<p>An assembly for supporting the floating roofs of tanks for storing liquids, particularly hydrocarbons, comprises a support leg (5), a guide (7) rigidly fastened to the floating roof which it is desired to support, and a locking pin (11). The lower end (16) of the guide (7) acts as a support for the floating roof when the assembly is in the operating mode. In this situation, the support leg (5) has no structural function and may be withdrawn, and the locking pin is installed at the top of the guide (7) coaxial with the vertical axis of the guide, so as to close the orifice via which the support leg passes. When it is necessary to place the roof in the maintenance mode, the support leg is again inserted in the orifice via which the guide (7) passes and the locking pin (11) passes through the orifices (13) of plates (12) which are rigidly fastened to the top of the guide (7), which allows the assembly to be locked. The orientation of the locking pin (11) enables an operator remotely to ascertain the operating status of the floating roof.</p> |
