7 results about "Navigational aid" patented technology

A navigational aid (also known as aid to navigation, ATON, or navaid) is any sort of marker which aids the traveler in navigation, usually nautical or aviation travel. Common types of such aids include lighthouses, buoys, fog signals, and day beacons.

A steel marker ship

This application relates to a steel-hulled marker vessel, belonging to the field of navigational aid technology. It includes a hull, a cable, an anchor, a guide clamp, and a towing assembly. The cable is mounted on the hull, the anchor is mounted on the cable, the guide clamp is mounted on the hull and used to scrape away debris from the cable during retraction, and the towing assembly is mounted on the hull and used to wind up the cable. This application eliminates the need for manual cleaning of debris from the cable, improving the time-consuming, labor-intensive, and unsafe process of cleaning debris from the cable of a marker vessel.

Beacon for aid to navigation

PCT designated stageWO2026034686A1LighthouseLighting heating/cooling arrangementsEngineeringNavigational aid
The present invention relates to a beacon for an aid to navigation, the beacon being capable of providing beacon light having a vertically extended light distribution by enabling light dispersed upwardly or downwardly among light irradiated in the lateral direction from light sources to be refracted in the lateral direction with a low slope by means of an upper reflective member and a lower reflective member, thereby being easily identified from a long distance, considering the number or size of the light sources.

Anti-collision beacon or light float

This invention belongs to the field of navigational aid technology, specifically relating to an anti-collision navigational aid or buoy, comprising: a float body with a fender and an elastic buffer; a frame with a first and second support plate, wherein a solar panel is mounted on the first support plate and a signal indicator light is mounted on the second support plate; and a buffer mechanism including fasteners connected to an anti-collision ring via buffer links; wherein the buffer links have multi-level buffer zones, and the anti-collision ring includes a rubber bladder with an aluminum alloy frame layer on its outer side, and a polyethylene material layer on the outer side of the aluminum alloy frame layer, the polyethylene material layer being coated with a thin elastic reflective coating. This invention, through the inclusion of a buffer mechanism and reflective plates, effectively reduces the probability of the navigational aid being struck or the extent of damage after a collision.
