A connection system between a main body and a superstructure, usable in a sea environment, comprising an arrangement for moving the main body relatively to the superstructure and, guide means cooperating with said moving arrangement. The moving means arrangement is inscribed on a cylindrical surface, was the guide and moving arrangment being adapted to allow at least a swinging movement of main body relatively to said superstructure.

Connection system between a main body and a super-structure

The present invention concerns a realization procedure of a modular system particularly suitable for use off coasts, this system comprising a set of cylinders (A.sub.1, A.sub.2, A.sub.3 . . . ) rigidly linked together, this set including at least one central cylinder (A.sub.1) and a plurality of peripheral cylinders (A.sub.2, A.sub.3 . . . ). This procedure includes the following successive stages:
