6. Floating hinge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_hinge

   A floating hinge is a hinge that, while able to behave as a normal hinge, enables one of the objects to move away from the other - hence "float". In effect, the hinge allows for two parallel axes of rotation – one for each object joined by the hinge – and each axis can be moved relative to the position of the other.

7. Caisson (lock gate) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_(lock_gate)

   This is a permanent fixture within the dock, like a hinged dock gate, and moves upon a fixed track. The sides of the caisson are vertical, making a narrow rectangular box. Water ballast is used to control its buoyancy, as for the ship caisson, but the floating caisson is then hauled sideways into a recess built into the side of the dock wall.
