Patent ID: 8109222

Claim:
An apparatus for fixing a floating body to a landing body with at least two holding booms which are fixed to respective mooring means by means of fittings functioning as coupling elements, in each case at one end on the floating body and at the other end on the landing body, wherein at least one of the holding booms is fixed, at least at one end, to the respective mooring means by the fitting functioning as a coupling element so as to be rotationally fixed or rotationally resilient about an at least approximately vertical axis with an adjustable and fixable angular offset; wherein the fittings functioning as coupling elements act on the holding booms so as to be adjustable so as to pivot freely about at least approximately horizontal and mutually parallel axes; and wherein at least one fitting per holding boom is adjustable between a coupling position and a rest position so as to be able to pivot about a respective one of the at least approximately horizontal and mutually parallel axes counter to a force of a spring.
