Abstract

A float assembly means that includes platform consisting of a plurality of floats adjoined to float on the surface of a body of water; a bottom base below the water surface consisting of a plurality of floats adjoined that are submerged in the water; and a surrounding wall disposed between the platform and the bottom base consisting of a plurality of floats stacked together that are submerged in the water. The surrounding wall is formed of a plurality of wall surfaces, each wall surface collectively closing off a sealed area. The sealed area, at its lower extent, is closured by the bottom base and an opening is formed over the recess in its upper extent. The resulting structure is capable of, on a water surface, covering a specific body of water to form a safe swimming and water recreation area.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A float assembly means that includes: a platform consisting of a plurality of floats adjoined to float on the surface of a body of water; a bottom base below the water surface consisting of a plurality of floats adjoined that are submerged in the water; a surrounding wall disposed between said platform and bottom base consisting of a plurality of floats stacked together that are submerged in the water, said floats, after stacking, form a multiple faceted, suitably angled, and vertical wall surface, each wall surface collectively closing off a sealed area; the sealed area at its lower extent is closured by said bottom base and an opening is formed over the recess in its upper extent; said structure capable of, on a water surface, covering a specific body of water to form a safe swimming and water recreation area. 
   
   
       2 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said platform is disposed around the exterior sides of said sealed area opening and includes provisions for said wall surface upward and outward extension. 
   
   
       3 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said platform, each said wall surface collectively enclosing said sealed area, and the lower extent said bottom base have disposed over them a step pad. 
   
   
       4 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said step pad has recessively disposed a sunken hole; and the step pad bottom surface has recessively disposed a sunken hole; and between the former said sunken hole and the latter said sunken hole is formed a through-hole. 
   
   
       5 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said step pad has on its top surface a plurality of incised patterns, thereby forming an anti-slip surface. 
   
   
       6 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said step pad and said float are respectively conjoined by fastening components. 
   
   
       7 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said fastening components include screws and nuts. 
   
   
       8 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said floats have disposed on them a port that constitutes a submergibility augmenting structure. 
   
   
       9 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said port is disposed in said wall surface of a certain quantity of said floats. 
   
   
       10 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said platform, said bottom base, or said surrounding wall is additionally disposed a buoyancy augmenting device. 
   
   
       11 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein said buoyancy augmenting device consists of a soft material construction hollow tubular entity, said tubular entity attached by mounting brackets. 
   
   
       12 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein said tubular entity is disposed in groups of two at said bottom base lower extent or along two sides of said surrounding wall. 
   
   
       13 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said tubular entity can also be formed around the surrounding wall or circumferentially disposed at the bottom base lower extent. 
   
   
       14 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said float has a cavitary body, the interior of which is hollow; said cavitary body, at its upper extent, has a first conjoinment structure, and at the cavitary body lower extent and in vertical alignment with said first conjoinment structure is a second conjoinment structure. 
   
   
       15 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein said first conjoinment structure is a raised seat and said second conjoinment structure is a recessed seat. 
   
   
       16 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein said raised seat and said recessed seat are each disposed such that two form one group. 
   
   
       17 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein said raised seat and said recessed seat are disposed in two groups. 
   
   
       18 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said float has a cavitary body, the interior of which is hollow; said cavitary body has disposed through its center a tubular entity, each said tubular entity having internally formed through it a passage. 
   
   
       19 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein said passage has one end contiguous to said raised seat at the upper extent of said cavitary body that constitutes said first conjoinment structure, with its opposite end contiguous to said recessed seat at the lower extent of said cavitary body that constitutes said second conjoinment structure. 
   
   
       20 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said float, along the periphery of its lateral sides, has disposed a plurality of top to bottom juxtaposed, shallow grooves. 
   
   
       21 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said float has at each of its two sides a recessively disposed a holding place, which enables the entry of two hands to facilitate moving. 
   
   
       22 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said float has guide slots disposed on it. 
   
   
       23 . A float assembly means as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein on said bottom base, said guide slot of each said float accommodates the installation of a net entity.
