Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8102413A1] Anchor line damping device known as a clump weight; the device is attached to the anchor line 6b) and is located on the sea bed upline of the anchor. The clump weight maintains the anchor line horizontal at high line tension but limits excess line tension to avoid cable breakage. The clump weight of the present invention comprises an elongate flexible sheet metal plate (2) on which are mounted suitable weights (7) with cable attachment means (3) at each end of the plate, and this structure provides economies over previous clump weights which comprised multiple strands of heavy chain or a series of articulated weight members.
