![]() ![]() The dredge vehicle of claim 1 wherein the nozzle opening faces in a generally forwardly and obliquely downwardly direction.ĥ. The dredging means of claim 2 wherein the forward shield surface of the water-deflecting means decreases in width in an upwardly direction.Ĥ. ![]() The dredge vehicle of claim 1 comprising stop means for maintaining the shield at a forward rest position and wherein the forward shield surface of the water-deflecting shield extends, at rest, at an angle in the range of from about 45° to about 60° to a plane parallel to the chassis members designed to support the dredge vehicle during its forward movement.ģ. A dredge vehicle, capable of moving along the bottom of a body of water, the vehicle comprising a chassis, a suction-type dredging nozzle body having a substantially vertically elongated surface facing in a forward direction and a nozzle opening at the bottom of said surface facing in a forward direction, the nozzle body being pivotably supported from its top upon the chassis and a water flow-deflecting shield pivotably supported from its top upon the chassis at a location forward of and adjacent to the forwardly facing surface of the nozzle, the shield having a forward-facing shield surface which angles downwardly rearwardly from the pivotable support so as to downwardly deflect, towards the nozzle opening, a free flow stream of water impinging upon the forward shield surface.Ģ. The patentable embodiment of this inventionġ. ![]()
