Abstract There is disclosed in the present application, a floating skimming barrier assembly for confining oil and removing it from the surface of water. The assembly comprises an elongated flexi- ble sheet supported in a generally vertical position in the water by a plurality of spaced-apart flotation units. The collection of floating oil, which takes place only at certain locations along the length of the barrier is accomplished by skimming panel sub- assemblies attached to the barrier sheet. Each sub-assembly in- cludes an inflated float, a frame upon which there is mounted a tank having a large inlet opening on its inner surface and an out- let conduit connected to the bottom of the tank and leading to a discharge end adapted to being connected to a flexible hose at the surface of the water. The barrier assembly including skimming sub- assemblies and other flotation units at regular intervals is com- pactly foldable for shipment in a packing case.
