Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas, puede observarse como las guías de amarre (1) a las que está destinada la invención presentan una configuración sección ovalada, de rama horizontal ligeramente mas larga que su rama vertical, sección que es progresivamente decreciente hasta la zona intermedia de la guía, para pasar de forma simétrica a ser progresivamente creciente, definiendo un perfil redondeado que evite las rozaduras de las amarras.In view of the figures outlined, you can be observed as the mooring guides (1) to which the invention feature an oval, branch section configuration horizontal slightly longer than its vertical branch, section that is progressively decreasing to the intermediate zone of the guide, to symmetrically become progressively growing, defining a rounded profile that prevents chafing of the moorings.

Pues bien, a partir de esta estructura, el dispositivo de la invención centra sus características en el hecho de que está compuesto a partir de una tapa (2), de configuración ovalada, sobre una de cuyas caras se establece un núcleo de caucho semi-duro (3), de considerable espesor, obtenido mediante un molde que copia la figura exacta de la propia guía (1), estando ambos elementos afectados por un orificio central por el que es pasante una trinca, formada por un eje (4), de acero inoxidable, rematado por uno de sus extremos en un tope (5), igualmente de acero inoxidable, de configuración prismático-trapezoidal, de longitud suficiente como para poder acceder a través de la guía en disposición horizontal, es decir ligeramente menor que la rama horizontal del ovalo que define la guía, pero mayor que la rama vertical, de manera que, tal y como se puede observar en las figuras, una vez insertado dicho tope (5) en disposición horizontal y girado 90º hasta alcanzar una disposición vertical, éste impide la extracción accidental del dispositivo.Well, from this structure, the device of the invention focuses its characteristics on the fact of which it is composed from a cover (2), of configuration oval, on one of whose faces a rubber core is established semi-hard (3), of considerable thickness, obtained by a mold that copies the exact figure of the guide itself (1), both elements being affected by a central hole through which a trench is formed, formed by a shaft (4), made of stainless steel, topped by one of its ends in a stop (5), also of stainless steel, configuration prismatic-trapezoidal, of sufficient length as to be able to access through the guide in horizontal layout, it is say slightly smaller than the horizontal branch of the oval that defines the guide, but larger than the vertical branch, so that, just as it can be seen in the figures, once inserted said stop (5) in horizontal arrangement and rotated 90º until reaching a vertical arrangement, this prevents accidental removal of the device.

Para ello, el eje (4) se remata por su extremo opuesto en un sector roscado (6), en el que rosca una palomilla (7) como elemento de retención del dispositivo, palomilla de dimensiones adecuadas para permitir el sellado manual de la guía sin necesidad de equipos hidráulicos.To do this, the shaft (4) is topped by its end opposite in a threaded sector (6), in which it threads a knob (7) as a device retainer, moth suitable dimensions to allow manual sealing of the guide No need for hydraulic equipment.

Para conseguir un mejor ajuste entre las diferentes piezas que participan en la invención, se ha previsto que el eje (4) en el sector comprendido entre el tope (5) y el núcleo de caucho (3) incorpore axialmente un muelle (8) de compresión, asistido por la correspondiente anilla (9).To get a better fit between different parts involved in the invention, it is planned that the axis (4) in the sector between the stop (5) and the rubber core (3) axially incorporates a spring (8) of compression, assisted by the corresponding ring (9).

Por último, y como ya se ha comentado con anterioridad, el eje se rematará por el extremo de implantación del dispositivo en una mueca (10) indicadora de la posición del tope (5), para facilitar las maniobras de acoplamiento/desacoplamiento del dispositivo en la correspondiente guía.Finally, and as already mentioned with previously, the axis will be finished off by the end of the device in a grimace (10) indicating the position of the stop (5), to facilitate coupling / undocking maneuvers of the device in the corresponding guide.
