  • Patent number: 9132890
    Abstract: This socket, intended primarily to be mounted at the end of a mooring cable for an anchoring system of a mobile massive element, comprises a socket body 12 having an internal cavity 14 comprising a guide chamber 34 for the mooring cable 22, an intermediate section 18 and a fastening receptacle 20 intended to receive and block the ends of the strands of the mooring cable 22, and means 30, 30? for coupling with the mobile massive element to be anchored, positioned on the socket body 12 so as to define a pivoting axis 32 of the socket body 12, which axis passes through the intermediate section 18. The use of the socket in anchoring systems, especially in the offshore environment, assures natural self-alignment thereof with the cable on which it is mounted, during the diverse movements by which the anchoring system is affected.
