Abstract
A device for operating and anchoring a watercraft in congested and hazardous water areas is provided with a spud assembly for easy operation. A pole is provided for moving a watercraft in shallow water. The pole functions through an operating cylinder connected to a maneuvering ring. The spud assembly has a locking device for locking the maneuvering ring and the operating cylinder against movement in order to anchor the watercraft with the pole.
Claims21
A device for operating and anchoring a watercraft, said device comprising:
- a bracket, said bracket adopted to be connected to said watercraft,
- a maneuvering ring, said maneuvering ring rotatably and universally mounted in a maneuvering ring housing, said maneuvering ring housing mounted on said bracket,
- an operating cylinder, said operating cylinder mounted within said maneuvering ring for rotational and universal movement with said maneuvering ring,
- a pole, said pole mounted within said operating cylinder for operating said cyclinder within said maneuvering ring, and
- locking means, said locking means having a cord for inserting and withdrawing said locking means from said maneuvering ring housing to lock and limit movement of said operating cylinder in said maneuvering ring.
A device for operating and anchoring a watercraft on a body of water having a bottom bed of less than 15 feet from the surface of the water, said device including a pole no greater than 15 feet long, said device comprising:
- a locking means for locking said pole in said bracket, and
- a maneuvering ring housing, said maneuvering ring housing having a maneuvering ring rotatably and universally supporting said pole, said pole operable within said maneuvering ring for universal movement to move said watercraft on the body of water and anchor said watercraft on the body of water by thrusting said pole into the bottom bed.
A device for operating and anchoring a watercraft on a body of water having a bottom bed of less than 15 feet from the surface of the water, said device including a pole no greater than 15 feet long, said device comprising:
- a maneuvering ring housing,
- a maneuvering ring, said maneuvering ring rotationally supported in said maneuvering ring housing,
- an operating cylinder, said operating cylinder connected to said maneuvering ring for
- movement with said maneuvering ring, and
- a locking means for locking said maneuvering ring and said operating cylinder, and said pole, said pole operable within said maneuvering ring for universal movement to move said watercraft on the body of water and anchor said watercraft on the body of water by thrusting said pole into the bed bottom.
