DEVICE AT A SHIP

摘要

The invention relates to a device for a ship (2) which exhibits a pivotally mounted door element (3) so arranged as to function as a door in an upward-pivoted covering position in an opening (4) in the ship (2), and as a ramp in a downward-pivoted position affording passage. A movably supported further ramp component (8) is so arranged as to be capable of displacement between a raised stowed position close to the upper part of the opening and essentially horizontal and perpendicular in relation to the door element (3) and an extended ramp position to permit loading and unloading respectively. The externally situated ramp component (8) is movably supported separated from the door element (3). The invention offers considerable protection against the door (3) suffering damage as a consequence of the ramp being forced inwards against the ship (2), for example in the event of damage to the bow visor/bow doors or in the event of a collision, in that the door (3) has been separated from the ramp (8), and yet it still permits them to interact with one another to form a common vehicular access ramp (10) when necessary.
