Ship security barrier
11685476 · 2023-06-27 · ·

A ship security device is disclosed including a barrier and a panel. The security device may transition between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration the security device is unassembled and at least the barrier may be arranged in a storage configuration in which the barrier curves or bends through a first angle, and in the second configuration the security device is assembled in an arrangement for use, in which the security device may be assembled around a rail. In the second configuration at least a part of the panel is orientated to be substantially vertical, and the barrier is curved, bent or folded through a second angle, which is greater than the first angle, to protrude away from the panel in a horizontal direction, perpendicular from a plane extending vertically through the rail, to provide an overhang on an exterior side of the rail.

Barrier structure for a watercraft and watercraft having same

A watercraft includes a deck, a hull supporting the deck, and a barrier structure. The barrier structure includes: a frame connected to at least one of the deck and the hull and at least partially surrounding a portion of the deck; and a pliable sheet wall connected to the frame. The frame includes an upper portion including a rail for grabbing by a user's hand; and a lower portion connected to the at least one of the deck and the hull. The lower portion and the upper portion are connected to one another. The pliable sheet wall is stretched across at least a portion of the frame so as to extend between the upper and lower portions of the frame. A barrier structure is also contemplated.

Adjustable Debris Collection Apparatus For Maritime Vessels And Associated Methods

A debris collection apparatus for a maritime vessel includes a shroud and a plurality of support structures. Each of the plurality support structures include a boot defining a cavity and configured to be secured to the vessel, a foot sized to fit within the cavity, a staff cap, a stabilizer base configured to be secured to the vessel, an elevational staff section connected to the foot and the staff cap terminal, and a horizontal staff section connected to the staff cap and the stabilizer base. The foot is inserted into the boot to secure the support structures in a rigid position, and the shroud is connected to both staff caps and the vessel. The stabilizer base can include a connection loop, and the shroud can be configured to be connected to the connection loop in order to connect the shroud to the vessel.

Marine support column structure with power generation

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of power generators, and in particular relates to a marine support column structure with power generation function. The support column structure solves technical problems that existing marine power generators can only generate power with single energy and have few functions and so on. The marine support column structure with power generation function includes a column body. The support column structure of the present disclosure is capable of generating power with sea wind and waves, and is further capable of serving as a guardrail.

Pole light and base system with transformation of watercraft battery voltage
11254401 · 2022-02-22 · ·

A pole light and base system that includes a pole light base configured to be secured to a gunwale of a watercraft. In practice, the pole light base might include a pole light tube and a female Universal Serial Bus connector. The pole light tube may have electrical contacts configured to engage respective electrical contacting portions of an all around light pole if an all around light pole is inserted into the pole light tube. In some cases, the system might include the all around light pole and light. The electrical contacts of the tube might include a positive contact electrically coupled to a first wire and a negative contact electrically coupled to a second wire. The first and second wire may be designed to connect directly to a 12 Volt watercraft battery. They may also connect to a boat fuse box that is connected to a battery. Similarly, the female USB connector can be electrically connected to a printed circuit board that includes transforming components capable of transforming 12 Volt power from a watercraft battery into a lower voltage, such as 5 volt, that is made available via the female USB-A connector.

Cover system

A cover system for a vehicle, such as a boat, including a ratchet and a strap that is in part supported by a frame, such as a canopy frame. The strap cooperates with at least part of the frame to provide support and form to the cover such that water will run off the cover.
