The anchor comprises a shank and a rocker which is mounted in the vicinity of one end of the shank to pivot about an axis perpendicular to the shank and to the rocker and which has two equal branches constituting the arms of the anchor. Each arm carries at its free end a ploughshare whose convergent end portion faces the other end of the shank. The convex faces of the two ploughshares are disposed in confronting relation. In operation, the anchor operates in the same way as conventional so-called "plough" anchors in hard grounds, whereas the two ploughshares sink into and simultaneously operate in very soft grounds.
An apparatus and method for anchoring a buoyant device are provided. The apparatus preferably includes first and second plates adjoined along a common line. An end of the second plate is transversely connected to an end of the first plate along the common line and extends inwardly therefrom at a predetermined angle so that the first and second plates in combination define an angled plate member. A shank is pivotally connected to a medial portion of the angled plate member and extends outwardly therefrom. At least one prong member is connected to and extends outwardly from the outer surface of each of the first and second plates of the angled plate member.
An apparatus and method for anchoring a buoyant device are provided. The apparatus preferably includes first, second, and third plates adjoined along a common line. An end of the second plate is transversely connected to an end of the first plate along the common line and extends inwardly therefrom at a predetermined angle so that the first and second plates in combination define an angled plate member. A third plate is adjoined along the common line and extends outwardly therefrom in a different direction from the angled plate member. A shank is pivotally connected to a medial portion of the angled plate member and extends outwardly therefrom. At least one prong member is connected to and extends outwardly from the outer surface of each of the first and second plates of the angled plate member.
An assembly used in connection with an anchor, whereby, on use, the anchor comprises one or more endpieces (2) meant to penetrate into the bottom, a shank (1) from the endpiece, and fitted to the shank end a fixing holding block (8) furnished with a hole for the pulling element of the anchor. The mounting holding block (8) or similar of the pulling element is fitted to piece (9) movable along shank so that on anchoring the motion of piece (9) from shank (1) end towards endpiece (2) is prevented by a blocking arrangement (7,11) between shank (1) and the piece and lifting the anchor on use the impact of the locking arrangement is eliminated.
