  • Publication number: 20210229779
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a toggle 1 for rigging of a boat or a crane, comprising a first coupling end 100 comprising a first coupling means 110 having a first axis of engagement 120 and a second coupling end 200 comprising a second coupling means 210 having a second axis of engagement 220. The first and the second coupling means 100, 200 are arranged a distance apart from each other. A closed-loop connecting means 300 is made from a fibre-reinforced plastic. The closed-loop connecting means 300 is looped about the first axis of engagement 120 and about the second axis of engagement 220, mechanically interconnecting the first coupling means 110 with the second coupling means 210.

  • Patent number: 6464811
    Abstract: Lamellar, fibre-reinforced plastic strips can be used to reinforce a linearly expanded or flat construction part having a support function against any bending stress to which it is exposed. The strips are usually applied to the construction from the outside, or from the inside in the case of hollow structures, and fixed by an adhesive. The lamellar strips are pretensed with a tensioning device, treated with adhesive in a pretensed state, and then moved to the area to be treated together with the tension device. The tension device is provisionally fixed to the construction with displaceable fixing devices and pressed against said construction. Thereafter the lamellar strips are pressed against the construction by means of an air bag or air hose until the adhesive has hardened.
