Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for transfer of persons and/or goods to and/or from a pelagic structure, said device being designed to permit a safe connection between different kinds of structures, for instance a gravity platform, a mobile platform or a vessel and a floating or fixed member, such as a vessel or a quay.
  • the present invention relates to a device which is stationary relatively to the pelagic structure, and which comprises a first bridge being pivotally connected to the pelagic structure, said bridge, through a pivotal connection, carrying at its free end a second bridge, said second bridge, through a pivotal connection at its free end, being connected to a third bridge, whereby is achieved a safe and comfortable transfer device permitting variable differences of height between the two ends of the device.
  • the connection between the free end of the first bridge and the second bridge comprises a column equipped with a disc adapted to rotate in its own plane about the longitudinal axis of said column.
  • Said second bridge is pivotally connected for movement about an axis being parallel to the plane of said disc, and a piston/ cylinder device, the length of which may be varied in the longitudinal direction of said column, is pivotally connected to a point between the ends of said third bridge.
  • reference numeral 1 is a pelagic structure, for instance a gravity platform or a mobile platform adapted to be used in connection with subsea production of hydrocarbons, or a deck of a vessel.
  • the structure 1 carries a tower 2, on which a bridge 4 is pivotally mounted through a swivel ring 3 and a hinge 5, thus permitting the bridge to pivot in a vertical and a horizontal plane.
  • the bridge 4 is suspended from the tower through a cable 6 or similar component determining the angular position of said bridge in a vertical plane.
  • said bridge 4 carries a column 7, being connected to said bridge through an annular platform 8 and a hinge 9.
  • Said column 7 is connected to said tower 2 through a cable, rod or similar component 10 in such a manner that the longitudinal axes of the tower 2 and the column 7, respectively, are always mutually parallel, independently of the angular positions of the bridge 4.
  • Said column 7 carries at its lower end a rotatable disc 11, and is interiorly equipped with a pneumatic or hydraulic piston/cylinder device 12, which in the drawing is merely indicated by means of a dot/dash line.
  • a curved stair 13 having its axis in the axis of the column.
  • said disc 11 carries a second bridge 14, and a second column 15 is provided at the free end of said second bridge 14 and carries a curved stair 16 having its axis parallel with the column 15.
  • the lower end of the stair 16 is connected to a third bridge 19, which is extended at its free end by means of a ladder 20, which by means of hydraulic means 21 may pivot about a hinge 22 on the bridge 19.
  • the free end of said ladder may be supported against a quay, a deck of a vessel or other pelagic structure by means of a guide member 23.
  • said bridge is suspended in the free end of the piston rod 25 of the piston/cylinder device 12.
  • the rod 25 is guided in a guide 26 on the underside of the disc 11 on the column 7, in order to permit adjustment of the angle between the bridge 19 and the bridge 14.
  • the bridges 4, 14 and 19 are designed in such a manner as to form footbridges for persons or bridges for the transportation of goods.
  • the various bridges are able to follow the possible movements of said support structure, in that the guide member 23 by means of suitable connecting means, such as for instance ropes or similar, or cybernetics, controls the effective length of the cable 6 and the hydraulic devices 12 and 21, in such a manner that the various bridges assume approximately the same angle of inclination, while the columns 7 and 15 maintain their vertical positions, and simultaneously the horizontal distance between the structure 1 and the end of the ladder 20 may vary, while maintaining continuous footbridges, all of which having the same angle of inclination.
  • suitable connecting means such as for instance ropes or similar, or cybernetics
