Abstract
A cable handling bow (2) for an overboarding system of a work platform has a cable retaining structure (4) for retaining a length of a cable, where the cable retaining structure (4) extends along a partially curved path (6). The path (6) has a first end (8) and an opposed second end (10), where the path (6) has a first straight segment (14) located between the first end (8) and the second end (10) and is spaced away from both ends (8, 10), such that a cable joint connecting two ends of a cable is placeable in the first straight segment (14), when the cable length is retained in the cable retaining structure (4).
Claims13
A cable handling bow for an overboarding system of a work platform, the cable handing bow comprising:
- a cable retaining structure for retaining a length of a cable,
- wherein the cable retaining structure extends along a partially curved path, which path has a first end and an opposed second end,
- wherein the path has a first straight segment located between the first end and the second end and being spaced away from both ends, such that a cable joint connecting two ends of a cable is placeable in the first straight segment, when the cable length is retained in the cable retaining structure;
- and
- wherein the cable retaining structure has a gap that extends along the first straight segment, and wherein the gap is arranged asymmetrically on the cable handling bow.
