Abstract (en)

A mobile barrier (1) for temporary closing of channels and port entrances essentially formed by a base (2) extending on the seafloor of the port entrance, and by a series of mobile floodgates (3) of a substantially rectangular shape, which are hinged edgewise on the base (2) adjacent to one another so to be able to swing around a substantially horizontal axis of rotation (A); each mobile floodgate (3) being connected to the base (2) by means of a pair of disconnectable hinges (4), which are made up of a fixed portion (4a) stably anchored to the base (2), and of a mobile portion (4b) which is fixed on the flank of the mobile floodgate (3) and incorporates the joint for articulation of the hinge about the axis of rotation (A); the fixed portion (4a) of the disconnectable hinge (4) being formed by an engagement platform (8) designed to be positioned bearing upon the surface of the base (2) for hermetic closing of a well (7) present in the base (2) itself, and by a plurality of anchoring tie rods (10) which connect the base (2) with plane appendages (12) projecting in cantilever fashion from the sides of the engagement platform (8).
