Float structure having supplementary floating bodies

Abstract

A float structure having supplementary floating bodies that is comprised of a cavitary body, the hollow internal aspect of which enables buoyance and floatation in water, and a plurality of floating bodies disposed within the cavitary body. Given such a structure, when a float, containing the plurality of floating bodies in its cavitary body, incurs collision and wear damage that results in leakage and a loss of the floating body capability it should possess, the supplementation provided by the invention herein constitutes another source of buoyance that supports the entire float in retaining a major portion of its buoyance, thereby preventing the float from sinking and maintaining a set buoyant force.

1 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies that is comprised of a cavitary body, the hollow internal aspect of which enables buoyance and floatation in water, and a plurality of floating bodies disposed within said cavitary body; given said arrangement, when a float, containing said plurality of floating bodies in said cavitary body, incurs impact and wear damage that results in leakage and a loss of the floating body capability it should possess, the supplementation provided constitutes another source of buoyance that supports the entire said float in retaining a major portion of its buoyance, thereby preventing said float from sinking and maintaining a set buoyant force. 
   
   
       2 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said floating bodies are fabricated of a plastic material. 
   
   
       3 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said floating bodies consist of hollow spheres. 
   
   
       4 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said cavitary body has disposed on it a first conjoinment structure and a second conjoinment structure; when two said floats of the invention herein are stacked into an assemblage, said first conjoinment structure of the rear said float is inserted into said second conjoinment structure of the front said float to thereby enable the connective assembly of said two floats. 
   
   
       5 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said first conjoinment structure is a raised seat. 
   
   
       6 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said second conjoinment structure is a recessed seat. 
   
   
       7 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said cavitary body has a tubular entity disposed through it and a passage is formed in said tubular entity. 
   
   
       8 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said recessed seat also has an indentation. 
   
   
       9 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said first conjoinment structure is said raised seat and said second conjoinment structure is said recessed seat, and one end of said passage is in continuity with said raised seat and the other end is in continuity with said recessed seat. 
   
   
       10 . A float structure having supplementary floating bodies as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said each floating body is a discrete physical entity.
