Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014016313A1] The invention relates to an assembly comprising a first floating unit (10) and at least one second floating unit (11) intended for assembly to form a floating structure. According to the invention, the first floating unit (10) comprises at least one assembly connecting said first floating unit to the second floating unit (11), said connector assembly comprising a projectile (15) connected to a free end of a mooring line (16) and at least one male and/or female coupling element (12) placed at one of the ends thereof. The second floating unit (11) further comprises at least one means for accommodating-holding (19) the projectile (15) of the first floating unit (10), this accommodating-holding means (19) comprising a housing (22), the shape of said projectile (15) ensuring that it is positioned in said housing (22) in a non-destructive manner and a male and/or female coupling element in addition to the male and/or female coupling element (12) of the first floating unit (10), said at least one additional male and/or female coupling element being distinct from said projectile (15) in such a way as to block, when said floating units are coupled, degrees of freedom of movement between said floating units coupled in this way.
