ABSTRACT:
A fence wire winder for twisting together two strands of wire includes a single-piece handle member with a clearance aperture disposed in one end and a generally cylindrical spindle member extending through this clearance aperture. Secured to this spindle member is a knurled ratchet wheel and secured to the handle member is an engaging, spring-loaded pawl. The action of the pawl relative to the knurled ratchet wheel permits the handle member to be locked to the spindle member so that the two members turn together in a first direction of rotation while in the reverse direction of rotation, the handle member freely moves relative to the spindle member which remains stationary. The spindle member is retained in position by the knurled ratchet wheel on one side and a washer and retaining thimble arrangement on the opposite side. Disposed within the spindle member and extending therethrough is a longitudinal clearance channel for receipt of a first strand of wire. Transverse to this longitudinal clearance channel are two wire-receiving channels for receipt of the second strand of wire which is to be twisted or wound around the first strand. The first strand of wire is disposed substantially coincident with the axis of rotation of the handle member so that it remains stationary, regardless of the direction of rotation. However, the other strand of wire turns with the spindle and such turning wraps this other strand of wire around the first strand.
