Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 A mooring arrangement 2 according to the invention is shown. The device 2 comprises a frame 4, mooring wheels 6 and a locking system (not shown).

[0030] The frame 4 comprises a substantially U-shaped body 5 defining two opposite parallel sides 8 , 10 . At the front end of the frame (ie the end towards the vessel being moored) there is a pair of horizontal mooring line guide elements 20a, 20b. The ends of the respective guide elements terminate in upwardly projecting end plates 22a, 22b.

[0031] The frame 4 comprises opposed holes 14 in the sides 8, 10, in which holes the shaft 12 is arranged. This shaft defines a horizontal axis 16 .

[0032] A region 7 with a reduced height is provided towards the rear end of the frame in which a vertical hole 30 is provided which defines a vertical axis 32 .

[0033] The mooring wheel 6 is rotatably coupled to the shaft 12 and is arranged such that a part of the mooring wheel 6 is disposed between the frame sides 8, 1...

Abstract

A mooring apparatus (2) including a frame (4), a mooring wheel (6) and a locking system, wherein the mooring wheel includes a circumferentially located mooring rope engagement portion and is rotatably coupled to the frame; and the locking system is adapted to prevent rotation of the mooring wheel when in a locked configuration and to permit rotation of the mooring wheel when in a released configuration, whereby when the locking system is in the locked position, the mooring wheel is configured such that the forces exerted by a mooring rope against the mooring apparatus act along an axis which passes substantially through a rotational axis of the mooring wheel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mooring arrangement for mooring a ship at a quay. Background technique [0002] A mooring is known around which a mooring line from a vessel can be releasably held. However, each of these devices may have at least one problem. [0003] For example, one known type of device comprises a retaining element in the form of a pivotable fork having a locked position and a released position. In the locked position, the prongs are substantially vertical, while in the released position they are substantially horizontal or the distal ends of the prongs can fall to the ground. One problem with this type of equipment is that the mooring line usually requires considerable force to be exerted on the fork before it can be released. This delays the loosening of the mooring rope in the event that the mooring rope has already slackened and a sufficient force is not exerted on the fork. In addition, the device requires a locking mechanism cap...
