ABSTRACT:
An improved winch is provided which is useful in tightening and adjusting ropes, rigging, lines and sheets. The winch includes a rotatable winch member having a central non-circular aperture extending therethrough and a crank member having a shaft portion which has a non-circular cross-section complementary with the shape of the aperture and interengageable therewith so that rotation of the shaft causes rotation of the winch member. A handle member is hinged to the upper end of the shaft portion so as to pivot between an operating position at right angles with the shaft portion to facilitate rotation of the shaft portion and winch member and an inoperative stowable position projecting from the end of the shaft portion in alignment with the axis thereof. The handle portion has a size and configuration so as to fit through the aperture in the winch member so that when it is in an inoperative stowed position the crank member including the handle portion extends downwardly through the aperture in the winch member to its stowed position with only a minimum projection thereabove.
