ABSTRACT:
A device used in conjuction with a standard dock cleat (20) which provides protection from the horizontally protruding horns of the dock cleat and also provides an additional surface for guiding a rope or docking line. The protection is provided by a smooth sloping surface (13) aligned in front of and parrallel to the protruding horn so that a person's foot moving towards the end of the horn is deflected away. The additional guiding surface (12) is positioned opposite the dock cleat's guiding surface so that a person can guide the boat from either direction without removing the rope. On a typical dock cleat, if the boat moves past the cleat it is neccessary to remove the line from the cleat and place it back on the cleat at the other end. Normal installation would require two safety adaptors for each dock cleat, placed on opposite sides of the cleat to provide protection from each horn.
