Description

  The present invention relates to a protective cover for a mooring rope such as a ship, and more particularly, at a contact site of a mooring rope and a mooring fixing device used for mooring a ship or the like at a wharf or offshore sea berth. Or, the present invention relates to a protective cover for a mooring rope such as a ship for protecting the mooring rope from damage caused by friction between the mooring rope and a contact portion of other equipment.

  Conventionally, when a ship or the like needs to be moored, a mooring rope fed from the ship or the like is stretched on the mooring fixing device so as not to be washed away by a sea current or wind. However, because ships move due to the influence of ocean currents, winds, waves, tides, etc., and the mooring rope repeats tension or relaxation due to the movement, the contact between the mooring rope and the anchoring device for mooring Wear occurs at the site or at the site of contact between the mooring rope and other equipment. Usually, the mooring rope is twisted with fiber material, but the mooring fixing equipment is made of metal or concrete, so the mooring rope will wear out and will eventually break and become unusable. Sometimes. Therefore, in particular, in the case of mooring ropes that are manufactured while adjusting the length from a single long rope on the site, all of them become unusable simply by being damaged due to wear over time. Because it must be replaced frequently.

  For this reason, special processing for wear has been performed in advance, but such processing is expensive because it is expensive and the place of protection cannot be freely changed. Further, in order to protect the rope from damage due to such wear, a rope or the like that has become unusable or another flexible member is wound around the contact portion of the anchoring device. However, such a response requires a great deal of labor, and requires skill because it is shifted or detached immediately when an amateur attaches it. There is also the problem of damaging the quay and the aesthetics of the ship.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is easy to install, and is between a mooring rope such as a ship and a contact portion of a mooring fixing device, and between a mooring rope and a contact portion of another device or the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a protective cover that protects the mooring rope from the generated wear, does not deviate from the position attached to the mooring rope, and does not impair the quayside and the aesthetics of the ship.

  A protective cover for a mooring rope for ships according to the present invention includes a rectangular cover body made of a cloth-like member having wear resistance, flexibility and a predetermined thickness, and an inner side surface of the cover body along the longitudinal direction. An attached strip-shaped non-slip mat, a flap that is thinner than the cover body, extended from each of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the cover body, and a strip-shaped non-slip mat attached to the inner surface of the end of each flap; A pair of hook-and-loop fasteners attached on the front and back sides of the cover body.

  The cover body may be formed of a polyester fiber fabric, and it is desirable that the fabric fibers can move while being displaced.

  The cover body may be formed from a polyester nonwoven fabric.

  The non-slip mat can be formed from a vinyl chloride material or a rubber material having a high friction coefficient.

  Moreover, you may make it comprise a cover main body from the one woven fabric which woven polyester fiber loosely.

  The protective cover for the mooring rope of the present invention is easily attached to the mooring rope because it is anchored with a hook-and-loop fastener, and the cover body having wear resistance and flexibility is used as the mooring rope. Since it is wound, the mooring protection rope can be prevented from being worn and damaged by contact with the mooring fixing device or other devices.

  In addition, since the non-slip mat is provided inside the cover main body and the non-slip mat is also provided in the flap, it is possible to effectively prevent the protective cover from being displaced from the mooring rope.

  In addition, since the flaps extend to both ends in the longitudinal direction of the cover body, even if the cover body is thick, it prevents the protective cover from shifting due to the stepped portion colliding with a fixed device or the like. Can do.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a protective cover for a rope for mooring a ship or the like according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, in the figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same element and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.
[Protective cover structure]
FIG. 1 is a front view of a protective cover 10 for a rope for mooring a ship or the like according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the protective cover 10 for the mooring rope for ships and the like according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 is a view of a cross section taken along line 3-3 in FIG. 1 as viewed from the right side, and FIG. 4 is a view of a cross section taken along line 4-4 in FIG. In particular, in FIGS. 3 and 4, the thickness direction is particularly enlarged so that the configuration clearly appears. Moreover, in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the dashed-two dotted line represents the seam.

  The protective cover 10 includes a rectangular cover body 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the cover body 12 is formed by laminating a plurality of cloths woven from fibers such as polyester having wear resistance, flexibility, and a necessary thickness. By using cloths woven from such fibers, it is possible to increase the friction on the surface in contact with the mooring rope by utilizing the displacement between the fibers, and by laminating the cloths, Similarly, the mooring rope can be reliably held using the slip between them. Therefore, each cloth is gently woven so that the fibers can move easily.

  Although the embodiment of FIG. 3 shows a state in which four cloths are laminated, it is not limited to that number. The cover main body 12 has a thickness that varies depending on the diameter of the mooring rope to be protected. Generally, the cover body 12 has a thickness of about 8 to 10 millimeters in a laminated state. Is used.

  The flaps 16 are sewn so as to extend to the longitudinal ends of the protective covers. The flap 16 is made of a strong fabric such as cotton canvas, and is thinner than the cover body 12. The flap may be attached to the cover body 12 by welding or bonding instead of sewing.

In addition, two non-slip mats 14 and 15 each having a belt shape are attached to the protective cover 10. The two non-slip mats 14 are sewn and attached to the inner surface along the longitudinal direction of the protective cover 10 at intervals. The two non-slip mats 15 are sewn to the inner surface of the end portion of the flap 16. These non-slip mats are formed by molding a material having a high friction coefficient, for example, a vinyl chloride material or a rubber material into a mesh shape. The non-slip mat may be attached to the cover body 12 by welding or bonding instead of sewing. Also, the number of each is not limited to two.

  In addition, the protective cover 10 is provided with a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners for fixing to the mooring rope. As shown in the front view of FIG. One hook-and-loop fastener 18 is attached, and as shown in the rear view of FIG. 2, the other hook-and-loop fastener 28 that can be engaged with the fastener 18 on the surface is provided on the right side surface of the cover body 12. It is attached. These hook-and-loop fasteners may be attached to the cover body 12 by sewing, welding, or adhesion.

The hook-and-loop fasteners 18 and 28 can be easily joined by overlapping and pressing each other. For example, Velcro (registered trademark) may be used as the surface fastener.
[Attaching the protective cover]
5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining a method of using the protective cover 10. First, as shown in FIG. 5, the protective cover 10 is laid out with the inner side facing up. The mooring rope 50 is arranged along the longitudinal direction. The portion of the mooring rope 50 placed on the protective cover 10 is a portion that may be worn by contact with a mooring rope fixing device or the like. Next, in this state, the left side of the cover body 12 in FIG. 5 is lifted and wound on the mooring rope 50, and the non-slip mat 14 is brought into contact with the mooring rope 50. At that time, the flaps 16 at both ends are also tightly wound around the mooring rope 50 so that the non-slip mats 15 are brought into contact with the mooring rope 50. In that state, the hook-and-loop fastener 28 (FIG. 2) rides on the mooring rope 50 and faces upward, so that the right side of the cover body 12 is lifted in FIG. 18 are stacked and pressed to join them.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the protective cover 10 is wound around the mooring rope 50 as described above. As shown in the figure, the cover body 12 and the flap 16 of the protective cover 10 are tightly wound around the mooring rope 50. Since the flap 16 is thinner than the cover body 12, the gap between the cover body 12 and the mooring rope 50 is gradually eliminated so that the step between the cover body 12 and the mooring rope 50 gradually disappears. A gently sloping surface is formed. As a result, as described later, even when the mooring rope moves when the mooring rope is wound around the mooring rope fixing device, the step of the cover main body 12 is different from the contact surface with the fixing device. It can be prevented from being caught.
[Use example of protective cover]
FIG. 7 shows a state where the mooring rope 50 around which the protective cover 10 is wound is wound around the fixed device 70 when the ship is anchored at a port, for example. As shown in the figure, the flap 16 portion of the protective cover 10 is in contact with the curved portion of the fixed device 70. In this state, for example, when the mooring rope 50 is pulled to the near side in FIG. 7 and moves a little, then, when the mooring rope 50 is pulled from the back side in the figure and returns slightly in that direction, the mooring rope Along with the movement of 50, the flap 16 also slides on the curved surface portion of the fixed device 70 and moves forward, and conversely moves so as to move backward while sliding on the curved surface portion.

At that time, the flap 16 eliminates the step between the end of the cover body 12 and the surface of the mooring rope 50 and forms a smooth inclined surface. Therefore, when the mooring rope 50 moves backward, The protective cover 10 can smoothly move on the curved surface portion of the fixed device 70. As a result, the end of the cover body 12 collides with the curved surface of the fixed device 70 and the cover body 1
It is possible to prevent the 2 from moving out of position.
[Modification]
In the above-described embodiment, the cover body 12 is formed by laminating a plurality of cloths woven from fibers such as polyester, but instead, a cover body 12 may be laminated. Further, the cover main body 12 may be composed of a single mat having a sufficient thickness woven loosely from fibers such as polyester. In this case, the mooring rope can be reliably held by the fibers being displaced by play between the woven fibers. In addition, since there is a space between the fibers, the surface area of the fibers exposed to the air increases, so that the heat dissipation effect is enhanced and heat due to friction or the like is easily dissipated. On the other hand, a cloth that is tightly woven so that the fibers are dense may be used as the cover body. In this case, the mooring rope is held by other friction means.

  In addition, although the example in which two non-slip mats 14 on the cover main body 12 are fixed in a band shape on the inner side surface of the cover main body 12 is shown, small cut ones may be dispersed and fixed on the inner side surface. Good. Moreover, although the belt-shaped hook-and-loop fasteners 18 and 28 are fixed to the respective sides of the cover main body 12, the hook-and-loop fasteners may not be band-shaped but may be dispersed and attached at predetermined positions.
