The guiding device (2) according to the invention comprises an essentially U-shaped guiding groove for guiding a first rope (6), two guiding lumens (7) for guiding a closed loop of a second rope (8) for securing the guiding device on a fixed attachment point (9) or on a mobile part to be handled, the two guiding lumens (7) extending on both sides of the plane defined by the guiding groove (5), and a fixation tab (11) of the closed loop of the second rope (8) on the guiding device. The guiding device (2) also comprises first and second passage openings (15) each respectively emerging in one of the guiding lumens (7), each of the first and second passage openings (15) being arranged to allow the insertion of the second rope (8) into the corresponding guiding lumen.

A chain support 11, hinged on two perpendicular axes 5, 6 which allows chain movement in two perpendicular planes. The chain support provides an improved arrangement to allow chain 4 to be pulled through the center of the apparatus to a desired length after which the chain is removably secured to the chain support.

The present invention is a fairlead for guiding and securing an anchor chain between an offshore structure and an anchor. The fairlead comprises a fairlead frame, a pivoting latch, and an actuator. The fairlead frame is pivotally mounted to the offshore structure and supports an axle for a chain sheave. The pivoting latch is mounted to pivot on the axle and comprises a tension link with a chain latch and a counterweight for urging the chain latch into engagement with the chain. The pivoting latch is configured to engage the chain only when the chain is traveling in the payout direction. The actuator controls the action of the counterweight.

An underwater self-aligning fairlead latch device is provided for guiding and securing an anchor chain between an offshore structure and an anchor. The fairlead device includes a latch housing pivotally mounted to a fairlead housing. The latch housing includes one or more latches for securing the anchor chain in place. The fairlead housing includes a bending shoe which guides the anchor chain from its orientation within the bending shoe up the platform column to the deck. The fairlead housing is pivotally mounted to the offshore structure.

An arcuate fairlead for mooring lines has an arcuate row of grooved line-engaging shoes of plastic material which shoes can be removed and replacement shoes can be installed without disassembling the mooring line from the fairlead. The fairlead is of generally triangular shape supported by trunnion and bearing means at its upper tip and adjacent to its apex enabling the fairlead to swing about an upright axis for self-alignment with a stretch of mooring cable beyond the lower tip of the fairlead.

An improved fairlead reduces the problems associated with deploying and rieving a towing cable and its interconnected elongate instrumentation array. A pair of parallel rollers orthogonally disposed to a storage winch reel are spaced apart to present a smooth, protuberance-free surface to accommodate the elongate instrumentation array. A shell coaxially disposed about each of the cylinders is rotated to cover the smooth protuberance-free surfaces and present a pair of abrasion-resistant surfaces when the towing cable is reeled in or payed out. Since it is likely that the abrasion-resistant surface might be scored by the towing cable, rotating the abrasion-resistant surfaces out of the way to expose the protuberance-free accommodating surfaces when the array goes through the fairlead helps reduce the possibility of damage of the elongate instrumentation array during deployment and recovery.

A marine block employs a sheave which is rotatively mounted on an axle supported between a pair of spaced-apart cheek plates. One or more ball bearing units are provided between the axle and the sheave, each unit containing a circular array of ball bearings which engage in circular races which are disposed radially outward from the axis of the axle. Relatively large ports are formed in the cheek plates which are located directly opposite the bearing units whereby a water stream directed through the ports at one side of the block can penetrate around and between the exposed ball bearings and their races and scrub those surfaces free of dirt and film. In a preferred block embodiment, clearance spaces exist radially inboard of the sheave between the bearing units and between the sheave and the cheek plates so that water can travel directly through the block and between the sheave and the cheek plates to further facilitate cleaning the block.

A rotatable fairlead suitable for use in the deployment, control and recovery of anti-pollution booms, comprises two end pieces (1 and 2), two pins, or rollers, 3 and 4, mounted between the end pieces and spaced sufficiently apart that a partially inflated boom may pass between the pins, means for rotating the said end pieces and pins through at least 270.degree. and means for holding them at a given angle of rotation.

A roller chock for a boat. The chock includes an elongated base plate that mounts at the edge of a hull. A curved arm extends upwardly and aft to provide a smooth rubbing surface that is aligned with the general direction of a rode or other line. Spaced from the arm is a roller assembly having a top plate with portions extending forward and toward the center of the boat. A roller rotates with the line if it bends around the roller thereby to minimize wear on the line. The plate and the curved arm capture the line.
