ABSTRACT:
A floating dock having individual dock sections pivotally interconnected by continuous metal hinge connectors to permit relative vertical pivoting movement between adjacent dock sections. The hinge connectors each comprise a pair of elongated metal hinge leafs pivotally interconnected by a pivot pin extending through aligned hinge loops on the hinge leafs. The hinge connectors are secured to adjoining spaced, parallel, portions of the respective dock sections with their pivot pins extending horizontally and lengthwise of the spacing therebetween and with the hinge leafs and their hinge loops bridging and closing the gap between the spaced dock sections at the level of their deck surfaces to form continuations thereof. The hinge leafs are preferably formed with depending side anchor leg portions for securing them to the dock sections, and their hinge loops are preferably located on their underside.
