Abstract:
1. A protective module for use as a water shielding part of a barrier, said barrier being adapted to be positioned between a body of water and an area of land to be protected, the protective module comprising: a main plane and a first, second, third and fourth side, which sides define the main plane of the protective module, the protective module further comprising at least one first connecting element arranged at the first side and at least one second connecting element arranged at the second side, the first connecting element and the second connecting element being complementary to one another, and the first connecting element being arranged to be connected to a corresponding second connecting element of another corresponding protective module, and the second connecting element being arranged to be connected to a corresponding first connecting element of yet another corresponding protective module, wherein the protective module is arranged to be brought from an insertion position, wherein the first connecting element of the protective module is in contact with the second connecting element of a corresponding protective module, into a locking position, wherein the first connecting element of the protective module is locked to the second connecting element of a corresponding protective module, in such a way that the main plane of the protective module changes direction in proportion to a main plane of the corresponding protective module when the protective module is brought from the insertion position into the locking position, wherein each connecting element has an insertion part and a locking part, which parts are arranged to cooperate with the corresponding insertion part and locking part of another corresponding protective module in such a manner that the protective modules are locked together, wherein the protective module on the second side has a downwardly bent portion, said portion being bent downwards in such a manner that the portion is substantially perpendicular to the main plane of the protective module, and wherein at least one connecting element is arranged at an angle between the downwardly bent portion and the main plane of the protective module, such that the insertion part of the connecting element is arranged on the main surface/main plane side of the angle and the locking part of the connecting element is arranged on the downwardly bent portion side of the angle.
