FENDER FOR YACHTS AND THE LIKE Filed March 14, 1952 F INVENTOR JOHN F. MANSON BY W ATTORNEY Patented Aug. 3, 1954 UNITED STAT state OFFICE 1 Claim. 1
My invention relates to a fender for yachts and other vessels and it is an object of the same to provide a device of the character stated that shall be highly effective in use while being simple and inexpensive in construction, easily repaired and of a neat appearance.
Referring to the annexed drawings, which are made a part of this application and in which similar characters of reference indicate similar parts:
Fig. 1 is a perspective of the device in the form that is at present preferred,
Fig. 2, a bottom plan,
Fig. 3, a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 4, a section on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
In the drawings, reference character it indicates the base of the fender, which will usually be made of wood, though I do not limit myself to any particular material, except as stated in this specification. The base is rounded at the corners, as shown at H, and the under face is sloped upward at each end, as at [2, for ornament and for convenience in handling the fender.
The under face of the base is protected and strengthened by metallic reinforcements l3 preferably consisting of bars of chrome brass, though other materials may be used that are resistant to corrosion and other injuries. These bars are shown as being of half round cross section, having a flat upper face to lie against board it extending substantially from end to end of the fender. shaped as shown in the drawings, but these and other details may be varied to suit the taste of the trade or for other reasons.
At suitable points in the length of the fender, as adjacent the opposite ends of the same, I mount resilient pads i i, preferably formed of foam rubber which is peculiarly suitable because of its softness and resiliency. They are held in place by means of canvas flaps it that are se cured against movement by strips of wood 5 E entered in cross slots in the base, as illustrated. These strips may be secured to the base in any suitable manner as by nails or screws. Preferably the pads are shaped tetragons, i. e., as bodies whose faces are all parallelograms, said bodies being held by squares of canvas which are I prefer to use three bars arranged and (Cl. 1l4-219) held by cleats, such as fiat strips of wood, all as shown in the drawings, but it will be understood that such details may be varied within the scope of my invention.
It will be understood that in use the fenders of my invention are hung over the side of a vessel between the same and a dock or the like, the resilient pads lying next to the side of the boat and the brass strips protecting the base of the fender against rubbing or other injury. The foam rubber is very yieldable and resilient, and the canvas covers permit the pads to yeld freely so as not to be damaged by blows and collisions.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that many variations may be made in the device herein disclosed, all without departing from the scope of my invention; and therefore I do not limit myself to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification, but only as indicated in the appended claim.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is:
A ships fender comprising a fiat base having pairs of rectangular slots extending transversely of its upper face, a pad of resilient material resting on said face between each pair of slots, a strip of sheet material fitting about said pad and extending into said slots, and cleats of rigid material rectangular in section fitting into said slots and clamping the sheet material in said slots for holding the pads in place.
