ABSTRACT:
A mooring device adapted for removably attaching a watercraft to a dock is provided. The mooring device comprises an upright pivot shaft having a T-shaped handle on one end and a T-shaped locking bar on the other end. A biasing spring, clevis and tension plate are also mounted on the shaft intermediate the ends, with the T-shaped locking bar being rigidly affixed to the end of the pivot shaft. The tension plate is biased toward the T-shaped locking bar by the biasing spring, with the biasing spring bearing against one side of a support affixed to the upright pivot shaft. One arm of the clevis rests against an opposite side of the support with the other arm of said clevis spaced from the T-shaped handle. The T-shaped handle is firmly affixed to the end of said upright pivot shaft opposite the end having the T-shaped locking bar. The shaft of the mooring device has a locking element associated therewith for lockably attaching the mooring device to the docking platform.
