  • Patent number: 7066103
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mooring line connector system for connecting and disconnecting lines, comprising: a female connector body (1) defining an internal receptacle and defining spaced male connector body (21) surfaces defining an axially male connector receiving opening (13); the female connector (1) having at least three substantially cylindrical subparts (5, 7) being integral with said connector body (1) and a line connecting end (2); a male connector body (21) having at least three substantially cylindrical subparts (25, 26, 29) and a line connecting end (22); the female connector subparts (5, 7) being in substantial conformity with the male connector body subparts (25, 26, 29); the male connector body (21) being rotatable in relation to the female connector body (1) to bring shoulders (14, 28) present on each female and male body in contact, or out of contact, respectively, with each other.

  • Patent number: 6350077
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a clamping joint for joining a ramification line (15) to an anchoring wire (13), comprising a clamping mechanism comprising two halves (18) split in the longitudinal direction of the wire, which clamping mechanism clamps around the wire via one in each half provided wire channel half (20), whereby the wire channel (20) formed by the two halves is such dimensioned that it is in a position mounted around the wire (13) provides an interspace which is filled by a deformable insert (21) provided in said interspace for locking the clamping mechanism with regard to rotation around the wire, and that the clamping mechanism is provided with a sliding surface for a shackle (24) being arranged around the clamping mechanism which shackle forms a fastening point for a ramification line (15).
