  • Anchor/anchor chain monitoring device
    Patent number: 7034680
    Abstract: A device for monitoring the anchor or anchor chain, intended for facilities floating ahead of the anchor, such as ships, comprising a measurement device which determines by one or more sensors the prevailing state at one or more points of an anchor chain or anchor, between the anchor chain and a ship, or between the anchor and the ship, then generates an electrical signal representative of the strength to a transmitter which, upon reception of the signal transmitted by the measurement device, sends a corresponding signal. An alarm system receives the signal sent by the transmitter and triggers an alarm if the measured state exceeds a set value.
