Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns a removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within chain locker of boats or the like, provided with movable covers and flexible or inflatable cushions.
- In particular, this invention relates to a system of retention or holding in position of the mass of the chain, with which the anchor is connected, inside the collection locker, whether existing or built on purpose, integrated into the boat.
- The practical need to have the system in question arises in case of fast boats or otherwise subjected to strong pitch accelerations.
- Such accelerations, amplified in the leading part of the boat, generate some shakings of the sailor-like or nautical equipment, mainly chains and anchors, which must be prevented with proper retention systems.
- Currently it is common practice to equip boats with chain tighteners in order to lock the anchor and piece of chain on deck in position.
- Little attention has been paid instead to the retention of chains below the deck bridge which however represents source of inconveniences in case of strong accelerations, such as those ones attemptable in small boats sailing at high speed: the fact is that the chain twines itself with potential consequent impossibility, for example, to weigh anchor.
- At present invention applicant's knowledge the only example of attempt to solve such an inconvenient is described in the international patent application having publication number
W02006/013436 A1 , where the chain is wrapped circumferentially by a lot. - In applicant's opinion, this constructive solution is complex, not easily removable, it cannot effectively prevent the movement of the chain and, moreover, is more difficult to apply on existing boats and more difficult to release in emergency situations.
- The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art listed above.
- In particular, main purpose of the invention is to provide a removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within boats chain locker which can be used on yet existing and of various shapes chain lockers of anchors.
- It is a second purpose of the present invention to develop a removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within boats chain locker which effectively holds the mass of the chain wrapped in the relative locker as it is weighed in position.
- It is another purpose of the present invention to devise a removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within boats chain locker which allows an effective recovery of the pressure when the mass of the chain is stabilized.
- It is a last but not least purpose of the invention to assure a quick disassembly and access to the chain locker avoiding any objection on safety issues by the control bodies such as the Registers of Shipping.
- Said purposes are achieved through a removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within boats chain locker as the appended
claim 1, to which they refer for the sake of brevity. - Other features of detail of the removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within boats chain locker of the invention are set forth in the corresponding dependent claims.
- Advantageously, the removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within boats chain locker of the invention, once dismantled, leaves unchanged the chain locker itself as far as access and inspection are concerned.
- Said purposes and advantages will be better known from the description that follows related to a preferred embodiment of the removable system of the invention, given by illustrative and indicative, but not limiting, way in relation to the attached drawings where:
-
figure 1 is a simplified perspective view of the removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within boats chain locker of the invention in application conditions; -
figure 2 is a perspective view of a constructive particular of the removable system of pressing of the anchor chain offigure 1 . - The removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within boats chain locker, object of the present invention, preferably consists of:
- a
support plate 6 shaped according to the shapes of the edge of thechain locker 1 and suitable to be anchored to the latter; it is integral with theguide tubes 7; - two movable and interconnected half-covers 4 with, pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical or mechanical driving which acts on
removable guide rods 3 moving thus the two half-covers 4; - a
guide tube 5, suitable to convey the chain, which can be divided into two halves. - The
guide rods 3 define respective longitudinal directions along which the moving upwardly and downwardly of the movable half-covers 4 takes place, in accordance with what the two-way arrows offigure 1 illustrate. - At rest (chain loaded), the system assumes the configuration of the whole table attached in
figure 1 , in which theplate 4b of the movable half-covers 4 is almost coplanar with theplate 6 of connection with thechain locker 1. - In extra-race upwardly the movable half-covers 4 can come out of the top of the
chain locker 1, provided the limit of space on deck of the top of theguide tube 5. - Each half of the
guide tube 5 which conveys the chain is fixed to the corresponding movable half-cover 4 by means of threaded wing nuts or quick release inserts, removable without any tool. - At anchor weighed and chain stowed in the
chain locker 1, the external driving determines the slide downwardly, along respective longitudinal directions, of the guide rods orbars 3 and with them of the movable half-covers 4, integral with the latter by means ofremovable couplings 8. - The cushion made of elastic or inflatable
pneumatic material 4d elastically presses against the chain, holding it in place and preventing shakings and kinks of the same. - In this regard, it is noted that in case of pneumatic driving of the moving rods or
bars 3, the system can also be kept under pressure by adding further pressure recovery capacity to that one intrinsic of the elastic orinflatable cushion 4d. - As
figure 2 shows, the two movable half-covers 4 are interconnected throughremovable bolt coupling 4c and driven further onto groove of theplate 6 from theback 4e of the half-covers 4 themselves. - In case of necessity and emergency, the system of the invention can be fully and quickly disassembled as follows:
- in block by unlocking the clamps or
couplings 8, whether a split pin, ring nut or quick release; - by disassembling only the
guide tube 5 which conveys the chain, made in two halves joined by quick release pins; - by unlocking for a half the
interconnection bolts 4c of the movable half-covers 4, removing the joining connection of the two halves of theguide tube 5 and releasing the half-covers 4 through the blocks or clamps orcouplings 8. Theslot 4f, clearly visible infigure 2 , eases the grip for the manual moving. - By building the removable system of pressing of the invention by:
- carrying out the guide bushings inside the
guide tubes 7 made of plastic or in any case insulating material; - interposing an insulating gasket between the
chain locker 1 and thesupport plate 6; - packing with plastic material (having also anti-wear function) the
guide tube 5, - it is considered that the system itself is insulated from the galvanic point of view from the rest of the boat and, therefore, is suitable to be carried out in many different building materials. The drawing tables attached refer, by illustrative and not limiting way, to a sample of the removable system of pressing of the invention to be produced by light aluminium carpentry.
- Furthermore, the removable system of pressing of the invention can be construed with guide semi-tubes connected through linear slides with the
support plate 6 and operated in opening. - The slides will be arranged on the
plate 6 adjacent and parallel to thebolts 4c of interconnection of the movable half-covers 4 and they will allow an inspection of the chain inside thetube 5 by means of controlled opening driving, without disassembling the same. - By virtue of the foregoing, it is understood, therefore, that the removable system of pressing of the anchor chain within boats chain locker, object of the invention, achieves the purposes and reaches the advantages previously mentioned.
- In terms of execution, changes could be made to the removable system of pressing of the anchor chain of the invention consisting, for example, in elastically yielding means different from those ones described above with reference to the attached drawings.
- It is, finally, clear that many other variations can be made to the removable system of pressing of the anchor chain in question, without for this reason going out of the novelty principles inherent to the inventive idea, as it is clear that, in the practical implementation of the invention, materials, shapes and sizes of the illustrated details can be any, depending on the needs, and may be replaced with others technically equivalent.
- Where the construction features and techniques mentioned in the subsequent claims are followed by signs or reference numbers, these reference signs have been introduced with the sole objective of increasing the intelligibility of the claims themselves and, as a consequence, they have no limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified, purely by way of example, by such reference signs.
