Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of floating modular blocks which can be used in particular for the production of floating pontoons.
  • the invention relates to such blocks, more particularly of parallelepiped shape and consisting of a hollow body whose walls are made of molded synthetic material, in particular by blowing.
  • the invention is not limited to this structure and relates to all modular blocks of a density allowing their flotation and intended to constitute, in particular by their assembly, floating structures.
  • the invention undoubtedly retains the general principle of a concave underside but by preventing any presence of air in the concavity by an appropriate conformation and sizing and with a view to essentially obtaining a block stability less to resist the movements of sinking, as in the cited earlier document, only to limit the parasitic movements of angular oscillation of the block maintained in a position always close to the horizontal.
  • the invention relates to a floating modular element consisting of a parallelepipedal block in particular of synthetic material of the type whose lower face intended to be fully submerged has a concave curved configuration, the concavity being oriented towards the liquid medium, and characterized in that said concave face is in the form of a spherical cap whose central arrow is of dimension less than 20% and preferably less than 10% of the shortest side of said face.
  • said modular block is of square horizontal section and the circular edge of the lower concavity substantially meets the middle of each side of said lower face, the edges of said face thus being substantially tangent to said spherical cap and said lower face being extended. in each corner by a flat area.
  • the upper face of said block face facing the zenith in the immersion position, has a convex configuration parallel to the concavity of the lower face, the upper face thus complementary to the lower face allowing the stackability of the blocks.
  • the invention makes it possible to obtain blocks having good individual stability in the submerged position; but it is also essential in the implementation of floating structures using floating blocks of the specified type to ensure the stability of all of the assembled blocks and for this purpose the invention also relates to a locking device resistant to the stresses resulting from parasitic and erratic movements likely to affect the assembled blocks under the effect of the elements.
  • the cylindrical key has at its base four pins distributed on the cylindrical periphery and spaced apart by 90 °, these pins being able to come to be positioned under the lower assembly ear, and the superimposed ears comprise on the periphery of their central recess four notches spaced at 90 ° and able to allow the sliding of the four preceding pins successively in each of the ears, the subsequent rotation of substantially 45 ° of the key ensuring the positioning of said pins under the notched part of the 'lower ear, the lugs then being blocked ensuring security and blocking of the locking key in its locking position.
  • the cylindrical part of the locking key comprises, above said lugs, profiled ribs, spaced apart by 90 ° and offset by 45 ° relative to the positioning of said lugs, these grooves cooperating with hollow bends arranged on the inner periphery of the housings in the center of the ears, receptors of said key, these recesses being inserted between the aforementioned notches provided for the insertion of the locking pins.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a block according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a plan view of half of the previous block.
  • FIG. 2a represents an enlarged view of the ear represented in FIG. 2.
  • Figure 3 shows a vertical sectional view of the locking key.
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 represent views in horizontal section of the key of FIG. 3, respectively along the lines IV-IV, V-V and VI-VI of said FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 7 represents a view of blocks assembled in situation.
  • FIG. 1 and Figure 2 there is shown a modular floating block and intended, by assembling modular blocks together, to achieve a floating surface allowing the passage of people or devices.
  • the domed upper face 1 follows a convex profile oriented towards the zenith, to which the concave profile 2a of the lower face 2 corresponds substantially, this profile being shown in dotted lines since it corresponds to the inner part of the lower face;
  • the solid line 3 (FIG. 2) represents the lateral face 3 ′, to which the lower face is connected by substantially a quarter of a cylinder 4; in each angle between the dotted lines 2b (periphery of the spherical cap) and the lines dotted lines 2c (edges of the lower face) where the flat area is 5.
  • the concavity arranged on the immersed face provides a suction cup effect which improves stability.
  • any modification in the horizontal position of the block results in a greater immersion on one side of said immersed face creating an Archimedes thrust which tends to restore and rebalance the horizontal position of the cube.
  • the curved upper face ensures rapid evacuation of the water likely to be deposited (waves, rain, spray, etc.) on said face, and by ensuring a concave profile of the lower face corresponding to the convex profile of the face. superior, we obtain perfect stackability of the elements and their stability in stacked position, for storage or transport.
  • the floating block comprises at each vertical edge an assembly ear, the four ears, coming from the body of the block 11 and designated by the reference 13, are stepped in height so as to allow the superposition of four ears coming from four blocks adjacent, this in a manner known per se.
  • the lugs 13 comprise a central housing 14, the housings coming in superimposition in a collinear manner allow the engagement of the locking key 17 shown in FIG. 3.
  • this housing 14 On the inner periphery of this housing 14 we see four notches 15 opposite in pairs and consequently arranged in a cross on the periphery of the central recess, the notches being spaced 90 ° apart; between two notches is positioned and provided a recess or recess 16; so that the recesses 16 are also opposite in pairs, being arranged in a cross and offset by 45 ° relative to the positioning of the notches.
  • the locking key 17 shown in Figure 3 has a cylindrical lower portion 17a on the base of which are arranged four pins 18 ( Figure 4) adapted to engage successively in the notches 15 disposed on the periphery of the previous ears.
  • the locking under the last ear 13a positions the blocking about halfway up the block, where the deflections are at a minimum, whether the interface between two blocks opens up or down; moreover, the lug to disengage will have to cross the four superimposed ears, which makes disengagement improbable if not impossible.
  • the cylindrical body 17 has vertical profiled grooves 19 (FIG. 5) which are offset by 45 ° relative to the positioning of the pins; these vertical grooves can also penetrate into the housings in the center of the ears by forcing through the recesses 16 provided on the periphery of the housings 14 between two notches 15.
  • the profiled grooves 19 are housed in a notch 15 thus ensuring a locking effect preventing the key from turning on itself and ejecting itself .
  • a generally cylindrical part of larger radius also has larger grooves 10 which engage in the receiving housings 20 provided on the upper part of the edge of the blocks assembled together.
  • the recesses 16 have a depth towards the outside much less than the depth of the notches 15, just as the grooves 19 have a thickness much less than that of the lugs 18.
