FILE MOORING BUMPER Filed April 22, 1968 United States Patent 3,486,342 PILE MOORING BUMPER Stanleigh W. Aks, 3660 Ocean Ave., Seaford Harbor, N.Y. 11783 Filed Apr. 22, 1968, Ser. No. 723,092 Int. Cl. E02b 3/20; E0211 27/12 US. Cl. 61-46 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A mooring bumper device having a floatable base floating on the water surface and loosely surrounding a mooring pile for up and down movement thereon under the action of tide and wind. The bumper device has an axial opening through which the mooring pile extends and the upper terminal end of the bumper device is flat and horizontal. A metal hitch ring provided with a plurality of eyes to one or more of which a boat mooring line is attached is freely seated on the flat upper end of the bumper device in surrounding relation to the mooring pile providing relative rotation between the bumper device and the hitch ring. The eyes on the hitch ring lie inwardly of the peripheral edge of the flat upper end of the bumper device.
This invention relates to a mooring bumper device and has for its primary object the provision of a bumper element mounted on a boat mooring pile for up and down movement thereon and floating on the surface of the Water.
Another object of this invention is to provide a hitch ring equipped with a plurality of eyes for free seating on the upper end of the bumper element and between which there is relative rotation, one or more of the eyes securing a mooring line of a boat.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a mooring bumper defining as a single unit a floatable base, an upstanding column and a collar at the top of the column on which is freely seated the hitch ring, and a padded sheath surrounding the column.
A further object of this invention is to form the mooring bumper as a cylindrical member.
A still further object of this invention is to form the mooring bumper as a tapered member with its larger diameter end lowermost, and including reinforcing means embedded therein.
Another object of this invention is to provide a mooring bumper having a base, a collar and a plurality of spaced rods interconnecting the base and collar.
Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds.
To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, my invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings, attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are illustrative only, and that change may be made in the specific construction illustrated and described within the scope of the appended claims.
FIGURE 1 is a perspective View of one form of mooring bumper device with coacting hitch ring.
FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of a modified form of mooring bumper device with coacting hitch ring.
FIGURE 3 is an elevational view of three spaced mooring piles with the mooring bumper devices mounted thereon and showing mooring lines securing a boat docked between two mooring piles with the mooring lines attached to opposed hitch rings.
FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of another type of mooring bumper device.
FIGURE 5 is an exploded view showing a still further modified form of mooring bumper device with coacting hitch ring.
Referring in detail to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates one form of pile mooring bumper 10 having a cylindrical base 12, a supporting column 14 and a bumper collar 16 integrally or otherwise secured together and with at least the base 12 formed of a floatable material such as wood, foam plastic or other suitable material. The pile mooring bumper 10 is provided with a substantially cylindrical axial opening (not shown) from end to end of a diameter such as to loosely fit over a pile 18 for up and down movement thereon with the base 12 floating on the surface of the water and rising and falling therewith due to tides, etc., as seen in FIG. 3. The supporting column 14 is of a less outside diameter than base 12 and bumper collar 16, and is surrounded by a padded canvas bumper sheath 20, the opposed ends of which are secured by a cord 22 as seen in FIG. 1. The canvas sheath 20 may be replaced by a rubber backed fabric or other type of high impact absorbing material.
With the mooring bumpers 10 positioned on piles 18a- 18b, see FIG. 3, which piles are spaced apart to provide a slip between which a boat 22 is to be moored, there is provided on top of each bumper collar 16, a metal hitch ring 24 having at least four diametrically opposed eyes 26 at intervals. The hitch rings 24 loosely surround the piles associated therewith so as to freely 'turn on the top surface of the bumper collar 16. It is to be noted that the eyes 26 on the hitch ring 24 lie inwardly of the outside diameter of the bumper collar 16 as clearly seen in FIG. 1.
The boat 22' is moored in its slip by the ropes 28, 30 each respectively secured on passing through an eye 26 of an adjacent hitch ring. Since the mooring bumpers 10 float on the water, the eifects of tide on the adjustment of the mooring lines 28, 30 is eliminated. Boat 22', tide and mooring bumpers 10 rise and fall together. The hitch rings 24 are free to rotate for the reason that should a boat in docking between piles 18 and 18a first strike mooring bumper 10 on pile 18a, the mooring bumper would be free to rotate permitting the entering boat to roll damage free into its berth. At the same time the relative rotation between the mooring bumper 10 (on pile 18a) and its supporting hitch ring 24 would not disturb the connection of the mooring line 28 thereto. Once docked the mooring bumpers 10 will prevent damage to the hull and finish of the boat due to wave or wind-action causing the hull to repeatedly come in contact with said mooring bumpers on the mooring piles.
FIG. 2 illustrates a modified form of mooring bumper 35 for applications on a mooring pile where carrying the hitch ring 24 is mainly required and protecting the hull from contacting the mooring pile is not important. In this constructional form the floating base 36 and bumper collar 37 are inerconnected by at least three circumferentially spaced rods 38 that are preferably provided with a suitable plastic covering 40. Both the collar 37 and base 36 are provided with axial openings such as 41 in base 36 to loosely receive therein a mooring pile. The metal hitch ring 24 with eyes freely sits on the top of the collar 37 so as to provide for relative rotation therebetween. As with the construction in FIG. 1, the eyes 26 of hitch ring 24 lie inwardly of the outside diameter of collar 37.
FIG. 4 illustrates a further modified form where the mooring bumper is a thick walled cylinder 45 formed of rubber, plastic or other suitable material that floats on water provided with an axial opening 46 through which the moving pile is to extend the bumper 45 loosely surrounding the pile so as to freely move up or down thereon. Freely seated on the top surface 47 of the bumper 45 is a metal hitch ring 24 provided with eyes 26, the
ends of which lie inwardly of the outside cylindrical surface of the bumper 45.
FIG. 5 is yet another modification of mooring bumper similar to that of FIG. 4 wherein the mooring bumper 50 is shown to be upwardly tapered, the wider diameter lower end providing a larger surface area to provide more flotation at the bottom where it is needed. The bumper 50 is provided with an axial opening 52 of a diameter such that the bumper 50 will loosely surround a mooring pile to insure unrestricted up and down movement. The mooring bumper 50 is formed of a suitable fioatable material such as rubber, foam plastic, etc., and may be reinforced by an internal wire mesh reinforcement 54.
In each of the forms of mooring bumpers described above the inside diameter of the metal hitch ring 24 (which may be of steel, bronze or other type of alloy all preferably non-corrosive) corresponds to the diameter of the axial opening in the bumper so that there is never any likelihood of the hitch ring slipping or falling into the axial opening.
It is also to be understood that the mooring bumpers may be made of any desired height and size to accommodate different sizes of mooring piles but also different shapes and sizes of boats.
While certain novel features of my invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
