Definitions
- the invention relates to a ship fender.
- Ship fencers are used to protect the hull of a ship attached to a quay wall or a natural rock in collisions against the quay wall or the rock. They are attached to the ship hull and thus act as a buffer between it and the quay wall or the rock. In the same way, they also protect the hull from contact with other ships directly next to the ship.
- Ship fenders of conventional design are filled with air floats, which are usually designed cylindrical or ball-shaped and made of a soft material.
- the invention is based on the problem to provide a Schiffs ⁇ fender that can better protect the hull.
- the ship fender according to the invention does not float on the water surface, it can be lowered to a desired depth at a desired position and fastened to the ship O
- the ship's hull can be protected exclusively by ship fenders according to the invention or by a combination of inventive and conventional windows.
- a preferred ship fender has an internal space which communicates with the outside environment via holes provided on opposite sides of the fender. Outside of the water, the fender is thereby filled with air and thus very easy and easy to handle bar. When lowered into the water, the fender fills with water and drops rapidly to the desired depth. If the fen ⁇ takes on the shape of a flat body, preferably a torus shape, it can lie over a large area protectively flat against the ship hull and is still easy to handle.
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the fender along the y-z plane
- FIG 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a ship attached to a quay wall with a fender fastened to the ship according to the invention.
- the fender 1 of the invention has the shape of a torus or tire which is open on the inner circumference towards the torus opening.
- Its outer wall 2 is made of an elastic material such as a Kautschuk ⁇ mixture or a suitable elastomer, which is sufficiently soft, smooth and abrasion resistant to leave no marks on the ship's wall.
- parts of the outer wall 2 or the entire outer wall are shown 2 also reinforced by a layer 8 harder material, such as a steel reinforcement.
- the fender 1 has an annular interior 3 which is bounded by the outer wall 2, but inwardly towards the torus opening is open.
- the reinforcement 8 of the outer wall 2 causes the fender 1 can not be compressed easily in itself and gives him the appropriate strength for damping shocks.
- the interior space 3 is connected to the external environment via the open torus inner circumference and a plurality of holes 4a-c, 5a-d.
- the holes 4a-c and 5a-d are located on the outer peripheral side of the torus on opposite sides of the torus opening, respectively.
- Eyelets 6a, 6b, 7 on the outer wall 2 the fender can be fixed with lines on the ship.
- the eyelets are preferably rubber-coated steel eyelets, which are fastened to the outer wall 2 with self-locking steel nuts and screws.
- the fender When the fender is let into the water on lines attached to the upper loops 6a, 6b when immersed, it first fills with water through the lower holes 5a to 5d and then through the open inside of the torus, while the air is expelled from the interior 3 through the Torusinnenseite and the upper holes 4a to 4c at the upper eyelets 6a, 6b escapes. Finally, the interior space 3 is completely filled with water and the fact that the total density of the fender material is greater than that of water causes it to rapidly sink to the desired depth. There he is held by the attached to the eyelets 6a, 6b, 7 lines. While the fastening on the two upper eyelets ⁇ a, 6b secure the fender 1 against twisting, the attachment to the lower eyelet 7 serves to stabilize the fender 1 against lateral movements and as a safety fastening.
- FIG. 3 shows how a fender 1 according to the invention protects the hull 10 of a ship from impacts against rocks. Protruding projections 11 on a quay wall 9 below the waterline.
- the toroidal shape of the fender 1 according to FIG. 1 has the advantage that the fender 1 is less susceptible to lateral movement of the water through the torus opening in its center.
- a toroidal fender with oval or polygonal e.g. octagonal, basic shape (cross section in x-y plane in Fig. 1) and nikför ⁇ shaped, oval or polygonal cross-sections along the y-z plane and completely different shapes, such as. an elongated shape, a cylinder or an anchor shape.
- a shape with a flat outer contour is preferred because it can lie flat protective on the hull.
