Abstract
This floating boom comprises a flexible structure forming a barrier provided with transverse stiffeners to which are secured floats adapted to support this structure in a substantially vertical position in water. The stiffeners are designed so as to be resiliently bent at their lower part under the action of the water current for a velocity of the water current sufficient to cause bending without causing any substantial change in the inclination of the remainder of the boom in water.
