| 释义 |
Line throwers are devices for throwing lines to remote positions. They have a long history, and are used in a variety of situations. HistoryIn 1791 John Bell proposed a system to launch a line from a ship in distress to the shore, but this does not seems to have ever been implemented. In the early 19th century however, a range of shore-based systems were developed and deployed for the rescue of sailors from stranded ships—a serious problem in the age of sail and before modern navigation and communication systems. Examples include:
Modern systemsModern rocket-based systems are a common choice for vessels that require a line-throwing apparatus to meet SOLAS requirements,[1] but in the late 1980s, pneumatic line throwers were invented and are preferred in many instances. Shoulder-fired line-throwing guns are available, and there are also slingshot-based systems. See also
