  • the holding elements 11 and the base elements 12 are connected via cables 13, the base elements 12 being movable relative to the holding elements 11 by means of winches 14 arranged on the holding elements 11 or on the guide device 15.
  • the base element 12 is designed as a transport housing 16, which receives the support structure 5 with the sound reduction elements 10 outside the water 3.
  • the transport housing 16 is preferably a lattice cage open at the top. If the floor element 12 is let down into the water 3, the sound reduction elements 10 float.
  • the support structure 5 and noise reduction elements 10 are pulled down to the underwater bottom 2 and thus spread over the entire water column.
  • the upper end 7 of the support structure 5 floats freely on the water surface.
  • the holding elements 11 are fixed to the guide device 15 by means of ropes or shackles. After positioning the object 1, the hydraulic silencer 4 is closed.
  • the bottom element 12 After closing, the bottom element 12 is lowered.
  • the opening and closing of the hydraulic noise damper 4 is preferably carried out above the water level, the sound-reducing elements 10 receiving no buoyancy.
  • Figure 26 shows a special embodiment of a hydraulic silencer 4, in which a bottom element 12 has been placed on the underwater bottom 2.
  • Numerous support structures 5 with sound-reducing elements 10, which are independent of one another, are arranged on this floor element 12.
  • the lower ends 8 of the support structures 5 are connected to the base element 12, which suppresses further ascent of the support structures 5 and noise reduction elements 10.
  • the support structures 5 consist of individual ropes or narrow mesh strips or are individual mesh tubes, in the interior of which the sound reduction elements 10 are arranged.
  • Each of the support structures 5 has a side flank 6 to the support structures 5 adjacent to it.
  • This embodiment variant of the hydraulic silencer 4 has a multiple division and can therefore be penetrated simply because the upper ends 7 of the support structures 5 are free and avoid a passing object 1.
