Removable closure device.

摘要

A pile guide has a removable ring gate (26) which restrains a pile within braces (24) of the pile guide. When in the closed position, the ring gate (26) is secured to the guide by means of a pivotable arm (30). To release the pile and/or to convert the guide to an open pile guide, a cable secured to the arm (30) is pulled to pivot the arm (30) fracturing a weld (35) securing the arm (30) to the respective brace (24) and a weld (33) securing the pin (41) of the arm (30) to a fixed pin (41) of the guide, on which fixed pin the ring gate (26) is engaged. This thereby releases the ring gate (26) from the pile guide and releases restraint on the pile.
