<p>1. Floating construction as for example a pontoon, a vessel, a pontoon-bridge or a similar floating construction, assembled from several box-like floating units (1a, 1b, 1c, 2, 3) which are rigidly but removably connected to each other by coupling means (4) comprising a connecting rod-construction, the connecting rod (8) of which extends through bores or slots (6, 6a) in adjacent connecting blocks (5a, 5b), which blocks are fastened at corresponding positions to the planes to be connected with each other of the floating units (1a, 1b, 1c, 2 and 3). An intermediate element (12) is present between these connecting blocks and around the connecting rod (8), the side planes (17, 18) of which under loaded condition are adjustable or deformable in such a way, that these side planes can adjust themselves to the position of the contact planes (19, 20) of the connecting blocks coacting with the intermediate element. <IMAGE></p> |
