20080302080 | CABLE/HOSE HAULAGE CHAIN - A housing module ( | 12-11-2008 |
20090133375 | Chain with Protection Device - A chain includes a chain unit. The chain unit includes a pair of first and second plate units, a link pin extending in an inner-to-outer direction, and a protective member. Each of the first and second plate units includes two chain plates adjacent to and arranged in the inner-to-outer direction and having an inner side surface. The inner side surfaces of the first and second plate units face each other. The link pin interconnects the plate units to define a between-plate space between the inner side surfaces of the first and second plate units. The protective member extends integrally from the topside of at least one of the chain plates of the first chain plate, is spaced apart from the second chain plate, and has a shielding portion for covering at least a portion of an upper end of the between-plate space. | 05-28-2009 |

20100257836 | MARINE SAFETY DEVICE ATTACHMENT WITH AUTOMATIC RELEASE CAPABILITY - A device for fastening emergency equipment to a vessel includes a hydrostatic release mechanism, a tether, and a float-free link. The tether is attached to the hydrostatic release mechanism and provides an attachment point for lashing the emergency equipment to the vessel. The tether may also be threaded through openings in the curved partially tubular body of the float-free link. A breakable bridge is integrally coupled to the body of the float-free link to form a closed loop. The breakable bridge is designed to be the break point when the emergency equipment needs to be freed from a vessel that has sunk below a predetermined depth. When the vessel sinks below the predetermined depth, the hydrostatic release mechanism severs the tether thus freeing the emergency equipment from one point of attachment to the vessel. The bridge is designed to break when the strain on the fastening line, e.g., the painter line, is between a predetermined minimum force and maximum force. | 10-14-2010 |

20120311990 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOOL-LESS RETRACTABLE STORAGE OF LENGTHS OF CABLE CHAIN - Devices and systems for tool-less assembly of cable chains that are capable of being retractably stored. The device comprises a first contact element, a second contact element, and a lengthwise member. The first contact element is adapted for movable contact with a receiving member of a first cable chain segment. The second contact element is adapted for movable contact with a receiving member of a second cable chain segment. The lengthwise member is fixedly attached to the contact elements. When an angle between the first and the second cable chain segments is a first value, the lengthwise member experiences elastic deformation, generating a spring force at each contact element sufficient to pull the receiving member of the first cable chain segment rotatably towards the receiving member of the second cable chain segment, thereby reducing the angle between the first and the second cable chain segments to a second value. | 12-13-2012 |
20130097989 | DEVICE FOR FIXING AN END-SIDE OF A CHAIN - The invention relates to a device for fixing an end-side of a flyer chain, wherein the fixing can be carried out by a clamping through the exertion of a force on partial sections of an outer circumferential surface of at least one plate-link of at least one end-side link of the flyer chain. | 04-25-2013 |
20130160422 | CHAIN HOOK - The present invention provides a chain hook which reduces the risk of disengagement of one or more chains connected thereto. The chain hook comprises an elongate body, a first hook at a first end of the elongate body for connection to a load and a second hook at a second end of the elongate body for connection to at least one chain, wherein the first and second hooks are in different planes. | 06-27-2013 |
20130276422 | MESHING CHAIN STOPPER - Chain detachment and chain entry are avoided, and a process for setting the length of a meshing chain is avoided, while the chain feed length can also be freely changed. A meshing chain stopper ( | 10-24-2013 |
20140338303 | INTERLOCKING CHAIN UNIT - An interlocking chain unit includes a stepped rod that determines the positions of case plates in a pair and those of guide plates relative to each other. The stepped rod has a small-diameter part that passes through passage holes of the guide plates respectively. The stepped rod has opposite end portions fitting in countersunk holes respectively formed in respective inner surfaces of the case plates. The stepped rod has a large-diameter part with a guide plate side step abutting on a rim of the passage hole of the guide plate, and a case plate side step abutting on a rim of the countersunk hole of the case plate. | 11-20-2014 |
