Abstract:
A portable winch includes a base plate which is adapted to be quickly and easily coupled with and uncoupled from a bracket attached to a utility pole. The base plate hangs on the bracket and requires no tools or clamps to maintain the connection. The base plate and bracket have cooperating portions which stabilize the base plate in its operating position and prevent rocking, swinging or swaying. The winch can be supported so that the winch cable drops either on the outside or inside of the drum, thus to change the spacing of the cable from the pole. The control means for operating the winch can be carried on the basket of an aerial boom by a bracket which hangs on the lip of the basket. The bracket includes a support tongue on which the winch can be hung during its travel to and from the pole. Alternately, the winch can be powered by a hand drill detachably coupled with the winch drive and held by a worker in the basket.
