Anchor chain piling falling over

Questions about interior, exterior, plumbing, navigation, electrical etc.
The Tigress thread reminded me of his problem, I have had it happen to me a few times per Murphy, when most inconvenient.
I have read of putting a "traffic cone" or some other Pyramid shape in the bottom of the chain locker but haven't tried it I did put in a PVC tube to convey the chain over the center of the pile from the windlass drop point, that helps but I still get the occasional jam.
Has anyone tried the cone approach did it help? other suggestions?
