Abstract

Art object (1) comprising two or more buoyant elements (3, 3 '), wherein at least one of the elements (3) is anchored at the position defined in the direction of flow and the other elements (3') either also anchored or connected to the one element (3 ) are connected.

Description

The invention relates to an art object on flowing waters.

The object of the invention is to provide an art object that receives a special agility by the movement of a flowing body of water.

The invention is based on the finding that this object can be achieved by floating on the water, but at least partially anchored elements.

The invention relates to an art object comprising two or more buoyant elements, wherein at least one of the elements is anchored to the flow direction fixed position and the other elements are either also anchored or connected to the one element.

The object of the invention is referred to herein as an "art object". Since one can argue about art excellently, one can designate the subject of the invention also as "object" or "floating object".

Preferably, a plurality of elements are provided, for example 5 or 10 or 20 or even more.

The shape of the elements can be chosen freely. For example, disk-shaped, spherical, hemispherical, rod-shaped, roof-tile-shaped, fish-shaped, plate-shaped, etc. come into consideration.

The elements must float on the water, which is achieved by being lighter than water. Preferably, the specific gravity is smaller than that of the water or it is waterproof hollow body.

Preferably, the elements are made of wood, plastic, metal or glass. Hollow body made of plastic, metal and glass are well suited, as well as polystyrene.

The elements may be colored, much colored or otherwise decorated, for example, mirrored or with reflective glass parts, Mirror parts or glass crystals be provided. As a result, special visual and aesthetic effects are achieved.

The elements can also be provided with a structure. For example, a rod, preferably an elastic rod, may be mounted on a hemispherical element, on which creative elements are mounted.

To ensure that the wand with the creative element faces up, it is preferable to make the lower part of the associated element heavier.

The actual aesthetic effect of the art object is achieved by the selection of the elements, their design and the arrangement of the elements.

The entirety of the elements is fixed or anchored in the flowing water, so that it is held in the flow direction of the water in a fixed position. Under fixed position is also subsummiert that the elements can move at right angles to the flow direction of the water, whereby their position in the flow direction is slightly shifted. Furthermore, the positioning depends on the water level. If the water level rises, the position of the element shifts towards the anchoring point and vice versa.

It is possible to anchor all elements. However, it is preferred to anchor only one or several elements and connect the remaining elements to the anchored element (s), or to connect several elements together. Preferably, the elements are anchored under water, in which they are connected to an anchor at the bottom of the water. The anchor may be anchored in the ground anchoring element, such as a bolt, or anchoring takes place on a large stone or concrete block.

Alternatively, the attachment can also take place on a bridge or on the shore or on a stretched from one to the other shore rope.

The connection is preferably made with ropes or chains, preferably of metal, e.g. stainless steel, or plastic.

In the event of flooding, there is a risk that the object of art will no longer float on the surface of the water but be drawn under water. To prevent this, it must be ensured that the connection between the anchor and the associated element is of such a length that the art object remains on the water surface even at high tide.

The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.

• Fig. 1 shows a flowing body of water 2, which is covered by a bridge 4. An art object 1 floats on the flowing water 2. The art object 1 can be observed by the bridge 4. By connections 7, the first elements 3 are anchored. The further elements 3 'are connected by intermediate connections 11 with these anchored elements 3.
• Fig. 2 shows a cross section through a flowing water. On the bottom 9 of the flowing body of water 2 is an anchor 8. The first element 3 is fixed by a connection 7 at the anchoring point 12. The further elements 3 'are connected by intermediate connections 11 to the first element 3. On the hemispherical elements 3 rods 5 are provided, the ornaments 6, shown here in the form of a flower show.
