Description

Schiffsfender marine fender
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schiffsfender. Schiffsfen¬ der dienen dazu, den Rumpf eines an einer Kaimauer oder einem natürlichen Felsen angelegten Schiffs bei Stößen gegen die Kaimauer oder den Felsen zu schützen. Sie werden am Schiffs¬ rumpf befestigt und wirken somit als Puffer zwischen diesem und der Kaimauer oder dem Felsen. Auf die gleiche Weise schützen sie den Schiffsrumpf auch vor Berührungen mit unmit¬ telbar neben dem Schiff liegenden anderen Schiffen.The invention relates to a ship fender. Ship fencers are used to protect the hull of a ship attached to a quay wall or a natural rock in collisions against the quay wall or the rock. They are attached to the ship hull and thus act as a buffer between it and the quay wall or the rock. In the same way, they also protect the hull from contact with other ships directly next to the ship.
Schiffsfender üblicher Bauart sind mit Luft gefüllte Schwimmkörper, die üblicherweise Zylinder- oder Ballförmig ausgestaltet und aus einem weichen Material gefertigt sind.Ship fenders of conventional design are filled with air floats, which are usually designed cylindrical or ball-shaped and made of a soft material.
Als Schwimmkörper sind übliche Fender jedoch darauf be¬ schränkt, den Schiffsrumpf auf Höhe der Wasserlinie zu schüt¬ zen. Ein Schutz des Schiffsrumpfs vor Felsvorsprüngen unter¬ halb der Wasserlinie ist mit herkömmlichen Fendern nicht mög¬ lich. Veränderungen in der Höhe des Wasserspiegels bewirken, daß sich Felsvorsprünge oder andere Hindernisse zu verschie¬ denen Zeiten in verschiedenen Höhen relativ zum Wasserspiegel befinden können. Unterhalb des Wasserspiegels können sie den Schiffsrumpf leicht beschädigen, wenn letzterer nicht hinrei¬ chend geschützt ist. Die momentanen und zukünftig zu erwar¬ tenden Veränderungen des Weltklimas lassen zudem den Meeres¬ spiegel steigen: in vielen Häfen sind die Kaimauern damit nur wenig höher als der Meeresspiegel, und Vorsprünge, die vor¬ mals auf der Höhe des Meeresspiegels lagen und gegen die die Schiffsrümpfe auf herkömmliche Art und Weise geschützt werden konnten, liegen nun unterhalb des Meeresspiegels.As floats, however, conventional fenders are limited to protecting the hull at the level of the waterline. A protection of the hull against rock protrusions below the waterline is not possible with conventional fenders. Changes in the height of the water level cause rock ledges or other obstacles to be at different times at different heights relative to the water level. Below the water level, they can easily damage the hull, if the latter is not sufficiently protected. The current and future changes in the global climate also cause the sea level to rise: in many ports, the quay walls are thus only slightly higher than the sea level, and projections that were previously at sea level and against which Hulls could be protected in the conventional way, are now below sea level.
Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen Schiffs¬ fender zu schaffen, der den Schiffsrumpf besser schützen kann.The invention is based on the problem to provide a Schiffs¬ fender that can better protect the hull.
Dieses Problem wird durch einen Schiffsfender mit den im Anspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is solved by a ship fender having the features listed in claim 1.
Da der erfindungsgemäße Schiffsfender nicht auf der Was¬ seroberfläche aufschwimmt, kann er an einer gewünschten Stel¬ le in eine gewünschte Tiefe abgesenkt und am Schiff befestigt oSince the ship fender according to the invention does not float on the water surface, it can be lowered to a desired depth at a desired position and fastened to the ship O
werden und damit den Schiffsrumpf vor Stößen gegen ein dort befindliches Hindernis schützen. Er kann somit den Schiffs¬ rumpf vor Felsvorsprüngen, Vorsprüngen der Kaimauer oder ähn¬ lichen Hindernissen in Höhe der Wasserlinie ebenso wie unter¬ halb der Wasserlinie schützen. Der Schiffsrumpf kann aus¬ schließlich durch erfindungsgemäße Schiffsfender oder durch eine Kombination von erfindungsgemäßen und herkömmlichen Fen- dern geschützt werden.and thus protect the hull from shocks against an obstacle located there. It can thus protect the hull against rock projections, projections of the quay wall or similar obstacles at the level of the waterline as well as below the waterline. The ship's hull can be protected exclusively by ship fenders according to the invention or by a combination of inventive and conventional windows.
Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Ein bevorzugter Schiffsfender weist einen Innenraum auf, der über an entgegengesetzten Sei¬ ten des Fenders angebrachten Löcher mit der äußeren Umgebung kommuniziert. Außerhalb des Wassers ist der Fender dadurch mit Luft gefüllt und somit sehr leicht und einfach handhab¬ bar. Beim Absenken ins Wasser füllt sich der Fender mit Was¬ ser und sinkt zügig in die gewünschte Tiefe ab. Wenn der Fen¬ der die Form eines flachen Körpers, vorzugsweise eine Torus- form annimmt, kann er großflächig schützend flach am Schiffs¬ rumpf anliegen und ist dennoch leicht handhabbar.Preferred embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. A preferred ship fender has an internal space which communicates with the outside environment via holes provided on opposite sides of the fender. Outside of the water, the fender is thereby filled with air and thus very easy and easy to handle bar. When lowered into the water, the fender fills with water and drops rapidly to the desired depth. If the fen¬ takes on the shape of a flat body, preferably a torus shape, it can lie over a large area protectively flat against the ship hull and is still easy to handle.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Figuren 1 bis 3 erläutert. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to Figures 1 to 3. Show it:
Fig. 1 eine Querschnittsansicht entlang der x-y- Ebene,1 is a cross-sectional view along the x-y plane,
Fig. 2 einen Querschnittsansicht des Fenders entlang der y-z-Ebene undFig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the fender along the y-z plane and
Fig. 3 eine Querschnittsansicht eines an einer Kai¬ mauer angelegten Schiffes mit einem am Schiff befestigten er¬ findungsgemäßen Fender.3 shows a cross-sectional view of a ship attached to a quay wall with a fender fastened to the ship according to the invention.
Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte erfindungsgemäße Schiffsfen¬ der 1 hat die Form eines Torus bzw. Reifens, der am Innen¬ umfang zur Torusöffnung hin offen ist. Seine Außenwand 2 ist aus einem elastischen Material wie z.B. einer Kautschuk¬ mischung oder einem geeigneten Elastomer hergestellt, das ausreichend weich, glatt und abriebsfest ist, um keine Spuren auf der Schiffswand zu hinterlassen. Wie in Fig. 2 darge¬ stellt sind Teile der Außenwand 2 oder die gesamte Außenwand 2 zudem durch eine Schicht 8 härteren Materials, wie z.B. eine Stahlarmierung, verstärkt. Der Fender 1 weist einen ringförmigen Innenraum 3 auf, der durch die Außenwand 2 begrenzt, nach innen zur Torusöffnung hin jedoch offen ist. Die Verstärkung 8 der Außenwand 2 bewirkt, daß der Fender 1 nicht ohne weiteres in sich zusammengedrückt werden kann und gibt ihm die geeignete Festigkeit zum Abdämpfen von Stößen.1 of the invention has the shape of a torus or tire which is open on the inner circumference towards the torus opening. Its outer wall 2 is made of an elastic material such as a Kautschuk¬ mixture or a suitable elastomer, which is sufficiently soft, smooth and abrasion resistant to leave no marks on the ship's wall. As shown in FIG. 2, parts of the outer wall 2 or the entire outer wall are shown 2 also reinforced by a layer 8 harder material, such as a steel reinforcement. The fender 1 has an annular interior 3 which is bounded by the outer wall 2, but inwardly towards the torus opening is open. The reinforcement 8 of the outer wall 2 causes the fender 1 can not be compressed easily in itself and gives him the appropriate strength for damping shocks.
Der Innenraum 3 ist über den offenen Torusinnenumfang und mehrere Löcher 4a-c, 5a-d mit der äußeren Umgebung ver¬ bunden. Die Löcher 4a-c und 5a-d befinden sich jeweils auf der Außenumfangsseite des Torus auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Torusöffnung. Dadurch ist der Fender, wenn er sich außer¬ halb des Wassers befindet, mit Luft gefüllt und von leichtem Gewicht. Insbesondere ist er leicht zu transportieren und zu verstauen. Über Ösen 6a, 6b, 7 an der Außenwand 2 läßt sich der Fender mit Leinen am Schiff befestigen. Die Ösen sind da¬ bei vorzugsweise mit Kautschuk überzogene Stahlösen, die mit selbstsichernden Stahlmuttern und -schrauben an der Außenwand 2 befestigt sind.The interior space 3 is connected to the external environment via the open torus inner circumference and a plurality of holes 4a-c, 5a-d. The holes 4a-c and 5a-d are located on the outer peripheral side of the torus on opposite sides of the torus opening, respectively. As a result, when the fender is outside the water, it is filled with air and of light weight. In particular, it is easy to transport and stow. Eyelets 6a, 6b, 7 on the outer wall 2, the fender can be fixed with lines on the ship. The eyelets are preferably rubber-coated steel eyelets, which are fastened to the outer wall 2 with self-locking steel nuts and screws.
Wird der Fender an Leinen, die an den beim Eintauchen oberen Ösen 6a, 6b befestigt sind, ins Wasser gelassen, so füllt er sich zunächst durch die unteren Löcher 5a bis 5d und dann durch die offene Torusinnenseite mit Wasser, während die Luft aus dem Innenraum 3 durch die Torusinnenseite und die oberen Löcher 4a bis 4c bei den oberen Ösen 6a, 6b entweicht. Schließlich ist der Innenraum 3 ganz mit Wasser gefüllt und die Tatsache, daß die Gesamtdichte des Fendermaterials größer als die von Wasser ist, bewirkt, daß er schnell bis zur gewünschten Tiefe sinkt. Dort wird er durch die an den Ösen 6a, 6b, 7 befestigten Leinen gehalten. Während die Befesti¬ gung an den beiden oberen Ösen βa, 6b den Fender 1 gegen Ver¬ drehung sichern, dient die Befestigung an der unteren Öse 7 der Stabilisierung des Fenders 1 gegen seitliche Bewegungen sowie als Sicherheitsbefestigung.When the fender is let into the water on lines attached to the upper loops 6a, 6b when immersed, it first fills with water through the lower holes 5a to 5d and then through the open inside of the torus, while the air is expelled from the interior 3 through the Torusinnenseite and the upper holes 4a to 4c at the upper eyelets 6a, 6b escapes. Finally, the interior space 3 is completely filled with water and the fact that the total density of the fender material is greater than that of water causes it to rapidly sink to the desired depth. There he is held by the attached to the eyelets 6a, 6b, 7 lines. While the fastening on the two upper eyelets βa, 6b secure the fender 1 against twisting, the attachment to the lower eyelet 7 serves to stabilize the fender 1 against lateral movements and as a safety fastening.
In Fig. 3 ist dargestellt, wie ein erfindungsgemäßer Fender 1 den Rumpf 10 eines Schiffes vor Stößen gegen Fels- vorsprünge 11 an einer Kaimauer 9 unterhalb der Wasserlinie schützt.FIG. 3 shows how a fender 1 according to the invention protects the hull 10 of a ship from impacts against rocks. Protruding projections 11 on a quay wall 9 below the waterline.
Beim Hochziehen des Fenders an den Leinen, die an den Ösen 6a, 6b, 7 befestigt sind, läuft das Wasser über die To- rusinnenseite und die unteren Löcher 5a-d ab.When pulling up the fender on the lines attached to the eyelets 6a, 6b, 7, the water drains over the inside of the tube and the lower holes 5a-d.
Es ist denkbar, daß die der Torusöffnung zugewandte To- rusinnenseite ganz oder abschnittsweise geschlossen ist.It is conceivable that the door inner side facing the torus opening is closed completely or in sections.
Die Torusform des Fenders 1 gemäß Fig. 1 hat den Vor¬ teil, daß der Fender 1 durch die Torusöffnung in seiner Mitte seitlichen Bewegungen des Wassers gegenüber weniger empfind¬ lich ist. Ebenfalls denkbar sind Varianten wie ein torusför- miger Fender mit ovaler oder polygonaler, z.B. achteckiger, Grundform (Querschnitt in x-y-Ebene in Fig. 1) und kreisför¬ migen, ovalen oder polygonalen Querschnitten entlang der y-z- Ebene sowie völlig andere Formen, wie z.B. eine längliche Form, eine Zylinder- oder eine Ankerform. Jedoch ist eine Form mit flacher Außenkontur bevorzugt, da sie flächig schützend am Schiffsrumpf anliegen kann.The toroidal shape of the fender 1 according to FIG. 1 has the advantage that the fender 1 is less susceptible to lateral movement of the water through the torus opening in its center. Also conceivable are variants such as a toroidal fender with oval or polygonal, e.g. octagonal, basic shape (cross section in x-y plane in Fig. 1) and kreisför¬ shaped, oval or polygonal cross-sections along the y-z plane and completely different shapes, such as. an elongated shape, a cylinder or an anchor shape. However, a shape with a flat outer contour is preferred because it can lie flat protective on the hull.
Auf der Außenwand 2 des Schiffsfenders 1 können Werbe¬ mittel, Schiffsname oder Verzierungen angebracht werden. On the outer wall 2 of the ship fender 1 Werbe¬ medium, ship name or ornaments can be attached.
