Patent

CA 2233436

An improved detachable mooring system is disclosed of the kind including a rotatable turret mounted on the vessel and a buoyant spider buoy, secured by chains to the sea floor, which may be selectively connected by means of a hydraulic connector to the bottom of the turret. The improvement includes aradial support assembly of the turret within the well at a lower position of the well approximately opposite a connection between the turret and the mooring element. Such lower radial support is self aligning with the turret when the turret's axis is not precisely parallel with the axis of the radial support and when the turret outside surface is not precisely round.

Système d'ancrage funiculaire décrochable amélioré, du type à tourelle rotative montée sur un navire, comprenant une bouée d'amarrage à bras rayonnants, fixée au moyen de chaînes au plancher océanique. Le système d'ancrage peut s'accrocher à la partie inférieure de la tourelle et s'en décrocher. Cette invention se distingue par une tourelle dont l'ensemble de guidage radial est placé plus bas dans le puits de tourelle, approximativement à l'opposé d'un raccord entre la tourelle et le dispositif d'amarrage. Ce guidage radial rabaissé s'aligne automatiquement avec la tourelle lorsque l'axe de cette dernière n'est pas exactement parallèle à l'axe du guidage radial et lorsque la surface externe de la tourelle n'est par parfaitement ronde.
