A marine cable includes chambers forming a necklace float. For filling, degassing the chambers and for connecting two successive chambers, the cable includes an intervention orifice between the chambers and with which the chambers communicate. Connection of the chambers to the intervention orifice is controlled by two valve mechanisms which each include an obturator spring-loaded against a communication opening and a guide rod which, when the obturator closes the opening, lies partly in the intervention orifice so that it is possible to push back the rods of the valve mechanisms from the intervention orifice for selective connection of the intervention orifice to one or the other of the two chambers or with both at the same time.
A marine cable including a plurality of chambers forming a necklace float and means for filling, degassing said chambers and means for connecting two successive chambers, said means including an intervention orifice between said chambers and with which said chambers communicate, wherein connection of said chambers to said intervention orifice is controlled by two valve mechanisms which each include an obturator pushed by spring means against a communication opening and a guide rod which, when said obturator closes said opening, lies partly in said intervention orifice so that it is possible to push back said rods of said valve mechanisms from said intervention orifice for selective connection of said intervention orifice to one or the other of said two chambers or with both at the same time.
