Abstract

1441464 Ship loading ramp MACGREGOR-COMARAIN SA 28 June 1973 [28 June 1972 29 May 1973] 30829/73 Heading B8E [Also in Division B7] A two or more section loading ramp 4a-4c of a ferry or like ship 1 is pivoted thereto at 6 and has its parts pivoted together at 5, 5<SP>1</SP>. It is raised from the extended operative position, Fig. 1, to close the cargo port 30 by cables 8 passing over pulleys 12 on king posts 13, 13<SP>1</SP> to winches 10, 10<SP>1</SP>. Handling cables 15, 151 pass from fixed points 14a, 14b on the innermost section 4a over pulleys 14, 14<SP>1</SP> and auxiliary pulleys 19, 19<SP>1</SP> on outriggers 23, 231 of the intermediate section 4b to fixed points 18, 18<SP>1</SP> on the king posts 13, 13<SP>1</SP> with an interposed tightening device 17, 17<SP>1</SP>. In the raised position the cables 15, 15<SP>1</SP> allow the sections 4b, 4c to fold down behind the section 4a, Fig. 3, in which position the ramp is held, by a locking arrangement 42, against buffers 41. To lower the ramp movement is initiated by a ram 24, Fig. 3, and continues under gravity the sections 4a-4c moving together until the cables 15, 15<SP>1</SP> tighten to straighten the sections before they contact the quay. Other forms of attachment for the cables 15, 151 on the ship are described including counterweights, hydraulic or spring actuated rams and constant tension winches. In a modified construction, Fig. 17, a counterweight 31 is employed which moves from A1-A2 as the folded ramp moves initially from B1-B2 and then engages a stop 34 so that the cables 15, 15<SP>1</SP> are tensioned to extend the section 4b until a position B3 or B4 is reached according to the relative height of the quay 2 in which position the weight 31 in position A3 or A4 counterweight the outer sections. Detectors 21, 22, Fig. 15 may be provided to detect alteration in the inclination of the sections 4a, 4b and so to operate the winches 10, 10<SP>1</SP> as to restore the position and to prevent excessive pressure on the quay 2. Where a third ramp section 4c is provided pivoted at 5<SP>1</SP> to the intermediate section 4b its extension may be effected and controlled by a ram 26, Fig. 3, or the handling cables may be extended from a pulley 25, Fig. 15, on the intermediate section 4b to be fixed to the outer section 4c at 20 so that tightening of the cables 15, 15<SP>1</SP> also extends the outer section 4c.
