A buoy hook is essentially an aid to both sailing and motor boating. It is used to capture a buoy at the landing stage to secure the outboard end of the boat, with the beach end usually attached to the dock.

20 • · • ·

When landing on a buoy, the most important feature is a wide enough sink to catch the buoy loop and a locking latch to prevent it from loosening. Open hook • m • * ·: Easily detaches before the lashing strap is tightened. These features are IM * f ·,. The present invention has been developed to be as effective as possible, but they are not new in themselves. The problem with known types of buoy hooks of this type is the removal of the · · · buoy from the buoy loop. In order to get rid of a buoy loop in a regular buoy, the pull between the buoy and the loop must be reversed, which may be difficult due to wind pressure or other draft * *: ··· caused by the boat.

30 ···. ·! : It is an object of the invention to provide a buoy hook that solves this problem, i.e., the buoy hook can be easily detached from the buoy loop, while the mechanism remains simple, lightweight and structurally strong.

This object is achieved by the invention on the basis of the features set forth in the appended claims 1 to 5. The invention solves the above problem in such a way that even under difficult conditions the buoy hook can be pushed out of the buoy's loop (or loop out of the buoy's throat).

In the following, an embodiment of the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which

Figure 1 is a side view of a buoy hook according to the invention,

Figure 2 shows the same on a slightly larger scale, with the stem 15 cut and shortened,

Fig. 3 shows the same as Fig. 2, but in a second operating position for the buoy, in which the drain of the buoy is pushed out of the buoy catch, and Fig. 4 is a larger detail of Fig. 2 to illustrate the structure and function of the locking latch.

The lashing rope 1 is secured by a lashing loop 2 to the hook 4 which forms • · ·: ·. provides a drain 5 to which the buoy loop can be attached. Another draw line; ** ·. 25 the fastening or guiding loop 3 is attached to the fixed handle part 8a. The hook 4 forming the throat 5 is attached to one end of the elongated shaft 6. At the opposite end of the shaft there is a drive handle 8 which engages the inside of the tubular shaft 6 with a sliding drive member 9. The drive member may be a rod, tube, wire rope, string or combinations thereof. At the other end of the traction member 9, a push lever 10 is located in the throat 30, which in the operating position of Fig. 2 at the bottom of the throat 5 is moved to the mouth of the throat 5 in a working position. From the operating handle 8, when pulled, the push lever 10 thus extends the buoy loop (not shown) out of the throat. At the same time, the locking latch 7, also associated with the pull member 9, pivots into the unlocking position of the latch 5 inside the head (Fig. 3).

5 In the position of Figure 2, the locking latch 7 closes the mouth 5 of the mouth to prevent the buoyant loop from being accidentally detached. The following is a more detailed description of the triggering mechanism for turning the locking latch 7 to its unlocked position. It includes an operating handle 8 at an opposite end to the throat 5, which in the illustrated case is surrounded by a fixed handle portion 10 8a attached to the end of the shaft 6 which allows the handle 8 to move away from the handle 6 by . The spring 11 holds the drive member 9 and the operating handle 8 in a position where the push lever 10 is at the bottom of the throat 5. The other end of the spring 11 rests against the stop 12 attached to the arm 6. The drive member 9 has a pit-15 conical slot 12a that allows the drive member 9 to reciprocate with respect to the stop 12. The other end of the spring 11 rests against the second stop 13 secured to the drive member 9. The stop 13 can move in the slot 14 a limited distance against the force of the spring 11 in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 6. Locking latch 7 has a pivot shaft 15, the tensile member 9. The link axle 15 adjacent to the 20 regions pawl 7 collides with the arm 6 of the head, which forces the pawl • · turn when the drive element 9 is pulled by the operating handle 8 (in figure 2 the direction of arrow • ♦ ::: A direction). Finally, the locking latch 7 is substantially entirely within the end of the tube arm 6 · · · 1 ·, · 1 and the pushing lever 10 has moved throughout the pharynx to the pharyngeal opening, while pushing the pharynx out of the buoyant loop.
