Abstract
Disclosed is a laying device (1) of the tensioner type for the controlled clamping and moving of an elongated body, intended to be carried by a laying tower. The laying device (1) includes an annular frame (10) including two mobile frame parts (101) that each include at least one guiding box (11) and that are assembled to an element (13) for the fastening of the laying device (1) to the tower (2), through a main pivot element (14). The main pivot element (14) defines a single main rotation axis (14′), around which the mobile frame parts (101) are rotationally operable between the closed/open configurations.
Claims20
A laying device of the tensioner type for the controlled clamping and moving of an elongated body (C), said laying device (1) being intended to be carried by a laying tower (2),
- which laying device (1) comprises an annular frame (10) that defines a passage (A) for the circulation of said elongated body (C), following a passage axis (P),
- which annular frame (10) comprises two mobile frame parts (101) that each comprise at least one guiding box (11) arranged about said passage axis (P),
- which two mobile frame parts (101) are assembled to means (13) for the fastening of said laying device (1) to said tower (2), through main pivot means (14) that allow a rotational operation of said mobile frame parts (101), relative to each other, between a closed laying configuration and an open configuration for access to said passage of circulation (A),
- wherein said main pivot means (14) define a single main rotation axis (14′) about which said mobile frame parts (101) are rotationally operable between said closed/open configurations.
