Abstract:
A joining device of a continuous conduit is for changes in slope of seabeds. The continuous conduit defines a longitudinal direction substantially coinciding with the longitudinal direction of structural development of the continuous conduit. The continuous conduit has a longitudinal structural continuity and a fluidic continuity. The joining device includes a joint that includes at least one first joining branch, at least one second joining branch and at least one third joining branch. The first joining branch extends along the longitudinal direction and provides longitudinal structural and fluidic continuity of the continuous conduit and connects with a piece of the continuous conduit. The second joining branch provides longitudinal structural continuity of the continuous conduit. The third joining branch provides fluidic continuity of the continuous conduit. The second joining branch is exclusively suitable for providing the longitudinal structural continuity of the continuous conduit, and is unsuitable for providing the fluidic continuity.

Claim (Index 11):
A joining device of a continuous conduit for changes in slope of seabeds, said continuous conduit defining a longitudinal direction substantially coinciding with a longitudinal direction of structural development of said continuous conduit, said continuous conduit having a longitudinal structural continuity and a fluidic continuity, said joining device being suitable for connecting together at least two pieces forming a continuous conduit;\n said joining device comprising at least two joints, said at least two joints comprising at least one upstream joint and at least one downstream joint, wherein each of said at least one upstream joint and said at least one downstream joint comprises at least one first joining branch, at least one second joining branch and at least one third joining branch; wherein each of said at least one first joining branch extends along the longitudinal direction and provides the longitudinal structural continuity and the fluidic continuity of said continuous conduit and is suitable for connecting with a piece of the continuous conduit; and wherein each of said at least one second joining branch provides the longitudinal structural continuity of said continuous conduit; and wherein said at least one third joining branch provides the fluidic continuity of said continuous conduit; and wherein each of said at least one second joining branch is exclusively suitable for providing the longitudinal structural continuity of said continuous conduit, being unsuitable for providing the fluidic continuity; and wherein at least one from said upstream joint and downstream joint is a rigid joint, in which an arrangement of said first joining branch, said second joining branch and said third joining branch is locked in spatial orientation; and wherein said joining device also comprises at least one structural connection element forming a connection of longitudinal structural continuity between the respective second joining branches of said upstream joint and of said downstream joint; said structural connection element comprises at least two shafts connected together through at least one mechanical joint forming at least one articulation between said at least two shafts, so as to adapt said structural connection element to a profile of a seabed.
