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 34):
The method of  claim 27  in which said panels when upright are linearly arrayed and in which interior single or plural panels of a group of panels resident in a said support pan each have said gasket contacting a said contact surface of a said next adjacent panel and in which said group of panels are raised from said pan to an upright position all at the same time, hydrostatic pressure from water blocked behind said bottom surface pressing the gasket against the contact surface of panels in said group, providing a positive seal against invading flood water passing between said panels.
