Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pontoon for bridges and ferries, consisting of four collapsible and collapsible floating bodies, wherein a track panel is embedded in the outer floating bodies, which has couplings on at least one transverse side for articulation on the outer edges of the inner floating bodies.
  • These track panels can be removed from the outer floating bodies by means of a mountable crane and articulated on the transverse edges of the inner floating bodies by means of simple bolt couplings in order to create a connection to a bank section.
  • Their length is about a third of the total length of the pontoons and has only an auxiliary function, for example to be able to climb a pontoon from a steep bank after it has been unfolded on the water. In most cases, however, it is not possible to move the pontoons to the bank because of their draft, so that the track boards cannot be used. Special ramp sections are therefore always used to connect to the bank.
  • amphibious bridges are known, which are formed from a multiplicity of amphibious vehicles swimming at a distance from one another and bridge sections arranged in between (FR-A-1 343538). These amphibious vehicles swim with their longitudinal axes parallel and at a distance from each other and have fold-out additional floating bodies on both sides that have to be spanned by the bridge sections.
  • Such floating bridges are only suitable for short-term use because they bind a lot of material due to the large number of amphibious vehicles required, because a large number of amphibious vehicles are required to bridge a water body.
  • the length of the bridge sections connecting them could only be limited so that they were still manageable. Pontoon floating bridges are therefore still used for floating bridges that are to bridge a body of water for a longer period of time.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of finding a solution for the ramps of floating bridges or ferries which allows such bridges and ferries to be assembled using only one type of pontoon and yet can be used for most types of bank.
  • the track panels are designed as ramp parts which extend over almost the entire length of the outer floating bodies and in that the width of the ramp parts is designed and the couplings are arranged such that at least two ramp parts hinged next to one another on the inner floating bodies form a closed ramp form with the width of at least one of the inner floats.
  • such pontoons can be used to assemble ramps, preferably by removing four ramp parts in each case, such as were previously only possible using special ramp sections.
  • the ramps form a closed lane and can bridge about the same space as a ramp section and are therefore versatile.
  • the individual ramp parts can adapt better to uneven banks than a rigid ramp section.
  • a major advantage is the cost-effectiveness, because two or more such ramp parts are considerably cheaper than a separate ramp section with its complex folding mechanism.
  • only one type of pontoon now needs to be built, which is cheaper for series production and maintenance.
  • at least two transport vehicles are saved for the ramp sections with each floating bridge, since the ramp parts are transported in the pontoons in a space-saving manner.
  • the ramp parts are also used as connections between two adjacent pontoons. This is useful if the floating bridge should only be used by a lower load class. Correspondingly, pontoons are saved and therefore do not have to be transported. In addition, a better adaptation to the distance to be bridged is possible because the ramp parts are somewhat shorter than the pontoons. Overall, the pontoon according to the invention is thus distinguished by its versatility and particular cost-effectiveness.
  • the ramp part (s) have couplings on both transverse sides for connecting two pontoons with ramp parts, as described above. More appropriate the ramp parts are also designed as floating bodies.
  • the ramp part (s) can be coupled to adjacent ramp parts.
  • the ramp consisting of the ramp parts can be lifted as a whole so that the pontoon can also be used as a ferry.
  • the lifting can be done by a collapsible crane that can be used in recesses in the corners of the outer floats.
  • the inner floats 3, 4 form the lane for the vehicles to be transferred.
  • a total of four ramp parts 7, 8, 9, 10 are articulated with their short sides on the right transverse edge of the right pontoon 1 in this view.
  • the articulated connection takes place in the usual way by eyes 12 which engage in recesses 11 on the pontoon 1 and which are locked with suitable bolts.
  • the ramp parts 7, 8, 9, 10 are approximately as long as the pontoons 1, 2 and are designed so that they can withstand the load of vehicles on the one hand, but on the other hand are so flat that vehicles can drive directly from the ramp onto the bank embankment . They have retractable lifting eyes (31) into which the hook of a crane can engage.
  • the ramp parts 7, 8, 9, 10 When not in use, in particular for transport, the ramp parts 7, 8, 9, 10 are inserted into suitable recesses 13, 14 which are formed in the outer floating bodies 5, 6 of the pontoons 1, 2.
  • the depressions 13, 14 are designed such that the ramp parts 7, 8, 9, 10 are flush with the surfaces of the outer floating bodies 5, 6 after insertion, so that their accessibility is ensured.
  • receiving bores 15 are provided, into which a crane can be used to lift the ramp parts 7, 8, 9, 10 out of the depressions 13, 14.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the embankment 16 of a body of water 17.
  • the pontoons 1, 2 with the attached ramp parts 7 float on the body of water 17, the free ends of which rest on the embankment 16.
  • a collapsible crane 18 is inserted into one of the receiving bores 15.
  • the ramp parts 7, 8, 9, 10 can be raised by means of a crane hook 19 and, after the lock on the pontoon 1 has been released, can be placed again in one of the depressions 13, 14.
  • the pontoons 1, 2 can then be used as a ferry.
  • Figure 3 also shows a cross section through a body of water 20.
  • the two embankments 21, 22 are connected by a floating bridge 23, which is alternately composed of a pontoon 24, 25, 26 and several ramp parts 27, 28, 29, 30 each. It can be seen from this that the ramp parts 27, 28, 29, 30 can be used not only for connection to the embankments 21, 22, but also for coupling two pontoons 24, 25, 26. In this way, a floating bridge can be assembled from a few pontoons if it is only used by lower load classes.
  • Such a construction of the floating bridge 23 also allows a better adaptation to the width of the water 20 to be bridged, since the ramp parts 27, 28, 29, 30 are somewhat shorter than the pontoons 24, 25, 26. It is not necessary for pontoons and ramp parts to alternate with one another, but several pontoons can also be arranged between the ramp parts.
  • connection between two pontoons or between a pontoon and the bank is normally made by four adjacent ramp parts, so that a closed roadway is created; however, depending on the purpose of the bridge, fewer, but at least two ramp parts can be used.
