Boat dock assembly

In dock adapted to be assembled from a plurality of sections, each of said sections including a side rail member and plurality of decking members, spacer means interconnecting said decking members in close parallel spaced relation to each other, locking means extending through said spacer means for interconnecting the side rail and decking members in transverse relation to each other, hinge means pivotally interconnecting adjacent sections of the dock spaced from each other by a gap and tread retaining means connected to one of the adjacent sections in overlying relation to the hinge means for substantially bridging the gap between the adjacent sections of the dock.

In a dock adapted to be assembled from a plurality of sections, hinge means pivotally interconnecting adjacent sections of the dock spaced from each other by a gap for relative angular displacement of the adjacent sections in assembled relation by up to approximately 230 degrees, and tread retaining means connected to one of the adjacent sections in overlying relation to the hinge means for substantially bridging the gap between the adjacent sections of the dock.

In a dock adapted to be assembled from a plurality of sections and an elongated support beam, each of said sections including a plurality of decking members and spacer means interconnecting said decking members independently of the support beam in close parallel spaced relation to each other, each of said decking members comprising an elongated rigid extrusion having a floor portion, at least one supporting rib depending from the floor portion into contact with the support beam, at least two tread retaining formations projecting upwardly from the floor portion and gripping means formed in underlying relation to the floor portion for receiving the spacer means above the support beam.

In a dock adapted to be assembled from a plurality of sections, a plurality of longitudinally adjustable leg assemblies connected to each of said sections, and an anchoring foot device connected to each of said leg assemblies adapted to be embedded in earth to anchor the dock, said anchoring foot device including a pair of shell elements, and means pivotally connecting said shell elements to the leg assembly in spaced relation to each other for displacement between a closed position forming a continuous concave curvature and an open position facilitating withdrawal of the foot device from the earth.
