Abstract
A device to be used in pairs for mooring a boat alongside a dock, each device including an elongated cylinder preferably of polyvinyl chloride, a first piston for movement within the cylinder, a first piston rod preferably of stainless steel having one end affixed to the first piston and the other end designed to be removably attached to the boat, a first helical spring surrounding that portion of the first piston rod within the cylinder, a second piston with movement within the cylinder, a second piston rod preferably of stainless steel having one end attached to the second piston and its other end being removably attached to the dock, and a second helical spring floating within the cylinder between the first and second pistons.
Claims5
A device for mooring a boat to a dock comprising
- an elongated cylinder having an axial hole in each of its two ends for slidable passage of a piston rod,
- a first piston designed to move back and forth along the axis of said cylinder,
- a first piston rod having one end affixed to said first piston and its other end designed to be removably attached to the boat,
- a first helical coiled spring surrounding that portion of the first piston rod lying within said cylinder,
- a second piston designed to move back and forth along the axis of said cylinder,
- a second piston rod having one end affixed to said second piston and its other end designed to be removably attached to the dock, and
- a second coiled helical spring floating within said cylinder between said first and second pistons.
A device for mooring a boat to a dock comprising
- an elongated cylinder made of polyvinyl chloride having an axial hole in each of its two ends for slidable passage of a piston rod,
- a first piston made of thermoplastic material designed to move back and forth along the axis of said cylinder,
- a first piston rod made of stainless steel having one end affixed to said piston and its other end designed to be removably attached to the boat,
- a first helical coiled spring surrounding that portion of the first piston rod lying within said cylinder,
- a cylindrical bushing made of thermoplastic material designed to float within the cylinder and which surrounds the first piston rod between the end of the cylinder and the end of the first helical spring,
- a second piston made of thermoplastic material designed to move back and forth along the axis of said cylinder,
- a second piston rod made of stainless steel having one end affixed to said second piston and its other end designed to be removably attached to the dock, and
- a second helical coiled spring floating within said cylinder between said first and second pistons.
