Abstract

This utility model presents two fundamental features: a) telescopic loading bridge; b) ballast tank mounted on motor crawler tracks. Feature a) enables the adjustment of the landing stage to any type of boats and/or coasters, and the appropriate adjustment of the landing stage's length to any littoral, high tide and to any exceptional conditions which might arise during the normal operating time. The retractility function enables the easy removal of the landing stage from its designated location; Feature b) enables to move the whole structure to safer locations when the original location is exposed to particularly strong surges which might endanger the stability and the normal functioning of the landing stage. Once the exceptional condition has ceased, the motor crawler tracks will enable the landing stage to return to its normal functioning. Said feature therefore reduces the eventual "inactivity" of the landing stage.

Description

"SUSPENDED L_~lYDL7VG STAGE"
The "S'GSPE1VDED LAISpING STAGE" is a nautical ancillary equipment, made of a removable metallic sirueture allowing an easy landing from small and raedi'um boats or coasters to those tourist littorals where fixed wharves or jectics cannot be installed ar simply do not exist.
The suspended landing stage csa be assembled sad totally disassembled on site lca~ing the in.~ta(latio~ spot as it was before assembling. This feature combined with a ballast filled of fine rnate~ial_ eventually found on site, makes possible a landing stone even if there arc sites ~ittt planning restrictions or prosorvation of laadscap~s. The whole stru~cNre can be placed temporary and this fact may skip most planning resztioriot~ fvr faced structures.
The suspended landing stage is realised using (stxucttual and drawn) matallic material wxrtutly available oa the na3tkct btu crttirely galvanized, is order to resist to the salinity action; the dimensions are the result of a struetu~al calculahvn based on the loading stages' static system.
The complete group of assembling puts enables the equiptncat assembly.in Io:.atioas uaderprcservator. ofnatural resources or State ownership, without,thc aced ofinstalling any pe.~manent structure whatsoever. The disassembly, which results to be as easy as the assembling proce.~, enables to easily reinstate the locations, rspeci,ally do=ing the winter time when the equipment is not in use, and also to upkeep the single camponrnts. The renewal of the gs~lvaaizi~g process would facilitate the mainteuattce of alb parts. This aodel presents also two fundamental fcatutzs:
a) Telescopic loading bsidge b) Ballast tack mounted on motor crawler tracks.

Feat~rre b) znables to move the whole structure to safer locations when the original 0 location is exposed to particularly strong surges which might endanger the stability and the normal functioning of the landing stage. Once the exceptions( conditioe has ceased, the "~".,-~ ;;;hy'f motor crawler felts v~rill enable the landing stage to return ~ its rotmal fuacdat::ng. 5a;d featare therefore reduces uhc cvetttttal ''inactivity" of the landing stage_ The eqttipnnent mainly comprises ofthe following elements:
35 1. Base tank, fotrtted by at Least three rtismatie p=xis assembled with bolts and complete with Lids. The front side of the elements or~and any other pert exposed to the wattr are plated i:r order to defend the base tank from the water's edge erosion.
The base tanks will be fillCd with sand or stoats, available on location, and easily reraovablc whoa necessary.
They function as a supporting L~mewori: against nay rotary stress whom the sttu~ture may 40 be subject to. Iettison doors of different shapes sad dimen~ons are positioned laterally whi_h permits the emFtying of the base ballzst iar~k.. The cxswler tracks will be fixed on roc outside aaa' consequently connected to an engine in order to create .an up and down movameat the structure boot-topping. Such a mechanism together with the retractilir~
unction of tht loading bridge will eaabla as easy as well as irr~nediatc movernrnt of the 45 structure in cast of exceptional surges during the oper3tirg rime.
2_ 4 pair of Shafts, fia~etioning as ,a s'sprorting framew~lc cf the tension wires ar~ci secured,.at their terse, with bolts, to the cen~a! part of the base tank.
Coupling horns for the tension wires v~rilI be posidcaed st the top of the sbars_ The different position of tae holes enables the use of tension wires having d-itierent lengths according to the loading bridg;.
50 overhang.
3_ Ir oadiag bridge, comprising of ind:y~dual components assembled ~d Ezcurrd will'' bolts. Its supporting fi~amewo~rlc is made of braczd Ioagatudirsal members, sized cad shaped accordingly, en the tap of which an sniff-slip checxcred plate~walkway level is thon fixed.
Two barristers are they llxed on the sides far bola safety and aesthetics purFosts. 'rht bridge 55 end towards the littoral era be fixed to the land with an accomnaodatiory lade~.er or ramp, whilst. the end to~~rards the sea comprises of a platform hinged to the loading bridge accordin,p to the sweral heights reqaired for the unloading from different boats. The loading bridge is t(~ien gositioned, over th- base tasks, with adjusting v~crhaags in ordc: to uu~e th~c most of ttie maac~,unn draft of each boat, even whets the water death results to be medium or (,Q very low. The loading bridge will be pwided with a mechanical systetzl caablittg the retractility function. This will therefore petZrtit the: adjustment of the landing bridge on ., location accordi.tLg to the requirements of the specific cast. .
Tension writes, which are rcquir:d to steadily ~.x the loading bridge to the sugpotting shafts and to the base tanks. The tatsioa wires hate different lengths ec~ording to the 65 coupling hales and to the loading bridge overhang.
