Abstract:
A safety enclosure for a boat anchor prevents injury to persons moving about in the vicinity of the anchor when the boat is docked. The enclosure has an openable top, a bottom which is flexible along a longitudinal axis, and sides which open at each end of the opening of the top. An aft end of the enclosure defines an opening for receiving the shaft of an anchor on a boat. The enclosure is formed of a sheet of a durable, pliable material and a padding layer sufficiently strong and thick to withstand repeated flexing and continual contact with heavy, sharp metal of an anchor and to prevent serious harm to a person who movingly contacts the enclosed anchor. Such construction permits opening of the enclosure in a clamshell manner for secure, but quick, facile placement of the enclosure around a boat anchor or removal there from.

Claim (Index 1):
A safety enclosure for a boat anchor to prevent injury to persons moving about in the vicinity of the anchor when the boat is docked; the safety enclosure comprising:\n an openable top; a bottom which is flexible along a longitudinal axis of the bottom; a first side extending from the top to the bottom; a second side opposite the first side and extending from the top to the bottom; a first end extending over an area defined by aft edges of the top, the bottom, the first side and the second side; a second end opposite the first end, the second end extending over an area defined by forward edges of the top, the bottom, the first side and the second side; the first end being positioned aft and defining an opening for receiving the shaft of an anchor on a boat, and the second end being positioned forward when the enclosure is in operative position enclosing the anchor of a boat; the safety anchor enclosure being formed of at least one sheet of a durable, pliable material sufficiently strong to withstand repeated flexing and continual contact with heavy, sharp metal of a type forming an anchor of a boat; the at least one sheet of pliable material further being padded thickly enough to prevent serious harm to a person who movingly contacts the safety enclosed anchor; the safety anchor enclosure further having at least one mechanism for securing the enclosure in a closed configuration when the enclosure is in operative position on the anchor of a boat.
