ABSTRACT:
An improved releasable toggle locking mooring hook (10) having a releasable hook (20), toggle linkage (89), a stop/release mechanism (119), a self locking safety latch (126) and a self release mechanism (251) adapted to provide a secure locking mooring hook and a low friction, low effort releasing means while mooring hook is under heavy tensile load. In the mooring of ships, boats and barges to a dock or oil well platform, a line, usually under tension, is run from the ship to a mooring means mounted on the dock or platform. When it is desired that the ship leave this moorage, this mooring means can be actuated manually, mechanically or by a pre-set tensioned self releasing means to release mooring line and thus, allow the ship to sail. This mooring means is identified as a releasable toggle locking mooring hook (10) of this invention.
