ABSTRACT:
A foldaway floating dock for use on a body of water includes a plurality of floatable dock sections and a frame for interconnecting the dock sections. The frame includes an arrangement for slidably supporting each of the dock sections for movement away from and toward an adjacent dock section. The frame further includes an arrangement for facilitating pivotal movement of each dock section through 90.degree. relative to an adjacent dock station. The arrangement for facilitating pivotal movement is operable only when a dock section is spaced from an adjacent dock section, thereby allowing a folding of the dock sections one upon the other.
