The present invention relates to a silt restoration device comprising a
vertical support member having an upper end and a lower end, wherein the
upper end is connected to an upper horizontal support member with the
longitudinal length of the vertical support member being substantially
perpendicular to the longitudinal length of the upper horizontal support
member. At least one tire will be positioned on the vertical support
member below the upper horizontal support member in a substantially
vertical position. The tire will have a tread surface and a center space,
wherein the vertical support member will impale the tread surface of the
tire at two opposed points substantially along a diameter of the tire and
substantially at a midpoint of a width of the tread surface. A lower
horizontal support member will be connected to the vertical support
member at a point on the vertical support member located below the tire
with the longitudinal length of the vertical support member being
substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal length of the lower
horizontal support member, the upper horizontal support member and the
lower horizontal support member being substantially parallel to each
other and spaced sufficiently apart to accommodate a tire therebetween.
An inner tire baffle will be positioned in the center space of each tire
and connected to the vertical support member. A plurality of baffles will
be connected to the upper horizontal support member and the lower
horizontal support member, wherein the baffles are positioned within the
open spaces between the tread surface of each tire and the upper
horizontal support member and the lower horizontal support member. A
stabilizer plate will be attached to the lower end of the vertical
support member.
