DOCKING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240043097 titled 'DOCKING APPARATUS AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for docking a boat on a body of water using a pole or shaft mounted on the bed of the water and extending above its surface. The system includes a locking spacer that is slidably connected to the pole. A member, mounted to the boat, has a cavity open at two ends and a slot extending from its outer surface to the inner surface. The boat is maneuvered so that the pole passes through the slot and into the cavity, and then the locking spacer is slid along the pole to lock the member with respect to the pole.

  • The system enables rapid and easy mooring of a boat by sliding the locking spacer along the pole to lock the member with respect to the pole.
  • The member mounted on the boat has a cavity and a slot, allowing the pole to pass through and lock the boat in place.
  • The pole is mounted on the bed of the body of water and extends above its surface, providing a docking mechanism for the boat.

Potential Applications

  • Boat docking systems for marinas and harbors.
  • Temporary docking solutions for boats in open water.
  • Mooring systems for boats in rivers or lakes.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of docking a boat, making it faster and easier.
  • Provides a secure and reliable docking mechanism.
  • Eliminates the need for traditional docking methods such as ropes or anchors.

Benefits

  • Saves time and effort in docking a boat.
  • Reduces the risk of damage to the boat during docking.
  • Provides a versatile docking solution for various types of bodies of water.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for docking a boat on a body of water includes a pole or shaft mounted with respect to the bed of the body of water and extending above the surface of the body of water. a locking spacer is slidably connected to the pole. a member has an outer surface and an inner surface defining a cavity that is open at two ends. the member also defines a slot extending from the outer surface to the inner surface. the member is mounted to a boat. the system enables the rapid and easy mooring of the boat by maneuvering the boat so that the pole passes through the slot and into the cavity. the locking spacer is then slid along the pole until it enters the cavity, thereby locking the member with respect to the pole.
