This invention relates to a flexible, collapsible, floating container (1) for receiving and holding liquids such as oil recovered from oil spills. Specifically, the invention relates to a continuous, sealed, collapsible container having an upper portion which has a positive buoyancy to maintain an upright position of the container while collapsed and when filled with oil. A rigid ring (2) with a valve (4) for introducing the liquid is located in the upper portion. A stabilizer to prevent rotation and provide stability may be attached to a lower portion of the container. A strengthening layer, such as nylon mesh (16) could be added to surround the container (1), as well as a harness for lifting the container out of the water. The container (1) expands and floats as it becomes filled.

La présente invention concerne un réservoir flottant, pliant et souple (1), destiné à recevoir et à conserver des liquides tels que du pétrole récupéré après un déversement accidentel. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un réservoir pliant, étanche et continu, dont la partie supérieure a une flottabilité positive pour maintenir le réservoir en position droite quand il est replié et quand il est rempli de pétrole. Un anneau rigide (2), pourvu d'une soupape (4) pour l'introduction du liquide, se trouve dans la partie supérieure. Un stabilisateur servant à empêcher la rotation et à assurer la stabilité peut être fixé à une partie inférieure du réservoir. Une couche de renforcement, comme un filet en nylon (16), pourrait être ajoutée pour entourer le réservoir (1), de même qu'un harnais servant à le lever hors de l'eau. Le réservoir (1) se déploie et flotte pendant qu'on le remplit.
