20110094429 | Vertically varying nautical mooring device - A vertically varying nautical mooring device for automatically adjusting the vertical positioning of a floating vessel relative to a rise or fall in the local water level. The devices provide a vertically adjusting mooring device for a floating vessel comprising a pair of horizontally extending attachment brackets for supporting at least one elongated vertical support shaft at some distance from a support structure (such as a piling) wherein the support shaft is suspended in a vertical orientation between the attachment brackets and wherein a generally toroidally and symmetrically shaped slide which fits about the elongated vertical support shaft such that the slide is able to rotate about and move vertically along the elongated vertical support shaft. | 04-28-2011 |
20110297067 | Watercraft Stabilizing Device for Boarding or Exiting - An apparatus for stabilizing a watercraft for boarding or exiting comprising an elongated cradle arm support member for attaching vertically to a docking structure and a cradle arm for attaching to the cradle arm support member, in which the cradle arm has a generally V-shaped upper surface for cradling the under surface of a watercraft, restricting roll. The cradle arm is adjustably connecting the cradle arm support member, for selectively fixing the arm to the cradle arm support member in one of a range of vertical positions to accommodate changing water levels. | 12-08-2011 |
20130167764 | WATERCRAFT MOORING STANDOFF - A portable bracket is removably attached to a structure, such as a tree, for the purpose of relieving the strain on a hunter who is holding and aiming their firearm. A bracket comprising a back plate and a horizontal plate is secured to a tree using a strap and binder arrangement. The firearm support is portable and lightweight and maybe useful for other purposes within a campsite, such as holding a lantern and a like. | 07-04-2013 |
20130276690 | Boat Anchor - A boat anchor is described and which includes a fixture, which is releasably secured to a cleat that is mounted on a boat; an adjustable arm moveably mounted to the fixture and which has a distal end; a channel member mounted on the distal end of the adjustable arm and which defines a passageway; and an elongated anchor rod which is received in the passageway and which further has a distal end which is operable to engage an underwater surface, which is located near the boat, and wherein the adjustable arm maintains the boat at a predetermined distance from the anchor rod. | 10-24-2013 |
114230170 | Of extensible length | 5 |
20080314304 | SPRING LINE ASSEMBLY - A mooring device including two telescoping tubes, a pair of ropes for securing a boat to a dock or piling, and a spring biasing the ropes and/or tubes with respect to one another to adjust to changes in waves and/or tides, while maintaining the boat at a safe distance from the dock or piling. | 12-25-2008 |
20090139439 | PORTABLE BOAT MOORING SYSTEM - A portable boat mooring system is provided that includes a base removably or non-removably attached to a pier. An arm assembly can extend from the base outwardly beyond an edge of the pier. A mooring line that has a resiliently flexible portion thereof attaches a boat to the system while mooring the boat to the pier and maintaining a space therebetween. A tool-less hardware assembly can be utilized which allows users to manually install the base to the pier while they remain on top of the pier or above an upper surface of the pier during the entire installation. An anchoring device can selectively hold the mooring line at a predetermined length or state of tension. | 06-04-2009 |
