Line Driver Winch

This device replaces the multi-purchase tackle system in a traditional traveler control system with one simple closed loop circuit - similar to a clothesline, but with a mechanical advantage.
It is powered with a regular winch handle and features an efficient, clean layout, that provides more power and control than a traditional system.

The system uses a self-tailing, rope-gripping pulley which operates in either direction - even if the line is not under tension. A simple clutch lever determines the direction in which the traveler moves, or allows for it to be locked in position.
