Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A transportable floating body for sport boats or the like, which comprises a floating member stabilized and formed of pipe means in fonn of an extended at least single T.
  • the floating member includes rigidly secured profile frames rigidly secured spaced apart from each other, and triangular arms are applicable on both sides of the profile frames.
  • the profile frames serve the reception of running boards.
  • the present invention relates to a transportable floating board for sports boats or the like.
  • Known floating boards which serve for landing as well as for a berth for a plurality of boats, are composed of units, each of which comprises a rectangular plank-or profile-ironframe, which has on its top a plank bottom and below floating bodies of barrels, tons or also blocks of synthetic material, mostly arranged in pairs. Since no closed waterline is present here, already at a low wave formation or wind an appreciable unrest is transmitted to the board, since depending upon the direction of the movement, the individual units and the individual floating bodies are stressed differently and at different times, so that already for this reason a completely rigid coupling of the units is not possible, since otherwise the coupling means would be stressed to a nonpermissible degree. Thus a very slightly stable arrangement remains, which cannot be stepped on in case of great wave and wind movement.
  • the boardand head--part of the T-shaped floating body comprises tubular members floatable and equal relative to each other, which tubular members are releasably connectable together at any desired length.
  • the profile frames comprise adjacent pipe members arranged in pairs, which pipe members with the intermediate arrangement of sealing sheets connect square angular iron frames, while for the connection of the weband headpart of the T-shaped floating body serves a cube formed of an angular iron frame, the measurements of which cube correspond with the profile frames closing the adjacent pipe members and which are screwed together with the latter.
  • the triangular arms are suitably screwed together with the angular iron frames forming the profile frames of adjacent pipe members.
  • the running boards can be set also on one or a plurality of pipe members of the floating bodies corresponding with particular rectangular frames, which are secured to the profile frames.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic top plan view of a floating board formed of T-shaped joined pipe-shaped floats, with an attached cross stay;
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic top view ofa boat harbor formed of a plurality of floating boards shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are a side elevation and a top plan view, respectively, of a profile frame with pivotally connected triangular arms secured on a tubular float of the T-stay;
  • FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the arrangement according to the present invention indicating the possibility of connection of the stay and the head part of the T-shaped floating body by means of an angular iron cube;
  • FIG. 6 is a section along the lines 66 of FIG. 5.
  • the floating board 1 designed in accordance with the present invention has a rigid closed and T-shaped floating body 2, having a smooth closed waterline, which floating body 2 is composed for the web part 3, as well as for the head part 4 of equal floatable pipe members 5 in lengths fitted to the intended use, for instance, by releasable flange connections 6. This applies also for the transfonnation connection 32 between the weband the headpart, if not a separate structure part is applied thereto.
  • the length of the head part 4 must be large enough in order to sup press the usually occuring rolling motions.
  • crossmembers. 8 for the formation of boxes 9 and as access to the individual boats 10 serve triangular arms 16 corresponding to those shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the short arm 17 of which corresponds with the edge length of the profile frame 31. These triangular arms 16 are rigidly screwed together with the profile frame and carry by means of crossmember likewise running board 7.
  • the rubber buffer 20 is provided for the protection of incoming boats.
  • connecting member forming the plank 6 and the profile frames 31, respectively, and closing the pipe members 5.
  • closing-and connecting-members serve at the end of adjacent pipe members 5 welded on angular iron frames 25 and 25', which are rigidly connected by means of screws with an intermediate sealing plate 27.
  • These angular iron frames arranged in pairs, which form the profile frame 31, serve simultaneously for the securing of the triangular arm 16.
  • the transfer connection 32 between the stay part and head-part 3 and 4
  • the floatin g body 2 can. be produced, by forming a cube 29 from angular iron frames 28, the measurements of which correspond with the angular iron frames 25 and 25, the sidewalls of the cube 29 coinciding with adjacent end closures of the same angular iron frames 25 and sealing plates 27, so that welding connections are omitted and merely easily releasable screw connections 30 are required.
  • the two lower edges of the two angular iron frames 25 can be connected at both ends of the same pipe member 5 by a longitudinally extending angle-or V-rails 11.
  • the floating stay can be taken apart fast and easily in easily transportable parts, so that it can be transported in case of change of location by trucks or in case of ice danger can be made survive over the winter on land.
  • the head part 4 of the T-profile is shifted to the side remote from the land or quay, respectively.
  • a transportable floating body for sport boats or the like comprising a floating member stabilized and formed of a plurality of pipe means releasably connected continuously to one another and watertight closed for floating on water and in form of an extended at least single-T constituting a longitudinal continuous web pipe section and at least one transverse head pipe section,
  • said floating member including rigidly secured profileshaped frames rigidly secured to said pipe means and spaced apart each other, and
  • said two arms being connected to each other on each side of said frame forming with a side of said frame a rigid triangle unit with an upper of said two arms above the water level, and
  • one of said frames constitutes a cube formed of angular iron frames connecting said web pipe section and head pipe section of said floating member, and
  • said cube has measurements corresponding to said frame closing adjacent of said pipe means
  • said adjacent of said pipe means are screwed to said cube.
  • the floating body as set forth in claim 1, which includes a rectangular frame corresponding to at least one pipe means of said floating member,
  • said running boards are disposed on said rectangular frame
  • said rectangular frames are secured to said profile frames.
  • said upper arm connected at one end to an upper portion of said side of said frame and extending substantially horizontally above the level of the water
  • both of said two arms being operatively connected to each other
  • said running board is mounted on said upper arm.
