United States 3,041,639 MULTIPLE BOAT ANCHORAGE Gerald D. Atlas, 2940 W. Balmoral, Chicago, Ill. Filed July 6, 1959, Ser. No. 825,299
' 7 Claims. (Cl. 9-8) My invention relates to a multiple boat anchorage.
It is the common practice of today to provide individual anchor buoys for boats of various sizes. In providing such individually anchored buoys, considerable space between the buoys is required because of the fact that the anchored boat will shift circularly about the buoy, and if such ample spacing is not provided, the boats may become damaged by virtue of rubbing or bumping against each other during such shifting under various conditions such as waves, wind or the like.
The objects of my invention is to provide a boat anchorage in which a plurality of boats may be anchored from a single buoy and be prevented from coming into contact with each other under the conditions hereinbefore stated, the buoys occupying a space equivalent to that which would normally be required for a single boat anchorage as heretofore stated.
Another and equally important object of my invention is to provide a boat anchorage in which a plurality of boats are anchored from a single buoy and in which there is provided an arrangement for resisting rotation of the boat anchorage by wind, waves or the like, while at the same time preventing the boats from coming into contact with each other.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings showing the preferred form of construction, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the invention showing a plurality of boats in anchored position;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of my invention;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the invention.
The preferred embodiment of my invention is in the form shown in the drawings. The invention comprises a buoy 10 of cylindrical and elongated formation and formed of such material as will give it proper buoyancy. The buoy 10 carries a rope or cable 10' secured to a suitable anchor (not shown) which may be of any desired design and of sufficient weight to maintain the buoy in a fixed position.
Extending from the buoy 10' are elongated arms 11 which may be cylindrical in cross section or any other desired shape. These arms 11 are secured to the buoy 10 to extend laterally therefrom in any suitable and desired manner. 4
Depending from each arm 11 is an apron 12 preferably formed of such material as will give it proper buoyancy. In the present instance, these aprons 12 are substantially rectangular in elevation and have formed therein perforations 13 which permit the'passage of water, thereby to reduce the force or pressure of the water against the apron. The apron extends downwardly from its respective arm 11 and is secured thereto in any approved and desired manner. The edge portion 14 of the apron may, if desired, be secured to the adjacent side of the buoy The aprons 12 are spaced equally from each other by means Patented July 3, 1962 18 designed to serve as bufliers or bumpers to prevent damage either to the arms 11 or the boat arranged-between the aprons. As the arms 11 extend radially from the buoy 10, they form, together with the aprons 12, slips 19 into which the boats 20 are positioned.
To complete the invention, suitable belaying pins or fasteners 21 are provided on the arms 11 and the stated, are perforated as shown, thus allowing a certain of the tie bars 15 formed of such material as will best serve the purpose. Such aprons may be reinforced by reinforcing strips 16. The vertical edges of the aprons beneath the buoy 10 are secured together by spacing bars 17.
Each arm 11 has at spaced intervals resilient collars amount of water to pass through without destroying their effectiveness as baffles or guards.
A boat anchorage constructed in accordance with the description herein set forth will provide individual boat slips for a plurality of boats, permitting a plurality of boats of the same or various sizes to be anchored to a common buoy within a minimum space Without damage to the boats. The form and design of my invention may be changed according to requirements and the material used may be such as will best serve the purpose.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus describedmy invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. A boat anchorage comprising a buoy having an anchor chain depending therefrom in axial alinement therewith, elongated arms extending radially from said buoy so as to lie in a substantially horizontal plane above the water level, bafile means carried by said arms and extending downwardly therefrom and providing together with said arms a plurality of slips radially disposed about said buoy;
2. A boat anchorage comprising a buoy having an anchor chain depending therefrom in axial alinement therewith, elongated arms extending radially from said buoy so as to lie in a substantially horizontal plane above the water level, baffle means carried by said arms and extending downwardly therefrom and providing together with said arms a plurality of slips radially disposed about said buoy, said batlle means each comprising rectangularly shaped perforated aprons.
3. A boat anchorage comprising a buoy having an anchor chain depending therefrom in axial alinement therewith, elongated arms extending radially from said buoy so as to lie in a substantially horizontal plane above the water level, baffle means carried by said arms and extending downwardly therefrom into the water and pro- .viding together with said arms a plurality of slips radially disposed about said buoy, said baffle means each comprising rectangularly shaped perforated aprons, and means for maintaining said aprons in spaced relation with respect to each other.
4. A boat anchorage comprising a buoy having an 7 said buoy, and bumper collars carried by each of said arms in spaced relation with respect to each other.
5. A boat anchorage comprising a buoy having an anchor chain depending therefrom in axial alinement therewith, elongated arms extending radially, from said' shaped perforated aprons, and bumper collars carried by each of said arms in spaced relation with respect to eachother. i
6. A boat anchorage comprising a buoy having'an anchor chain depending therefrom in axial alinement therewith, elongated arms extending radially from said buoy soas to lie in a substantially horizontal plane above the water, level, bafiie means carried by said arms and extending downwardlythere'from into the Water and providing together with said arms a plurality'of slips radially ing rectangularly shaped perforated aprons, means for 20 disposed about'said buoy, said bafiie means each comprismaintaining said aprons in spaced relation with respect to each other, and bumper collars carried by each of said arms in spaced relation with respect to each other.
7. A boat anchorage comprising a buoy, an anchor chain extending downwardly from said buoy in axial alignment therewith, elongated arms extending radially from said buoy so as to lie in substantial horizontal plane above the water level to provide substantially triangularly shaped 'boat slips concentrically about said buoy, and means carried by each of said arms to facilitate anchoring a boat in each of said slips.
