Abstract:
A boat fender mount which is characterized by a fender mount plate of selected shape and size adapted for receiving a boat fender and a selected number (typically two) of piling plates typically fixed or hingedly attached to the fender mount plate in spaced-apart relationship with respect to each other and having aligned, adjustable piling openings or recesses for securing the fender mount plate and the attached boat fender to a piling. In one embodiment the boat fender is secured to the fender mount plate by mount straps or ties which extend from the boat fender through openings provided in the fender mount plate. In another embodiment the fender mount plate is oval or elliptically-shaped and is capable of receiving the boat fender along the long or short axis, vertically or horizontally, with the boat fender in position over a water body to provide cushioning for boats moored adjacent to the piling. The fender mount plate can also typically be square or rectangular and regardless of shape, may be fitted with slots for receiving belts that extend around the piling to secure the boat fender mount on the piling. The piling plate or plates may each be fitted with hinges and vertically registering openings, as well as a sliding clamp at the respective oversized or elongated openings for receiving the piling and securing the piling plates and boat fender mount on pilings of varying size.
