CA 2217629

Spill containment apparatus especially adapted for use at a railroad siding to catch inadvertent chemical spills includes a shallow, rectangular pan having upstanding, opposed sidewalls and upstanding, opposed endwalls. Flaps are pivotally connected to the sidewalls near the upper edges thereof. The flaps can be moved from a first position where they are stored inside the pan to a second position where they extend laterally outside the pan and over the railroad tracks. A longitudinally movable cover is provided for the pan, the cover being mounted on tracks for back and forth movement between a first position where the pan is covered to a second position where the pan is exposed. In the second position of the cover, the flaps are permitted to move between their first and second positions. Because the flaps can be stored inside the pan, the size of the pan when not in service is relatively small. Because the flaps can be extended in use, the effective surface area protected by the pan is quite large.

Cette invention concerne un dispositif de confinement des déversements accidentels de produits chimiques sur voies ferroviaires d'évitement. Le dispositif est formé d'une cuvette peu profonde et rectangulaire à parois verticales de bout et de côté. Les parois de côté comportent un volet monté à charnière sur leur rive supérieure. Ledit volet peut pivoter d'une première position où il est rabattu à l'intérieur de la cuvette à une seconde position où il recouvre les rails situés de part et d'autre de la cuvette. La cuvette est également équipée d'un couvercle mobile dans le sens longitudinal et monté sur glissières pour pouvoir coulisser dans un sens et découvrir la cuvette puis coulisser dans le sens opposé pour refermer cette dernière. Pour pouvoir déplier les volets, il suffit de faire coulisser le couvercle en position ouverte. La possibilité de rabattre les volets à l'intérieur de la cuvette réduit l'encombrement du dispositif et celle de les déplier permet de protéger une surface relativement grande.
