ABSTRACT:
A winch mounted to an automobile bumper and having a cable winding drum supported between a main drive housing and an oppositely positioned idler housing. The drive housing connects to the bumper braket by means of a pair of convexly curved mounting lugs which permit limited angular movement of the drive housing with respect to the bumper. The idler housing has a flat mounting surface which fits flush against the bumper bracket surface to prevent such angular movement. Upon distortion or misalignment of the bumper braket, the drum is able to shift angularly with respect to the idler housing, while the other end of the drum maintains a fixed angular relationship with its bearing means in the main drive housing, which is in turn able to shift angularly with respect to the bumper bracket.
