Guide for ship's anchor - has rollers to grip and align anchor shaft and bring flukes onto support cradle

摘要

The anchor is guided into the securing position by a guide roller (4) at the bows and by upper (11) and lower (13) profiled slightly inboard. The anchor shaft with its transverse bar is guided through the rollers, which also align the shaft to bring the flukes correctly onto the support cradle. - The upper and lower rollers are spaced sufficiently to pass the shaft bar through them parallel to the roller axes.
