- each rolling roller 104 abuts against the upper edge 120 of a stop 108 and is guided to an insertion passage 128.
- the locking member 90 and the engagement member 92 then occupy the first axial flow configuration in the first direction of the flexible line 18 through the curvature limiter 42.
- each protrusion 96 descends into the passageway 128, then into the secondary groove 134A located opposite this passage, rolling downward along an inclined surface 136.
- the roller 104 then rolls on the convex lower edge 122 of the upper stop 108.
- the rolling of the roller 104 causes the rotational drive of the locking member 90 about the axis XX 'relative to the body of the engagement 92 to the axial immobilization configuration shown in Figure 4 (e).
- each projection 96 is placed in a main groove 124 abuts against an upper limit stop 108. This immobilizes axially in the first direction the flexible line 18 in the limiter of curvature 42, especially when an upward pulling force is exerted on the line 18.
- the axial immobilization means 46 are thus activated.
- the line 18 is then immersed in the body of water 14.

- the line 18 and the curvature limiter 42 are placed under the end flange 52 of the hollow rigid tube 40 to the distance from the tube 40.
- the winch 24 is then activated to raise the cable 28 towards the upper end 56 of the hollow rigid tube 40.

- the curvature limiter 42 is partially introduced into the rigid tube 40.
- the flexible upper assembly 64 is introduced into the end collar 52, until the intermediate flange 68 is applied against the lower flange 58 of the collar.
- the collar 78 is then placed around the flanges 58, 68 to immobilize the curvature limiter 42 axially with respect to the hollow tube 40.
- the vertebrae 7OA, 7OB being interconnected by flexible links, they adopt a slight curvature corresponding to the slightly curved shape of the lower end of the tube 40.
- the immobilizing means 46 are then released to allow the rise of the line 18 through the curvature limiter 42 and the tube 40.
- the winch 24 is controlled to move the connecting head 33 in the second direction downwards.
- each projection 96 then descends into the right groove 134B adjacent to the left groove 134A, being guided by the rolling of the roller 104 on the inclined surface 136 defining the groove 134B .
- FIG. 4 (a).
- the locking member 90 rotates about the axis X-X 'always in the same direction between the first circulation configuration, the axial immobilization configuration, and the second circulation configuration.
- the locking member 90 then moves away from the engagement member 92, causing the displacement of each projection 96 outside the right groove 134B and then along the right edge 126B of the upper stop 108 in the extraction passage 128 ( Figures 4 (h) and 4 (i)).
- the locking member 90 then occupies an unobstructed axial position, located above the engagement member 92, wherein the engagement member 92 has been withdrawn from the housing 100.
- the line 18 is then raised through the central lumen 76 of the limiter 42 and through the flow passage of the tube 40, to the manifold 26, the curvature limiter 42 remaining stationary relative to the tube 40.
- the line 18 is then connected to the collector 26.
- the releasable immobilizing means 46 formed by a rotary latch are therefore simply activated, to allow, by means of a single winch, a joint displacement of the curvature limiter 42 and the line 18 to the hollow rigid tube 40 Then, once the limiter 42 is fixed on the hollow rigid tube 40, the immobilization means are released reversibly, by a simple movement of the line 18, to allow the line 18 to go up through the curvature limiter. 42 and through the tube 40.
- the collar 78 of the fastening means 44 is then removed, to detach the curvature limiter 42 from the flange 52 and to jointly lower the line 18 and the curvature limiter 42 away from the hollow tube 40.
