Description

Title of the invention: Boat mooring device Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of boat mooring devices, particularly in areas likely to be subject to tides. State of the art

[0002] In the maritime domain and even more so on the ocean coast, boats moored at the edge of the coast and the shore find themselves subject to the phenomena of rising and falling tides. Thus, boats moored in this area can be subject to strong tides between the highest point called high tide and the lowest point called low tide. This zone between high tide and low tide is called the intertidal zone or foreshore, that is to say the zone corresponding to the part of the coastline located between the extreme limits of the tides. The foreshore constitutes a specific biotope which can shelter numerous natural sub-habitats in particular for shellfish, certain fish and plants.

[0003] It is known to moor boats using a mooring line comprising a subsurface float and a sheathed rope, the boat being attached to the float. It is also known to use a deadweight block type anchor placed on the seabed of the foreshore and a chain whose dimensions allow the boat to be held in its location and limit drifting.

[0004] However, when the tide passes from high tide to low tide, the water gradually recedes, causing a reduction in the tension exerted on the mooring line, which gradually touches the bottom of the foreshore. The mooring line touching the bottom of the foreshore and under the effect of the currents, causes a rotation of the mooring chain around the dead weight and a phenomenon of chafing by the chain, damaging the seabed and therefore the ecosystems found there. Thus, the fish that help to depollute and filter CO2, the flora that provides a habitat for many animals and the creation of dunes by capturing sediments can be damaged or destroyed.

[0005] Regarding dead bodies, it is known to use concrete blocks since they allow for good strength at low operating costs. However, their footprint is often not optimized.

[0006] In addition, this type of mooring is subject to factors such as premature wear of materials in a marine environment, damage due to electrolysis or even mechanical resistance of the system, swell, wind or even current. Indeed, it is known that anchor chains are subject to the effects of corrosion.

[0007] The rope connecting the float and the dead body undergoes friction movements at its attachments due to the movement of the rope in the water. These movements can in particular cause shearing of said rope and ultimately damage it to the point of requiring its replacement. It is known to use rings, often made of metal, which are inserted at the attachment between the rope and the float or the dead body. However, these rings are not optimized since friction can occur on the other side of the rope, but said ring may not be held correctly in place and come out of its location.

[0008] The invention is therefore placed in this context and seeks to resolve all of the aforementioned drawbacks. Thus, the invention seeks to propose a boat mooring device adapted to the specificities of sensitive environments and the mechanical and physical constraints linked to the environment while respecting the environment and human activity, by reducing the mechanical damage linked to the action of the chain to ensure the safety and sustainability of the environment.

[0009] The invention seeks in particular to implement a device making it possible to compensate for the variation in the water level, to avoid a displacement of the mooring line on the seabed with the currents and causing a phenomenon of chafing on the seabed during the tides.

[0010] The invention also seeks to propose a mooring lug adapted to prevent heating of the braid and therefore adapted to improve its lifespan. Presentation of the invention.

[0011] The subject of the invention is a boat mooring device comprising an anchoring means comprising at least one anchoring member and intended to be placed on a ground surface; a floating mooring means; a mooring line comprising a first end arranged to cooperate with the anchoring member of the anchoring means, a second end arranged to cooperate with said floating mooring means; at least one ballast means mounted on the mooring line between the first and second ends and at least one float mounted movably on said mooring line between the ballast means and the first end.

[0012] The boat mooring device addresses the technical problem by comprising the mooring line on which the ballast means is mounted allowing the portion of mooring line between said ballast means and the mooring means to be tensioned so as to generate cushioning of said mooring line and at least one movable float mounted on the line between the ballast means and the ground anchoring means, the movable float allows the portion of mooring line between the anchoring means and the ballast means to be flexible and can move with the current. The movable float also allows, by its composition, to be flexible and deformable and place on the bottom of the water in the direction of the force, thus limiting the footprint on the ground when rolling and the phenomenon of friction on the ground.

[0013] The mooring device may comprise an anchoring means arranged on a ground surface at the bottom of the water. The anchoring means may be a dead body. The anchoring means may comprise a submersible material. The anchoring means may comprise cast iron. The anchoring means may comprise a high density which may make it possible to reduce the footprint on the ground. The anchoring means may comprise an ovoid shape which may make it possible to reduce the current impact. The anchoring means has a small thickness which may make it possible to reduce the overturning moment of the dead body. The overturning moment is the action which the foundation of the anchoring means undergoes, under the effect of a horizontal force, for example the current, applied in the plane of said anchoring means, at a given height above the ground and at a given distance above the foundation.

[0014] The anchoring means may be adapted to resist the forces of the mooring line by friction on the seabed and by suction and / or stop effect in soft ground where they are partially buried.

[0015] The anchoring means may comprise, on a face opposite the face in contact with the ground, an anchoring member. The anchoring member may comprise a metal ring mounted on said anchoring means. In one embodiment, the anchoring member may be removable and interchangeable. Thus, it may be possible to change the anchoring member in the event of wear. In another embodiment, the anchoring member may be integral with the anchoring means and permanently mounted thereon.

[0016] The mooring device may comprise a floating mooring means. The mooring means may be a mooring buoy. The mooring means may comprise a mooring member. The mooring member may comprise a metal ring mounted on said mooring means.

[0017] The mooring device may comprise a mooring line. The mooring line may comprise a first end arranged to cooperate with the anchoring member of the anchoring means and a second end arranged to cooperate with said floating mooring means. The mooring line may comprise a second end.

[0018] The ballasting means may be mounted on the mooring line between the first and second ends. The use of the ballasting means may allow a second portion of the mooring line located between said ballasting means and the second end to be tensioned. The second portion of the mooring line may be tensioned due to the presence of said ballasting means which tension said mooring line towards the bottom. The use of the ballasting means may allow improved cushioning to be generated on the mooring line. Indeed, the ballasting means may allow the part upper part of said mooring line to avoid any snagging with the propellers of a boat during a mooring maneuver.

[0019] The at least one float mounted movably on the mooring line may be mounted between the ballast means and the first end. The use of the at least one mooring float may allow a first portion of the mooring line, located between said ballast means and the first end, to be flexible. The first portion of the mooring line may move with the current by driving the mooring float on the mooring line. Indeed, the at least one float may adapt to the movement of the line due to its mobility on the latter. The at least one float may absorb the movement constraints of said line due to its mobility on the latter. Advantageously, the at least one mooring float may have an oval shape. In one embodiment, the at least one float may be made of elastomer. The at least one float may be flexible and deformable and may thus adapt to the constraints.By being flexible and deformable, the at least one float can limit the ground footprint of the bearing. When the tide passes at low tide, the at least one float can rest on the ground, reducing the ground footprint. The ground friction of the mooring line can be reduced since the weight of said line is distributed over a portion of contact with the ground that is smaller than directly on the mooring line. The friction phenomenon can in particular be reduced and minimized during the phase of placing the mooring line on the ground. When the tide passes at low tide, the at least one float rests on the bottom of the water in the direction of the force, which can reduce ground friction. In another embodiment, the at least one float can be made of stainless steel.

[0020] Advantageously, the mooring line comprises a rope comprising the first and second ends and connecting the anchoring means and the mooring member.

[0021] Here, we can understand by rope, a chain, a cord or a braid.

[0022] The mooring line may comprise a rope of a plurality of strands, namely wires twisted together to make cables. Each end of the mooring line may comprise a splice which may be an assembly of two ropes placed end to end by the interlacing of their strands. The presence of the splice may make the mooring line easily removable. Thus, maintenance of the line may be facilitated. Replacement of the elements mounted on the mooring line may be facilitated by the presence of the splices at the ends.

[0023] Advantageously, the mooring line may comprise twelve strands braided together with a polyurethane coating. The polyurethane coating may improve the strength and abrasion resistance of said mooring line. The mooring line may comprise HMPE (high modulus polyethylene) allowing it to withstand an atmosphere of high corrosiveness of the environment. This type of rope can prevent shrinkage and elongation of the mooring line.

[0024] Advantageously, the first end of the rope comprises a first thimble arranged to cooperate with the anchoring member and the second end of the rope comprises a second thimble arranged to cooperate with the mooring means.

[0025] The first lug may comprise a peripheral groove adapted to receive a portion of the first end of the rope. The first lug may comprise a transverse opening adapted to cooperate with the anchoring member. Thus, the ring of the anchoring member may pass through the transverse opening of the first lug. The use of the anchoring member which is removable and interchangeable may allow the lug to be directly assembled with said anchoring member without using any other means of connection between them.

[0026] The second thimble may comprise a peripheral groove adapted to receive a portion of the second end of the rope. The second thimble may comprise a transverse opening adapted to cooperate with the mooring member. Thus, the ring of the mooring member may pass through the transverse opening of the second thimble.

[0027] Advantageously, the rope comprises a device for braking the mooring line, mounted on the mooring line between the mobile float and the ballast means and adapted to cooperate with the ballast means.

[0028] The at least one movable float is mounted between the first end of the mooring line and the braking device.

[0029] Advantageously, the braking device comprises a hollow cone, crossed by the mooring line, the shape of which flares from a lower point, oriented towards the mobile float, towards an upper end, oriented towards the ballast means and forming an open base.

[0030] The hollow cone may comprise an elastically deformable material which may allow the braking of the ballast means. The braking device may be rotationally molded. The braking device is adapted to absorb inertia.

[0031] The cone may comprise a wall with holes adapted to allow the evacuation of algae which may have entered the cone.

[0032] Advantageously, the braking device comprises a hollow central channel extending into the cone and crossed by the mooring line.

[0033] An axis of the central channel may be confused with an axis of symmetry of the cone. The channel may have a first end confused with the tip.

[0034] Advantageously, the base of the cone extends opposite the ballast means.

[0035] The base of the cone and the weighting means are in contact.

[0036] One end of the channel opposite the tip of the cone is in contact with the weighting means. Said end of the channel opposite the tip of the cone may be in abutment against the weighting means.

[0037] Advantageously, the base of the cone comprises a plurality of fins.

[0038] The fins may be substantially movable. The fins may make it possible to increase the resistant volume of the cone.

[0039] Advantageously, the rope comprises at least one member for locking the braking device on the mooring line in a configuration in which the braking device is kept in contact with the ballast means.

[0040] The locking member may comprise a plastic blocker. The locking member may hold the braking device against the weighting means. The locking member is free of projecting parts to avoid the risk of injury.

[0041] Advantageously, the mooring device comprises at least one float mounted fixedly on the mooring line at the first end of said mooring line.

[0042] The fixed mounted float can provide rigidity to the mooring line. The fixed mounted float can provide stability to the mooring line. The fixed mounted float can allow the line to be oriented vertically towards the surface.

[0043] The use of a fixed float can create damping on the mooring line.

[0044] Advantageously, the at least one fixed float is mounted on the mooring line between two locking members.

[0045] The two locking members can make it possible to keep the float fixed on the mooring line, at the first end of said mooring line.

[0046] Advantageously, the mooring device comprises two floats mounted movably on the mooring line, the two floats being mounted one after the other along the mooring line between the ballast means and the first end.

[0047] The two movable floats can keep the mooring line afloat until it is beached. Advantageously, the more floats there are, the better the mooring line can be kept afloat until it is beached. Indeed, the buoyancy retention and the technical effects provided by the presence of the movable floats can be improved proportionally to the number of movable floats on the mooring line.

[0048] Thus, the mooring line equipped with the ballast means, the braking means, the fixed float and the movable floats, can enable the mooring device to adapt to variations in the water level. The mooring line can adapt to variations in the water level and transmit the tensile stress of the ship. The mooring line can reduce vibrations from the ship.

[0049] Another aspect of the invention relates to a mooring lug adapted to cooperate with a mooring line of a mooring device and comprises a peripheral groove and at least one bore in continuity with said peripheral groove.

[0050] The mooring lug adapted to avoid heating of the braid responds to the technical problem by being adapted to improve its lifespan, by proposing a mooring lug adapted to cooperate with a mooring line.

[0051] The mooring lug is adapted to receive at least a portion of the mooring line. The lug is adapted to protect the mooring line against friction phenomena.

[0052] The mooring lug is adapted to cooperate with one end of the mooring line. The peripheral groove is adapted to receive said end of the mooring line.

[0053] The at least one bore is continuous with the peripheral groove. The at least one bore is adapted to receive at least a portion of the mooring line.

[0054] Advantageously, the terminal comprises two holes each positioned at one of the ends of the groove.

[0055] The groove may be continuous from one end to another. Thus the groove may be continuous from one bore to another. Each bore is continuous with the groove. Each bore is adapted to receive at least a portion of the mooring line.

[0056] Advantageously, each piercing has a first end opening into the groove and a second end opening onto the same continuous surface of the terminal as the second end of the other piercing.

[0057] The two holes open side by side so that the mooring line rope in the groove can form a loop.

[0058] Advantageously, the first end of each hole has a circular section and the second end has an oval section.

[0059] The first end of each hole may have a circular section adapted to receive the rope of the mooring line.

[0060] The second end of each hole may comprise an oval section adapted to allow the rope of the mooring line to deform in order to follow the movement of said line.

[0061] Advantageously, the two holes are symmetrical on either side of the terminal.

[0062] Advantageously, the groove is adapted to receive at least a portion of the diameter of the mooring line.

[0063] In one embodiment, half the diameter of the mooring line may be inserted into the groove. In another embodiment, more than half the diameter of the mooring line may be inserted into the groove.

[0074] [Fig.l] shows a schematic view of a mooring device 1 according to one embodiment. The mooring device 1 is also described in connection with [Fig.2] showing a schematic perspective view of a terminal according to one embodiment. The mooring device 1 is also described in connection with [Fig.3] and [Fig.4] showing a braking device according to one embodiment.

[0075] The boat mooring device 1 described in [Fig.l] comprises an anchoring means 10, a floating mooring means 13 and a mooring line 11 arranged to cooperate with the anchoring means 10 and with the floating mooring means 13.

[0076] The mooring device 1 comprises an anchoring means 10 arranged on a ground surface at the bottom of the water. The anchoring means 10 is a dead body. The anchoring means 10 comprises a submersible material. The anchoring means 10 comprises cast iron. The anchoring means 10 has a high density which makes it possible to reduce the footprint S. The anchoring means 10 has an ovoid shape which allows to reduce the current grip. The anchoring means 10 has a small thickness which allows to reduce the overturning moment of the dead body.

[0077] The anchoring means 10 comprises on a face opposite the face in contact with the ground S, an anchoring member 100. The anchoring member 100 comprises a metal ring mounted on said anchoring means 10.

[0078] The mooring device 1 comprises a floating mooring means 13. The mooring means 13 is a mooring buoy. The mooring means 13 comprises a mooring member 130. The mooring member 130 comprises a metal ring mounted on said mooring means 13.

[0079] The mooring device 1 comprises a mooring line 11. The mooring line 11 comprises a first end arranged to cooperate with the anchoring member 100 of the anchoring means 10 and a second end arranged to cooperate with said floating mooring means 13.

[0080] The mooring line 11 comprises a rope 115 comprising the first and second ends and connecting the anchoring means 10 and the mooring means 13. Between the first end and the second end, the rope 115 comprises a fixed float 114 mounted between two blocking members 113, two floats mounted movably 112 on the mooring line 11, a braking device 111 described in [Fig.3] and [Fig.4] and a ballasting means 110.

[0081] The mooring line 11 comprises a rope 115 of a plurality of strands with a polyurethane coating. The polyurethane coating makes it possible to improve the strength and abrasion resistance of said mooring line 11. The mooring line 11 comprises HMPE allowing it to withstand a highly corrosive atmosphere of the environment. This type of rope 115 makes it possible to prevent shrinkage and elongation of the mooring line 11.

[0082] The first end of the rope 115 comprises a first lug 12a arranged to cooperate with the anchoring member 100. The first lug 12a may comprise a peripheral groove 120 adapted to receive a portion of the first end of the rope 115. The first lug 12a comprises a transverse opening 122 adapted to cooperate with the anchoring member 100. Thus, the ring of the anchoring member 100 can pass through the transverse opening 122 of the first lug 12a.

[0083] The rope 115 comprises a fixed float 114 mounted on the mooring line 11 between two blocking members 113. The fixed float 114 is mounted at the first end of said mooring line 11. The fixed mounted float 114 gives rigidity to the mooring line 11. The fixed mounted float 114 gives stability to the mooring line 11. The fixed mounted float 114 makes it possible to orient the line vertically towards the surface of the water E.

[0084] The two locking members 113 make it possible to hold the fixed float 114 on the mooring line 11, at the first end of said mooring line 11. Each locking member 113 comprises a plastic blocker. Each locking member 113 is free of projecting parts to avoid the risk of injury. The two locking members 113 hold the fixed float 114 in place on the mooring line 11.

[0085] The rope 115 comprises two floats 112 mounted movably on said mooring line 11 between the first end and the ballasting means 110.

[0086] The use of the two movable floats 112 allows a first part of the mooring line 11, located between the first end and the ballast means 110, to be flexible. The two movable floats 112 are mounted one behind the other along said mooring line 11. The first part of the mooring line 11 can move with the current by driving the movable float 112 on the mooring line 11. Indeed, the two floats can adapt to the movement and absorb the movement constraints of the line 11 due to their mobility on it. The two movable floats 112 make it possible to keep the mooring line 11 afloat until grounding. Each movable float 112 has an oval shape. Each movable float 112 is flexible and deformable and thus adapts to the constraints. By being flexible and deformable, the floats limit the footprint of the bearing.When the tide passes at low tide, the mobile floats 112 rest on the ground S, reducing the footprint on the ground S. The friction on the ground S of the mooring line 11 can be reduced since the weight of said line 11 is distributed over a portion of contact with the ground S that is lower than directly on the mooring line 11. The friction phenomenon is notably reduced and minimized during the phase of depositing the mooring line 11 on the ground S. When the tide passes at low tide, the floats rest on the bottom of the water in the direction of the force, which makes it possible to reduce the friction on the ground S.

[0087] The rope 115 comprises a braking device 111 adapted to cooperate with the ballast means 110.

[0088] The ballast means 110 is mounted on the mooring line 11 between the first and second ends. The use of the ballast means 110 allows a second portion of the mooring line 11 located between said ballast means 110 and the second end to be tensioned. The second portion of the mooring line 11 is tensioned due to the presence of said ballast means 110 which stretches said mooring line 11 towards the bottom. The use of the ballast means 110 makes it possible to generate improved cushioning on the mooring line 11. Indeed, the ballast means 110 makes it possible to sink the upper portion of said mooring line 11 to avoid any snagging with propellers of a boat during a mooring maneuver.

[0089] The braking device 111 on the mooring line 11 is held in contact with the ballasting means 110 by the use of a locking member 113. The locking member 113 holds the braking device 111 against the ballasting means 110.

The braking device 111 comprises a hollow central channel 111.2 extending into the cone 111.1 and crossed by the mooring line 11. An axis of the central channel 111.2 coincides with an axis of symmetry of the cone 111.1. The channel 111.2 comprises a first end coincident with the tip 111.1a.

[0092] The base 111.1b of the cone 111.1 comprises a plurality of fins 111.3. The base 111.1b of the cone 111.1 extends opposite the ballast means 110. The base 111.1b of the cone 111.1 and the ballast means 110 are in contact. One end of the channel 111.2 opposite the tip 111.1a of the cone 111.1 is in contact with the ballast means 110. Said end of the channel 111.2 opposite the tip 111.1a of the cone 111.1 is in abutment against the ballast means 110.

[0093] The fins 111.3 are substantially movable. The fins 111.3 make it possible to increase the resistant volume of the cone 111.1.

[0094] The second end of the rope 115 comprises a second lug 12b arranged to cooperate with the mooring member 130. The second lug 12a may comprise a peripheral groove 120 adapted to receive a portion of the second end of the rope 115. The second lug 12b comprises a transverse opening 122 adapted to cooperate with the mooring member 130. Thus, the ring of the mooring member 100 can pass through the transverse opening 122 of the second lug 12b.

Each hole 121 is continuous with the groove 120. Each hole 121 has a first end opening into the groove 120 and a second end opening onto the same continuous surface of the terminal 12 as the second end of the other bore 121. The first end of each bore 121 has a circular section. The second end of each bore 121 has an oval section. The two bores 121 open side by side so that the rope 115 of the mooring line 11 in the groove 120 forms a loop. The two bores 121 are symmetrical on either side of the thimble 12.
