Abstract:
A resting device ( 1 ) of at least one portion of a linear structure ( 2 ) is for crossing an uneven underwater topography. The resting device ( 1 ) is suitable for supporting at least one portion of the linear structure ( 2 ) that defines a longitudinal direction (X-X) coincident with or parallel to the longitudinal development direction of the linear structure ( 2 ). The resting device ( 1 ) includes at least one buoyant element ( 3 ) and at least one tether ( 4 ), suitable for constraining the resting device ( 1 ) to a bed ( 5 ). The at least one buoyant element ( 3 ) is suitable for providing a sufficient buoyancy to keep the at least one tether ( 4 ) under tension. A deck ( 6 ) has a shape and material that allows distributed resting of at least one portion of the linear structure ( 2 ) on the resting device ( 1 ).

Claim (Index 12):
The resting device according to  claim 11 , wherein each buoyant element extends for a longitudinal dimension shorter than one third of the longitudinal extension of the resting device; and/or wherein said resting device is a rigid bridge; and/or\n wherein said resting device avoids comprising joints or articulations suitable for allowing relative movement of portions of said deck; and/or wherein said deck has a longitudinal extension between 25 meters and 100 meters; and/or wherein a longitudinal deck direction is defined, substantially coincident with the longitudinal development direction of said deck; and/or wherein said longitudinal deck direction is coincident with or parallel to the longitudinal direction of said linear structure; and/or wherein said deck describes a height difference at least along the longitudinal direction suitable for allowing distributed rest of at least one portion of said linear structure; and/or wherein said deck describes a substantial arc shape along the longitudinal direction; and/or wherein said device comprises at least one further tie rod, so as to comprise at least two tie rods, and wherein said at least two tie rods are anchored or resting on said bed by means of anchoring means; and/or wherein said at least two tie rods are constrained to said resting device in shoulder portions thereof; and/or wherein said tie rods are at least four tie rods and are constrained in proximity to four corner portions to said resting device.
