Publication number: 20230036999Abstract: An annular seal member comprising a seal body comprising a locating portion locatable against a wall element of an offshore structure, an inner surface, an outer surface and a lip portion that defines an open mouth of the seal member for receiving an elongate element therethrough; wherein the seal body is locatable against the wall element such that when a static pressure acting on the outer surface of the seal body exceeds a static pressure acting on the inner surface of the seal body a net positive pressure is exerted on the outer surface which at least partly deforms inwardly to provide a portion of the seal body for sealing against an outer surface of the elongate element. An offshore structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: C-LING LIMITEDInventor: Gregory Van Hinsbergh

Patent number: 11418016Abstract: A pull-in head assembly (8) for releasably connecting a pulling arrangement (112) to an elongate flexible structure (4, 6). The pull-in head assembly (8) comprises a body (30) which defines a pulling axis X of the pull-in head and a retaining member (32) which is configured to secure the pull-in head assembly (8) to an elongate flexible structure (4, 6) such that a pulling force exerted on the body (30) along the pulling axis X is transferred to the elongate flexible structure (4, 6). The pull-in head assembly (8) is configured such that, in use, the body (30) and the elongate flexible structure (4, 6) are rotatable with respect to each other about the pulling axis X.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: C-LING LIMITEDInventor: Gregory Van Hinsbergh

Patent number: 11411376Abstract: A pull-in head assembly (8) for releasably connecting a pulling arrangement (112) to an elongate flexible structure (4, 6). The pull-in head assembly 8 comprises a pull-in head having a body (30) which defines a pulling axis X of the pull-in head. The body (30) has a front end and a rear end and a bore (48) which extends through the body (30) along the pulling axis X. The bore (48) is configured such that a pulling line (28) can be threaded through the body (30).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: C-LING LIMITEDInventor: Gregory Van Hinsbergh

Patent number: 11404854Abstract: A pull-in head assembly (8) for releasably connecting a pulling arrangement (112) to an elongate flexible structure (4, 6). The pull-in head assembly (8) comprises a body (30) which defines a pulling axis X of the pull-in head assembly (8) and a retaining member (32) arranged around the pulling axis X. The retaining member (32) is configured to secure the pull-in head assembly (8) to an elongate flexible structure (4, 6) such that, in use, a pulling force exerted on the pull-in head assembly (8) along the pulling axis X is transferred to the elongate flexible structure (4, 6). The retaining member (32) is configured to release the pull-in head assembly (8) from the elongate flexible structure (4, 6) when the pulling force exceeds a predetermined threshold such that the pull-in head assembly (8) can be separated from the elongate flexible structure (4, 6).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: C-LING LIMITEDInventor: Gregory Van Hinsbergh
