Resilient bumper and bumper system

A bumper system comprising:

• a plurality of resilient bumpers, each resilient bumper comprising:
• an arc-shaped spring member that extends from a first end to a second end along a spring axis and comprises an impact surface arranged between the first and second ends, and
• a support member that comprises a slot formed in a surface of the support member and that extends in parallel to the spring axis of the spring member and is configured to releasably engage the first and second ends of the spring member;
• and
• a frame to which the support member of each of the plurality of resilient bumpers is connected, such that the resilient bumpers are aligned along a frame axis substantially transverse to the spring axis of each resilient bumper,
• wherein at least one of the first and second ends of the spring member are moveably mounted to the slot, wherein a deflection of the spring member increases a distance between the first and second ends of the spring member along the spring axis,
• wherein the first end of the spring member comprises a first pair of rollers rotatably mounted to the first end of the spring member, and the second end of the spring member comprises a second pair of rollers rotatably mounted to the second end of the spring member, wherein the first and second pair of rollers are configured to roll along a surface of the support member as the first and second ends move along the slot.

A marine structure comprising:

• a plurality of resilient bumpers, each resilient bumper comprising
• an arc-shaped spring member that extends from a first end to a second end along a spring axis and comprises an impact surface arranged between the first and second ends, and
• a support member that comprises a slot formed in a surface of the support member and that extends in parallel to the spring axis of the spring member and is configured to releasably engage the first and second ends of the spring member;
• and
• a frame to which the support member of each of the plurality of resilient bumpers is connected, such that the resilient bumpers are aligned along a frame axis substantially transverse to the spring axis of each resilient bumper, wherein the frame is configured to rest on the seabed,
• wherein at least one of the first and second ends of the spring member are moveably mounted to the attachment interface, wherein a deflection of the spring member increases a distance between the first and second ends of the spring member along the spring axis,
• wherein the first end of the spring member comprises a first pair of rollers rotatably mounted to the first end of the spring member, and the second end of the spring member comprises a second pair of rollers rotatably mounted to the second end of the spring member, wherein the first and second pair of rollers are configured to roll along a surface of the support member as the first and second ends move along the attachment interface.
