Recessed and Retractable Mooring Line Assembly
A recessed and retractable mooring line device includes a housing having a mooring head that is configured for projecting through an opening or recess of a mounting structure so that an upper surface of the mooring head does not project from an outer surface of the mounting structure. A reel assembly is coupled to the housing and positioned below the mooring head to take up a flexible mooring line. The reel assembly includes a rotatable spool for winding the line. A ratchet wheel and spool that is engaged by a pawl prevents rotation of the ratchet wheel and spool when engaged. A moor head assembly that includes a pawl actuator actuates the pawl. An actuator lock of the moor head assembly engages the pawl actuator to keep it engaged with the pawl. A line anchor is used for securing to an end of the mooring line.
Locking dock cleat cover
The present invention relates to a cleat cover that is designed to prevent unauthorized use. The cover has a dome shaped body with an interior cavity interior configured to cover and removable attach to the cleat.
NAUTICAL CLEAT INSTALLABLE ON A BOAT AND BOAT COMPRISING SAID NAUTICAL CLEAT
A nautical cleat is provided for tying a rope of a boat. First and second shafts are installable on a deck via first and second positioning elements, respectively, and further support first and second tying elements, respectively. A transverse body mechanically connects said first and second tying elements. Fastening means securely fasten said first and second positioning elements to said deck. A first roller-shaped towing element tows and rolls up said rope and is rotatable about a first rotation axis defined by said first shaft. A second roller-shaped towing element is rotatable about a second rotation axis defined by said second shaft and substantially parallel to said first rotation axis. An actuating device comprises at least one motor operatively connected to said first and/or second roller-shaped towing element. Connecting means connect the actuating device to said deck, wherein said actuating device is placed in a position underlying said lower surface. A spherical joint, operatively interposed between the first shaft and the transverse body, allows the rotation of the transverse body with respect to said first shaft, around at least one substantially horizontal axis.
MOORING MATE
An apparatus for mooring a boat may include a mount body including a plurality of sidewalls forming a channel. A cleat may extend from a first of the plurality of sidewalls. A plate may be removably coupled to the mount body. The apparatus may include a clamping structure comprising a movable jaw coupled to a second of the plurality of sidewalls and configured to clamp the mount to a dock rail.
Quick attach bracket system
A quick attach bracket system has a structural member and an attachment bracket. The structural member is installed onto the edge of a dock or other appropriate location, and the attachment bracket may be quickly affixed to the structural member. Attachments may be affixed to the attachment bracket in order to secure the attachments to the structural member. One or more bracket hooks of the attachment bracket are received by corresponding bracket hook receivers of the structural member. A fastener flange connected to the lower end of the attachment bracket further secures the attachment bracket to the structural member through a fastener which can be tightened against a fastener receiver of the structural member. Various attachments such as flagpole brackets, ladders and other items may be attached to the attachment bracket in order to be secured to the structural member.
LOCKING DOCK CLEAT COVER
The present invention relates to a cleat cover that is designed to prevent unauthorized use. The cover has a dome shaped body with an interior cavity interior configured to cover and removable attach to the cleat.
Outdrive flexible shield apparatus
An outdrive flexible shield apparatus has a rectangular frame and a rectangular flexible liner. The frame has a front pole, a left back corner, and a right back corner. The front pole of the rectangular frame has a left segment and a right segment, the right segment separated by a gap from the left segment. A circular opening is medially disposed within a front surface of the rectangular flexible liner. The rectangular flexible liner is attachable to the frame. A left rope attaches the back left corner of the apparatus to a boat and another right rope attaches the back right corner of the apparatus to the boat. A dissolvable chlorine cartridge is removably disposable within the cavity of the substantially rectangular flexible liner.
Horn cleat deflector
A horn cleat deflector assembly uses a pair of bodies to engage the horns of a horn cleat top surfaces engaging the ends of horns, flat surfaces engaging the deck and an angled surface deflecting external objects from fouling the cleat, inner surfaces providing clearance to permit a line to be fastened to the cleat with a lanyard adapted to retain the bodies in position.
SWING DOCK
One example embodiment is a swing dock. The swing dock includes a floating platform, a plurality of mounting means and a fastening means. The floating platform includes a frontal end and a tailing end which is positioned behind the frontal end. The width of frontal end is shorter than the width of the tailing end. The plurality of mounting means are provided on the floating platform to allow a marine craft to be secured adjacent to one mooring side of the swing dock. The fastening means is provided at a leading side of the floating platform which is adjacent to the frontal end. The fastening means allows the platform to be secured to a securing structure when in use such that the marine craft and the swing dock can swing in unison under windy conditions to minimize wind force.
Quick Attach Bracket System
A quick attach bracket system has a structural member and an attachment bracket. The structural member is installed onto the edge of a dock or other appropriate location, and the attachment bracket may be quickly affixed to the structural member. Attachments may be affixed to the attachment bracket in order to secure the attachments to the structural member. One or more bracket hooks of the attachment bracket are received by corresponding bracket hook receivers of the structural member. A fastener flange connected to the lower end of the attachment bracket further secures the attachment bracket to the structural member through a fastener which can be tightened against a fastener receiver of the structural member. Various attachments such as flagpole brackets, ladders and other items may be attached to the attachment bracket in order to be secured to the structural member.
