ABSTRACT:
A plate-type anchor includes a flat sheet forming a central portion of substantially rectangular shape, provided with lateral flanges with a certain inclination with respect to the plane of the principal sheet, a flange corresponding to the front part of the anchor being of pointed shape while the flange corresponding to the tail of the anchor has a cut-out to allow fitting of a device to be used when it is launched. On its upper face, the anchor is provided with two longitudinally hollowed-out lugs which are mutually parallel and fastened perpendicularly to the face of the flat sheet, and to which the chain cables or mooring cables of the anchor are attached. On the lower face are fastened two longitudinal bars perpendicular to the plane of the face, but forming an acute angle towards the front part of the anchor. The anchor is installed in the sea bed with the aid of a device in the form of a pile, provided, at its lower end, with a device for fastening the anchor, the pile/anchor assembly being launched from a vessel and reaching the sea bed through the action of its own weight.
