Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016135337A1] A device for handling and towing a submersible object (1) intended to be installed on a vessel (3), comprising - a tilting structure (6) supported by a support (5) and capable of pivoting relative to the support (5) about a first axis (x1) parallel to a plane intended to extend horizontally, said tilting structure (6) being provided with a first guide device (9) for guiding the cable (2), - a pivot link (62) pivoting about a second axis (x2) located in a plane substantially perpendicular to the first axis of rotation (x1), arranged to permit the rotation of a rotating part (61) of the tilting structure (6), relative to the support, said rotating part (61) being provided with the first guide device (9), - a stabilisation device arranged to keep the rotating part (61) of the tilting structure (6) in a deployed position relative to the support (5) as long as a relative pivoting torque between the rotating part (61) and the support (5) about the second axis (x2) is less than or equal to a predefined threshold, and in such a way as to permit the rotation of the rotating part (61), provided with the first guide device (9), relative to the support (5) about the second axis (x2) when a relative pivoting torque between the rotating part (61) and the support (5) about the second axis (x2) exceeds said threshold.
