ABSTRACT:
A hawser hook for use in mooring ships to piers and similar mooring structures includes an anchoring element rigidly connected to a mooring structure, a hub mounted on the anchoring element for rotation thereabout, a hook frame mounted on the hub for pivoting along a plane normal to the mooring structure, a hook member mounted on the hook frame for pivoting between an engaging and a disengaging position, and an arresting arrangement for releasably arresting the hook in its engaging position in which a hawser or a similar mooring line may engage the hook member. The hook frame is supported on the hub in such a manner that it is suspended therefrom in a position in which it is immediately adjacent with spacing from the exposed surface when no external force is applied to the hook member while application of a force abuts the free end of the hook frame against the mooring structure. The support arrangement serving this purpose includes support members one on the frame and another on the hub, and a resilient member intermediate such support portion members, which yields when load is applied to the hook member. An abutment member separate from the hook frame is connected thereto and abuts the mooring structure when the hook member is loaded.
