Abstract
A winch drive assembly comprises a motor-driven winch drive (1) drivably engageable with a winch (11) and a laterally-outwardly extending member (4) attached to the winch drive (1), the laterally-outwardly extending member (4) being engageable with a stop for hindering or preventing rotation of the winch drive (1) during driving of the winch (11).
Claims21
A winch drive assembly comprising a motor-driven winch drive drivingly engageable with a winch, and a laterally-outwardly extending member attached to the winch drive, the laterally-outwardly extending member being engageable with stop means for hindering or preventing rotation of the winch drive during driving of the winch, wherein the stop means is independent of the winch.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the laterally-outwardly extending member is substantially L-shaped.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the laterally-outwardly extending member comprises at least two parts.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the laterally-outwardly extending member is detachable from the winch drive.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the laterally-outwardly extending member has retaining means for holding the laterally-outwardly extending member against the stop means.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the winch drive includes a self-tailing device.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the bit is attached to the winch drive.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the winch drive is battery driven.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the winch drive has means for reversing the direction of drive of the bit thereby changing the speed of the winch in use.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the winch drive has a torque and/or speed control.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the laterally-outwardly extending member may be raised to enable the winch to be driven in the manner of a windlass.
A winch drive assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the winch drive is controlled remotely.
A winch drive assembly substantially as herein described with reference to any one of the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
