Patent GB-2531791-A (GB)
Title: A.R.M.S link
Inventor: LEE DEARING
IPC: B63B21/20
Filed: 2014-10-30
Abstract: A mooring line comprises attachment means at either end (see figure 6 items 1 and 6) and a line or rope 12 coiled into a series of daisy chain loops. The loops act to reduce the overall length of the line in normal use. Each daisy chain loop is constrained using a cable tie 11. A heat shrinkable cover 13 may be fitted over the series of loops. In normal use the mooring line is attached to a berth and to the moored boat. The cable ties hold the loops in situ. In the event of a flood, or the like, the tensile forces acting on the line increase and may cause the cable ties to break. As the cable wraps snap the daisy chain links unravel and the line lengthens. This allows the boat to move with respect to the fixed mooring thereby reducing the likelihood of the boat capsizing. Varying the number and size of cable ties alters the breaking strength of the loops.
