Abstract
Boat mooring devices to secure a boat or other floating object at a relatively fixed location on the surface of a body of water, which allow vertical movement of the boat, or floating object, in response to change in the water level where the boat is connected to at least one vertically extending shaft which extend upwardly above the surface of the water by ring-like floats having split sections so the boat can be connected to the rings and the shaft can be received through the split sections of the rings regardless of the height of the shaft. Closure devices are provided to retain the rings on the shafts for longitudinal movement thereon, but hold the boat in position and telescoping shafts are provided where the rings are attached adjacent the distal ends thereof so the shafts are extended and retracted in response to change in water level.
Claims5
Mooring means to secure a floating object at a relatively fixed location on the surface of a body of water including at least one vertically extending shaft means which extends upwardly above the surface of the water, ring-like float means composed of split sections so said shaft means can be received between the split sections of said ring-like float means regardless of the height of said shaft means, fastener means to releasably hold said split sections together whereby said ring-like float means are attached to said shaft means above said surface of a body of water and wherein said shaft means is telescoping shaft means to be extended and retracted in response to the position of said ring-like float means as said ring-like float means moves upwardly or downwardly on said surface of said body of water such that said shaft means is extended and retracted in response to change in the water level of said surface of a body of water thereby maintaining a portion of said ring-like float means on said surface of said body of water.
Mooring means to secure a floating object at a relatively fixed location on the surface of a body of water including at least one vertically extending shaft means extending upwardly above the surface of the water, ring-like float means composed of split sections so said shaft means can be received through the split sections of said ring-like float means regardless of the height of said shaft means, fastener means to releasably hold said split sections together in mutual relation whereby said ring-like float means are attached to said shaft means above said surface of a body of water and wherein said shaft means is a telescoping shaft means to be extended and retracted in response to the position of said ring-like float means so said shaft means is extended and retracted in response to change in water level to maintain a portion of said float means on the surface of said water and including base means to rest on the bottom of said body of water wherein said base means includes ring means surrounding said shaft means and connected thereto by rod means.
