Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rocking sea anchor and in particular relates to a sea anchor for protecting the seabed.
- a sea anchor can be considered as a hook which, dropped from a boat, hangs on the seabed and keeps the boat immobile and therefore safe.
- the anchor Even if there are many types of anchors, the main function being to cling to the seabed, the anchor mainly comprises a pointed part able to sink into the ground or to grip the relief of the bottom.
- the anchor is released and the anchor line is unwound until the anchor reaches the bottom.
- the boat is slowly reversing, the mooring line continues to be unwound until the length of the mooring line reaches at least three times the water level.
- the line Once the calculated line length has been reached, the line is moored to the boat in order to be blocked, the traction in the line increases and the anchor, pulled on the bottom, buries itself in the ground or clings to the relief and blocks itself.
- buoy of orin In order to preserve the bottom during the ascent of the anchor, it is possible to use a complementary system called buoy of orin.
- This system consists of a cable attached by one of its ends to a ring located on the axis of the blades, a buoy being attached to the other end.
- the ascent of the anchor is then done by pulling the anchor by the rope, therefore upside down compared to the conventional ascent.
- this system is difficult to implement and often ineffective. Therefore, it is used in special cases, for example to signal the anchorage to potential future arrivals when it comes to very busy sites.
- anchors of the rocking anchor type which have a blade release system when the anchor is raised.
- the mooring line passes vertically, the mobile loop on which the chain is hung is then positioned perpendicular to the rod, the blades are then released and thus rotate freely around their axis.
- the anchor then easily emerges from its anchor point and its ascent is thus done without any difficulty and without damage to the seabed.
- the object of the invention is to provide an anchoring device of the rocker anchor type equipped with a reliable system for blocking the unlocking of the blades allowing the protection of the seabed and this whatever the phase of the anchoring.
- the object of the invention is therefore a marine anchor comprising a hollow axis, an axis / blade assembly rotating relative to the hollow axis, a latch axis capable of blocking the rotation of the axis / blade assembly, a lever adapted to receiving a mooring line, the lever pivoting between a first position and a second position to move the bolt axis from its blocking position to its position for unlocking the axis / blade assembly.
- the sea anchor comprises means for pivoting the lever from its first to its second position when the tensile force in the mooring line is less than a certain value.
- FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of the anchor according to the invention
- FIG. 2 represents a section of the anchor in the unlocked position
- FIG. 3 represents a section of the anchor in the locked position
- Figure 4 shows a section of the anchor, along a plane perpendicular to the section plane of Figure 3, during its ascent.
- the anchor comprises a hollow axis composed of two hollow tubes 10 and 12 called yards, a sleeve 11 extending the rod 12 and in which pivots the axis / blades and a chain 18 chain attached to the end of the rod 10 by a lever assembly 34, a link not visible in the figure and a movable loop 36.
- the axis / blades assembly comprises an axis 13, two main blades 14 and four secondary blades 15 and 17 between which two cubic blocks 16 are positioned.
- the axis 13 pivots inside a sleeve 11 which is a perpendicular extension of the rod 12.
- the chain 18 is extended by a wetting line such as a cable or a chain.
- the rod 10 is fitted into the rod 12 over ten centimeters and held in this position by means of at least one bolt 37 screwed into the wall of the rod 10 and passing through an oblong hole 35 of the rod 12.
- the length of the oblong hole 35 allows the rotation of the rod 10 relative to the rod 12 by about 10 °.
- the sea anchor preferably comprises another bolt situated on the rod 10 and passing through another oblong hole in the rod 12, the bolt and the hole being situated opposite the bolt 37 and the hole 35.
- a spring 22 is fixed on one side to the end of the rod 10 on a stop 54 and on the other to a moving part 24 called a sleeve, sliding inside the rod 10.
- the spring 22 is such that 'it pushes on the sleeve 24 so as to maintain it by compression in a position as close as possible to the end of the rod 10 on the side of the lever 34.
- the sleeve 24 is connected by a pin 42 to a link 32 itself even connected to a lever 34 by an axis 44.
- the axis 42 is movable in translation according to two oblong holes 30 located in the wall of the rod 10 so that the lever 34 pivots on the axis 46 fixed to the rod 10, between two positions, a first position in which it is aligned with the rod 10 and a second position in which it makes a maximum angle with the rod 10.
- the lever 34 allows the chain 18 to be hooked, directly or via the movable loop 36.
- a latch pin 20 slides inside the tubes 10 and 12 and inside the hollow sleeve 24 and is guided inside the rod 12 in its longitudinal movement by a crown 52 on the internal wall of the rod 12
- the bolt axis 20 is connected on the one hand to the sleeve 24 by a sliding connection by means of pin 40, called a pin in the following description, crossing the bolt axis at one of its ends and whose movement is limited by the oblong holes 28 made in the sleeve 24 and connected on the other hand to the end of a spring 26 placed inside the sleeve 24, the other end of the spring being fixed to the sleeve on a stop 56.
- the one of the ends of the latch axis 20 is therefore secured to both the pin 40 and the spring 26 while the other end of the latch axis 20 is engaged or not inside the axis 13 carrying the blades.
- the stiffness of the spring 22 is greater than the stiffness of the spring 26.
- the spring 26 is such that at rest it maintains the pin 40 at the end of the oblong holes 28 on the side of the axis 13 carrying the blades.
- the length of the oblong holes 28 delimits the stroke of the bolt axis between two extreme positions allowing on the one hand the free rotation of the axis / blade assembly relative to the sleeve 11 at the end of the rod 12 and on the other share the blocking of the axis / blade assembly with respect to the sleeve 11 and to the rod 12.
- the pin 40 In the first position, the pin 40 is located at the end of the oblong holes 28 on the side of the chain and the bolt axis 20 is outside the groove 50 thus allowing the free rotation of the axis 13 in the sleeve 11.
- the pin 40 is located at the end of the oblong holes 28 on the side of the blades and the latch axis 20 is inside a groove 50 formed in the axis 13 of the blades so as to block the rotation of the axis 13 in the sleeve 11.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate the first position in which the blades are free and unlocked while FIG. 3 illustrates the second position in which the blades are blocked.
- the shape of the groove 50 is elongated so that the axis 13 of the blades can rotate on its axis with an arc of 70 ° when the bolt axis 20 is engaged inside.
- the anchor in the first phase of anchoring, the anchor is dropped from the boat and lowered into the water to immobilize the boat.
- the mooring line is unwound until the anchor reaches the bottom.
- the boat is slowly reversing, the mooring line continues to be unwound until its length reaches at least three times the height of the water.
- the chain is then generally placed at the bottom and its tension is not important. However, when the tension in the chain is low, the force exerted by the spring 22 is sufficient to maintain the sleeve 24 towards the end of the rod 10 on the side of the free loop 36 driving the spring 26 and consequently the latch axis 20.
- the lever 34 and the link 32 are then not aligned but form an angle as shown in FIG. 2 since the spring 22 exerts a force on the sleeve 24 and the link which is not compensated by the tension of the chain so that the axis 42, positioned at the end of the link and integral with the sleeve 24 is located on the side of the oblong holes 30 opposite the blades.
- the sleeve 24 is held by the spring 22 in a position as close as possible to the end of the rod 10 on the chain side. In this way, the bolt axis remains outside the groove 50.
- the anchor is towed to the bottom. Thanks to the free rotation of the axis 13 in the sleeve 11, the blades rotate around their axis. The small blades 15 and 17 as well as the blocks 16 assist the rotation. In this way, the main blades 14 do not plow the bottom and do not pluck the flora.
- the line is moored to the boat and is tensioned by the weight of the anchor.
- the chain tension 18 increases and becomes greater than the threshold value, the lever 34 tends to align with the rod 10 by pivoting around the axis 46 fixed to the rod 10, thus forcing the link 32 to align also on the axis of the rod 10 so that the axis 42 moves in the oblong hole 30 towards its end on the side of the blades. Therefore, beyond a certain value of the chain tension, corresponding to the threshold value, the displacements of the axis 42 and of the sleeve 24 are not prevented by the action of the spring 22 which is compressed.
- the latch pin 20 on which the spring 26 exerts a force then engages in the groove 50 as soon as it is then aligned on the latter as shown in FIG. 3.
- the blades are blocked and stop rotating freely around their axis, so that the blades are buried in the ground and immobilize the boat.
- the force exerted by the spring 26 decreases suddenly leaving a freedom of movement to the sleeve 24 so that if the tension in the chain 18 decreases while remaining above the threshold value, the lever 34 and the link 32 cease to be aligned and have a certain freedom of movement relative to each other without the engagement of the bolt axis 20 in axis 13 blades stop.
- the movements of the line and the anchor during the duration of the mooring in the event of swell or wind do not disturb the blocking of the anchor.
- the anchor is then raised with the main blades 14 directed towards the bottom as shown in FIG. 4, without these having torn off the flora.
- the chain 18 is then tensioned during the ascent and the latch axis 20 then undergoes a significant pressure force from the spring 26 then compressed to the maximum.
- the latch axis 20 is no longer in front of the opening 50 and then presses on the axis 13 without there being any effect on the blade blocking system.
- the fact that the unlocking blocking mechanism is inside a hollow tube also has an advantage. In fact, thanks to this fairing, the algae cannot get caught in the mechanism, which remains clean.
- the anchor does not carry algae from one site to another, thus preventing any spread of algae such as the Caulerpa Taxifolia algae, which is harmful to the balance of the underwater flora of the Mediterranean coasts.
