with water under pressure for flooding the deck surface (5). Control levers (6) are arranged at the periphery of the deck for controlling the supply of water under pressure to the water discharge orifices (4) via valves. On the surface of the deck (5), a grate (7) is provided, preferably subdivided into grate sector units (10') comprising parallel diagonal ribs (8) which together with diagonal ribs in adjacent grate sector units (10') surround the water discharge orifices (4). Each diagonal rib (8) forms an acute angle relative to the deck surface (5), the angle facing toward the water discharge orifices (4), said ribs being supported and spaced a distance above the deck surface (5) by spacer members (9) which form watertight walls dividing the deck surface (5) into sectors (10). The water discharge orifices discharge in a horizontal, radial direction beneath the diagonal ribs (8). |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A helicopter deck (1) preferably for use on offshore oil drilling/production platforms and provided with a fire extinguishing system, said deck having a plurality of down pipes (3) distributed around the periphery of the deck, water discharge orifices (4) disposed centrally in the deck and supplied with water under pressure for flooding the deck surface (5), and control levers (6) disposed at the periphery of the deck for controlling the supply of water under pressure to the water discharge orifices (4) via valves, characterized in that a grate (7) is provided on the deck surface (5), having diagonal ribs (8) spaced a distance above the deck surface (5) and surrounding the water discharge orifices (4), each said rib forming an acute angle relative to the deck surface (5) with the angle (.
alpha.
) facing toward the water discharge orifices (4), said ribs (8) being supported by radially extending spacer members (9) on the deck surface (5).
2.
A helicopter deck according to claim 1, characterized in that at least three of said spacer members (9) form watertight walls which divide the deck surface (5) into sectors (10).
3.
A helicopter deck according to claim 2, characterized in that the diagonal ribs (8) form polygons with mutually parallel edges surrounding the central section of the deck with the water discharge orifices (4), and that each section of the grate (7) having mutually parallel ribs (8) forms a sector (10).
4.
A helicopter deck according to claim 3, characterized in that each grate sector (10) constitutes a unit (10') for connection to adjacent grate sector units (10').
5.
A helicopter deck according to claim 4, characterized in that adjacent edges (10") of the grate sector units (10') comprise said spacer members (9) which form the watertight walls.
6.
A helicopter deck according to claim 1, characterized in that water discharge orifices (4) discharge at a level beneath the diagonal ribs (8) of the grate (7) in a horizontal direction of flow (A)
