Windlass with locking lever and controller to modulate amount of friction between gypsy and mounting shaft

摘要

Gypsy 103 is mounted on shaft 104. Locking lever 114 pivots about protrusions 117 and has tooth 120 which can engage pocket 112 in gypsy lock 111. By increasing the downward pressure applied to plunger 132 friction between protrusion 125 and groove 113 is increased.
