ABSTRACT:
There is described a winch lock assembly which serves to cinch a sack and its contents closed, thereby locking said contents inside said sack, and at the same time, containing the cinch cord within the winch lock assembly. The winch lock includes a crank assembly, to hand-wind the cinch cord on a shaft inside said winch lock body. When said cinch cord is adequately wound up in order to close the cinch sack, additional force may be applied to said cord with the thumb and index finger of the hand, without said cord unwinding between said torque strokes, due to the clutch-breaking effect of the wound-up cord inside said winch lock body. The crank handle is pivotally mounted on a crank assembly, so as to be folded into crank assembly, thereby locking the crank assembly to said winch lock body.
This is accomplished by a locking surface on the crank handle that moves into slots cut into the winch lock body when said handle is folded into the crank assembly. Also, to insure that the crank handle remains in the locked position, there is a means associated with the crank handle assembly, a locking lug to secure a spring loaded crank handle bearing into the locked position. The cinch cord and the double locking mechanism are all self-contained into a single unit, and the winch lock assembly is reusable. This invention has utility in packaging and storing, or in mailing facilities, especially where goods are stored or shipped in huge quantities. Also provided is a means to secure a name/address plate on the winch lock body.
