Definitions

  • This invention relates to a flood barrier incorporating a demountable support.
  • EP-2-090-698-A1 discloses a flood barrier according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the demountable support may include a lock for releasably locking the lid and the box.
  • the box may be provided with ties for securing the box in place, for example in the ground or in concrete.
  • the mounting means may include two such recesses.
  • the or each recess may open laterally of the lid.
  • the recesses may be provided in a member of substantially H-section.
  • a seal may be provided in the or each recess, for example positioned in the recess at a point remote from the lid.
  • the stay may include two strut portions which are pivotably connected to each other and one of which is pivotably connected to the lid, while the other is pivotably connected to the box, and means for retaining the two strut portions in a substantially linear configuration.
  • Locking means may be provided to releasably maintain the two strut portions in the substantially linear configuration.
  • the strut portion pivotably connected to the lid and/or the box may be connected to a reinforcing means which extends in the longitudinal direction of the lid and/or the box.
  • the barrier portion may be provided with one or more handles, for example along an upper edge thereof.
  • the flood barrier according to the present invention incorporates only a single removable part, that being the barrier portion, which results in reduced time for installing the flood barrier, reduced storage requirements, and reduced risk of losing the removable parts.
  • the demountable support shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a box 1 including a lid 3 which is hinged to a base 5 of the box at one end and which is lockable to the base 5 by means of a lock 7 provided at the other end of the box.
  • the top of the lid may be textured and/or coloured to blend with the surroundings of the box.
  • the box is set in the ground, for example in concrete, with the upper surface of the lid 3 substantially flush with the ground surface and is provided with ties 9, for example welded to the external surfaces of the base portion of the box, in order to secured to box in the ground.
  • the demountable supports are located at predetermined spacings, for example 1.2, 1.5 or 1.8 m, in order to receive a barrier portion of predetermined dimensions as will be explained in more detail hereinafter.
  • H-section portion 11 which provides a mounting means for receiving an edge region of a barrier portion on either side as will be explained in more detail hereinafter. It is not essential that the portion 11 should be specifically of an H-section, but a longitudinally extending recess should be provided for receiving an edge region of each barrier portion.
  • the lid 3 of the box is movable between a first position in which the lid effectively closes the box and a second position in which the lid is substantially upright.
  • the lid 3 In the upright position the lid 3 is supported by a foldable strut 13 which is contained within the box in the closed position of the lid.
  • the foldable strut 13 is in two portions 15, 17 which are hinged together at 16 with one portion 15 being hinged to the lid 3 in the region of the free end thereof and the other portion being hinged within the base 5 in the region thereof remote from the hinge.
  • the two strut portions 15, 17 are provided with restraining means 19 which prevents the strut portions moving to a configuration substantially beyond co-linear.
  • the strut portion 15 which is hinged to the lid 3 may be mounted by way of a pivot pin 21 passing through a reinforcing rib 23 on the H-section portion.
  • the strut portion 15 may be generally channel shaped with arms extending either side of the reinforcing rib.
  • the strut portion 17 which is hinged to the base may be mounted by way of a pivot pin 25 passing through a reinforcing rib 27 provided within the base 5 of the box.
  • the strut portion 17 may be generally channel shaped with arms extending either side of the reinforcing rib.
  • One of the strut portions 15, 17, for example the strut portion 15, may have larger dimensions than the other strut portion in order that one strut portion may fit over the other in the region where they are hinged together with the other strut portion extending within the said one strut portion in order that removable locking means 29 can be employed to maintain the lid 3 in its upright position and to prevent any tampering with the demountable support.
  • each recess in the H-section portion further from the lid is provided with a D-shaped seal 31, for example of compressible rubber material, against which a barrier portion can be urged in the event of a flood as will be explained in more detail.
  • That part of the H-section portion adjacent to the lid is provided with a plurality of, for example three, locking fastenings 33 for urging the barrier portion against the seal 31 which is positioned in the recess at a point remote from the lid.
  • the fastenings may be, for example, half-turn locking nuts which are accessed from the other side of the lid 3.
  • Figure 4 shows three demountable supports 35, each with its lid in the upright position, together with a barrier portion 37 located in the longitudinal recesses of the H-section portions.
  • the demountable supports are positioned a predetermined distance apart, such as 1.2, 1.5 or 1.8 m depending on the height of the barrier portion 37, the distance being less for greater height of the barrier portion.
  • Each barrier 37 is provided with one or more handles 39 for manoeuvring the barrier portions into and out of position.
  • a simple channel member can be provided together with a seal and locking fastenings.
  • the lids 3 of each of the boxes 1 can be unlocked and the lids can be raised and locked in place with the removable locking means 29 to provide a row of upright stanchions.
  • the strut 13 effectively transmits the force exerted by the flood water into the base of the box and therefore into the ground in which the box is secured.
  • a barrier portion 37 is lowered into position between each pair of stanchions using the handles 39 and secured in place with the locking fastenings 33.
  • a barrier portion between a demountable support and a fixed location is inserted in the same way.
  • the barrier portions at their lower edge may be inserted into a recess which is provided with a seal in the same manner as the H-section portion.
  • the locking fastenings 33 can be released and the barrier portions 37 can be removed and returned to storage.
  • the removable locking means 29 can be released and the strut 13 can be folded to lower the lid 3 onto the box 1 where it can be locked in place with lock 7 until needed once more, thereby enclosing the components of the demountable support within the box 1.
  • demountable supports when not in use to support the barrier portions 37 can be used for other purposes, such as to provide demountable barriers to restrict the passage of vehicles.
