Towing/Pushing Equipment TRIZ Cases
- Tugboat Line Guide Mechanism for Safe Line Handling
A protruding line guide mechanism redirects heaving lines away from crew members to prevent impact injuries and deck damage.
- Tugboat Line Handling System with Movable Guide Mechanism
A tugboat line handling system uses a movable guide mechanism to direct lines toward a predetermined perimeter region for secure coupling.
- Running Block for Marine Seismic Array Positioning
A controllable running block travels along a deflected tow wire to position marine seismic equipment.
- Submarine Towing System With Movable Carriage
A movable carriage transitions along a rail to secure towing lines, eliminating manual crew exposure during transit and emergency operations.
- Thimble Anti-Fouling Guide Plates for Rigging
Guide plates block shackle ends from entering the thimble eye, eliminating twisting and stress on towing components.
- Towed Array Position Controller with Retractable Wings
Deployable wings counteract array weight at low speeds, preventing sinkage and maintaining sensor alignment.
- Trawl Door Pulling Points for Stable Low-Angle Operation
Internal pulling points on the trawl door frame establish a 10-20 degree angle of attack, resolving stability and drag trade-offs.
- Tool-Free Vehicle Accessory Support Structure
A vehicle accessory support structure uses a lockable base and brace system for quick tool-free mounting.
- Subsea Rigid Tie-in Connection Transport Frame
Extensible suspension links lower a buoyancy-supported frame carrying rigid tie-in connections into sub-surface transit to prevent plastic deformation.
- CW Radar Using ELF Waves for Saltwater Metal Detection
Continuous-wave radar emits extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals in conductive saltwater.
