Definitions

  • This invention relates to a barrier which may be used for the protection of harbor installations, for example, mooring posts and jetty-heads which are liable to be bumped by ships or boats when they are maneuvering to berth or to move into a fairway leading to a dock.
  • the present invention provides a protection barrier which may be used for this type of harbor installation and which is able to tilt horizontally and vertically under the action of the force exerted by the hull of the ship. In this manner the barrier is able to remain in contact with the hull over a larger surface area, thereby reducing the effect of wear on both.
  • a barrier which may be used for the protection of harbor installations including an impact member, a relatively fixed part for attachment to a harbor installation, an intermediate frame forming a part of an interconnection between the impact member and the relatively fixed part, a resilient insert arranged in a horizontal plane between each of a pair of faces of the intermediate frame and the relatively fixed part, and a resilient insert arranged in a vertical plane between each of a pair of faces of the intermediate frame and the impact member, the inserts being arranged in the horizontal and vertical planes to be acted upon in shear in order to resist respectively the forces tending to tilt the barrier horizontally and vertically.
  • FIG. 1 is a view in partial section of a barrier taken along the line Il of FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the barrier
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view from the front of an intermediate frame
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are schematic views in elevation and plan respectively of a mooring post and a barrier and FIG. 6 shows the mooring post contacted by a boat.
  • a barrier having an impact member 1 of wooden planks fixed on a metal member 1,.
  • the impact member 1 is supported from a relatively fixed part 2 of a harbor installation which may, for example, be a mooring post or a jetty to protect the installation.
  • the part 2 has, as may be seen in the plan view (FIG. 2), a rectangular projecting part 2, which extends within an intermediate metal frame 3, which is in the form of a rectangular member.
  • Two pairs of horizontal sandwiches including inserts 4, and 4 of a resilient material, for example rubber, having a generally flat shape are placed between the upper and lower horizontal faces of the projecting part 2, and the corresponding faces of the horizontal parts of the frame 3.
  • a stop 7 having a curved surface and integral with the impact member 1 of the barrier is in direct contact with the end of the projecting part 2, of the harbor installation.
  • Two other brackets 8, fixed on the inner face of the barrier, are arranged along the vertical median plane of the barrier and each carries a thrust-plug 9 opposite the respective upper and lower faces of the horizontal parts of the frame 3.
  • the barrier is able to transmit the force exerted by the ship to the tubes, while tilting vertically and remaining in flat contact with the hull of the ship, thereby lessening the risk of damaging the hull and/or the barrier (FIG. 6). Moreover the barrier may tilt vertically when it is contacted by a ship not having a hull with a vertical wall.
  • the assembly thus allows the impact member of the barrier to tilt horizontally when it is contacted obliquely by a ship or boat or when a ship or boat bears on the barrier in order to effect a pivoting or turning maneuver (FIG. 5).
  • a barrier which may be used for protection of harbor installations including a normally vertical impact shield member having two spaced brackets rigidly connected thereto, each bracket having a surface facing and parallel to a surface of the other bracket, a part adapted to be fixed to a harbor installation and having two parallel faces, each of the said faces being on an opposite side of the part in a plane which is perpendicular to the said parallel surfaces of the brackets, an intermediate frame forming a portion of an interconnection between the impact shield member and the part adapted to be fixed to a harbor installation, the said intermediate frame having a first pair of parallel faces, each of the first pair of parallel faces facing a respective one of the parallel surfaces of the brackets, and a second pair of parallel faces, each of the second pair of parallel faces facing a respective one of the parallel faces of the part adapted to be fixed to the harbor installation, and flat inserts of resilient material attached to and positioned between each of the first pair of parallel faces of the intermediate frame and the respective one of said surfaces of the brackets and between each of the second pair of parallel
  • a barrier according to claim 1 a mooring post and a platform, the mooring post being formed from a plurality of flexible tubular posts and the platform connecting the mooring post to the barrier.
