ABSTRACT:
A cable winch shaft, adapted for rotational mounting adjacent its opposite ends in laterally spaced supports, has an end extension formed as a ratchet gear which is confined in a cavity in a base member also adapted to be secured to one of the supports. An adjacent, communicating cavity in the base member guides the reciprocative movement of a spring-loaded ratchet arm provided at its inner end with a ratchet dog which is urged resiliently into engagement with the gear to secure the winch shaft against rotation in one direction but allowing its rotation in the opposite direction. The opposite end of the arm projects from the base member for manual manipulation, against the resistance of the spring loading, to disengage the dog from the gear and thus release the winch shaft for rotation in both directions. The terminal portion of the gear extension projects through an opening in the base member and is adapted for engagement of a crank by which to rotate the winch shaft, and the intermediate reel portion of the shaft includes means for releasably securing one end of a cable.
