Marine tether anchoring device

摘要

A releasable marine tether connection comprises a tether having a segmented spring collet which can be expanded to become trapped in an anchor chamber. A spigot is provided in the base of the chamber which urges the plug upwards relative to the collet when the tether is pushed into the chamber to make the connection. To release the connection tension is removed from the tether and the plug moved down to allow the spring collet to close and move out of the chamber.
