The device has a carrying structure (200) fixed on a quay (I), and a footbridge (300) whose one end is mounted, through an joint (320), on the structure. A footbridge (400) is connected, by a joint (340), on another end of the footbridge (300). The footbridge (400) has, at its free end, a set of rollers (420) to roll on a floating pontoon (P) so that it can oscillate around the joint (340).

Floating pontoon accessing device for e.g. cyclist, has one footbridge whose one end is mounted, through joint, on carrying structure, and another footbridge with rollers to roll on pontoon so that it can oscillate around another joint

of EP0287504A bridge part (1) is articulated, so as to be adjustable in terms of inclination, on a mole (M) by means of a support (15) attached to solid foundations (F). The bridge part (1) is constructed in the form of a four-armed parallelogram, and its outer end is fastened to a portal frame (8) which slides, in terms of height, in a support (3). An overhanging horizontal handrail part (2) is fastened to the portal frame (8). By adjusting the height of the portal frame (8), in the support (3), it is possible to move the handrail part (2) relative to the level of the surface of the water.
