ABSTRACT:
A vacuum operated mooring device consisting of a telescopic and lockable connecting arm, to connect and hold apart at a distance, one boat from another or a boat from a dock. At both extremities of the connecting arm are single and multiple axes connected to manually operated vacuum devices that produce a continuous supply of vacuum, within limits, and supply the vacuum to rubber suction cups attached to the boats. By means of the multiple axes extremities of the mooring device, these suction cups can be connected to a multitude of connecting points, either on the side of the hull or on top of the deck of the boat. By the unique use of the vacuum device and rubber suction cups there is no need to have permanent brackets installed on any boat that this device is to be used upon, thus the vacuum device and vacuum cups of this invention allow for quick and easy installation and removal.
