Abstract: Device for a tow pin to lead a cable, such as a chain, wire, hawser, etc., onboard a vessel, comprising a number of cylinders that can be hoisted and lowered, where each of the cylinders comprises a rotary stopping element, facing each other, to prevent that the cable runs out of the tow pin. Said stopping element can be turned outwards with the help of a piston arrangement arranged in the cylinder, and that the stopping element can be turned outwards in the whole of the working area of the tow pin.

Abstract: Winch especially a ship's winch designed for mooring, hauling, towing and the like. A control system adapted to establish a desired tension in the hawser via the drum of the winch by regulating the power of the drive motor so as to pacify or mitigate peak tensional loads on the hawser. A regulatable transmission arranged between a control member of a control device incorporated in the control system and a movable component selected from the winch drum and its drive shaft to control the control member in a linearly regulatable actuation movement depending upon the movement of the movable component. The transmission is regulatable to an actuation position in which a desired tension is established in the hawser from the winch drum on exposure of a desired length of the hawser.
