Apparatus and method for adjusting the elevation and position of a floating body with respect to water level variance

Abstract

An apparatus and method for adjusting the elevation and position of a floating body with respect to water level variance, wherein the present invention is particularly suitable for, although not strictly limited to, enabling the unattended, self-actuating, multi-directional adjustment of a water-borne floating dock relative to increases and/or decreases in shoreline water level.

1 . An apparatus for adjusting the elevation and position of a floating body with respect to water level variance, said apparatus comprising: 
 at least one pivotal arm extending from at least one anchored base to the floating body,    wherein variance in the water level results in pivotal actuation of said at least one pivotal arm.    
   
   
       2 . A method for effectuating the unattended, self-actuating, multi-directional adjustment of a water-borne floating body relative to increases and/or decreases in water level and shoreline position, comprising the steps of: 
 a. removably securing at least one pivotal arm to the floating body, said at least one pivotal arm secured to at least one anchored base; and    b. permitting the unattended pivotal actuation of said at least one pivotal arm in response to variance in the water level.
