A bow stop is an apparatus that safely aids in the docking of a boat. The apparatus includes at leas tone length-adjustable stopper assembly. The at least one length-adjustable stopper assembly includes a telescopic bar, a stopper tube, a bungee cord, a first cradle mount, and a second cradle mount. The telescopic bar adjusts to the length of a boat. The stopper tube presses against the front of the bow. The bungee cord retracts the stopper tube into a neutral position. The first cradle mount and the second cradle mount secure the telescopic bar, and consequently the stopper tube and the bungee cord with the cradle mount. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one length-adjustable stopper assembly is a left length-adjustable stopper assembly and a right length-adjustable stopper assembly. The preferred embodiment further includes a length-adjustable cable, connecting the left length-adjustable stopper assembly with the right length-adjustable stopper assembly.

A mooring device including: a strut with a first end and a second end; a first head; a pivot mount; a first suction cup; a rotating mount; a second head; a second suction cup; a rod; and a flotation cover sleeve. The pivot mount allows the first head to pivot about a first head axis and therefore to rotate relative to the strut. The rotating mount allows the suction cup to rotate about a second axis relative to the strut. The flotation cover sleeve having a buoyancy sufficient to render the entire apparatus positively buoyant in water.

A docking or mooring system for a boat includes a horizontal shaft mounted with respect to a structure at which docking the boat may be desired. The system also includes at least one hitch mounted forward of the bow of a boat and defining a tapering recess configured to receive the shaft. The shaft is spring biased at a predetermined height but is selectively movable vertically. The hitch includes a latching mechanism with cams that automatically engage the shaft using the forward motion of the boat.

A vessel attachment device includes a body, first and second attachment arms, a biasing member, and at least one line connection interface. At least one of the first attachment arm and the second attachment arm is movable relative to the body. The biasing member is configured to apply a biasing force at the at least one movable first and second attachment arm to bias the at least one movable first and second attachment arm to an open position. And, the biasing member is configured to selectively release the biasing force and apply an actuation force at the at least one movable first and second attachment arm to move the at least one movable first and second attachment arm from the open position to the closed position to attach the vessel attachment device to a vessel attachment point.

The present invention provides a ship mooring device using a spring bellows structure, wherein the ship mooring device temporarily or permanently fixes a state in which the ship is spaced at a preset distance from a vessel or a pier, the ship mooring device including: a main body configured of a plurality of frames in which opposite ends of each of the frames are hinge-coupled to facing ends of adjacent frames to form foldable hinge joints, wherein diagonally opposed non-adjacent hinge joints of the frames are fixed to the ship and the pier, respectively; and a plurality of wires which are installed inwards in diagonal lines with respect to the frames of the main body to connect the diagonally opposed non-adjacent hinge joints together, with an elastic member interposed in a center portion of the radially disposed wires to generate predetermined dynamic stability when the ship is moved.

There is disclosed a mooring device (10) comprising an attachment unit (66) for mooring of a floating unit (110) to a floating or non-floating structure (125). The mooring device (10) comprises a first mooring arm (12) and a second mooring arm (20) for transferring and/or absorbing forces and energy that arises when the floating unit (110) moves relative to the floating or non-floating structure. There is also disclosed a floating unit and a floating or non-floating structure comprising one or more such mooring devices (10).

The invention provides a solution to people who want to enjoy therapeutic exercises in water using body boards but do not yet have the necessary skills to maneuver themselves alone. This invention serves as a way of acquiring these skills through a body board anchored to a fixed position and leaving a reasonable amount of space for the user to freely move his/her body without interfering with the operation of the board.

Disclosed is an assembly for anchoring a submerged vehicle to a stationary object. The assembly includes a telescoping tube having a hollow inner tube and a hollow outer tube, each the inner tube and the outer tube having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the inner tube slidably received within the outer tube through its proximal end. A snap button configured at the proximal end of the outer tube that can engage with a hole near the distal end of the inner tube for locking the movement of the inner tube within the outer tube. A rope having a first end and a second end, the first end of the rope attached to the inner tube near its proximal end. The second member passes through the eye of the spring hook and into the proximal end of the inner tube to form an anchoring loop. The second end of the rope exits the telescoping tube through the distal end of the outer tube and forms a boat hook loop.

A mooring device including: a strut with a first end and a second end; a first head; a pivot mount; a first suction cup; a rotating mount; a second head; a second suction cup; a rod; and a flotation cover sleeve. The pivot mount allows the first head to pivot about a first head axis and therefore to rotate relative to the strut. The rotating mount allows the suction cup to rotate about a second axis relative to the strut. The flotation cover sleeve having a buoyancy sufficient to render the entire apparatus positively buoyant in water.
