An anchor connection and retrieving device is disclosed. The device is adapted to be interposed between an anchor and one end of an anchor line, the anchor has a shank, a crown and a plurality of tynes or flukes. The device has a locking assembly including a releasable portion, a locking portion relative to which the releasable portion is releasably coupled. One or more release members are movable between a first position which couples the releasable portion to the locking portion and a second position which decouples the releasable portion from the locking portion. The locking portion is connected to the one end of the anchor line and a retrieving line is connected to it and the crown of the anchor. The releasable portion is coupled to the shank of the anchor. A release block may move along the anchor line to engage the release members to decouple the releasable portion from the locking portion.
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.
