ABSTRACT:
A wave powered pumping system of a type adapted for installation in a body of water subject to surface wave motion. A support structure is adapted to be mounted within the body of water, and a float is connected to a reciprocal structure which is movably connected to the support structure for permitting the float to rise and fall upon the water surface in response to wave motion. A load is driven by the reciprocal structure, and apparatus is provided which opposes free movement of the reciprocal structure toward two positional extremes for minimizing the likelihood of damage to the pumping system which would otherwise occur during severe weather conditions.
