Abstract

The invention relates to a ship fender fot protecting hull, with fixing part, able to fix the ship fender on the boat. The popylation density of the said ship fender is more than water. Preferred, the ship fender comprises at least two holes in the inner comparment defined by outwall and on the opposite side. It is preferred that the ship fender is cyclic and the basic configuration thereof is circular, ellipse and polygon.

Description

Fender

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of fender.Fender can be protected bulkhead wall or natural rock roadster body alongside when hull impinges upon on bulkhead wall or the rock.Fender is fixed on the hull also as the snubber between hull and bulkhead wall or the rock.In the same way, fender also protects hull not contact with other ship that is located immediately at the next door.

Background technology

Fender is normally inflated buoyancy aid, and it has cylindrical or bulbous configuration and made by soft material usually.

But as buoyancy aid, common fender is limited at water line place protection hull.Conventional fender can not protect hull not to be subjected to the influence of the rock projection that the water line below stretches out.The variation of water level means that the rock projection or other obstruction that stretch out are in different height in the different time with respect to water level.Below water level, if insufficient protection hull, the rock projection of stretching out or other obstruction are easy to make hull impaired.The variation present and world climate of expection in the future also can make sea-level rise; At many port and harbors, bulkhead wall only than sea level height a bit is positioned at sea level altitude, can protects the projection of hull to be positioned at the below, sea level now in the mode of routine during beginning.

Summary of the invention

The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of fender that can protect hull better.

This purpose can realize by the fender with feature as claimed in claim 1.

When fender according to the present invention did not float over water surperficial, it can sink to the desired position and arrive the required degree of depth, and is fixed on the ship, protects hull can not strike on the found obstruction thus.Therefore this fender can be protected projection or the influence water line height and similar obstruction below the water line that hull is not subjected to outwardly directed rock projection, stretches out from bulkhead wall.Can be separately by fender of the present invention or the join protection hull by fender of the present invention and conventional fender.

Preferable configuration of the present invention has been described in the appended claim book.Preferred fender has the inner space, and the hole of its relative both sides by being arranged on fender is communicated with external environment condition.When the water outside, fender is full of air, thereby deals with simple and convenient.When fender was put under water, fender was full of water and sinks to desired depth rapidly.If fender is flat shape, preferred ring-type, fender has the large-area plane that can lean against on the hull so, with the protection hull, and deals with simple.

Description of drawings

With reference to Fig. 1-3 one embodiment of the present of invention have been described, wherein:

Fig. 1 shown along the sectional view on x-y plane,

Fig. 2 has shown the sectional view of fender along the y-z plane,

Fig. 3 has shown the sectional view of the ship that is docked in the bulkhead wall place, and is wherein fixing aboard ship according to fender of the present invention.

The specific embodiment

As shown in Figure 1 according to fender 1 of the present invention, have annulus or tire shape, open towards the opening of annulus in inside circumference.Its outer wall 2 is made by enough soft, smooth and anti abrasive elastomeric materials (for example sizing material or suitable elastic body), so that can not stay any vestige at the sidewall of ship.As shown in Figure 2, part outer wall 2 or whole outer wall 2 are strengthened by harder material (for example reinforcing bar) layer 8.Fender 1 has the annular internal space 3 that is limited by outer wall 2, and its opening towards annulus is inwardly opened.The enhancement Layer 8 of outer wall 2 has guaranteed that fender 1 is not easy compression, and has suitable intensity with shock absorbing.

The inside circumference opened and a plurality of hole 4a-c and the 5a-d of inner space 3 by annulus is connected to external environment condition.Hole 4a-c and 5a-d are arranged on the outer circumference of annulus on the opposite side of the opening of annulus respectively.Like this, when the fender leaving water, it is full of air and light weight.Be easy to transportation and loading especially.Fender can be fixed on the ship with eyelet 6a, the 6b, 7 of rope by outer wall 2 places.Just in this point, eyelet preferably is coated with the steel eye of rubber, and it uses fixing certainly steel nut and screw on outer wall 2.

When fender is hung in when putting into water on the line that is fixed on eyelet 6a, the 6b (is the top eyelet) when fender immerses in the water, at first fender is full of water by the inboard of opening of bottom eyelet 5a-5d and annulus, and simultaneously the upper hole 4a-4c at air inboard of opening by annulus and top eyelet 6a, 6b place leaves inner space 3.Last inner space 3 is full of water fully, and the total body density of fender material makes fender sink to the required degree of depth rapidly greater than the density of water.Make fender remain on the required degree of depth by the rope that is fixed on eyelet 6a, the 6b, 7.Location at two eyelet 6a, 6b place is fixing to prevent that fender from rotating with fender 1, and the while can be stablized fender 1 in the location at bottom eyelet 7 places as safe location, prevents the fender lateral movement.

Fig. 3 has demonstrated fender 1 according to the present invention and how to have protected hull 10 can not impinge upon bulkhead wall 9 to be lower than on the rock projection 11 of stretching out at the water line place.

When the rope that is fixed to eyelet 6a, 6b, 7 places is pulled upwardly fender, water is discharged by the inside and the bottom hole 5a-d of annulus.

Inboard towards the annulus of the opening of annulus can all or part ofly be closed.

As shown in Figure 1, the advantage of the annular shape of fender 1 is that fender 1 is insensitive by the lateral movement of the opening of annulus central authorities for water.Also it is contemplated that other distortion, for example oval or polygonal ring-type fender is as ring-type octagon (cross section on the x-y plane of Fig. 1), the circle on y-z plane, ellipse or polygon, and diverse shape, for example elongated shape, cylindrical shape or anchor shape.The shape that preferably has flat exterior contour contacts, forms with hull and protect the flat surface that concerns but also can have with hull.

The title of advertisement parts, ship or decoration can be arranged on the outer wall 2 of ship fender 1.
