Holding and storage device for mooring rope (1) in which the rope end termination (2, 3, 4, 5) can align itself in the pulling direction radial from the drum barrel surface (9) when the rope (1) is used for mooring, and pivot within allowed angles in height and side direction without bending the rope. When the rope (1) shall be stored, the drum (9) is put in rotation and the end termination (2, 3, 4, 5) is first pivoting approximately 90 degrees against a recess (8) in the drum (9), and further spooling of rope (1) is done in the usual way. A strong bracket (6) which rotates around the drum axis and holds the end termination (2, 3, 4, 5), is a natural part of the holding device. The bracket (6) with bearing brackets (7, 7') and end termination (2, 3, 4, 5) has to be dimensioned according to the breaking load of the rope (1), while the rest of the drum (9) can be dimensioned for spooling of slack rope. |
