Liquid barrier assembly and connector therefor

摘要

The present invention relates to a liquid barrier assembly ( 1 ) comprising at least two barriers ( 2,3 ) each comprising a substantially rigid container and a front wall ( 5 ) against which liquid is intended to be incident. Adjacent barriers ( 2,3 ) are linked by a connector ( 12 ) which comprises a first relatively rigid portion ( 13 ) and a second relatively deformable portion ( 15 ). The portions ( 13, 15 ) are received in respective recesses defined in neighbouring side walls of adjacent barriers ( 2,3 ). The second portion ( 15 ) is deformed upon juxtaposition of adjacent barriers ( 2,3 ) in a predetermined manner so as to form an effective water-tight seal between the barriers ( 2,3 ).
