    摘要: A buoy and mooring system provides a robust buoy protective of markings thereon, easily retrieved for inspection and service, weighted and levered for maintaining self-righting, vertical orientation and anchored with a non-corroding system of connectors and links running from surface to sea floor. A mid-line float resists entanglement, and can be installed or uninstalled by operation of various “worm grip” mechanisms. A slack line region accommodates changing tides. An upright tube, weighted at a lower end and flanged at an upper end thereof, secures a buoy in place but pulls up through the buoy for easy retrieval by boat crews. Embedding an anchor is by hydraulic water jet drilling. From a thimble in the anchor to a thimble in the upright at the buoy, no intervening metal components are needed in the load path. Markings are durably and protectively embedded in recesses below the buoy's outer surface.

    摘要: A mooring system provides an anchor, imbedded in a sea floor from which arises a line to a mid-line float resisting entanglement by operation of a “worm grip” providing a tortuous path without exceeding permissible working loads nor reducing the tension capacity of the line. A slack region accommodates changing tides, before entering into an upright tube weighted at a lower end and flanged at an upper end thereof to secure a buoy in place. The embedded anchor is driven into the sea bed by hydraulic water jet drilling. From a thimble in the anchor to a thimble in the upright at the buoy, no intervening metal components are needed in the load path. Markings are durably and protectively embedded in recesses below the buoy's outer surface.
