Abstract
This invention provides means for supporting a hydraulic nozzle (of the type utilized, for example, to obtain valuable mineral ores from ocean depths) with a support surface in a manner so that the attitude of the support surface relative to the ocean floor remains constant. The means includes a system of pivotable, parallel levers or supports which interact during pivoting of the support surface to maintain the support surface in the same attitude.
