ANCHOR WINCH Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B63B21/00 

FIELD: anchoring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to equipment for anchoring small boats, namely to anchor winches. The anchor winch comprises a frame, a spool, a shaft connected to a drive, an auto-reset mechanism with a separate drive, a means for engaging the spool with the drive mechanism shaft and a braking mechanism. The means for engaging the spool with the drive mechanism shaft is made in the form of a coupling, including a pair of coupling halves interacting by means of mutual engagement, one of which is mounted on the spool, and the second on the main shaft of the drive mechanism with the possibility of rotation with the main shaft. The coupling half on the main shaft is mounted with the possibility of reciprocating movement along the mentioned shaft due to the auto-reset mechanism, equipped with a clutch disengagement rod, connected through a longitudinal hole inside the shaft with the said half-coupling and the clutch disengagement lever, pulling when exposed to the auto-reset mechanism drive by means of the clutch disengagement rod said half-coupling until it disengages from the half-coupling mounted on the spool.

EFFECT: increased reliability of the anchor winch.
