Abstract:
Flood barrier assemblies in land near a water frontage shoreline have next adjacent panels actively erectable into a continuous barrier preventing flooding of the land. In one configuration one lateral side of a panel is a contact surface and the other lateral side carries a gasket. The panels are sequentially raised with a first to raise panel presenting a contact surface to the gasket of the next adjacent second to raise panel. In another configuration, a contact surface is on opposing lateral sides of two panels separated by a next adjacent panel between them having gaskets on both its lateral sides. The spaced first panels raise before the second panel. The raised panels may be in a linear or curved array or a combination of linear and curved arrays. Either configuration and order of raising erects a flood barrier wall sealed panel to panel by the gasket between adjacent panels.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus of  claim 1  in which said panels are sequentially raiseable from said support pan to an upright position either (i) individually in a predetermined sequence or (ii) as contiguous groups of panels in which adjacent said panels of a group are raised all at the same time in a predetermined sequence, in either instance of (i) or (ii), in which at least one panel or a group of panels is raised before a next adjacent panel or an next adjacent group of panels is raised, the first raised at least one panel or first raised group of panels presenting a said contact surface for contact of the gasket of the second to rise next adjacent panel or the next adjacent panel of said second to rise group of panels, hydrostatic pressure from water blocked at said bottom surface pressing the gasket against the contact surface of the first to rise panel or of said first to rise group of panels, providing a positive seal against invading flood water passing between said panels.
