The present invention provides a long-term mooring device. A support frame is provided on a dock. The dock is provided with a free guide roller. The free guide roller is wound with a cable. An upper end of the cable is horizontally connected to a spring fixed on a lower side of a cross arm of the support frame, through a free guide roller provided on the lower side of the cross arm of the support frame (corresponding to the free guide roller on the dock). The middle of the cable penetrates through an inertial induction self-locking connection joint fixed on an end of a platform arm. The platform arm is fixed on a platform. The present invention provides an omnidirectional restoring force for the moored platform through the elastic deformation of the springs to control the movement response of the platform within a certain range.

An adjustable attachment device includes an elongate body defining a plurality of openings and an attachment bracket attached to and slidable relative to the body and defining an opening. The adjustable attachment device selectively and adjustably interconnects a fixed piling and a floating dock assembly. A fixed attachment device includes a main portion defining an opening and a generally triangular end portion defining an opening. The fixed attachment device rigidly interconnects a fixed piling and a floating dock assembly. A bumper attachment device includes a first and second end portions defining openings and a rotatable bumper. The bumper attachment device is connected to a floating dock assembly.

The invention relates to a device for fixing floating bodies (1, 1′) with a pile (2) which can be fixed at one end to a ground (G) and in the region of the other end of which the floating body (1, 1′) can be fixed. For the purpose of providing advantageous fixing conditions, it is proposed that the pile (2) is designed as a telescopic tube (3).

A connection device is provided for removably connecting an article to a tie-down cleat having a pair of opposed horns each with each horn having a free end. The articles can be ropes, straps, bungee cords, netting, covers, wraps, accessories, and the like. The connection device includes a body having a pair of horn openings each configured for receiving one of the opposed horns therein. The horn openings are coaxial and spaced apart a distance less than a distance between the free ends of the horns. At least a portion of the body is formed of an elastic material so that the body can be resiliently stretched for selectively inserting the opposed horns into the horn openings to secure the connection device to the tie-down cleat and resiliently stretched for selectively removing the opposed horns out of the horn openings to remove the connection device from the tie-down cleat.
