<p>An anchoring mechanism for a guide post (1) often used on seabed frames. Normally four replaceable posts (1) are mounted on the seabed frame at certain intervals. From the top of the posts (1) a wire (3) is leading to the surface. By means of the wires (3) equipment can be lowered down to the seabed frames. By means of the present invention an anchoring mechanism is provided which is of a simpler construction and can thus be produced at lower costs. The anchoring mechanism comprises a sleeve formed guide post lock (5) which is movable inside the guide post (1) and which can lock the guide post (1) to the funnel (2) of the seabed frame by means of lower lockpins (7) passing through lower, radial bores in the guide post (1). By means of an anchor lock (4) for the wire (3) the guide post lock (5) can first be raised somewhat enabling the lockpins (7) to be moved radially inwards. The anchor lock (4) is now also able to raise the guide post (1) via upper lockpins (6) in axial slots (8) in the guide post lock (5) passing through upper, radial bores in the guide post (1), in that the lower lockpins (7) are pressed inwardly by means of the lower bevelled edge of the funnel (2).</p> |
