Abstract

The invention concerns a portable device (1, 2, 3) for handling a rope, comprising a handle (20) and a curved piece (11, 21) fixed to one end of the handle. The proximal part (12, 22) of the curved piece (11, 21) forms a substantially spiral loop (13, 23) and the distal part (14, 24) of the curved piece extends substantially beyond the loop (13, 23) to form a hook (15, 25). The invention is useful for mooring boats.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de crocheter et de longer un cordage sans risque de chute du cordage. The present invention relates to a device for hooking and following a rope without risk of falling rope.

Cette opération est traditionnellement effectuée à l'aide d'une gaffe dans le domaine maritime. Etant formée d'un simple crochet, la gaffe ne permet pas d'éliminer le risque de perte du cordage. This operation is traditionally carried out using a gaffe in the maritime field. Being made of a simple hook, the hook does not eliminate the risk of losing the rope.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient sans occulter les avantages de la gaffe traditionnelle. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback without overshadowing the advantages of the traditional blunder.

Ce dispositif constitué d'une spire est terminé par une partie recourbée faisant office de crochet (FIG. 1). L'écartement et le diamètre de la spire est fonction du diamètre du cordage à longer. L'extrémité recourbée permet de crocheter puis de guider le cordage dans la spire ou simplement de crocheter un objet. This device consisting of a turn is terminated by a curved part serving as a hook (FIG. 1). The spacing and the diameter of the turn is a function of the diameter of the rope to be lengthened. The curved end allows you to crochet and then guide the rope in the turn or simply to crochet an object.

Selon une variante illustrée, la spire peut-être remplacée par une demispire (FIG.2). According to an illustrated variant, the turn can be replaced by a half turn (FIG.2).

Pour longer un cordage, il suffit de le saisir à l'aide du crochet, de faire pivoter le dispositif d'un quart de tour; le crochet guide alors le cordage à l'intérieur de la spire. Le recouvrement dû à la spire interdit alors la perte du cordage. To go along a line, just grab it with the hook, rotate the device a quarter turn; the hook then guides the rope inside the whorl. The overlap due to the turn therefore prevents the loss of the rope.

Selon une variante non illustrée, le profil de la spire et le profil du crochet peuvent être renforcés pour assurer une plus grande résistance à la traction en fonction des matériaux de fabrication utilisés. According to a variant not illustrated, the profile of the turn and the profile of the hook can be reinforced to ensure greater tensile strength depending on the manufacturing materials used.

Dans un cas plus spécifique, non illustré, le dispositif peut être monté sur un manche avec un système à largage rapide et équipé à son extrémité libre d'une patte percée pour fixer un cordage. Le dispositif ainsi modifié pouvant être accroché à un anneau de bouée flottante (prise de coffre en terme maritime). In a more specific case, not illustrated, the device can be mounted on a handle with a quick release system and equipped at its free end with a pierced tab to fix a rope. The device thus modified can be hung on a floating buoy ring (trunk socket in maritime terms).

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à l'amarrage de bateaux. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for mooring boats.

Claims

1) Device for hooking and following a rope characterized by its spiroidal or half-spiral shape (FIG. Let FIG.2) which prohibits by the recovery due to the turn any loss of the rope.

2) Device according to claim 1 characterized by a curved end serving both as a hook and as a guide for inserting the rope into the turn.

3) Device according to claim 1 characterized by the diameter and the spacing of the turn which is a function of the diameter of the rope used.

However, the diameter of the coil will measure a hundred and fifty millimeters maximum and will rather be between thirty and one hundred millimeters.

4) Device according to claims 1 and 2 characterized by the profile of the turn and the hook profile reinforced for better tensile strength depending on the manufacturing materials used.

5) Device according to claims 1 and 2 characterized by the possible addition to its free end, of a pierced tab to fix a rope; the device thus modified can be hung on a floating buoy ring (trunk socket in maritime terms).
