Patent number: 11971391Abstract: An in-situ bollard tester. The in-situ bollard tester may comprise: a frame, cable, and tensioner. The frame is preferably adapted to mount onto a pier or wharf and around a bollard to provide structural support for the cable and tensioner. The frame may comprise a rectangular frame, pair of hanging columns, pair of jacks and pair of legs. The pair of jacks are coupled near proximal corners of the rectangular frame and are vertically disposed. The hanging columns are coupled near distal corners of the rectangular frame. The pair of legs are coupled at the lower ends of the hanging columns and are disposed in a horizontal manner. The tensioner may be coupled above the rectangular frame. The cable may fasten to the bollard, and the tensioner may apply tension to the cable at various load angles in order to test the integrity of the bollard.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Gerritt E. Lang, Elaina Ryan, Juan Carrillo, Ricardo Contreras, Zachary Harwood, Benjamin Hulbert, Dennis Michael How, Timothy Paul Kurtin, II
