Definitions

  • a watercraft is usually moored to a wharf or a pier by fastening said watercraft both to suitable mooring bitts and to at least one submerged or underwater member, consisting of either an anchor or, often, a displaceable branch of a cable, chain or any other suitable means which is anchored to the bottom of the mooring area.
  • said branch of the submerged chain must be picked up and raised by means of an anchor or a harpoon to fasten the mooring cable or cables thereto. This operation is somewhat difficult and time-consuming and, above all, it fouls the craft and the operator's hands disgustingly due to organic and inorganic sediments adhering to the submerged mooring chain.
  • the invention aims to overcome this disadvantage by virtue of the following solution.
  • Fastened to the branch of the submerged mooring chain is any suitable means the specific gravity of which can be modified at a distance, e.g. an inflatable and deflatable buoy.
  • Said buoy is connected by a flexible hose to an inflating/deflating power pack arranged at the mooring means in each mooring area ashore.
  • an inflating/deflating power pack arranged at the mooring means in each mooring area ashore.
  • air can be admitted into the buoy so that it will be inflated and will rise to quickly carry the submerged mooring point up to the surface whereby one can moor thereto quickly, easily and with no fouling.
  • said buoy when said buoy is deflated, it will be drawn to the bottom by the mooring chain which resumes its rest condition.
  • letter B indicates a stationary bitt secured to the edge of a pier or wharf and which identifies a mooring area.
  • Said area comprises at least one submerged chain C, or a cable, a rope or any other suitable means, provided with at least one displaceable branch C1 which constitutes the submerged mooring means.
  • the free end of said branch C1 of the chain has connected thereto an inflatable and deflatable buoy 1 provided with a sturdy bracket 2 provided with rings 3-103 at the ends thereof, one of said rings being connected to said branch C1.
  • the bracket 2 is surrounded by an air bladder of flexible material 101 which constitutes the buoy, which is preferably of toric shape and is vulcanized or anyway fixed suitably to said bracket.
  • the bracket 2 and buoy 1 are associated so that when the buoy is inflated and floating, the ring 3 of the bracket is directed upwards.
  • the buoy may have the configuration of a wheel with a tire, i.e. a central rim which mounts at the periphery thereof an inflatable and deflatable tube held firmly on said rim in any suitable manner, either fixedly or removably.
  • the bracket 2 will be either secured to or integral with said rim, and the whole can be easily conceived and carried out by those skilled in the art.
  • the air bladder 101 is provided with at least one inflation and deflation point 4 arranged anyway either on said component or on the bracket 2, which may be provided with an internal duct communicating with the interior of said bladder.
  • Said point 4 is connected to at least one hose 5 made of any suitable flexible material resisting to chemical-physical strains, one part of which is as long as the chain branch C1, another part of which is held on the bottom of the mooring area by suitable ballast members 6, and another part of which rises up the side of the wharf or pier so that its opposite end may be connected to a power pack 7 arranged at the bitt B.
  • the power pack 7 may comprise a non-return valve 8 vith a manual release 108, a maximum pressure valve 9 which controls the inflation pressure for the buoy, and a union 10 for quick and releasable connection with the delivery of a source of compressed air, e.g. a small electrically-driven, compressor mounted on a carriage, or a bottle of compressed gas, or other pneumatic accumulator, which may be provided on board the craft or may be available ashore to be used in turn by the various users of the mooving area.
  • a source of compressed air e.g. a small electrically-driven, compressor mounted on a carriage, or a bottle of compressed gas, or other pneumatic accumulator, which may be provided on board the craft or may be available ashore to be used in turn by the various users of the mooving area.
  • the power pack 7 may be constructed so as to further simplify the mooring operation, as described herinafter with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
  • the control unit 14 may have connected thereto a flash signaling lamp 20 arranged within a suitable housing outside of the container 11.
  • the power pack constructed as above operates as follows: when the unit 14 receives an activating signal, for example, a radio control signal received by the antenna 15, the compressor 12 is activated and the valve 17 is opened so that pressurized air may get into the buoy.
  • the pressure-switch 19 automatically stops the compressor 12 and closes the solenoid valve 17 when the buoy is inflated at the pressure required for flotation.
  • the unit 14 receives a disactivating signal, it causes the solenoid valve 18 to be opened in timed manner to permit the deflaction of the buoy.
