Abstract
Provided is an apparatus for tightening wire, including: a housing (); a spool () mounted to the housing to wind a wire; a winder () that engages with the spool to wind the wire or disengages from the same to unwind the wire; a ratchet () that allows axial rotation in one direction in which the wire is tightened; a spiral cam () where the winder and the ratchet are mounted; and a dial () mounted to the spiral cam to axially rotate the winder. The apparatus provides an engagement and disengagement structure that allows the spool and the winder to engage or disengage, so that, by forward and backward rotations, only the wire is wound when the spool and the winder engage and the wire is unwound when the spool and the winder disengage, thereby allowing the winding and unwinding of the wire by simple forward and backward rotating operation.
