Abstract
A module adapted to form a protective barrier against liquid runoff or flooding, the module being movable between a working position and a stowed position, including a base adapted to anchor the module to the ground; a retention member mounted to the base to extend vertically relative to the base when the module is in the working position, and extend parallel to the base when the module is in the stowed position; a flexible waterbag fixed to the retention member, wherein the waterbag is supported by the base and adapted to receive liquid passing through an opening of the retention member when the module is in the working position, and the waterbag is contained in the box when the module is in the stowed position.

A module adapted to form a protective barrier against liquid runoff or flooding, the module being movable between a working position and a stowed position, the module comprising:
- a base adapted to anchor the module to the ground;
- a retention member comprising a wall adapted to retain liquid and an opening adapted to let liquid pass therethrough, wherein the retention member is mounted to the base to:
- extend vertically relative to the base when the module is in the working position, and
- extend parallel to the base to form a box with the base when the module is in the stowed position;
- a flexible waterbag fixed to the retention member, wherein:
- the waterbag is supported by the base and adapted to receive liquid passing though the opening when the module is in the working position,
- the waterbag is contained in the box when the module is in the stowed position, and
- the waterbag is embedded with a reinforcement adapted to compress when the module is moved from the working position to the stowed position.
A protective barrier against liquid runoffs or floods, comprising two or more modules, each module being movable between a working position and a stowed position, each module comprising:
- a base adapted to anchor the module to the ground;
- a retention member comprising a wall for retaining liquid and an opening for letting liquid pass therethrough, wherein the retention member is mounted on the base to:
- extend vertically relative to the base when the module is in the working position, and
- extend parallel to the base to form a box with the base when the module is in the stowed position;
- a flexible waterbag fixed to the retention member, wherein:
- the waterbag is supported by the base and adapted to receive liquid passing though the opening when the module is in the working position, and
- the waterbag is contained in the box when the module is in the stowed position;
- a connecting plate mounted to the retention member to extend along a lateral side of the retention member when the module is in the working position and configured to connect the module to a second module when the module is in the working position;
- and
- a pressure latch adapted to lock the connecting plate in a desired orientation.
A module adapted to form a protective barrier against liquid runoff or flooding, the module being movable between a working position and a stowed position, the module comprising:
- a base adapted to anchor the module to the ground;
- a retention member comprising a wall adapted to retain liquid and an opening adapted to let liquid pass therethrough, wherein the retention member is mounted to the base to:
- extend vertically relative to the base when the module is in the working position, and
- extend parallel to the base to form a box with the base when the module is in the stowed position;
- a flexible waterbag fixed to the retention member, wherein:
- the waterbag is supported by the base and adapted to receive liquid passing though the opening when the module is in the working position, and
- the waterbag is contained in the box when the module is in the stowed position;
- and
- a rear plate removably mounted to an extremity of the waterbag distant from the retention member.
