摘要

A movable joint device for coupling a column to a base resting on the sea bed and comprising a male member and a female member each including associated assembling means allowing the joint to be obtained by assembling both members in fitting relationship with positive unilateral connection, the said members being maintained in the assembled position by means for ballasting the column to ensure a constantly downwardly directed load, whereas the said members are disassembled by merely modifying the ballasting means so as to reverse the load and impart it in an upward direction.
