Floating-type sandy beach growing device
View Patent ↗A floating-type sandy beach growing device includes wave absorbing bodies arranged in parallel at appropriate intervals, each of them including a floating body having an offing side end oriented toward offing side and a land side end having a larger buoyancy and oriented toward land side, rocking following a wave vertical movement, offing side end being pivotally supported, and a stand erected in a relatively shallow shore for pivotally supporting offing side end, floating body being level-adjusted so as to be horizontal during low tide in neap tide, and installed angled with respect to wave progress direction in a horizontal plane.
1. A floating-type sandy beach growing device constituted by
a plurality of wave absorbing bodies arranged in parallel with one another at appropriate intervals, each of said wave absorbing bodies comprising a floating body having an offing side end oriented toward an offing side and a land side end having a buoyancy larger than that of said offing side end and oriented toward a land side, said offing side end being pivotally supported to provide rocking following a vertical movement of a wave,
a floating body stand erected in water and pivotably connected to said offing side end of said floating body to pivotally support said offing side end, and
a receiving stand comprising a horizontal member and supporting members extending downward from said horizontal member to reach a sea bed, said receiving stand being installed under said land side end of said floating body at a predetermined distance from said floating body stand, to receive said land side end of said floating body on said horizontal member when said land side end rotates toward a sea bed to prevent said land side end from being buried in the sea bed, and
wherein said floating body is adjusted to be oriented in a horizontal direction during low tide in a neap tide, and installed so as to be angled with respect to a wave progress direction in a horizontal plane.
2. The floating-type sandy beach growing device according to claim 1 , wherein said floating body is formed by bundling a plurality of bamboos, a root side thereof providing said offing side end, being bound and pivotally supported on said floating body stand, while the leaf side providing said land side end without being bound.
3. The floating-type sandy beach growing device according to claim 1 , wherein said floating body stand is provided with a stopper for regulating an erection angle of said floating body.
