ABSTRACT:
In the mooring of ships and boats to a dock or an oil well platform, it is necessary to have a line running from the ship or boat to the dock or platform. The line can be more or less tight and must be fixed so as to allow, relatively, sudden movements of the ship or boat with respect to the dock or platform. Then, when it is time for the ship or boat to sail away from the dock or platform, it is necessary to disengage the line from the fastening means from the dock or platform. This invention relates to a fastening means whereby a line can be positioned to the fastening means for securing the ship or boat adjacent to the dock or platform. Then, the person on the dock or platform can, by means of an electric control, if desirable, at a remote position from the fastening means, actuate the fastening means to allow the line to slip away from its fastening means and also to allow the ship or boat to sail away from the dock or platform. Further, if necessary, the fastening means can be actuated, manually, so as to allow the ship or boat to sail away from the dock or platform. This fastening means is identified as a releasable hook.
