Floating dock and dock unit for making such

A dock unit for a floating dock, the dock unit comprising:

• a floating body having a mating surface and at least three lateral body sides;
• and
• a cover for covering the mating surface, the cover having a top surface for forming a floor for the floating dock, the cover having a protrusion for abutting against the mating surface and for supporting the top surface at a distance from the mating surface;
• thereby creating a passage between the top surface and the mating surface providing access to each of the three lateral body sides.

A cover for covering a mating surface of a floating body assembled to another floating body with a fastener for forming a floating dock, the cover comprising:

• four lateral cover sides defining four cover corners;
• a top surface for forming the floor of the floating dock;
• four protrusions, each one of the four protrusions being operative to abut against the floating body for supporting the top surface at a distance from the floating body, each one of the four protrusions being located at a different one of the four cover corners thereby creating a passage between the top surface and the floating body providing access to at least two of the four lateral cover sides;
• and
• four contact surfaces, each one of the four contact surfaces comprising a conical portion having a symmetry axis substantially normal to the top surface, each one of the four contact surfaces being located at a different one of the four cover corners so that when the fastener attaches the floating body to the other floating body, one of the four contact surfaces is contacted by the fastener, thereby limiting the movement of the cover with respect to the floating body.
