Abstract
A water structure formed from at least one flexible tube or sleeve, that functions as a water containment vessel when at least partially filled with water and closed at its ends, and includes a rope positioned therein. The rope is for connection, on one end, to a second flexible tube or sleeve and is for use in pulling the second flexible tube or sleeve through the first tube or sleeve. The second tube is then to receive a volume of water therein, that expands the second tube against the first tube inner surface to function as a water structure.
Claims4
A water structure comprising, first and second flexible tubes or sleeves that can be closed at their ends, each forming a vessel;
- a roll-prevention structure maintained with said first flexible tube or sleeve;
- one or more filling means for filling each of said flexible tubes or sleeves with water;
- and further including a rope for arrangement through said first flexible tube or sleeve before filling the first flexible tube or sleeve with water, and said rope is arranged for attachment to an end of said second flexible tube or sleeve, whereby, when said rope is pulled out from an end of said first flexible tube or sleeve containing a significant volume of water, said second flexible tube or sleeve travels through, to function as a liner for, said water filling said first flexible tube or sleeve.
