Water barrier device

Abstract

Barrier for in particular water comprising inclined supports against which loading pallets are inclined, over which membranes are placed for the shaping of a sealed structure that is inclined towards the water mass that is to be enclosed. The supports are connected to each other by means of laterally arranged push and pulling forces taking lateral connections provided with flanges in their ends for the enclosing or gripping of a loading pallet. The lateral connections have in their ends protrusions protruding against their inclined support and gripping into holes in the upper loading pallet supporting beam. The lateral connections are telescopic and fixable in different positions, for instance by means of holes and through pins for the adaptation to different pallets and orientations of these respectively.

1 . Barrier for in particular water comprising inclined supports against which loading pallets are inclined, over which membranes are placed in order to form a sealed structure inclined outward from a mass of water that is to be enclosed, wherein the supports are connected with each other by lateral push and pulling forces taking lateral connections.  
     
     
         2 . Barrier according to  claim 1 , wherein the lateral connections are provided with flanges or the like in their ends to enclose or grip a loading pallet.  
     
     
         3 . Barrier according to  claim 1 , wherein the lateral connections in their ends have extensions extending towards the inclined support and grip into holes or other fasteners.  
     
     
         4 . Barrier according to  claim 3 , wherein the extensions are provided with locking devices, possibly in the shape of through holes, into which pins can be inserted to hold the extensions in the inclined supports.  
     
     
         5 . Barrier according to  claim 1 , wherein the lateral connections are telescopic and lockable in different positions, for instance by holes and through pins.  
     
     
         6 . Barrier according to  claim 1 , wherein the supports are provided with gripping holes in the lateral connections in different levels for adaptation to the location of the legs of different loading pallets and different orientations for these respectively.  
     
     
         7 . Barrier according to  claim 1 , wherein the loading pallet supporting surface of the support is provided with teeth or pointed projections for stable fixing of and against the resting loading pallet and loading pallets respectively.  
     
     
         8 . Barrier according to  claim 1 , wherein one or several loading pallets are exchanged for boards or panels, in particular allowing overlapping in bends of the barrier.  
     
     
         9 . Barrier according to  claim 8 , wherein boards have the same outer contour as the loading pallets.  
     
     
         10 . Lateral connection for joining two barriers as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising two telescopically displaceable tubes provided with fasteners adjustable to different relative positions and lengths, the outer ends of said fasteners being arranged to fasten to the inclined supports.  
     
     
         11 . Lateral connection according to  claim 7 , and including flanges, heels or the like protruding towards the side of the loading pallet for a gripping over respective loading pallet lower edge or board edge.  
     
     
         12 . Barrier for in particular water comprising inclined supports against which panels are inclined, over which membranes are placed in order to form a sealed structure inclined outward from a mass of water that is to be enclosed, the supports being connected with each other by lateral push and pulling forces taking lateral connections.  
     
     
         13 . Barrier according to  claim 12 , wherein the panels on the side facing the supports are provided with ridges or protrusions cooperating with the edges of the supports to stiffen the structure when subjected to water pressure.  
     
     
         14 . Barrier according to  claim 12 , wherein the panels taper away slightly from the middle to allow a slight angling of the panels on for instance uneven ground.  
     
     
         15 . Barrier according to  claim 12 , wherein the panels are fastened to the lateral connection fasteners.  
     
     
         16 . Barrier according to  claim 12 , wherein the lateral connections have protrusions that grip into holes in the supports allowing a slight angular play.  
     
     
         17 . Barrier according to  claim 16 , wherein the grips in the ends of the lateral connections that are inserted into the supports are hollow so that fasteners for the panels can be inserted therethrough and through corresponding holes in the panels.  
     
     
         18 . Barrier according to  claim 17 , wherein the means securing the lateral connections to the supports are provided with locking pins also locking the fasteners for the panels against withdrawal.  
     
     
         19 . Barrier according to  claim 1 , wherein in corners and bends of the barrier tapering panel strips are used that are reinforced by lengthwise extending tubes or bars fastened to the panel strips.  
     
     
         20 . Barrier according to  claim 19 . wherein the tapering strips are held to lateral connections between the supports by L-shaped brackets that can be fastened to the reinforcing bars and grip the lateral connections.  
     
     
         21 . Barrier according to  claim 19 , wherein the tapering strips are roof-like.  
     
     
         22 . Barrier according to  claim 12 , wherein the panels are made of aluminum.
