ABSTRACT:
A support structure in combination with a flotation cell adapted to support a floatable marine dock or the like, wherein the cell comprises a buoyant, rectangular, hollow, box-shaped housing formed as a thin-walled float provided with oppositely disposed, threaded bushings molded therein in such a manner as to threadably receive a continuously threaded rod that extends across the entire width of the float, thereby rigidly interconnecting the oppositely disposed side walls thereof. The rods are positioned to protrude on each side of the float to additionally support and mount the dock frame structure, whereby stresses placed on the dock are transmitted to the rod and absorbed thereby.
