Movable floating moorage

摘要

A movable floating moorage including a set of n parallel floating booms, each comprising a main pontoon and secondary pontoons extending in a transverse direction. Some of the secondary pontoons are in register with one another in two adjacent booms and are adapted to bear on one another in the transverse direction. The moorage includes two series of n+1 lines actuated by winches and including, for each boom, two lines extending from this boom in two opposite ways in the transverse direction and connected respectively, either to an adjacent floating boom, or to a fixed anchorage. The booms are connected together and to any fixed support solely by these two series of lines.

主权项

1. A movable floating moorage including at least a set of n parallel floating booms, n being an integer larger than 1 and each floating boom comprising a main floating pontoon extending along a first horizontal direction which is common to all main pontoons of the set of floating booms;
said movable floating moorage further including an actuating system including at least one flexible line which extends in a second direction substantially perpendicular to said first direction and adapted to selectively move each floating boom in both ways in said second direction; wherein the floating booms are connected together and to any fixed support by lines in a way enabling free movements in all directions perpendicular to the second direction, and wherein said floating booms comprise spacing members which are adapted to form an abutment in the second direction for said floating booms, for maintaining the respective main pontoons of said floating booms at a predetermined minimum distance from one another and from adjacent fixed structures.
