Rigging tensioning system for sailing boats, uses set of adjustment parts for fixing between stops on rigging and boat parts

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The adjustment part (11) for the system (1) belongs to a set of these parts and the system is adjusted by fixing a selected adjustment part between two stops. #CMT# : #/CMT# The system comprises a rigging part (20) which can be secured to a rigging section (21) such as a stay and a boat fixture (5) which can be secured to another part (2) of the boat, such as the deck. The rigging part includes a first stop (13, 15) and the boat part includes a second stop (9). An independent claim is also included for a method for tensioning rigging using this system, by providing the system between a rigging section and another part of the boat, fixing at least one adjustment part between two stops in the system in the sideways direction with respect to the tensioning direction and applying a load to the system. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# For tensioning rigging on ships, especially sailing boats. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The system has a relatively simple and cheap design, can be easily adjusted to the desired length using a pair of tongs and no screw thread is placed under strain by the rigging tension, avoiding the problem of the screw thread becoming jammed due to damage, contamination or outside influences (e.g. salt). #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The figure shows a perspective view of the rigging tensioning system. 1 : Rigging tensioning system 2 : Boat deck 5 : Plate-shaped boat fixture 9 : Saddle-shaped stop 11 : Actuator 13 : Saddle 15 : Bolt 20 : Rigging part 21 : Stay.
