Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and process for the recovery of submerged bodies, particularly anchors.
  • the technical task that forms the basis of the invention is to solve the said technical problem.
  • one important object of the invention is to create a device that is not only economical and small in volume but also can easily be fashioned out of materials on open sale, that is to say, a device that virtually requires no maintenance.
  • Another important object of the invention is to create a device that can easily be adapted to situations that are quite different and, in particular, can readily be made to suit the various types of anchors used in the nautical field.
  • a device for the recovery of submerged bodies particularly anchors, that is characterized by the fact of comprising: a float of a volume in proportion with the weight of a submerged body to be recovered, a sheave device that is hung on to the said float and can enter into sliding engagement with a connecting cable running between the said body to be recovered and a boat, and means for restraining the said cable, designed to allow it to slide in one single direction on the said sheave device.
  • a process for the recovery of submerged bodies, and this is characterized by the fact that it consists : in fitting to a line taut between a submerged body and a boat, a sliding support that is held in a raised position by a float, and in causing the boat in question, rendered integral with one extremity of the said line, to move away from the said support.
  • the device according to the invention is shown globally at 1. Fundamentally it is constituted by a float 2 and by a sheave device 3 that is hung on to the said float 2 and can enter into sliding engagement with a line or cable 4, one part of which terminates, for example, at an anchor 5, and the other at a boat 6.
  • the float 2 can, for example, be a buoy of a volume proportional to the weight of the anchor 5.
  • the float 2 can be constituted by ordinary empty containers or by elements inflatable at the time of use.
  • the sheave device 3, illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 is constituted by a pair of plates 7, side by side and parallel one with the other, rendered integral in the region of one extremity.
  • the plates 7 support a grooved wheel 8 on which is mounted the line 4, and it is possible to position this between the plates 7 since one of these is provided with an aperture.
  • the said aperture that runs over the full width of the plate, can be open or provided with a cover 7a that can be displaced around a pivot 7b and be locked by means of a cam 7c placed on the opposite side to the pivot 7b.
  • the two plates 7 of the sheave device 3 fasten on to the float 2 through, for example, a spring catch 9.
  • the device according to the invention lies in the fact that it is provided, inside the sheave device 3, with restraint means designed to allow the line 4 to slide only in one direction.
  • the structure of the restraint means 10 can be seen in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the means are constituted by a toothed element that oscillates around a pin 11 and is provided with an active profile 12, this meshing with the arcuate or parabolic line 4.
  • the said restraint means 10 release spontaneously the line 4 when this is forced in the same direction as the arrow A for the movement of the toothed element, shown in Figure 2.
  • the toothed element 10 is rotated and raised, the line 4 being inserted in the free space created between the said toothed element and the wheel 8.
  • the toothed element is then left free and the cover 7a is put back over the aperture.
  • the sheave device 3 is then rendered integral, through the spring catch 9, with a float 2 and thrown into the water.
  • This sliding motion is free when it follows the direction indicated by the arrow A but is immediately prevented by the toothed element when in the reverse direction.
  • the device described above makes possible an advantageous process for the recovery of submerged bodies that is also an integral part of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 The said process is illustrated in Figure 1 and consists essentially in fitting to a line taut between a submerged body and a boat, a sliding support that is held in a raised position by a float, and in causing the boat to move away from the said sliding support.
  • the submerged body is, therefore, compelled to move systematically upwards irrespective of the inclination of the line in proximity of the boat that is towing it.
  • the invention achieves the proposed objects; indeed, a device and a process of extreme simplicity and economical cost have been devised, thanks to which the recovery of, for example, an anchor creates no problem and requires no manual effort.
  • recovery operations are extremely fast and of intuitive execution : all that has to be done is to fit the device to a line and then tow the line with the boat.
  • the anchor will be pulled up and recovered when the line also carries in movement with it, the device complete with float : this means that the said anchor is in a position of contrast with the device according to the invention.
  • the float can be even in the form of the most simple means to be found on all craft : for example, an empty petrol can.
