A sluice-gate wall thimble has a support stem (1, 12) which covers an embedment side of a sluice-gate nut (2) and is fixable to a wall anchor (5, 11). The sluice-gate nut is inside threaded and fixable to an embedment side (16) of a predetermined sluice-gate wall (7) with an axis of the sluice-gate nut being in line concentrically with an axis of a wall-bolt aperture (8) on the predetermined sluice-gate wall. A plurality of the support stems on a plurality of the sluice-gate nuts in line with a plurality of the wall-bolt apertures and fixed to at least one wall anchor are employed first to prevent encroachment of fluid concrete (3) or other foundation material onto inside-diameter threading (4) of the plurality of sluice-gate nuts during construction of a predetermined sluice gate. Then after construction of the predetermined sluice gate, the plurality of support stems are employed to anchor the predetermined sluice-gate wall to the concrete or other foundation material throughout a long and reliable life of sluice-gate-wall attachment to the sluice-gate nuts. |

Vincent Bauzil |
A connecting channel arrangement between two levels or planes of water of different vertical height. A channel connecting the two levels is partially obstructed by a number of flexible members which constitute obstacles to the free flow of the water in order to obtain a significant reduction of the rate of flow and of the flow velocity, while these flexible members are able nonetheless to deflect out of the way of the passage of floating devices such as boats and debris. These flexible members each have one end connected to the bed of the channel and extend through the water in the channel in a direction transverse to the flow direction. Preferred embodiments of the flexible members are constructed as hollow rubber tubes which are connected to a compressed fluid supply for controlling their flexibility. |

There is provided with a complex ocean power system combining ocean current power generation for generating electricity by forming a plurality of ocean current generators in front and rear of sluice structures of tidal power dams and sluice power generation for generating electricity by forming a plurality of ocean current generators in sluice conduits of the sluice structures, comprising: constructing barrages, which cross over the sea, to make up a lake; installing sluice structures of tidal power dams between the barrages 10 to generate electricity by changing a potential energy difference between seawaters caused by tides and ebbs to kinetic energy; installing ocean current generators in front and rear of the sluice structures and in the sluice conduits of the sluice structures to generate electricity by rotating turbine blades using the flow of the incoming seawater from a sea side into a lake side during flood tide and the flow of the seawater discharged from the lake side into the sea side during ebb tide; and installing sluice gates in the sluice structures 102, 210 to close and open the sluice conduits during flood tide and ebb tide. |
