Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for rescuing people in distress, consisting of a rope forming a heaving line and a loop attached to the end thereof, which is to be placed around the body of the person in distress.
- a crane on board can be helpful if there is equipment on board that can be used to attach a stretcher or a loop around the torso of the person fetched from the sea to the crane hook.
- the invention avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. It is the object of the invention to provide a simple means of pulling the person in distress with the throwing line on the water surface up to the crane hook located just above the water surface, then attaching the throwing line to the crane hook so that after the Can no longer move back and then lift the person in distress with the crane by lifting the crane hook out of the water up to the deck. In other words: to create a link between the crane hook and the rescue loop, with which the rescue loop on the heaving line can be pulled up to the crane hook and then lifted out of the water with the crane and brought on board.
- the invention consists in the provision of a guiding or blocking device for the throwing line which is to be attached to a lifting device and which is equipped with guiding rollers for the throwing line, a carrying device for the guiding rollers, a coupling device for the lifting device and a throwing line brake which can be switched off in one running direction.
- This device achieves the object on which the invention is based: the guide and blocking device attached to the crane hook has so much mass that its position changes only slightly when pulled on the heaving line if the guide and blocking device changes just above the water surface or is on the water surface and the heaving line is pulled in by hand.
- the person to be rescued is first drawn along the water surface to the guiding and blocking device located close to or in the water surface, and then, after reaching this location, is lifted out of the water together with the guiding and blocking device using the force of the crane , Little effort is required to pull in the heaving line, pulling the person in distress along the surface of the water, which is easily applied by a man on deck. Lifting out the person in distress is much more difficult, especially since this person must be carried out together with the weighted rescue device. This heavy work is done by the machine-powered force of the crane.
- the heaving line passes through the rope guiding and blocking device in order to initially transport the person who is in distress in a horizontal way. Then there is no danger, which occurs without the guiding and blocking device, that the person gets free from the water surface in a trough when the heaving line becomes ever more inclined and then hits the side wall in a kind of pendulum stroke.
- the blocking device in this device ensures prevention of the return of the heaving line during the process of Hauling in the heaving line. It is a device known from sports sailing boats, which is used there to prevent a line attached to the halyard from running back after it has been taken up. It is a device that allows the line to be pulled freely in one direction, but is blocked when pulled in the other direction.
- the blocking effect can be switched on and off by means of a lever on this blocking device.
- the blocking effect is required in particular when lifting the person in distress out of the water and when transporting this person vertically from the water surface to the deck.
- the blocking effect is so great that several people can be lifted out of the water at the same time and lifted up to the deck.
- This rescue device is extremely quickly ready for use: while one crew member puts the crane out of service, another crew member fetches the guide and blocking device with the heaving line already pulled out of a crate standing on deck and hangs it on the crane hook. During the hanging process, the throwing line in the box in accordance with the throw can be removed and ejected with the rescue loop already connected, so that the person in distress can already consider the rescue loop when the crane is still lowering the guiding and blocking device to the water surface , a process that takes place within a minute.
- the retrieval begins Throwing line, which is expediently carried out by hand by a person standing on deck, as a result of which the person in distress is pulled over the water surface with due care and diligence, so that contact with the side wall is reliably avoided, which can lead to serious injuries in rough seas could lead.
- the rapid rescue of the person in distress reduces the shock effect that occurs in such accidents, reduces the risk of hypothermia in the water and leads this person to on-board care more quickly.
- the support device for the rollers and the blocking device consists of two plates arranged in parallel, preferably made of stainless steel, between which the rollers and the cable brake are arranged. Since this device should be heavy so that it only swings slowly and slowly on the steel cable of the crane during operation and in order to form a stable deflection point for the throwing line that floats on the water surface and runs steeply upwards from the deflection point, it is recommended that the Manufacture stainless steel plates and make them thick and stable.
- the carrying device for the guide rollers and the brake is covered with padding is.
- the padding provides protection for the person in distress against injuries if they should be hurled by the sea against this device, or protection for the device itself if it should be hurled against the side wall by the sea.
- This padding can be easily attached to the device during its construction and securely attached to the device if the padding is accommodated in pockets which are preferably attached to the outside of the plates of the carrying device with the aid of a further plate located in the pocket.
- the padding is made of foam, which gives the device a buoyancy in water.
- the heaving line carries a stopper above the fastening for the loop to be placed around the person's body.
- This stopper is an object attached to the throwing line, which another Einzw. Prevents the rope from running through the rope guide and blocking device.
- the blocking device carries a lever for switching the brake on and off.
- the loop consists of two belts, a buoyant and a non-buoyant one, between which a net is preferably arranged, because, in contrast to those with only, this loop is arranged a loop is characterized by protecting the circulation of the person to be rescued.
- the lever of the blocking device is accommodated in a gap in the padding between the two plates of the carrying device.
- FIG. 1 shows the rescue operation
- FIG. 2 shows the guiding and blocking device in longitudinal section
- FIG. 3 shows the guiding and blocking device in cross section.
- the rescue device which consists of a guiding and blocking device 6 and a throwing line 7, is attached to the crane hook 5 carried by a steel cable 3 of the crane 4 , at the end of which a rescue loop consisting of two belts 8, 9 is attached.
- the upper chord 8 is buoyant and placed around the upper body of the person 2 in distress, while the lower chord 9 is not buoyant and sinks down, so that the person to be rescued can put his legs through the lower chord made in the form of a loop.
- Upper flange 8 and lower flange 9 are hooked with their two ends into a lockable hook 10 at the end of the throwing line 7.
- the sailor 11 on board begins the rescue process by catching up the heaving line 7, which in this case runs unblocked through the guiding and blocking device 6. Due to the weight of the guiding and blocking device 6, which is lowered to just above the surface of the sea, the course of the rope consists of an exact horizontal part between the person to be rescued 2 and the cable guiding and blocking device 6 and an approximated vertical part between the cable guiding and blocking device 6 and the sailor 1 1 catching up the heaving line 7.
- this rope brake 13 allows the rope 7 serving as a throwing line to pass when the direction of movement is towards the ship, in the opposite direction it prevents any movement.
- the braking force is so great that one or more men who hang freely on the throwing line 7 can be lifted out of the water and brought on board.
- the jaws 15, 16 of the cable brake can be separated and the braking force can thus be released. This happens at the end of the rescue operation on the deck of ship 1 in order to detach the rescued from the rescue device and the rescue device and the throwing line 7 for one ready to be used again.
- Figures 2 and 3 show sections through the cable guide and blocking device 6.
- This consists of two plates 17, which are preferably made of stainless steel. These plates 17 carry bearings for the rope pulleys 18, between which the rope 7 serving as a throwing line runs and is deflected. Between these plates, the rope brake 13 with its brake shoes 15, 16 is installed, at least one of which has a brake shoe 15 with teeth 19 which bite into the rope 7 serving as a throwing line when the rope 7 moves in the direction towards the Tooth direction of the teeth 19 wants to start.
- the brake shoes 15, 16 can be set apart so far that the rope 7 can freely run back and forth between them.
- the two stainless steel plates 17 are firmly connected to each other by connectors, not shown. On these or on the stainless steel plates 17 themselves, U-shaped attachment eyes 20 are attached, in which the crane hook 5 is hung.
- the stainless steel plates 17 have pockets 21 on their outside filled with floatable foam material (foam), into which plates 22 are inserted, which are screwed to the stainless steel plates 17.
- foam floatable foam material
- a net between the two straps interferes when putting on the straps if there is no rescuer in the water to help put them on.
- the network is of great advantage if an unconscious person has to be rescued.
