ABSTRACT:
A manually powered fish tape reel attachment apparatus which is used in combination with a conventional fish tape reel for pulling electrically insulted wires through a conduit. The apparatus comprises a frame member with a fixed handle at one end and a tubular member at the other end. An internal hub member is mounted in the middle of the frame member such that the fish tape reel will be fitted thereon and will be rotated by the internal hub member. The fish tape itself is fed through the tubular member. The frame member has a ratchet mechanism which is a ratchet type device attached to a gear mechanism which is attached to the internal hub around which the fish tape reel fits. The ratchet mechanism can be rotated and due to the ratcheting effect of the ratchet, can create excess pressure and force on the rotational motion. In an alternative embodiment, the hub member is mounted onto a crank axle which in turn is mounted on bearings attached to the frame member. Cranks with handles are positioned on opposite ends of the crank axle to rotate the hub in a bicycle pedalling motion.
