This invention consists in quickly and efficiently building a dike for protection against natural flooding. The main components for construction of a Water Dike are flexible polypropylene waterproof sandbags, rectangular in shape, and rigid plastic containers. The flat-bottomed polypropylene sandbags resemble, with their two handles, reusable supermarket bags. The rigid plastic containers are round in shape and end at the top through a neck. They are at least 20 cm bigger than the sandbags. In each sandbag we will place a rigid container. The containers will be filled with water, then the sandbags will also be filled with water and attached by their handles to the rigid containers. The containers, through their weight, ensure that the dike is stable. The sandbags, through their flexibility, and by clinging to each other through the pressure of the water that they contain, ensure watertightness.
Cette invention consiste en un dispositif servant à fabriquer rapidement et
efficacement
une digue de protection temporaire contre les inondations naturelles. Les
principales
composantes pour la construction d'une Digue d'eau sont des4 sachets souples
de
polypropylène étanchéifiés de forme rectangulaire, à fond plat, et des
contenants de
plastique rigides. Les sachets sont reliés l'un à l'autre, côte à côte, et
déposés au sol pour
former une chaine là où on souhaite ériger la digue. Les contenants de
plastique rigide
sont de forme tubulaire et se terminent au sommet par un goulot. Ils sont plus
hauts que
les sachets. Chaque sachet possède deux bretelles, une devant et une derrière.
Dans
chaque sachet nous placerons un contenant rigide. Chaque sachet sera accroché
à son
contenant, au niveau du goulot, par ses deux bretelles. Les contenants seront
remplis
d'eau; puis les sachets seront aussi remplis d'eau. Les contenants rigides,
par leur poids,
assurent la stabilité de la digue; les sachets, par leur souplesse, en se
plaquant au sol en
se moulant l'un à l'autre par la pression de l'eau qu'ils contiennent,
assurent l'étanchéité.
Pour ajouter à la stabilité de la digue, les contenants rigides seront reliés
l'un à l'autre au
niveau du goulot par des lamelles rigides.
