Abstract: An arrangement in connection with an azimuth propeller for ships to measure the angle between the rotational axis of the propeller and the longitudinal axis of the ship (azimuth angle), and the angle of attack of the propeller blades. The azimuth propeller comprises a first housing (1) which is firmly connected with the ship, and a second housing (2) which is rotatably mounted in first housing (1). A first drive shaft (6) extends through the first housing and is connected with a drive shaft (11) of a propeller (13) with variable pitch blades (14), said drive shaft extending at an angle to the first drive shaft. A first rod (31) extends through propeller shaft (11) and is in connection with the propeller blades and is movable with them.

Abstract: A fluid activated cable locking device for cable, chain, wire, tow etc. particularly for securing an anchor chain, pendant wire or the like on board a marine vessel, comprising a preferably cylindrical housing, in which housing a preferably hydraulic jack is arranged substantially axially, said jack having a cylinder rigidly connected with the housing, and a piston rod connected with a jaw means having a pair of locking jaws that are moved towards/from one another by extracting/withdrawing the piston rod from/into the jack cylinder. The housing with the jaw means and the jack is mounted vertically displaceable in a correspondingly shaped cylindrical well, such as in a vessel deck structure. The vertical displacing movement is carried out by means of additional jack means connected between the jaw housing and the deck structure so the locking jaw means can be stored under the deck lever when not in use.
