    Patent number: 4473916
    Abstract: A gangway designed to extend between a pair of relatively movable bodies (2, 50), such as an off-shore field rescue vessel and a rig or platform has a series of telescopic platforms (36, 37) defining a substantially planar walk-way surface and linked by a lazy-tong form of coupling (17, 18, 19, 20). By this means velocity variations between one region of the walk-way and the next can be kept small despite rapid variations in the overall length of the gangway.
