Submerged-floating type water house
The present invention relates to a submerged-floating type water house. The house comprises: a first lower side part and a second lower side part formed symmetrically with respect to each other; a first upper side part and a second upper side part formed symmetrically and extending from the first lower side part and the second lower side part; and a front part and a rear part formed in front of and in back of the first lower side part and second lower side part and the first upper side part and second upper side part, thereby forming a rhombic-shaped body and floating in water.
CONNECTION ASSEMBLY
A connection assembly having a nut and a first-snap-fit-engagement-arrangement. The connection assembly further has a first body with a first lug having a second-snap-fit-engagement-arrangement. The nut is coupled to the first lug with the nut, in a manner so as to engage the first-snap-fit-engagement-arrangement with the second-snap-fit-engagement-arrangement such that the nut is non-movable relative to the first lug. The connection assembly further has a second body with a second lug. The second lug is placed over the first lug and a bolt is inserted through respective through-holes of the first lug and the second lug and threaded through a threaded hole of the nut.
FLOATING ARRANGEMENT FOR SUPPORTING SOLAR PANELS
A floating arrangement may include at least one support-floatation-unit for supporting a solar panel, the at least one support-floatation-unit has a main body having a flat base and at least one connection portion; and at least one connecting-floatation-unit having a flat base and at least one connection portion. The respective corner-connection-portions may be coupled together to form a connection joint connecting the support-floatation-unit and the connecting-floatation-unit in a side-by-side arrangement. A height from the base of the support-floatation-unit to the connection joint may be larger than a height from the base of the connecting-floatation-unit to the connection joint such that the base of the support-floatation-unit may extend downwards from the base of the connecting-floatation-unit by a depth which defines an additional displacement volume of the support-floatation-unit configured to provide additional buoyancy to support the solar panel.
FLOATING CARRIER DEVICE
A floating carrier device is configured to support at least one solar element floating on a water body, in particular an inland water body, with at least one floating body and with a carrier structure which is coupled with the floating body and is configured to transfer a support force of the at least one solar element to the at least one floating body.
Float assembly
The present invention has been made in view of the foregoing, and an object thereof is to provide a float assembly that is configured to be rotatable and that defines a rotation axis without constructing the expensive pillar. The present invention provides a float assembly configured to float on water, comprising: a shaft wire extending from substantially a center of the float assembly toward underwater and configured to maintain tension, wherein the float assembly is moored by the shaft wire and configured to be rotatable.
