Benefits of technology

[0005]The objective of the invention herein is to provide an improved float assembly means which 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

Problems solved by technology

Said float patents generally disclose an identical type of hollow cavity float structure, but the float-to-float connective means consists of a tab disposed at the four corners of each float, with a mounting hole in each tab, such that when the tabs of two floats are stacked one above the other, their mounting holes aligned, a fastening rod is inserted through the two stacked mounting holes to thereby enable the coupling of the two floats; while such float structures are admittedly practical, the hollow cavities are excessively large, thereby providing a gross buoyancy of a greater degree even though the tabs at the corners are relatively thin and, as a result, as the float is subjected to center-of-pressure stress to the extent that the tabs are driven apart due the moment of force exerted, the connective stability of the floats is less than optimal; furthermore, such floats are more suited for horizontal connection and although they may be in an upper and lower connective arrangement, this is achieved by the insertion of a cord from top to bottom through the float tabs, however, since the cord is typically of a small diameter and the tab mounting holes are larger (since they originally provide for the insertion of fastening rods), following upper and lower routing and given the in-water forces of floatation, shifting instability is even higher; furthermore, said conventional floats are only capable of being assembled into two-dimensional water surface platforms and since it is not possible to solve, when numerous floats are assembled together, the enormous gross buoyancy and the problem of how to achieve submersion, therefore, on-water three-dimensional platforms cannot be utilized.

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.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1) Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a float assembly means capable of, on a water surface, covering a specific body of water to form a safe swimming and water recreation area, its structure also capable of adjustment in the water for buoyancy and appropriate positioning on the water.[0003]2) Description of the Related Art[0004]Many float patents are presented under the Taiwan Patent Bulletin numbers 254801, 259076, 259077, 260135, 287513, 315829, 329080, 370072, 370958, and 0358452. Said float patents generally disclose an identical type of hollow cavity float structure, but the float-to-float connective means consists of a tab disposed at the four corners of each float, with a mounting hole in each tab, such that when the tabs of two floats are stacked one above the other, their mounting holes aligned, a fastening rod is inserted through the two stacked mounting holes to thereby enable the coupling of the two floats; while such f...
