Patent
CA 2311141
A windlass assembly (100) includes a single-turn gypsy (103) for engaging the line and/or chain of an anchor rode of a water craft. This has to be driven from a drive shaft (104), but also has to have the capacity to rotate relative to the shaft (104) under the influence of the anchor as it is paid out. A lever (114) is movable between positions where it engages drive to and disengages drive from the gypsy. It is biased (e.g. by spring 121) towards the engaged position, but in its other position can be pressed onto the gypsy to control the friction to which the latter is subject while rotating relative to the shaft (104).
