Abstract
A winch has a drum and drum gear attached thereto. The drum gear is driven by a pinion gear that is attached to an operating shaft which in turn, is attached to an operating handle. The drum side adjacent the drum gear has a plurality of notches which allows the pinion gear to axially slide therethrough to disengage the pinion gear from the drum gear whereby paying out of the rope can be done without spinning of the pinion gear or the operating handle. The pinion gear can remesh with the driving gear by passing through the notch toward its operating position.
