Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fender which consists of a pair of supports and a bufier and is applicable to a quay-wall or a dock, said fender comprising at least a pair of similar supports with elasticity, said pair of similar supports being either connected at the middle parts thereof or formed by two elastic members, each being composed of a flat top and a pair of supports, said two elastic members being combined at the flat tops, and opposite supports in series on both sides being connected to be substantially finished into a pair of supports connected at the middle parts.
  • Various conventional fenders have been known in the past, such as a trapezoidal fender, a fender with a shape of a trapezoid with no bottom, a saddle type fender and a square fender, in which a hollow elastic material is buckled by contact of a ship thereby absorbing the impact energy of a ship being moored to a quay or a dock.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a correspondingly larger fender to take care of increased dimensions of ships in recent times.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a fender which, though large in size, can absorb the impact energy with a relatively low reaction, because when the forward and rearward portion of its supports receive a ships impact, they can make almost independent buckling, thereby giving no damage either to a ships hull or to a quay wall and other structures.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a fender which is formed by two trapezoidal members, each being composed of a flat top and a pair of supports, said two members being combined at the flat tops, thereby making it easy and simple to produce them at the plant, carry them to the port, etc., and assemble them at the site where they are to be put in service.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a fender made of a definite quantity of elastic material which can absorb large impact energy.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a fender which can give sufficient reaction to absorb the impact energy though it has a wide scale of buckling in supports.
  • FIG. 1 is a transverse section of a first embodiment of a fender according to the present invention wherein two elastic tubular bodies trapezoidal in cross section are combined at the tops thereof with iron plates attached between them;
  • FIG. 2 is a transverse section of another modified embodiment of a fender according to the present invention wherein the tops of two tubular bodies illustrated in FIG. 1 are combined together by bolts without iron plates between them;
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation of the fender illustrated in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a transverse section of a third modified embodiment of a fender wherein two tubular bodies illustrated in FIG. 2 have no parts of the bottoms respectively;
  • FIG. 5 is an elevation of a set of a plurality of fenders being attached to a quay wall
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are transverse sections of fourth and fifth modified embodiments, according to the present invention.
  • FIG. I represents a fender wholly made of rubber; it is formed by two tubular bodies trapezoidal in cross section, each being composed of a flat top 3, which is embedded with an iron plate 8 fitted with a fitting plate 1 by a screw 2, a pair of divergent supports 4, 4, and a bottom 5 which is either attached to a quay wall or serves as a buffer, said two bodies being combined at the tops with said fitting plates between them by bolts and nuts 6, one bottom 5 being anchor bolted to a quay wall and the other bottom 5 being attached with a fending member 7 by bolt and nut 9.
  • the fending member is made of an I-steel member or a square wooden piece and 10 is an iron plate.
  • FIG. 5 shows a set of the fenders illustrated in FIG. 1 being attached to a quay wall, with a fending member all over the buffers; the dotted line corresponds to the whole set being covered with a board.
  • EXAMPLE IV The modified fender illustrated in FIG. 6 is composed of a pair of opposite supports 24, 24, top 23, bottom 25, and bridge 27 which connects said supports at the middle parts between said top 23 and said bottoms 25; and said bridge 29 is embedded with a strong textile cloth or iron plate to prevent the expansion of its length.
  • EXAMPLE V The modified fender illustrated in FIG. 7 is composed of a pair of outward bent supports 34, 34, top 33, bottom 36, and bridge 39 which connects said supports 34, 34 at the bend portions thereof, said bottom 36 being equipped with projections at both ends and said projections being attached to the quay wall with anchor bolts. Said bridge is embedded with a strong plastic cloth or iron plate 35; 37 in FIG. 7 is an iron plate.
  • each corresponding member is mutually interchangeable, and in the examples I, II, and III the combined and screwed tops constitute substantially the bridging part of the opposite supports on both sides.
  • the bottom where the fending member is fitted constitutes a buffer
  • the top acts as a buffer
  • the fender according to the present invention is constituted by an elastic material like rubber and composed of at least a pair of opposite supports, a buffer, a fixture, and a bridging part which connects at the middle parts of the opposite supports.
  • a very considerable absorption of impact energy with specified reaction is possible, thereby assuring not only substantial saving of materials but also full protection of a ships hull and a quay wall.
  • the metal mold and other production facilities can be very small and the products can be very easily carried to the site of installation and installed on a quay wall, thereby cutting down the production cost and shortening the construction period.
  • a dock fender comprising a hollow member of a resilient material, having a pair of opposite spaced apart supports, a bufier member at one end of said supports and a fixture at the other end of said supports, a bridging member connecting and extending between the medial portions of said supports for preventing the buckling of said supports when under pressure.
  • a dock fender as claimed in claim 1 including a fending member attached to said buffer member.
  • a dock fender comprising hollow member including a pair of hollow bodies each of a trapezoidal cross-sectional configuration and positioned end to end, a pair of metal plates each in one of said hollow bodies and bolts extending through said hollow body ends and connected to said plates retaining said hollow bodies together.
  • a dock fender as claimed in claim 6 wherein said metal plates are each embedded in one of said hollow body ends, a second pair of metal plates are positioned between said hollow body ends, means connects each of said first plate to one of said second plates and means connects said second pair of plates together.
