ABSTRACT:
A device for connecting lines associated with offshore drilling equipment comprises at least one support (24, 24') hinged to the platform by tie rods (25, 25') and movable between a position of withdrawal away from the drilling column and an operating position, near the drilling column, enabling the lines (19, 20) to be connected. A jack (35, 35') enables the support (24, 24') to be moved. In the operating position, the upper sections of the lines (19, 20) carried by the telescopic joint (2) of the drilling column have their joining members (17, 18, 21) located in concordance with the joining pieces (31) of the end parts (30) of the lines connected to the platform.
