PLATFORM Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B63B35/44 B63B3/08 

FIELD: floating platforms.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to floating platforms designed for special purposes, namely pontoons, floating docks, rafts and other floating structures, and consisting of modules, the hulls of which are made of plastic material. The platform contains buoyancy modules connected by fastening elements and stacked in a layer, each consisting of a hollow plastic body with lugs for fastening elements formed by side faces with vertical protrusions and corresponding vertical depressions, an upper edge and a bottom. The platform is made multi-layer, the layers are interconnected by the corresponding fastening elements, while the corresponding side faces of the buoyancy modules of at least the upper layer and the corresponding upper faces of the buoyancy modules of the next layer are grooves, the width of each of which is chosen equal to at least one width side edge of the buoyancy module, and the platform is equipped with at least one load frame, freely installed in the corresponding grooves flush with the upper edges of the buoyancy modules of the upper layer with the possibility of displacement within the gaps between it and the grooves and resting on the corresponding upper edges of the buoyancy modules of the subsequent layer.

EFFECT: ensuring the expansion of operational capabilities by increasing the buoyancy and carrying capacity of the platform with vertical loads due to its multilayer structure, as well as increasing the rigidity of the upper layer while reducing the wave effect on the power frame due to the free location of the latter in the grooves formed by the corresponding buoyancy modules.
