Abstract
An automobile mounted winch having a clutch-brake assembly comprising a disc shaped ratchet plate positioned between two friction shoes, acting as a clutch in one direction and a speed governor in another direction, and a stationary brake. A plurality of friction buttons extend through the ratchet plate in a generally circular pattern, with each button engaging both shoes. Each button has an expanded head portion, and the buttons are oppositely arranged in an alternating pattern to centrally locate the ratchet between the two shoes and provide proper frictional engagement of the buttons with the shoes.
