Abstract:
A horn cleat deflector assembly uses a pair of bodies to engage the horns of a horn cleat top surfaces engaging the ends of horns, flat surfaces engaging the deck and an angled surface deflecting external objects from fouling the cleat, inner surfaces providing clearance to permit a line to be fastened to the cleat with a lanyard adapted to retain the bodies in position.

Claim (Index 1):
A horn cleat deflector assembly for reducing fouling on a horn cleat having a base and at least one projecting horn with an outer end and a root end, the base being mounted to a structure, the horn cleat deflector assembly comprising:\n a first shoe body having a first lower surface, a first inner surface, a first top surface, first and second side surfaces and a first angled outer surface; said first lower surface contacts said structure; said first inner surface faces said base; said first top surface contacts said horn; said first and second opposed side surfaces substantially perpendicular to said lower surface and said top surface; said first angled outer surface is formed and arranged so that external items moving towards said horn are urged in a direction away from said structure. said first shoe body is formed of a resilient material that compresses and distorts as said top surface contacts said horn and said shoe body is urged in the direction from said outer end and said root end; said first shoe body, when compressed, is retained between said horn and said structure; said first shoe body has a lanyard aperture extending through said body from first and second opposed side surfaces; a lanyard is fitted to said first aperture to urge said as said top surface in contact with said horn as said shoe body is urged in the direction from said outer end and said root end; a second shoe body formed and arranged as a mirror image of said first shoe body; said second shoe body having a second lower surface, a second inner surface, a second top surface, third and fourth side surfaces and a second angled outer surface; said second lower surface contacts said structure; said second inner surface faces said base; said second top surface contacts said horn; said third and fourth opposed side surfaces substantially perpendicular to said lower surface and said top surface; said second angled outer surface is formed and arranged so that external items moving towards said horn are urged in a direction away from said structure. said second shoe body is formed of a resilient material that compresses and distorts as said top surface contacts said horn and said shoe body is urged in the direction from said outer end and said root end; said second shoe body, when compressed, is retained between said horn and said structure; said second shoe body has a lanyard aperture extending through said body from first and second opposed side surfaces; said first shoe body and said second shoe body transversely capturing the horn cleat when horn cleat has two projecting horns being a first projecting horn and a second projecting horn; said first top surface and said second top surface are concave to facilitate contact with the first and second horns; said horn cleat with two projecting horns vertically capturing said first and second shoe bodies between said first and second horns and said structure; said lanyard interconnecting said first and second shoe bodies so as to extend to clear said first and second horns and compressing to urge said shoe and horn engagement; said first angled surface and said second angled surface are aligned at between thirty degrees (30\u00b0) and sixty degrees (60\u00b0) relative to said first and second lower surfaces.
