Abstract

modular platform for maintenance access to marine fenders. The platform was developed to give access to the maritime fender sets quickly and safely, and also with the objective of reducing the high physical and ergonomic efforts that are currently practiced, because the structure is made of fittings, it can only be used a small rig to hoist and assemble the arm assemblies and then install the floorboards.

MODULAR PLATFORM FOR MAINTENANCE ACCESS TO MARITIME DEFENSES.

1. This patent refers to a modular platform with articulating supports to access maritime fenders.

2. Platform designed to meet the maintenance of maritime fenders used as bulkheads for ships during their stay in ports for unloading and shipping products.

3. In order to build a platform that would meet the needs of easy-to-use structural maintenance and that would also offer safety in its use, I developed a platform that consists of two metal arms with articulating floor supports that are fixed by a metallic base fixed by screws to the concrete structures that make up the structure of the ships' mooring pier, each arm being provided with four 90 degree articulating stringers that allow the support of planks to access the maintenance site according to the required height at the limit of three meters high.

4. For a better understanding in the functioning of the Modular Articulable Platform, I present two figures, with functional description of each item that composes the referred equipment and its respective functions.

FIGURE 1 represents a front view.

FIGURE 2 represents a side view.

5. In the detailed description of figure 2 of the modular platform, we can see that we have a metal base (2) fixed to the concrete wall (1), by the screws (15) shown in figurei, which should be permanently fixed.

6. Continuing to observe figure 2, we have the arm (3) that is connected to the metal base (2), by the claws (4) of the support (2) and by the claws of the support (4) that support the platform structure modular.

7. Continuing in figure 2, we can see that on the arm (3) we have the five support stringers (6) for adjustments of different levels and fixed by the pins (7), and toggle (12), which can be seen in the figure (1 ) and limited to 90 degrees by the stops (16).

8. Finishing the analysis of figure 2, we can see the shock absorbers (13) fixed by the screws (8) in the concrete wall (1) and in the other end fixed in the metallic panel (10), by the screws (9). The rubber tires (13) and the metallic panel (8) suffer wear and tear with the time of use, hence the need for the platform for maintenance in the maritime fenders.

9. Finishing the analysis by figure 1, we see a front view, where we have the floor boards (11) and the screws (15) for fixing the bases (2).
