Abstract
A winch line retainer for attaching the winch line to a winch drum may be formed as a strap defining a first retention loop at a first lateral end of the strap, a second retention loop at a second lateral end of the strap, and a mid-section that connects the first retention loop and the first lateral end and the second retention loop at the second lateral end. A method for attaching a synthetic rope winch line to a winch drum using the winch line retainer is further disclosed.
Claims11
A winch line retainer comprising
- a strap defining
- a first fixed-length retention loop at a first lateral end of the strap;
- a second fixed-length retention loop at a second lateral end of the strap;
- and
- a mid-section that fixedly connects the first retention loop at the first lateral end and the second retention loop at the second lateral end to provide a separation distance between the first retention loop and the second retention loop, the mid-section further comprising a surface configured for fastening the winch line retainer to a winch drum, and an adhesive positioned on the surface.
A winch line retainer for attaching a winch line to a winch drum, the winch line retainer comprising
- a strap configured to attach a winch line to a winch drum and having
- a first fixed-length retention loop at a first lateral end of the strap;
- a second fixed-length retention loop at a second lateral end of the strap;
- a mid-section that fixedly connects the first retention loop at the first lateral end and the second retention loop at the second lateral end to provide a separation distance between the first retention loop and the second retention loop, and
- an elastomeric separation band sleeved over the mid-section.
A winch line retainer for attaching a synthetic winch line to a winch drum, the winch line retainer comprising
- flat woven webbing with a first retention loop at a first end of the winch line retainer opposite a second retention loop at a second end of the winch line retainer and a center positioned between the first end and the second end;
- a fastened first end of the webbing folded away from the first end and towards the center of the webbing and fastened to the center of the webbing to form the first retention loop;
- a fastened second end of the webbing folded away from the second end and towards the center of the webbing and fastened to the center of the webbing to form the second retention loop, wherein the fastened second end is positioned at a distance away from the fastened first end to form the center;
- and
- an elastomeric separation band sleeved over the center of the webbing.
