ABSTRACT:
A quick release winch tie down assembly is mounted in the tracks of a ramp of a car hauler vehicle and includes a crank shaft extending from one end through a segmented bearing sleeve, a release shaft connected to said crank shaft in nonrotatable telescopic arrangement, and a tie down sleeve extending about both the release shaft and crank shaft in a space between the bearing sleeve segments. A spring urges lock elements of the tie down sleeve and the release shaft in locking relationship. A tie down chain is connected at one end portion to the tie down sleeve, and a rachet and pawl means limits the rotation of crank shaft to one direction, so that when the crank shaft is rotated it also rotates the release shaft and tie down sleeve and winds the tie down chain about the tie down sleeve, and when the lock elements are disengaged, the tie down sleeve is free to rotate and unreel the tie down chain.
