Underwater chain stopper and fairlead apparatus for anchoring offshore structures

An underwater chain stopper and fairlead apparatus for offshore structures, drilling platforms, ships or other vessels. The apparatus comprises a mounting member, a fairlead member and a chain stopper member. The mounting member is attached to an underwater surface of the offshore structure or vessel and includes a bracket for coupling the fairlead member. The bracket may comprise a hinge allowing the fairlead member to pivot in an approximately horizontal plane. The chain stopper member is coupled to the fairlead member through a hinge which allows the chain stopper member to pivot with respect to the fairlead member in an approximately vertical plane. The chain stopper member includes a chain stopper flapper having a horseshoe shaped opening at one end. The other end of the flapper is connected to the chain stopper member through a hinge which allows the flapper to swing between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the chain links for the anchor chain are allowed to pass by the horseshoe shaped opening on the flapper. The horseshoe shaped opening also includes a chain link seat which stops movement of the anchor chain through the chain stopper member when the flapper is in the closed position. The chain stopper flapper moves to the closed position under the force of gravity to provide a self-locking chain stopper. A latch mechanism is provided for latching the chain stopper flapper in an open position.

Closing link chain

ActiveCN101012863AInhibition of lateralityReduce gapChain fasteningsDriving chainsCoupling
The present invention relates to a closing lock link for a bicycle chain with narrow and long structure, the lock link is composed of two closing lock members that respectively has an external plate and a chain pin fixed on the external plate. The external plate is disposed with a long hole and a pin hole which has a larger diameter in external profile area. The chain pin has a pin head, a pin groove and a pin tail having a cavity extends along axial direction. The cavity is enlarged when mounting the closing lock member thereby the pin tail can tightly contact the pin hole profile to further form a shape coupling connection. In order to obtain minimum chain width, the pin head is short that the thickness of the plate. The pin head is in a concave part at the small diameter end of the long hole. In order to prevent disassembling the locked closing lock chain, the concave part is disposed with one or more narrow parts. The narrow part can effectively engage to the circumferential surface of the pin head or the circumferential surface of the pin groove, or act on the annular surface of the pin groove, or engage to their combination, therefore, the closing lock chain can be prevented from being opened suddenly.

Chain lock

A chain lock for high-strength steel chains has two lock parts that are the same and can be joined together in a rotation-symmetry arrangement with one another, in the longitudinal direction. Each lock part has a longitudinal stay having arc segments that follow it at both ends. There are two coupling elements that are configured complementary to one another and are assigned to the two arc segments of each lock part. One of the elements is configured as a locking stay that follows the longitudinal extension of the lock part, and the other element is configured as a stay accommodation. The locking stay of the one lock part engages in the stay accommodation of the other lock part and rests against the complementary coupling surface of the stay accommodation with its coupling surface formed by the face end in the joining direction. The coupling surfaces comprise a coupling surface segment having a defined width, which has no curvature or only an insignificant curvature pointing in the joining direction.

According to the present invention, in addition to the basic function of a transformation preventing portion which supports the structure of the lifting ring so as to increase the tensile strength of the lifting ring, considering that the tensile force increases due to the force of lifting the lifting ring and the weight of the object to be lifted during the lifting, the lifting ring can be prevented from transforming due to the pull toward the coupling nut and a space for the rotation of the coupling nut can be acquired. Moreover, if a coupling hole is provided on the object to be lifted, the object to be lifted is coupled by means of a coupling nut mounted on the lifting fastener. And if a bolt is provided on the object to be lifted, the object to be lifted is coupled by means of the coupling nut while the coupling bolt is separated from the liftingfastener. And if the coupling bolt mounted on the lifting fastener or the bolt provided on the object to be lifted is long, the interfering transformation preventing portion is omitted for effective use.
