Abstract: An open ocean moor is disclosed for use at comparatively shallow ocean depths. The moor consists of a buoy floating on the surface which is fastened to an anchor on the bottom by means of a flexible tether formed of a plurality of linked sections of highly elastic material such as rubber of relatively large crosssectional area. The elastic sections are formed with heavy loops or eyelets at each end, and adjoining sections are connected by means of a link formed of two mating double grommet assemblies which, preferably, are also formed of mating configuration with respect to the loops to minimize stress concentrations. An electrical cable which is connected to various underwater instruments extends from the buoy to the anchor. This cable is supported on the flexible tether line by means of separate cable clamps on the links. A substantial amount of slack must be maintained in the electrical cable to allow for stretching during periods of high wave action without danger of pulling the cable taut. The electrical cable is fastened to the anchor and to the buoy by means of cable termination devices of a type known in the art.

Abstract translation: 一个开放的海洋沼泽被公开在比较浅的海洋深处使用。 该悬浮体由漂浮在表面上的浮标组成，该浮标通过由诸如具有较大横截面积的橡胶的高弹性材料的多个连接部分形成的柔性系绳固定在底部的锚固件上。 弹性部分在每个端部形成有重的环或孔眼，并且相邻的部分通过由两个配合的双重索环组件形成的连接部连接，该连接部优选地也相对于环形成配合构型，以使应力集中最小化 。 连接到各种水下仪器的电缆从浮标延伸到锚。 该电缆通过链路上的单独的电缆夹在柔性系绳线上支撑。 电缆中必须保持大量的松弛，以便在高波浪作用期间进行拉伸，而不会拉动拉绳的危险。 电缆通过本领域已知的类型的电缆终端装置固定在锚固件和浮标上。
