R. R. wHrrlNG MOORING LINE Filed April 12, 1924 /L/ ROBERT R. WHlT//va Arm/mers ROBERT R.
To all whom t may Be it known that ir rr I-IITING, 0F DARIEIN, CONNECTICUT.

Application filed April 12, 1924. Serial No. 706,149.
concern: l, Roiinn'i R. lVHi'rING,
acitizen of the United States, and a resident of Darien, in
the county of Fairfield and vState of Connecticut, have invented a new and improved Mooring Line, of which the 'following is a scription.
full, clear, and exact de- The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in strain-relieving devices, and it pertains more particularly to| a device of this character especially adapted for attachment to mooring lt is one of the lines of vessels. primary objects of the invention to provide a strain-'taking device adapted to be interposed between the ends ot a mooring line for the purpose of relieving the line et strain occasioned by the movement oi a vessel relative to its mooring.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a device of this character which may be attached to mooring lines ot any size,
being detachable with respect to the line.
With the above and other objects in view, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a View in elevation of' a mooring line showing `the Fig. 2 is aidetail device attached thereto view of the device dei tached from the line;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view talren on the line 3-3 of Fig. l; Fig. l is a detail plan view of a sliglitly modified form of the invention;
Fig. 5 is a detail the line 5-5 ot' Fig.
Referring more s ings, the reference the mooring sectional view taken on pecifically to tlie dran'- character A designates line, the strain-relieving device comprising two clamps 5 adapted to be secured, by means of bolts 6 or the like, around the mooring line A. comprise a split ban The clamp members 5 d as more clearly shown in Fig. 3. These clamps are connected together by means of a spring element 8. This spring element may be secured to the clamps 5 in any desired manner, such, 'for example, as by bolts 9 or the like, or, as shown i Fig. t, tlie spring maybe a coil spring secured by bolts designated by the reference numeral 10.
ln securing the device in place, a bight B is made in the mooring line and the clamps 5 are engaged with the mooring line on opposite sides of such biglit B. If, now, the mooring line A is subjected to strain, the spring or resilient member interposed between the clamps will take the strain, the blight B of tlie mooring line A allowing sufficient play in the mooring line to permit of this action.
By providing a device: of this character between the ends of a mooring line, it` is obvious that as the ship pitches or rolls at its mooring, the strain on the mooring line A will be relieved and transferred to the resilient member of the strain-relieving device and prevent a rupture of the mooring line.
What is claimed is:
1. A strain-relieving device in lines, comprising in combination with a mooring line, a plurality of clamps adapted tobe secured to the mooring line, a bight formed in the mooring line between said clamps, and' means connecting said clamps, said means consisting of a resilient element.A
2. A strain-relieving device for lines, comprising in combination with a mooring line, a plurality of clamps adapted to be secured to the mooring line, a bight formed in the mooring line between said clamps, and
means connecting said clamps, said means ROBERT R. WHITING.
