Definitions

  • the invention is about the anchors which provides the anchorage on the sea surface of the vessels like ship, ferryboat, boat etc., or means or elements like rafts, pontoon that are used together seasonally with the vessels.
  • the invention especially different from the anchors in the metal hook form of the previous technique, is about the new anchor, which takes up a small amount of space on the vessel and is light, however if thrown into the sea where it will be desired to anchor, it quickly comes in volumetric expansion through interacting with the sea water and becomes heavier as it keeps expanding and thus providing the vessel anchoring where it is.
  • the anchors are simple elements that enable the vessels stabilized on a desired point on the sea surface or area by anchoring on the sea bottom. Depending on the vessel or on the depth they are used, they are produced of various metal types in different weights and forms.
  • the anchors generally consist of shank, flukes, crown and arms as they are called in the maritime terminology.
  • boat - anchor (iron) connection which entirely or partially consist of metal chain, ropes are also used on demand.
  • the generally cylindrical designed section where the iron rope or chain gets through and the anchor will be kept is called the iron hawse.
  • the anchor While the anchor is kept at its place on the bow of the ship instead of the aforementioned hawse on the medium seized vessels, on the small seized vessels, the anchor without any mechanism, will be dropped and weighed manually.
  • the weight of the iron equipment and the strength of the iron to stay stabilized at the bottom of the sea play role.
  • GB2448909 is another example for the metal anchors that can be given. Because the anchor with a kind of metal plough has a blade-form structure, it is capable to get stabilized more easily to the sea bottom.
  • Nr. GB2165198 is one of the oldest examples of these types. It has been positioned to the wide opening of the anchor by means of the leech, which is inflatable by a valve. A certain amount of weight has been attached under the anchor, in order both to prevent the rotation of the anchor and stabilize the vessel by making it available to swim just below the water surface.
  • the anchor which consists of an upper parachute part and a lower bottom part contains a net part that enables water to be filled in through these two sides at the middle part of the anchor. Through a pontoon from the lower bottom part, the location of the anchor can be easily determined by the people in the vessel.
  • the purpose of the invention is to produce an anchor to stabilize the vessels safely and quickly especially in the open sea, to drop anchor in maritime terminology and to weigh anchor.
  • Another purpose of this invention is; to produce such an anchor; if thrown to the sea, by quickly coming in volumetric expansion through interacting with the sea water and becoming heavier as keeping expanding and thus providing the vessel stabilizing where desired, and I when desired, getting ready to sail by removing the weight that was generated inside and collecting it quickly.
  • One other purpose of the invention is to structure an easy to use anchor by using the feature of the polymer material which gets heavier through collecting the water in itself, after it interacts with water, placed in a flexible bag which increases in volume as the material in it expands.
  • the invention is an anchor (10) especially to solve the problems being faced in the current technique defined as anchoring or stabilizing in the open sea and could not completely be solved by the various metal anchors or anchors in parachute form that were improved until today.
  • the anchor (10) contains a structurally expandable reservoir (11), a material which absorbs water inside the mentioned reservoir (11), a rope and/or chain (14), an anchoring ring (15) where the mentioned rope is connected to the anchor (10), an evacuation mechanism (13) formed on the reservoir (11), in order to remove said mass (12.1) out of said reservoir (11).
  • the expandable reservoir (11) has a structure which can expand in volume up to 100 - 300 times of its present condition and at the same time keeps the material inside while it allows the water passage from outside.
  • a water absorbing material (12) is located which turns into a heavier mass while expanding by absorbing the water.
  • the aforementioned material is a super absorbent polymer on the anchor (10).
  • the super absorbent material is sodium polyacrylate super absorbent material that is preferably used in different areas today. It is known as not being harmful to the environment and has an expanding volume feature when contacting water and becoming jelly and heavy when it absorbs the water.
  • the evacuation mechanism (13) When it is desired to weigh anchor (10) and start to move again, the evacuation mechanism (13) is used.
  • the purpose of the evacuation mechanism (13) is to take the mass (12.1) inside the reservoir (11) to out of the reservoir (11). Therefore the mechanism (13) mentioned is preferably a zip fastener or a fastening element in type of Velcro fastener which is located under the reservoir (11) and can be controlled by a cord which is released to the sea together with the rope (14).
  • the zip fastener will be opened by pulling the mentioned cord and the mass (12.1) leaves the reservoir (1) through the earth gravity effect.
  • the reservoir (1) becoming empty, will totally get light and will easily be pulled up by means of the rope (14) rapidly and will be placed to the section formed for it on the vessel (20).
  • each 1 kg - polymer material (12) in packages can be prepared. In this way it will be possible to bring the anchor (10) ready to be used by locating it practically in the reservoir (11) during anchoring.
