Abstract
A bottom-to-surface link system includes a submarine pipe assembled to at least one float. At least one coaxial can surrounds the pipe. Junctions, which join the can to the pipe at the top and bottom orifices through which the pipe passes, include leakproof joints assembled around the pipe. Furthermore, the leakproof joints are flexible and resilient and are of the laminated abutment type.
